Susan Mac Nicol - Cross To Bare 4

Cross to Bare

(Men of London 05)
by

Susan Mac Nicol

Tough in business but romantic at heart, fashion designer Lenny James isn’t hiding his masculinity behind his super successful female alter ego, but a vulnerability that only handsome financier Brook Hunter will be man enough to reveal…and worship.

TWO OF A KIND

It’s amazing what a little mascara and lipstick, a blonde wig, false boobs, and top-notch female fashion can hide. Not that Lenny James is hiding his masculinity. He uses his normal voice when he’s Laverne, and he’s not particularly camp as a man. His reasons for creating his alter ego are locked deep in his past. He is who he is: tough in business, and a romantic at heart. What he’s hiding is vulnerability. He wants a man to accept both sides of him.

Gorgeous, commanding, and dark as sin, Brook Hunter meets Lenny and knows nothing about Laverne until fate pushes her into his path. Cross-dressing is as far from Brook’s reality as fashion is from his world of diplomacy and high finance. Understanding and truth take time, and trust doesn’t come easy. But Brook is about to show Lenny that there are no sides to true love, just the place where they meet in the middle.

Excerpt

Brook smiled. “The chemistry is still there, though. No doubt about that.” His brows furrowed. “And if I remember from our last window encounter, you promised to return the favour,” he murmured as he reached out and removed the glass from Lenny’s hands. He put the whisky down on the table by the window then dipped his finger in the cool liquid. Brook’s finger came up, and he slid it across Lenny’s bottom lip, slowly. He thought he was going to shoot in his pants with the eroticism of that gesture. The whisky flavour burned into his lips and he slid his tongue out and sucked the finger caressing his mouth. Brook’s eyes widened in lust, the pupils expanding. His lips parted and Lenny wanted to thrust his tongue and his cock inside the hot, wet heat of that mouth.

“Let’s get this over with, shall we, because obviously neither of us can wait,” Brook whispered, as his tongue slid into Lenny’s ear. His hands slid under the red jacket, tugging the shirt from his trousers, and then caressing the heated skin beneath. “Otherwise we’ll not enjoy my wonderful Chicken Cacciatore that I slaved over all day. Let’s fuck first, talk later.”

Lenny agreed wholeheartedly. With a low moan, he mashed his mouth against Brook’s and took possession of it. Familiar and wanton in return, Brook’s questing tongue slid into Lenny’s mouth. The slippery sensation of that deliciously heated organ, currently on a quest to drive him crazy, took him back to those passion fuelled days when he and Brook had been together. The feel of strong fingers against Lenny’s skin and the heat of that body pressed against his – it was if they’d never been apart. Lenny wasn’t one for insta-love but insta-lust he could definitely understand.

“I’d forgotten how damn good you taste and feel,” Brook gasped as his hands fumbled with buttons, opening Lenny’s trousers. He cried out as Brook’s hand slid inside his silk boxers and slid fingers down his hardened and wet cock. “This – this is what I want, you inside me.”

That phrase made Lenny thrust his cock harder into the tight confines of Brook’s hand.

 “You keep saying that and I won’t have anything to fuck you with because you’ll make me come,” he managed to get out. “Turn around, face the glass.” He didn’t wait for Brook to obey, simply spun him round hard and slammed him against the cold, silken wall. “You’d better hope this is one way glass, because otherwise your neighbours are going to see you being royally skewered this time.” Lenny kicked off his trousers and underwear, giving a sigh of relief as his cock sprung free.

About Susan


Susan Mac Nicol Author PicSusan Mac Nicol is a self confessed bookaholic, an avid watcher of videos of sexy pole dancing men, geek, nerd and in love with her Smartphone. This little treasure is called ‘the boyfriend’ by her long suffering husband, who says if it vibrated, there’d be no need for him. Susan hasn’t had the heart to tell him there’s an app for that…

She is never happier than when sitting in the confines of her living room/study/on a cold station platform scribbling down words and making two men fall in love. She is a romantic at heart and believes that everything happens (for the most part) for a reason.  She likes to think of herself as a ‘half full’ kinda gal, although sometimes that philosophy is sorely tested.

Lover of walks in the forest, theatre productions, dabbling her toes in the cold North Sea and the vibrant city of London where you can experience all four seasons in a day , she is a hater of pantomime (so please don’t tar and feather her), duplicitous people, bigotry and self righteous idiots.

In an ideal world, Susan Mac Nicol would be Queen of England and banish all the bad people to the Never Never Lands of Wherever -Who Cares. As that’s never going to happen, she contents herself with writing her HEA stories and pretending, that just for a little while, good things happen to good people.

Review: Lenny James is confident and successful in both his personal life as Lenny, and his professional life as high-profile Designer Laverne Debussy-Smith. The one thing that still eludes him is someone to love him and her, both Lenny and Laverne.

When Lenny was in college he decided to dive head first into his passion to design clothes by not only making clothes for men and women, but wearing them as well. Now Laverne is just as much a part of him as Lenny is. No one seems to want the job of juggling their passion for both personas though.

Brook Hunter was an almost boyfriend that Lenny decided to kick to the curb over a comment that he read too much into. Brook as well is talented and successful, as well as tall, dark and oh so handsome.

When Brook accidentally learns the truth about Lenny and Laverne, the designer thinks Brook will duck and run, unable to handle the commitment to them both. But Brook surprises Lenny in more ways than one, and he won’t be tossed aside so easily, even if his feathers are ruffled by Lenny assuming he would be daft enough to walk away.

The relationship between Brook, Lenny and Laverne had its share of ups and downs, both men saying or doing things in the heat of the moment that they regret when having a clearer head. But neither one is willing to throw in the towel. I think it was the determination from both men that really gave this story credence for me.

There was a struggle for Brook early on, not to accept Laverne per say, but to accept the danger he perceived Lenny was putting himself in when he went out as Laverne. This caused some issues and misunderstandings, but like most adults would do, they talked about it, they worked it out together. I really, really loved that aspect of the story, the communication that rivaled only the passion that these two shared.

If you are a fan of this series or the author, then this is a no-brainer for you, of course you’ll enjoy it. There is passion and a super fun stage appearance by Laverne, there is a bit of danger as well, but there is zero angst which, in my humble opinion, makes this a must read.

I’m very excited for book 6 now, someone please tell Susan Mac Nicol to write just a skoch bit faster please!
