Interactive: Make It A Double, ch. 14

“Two of you in one day...lucky me,” Hank spat when Ben walked in.  The older man leaned against the bar, not bothering to hide his annoyance.   “Get lost like your fruity bouncer?”  

Ben smiled and took up a stool, ignoring the glares from the older men on either side.  They were of an average, middle-aged type, with jeans and baggy t-shirts covering their unremarkable, dumpy builds.  That was the Sullivan’s crowd; older straight guys griping abou...

Hidden Passages: Chosen Family

Aaron stormed down the sidewalk, furious at having caught his roommate with yet another of his girlfriends.  Jake had known that Aaron thought of Tracy as more than a one night stand, but as always, the charming blonde jock couldn’t keep his hands to himself.  Bill had known too, the stocky man always did, and like always he’d kept his mouth shut out of loyalty to Jake.  The three of them may have shared a house, but it was clear who the odd man out was.  

Tracy ...

It was situations like these that told Ben he was on the right path.  Whenever he started to feel guilt or question his continued usage of the book, fate would present him with a sign that everything was exactly as it should be.  He hadn’t gone out looking for Mark.  It never even would have occurred to him that the brawny young stud would be a suitable candidate if the loudmouthed brute hadn’t put himself in the book’s path.  Ben was simply walking to work when Mark...

Story Directory/DropBox Update

Hi Everyone,

For those of you with access to the DropBox, I just added a listing of the stories in there broken up by category.  This isn't a perfect list, and there's a lot of bleed over since my stories tend to focus on more than just one element at a time, but it should at least give you some direction.  Now, if you're in the mood for something specific, you can better tailor your selections.  It's the first file in there, so it should be right at the top when you open...

Recommended Reading

A quick recommended reading since we haven’t had one in a minute.  Sci-fi fans are already probably familiar with this series, but if you aren’t, you should definitely give it a look. These books are a fantastic blend of sword and sorcery and classic sci-fi, bringing out the best elements of both.  The first book is a collection of loosely connected short stories set in the Earth’s far future as the sun is burning out, and the line between science and magic has blurred. The ot...

New Beginnings, ch. 3

Russ watched Colin lumber towards his office with an expectant grin.  The beefy wall of fur and muscle was nothing like the lean young man who used to visit him.  His friend had bulked up considerably in just the few hours since he’d last seen him that morning.  When they’d left the house Colin’s borrowed clothes had been loose and oversized, hiding the expanding body underneath.  Now the young man’s lumpy new bulk was clearly evident, his widened shoulders and inf...

“We’ll have to do this again,” Owen grinned, leaning over to give Ben a peck on the forehead before rolling off the bed.  Ben watched the brawny hulk stand and stretch, loving the barely visible nub that was almost entirely obscured by the older man’s meaty thighs. 

“Anytime,” Ben yawned, feeling a thrill when he sat up and his stolen girth flopped against his thigh.  He gave one of Owen’s muscled cheeks a squeeze, his enlarged organ throbbing at the memory ...

Werkout (vignette)

“Dude was a total creep.  He had the nerve to tell me...ME...that if I didn’t want him staring I shouldn’t have been dressed that way.  What the fuck am I, some chick?  You don’t get to tell me what to wear, bro,” Mike called over the sound of the shower.  He’d been complaining to Vince about his run-in at the gym since he’d walked through the door.  The beefy jock had just finished working out and was prepared to shower in the locker room like he normal...

Safety Net

(This one has two endings, with the cut off point indicated for both)

Jason stared at the grunting brute of a man on the monitor with a growing pit in his stomach.  The burly stud was clearly enjoying himself, moaning and whimpering like a beast while his ample muscle shook from the jackhammer pounding he was receiving.  The huge, oozing club wagging wildly between his trunk-like thighs made his athletic partner’s sizeable equipment look small by comparison.  E...

Voting

Hi Everyone,

I hope your weeks are off to a good start. Just a quick note to say that you all are killin’ it with the voting! This interactive more than any other has had the most number of ties and results within 1 vote of each other, and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and vote. These stories are the hardest to write because of the turn around time, but also the most fun because of everyone’s participation. 

