by a personal picture prompt to post on Tuesdays. The emphasis is on having fun,
pictures can be anything that takes our fancy. I hope you enjoy what we have to

step into the tattoo parlour, I’d never wanted one. In fact I’d always found
them to be distasteful. Truth be told I walked by this old building every day
and this was the first time I’d noticed the fantastic renovations. The
converted factory was rather attractive and the interior was austere without
being stark, a mixture of sterile and fashionable. There was only one person in
the large shop and he gave me a welcoming smile. “So you’ve decided today is
the day?” I frowned at the odd turn of phrase. I didn’t know what to say or do
and just stood there speechless. The other man seemed to smile even wider and I
was a little disconcerted with the fact he looked rather cherubic for a
handsome young man. “Did you have a design in mind or would you rather choose
from my exclusive assortment?” He lifted a massive portfolio onto the high
counter and opened it to about the centre and turned it to face me. I flipped
the pages a few times, skimming the drawings. I was about to turn the page
again when a delicate blue swallow caught my attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and there was a strange woman in bed with his lover. Domenic seemed to be
touching her in a professional manner after all, he was a chiropractor. Why had
she come to his bedroom and not his patient rooms next door? When Jed took an
angry step towards the bed a deep growl alerted him to the man in the corner.
Jed hadn’t noticed him or the two others with him. When Dom had tried to explain
how close the pack was Jed couldn’t comprehend it, now he was seeing the big
picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Shrink

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">As she stretched out on the funky
lounger Douglas repeated his statement, “But tell me how you really feel.” The
glare she gave him almost made him chuckle but he wanted to remain
professional. He was pleasantly surprised when she’d agreed to his suggestion
for today’s session. It wasn’t the first time he’d prodded in this direction
but she constantly refused and he never wanted to push too far. He was so lucky
she was so easy going with some of his more outlandish requests. After all not many
psychologists would be so flexible by changing roles with their patients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He tried to keep his mind on task and not on his
friend’s fine ass. It was his sexual urges that had gotten him into this
situation and they were definitely not going to help matters right now. It
wasn’t fair Derric looked like a Hollywood heartthrob, especially now that
vampires were all the rage with the young and gullible. He stifled a snicker
and the not so young but even more susceptible. Derric’s fantastic features
were not what he needed to be concentrating on at the moment. He had to find a
way to convince these crazy vampires he was not their leader. There was no way
he was the answer to their confinement. Everyone was counting on him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Derric
turned to see what was keeping him so he speed up his steps and decided to put
all his doubts aside and concentrate on the skirmish to come. He wasn’t scared
of the upcoming challenge as he would simply do his best. He was not afraid of
his opponent or his followers but he was anxious for those who believed in him
and showed their defiance. If he failed they would be severely punished – so failure
wasn’t an option.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Craig laughed outloud at the mess Jay’s sister had made. She’d
been told to stop snooping but she wouldn’t so they’d booby trapped their house
knowing her curiosity wouldn’t be abated. The couple couldn’t risk her
revealing their research. She wasn’t malicious just headstrong and curious, which
is why she was dazed and sprawled on the floor of Craig and Jay’s bedroom,
bound by red ties and sporting heavy black spray paint where she’d tried peeking
in the mail slot. It was reminiscent of old-time cartoon blunders but this was
a serious matter as thousands of lives were at stake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Author Cyril J.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Marcel was furious as he stared across the showroom at the black
and white photo surrounded by scores of people. He regretted letting Doug talk
him in to displaying his student’s work. Now instead of concentrating on Marcel’s
fantastic Fall Collection everyone was talking about the background prop. His
colorful fashions should be the only star tonight; not the gorgeous models, not
the celebrity attendees and certainly not some student photographer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

disaster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Author Cyril J.

Tantalizing
Tuesday is all about writing 200 word Tantalizing Teasers, inspired by a
personal picture prompt to post on Tuesdays. The emphasis is on having fun,
pictures can be anything that takes our fancy. I hope you enjoy what we have to

