Moonlit Escapades
Bronwyn Heeley
There is never a time when a visit from old friends isn’t comforting.
Ever wonder how Jex and Matt ended up in that compromising position in book 4? Or what the fight between Phil and Craig was about? Or how about how they all became so close and ended up living together?
Well, here’s your chance. All the missing pieces that were linked but not fully explained are bundled together in this heart-warming anthology, and just in time for Christmas, because who doesn’t like to visit from family at this time of year.
Note: series must be read in order, but these shorts can be read separately, they’ll just be enjoyed more as companions.

I thought that instead of doing the normal promotional excerpt that I would give you guys a run down on the stories in this anthology. It might mean more to those who have read the series already, however, it may also give those going into this book without reading the main story an idea of where they came from. Of what to expect.
So story 1: The Lounge Scene (and yes, this is how I’ve named them)
It’s from book 4, this scene when Eamon walks into the house after he wakes up and realised he needs to get Chris back-ish…
Straight into the lounge room. Lighter than he thought it would be in the morning light. Eamon got the ear full of grunts before his eyes locked onto two guys on one side of the room. Jex, the bottom, slightly shorter, but thicker through the body than his tall, lanky partner, Matt, was being pushed into the cushions of the lounge, his arms stretched back, held by the guy’s hands as he thrust into the man. One of the other men who was actually watching the TV sat sideways, his foot holding the guy’s head, keeping him down.
Anyway, this story is how Jex and Matt ended up having sex on the lounge with all the other guys sitting around like it was something they did every day…which is kinda true.
2nd story The Aftermath with Tim
This one is after Eamon is settled, but, is a little story of how Tim is dealing with the events that happened in their story (which is book 2: Forever with My Werewolf). I feel unlike most of this story will make more sense after reading his story, and yet…you’ll understand and if you’ve not read it, maybe it’ll make you want to *wink* *wink*
3rd story is On the Couch with Dr Collins
This one is the origin story. This one…I have always wanted to actually tell it. I think I’ve said enough as things went through the story, however I’ve not really had them sit down and tell the story, so this is… well… them sitting down and telling us their original story. I do believe it sits after book 5: A Werewolf’s Howl
4th is Christmas with Family
This one you can definitely read without the series, it’s nicer if you know who the characters are (I never actually go into that), however, I wrote this for outsiders of the series, so it doesn’t hold anything attached to the series. At least I don’t think so.
5th is The Argument between Craig and Phil
I’m a fan of this one, as I’m a fan of Craig, I try hard not to push that love, because I hate when authors do that, but I’m a fan (I dislike Colin, just so you know)
Anyway….this one is mentioned in two books 7: Protecting My Werewolf and again in 6: The Rub of My Werewolf, and I feel I should have done those the other way around. And I say that lightly, it’s mentioned, in the first one I said I believe it’s more, see I’ll show you:
This meant Adam got to see the look that passed between them like a fight lingering between the lines. It was a bad one, and the mood wasn’t getting better with the topic at hand. Adam could see that. He could also see the steam coming out Phil’s ears, nearly hear them whistle with anger. He didn’t think they’d break, but they were definitely heading hard towards a collision.
Adam had tried to keep out of it, even as he sat down cuddling with James, and Chris watching some bullshit on the telly. However, like everyone in the house that day, they hadn’t been able to stop listening. It had been the first fight between mates, and he believed for a lot of them, a reality check that there wasn’t anything different between being mated and being married.
Interesting fact, this scene was going to actually be in book 7 when I first started writing it – no wait book 6. That’s right, not all of it, but the biggest part was meant to actually play out in front of everyone and then Dan walks in and Gene sees him. Only I could never get past that part. However, if you’ve read the story you know it’s not even close to being what the story is about, but yeah, this part of the story I wrote in and LOVED and had to write out the whole thing ASAP.
And lastly because I’m mean to all of you, and I’m not sure when you’ll get this one … which I think I’ll even keep the title to myself so you’ll have to read it to find out

