Thank You…


Thank you to all the soldiers who have served and who are serving now.

Stop Back later…

Sorry, everyone. Really busy for a while this morning. I’ll be posting Death or Life? later than usual today. Please stop back by later on this morning or afternoon. I promise it will be up today. šŸ™‚

Home of His Own- March 25

Great news, everyone. Home of His Own-Tony’s story-will be out next Tuesday, March 25th. LSB is delaying the release of their books a day next week. (In case you were wondering…lol)

Finally, everyone will be able to get a chance to read his story. Which I hope you all love.

Have a great Friday.

Poetry Train.



Will You…

Will you catch me?
If I take one step too close
To the edge,
If I were to fall,
Would you catch me?

Will you be there?
If I make the wrong choice
And turn away,
If I were to need you,
Would you be there?

Will you care?
If I can’t find my way back
From that edge,
If I were to get lost,
Would you care?

Will you hold me?
If I grow cold and my heart
Freezes,
If I were to forget how to care,
Would you hold me?

Will you love me?
If I am convinced that you should
Hate me,
If I believe myself a monster,
Would you love me?

I Want You…

Your hand trails over my hip.
Shivers chase down my spine.
Desire warms me.
I breathe, taking you deeper into me.

Each touch fills a place in my soul.
Each brush of your skin on mine
Pushes me closer to the edge.
I don’t want you to stop.

Your lips caress my neck.
Fingers trace lines over my chest.
Teasing and tasting every part
Of my body you can see.

Each touch fills a place in my soul.
Each brush of your skin on mine
Pushes me closer to the edge.
I don’t want you to stop.

I’ve fallen over the edge.
You hold me close,
Bringing me back to earth
With whispered words and gentle strokes.

The empty bed chills me.
When the door opens
And you leave,
I want you to stop.

Wednesday WiPs


Been an interesting week. Got some writing done. And some reading as well. šŸ™‚

So onto the word count:

Dreaming of Dragons: 3,216/50,000 (1,110 words)

To Hell with the Devil: 13,060/30,000 (1,695 words)

His Heart’s Home: 5,975/50,000 (0 words, but I think I’ll be working the poem I posted on Monday into the story. It makes a good song.)

Gives me a total of 2,805 words. Pretty good for the start of the new year. šŸ™‚

Hope you all have a great day.

I hate Winter….

due to yet another cold that I’ve managed to catch, the next installment will be late. Depending on when I drag my butt back out of bed, it might not be up until tomorrow.

Sorry and I hope everyone is happy and healthy. šŸ™‚

Where the Devil Dances

Where the Devil Dances copyright (c) 2007 T.A. Chase

Part Ninteen–

Eric settled into the space between David’s legs. David leaned against a tree and provided the perfect object to rest against for Eric. Muscled arms wrapped around Eric’s waist and he laid his head on David’s chest. He listened to the steady beat of David’s heart. The thumping reassured him.


He didn’t tense when David’s hands made their way under his shirt to stroke along his skin. The touch was soft enough not to bother his scars, though lately Eric hadn’t been in as much pain. The doctors told him as the years went by, his nerves would heal to the point where he wouldn’t be in pain all the time.


ā€œIs this okay?ā€ David’s question brushed over his ear.


He nodded. ā€œPerfect.ā€


The dogs chased each other around the park. They jumped and rolled, barking and growling. Eric laughed when Raoul dragged over a stick that was bigger than his dog. He grabbed it and broke it in half before throwing it as far as he could without getting up. Raoul and Buster chased after it.


ā€œHow long have you had Raoul?ā€ David stroked a rough hand over Eric’s arm.


Eric shivered. The cotton fabric of his shirt caressed his skin and the sensation zinged through him. He thought about David’s question. ā€œAbout two years. My friend, Tina, gave him to me shortly after I was released from the hospital. She said looking after Raoul would give me something else to focus on. He’s been good therapy. We go for walks every day. He makes sure I don’t become a hermit.ā€


ā€œI got Buster for the same reason. My job is so crazy. I could go days without getting outside to enjoy what the world looks like. I’ve been lucky. Teresa takes him when I’m working several days in a row. Timmy likes playing with him.ā€ David nuzzled into Eric’s hair.


