Love is Love ~~ Margie Church




A few mornings a week, you'll find me in the classrooms at our local high school, tutoring students. Today, two of the students had to write position papers on amendments they believe should be made to our constitution. Not surprisingly, one chose more stringent gun control on the national level, and the other chose legalizing gay marriage in our state.

There were five students in this group, and because of their young age, they weren't aware of some things like common law marriages or estate planning. They hadn't thought about parenting biases, insurance liabilities, or many of the other adult things that we do. That's all good and well, because you know the one thing they all got? Marriage shouldn't be about gender pairings, and it's a violation of our inalienable right to happiness to keep up this ridiculous legal barrier. Listening to this conversation made me have real belief that Generation Y will get the job done, and the right to marry will become a non-issue in the country.

Since I'm in the mood for Happily Ever After, I'd like to share Krewe Daddy with you. It is the erotic sequel to my bestseller, Hard as Teak. Krewe Daddy is about the one who got away, second chances, and enduring love all wrapped in a suspenseful law enforcement drama.




Take a look and enjoy a hot excerpt, too!


Krewe Daddy by Margie Church

Luis is the Daddy, a sought-after lover, with an ego to match the mammoth-sized Mardi Gras floats he designs. His lifestyle and reputation are wearing him out, but Luis can't find a satisfying way to break the cycle and be happy, too.

Drew's insecurities pushed him to have a foolish affair six years ago. It destroyed his relationship with Luis, and he's never been able to commit to anyone since. Now, he's taken control of his life and changed his submissive personality by becoming a model for Kevin Marks, and a wildlife enforcement agent in New Orleans.

These men haven't forgotten each other, or settled their differences. When they accidentally meet in a French Quarter gay bar, the years of regret, anger, and pent-up emotions erupt. Their passion is as hot as ever, their mistrust just as potent. When Drew's future is in Luis' hands, will he choose his lifestyle or love?


Featuring Kevin, Teak, and Drew from Hard as Teak.




Exerpt:


He didn't extend his hand for Drew to shake; instead, he made a sweeping gesture with his hand.

"My office is this way."

They walked shoulder-to-shoulder in silence. Drew studied Luis covertly as they went. He noticed a few lines around Luis' eyes and in front of his ears. His hair and beard were jet-black, except for a few flecks of silver on his temples. Luis' scent, unfamiliar now, captivated him, making Drew feel like he was falling back into that submissive role so long forgotten.

Luis ushered him into his spacious office. Floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a bird's eye view of the French Quarter.

The door shut with a soft click.

"Have a seat, Drew."

The sound of Luis saying his name was like a homecoming, yet he resisted the allure. "I won't be here long."

"Suit yourself." Luis took off his suit jacket and hung it up. Afterward, he walked to the front of his desk while unbuttoning his cuffs. He never looked at Drew the entire time he rolled the sleeves. Finished, Luis sat, clasped his hands between his thighs and gave Drew his attention.

"What do you want?"

The reality of being in the same room with Luis was so powerful that Drew could hardly breathe. All the emotions of the past—love, hate, anger, loneliness, and disappointment—rushed over him. The words to answer this simple question were out of his grasp. They flew from his brain like confetti in a tickertape parade.

Luis' dark eyes bored into him. "Are you going to stand there staring at me or tell me why you're here? I could unbutton more of my shirt and show you some new ink."

Drew blinked back to reality. "I could, too. Our meeting at Tanners was nothing but an exercise in awkwardness. I thought we should try to have a civil conversation. Maybe we can move on."

Luis narrowed his eyes at Drew, seeming to contemplate a hidden question. "Is that what you want—to move on?"

He stiffened, not knowing whether to say yes or no. "We have unfinished business."

"That's true." Luis stood. "Where do you suggest we have this tête–à–tête?" He drew a deep breath; the sound of oxygen whistled through his nostrils. "In my bed?"

Luis closed the space between them. "Or would you prefer to settle this here? I can lock the door. Are you still into gag balls?"

Drew's heart strummed like an old-fashioned, wind-up alarm clock. He was aroused, curious, and completely caught up in Luis' seduction. The words fuck me old man were on his tongue. Drew stepped back, needing airspace between himself and the drug named Luis.

"Not here."

  1. Oh my! What a fantastic tease to start the day. I'm heading over to Amazon after this to check out your other titles. As for the marriage issue, I agree with your optimism. This current moral lockdown will result in a backlash of broadminded youth - marriage, marijuana, GMOs, etc. I just hope I live long enough to cheer them on. :D

  3. Unfortunately I don't have a HEA yet, but I am working on it. I haven't reached the end of my story and it has been a hard road to travel sometimes. But I have faith and after reading the tempting tease above it sounds like Krewe Daddy could be the inspiration I am looking for to keep on trying.

  4. Celt3 - please don't give up. And as for Drew and Luis, they were apart a number of years after misunderstandings and foolish mistakes. I believe in second changes. Best wishes.

  5. What a wonderful post. I love that your students are aware of the important things such as the right to marry who want. It's such a step up from the times when I was in school. I've had my HEA for many years, and want the same for everyone else. It's such a great time to be a teacher with more young people that have such a more accepting view of equality as it should be.
    Don't enter me as I have it and have read it 3 times now...love it. love it, love it!

    1. Aw, Darcy, you're a dear, wonderful woman. And yes, it is exciting to see the world through the possibilities of young eyes and minds. Glad you stopped in and I hope you always have a HEA.

      Hugs!

  6. My HEA is still TBA, so to speak, but it's great to hear about your students! I think the more HEA stories people of all orientations tell, the sooner marriage equality will become reality.
