It`s time for Tuesday
Tales.
Welcome back! “Hug” is our word this week. Today
I’m sharing a snippet from First Season,
the second Harrisburg Railers book. I’m coauthoring this M/M hockey romance
series with Rj Scott and am thrilled to be able to share excerpts with the
Tuesday Tales readers!
In today’s post, we get
to spend some time with Adler as he does a bit of shopping.
This story may have gay
erotic scenes, strong social issues addressed and mature language. If those
things offend now is the time to move onto another Tuesday Tales blog. Thanks
for stopping by!
Sitting at a red light, Winger on the stereo, I
mulled over how the three main players in this press event had to be feeling.
Tennant and Jared were probably hot, nervous messes. Layton too, I wager. He
was kind of high-strung anyway. The man needed a hug. I glanced to the right and saw a small boutique. Classy by the
looks. Maybe I should grab them all a little something. I checked my Rolex.
Plenty of time. Flipping the turn signal on I slid out of traffic and parked.
The inside of the tiny shop was nice. It was a
high-end gift shop with some jewelry. Hand-crafted according to the filigreed
signs. Inside the glass were some quality men’s gifts. I settled on cuff links
for Rowe and Madsen. Matching silver ones, square, classic, and simple. They
fit the men, or so I felt.
Layton would be trickier. None of the jewelry
felt like him. I meandered around, checking things out: pretty trinkets and
little wooden boxes for earrings or bangles. Silken scarves, frilly shawls,
brightly-colored ties. Then I found a box holding a silk handkerchief. It was
eggshell white with vibrant rainbow thread handstitched around the scalloped
edges. Folded and tucked into the pocket of one of his tailored suits, it would
the perfect accessory for a hot, professional gay man.
Ten minutes later I was back in my car,
Winger’s “Can’t Get Enuff” vibrating out of the speakers, my gifts lying on the
passenger seat.

Well done. I always like getting unexpected gifts, especially when someone takes the time to pick the perfect thing.
Great detailed description. I like how the perfect gifts were sought.
He puts so much thought into the gifts. I love this character. I can't wait to read more of him!
Love a guy buying gifts for the guys.
Thank you all so much for visiting and commenting!
Big sigh... I just adore reading your snippets.