ā€œI always wanted a dog, but I’d lived in apartments before now, so I didn’t want to leave a dog cooped up in there while I was working. Right before my injuries, I was going to buy a house and was considering getting a pet. My lover at the time didn’t mind dogs. We were going out to look at potential pets at the humane society the day of the fire.ā€


Eric waited for the tension to return when he mentioned the fire, but David’s arms around him made him feel safe. Maybe he could talk about it without having a panic attack.


ā€œYour lover? You’re not still together because I can’t see anyone letting you go once they had you.ā€ David pressed a kiss on the sensitive spot behind Eric’s ear.


Eric turned to wrap his arms around David and buried his face in the crook where David’s neck and shoulder met. ā€œNo. He died in the fire.ā€


Their embrace tightened as David held him close for a few minutes, whispering ā€˜sorry’ over and over. Tears pricked Eric’s eyes. When he’d finally been free of the drugs the doctors had pumped into him to numb the pain, Eric had cried for days. He’d loved Winston and had been ready to be with him forever, but fate stepped in and took Win away.


ā€œWe attended Mass. Winston was Catholic and loved the rituals of the Church. I went because it made him happy. He wanted to talk to the priest after the service. Father Mitchell was a good man.ā€ Eric sighed, closing his eyes and snuggled closer to David’s warmth. ā€œI stayed in the sanctuary and drew. I took my sketch pad with me everywhere in those days. I loved the stain glass windows in the church. I was trying to draw them. I didn’t notice the smoke or anything until it was too late for Winston and Father Mitchell.ā€


David began to rock him, holding him securely in unwavering arms. Eric realized David knew what happened to the other two men. Being a firefighter, David had probably seen burn victims and fatalities before.


ā€œI stood up.ā€ Eric shrugged. ā€œI’m not sure what I was going to do. The fire was fully engaged by that point and there was nothing I could do except leave.ā€


He shuddered, remembering the moment before his memory went blank. That was the worse part. He didn’t know if he had seen the arsonist or not. He’d heard him and that insanity-tinged voice haunted his nightmares.


ā€œSomething hit me in the head and as I was falling, I heard a voice say ā€˜the fire will cleanse you of his touch.’ Then everything went black until I woke up. I don’t know how long I was unconscious. I just know the fire burning my clothes drove me from the darkness.ā€


ā€œHush, Eric.ā€ David smoothed his hands up and down Eric’s back. ā€œNo more.ā€


He pulled back. ā€œBut I want to tell you.ā€


David shook his head. ā€œNo more today. You can tell me the rest later.ā€


Eric threaded his fingers in the short curls at the base of David’s neck and tugged the man to him. The kiss started out gentle, but soon morphed into a passionate demand. Eric wanted David to drive the memories of that day out of his head. To fill those dark spots with bright moments.


Their tongues stroked and dueled as Eric twisted to straddle David’s lap. David’s large hands cupped Eric’s ass and squeezed. Eric rocked, pushing their groins together. His cock rubbed against fabric and a sound of frustration growled from his throat. He wanted more.


Laughter rumbled in David’s chest. Eric felt his lover’s hands on the button of his jeans. He sucked in his stomach to give David more room. He gasped into David’s mouth when the heat of his jeans was replaced by the even hotter grasp of David’s hand.


David pumped and Eric arched his hips, throwing his head back. Nibbling along the long column of Eric’s throat, David encouraged him to move.


ā€œCome, baby,ā€ David murmured against Eric’s skin.


Eric held David’s shoulders tight as he fucked the callused hand holding his shaft. His body tingled all over and there was no thought that they were out in a public park, doing something that could get them arrested. The only thought was to achieve his climax as fast as possible.
David’s other hand slid around to push down the back of Eric’s jeans and tease the top of Eric’s crease.


ā€œAh.ā€ Eric couldn’t get his mouth to form any word.


ā€œI can smell you. Please, Eric. I want to see you come.ā€


The words whispered hotly against the base of his throat drove him over the edge. His balls drew tight to his body as he emptied his cum over David’s hand.


ā€œDavid,ā€ he groaned and collapsed onto the hard body beneath him.


ā€œBeautiful.ā€


He drifted while David cleaned them off and tucked him back in his jeans. He was lifted off David’s lap and laid back on the blanket they’d been sitting on. Another blanket was draped over him. A kiss brushed his temple.


ā€œSleep, baby.ā€


His eyes closed and he sighed. His body relaxed and his mind was blank. No memories to haunt him. Replacing pain with pleasure seemed like the perfect plan.
