Sunday's Safe Word Shelf: Training Season by Leta Blake


Training Season #1
Summary:
Unquestionably talented figure skater Matty Marcus is willing to sacrifice everything for his Olympic dream, but his lack of discipline cost him the gold once before. Now the pressure’s on. He needs a coach who can keep him in line, but top coaches don't come cheap, and Matty can't afford to stay in the game no matter how badly he wants to win.

When a lucrative house-sitting gig brings him to rural Montana, Matty does his best to maintain his training regimen. Local residents turn out to be surprisingly tolerant of his flamboyant style, especially handsome young rancher Rob Lovely, who proves to be much more than a cowboy stereotype. Just as Matty requires a firm hand to perform his best on the ice, Rob shows him how strong he can be when he relinquishes control in the bedroom. With new-found self-assurance, he drives himself harder to go straight to the top.

But competition has a timetable, and to achieve his Olympic dream, Matty will have to join his new coach in New York City, leaving Rob behind. Now he must face the ultimate test. Has he truly learned how to win—on and off the ice—during his training season?

Training Complex #2
Summary:
Buckle up – Matty’s back!

Figure skater Matty Marcus didn't capture Olympic gold, but he won rancher Rob Lovely's heart.

After Rob sold his ranch and Matty hung up his skates, they started a new life together in New York City. Now Matty has taken on a fresh challenge as a figure skating coach, and Rob's second career as a physical therapist should be everything he's dreamed of. But in the brutal heat of their third summer in the city, Rob yearns for the wide-open country, and the intensity of city life awakens Matty’s demons.

Matty asks for increasingly intense BDSM scenes, and his disordered eating and erratic behavior ramp up the stakes. Rob struggles to stay in control, and after a well-intentioned anniversary gift goes awry, he still thinks he can handle the fallout. But the concrete jungle is closing in and his coping skills are unraveling.

Their love is deep, but Rob will have to admit the truth about what he really wants before they both tumble into chaos.


Training Complex #2
Matty sat on the toilet and shook the cock cage, rattling it to the best of his ability. The vibration of the lock on the polycarbonate resonated against his straining flesh but it gave him no relief.  “Fuck, fuck,” he whispered, needing more stimulation, needing anything that would take his mind off his desperate need to come.

He’d never, ever felt so horny in his life. He knew this was true because while every single hour since putting on the cock cage had consisted of escalating horniness, rising unbearably moment-to-moment, but the fact that he’d been so overwhelmed at a dinner with Anja and Ben, of all people, that he’d had to leave the table and frantically, uselessly masturbate in the toilet stall said it all. Hands down, it was both the most horny and most mortified he’d ever been. Well, maybe failing at the Olympics was worse. Or that time with Rob and the toilet in Montana, but that had ended up being weirdly intimate. Oh, God, he didn’t need to think about anything intimate.

“Matty?” Rob’s voice preceded the fall of his footsteps and the sound of the bathroom door swinging shut. “You okay in here?”

“I’m fine.”

“What’s taking so long?”

Matty looked down at his dick, pressed hard and miserably against the polycarbonate cock cage, and then at his swollen, aching balls, already so full of unreleased spunk. Fuck, he needed to come.

“Are you alone?” Matty asked.

“Yes.”

“No one else is in here?”

“No.”

Matty unlocked the stall door and pushed it open a little. Rob appeared in the opening and he held the door open wider, staring down to where Matty sat on the toilet, his leggings around his ankles, his shirt held up, and his poor cock smashed against the clear sides of the device.

“Well, I guess I see the problem,” Rob said, quietly. Tired lines appeared around his eyes. “I admit I’m not sure where it came from, though. Dinner conversation was pretty unsexy, I thought.”

“It was you,” Matty whispered. “I could smell you.”

Rob’s eyebrows went up, and his lips twisted into a small, fatigued smirk. “Smell me?”

“I swear I could smell your dick and I started salivating every time I inhaled.”

“Sweetheart, there’s no way you could smell my dick.”

