Welcome the owner of Marketing For Romance Writers, Kayelle Allen! She’s here with her new release – and a little something extra.

Take it away, Kayelle!

I
love reading the M/M (male/male) genre, and always thought two guys together
were sexy. I’ve written four gay romances and have one more coming in April. I also
wrote two heterosexual romances. My sole audio book is mainstream fantasy.

My
books are Science Fiction Romance, so my newest release is somewhat of a
departure for me. It’s contemporary. I have another contemporary coming later
this year.

No
matter what the genre, I believe sex is fun as well as romantic. Characters in
my books might engage in the act while being very serious and hell bent on
seduction, or while laughing. The story in this anthology has both humor and
serious moments.

Fifty
Gays of Shade is my first anthology. It’s set in Shady Business, a gay BDSM
club. Each story might have a cameo appearance by Grey Shade, who owns the
club. After that, all the tales differ. We had a layout of the club, and a
description of Shade. The rest was up to us.

Erik
has been away for some time, but was a friend of the owner, and is now back.
Grey sets him up with a brand new member of the club. Here’s an excerpt.

Excerpt
from Bill Me, by Kayelle Allen

“Is
that you, Erik?”

I
turned to see who had used my name so freely in one of the country’s premier BDSM
clubs, and found the club’s owner walking toward me. “Hello, Shade.” I
accepted his firm handshake. “Long time no see. You look fit as always.”
The man wore a black leather hat, black zipped leather shorts, boots, and had a
chain wrapped around one wrist.

“I
could say the same.” He raked his gaze down me. “Damn, man. Where the
hell have you been? I heard you relocated again.”

I
shrugged. “You know me. Never could settle anywhere.”

“Let’s
grab a drink.” Shade led me deeper into the club, away from the noisy stage
and DJ.

We
passed the elevator, and sidestepped around a laughing couple exiting the bathroom.
From their tousled appearance, it took little imagination to guess what they’d been
doing in there. Had house rules changed? Shade rubbed a spot between his brows and
pretended not to notice. He continued through reception, and used a keycard to open
a passageway to his office and the play room area.

Gesturing
between the two, he quirked his brows, giving me a choice of location. I opted for
the privacy of his office, and he opened the door.

Little
had changed here, other than a few additional awards on the wall. I sat in the leather
chair opposite his desk. He flipped open a cabinet and withdrew a bottle of whiskey
and two glasses, handing me one. Shade surprised me by dropping into the chair next
to mine. He poured generously, set down the bottle, and leaned back.

“You
want to tell me what’s up?” He gazed at me over the rim of the glass while
he sipped.

I
swirled the whiskey, gave it a sniff, and smiled over at him. “What do you
mean?”

He
pulled a face. “We going to play a head game or are you going to tell me what
brings you here — wearing a three piece suit– after fifteen months away?”

“Fifteen
months? What, were you counting the days?”

“You
were here for my birthday party for the past five years, and then missed it last
year. I happen to know yours is in three days. We always celebrated together when
you were in town. So yeah, I know the number of days.” He downed the rest of
his drink, set aside the glass, and folded his arms across his beefy chest. “What’s
with the suit?”

“In
town on business.” I hesitated, but remembered this was Shade I was talking
to, and sighed. “Corey moved out six weeks ago.”

“No
shit? You okay?”

“Yeah.
Now.”

Shade
shook his head. “I’m sorry, Erik. You here to get back in the saddle?”

I
took a slug of the whiskey, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and then finished
it. “Figured it’s time.”

He
sat forward. “Looking for the same type?”

“Hell,
no. Older. He was twenty when we met. I need someone a little less…” While
I struggled for the best description, Shade supplied an apt one.

“Full
of shit?”

We
both laughed. He poured me another drink. The sound of the liquid sloshing into
the glass filled the silence in my head.

“Yeah.
That’d work.” I sipped.

“We’ve
got some new talent. You walk in wearing that suit, and they’ll be licking your
shoes.”

I
polished off the drink, and refused another. “Not really what I want licked
tonight.”
