No Fear
No Shame Series Book 3
Nora Phoenix
Release date: December 27, 2017
BLURB
Aaron is
drowning. After coming out as gay, he lost his parents’ approval, his job, and
his sense of identity. He feels like a freak who doesn’t fit in anywhere. His
last hope was his brother Josh, but Josh can’t seem to forgive him for how
Aaron treated him when they were teens. Not that Aaron can blame him, because
he did treat Josh like crap.
All Aaron
wants is for someone to accept him, guide him, because he doesn’t have a clue.
When sexy jiujitsu teacher Blake takes him in and starts mentoring him, Aaron
has hope for the first time, even though he can’t understand what Blake sees in
him.
Blake doesn’t
do relationships. At all. He’s more than willing to help Aaron find solid
ground under his feet, but that’s it. Until insecure, vulnerable, and
surprisingly sexy Aaron gets under his skin, triggering all kinds of protective
instincts that make Blake long for more. He wants to take care of Aaron, give
him what he needs, but how can he convince Aaron of that?
When Josh’s
friend-with-benefits Indy’s past finally catches up with him, it endangers them
all—and leads to heartbreaking decisions for everyone involved.
No Fear is a
steamy M/M romance that ends with a HFN for Aaron and Blake, but has a
continuing storyline as well. It’s the third book in the No Shame Series, and
is not a stand alone novel, so make sure to read the first book (No Filter) and
the second book (No Limits) first. It contains hot sex, a little kink, more hot
sex, very mild puppy play, and a beautiful friendship-with-benefits that
transcends labels. Also: trigger warning for mentions of sexual abuse.
EXCERPT
“You can start
with plain vanilla sex, work your way up to the kinky stuff,” Blake said with a
laugh.
“You make it
sound boring,” Aaron complained.
Blake sobered.
“No, and I’m sorry for teasing you a bit. You set the pace, Aaron. If you’re
not ready for sex, you wait. If you are, you find someone who will respect you
enough to take it slow, okay?”
Aaron reached
out for his hand and held it tight. “Will you do it?” he asked.
Blake’s heart
jumped in his chest. Was Aaron asking what he thought he was? “What do you
mean?” He needed to be certain.
“I want you to
be my first.”
He looked so
cute and pretty and sexy, still in that gorgeous top and the tight jeans. But
his words were cute and pretty, too, like a schoolgirl on prom night. Blake
needed to manage expectations. “Aaron, I don’t do relationships. I like you, I
really do, but don’t read more into this. I don’t date or hold hands or do
romantic dinners.”
“That’s okay.
I don’t need that. What I need is a safe place to gain some experience. You
said it yourself, I need someone who respects me enough to take it slow. I want
my first time to be good. I trust you. Please, Blake?”
Blake couldn’t
help himself. He pulled Aaron close and brought their mouths together. At
first, Aaron kept his mouth closed. Blake increased the pressure, licked his
lips and pushed with his tongue until Aaron let him in. He angled his head a
bit more, dove in deep. Aaron’s movements were slow, insecure, but he wound his
arms around Blake’s neck and held on.
His mouth was
sweet, hot. Blake tasted the peppermint Aaron so often suckled on, those
white-and-red-striped ones. He teased Aaron’s tongue with his, until it
responded, until they were doing a slick dance of push and pull. He was a fast
learner, copying Blake’s moves at first, then coming up with a few of his own.
He was
everything Blake usually avoided. Inexperienced, vulnerable, insecure. Yet
kissing him did something to Blake’s body that he didn’t recognize. It
triggered a hunger in him, a fierce need to possess, to own.
His hands
lowered till they reached Aaron’s ass. He put one hand on each butt cheek,
pulled Aaron close to him and ground his hips into him. The kid was hard again,
and he himself had barely been soft since they had gotten into the dressing
room. What was Aaron doing to him?
He broke off
the kiss, swore softly at the sight of Aaron’s dazed look, his swollen lips.
Fuck, Blake didn’t want to stop, not even close. He kissed him once more, the
gentlest of kisses. “Not here. Not now.”
Aaron blinked.
“But you’ll do it?”
“Tomorrow. I
want you to have time to think about this, sleep on it. If tomorrow in the cold
light of day you decide this is what you want, I’m your man.”
About the Author
When she was a
little tot, Nora’s mom got a library subscription for her. That, as they say,
was that, and a lifelong love for books was born. Nora never stopped reading
and doesn’t exaggerate when she says she devours books, rather than plain reads
them. She started writing stories as soon as she could hold a pen, and wrote
her first full book as a teen (on a typewriter!). It took her waaaay too long
to follow her dream to become a romance author.
Nora writes
M/M romance, because hello, sexy boys, and likes her men flawed, strong, and a
tad broken. She appreciates a little kink, but insists on a happy ever after.