“No, I could smell it. I could almost taste it,” Matty gasped, rattling his cock cage again, trying to get some good friction. “Let me taste it. I just need to suck you and I’ll be okay.” He reached out to grab hold of Rob’s hips but Rob moved out of his grasp.

“Wait a second, hold on.” Rob left the stall and Matty heard him curse softly. “Okay,” he said, opening the stall door again and stepping inside, shutting it behind him. “There’s no lock. We need to be fast.”

Matty didn’t need to be told twice. He had his hands on Rob’s zipper and his mouth on Rob’s dick before Rob was even completely hard. He moaned, sucking it to its full length and thickness, and then plunged down to bury his nose in Rob’s sweet smelling pubic hair sticking out through the undone crotch of his pants. Rob’s fingers grazed across Matty’s forehead as he worked the button undone, and then he gripped Matty’s hair and murmured, “Pull off a second.” Then Rob’s pants were around his thighs, and Matty had full access to his cock and balls.

His skin tasted good, and Matty dove in eager and hungry for the taste of pre-come. He worked for it, using one hand on Rob’s balls, and the other to pump his shaft, and when the first delicious bead leaked out onto his tongue, he groaned and went back down to get more.
“Fucking hell,” Rob whispered.

Matty popped off and gazed up at him, keeping his hand working Rob’s cock. “Come in my mouth, please, please, I want it.” He dove back down and pressed his tongue out to take Rob as deep as possible. He let go of Rob’s balls to reach down and tug on the cock cage, feeling the root of his cock ache with the pressure of backed up semen and the semi erection crammed into the device.

Rob pumped into his mouth a few times, holding his jaw open and gripping the back of his head, and then he pulled out. “Stand up, turn around.”

Matty shakily obeyed, his blood rushing in his ears, and his heart pounding. He heard Rob unzip his purse where it hung on the hook over the door and he thanked God that Rob knew where the lube was kept, in his secret side pocket.

“Brace yourself against the wall.”

Matty flattened his palms against the white tiles lining the back of the stall, and leaned forward, gazing down at the toilet and then at his own body. The fall of his black silk shirt blocking the view of his cock and balls. Matty pushed his shirt up and tucked his chin down to hold it in place so he could look down and see his cock trapped and straining there.
Rob’s dick was difficult to take with just a little lube and no preparation at all, but Matty was determined to get fucked, and so he opened up for it, biting his cheek and trying to keep quiet.

“You’re dripping like crazy, sweetheart,” Rob muttered, reaching around to hold onto Matty’s caged dick. It was true his cock was drooling steadily, and seeing Rob’s hand on him only made another pulse of liquid push through the slit at the tip of the cage. “When we get home, I’ll give you some relief.”

Matty shoved back, trying to fit more of Rob’s dick into his ass, and clenched his fists against the wall. “Need. It. Now.”

Rob chuckled and whispered, “I can see that. Feel it, too. So hungry for me.”

Matty squirmed and then whimpered when he managed to get pressure where he needed it. His prostate felt swollen and so sensitive that the pressure from Rob’s cock was enough to make Matty feel on the edge of losing his mind, or his load, and he didn’t even know how since his cock was still trapped and aching. Rob gripped his hips and fucked into him with precision, nailing Matty’s prostate, making him quake and scrabble at the bathroom wall.

“Holy fuck, I’m gonna be loud,” Matty warned, and Rob put a hand over his mouth, and another held onto Matty’s hips. Matty could feel strings of pre-come from his dick slick and strange on his thighs as it drooled out of him in massive quantities. He closed his eyes and tried to reach for some sort of apex, something that would keep his desperation in control long enough to finish dinner and get home.

Rob whispered and grunted behind him, praising his tightness, his fit, the way they slid together, and Matty tried to grab onto each word and hold onto it, bolster his arousal, and ride into some sort of climax—any climax at all, something that would break and roll over him, something that would calm and quiet him.

Matty grunted as Rob lifted him and aimed hard thrusts into his ass. He licked Rob’s fingers, tasting the salt of his skin, and focused his attention on his ass, and he worked it, clinging to Rob’s cock, squeezing and clenching, and then his attention shifted to his nipples, tingling and taut in the cool bathroom, and chills broke over him as Rob slid his hand up from Matty’s hip and pinched one.