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Murphy rushed in and hunkered down under Jeremy’s desk.
Before Jeremy could ask what was going on in sashayed Lisa. She was definitely
on the prowl. She’d been warned about her behaviour and her attire to no avail.
“Oh Jeremy, it’s just you here. I thought I saw Murphy. Man, I’m telling you
that guy has a first-class ass. I mean seriously have you ever seen a tighter
more luscious sight? And his package . . .” Her sigh was deep and fake, meant
to show off cleavage but the action was wasted on him. When she continued to describe
the gorgeous handyman’s assets he felt himself harden and hoped his reaction wasn’t
seen. He felt a hand trail up his trousers, quickly unzipping him and delving
under his boxers. He almost choked when Murphy took his pulsing flesh
completely into his wet mouth and strongly sucked. Jeremy spent all his
concentration trying not to moan and shoot down the back of the other man’s
throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Fine be like that. I can’t believe you’re acting like child
and you won’t answer my question.” She flounced out slamming the door just as he
let out a loud groan with his release.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had to drink?</i> The thought echoed through Caleb’s mind when he woke. He was
surprised to find Grace wrapped in his arms, he knew it was nothing sexual. They
were friends. Well not only friends, more like siblings. They loved one another
but not like that. This embrace was all about comfort. All about solace and
protection. They’d run for their lives last night and as the events of the past
few days rushed over him Caleb knew he and Grace had both been lucky to escape
with their lives – others hadn’t been so lucky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Author Cyril J.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He’d done the unforgivable this time. The gorgeous
man sitting before him looked so sad and it was all because of his own thoughtless
actions. Beechem’s apology had no impact whatsoever and he was running out of
promises to make. Seeing such a strong man looking so devastated made him feel
like an utter asshat. There was really no excuse for Beechem’s total disregard
for his lover’s feelings. He had quickly pushed aside the guilt and misgivings
and acted selfishly knowing full well how Jake would feel if he ever found out.
Jake was often a kind and forgiving man but he had certain tenets he could not
abide being disregarded. At the time, Beechem truly believed he had no other
choice. He had known there would be repercussions but had immediately convinced
himself that he could gain Jake’s forgiveness if he ever found out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

included same sex couples. Because the shit had hit and it looked like Beechem
would be filling out a crap load of Employee Assistance Program forms for
counselling sessions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Eve looked so dejected and he felt entirely helpless. Even though distance separated
them he could almost feel her pain and loneliness. Her despair engulfed her and
enveloped Adam. Their mother had always resented the deep connection the
siblings shared. In a malicious outburst she had convinced their father to separate
them. Eve spent her time among the austere land of the desert protecting their
father’s worshippers. Adam spent his time among the lush blooming forest
protecting their mother’s followers and fearing for his sister’s sanity with
each passing moment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Craig had surreptitiously taken the photo when Dunn’s
eyes were closed. He knew Dunn loved him he had no doubt of his strong
feelings. Dunn’s family had a legacy of military service and he followed the
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy. Craig was fine with it but sometimes wished he
could indulge in some public displays to show his affection. There was nothing
wrong with their private displays! It was the simple acts he wanted to share
most; the hand-holding, the quick hug or kiss. He wasn’t looking to grope in
public. More than anything he wanted to squeeze the hand of the man he loved as
he was recovering. If he had been conscious Craig would ask but this was a no
win situation. If he went against Dunn’s wishes the other man might never
forgive him but if he couldn’t claim more than friendship here at the hospital Craig
was going to fall apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

design. His apprentice was always looking for new ink. She was also keen to
learn the skills of their trade, thus the video camera. She turned her head
sideways, “Maybe I’ll make a copy for Phil – amazing how horny he gets watching
me get inked. Want one for Martin?” Adam didn’t want to hurt her feelings by
telling her Marty would be far from turned on. He was supportive but his fear
of needles was so pronounced Adam’s husband couldn’t step foot in the shop.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

other commuters he enjoyed being forced to a standstill. He spent the minutes
fantasizing his fingers were running the ice cube along the bronze skin of the gorgeous
man sprawled larger than life for Lyman’s pleasure. He pictured himself tracing
the well-defined muscles with first the quickly melting cube, followed by his
tongue to lap the moisture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Hey man, got a smoke?” David frowned and bent back to his
book. But the boy didn’t take the hint and kept circling the bench. “I just
want one.” David shot him a glare before trying to get back into his book. The
teen kept circling the bench and David lost his concentration. “Look even if I
had a cigarette you’re too young to smoke. Now can you please leave me to my
book and this nice weather?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Dude, I’m 16 and I’ve been smoking since I was 13.” He

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This kid was pissing him off. All he’d wanted to do was

