Thank you so much for hosting the final stop on my tour, celebrating the re-release of my m/m paranormal romance, Superpowered Love 3: Nobody’s Hero. Yes, there are two books before this one and many after—but they can be read in any order! Enter the giveaway, and maybe snag yourself a copy or two!
To be direct, this book is an erotic romance. Heavy on both “erotic” and “romance” as descriptors. We’ve got a Catholic programmer nerd and an ex popular-kid sales guy falling in love, and there are new horizons to be explored for both of them. So without further ado, let’s get to one of those, shall we?
Sometimes, you have a rough day. Like Jamie, our hero and storyteller here. And sometimes, you want your boyfriend to help you out with that….
I pulled my secret weapon out of the bag: amaretto-flavored alcoholic whipped cream. “But it’s done, and I have good news too. Look what I found.”
[Kellan] eyed it, one eyebrow cocked. “The hell is that for?”
“You are so unimaginative.”
He smirked.
“But don’t you worry your pretty little head.” I leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on him. “That’s what I’m here for: to be the brains.”
“What’s that make me?”
I set the can down on the counter and kissed him again. “The cock.”
“I’ve been called worse by nicer people.” He grabbed it and started toward the couch, ostensibly reading the back copy.
“Where you going with that?”
He threw himself down on the couch, still reading. “C’mere. I’ll show you how imaginative I can be.”
Yes. Yes, this was just what I needed. Exactly what I needed. Another of Kellan’s finer qualities: his willingness to be diverted—at least for a while.
And, in turn, to divert me.
I followed him to the couch and crawled up into his lap just how he liked, leaning forward with my hands on his shoulders, ass up, and kissed him to distract his attention from the can. “I know you can, baby.” Another kiss, and this time he took over, biting at my bottom lip and breathing deeply.
I did too, the warm, clean scent of him, the faint spearmint taste of his favorite gum, sinking into the feeling of his hard thighs between mine. I closed it off again and continued with, “But you know I like to surprise you.” Another kiss, and I put my hands at the hem of my shirt, pulling it up slowly and breaking the kiss only when I absolutely had to in order to get the thing off. I threw it on the coffee table and tugged at his.
He set the can down to help.
I grabbed for it, hopped off him, and wandered around the couch, pretending to read the back of the can like he had.
He groaned. “Oh, you prick.”
I pretended to ignore him, making my way toward the kitchen again.
I heard him vault over the back of the couch. “That’s cheating.”
I kept my back turned as I popped the cap off. “What’s that saying about love and war?” I tilted my head back and shot some cream into my mouth. It was stronger than I’d expected, like a frothy shot of vodka with just the faintest almond flavor. I swallowed unhurriedly, though I felt him stalking me just feet away. “Mmm, it’s good too.”
He attacked, wrapping me up in his arms; happily, he had continued taking his shirt off after I’d abandoned him. I doubled over as if to protect the can, my protests drowned out by laughter as he wrestled me to the ground. He pinned me on my back, straddling my hips and holding my wrists over my head, his lips inches from mine, grinning.
I smirked and let go the can.
He snatched it up, using one hand to pin my arms to the floor, and put it out of reach near his left knee. Then he leaned back over, positioned himself just above me again, settled his ass down right on my crotch, and said, “Aw, lookit you, all defeated.”
I arched my back, rubbing my swelling cock against the inside of his thigh. “Unh, I dunno, Kelly. Feels like winning to me.”
He shifted his hips, increasing the pressure. Boy had a future as a lap-dancer if the whole code-monkey thing didn’t work out. He took a deep breath of me, put his lips not half an inch from mine, so I could feel them move. “Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Guess no one ever taught you: best way to get something you want is just to ask for it.”
“Kellan?”
“Yes?”
I arched again, sighing, mouth just open enough to let him get the right idea. “May I please, please have some?”
He bit back a smile.
I stuck out my lower lip. “Pretty please? Sugar on top?”
“See, who could say no to that?” He rearranged me so I could sit up, then put his ass to the floor.
I scooted forward between his legs and threw mine over his thighs. I ran my fingers down the trail of dark hair that led from his chest, down his belly to the little wrinkles sitting up created just above the low waist of his jeans. I eyed his erection, obscenely filling out the denim, and strangled a manic urge to get it out and get it in me right then.
By the time I raised my eyes again, he had the lid off. He squirted a decent-sized dollop of fluff onto two fingers and then held it out to me.
Always just what I fucking needed.
I took him by the wrist and guided his fingers into my mouth. I closed my lips, sucked the cream slowly, running my tongue first along the bottom, over his knuckles up to the fingertips, then turned his hand over and licked my way up the inside.
He smiled, open-mouthed, and licked his lips almost as if he didn’t even realize.
I tickled the inside of his wrist, then sucked his fingers in as far as they’d go, until I felt them pressing at the back of my throat.
He gasped. “Jesus.”
I sucked as I pulled his fingers out of my mouth, dragged my teeth carefully over the fingertips, and finally kissed them. “More, please?”
I mean, who could resist? Be sure and comment below, and enter the giveaway, either way!

Superpowered Love 3: Nobody’s Hero
Jamie Monday lives in two different worlds. With his family, he’s the golden child of awakened superpowered society. He’s meant to do great things and pass on his powers—with the appropriate girl, hand-picked by his mother. He’s already failed at the first, so he can’t bring himself to tell her the wife and children aren’t happening either.
With his friends, he’s the social director and life of the party. He’s also an out gay man with an appetite for quick and easy lays. It’s tough to have a relationship when you’re hiding off-the-charts electrical powers, but Jamie doesn’t mind.
Not until the prickly, paddy rocking, geeky-hot new guy at work shows him what he’s been missing. Kellan’s singular combination of dirty mouth and pure soul makes Jamie spark right from the beginning. But if he’s going to overcome Kelly’s defensive front and reach the gentle heart inside, Jamie will first have to come to terms with his own divided lives.