“Come,” Rob said, letting go of Matty’s mouth. “Come for me. I want to see jizz running out of that cock cage, understand?”

“I can’t, I can’t.” Matty threw himself back on Rob’s plunging cock. “Help me. Please. Fuck, I need something. Just…God!” He felt hot tears trailing down his face and he realized he was actually sobbing in desperation. Everything  was too intense, so good it hurt, but still not close enough, and he just couldn’t come.

Rob let go of Matty’s nipple and with both hands he gripped Matty’s hips, slamming into him hard, and fast, until Matty was pressed up against the wall, and Rob’s knees were straddling the toilet. Matty pushed back for more, and then there was a hard, almost painful grip in the root of his trapped cock, and he seized all over. A lesser-pleasure glanced through him, not nearly as deep as when Rob had nearly-fisted him, and only a quarter as satisfying. But sudden clarity descended as Matty looked down to see white come sliding out of his cock cage and dripping down his thighs.

It hadn’t been a prostate orgasm, or a true orgasm of any kind, really. He’d barely felt the release, but evidence showed that he’d come all right. He’d shot some seed and his balls ached a little less. The throbbing pulse in his cock receded as his flesh lost its turgor, and the cage became bearable again.

Rob buried his groan in Matty’s hair, and went still behind him, his cock pulsing in Matty’s ass. “Fuck,” he muttered and pulled out, shoving the back of Matty’s shirt up and coming on his back.

“Thank you,” Matty breathed shakily. “Thank you, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, thank you.”

“Shh.” Rob kissed his shoulder and the back of his neck with wet, sticky lips. “You okay now?”

“I think? Maybe. For a little while. But we have to get out of here. I’m going insane. I think I’m losing my fucking mind.”

Rob kissed his neck again. “Okay, just hold still. I’ll clean you up. We’ll say you’re not feeling well and go home. And then we’re going to talk about this.” He reached around and touched the cage. “Understand?”

Matt nodded. He kept his eyes on the tile floor, counting the black dots, as Rob cleaned up his back and ass, and then he quickly got his leggings back up. Rob held the bathroom stall door open and Matty stopped by the sinks to splash water on his face. His eyes were dark and wild, and his cheeks red. He looked like he’d just been fucked raw against a bathroom wall. No amount of splashing water on his face was going to change that.

“Rob? They’re going to know.”

Rob paused in washing his hands and looked over at Matty, after a quick appraisal, he agreed. “Meet me outside. I’ll make an excuse.”

“Did I ruin dinner?”

“No. Don’t worry. I can handle it.” His eyes looked sad, though, and Matty’s gut clenched.

Cover Designer: Robert Barrett

A Masterpiece of Our Love #1
Summary:
The first in a contemporary romance with mystery elements trilogy! WARNING: Please note: This is a trilogy that follows the same characters. There is a mild cliffhanger in this book, as a mystery element is not solved in this story. 

Two Lives Torn by tragedy.

Eight-year-old Becca and twelve-year-old Hunter cling to each other and life after surviving a plane crash which stole their families.

Two Souls Seeking Love.

Each year, from the time she was old enough to travel on her own, Becca met up with Hunter on the island that altered their lives forever.

Until he stopped showing.

Her constant. Her link to the past. Gone in the blink of an eye.

Two Lives Bound by Secret.

Suffering more heartbreak, Hunter returns to the one place he's always sought comfort, the island where he and Becca met. It was the place that stole from him, and in the same instance gave to him. He hasn't been back or spoken to Becca in four years.

Though he's sure she must hate him for disappearing, Hunter discovers the girl gone, now a woman in her place. Hunter is determined to prove to Becca he isn't the same twelve-year-old boy of yesteryear.

But someone isn't happy about their reunion...

Strange things begin happening. Letters start showing up in their hotel rooms and at home with cryptic messages.

Two Broken Hearts Heal as One.