Excerpt
Jex let out a sigh of relief as he sat back into the lounge. Matt and he hadn’t been in this house for a long time, but he had definitely felt more at home quicker than at any of the other place his father took him.
However, his dad hadn’t been the kindest person, and they’d moved from one town to the next, leaving many people hating him because of what his father had done. Matt, with a quick kidnapping and a much-needed getaway, brought Jex to this lovely little town out in the boondocks, an unlikely place his father would never bother to look.
They’d reached town and a house full to the brim with men. Matt’s cousin and a bunch of mates had taken them both in and treated Jex like no one had done before Matt.
Jex loved the freedom of being himself, even if they all turned out to be a werewolf every time the moon was full. A lot to take in, but he had seen a lot of violence and bullshit in his life, so the werewolf factor seemed like a cakewalk.
In addition, he’d personally seen Matt change, so who was he to say something didn’t exist?
A cold bottle tapped on his shoulder, making Jex look over his shoulder. He took the bottle.
Taking a long drink of this piss-shit that the bottle label said was beer, he studied Matt. His lover rounded the couch and sat down next to him. Jex wasn’t a fan of Tooheys, he was more a VB man, but beggars couldn’t be choosers—or, more for him, lazy arses deserved to drink horse piss. He was, however, a fan of the man—tall, blonde, with deep-set eyes. He was like a walking wet dream. Someone who needed to be naked and fucking so everyone would see his true beauty.
He was a fucking dream. Jex’s dream. Even if it had taken the guy a couple of turns to realise just how Matt liked it when Jex fucked him and then give him more than he’d ever understood he wanted. Jex reckoned it came from the fact that he hadn’t ever been free to actually fuck another person before Matt.
“Taste like shit?” Matt chuckled next to him.
For the first time in a long time—and yet not a first for the thought—Jex wondered what he saw in a man who actually liked this shit.
“Why ask when you know the answer,” Jex spat back at him around another mouthful of beer. He was hoping if he drank it fast enough and got the buzz of beer in his system, it might actually start tasting nice.
Matt shook his head really slowly. That you’re fucking crazy shake, though the twitch of his lips held the joke.
“Fucking arse,” Jex muttered, finishing off his first bottle with a cringe—Fuck! This shit was bad.
Matt chuckled again. “Ah, but that’s what you love ‘bout me.”
Jex shook his head, a small smile pulling at his lips at the words, only his mouth hadn’t even completed the move before Matt’s lips covered his. The move Jex had been waiting for finally came. He snickered softly into Matt’s mouth. They were alone after all.
“It makes me feel all gooey inside to see you smile like that, and knowing it’s all mine… gets me hot as hell,” Matt whispered, a breath away from Jex’s lips.
Jex’s back arched at the scrape of whiskers against his upper lip. “Gooey?” Jex tried to make it a joke, not being able to deal with the softer sides of love.
“Oh, yeah,” Matt moaned theatrically. “It’s like melted lava inside me, mate.”
“So you’re a cooked marshmallow?” Jex muttered between the light kisses Matt was giving him. He needed more than the teasing. Already his skin was hot, his cock throbbed. He hated the teasing. Jex needed more… rubbing, thrusting, harder!
“Cooked Marshmallow?” Matt pulled back, apparently, finally, thinking around his own cock to what Jex had said.
“Shut up, man.” Jex laughed. “How can I think with my cock this hard?”
Matt burst out into laughter. Jex shifted back as Matt’s weight transferred onto his knees, since he’d straddled Jex sometime during the kiss.

Review: Each book in the Moonlit Wolves collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
This story gives you a look into what they guys looked like when they were younger. It shows a part that you might have missed when you read their original stories. It is a hot and very short little story that is a bit fun to read. Especially when you want to see where they were at before they mated or when they mated.
For me it was a bit of a waste. It was confusing since I had not read the stories in a few weeks, so I was a tad lost. Also the way it was written was not promising to me. I would not have minded if they had left the little blurbs of time off and turned it into a different way.
I love Bronwyn’s stories and can’t wait to read the next story.