As always, pl...

Ben was floating, weightless and untethered through the cosmic sea.  Distant stars, no more than small points of light, surrounded him on all sides, peppering the inky void while far off nebulas swirled like luminescent clouds.  He could see it all, even a glimpse of the outer reaches and the monolithic shapes hovering at the edges of creation.  The true nature of existence was unfolding before his bodiless eyes and he was one with it all.  

“...en.”  

New Beginnings, ch. 2

Colin’s heart was a jackhammer in his chest.  Sitting on Russ’s large leather sofa, the trembling young man felt like he’d just spent an hour on the treadmill.  He still didn’t know why he’d even agreed to come over to his friend’s house and chalked it up to the stress over whatever was happening to his body.  He kept telling himself he wasn’t really going to cross the line with another guy, but now, sitting inches away from his beefy friend, that resolve was ...

Walking through the large, iron gate, it was hard to for Brandon to tell they were in a cemetery at all.  The occasional bouquet of flowers broke up the sea of well-kept grass and a weathered abbey stood at the top of a gentle hill, but there wasn’t a tombstone in sight.  Behind the abbey, a wall of forest rounded out the picturesque setting, making it feel more like they were out for a stroll in a park ...

“Reigning champs, comin’ through!”  Dylan shoved his way through the crowd, drinks in hand.  The tall jock loved the dirty looks from the people he shouldered out of the way as much as his two friends who trailed behind.  

“Would you assholes keep it on the field,” Brad sighed as the trio made their way back to the table.  

“Dude, relax,” Josh said, squaring his broad shoulders and looking around the crowded bar.  “We’re just letting the ...

Skipping Ahead

It was a ridiculous situation, yet Eric couldn’t walk away.  He’d been caught off guard, standing naked in front of a stranger with nothing but a small, thin towel wrapped around his trim waist, but there was more than mere awkwardness behind his hesitation.  This man, who he’d never seen before, approached him out of the blue in the locker room asking if he believed in magic and saying he could give him his heart’s desire.  

“Look, man, you kinda have me at a d...

Interactive: Make It A Double, ch. 9

***** The winning option was to keep this one going.  I've got some ideas for the next few chapters as we head towards the conclusion, but since I didn't put a vote up for a specific change this time, I went with the runner up from last time. *****

“Damn...there a convention in town or something,” Zack whistled, raising an eyebrow as he followed Ben’s gaze to the handful of thick, bottom heavy men across the bar.  Their outfits were jarring, seeming tailored s...

Lesson Learned

“Why are we doing this again?”  Scott had a bad feeling about the entire plan, and the sprawling estate unfolding before them as their Uber pulled up wasn’t making him feel any better.  

“So we don’t go to jail,” Ben said.  

“I mean, WE wouldn’t necessarily go to jail,” Adam added, shooting a dirty look in Chad’s direction.  

“Hey, fuck you guys,” the lean blonde spat, waving off their ride.  “You were all in the car...you�...

DropBox Update

Quick update - all chapters of Make It A Double, as well as An Empty Beach, and New Beginnings, ch. 1 have been added to the DropBox.  The copy of Wish Candle, pt. 1 that was in there was removed and replaced with the completed text. 

Interactive: Make It A Double, ch. 8

The book was a parasite.  Ben may have opened the cover and held the pen, but the volume itself was the one in control.  The voice in his head whispering justifications sounded increasingly like his own, and though he hadn’t written a single sentence about himself, Ben knew he was changing.  The reluctance and horror he felt over his actions was replaced by a numb detachment through which he was starting to view the world as a whole.  The building blocks of reality seeme...

********** Just a quick sketch of a CB story idea inspired by the above picture **********

Todd gasped and shivered, leaning against the wall for support while Mike’s hands roamed up and down his washboard abs.  The light stubble on the other man’s cheeks tickled the sensitive skin of his lower back, just above his solid, perky bubble.  He felt like he was going to explode.  Mike had been working him over for the better part of an hour, slowly stripping him down until...