With the mystery unsolved, Hunter convinces Becca to spend the remainder of the summer back home with him, both for safety and to give them a chance to discover the adults they've now become.

Will love get a chance to blossom, or will the past come back and tear the masterpiece of their love apart once and for all?


A Masterpiece Unraveled #2
Summary:
As love blossoms, twenty year old secrets threaten it all... 

Becca and Hunter have always tried to make sense of a tragedy, but they never fully asked why. Why were they on the same plane? Where were they going or coming from? Recent events force them to find out everything they can about the plane crash and the events that led them there. 

Becca's always been strong. She's always found a safety net in Hunter, the man who saved her as a child and always stuck by her, giving her reason to go on when no one else gave her a chance. Now she fights to keep her strength going, but her fears begin to get the better of her. The facade she tries to hold up threatens to crack. 

Hunter is learning to fight his demons and put them to rest, but he can't help but worry about Becca and the future they've just begun to build. She's become the withdrawn person he'd been for the past few years and he doesn't know how to help, unless he finds the answers they both are desperate to know. 

They've always battled every storm together, but a new storm could sweep in and blow the foundation right out from under them... 

The second installment of the Masterpiece trilogy is full of twists, turns, and secrets that come unburied... 


A Forever Masterpiece #3

One terrifying night brings consequences....

The final installment of the Masterpiece Trilogy is full of triumph, mystery, romance and so much more. Prepare for the twists and turns as Becca and Hunter make their way to forever.


A Masterpiece of Our Love #1
Hunter followed Becca inside, taking in the sights of her living space. The walls were a plain dull white, but Becca had filled them up with painting after painting, many of which he'd never seen before. Right by the patio door sat a large easel. A beige sectional took up a good amount of space in the living room. "It's so homey. Very you." he said, continuing to look around. Why had he never come to see her home before?

"All these paintings... You know I'm going to have to ask again. Why are you not selling these in a gallery somewhere?"

Becca's cheeks reddened again. She faced him, taking his hands in hers. "You really think I should, don't you?"

"Well of course." He pulled her closer, sliding his arms around her waist. "You just wait. You'll meet people that are going to bow down to your talent. Don't be surprised if you have a few offers. Then when you're world famous, I can say with pride that I knew you back when. That I love the most amazing, talented artist on this planet."

Her eyelashes fluttered and she looked down for a second, then flashed her gaze back to him. "Say that again," she whispered.

"What? That I knew you back when?" His lips curved up in a grin. He knew exactly what she meant, but had to mess with her anyway.

A Masterpiece Unraveled #2
"Becca? What's going on out here?" Hunter ran down the sidewalk toward them.

"This woman nearly knocked me over and when I try to help, she goes psycho on me as if I'm trying to hurt her. I didn't do anything to her, man." The guy took a few steps back.

Hunter knelt beside Becca, checking her over. "Did he try to hurt you?"

"I didn't-" the guy started.

Fresh tears in her eyes, Becca shook her head.

"I don't know. I did bump into him, and when he grabbed me I got scared."

"Come on angel, let's get inside then." Hunter held out his hand and helped get her on her feet.

"Crazies always come out at night. If your girl can't handle the dark don't let her out of your sight," the guy snarled, taking off.

She'd done it again. Panicked when nothing was going on. Practically attacked a guy most likely just trying to help, especially when she was the one who ran into him.

Hunter slid an arm around her shoulders. She limped away, her knee throbbing from hitting the ground. Before they went back inside, he stopped her on the patio by touching her shoulders, keeping her in place. "This isn't good, Bec. You can't-"

She stepped away from him. "I know. I can't keep doing that. You think I don't know this! I don't want to be jumping all over everyone when they're innocent bystanders! I hate losing my mind! I'm afraid I'm going to hurt somebody because I can't stop thinking someone's going to come after me again! I heard voices, talking about scaring someone. Part of me thought they were talking about me. Is that what you want to know? I'm paranoid. There, I said it."

Becca left Hunter standing there in shock as she bolted back indoors.