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Are you gay? How old were you when you knew you liked

sad eyes broke through his anger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I guess I was younger than you. I work for the crisis
center if you’d like to follow me there.” David handed him his business card
and the book about a young man’s identity struggle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beck didn't know what made him dig out the old photo. It had
been five years since the summer spent at the cabin but for some reason he
couldn't stop thinking about it. He regretted so many things from his past. The
biggest was the way he had left things with Wynn. He had been a complete ass
and his ex deserved better. It wasn't as if Wynn had surprised him when he’d
asked Beck to marry him. Just because Beck couldn't come clean with his family
it wasn't fair he had accused Wynn of trying to force his hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pictures can be anything that takes our fancy. I hope you enjoy what we have to

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">“Davey, stop messing around! This neighborhood
is completely shitty and I’m not playing your silly games.” When Newell was
greeted by silence his anger quickly turned to fear, his best friend would have
given up the joke by now. A quick glance around the dark parking lot showed it
was as deserted now as it had been twenty minutes ago when New had left the
club. He once again tried Davey’s cell phone and heard the faint strains of Dancing
Queen. He cursed his friend’s warped sense of humor. When he rounded another
row of cars he saw Davey sprawled on the ground, brown spray paint spelling FAG
across his immaculate white shirt.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He had told Davey not to come
outside alone as the violence around the club had been escalating, but <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he was too stubborn to give in to anyone he
considered a bully. New dialled 911 as he rolled his friend over to check out
the damage. New wished it wasn’t too serious because the police hadn’t been
very helpful the last time Davey had been attacked by a group of homophobic
ruffians. A second later he realized this was no ordinary hate crime.</span></span><br />

his eyes. The wolf had never been around before he would have definitely
noticed. Jay really wanted to walk up to the beast and see just how friendly he
was. He looked intelligent, stunning with piercing eyes. They reminded him of
the gorgeous man he’d seen the other night at his club. His heart started
beating faster as he recalled the warmth of the other man’s touch. Jay had
never seen him before, he definitely would have remembered him also. He laughed
at the fact he was stiffing just standing here remembering a man he’d barely glanced.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

envied them their bond, the absolute joy they showed in each other’s company.
Gregory knew what a tough time this family was having but looking at them right
now it was hard to see how fresh the wounds were. Gregory watched as his niece
approached the pair and asked if Hale would push her too. Hale glanced Gregory’s
way as if to ask permission and helped Trina into the swing and positioned
himself between the two children who excitedly chatted with one another.
Thinking now would be the best time to approach him about his sister’s
suggestion Gregory got up from where he was sitting on the ground and walked
over to the little group and jumped right in, “So Barbara said you were looking
for daycare so you can go back to work. I can watch her during the day when I
have Trina. The girls get along and it’s not a problem for me.” Gregory saw the
doubts cross the other man’s face. “Look I know a male babysitter is a little
unusual but I work from home and I have Trina so it wouldn’t be a problem.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>Author Cyril J.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cain looked on as Twenty-Three stood guard over Ten who
cuddled the infant Seventy-Six. The entire pod was enthusiastic over this
latest incubation. The population was in a steady increase and the
Environmental Response Detail was making great progress on the farming quads.
Perhaps they could turn things around and once again be the thriving warriors
they had once been. They would have to learn from their past and not be so
arrogant. With patience and steady nurturing they would survive. Seventy-Six
was their future and now that the cloning kinks had finally worked out things
were definitely looking brighter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Thomas held the faded picture in his hand and was
assaulted by the memories. He and John had grown up together, joined the war
together and died together. However, only Thomas now lived forever, haunted by
the loss of his best friend, the man he had silently longed for but watched
marry another and start a family. Over the years he’d made sure John’s
descendants were well taken care of but he had always been involved from a
distance, never getting close enough to make direct contact. That was until
today.Thomas found himself drawn to a crowded, loud gay bar, a place he would
normally avoid. He didn’t know what had made him step inside but as he turned
to leave he collided with a warm, solid body. He found himself looking into a
pair of eyes miraculously similar to his lost love’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

still for Thomas, the world stopped existing and the only thing that mattered
was the musky scent of sandalwood and nutmeg. But that wasn’t quiet right. John
had had a slight scent of vanilla but then again Thomas did not possess the
heightened senses he did now so his memory might be mistaken. </span></div>Author Cyril J.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Elliot tried to hide his smirk. Last night his coworkers had
thought it was a great idea to party like rock stars. This morning they were
paying for it. He’d warned them to wait until after the trade show and
conference to run wild in Sin City.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He briefly let his mind wander to Terrence, the top sales
rep of their chief competitor; they would meet up later this week and indulge
in their annual fling. But first Elliot had to get his rag tag team in shape to
face a frantic day at his favorite event of the year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Author Cyril J. Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08121700729761013966noreply@blogger.com9