New Beginnings, ch. 1

Russ watched Colin weaving his way through the cubicles towards his office.  The athletic young man had the kind of fit, smooth body he’d always been secretly envious of.  Puberty had hit Russ hard and early, leaving him with a coating of fur since before he could drive.  While his friends and teammates strutted around with their sculpted, hairless muscle, he packed on the pounds beneath the dense, dark forest that covered him from head to toe.  He was solid with muscle,...

Ben sat at the kitchen counter, still marveling at the changes to Logan’s apartment.  He’d only seen it in passing, but the clean, well-appointed living room was nothing like the grungy bachelor pad it had been the night before.  Stylish furniture, modern decorations, bright colors, framed pictures of naked men where sports memorabilia had been; it made Ben’s place feel straight by comparison.  

“Sounded like you had a good time last night,” Ben called as Logan ...

Wish Candle, finale (vignette)

***** Finally finishing this one!  If you click the "wishcandle" tag at the bottom you can find the previous chapters.  The reading order is "current vignettes," "day 3, part two," "day 4," and then this one.  I'm going to give it all a fresh edit and release for everyone at some point, but at least it has an ending. *****

Dylan stirred, his beefy arms tightening around Jeff instinctively.  He watched a troubled expression cross his friend’s sleeping fac...

An Empty Beach

“What is it we’re looking for again?”  Paul swiveled his head, surprised at the size of the empty, expansive beach stretching before them.  The glittering white sand was peppered with driftwood and shells, giving texture to the otherwise smooth turf that butted up against an equally smooth surf.  The wind was low and the sun was high, the slow, rhythmic crashing of the waves creating a hypnotic pattern as they broke against the shore.  When they’d pulled the car ov...

Ben felt nauseous over his actions at the club that night.  He was disgusted, replaying the events in his head while he drove, the book looming like a physical presence in the passenger seat, taunting him.  Even now he wanted to pull over and start writing.  It was a compulsion; it didn’t matter who the subject was.  His knuckles were white around the steering wheel and his heart a jackhammer in his chest.  He would have thrown the book out of the window if he could...

Wrong Number: Put Me In, Coach

“I tell ya, Chad, it’s not like it used to be,” Jake yelled over the pulsing music.  The older man took a drag off his beer and shot a disdainful look at the diverse crowd filling the room.  As the new coach of the university football team, Jake had grudgingly agreed to a trip to the strip club as a reward for his players’ hard work.  Being new, he didn’t want to poison the well or be seen as uptight, something he’d been accused of plenty in the past.  Now, wat...

Make It A Double, ch. 5

Ted gasped, a sharp jolt of tension running across his solid pecs.  The sizeable mounds burned and ached as if he’d just spent the past couple hours pounding out rep after rep at the gym, not drinking and dancing.  He started to worry if what he was feeling was the beginning of a heart attack.  At 47 he wasn’t as young as he used to be, and he’d messed with plenty of steroids over the years to build the bulky muscle he loved to show off.  

As he turn...

DropBox Update

For those who are interested, The DropBox has been updated to include the full text of "Hidden Passages: A New Order," "Bound," the complete "Going Down," the first four chapters of "Make It A Double," and tomorrow's story, "Wrong Number: Put Me In Coach."  

Going Down

***** This was posted as a vignette a while back, but I gave it a fresh edit and a proper ending to release for everyone.  So even if you read it back then, take another look! Enjoy! *****

“Hey hon’,” Chris said, loosening his tie and kicking his shoes off as he came home from work. “Bad day?”  His boyfriend, Sean, was sitting on the couch with a sour expression on his otherwise handsome face.  The sculpted man was in his usual post-work outfit of sma...

“Oooof, all the winners came out tonight,” Tim scoffed, turning back to his drink.  He checked out his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, making sure his baseball cap was exactly in place.  

The young man pouring drinks pretended not to hear the arrogant jock.  “You say somethin’ honey?” Zack asked, rolling his eyes at Ben.  

Tim ignored the question, turning his head from side to side to admire the way the dim lighting accentuated his sharp che...
