Aubergine Publishing Presents... Square One by JJ Harper



SQUARE ONE
The final story in the Under the Uniform Series




Xander is angry and fed up with being signed off work for something that was out of his control. He loses himself in alcohol and one-night stands, anything to dull the pain in his head.

Jonah is enjoying the freedom away from his small-town life, living life to the full in a big city. A few weeks away from starting his job as a firefighter, he embraces the nightlife and the men found in the clubs. One man, in particular, catches his eye, and not even exchanging names, they spend a night lost in each other, and then another. Still not bothering to find out any more about each other, they go their separate ways.

Until they find themselves face-to-face at work.

Unable to stay away from each other, they embark on something that soon morphs into so much more. Deeper, more intense, looking at lot like love.

But will it be enough when Jonah hears some life-changing news and he turns to Xander for support?





It’s been two months since Xander and I got together. Although we haven’t said we’re boyfriends, we are definitely more than friends. Looking in the mirror, I smooth out the button-down shirt, then attempt to sort out the riot that is my hair. It’s decided to stick out in every direction. In the end, I give up. Maybe messy curls will become fashionable.

I hear a car horn beep and know that Xander is here. The butterflies in my stomach stir and flutter awake. We’ve had a five-day rest period from work, and he took the chance to go to see his parents and sister. It seemed more of a duty call as his mum had been pestering him for a visit. I haven’t given my folks the chance to guilt me. I call every week, letting them know how busy I am.

The doorbell rings, making me smile. Xander must be as eager to see me as I am him. I race down the stairs to open the door. We both gaze at each other before smiling.

“Come here, you.” I grab his hand and pull him inside and up against me. “I’ve missed you,” I murmur as my lips press up to his.

“Mmm, me too.” He presses harder, then lets his tongue slip over the seam of my lips, asking for entry.

I can taste the faint mint of his toothpaste, but it’s the full flavour of him that has me moaning. My hands move to grip his hips, letting our groins bump together. I can feel his dick swell as I deepen the kiss.

Breaking away, he sighs and licks over his bottom lip. “We need to go before I drag you upstairs.”

“I know. Maybe we should’ve left dinner for tomorrow night.” I rest my forehead on his.

“C’mon, we don’t have to be there long.” Xander kisses me softly before stepping back.

I grab my keys, and we head out. The Indian restaurant is busy, but we are quickly shown to our table. After ordering a beer each, we sit.

“How was it? Your parents okay?” I reach over to touch his hand, loving it when he turns it over to hold mine.

“Yeah, they were happy to see me. My sister came over with her kids, making it crazy but fun. It’s great to spend time with my nephew and niece.”

By the time we have finished eating, I’m ready to get him back to my place and naked. Our feet have been tangled together throughout the meal while Xander’s eyes have become darker, boring into mine, making me hornier than ever.

“Let’s go, baby.” Xander stands and holds out his hand.

The ride home is quiet. My fingers trace the seam of Xander’s jeans on the inside of his thigh. The tension is high. I see him chew on the corner of his lip as he holds himself together. The minute we get inside, all bets are off, and he can have me any way he wants.

As soon as the door is shut, Xander drags me up the stairs to my room.

Aubergine Publishing Presents... Long Tall Texan by L J Harris



Alec Peters is a man with his whole life ahead of him. Embarking on a weekend getaway to celebrate his twenty-first birthday, he walks through the doors of the most renowned gay strip club in Orlando with nothing more on his mind than having a good time with his two closest friends. What he gets is an eyeful of erotic dancers, and plenty of them, one in particular making his coming of age one he’ll not soon forget.

Jay Alverson, a small-town Southern boy born with good looks and a natural ability to move, spends his time raking in the big bucks as a stripper and living in the moment whenever he can. After he and his friends agree to perform at Roosters, his boss’s newest club, he falls victim to a tangled game of matchmaker. What he can’t predict is how the dark-haired beauty he’s been set up with may be the one to change his life for good.






Black leather thong greeting my eyes, in that moment, I felt like pushing everyone out of the way and throwing myself on that stage. It was unfortunate I was claustrophobic, so instead, I watched from afar, admiring his form as he enthralled the men before him. He crouched on the table. The crowd parted long enough for me to see him tug on the rope and bring the heavy tipper up close, then peck him on the lips as his friend shoved the man’s huge wad of cash down the cowboy’s thong.
After he returned to the stage, I moaned as I took in his beauty. Body covered in oil, his sun-kissed skin encased a set of broad shoulders, perfect pecs, and abs I wanted to lick. A small tattoo with text I couldn't make out graced his left hip. All that led to a golden-white pleasure trail that the bills sticking out of the black leather managed to cover, encasing the thickness of his impressive cock. I'd never wanted to be a piece of leather more than I did at that moment. Mouth open like a stranded guppy, I watched him move wearing nothing but his hat and mask, that thong and those sexy as hell boots. I swallowed hard, trying my best not to drool in public as he shimmied and shook his ass like a pro. When the soaring vocals of Ciara kicked in as she sang “Ride" my world stopped.
He saw me.
He saw me, and though he continued to dance, sure as ever, his moves faltered for a split second.
Huh, so this perfect specimen of a man is human after all….
The urge to rescue him nullifying my initial shock, I waved the cash around, then moved forward with a confidence I’d not known before. The sensation of his eyes following me as I arced around the perimeter of the crowd until I was standing by the far side of the stage, well away from the throng of men, brought forth an all-encompassing shudder.
“Come here,” I mouthed, crooking a finger to beckon him to me. Hesitating for a heartbeat, he drew in a large breath, then bit his lip before moving closer.