A Forever Masterpiece #3
Needing to lighten the mood before his heart broke even more, Hunter took Becca's hands in his. He gave her a light, mischievous smile. "You know, I never did get to bring a girl in my room to kiss her." Not at twelve. He hadn't been interested in girls that way, really. Not yet.

Had Becca been in his room when his parents brought her home? Did they bring her here, even for a while? They had to have before bringing her to the Langes. Hunter tried to picture what baby Becca looked like. Had he been curious about a tiny baby all of a sudden in the house? Did they try to keep her hidden, even from their four year old son? So many questions, and not enough answers.

"So what you're saying is you wanted to take an innocent girl up to your room and seduce her," Becca said coyly, fluttering her eyelashes at him. "I don't know. I'm not that kind of girl. You'll have to really work your way to get a kiss from me."

Hunter chuckled, loving that she played along. He pulled her closer, sliding his arms around her waist. "Hard to get, eh? I think I can win you over. I've got the skills."

She tilted her head to the side. "Oh? This I need to see."

He leaned over and kissed her neck, trailing all the way to her jaw. "You know you want to kiss me. I'm one of your painting inspirations." He blew air on the nape of her neck. Her fingers dug into his back. "Come on, give a man his wish. Do I have to beg?"

When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild.

Just before making the cut, Marie spotted a shadow of a little boy out of the corner of her eye. He looked to be six in age and was staring back at her. She immediately closed her eyes hard and tried to push the spirit out of her head. When she opened her eyes, the little boy was gone.

Page 11
Her eyes stared motionless into infinity and bulged while her skin was gray and red streaked. Most of her hair had fallen out and her mouth, lips and tongue were swollen. Found floating face down was the description Chief Cory Miller received during the five a.m. phone call Sunday morning that woke him out of a deep sleep.

Marie dropped to her knees and the decaying room disappeared when she heard Cory and Gale’s voice yelling for her to open her eyes. As she did, she saw everyone staring back at her while her head rested in Cory’s lap. “What happened? And why am I on the floor?”

The brilliant moon created a glow through the trees upon the marble altar. He stood at the end of the altar between her thighs and held the dagger in his hands raising it up toward the sky catching the reflection of the moon onto her breast. Carefully he whispered his praise and sacrifice for Beelzebub and set the dagger down between her parted thighs as the golden inverted pentagram swung from the chain around his neck.

There was a thud of an outside door opening and Kelly immediately decided to play possum as she quickly got back into her original position and closed her eyes. If nothing else, she may be able to fool them into thinking she was still unconscious and catch them in an unguarded conversation. As she heard the inner door open she tried to slow down her breathing and hoped they didn’t hear her heart pounding out of her chest.

“Speak to me in English demon and yes I know this will work. Go away, Seducer! The desert is your home. The serpent is your dwelling. Be humiliated and cast down, for even though you have deceived men, you cannot make a mockery of God. He has prepared Hell for you and your angels.”

The ocean waves pounded out a rhythm that soothed your soul as its spray danced in the air with the seagulls. Crystal-like sands glistened in the sun as the sea slowly melted away the shore. With each ripple of water the sand eroded away the remains of the coffins revealing headless skeletons facing west. Tiny sand crabs scurried in and out of the chest cavities and nibbled on century old plankton and bacteria. The smell of decay mixed with salt gave out a sulfur-like odor even too putrid for the beach animals to ignore, while the sound of a sword sliced through the air. . .

He stopped his wagon at the edge of the smelly green dumpster and dragged a concrete block that was lying on the other side of the lot to the edge of the bin. He stepped up on the block and shoved the lid up on the top and winced at the pungent stench emanating from inside. He carefully gripped the first plastic bag and heaved it inside and grabbed the frame to keep from losing his balance. As he bent down to grab the next bag he noticed his hands were covered in a red sticky substance.

He wiped them off on the bag, but his curiosity got the best of him as he placed both hands on the frame of the dumpster and slowly pulled himself up to look inside. There staring back at him were maggot filled eye sockets and what appeared to be the remains of a head.
