Contents/Description:

Sway by Lyn. Excerpt: Blair was gloriously, unashamedly naked. His hair shone with tones of burnished copper, fanned about his shoulders, his skin looked golden in the reflected glow from the fire. His sturdy, muscular body danced a slow rhythm to the music, setting a fire within Jim. Blair’s eyes were closed and he seemed to not be aware of Jim’s presence.  (NOTE: This story was previously published in My Mongoose E-zine.)

The Journey by Marion. Excerpt: As he traveled, his body guided by primitive instinct, he became aware of a ‘presence’ to the right of him, never venturing any closer, but always keeping up, keeping just behind him. Jim guessed he’d ventured into someone’s territory and a scout was keeping tabs on the intruder – checking out his intentions, assessing any threat. It didn’t bother Jim. Nothing would distract him from his mission.

Relaxation Techniques by Lyn. Excerpt: Shifting so that he stood directly behind his partner, Blair raised his hands and rested them on Jim’s broad shoulders. Man, the guy was tense. Wound tighter than a spring. With sure hands, Blair began to knead the knotted muscles, coaxing them into relaxing. (NOTE: This story was previously published in My Mongoose E-zine.)

Whispers of the Heart by Natalie L. Excerpt: Back around Christmas, nearly a year and a half ago, he’d had an encounter with an angel. He didn’t know it then, but he believed it now. Gabe had told him, “What good does it do for a man to have ears that will hear a thousand miles, if he cannot listen to the whispers of his own heart?” As Blair prepared to head off for the police academy, Jim was finally listening to the whispers.

At the End of the Day – 1 by Lyn. Excerpt: I turn my head and bury my nose in Blair’s curls. I take in a slow deep breath, and allow the scent of his herbal shampoo to waft in. My hand moves up and captures strands of hair, allowing the shiny locks to glide through my fingers like silk.

Don’t Want to Lose You by Annie. Excerpt: I reached out with a shaky hand and felt for a pulse, almost falling in a heap as I felt it beneath my fingertips. “Hang on, Jim,” I murmured, taking one still hand in mine. “You’ll be okay. I don’t want to lose you now, man. Just hang on, okay?”

At the End of the Day – 2 by Lyn. Excerpt: I’m bored… and wide awake. Jim’s snoring softly beside me, which only makes me more depressed. Nothing worse than having someone lying right next to you, enjoying a peaceful slumber while you struggle in Morpheus’ arms. I barely made it up the stairs under my own steam but once my head hit the pillow, that was it. I haven’t slept at all and it’s now… I turn my head and squint at the alarm clock… three AM.

New Beginnings by KAM. Excerpt: Jim looked at Blair and could almost believe the press conference and the whole dissertation fiasco hadn’t happened. It was just like a normal day from before, with Jim heading out to the station and Blair heading out to the university. If only… Jim shook his head, forcibly pushing those thoughts away.  Thinking like that didn’t help anyone. “Let’s go.”  (WARNING: Mpreg.
