When Dante met Carlos #MidWeekTease #AReBestseller #MMRomance #Thriller Duce

Welcome back to Mid Week Tease.

This week I have one more teaser from Duce before I start writing the next book in the series. I've gone back to the beginning to when Dante meets Carlos for the first time.

Oh, quick news. Duce made the All Romance Top 50 Bestsellers. A big THANK YOU to everyone who bought a copy. Want to find out what the fuss is about, check this out.

Back to the teaser. This is in Dante's POV.

At the bar, I ordered brandy, swallowed a sip, and then took the curved stairs up to the VIP area. Men sat on dark leather sofas arranged so they overlooked the main jam-packed club area below. I found a single-seater armchair in the corner of the lounge to perch on, my back to the wall.

I never liked sitting in a room with my back exposed. I preferred to see trouble before it found me. Problems were never far away, vacation or not.

From here, I watched male dancers in nothing but jockstraps on raised, caged platforms dotted around the club, sweat and glitter making their toned bodies glisten.

After tossing back the shot, I caught the eye of a young waiter who sauntered over and took my refill order. Waiting for the drink, I took my time to survey the other people in the lounge. A group of three thirty-something-year-old men sat in the section next to mine. Two of them looked like a couple by the way they touched each other.

The third met my gaze and flashed a set of white teeth as he smiled. Arching his brow and lifting his hand, he enquired if he could come over. He was good-looking with dark- brown hair and a well-built body under the t-shirt. Even his trousers seemed to hide a reasonably-sized shaft.

I tried to picture holding the man down, kicking out his legs and taking him over the table. My cock gave an unenthusiastic twitch. I was still too tense to entertain company. With an almost imperceptible shake of my head, I dissuaded him from getting up. The man shrugged and tipped his drink in salute.

The waiter brought my refill. I took a sip and relaxed into the leather chair, welcoming the gentle alcoholic haze in my mind that stripped away my agitation. My gaze trawled, exploring every male form in sight.

Another group of men sat a few sofas away. These were younger than me, too fresh-faced to be nothing more than just barely legal. Boisterous, they talked and laughed in loud voices, drawing attention.

I spotted him and my world skewed.

The boy—he appeared more boy than man—was whispering something to the person sitting next to him, when his blond lashes lifted in a slow, teasing manner.

My heart stopped and my skin prickled. If I wasn’t usually cool under duress, I would’ve been drooling.

The lad was what? Twenty? Twenty-one? Cute as hell in a smart mint-green polo shirt and navy trousers made of expensive shiny fabric that clung to a lean body. He came across as prep-school material and looked young enough to still be in college. Face like a fucking angel, dirty blond hair that flopped over his face, and pink lips that pouted in the way fashion models did.

I had no problem picturing the gioventù on his knees, that mouth stretched around my girth.

As he rose from the sofa, his dark and huge eyes shone with mischief. One of his friends laughed and lowered his head toward the low table, a rolled note in his right hand.

Columns of white powder lined the glass-topped surface and the man leaned over, sniffing half of the line before he straightened and repeated the action with the other nostril. Finally, he tilted his head back, pinching his nose.

My lip curled down, my jaw tightened, and I averted my gaze. The drug remained illegal, but just like homosexuality, it was freely available in Exilado for the right price.

I shouldn’t begrudge the young men their vices any more than I should condemn myself for having sex with other men. Still, I couldn’t help the weight of disappointment that settled on my shoulders. I’d seen the damage addictive drugs could wreck on perfectly normal lives. I’d taken an oath to keep the toxic substances out of Vincenzo territories. San Torino wasn’t my turf and there was nothing I could do other than ignore the young men snorting the white powder.

"Can I buy you a drink?" Blond boy had ambled over and stood only inches away, his lips curled in a ten kilo-watt smile.

My gaze held captivating eyes of dark green. For a moment, I forgot my disgust at what I’d just seen the gioventù’s friend do and simply admired the specimen before me. The flawless skin, the perfect nose, and the slender body of a person on the cusp of manhood made me increasingly aware of my own rapid heartbeat.

Damn. He was beautiful. I didn’t think I’d ever described another man with such a word, which reminded me exactly why the lad wasn’t my type. I liked them tougher than he looked. Not delicate. Not someone I had to worry about breaking.

"I've got a drink." I gave a gruff reply and lifted my glass to my lips but I might as well have been drinking water as all my senses honed in on the person in front of me.

Undeterred, the boy lowered his body in the chair opposite and extended his hand. "I'm Carl. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

I stared at the manicured, slender fingers that didn't look as if they'd seen a day's labour, reinforcing the feeling Carl wasn't for me. It didn't stop me from picturing them stroking my skin as my cock sprang to life.

"I didn't invite you to join me." My tone remained cool, in contrast to the heat riding my blood.

"You didn't."

"I'm not interested."

"I bet I could make you interested." Carl leaned across and settled his hand on my thigh.

"I didn't need a second invitation" #sexysnippets Duce #MMRomance

Happy Sunday! I joined the Sexy Snippets posse today and I'm sharing a snippet from Duce. Are you a writer and want to join in? Visit The Nuthouse Scribblers to sign up.

"You did a good job."

"I did?" Warmth spread across my chest at his approving words.

"Yes, you did. Come here."

I didn't need a second invitation. I hurried to him.

Placing both hands on either side of my face, he stared at me for a minute, the expression in his eyes completely unreadable. Then he jammed his hands into my hair, tugged my head back, and lowered his lips to mine.

The one where the mafia boss faces off with the hit man #MidWeekTease #MMRomance #newrelease

Welcome back to Mid-Week Tease where we tease you with excerpts from our published books or works-in-progess, organised by the lovely Sandra Bunino.

Two major things happened this week.

First thing, I have a new website. http://www.kaityler.com/ 
Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Second thing, Duce is live on Amazon and All Romance.

It's even garnered a 5-star rating on All Romance and a 4-star review on Amazon. Thank you!

The Amazon reviewer wrote: "it packs a far more powerful punch than Sicario. Its sexier, deadlier, darker and more dangerous for both Carlos and Dante." 

Although how she classified 234 pages as a short read, had me amused. She must have enjoyed it so much the pages flew by. 

So today I bring you a teaser from one of the deadlier scenes. In this scene Dante, faces off with Lexan from Sicario, Part One.Il Duce Vs Il Sicario. Who's going to win this showdown? Read on and find out. *grins*

Will a third complicate matters? @Starla_Kaye #Audiobook duo #booktour #giveaway
