Shifting Gears

(Crossroads 02)

Riley Hart

Rod Nelson is used to being someone’s good time, and that’s fine with him. Spending his days at his adult toy store, Rods-N-Ends, he never knows who he’ll meet. The second Landon Harrison walks in, he has Rod’s full attention. It seems as if Landon wants him too, so why won’t the man jump in the sack with him already?

Landon never thought he’d return home to the town where memories lurk around every corner. He has to admit, Rod makes the adjustment a lot easier. He keeps Landon laughing. Despite the fierce attraction between them, he’s not willing to risk his newfound friendship to get laid.

Neither man wants something serious, but the more they’re together, the harder it is to keep their hands to themselves, until eventually they stop trying.

But flings between friends are never simple, and as they attempt to shift gears, diving into their first relationship, they’re slammed with setbacks. If they want to truly move forward, before they hit the open road together, they’re going to have to let go of a past that could make them crash and burn.

Excerpt

Landon pulled softly on his arm again, and Rod got the hint. He kneeled between Landon’s legs, with his knees on the floor. “You’re determined,” Landon told him.

Yes, yes he was. At least when it came to this. “Is that a bad thing?”

Landon smiled. “Hell no. You’ve had my dick hard since the first time I saw you. Easy Ride comes in the mail too, ya know?”

“Aww, so you came to see me?”

“Shut up so I can kiss you.” The look in Landon’s eyes turned dark, hungry, urgent, and he pulled Rod closer, covering Rod’s mouth with his own. His tongue went straight for Rod’s lips, demanding entrance, and Rod gave it easily. He tasted like a mixture of coffee and mint, like maybe he’d had a drink right after brushing his teeth.

Rod slid his hands up Landon’s thighs until he got to the bulge at the apex of them and rubbed his hand over it, feeling the large bump beneath his jeans.

Landon growled into his mouth, making it vibrate through him.

He leaned back, grabbed the bottom of Rod’s shirt and pulled it over his head. “I’m so damned hungry for you. This won’t be slow. It’ll be fast and hard.”

“Were you under the impression that I wanted it slow?”

Grinning, Landon reached around and swatted Rod’s ass. “Let’s go to the room.”

“Why move when we can do it right here?” He didn’t want to give Landon the chance to change his mind. Rod reached under the couch and grabbed a bottle of lube, before pulling a condom from his wallet and tossing both to the couch.

“You keep lube under your couch?”

“I live alone. I can jack off wherever I want. Are we going to talk or do this?” But really, he liked talking to Landon, and if what Landon said was true, he liked talking to Rod as well.

“Fuck now, words later.”

Hell yes. Definitely what he wanted to hear. Rod stood up to take off his jeans. As he worked the button, Landon traced a path across his stomach with his tongue. He nipped at the skin next to Rod’s belly button, just enough to sting before he sucked the skin into his mouth again.

“Oh fuck.” Rod’s bones melted; his knees went weak.

“Get out of those pants before I rip them off of you. Want your ass.”

Rod looked down at him and nodded, letting Landon know he was good to go. Finally, his goddamned fingers started to work and he got his pants unbuttoned and unzipped. Blood rushed through his ears. His cock ached as he pulled down his jeans.

Landon leaned in. “Jesus, you’re leaking like crazy. Look at that fucking wet spot. I want your taste on my tongue again.” And then he nuzzled his face between Rod’s legs, his mouth against the growing spot of pre-come in Rod’s underwear.

“Damn, I’m going to fucking kill you if you make me come too soon.” Even as he spoke, Rod had his hand in Landon’s hair, pushing his face closer to his aching cock.

Landon smacked his ass again, before pulling back. “Get them off.”

There was a slight tingle in Rod’s cheek from the smacks. “You’re naughty, aren’t you?” The thought just made his balls even more heavy and tight.

“For some reason, I doubt I have anything on your level of naughtiness.”

Rod shrugged. “It gives you something to strive for. You can practice on me if you want.”

 “I’ll consider it, now get your ass out of your underwear and on my dick.”

Rod’s cock pulsed behind the tightening fabric. “Don’t have to tell me twice.”

Review: Each book in the Crossroads collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Every once in a while there is a story that even though it is funny as hell, it hides a darker side to it. This is one of those stories. Each guy has felt more than just a bit of heartache and pain. They try to work around it, but they don’t really do anything but cover it up. They focus on the past and never understand that their future is depending on the choices you make. Whether it is sex or something harsher, it just covers your scars.

This story, like I hinted, is full of humor but there is that serious tone underneath and I absolutely thought that this author pulled it all out. The words just flowed off the pages and made it come alive for me. What made it more interesting is remembering how Nick and Bryce had met Rod. How they came into his store and how Rod made it more fun. They knew that there was something hidden inside of Rod that made him act like he is always happy. Every time he was in pain or wanted to change something he brought up sex. Which is what he did when he first met Landon.

Landon had left home as soon as he was able, never wanting to come back. However with his sister getting married he knew he would have to give it a chance. Especially since his sister was worried about their mother. His father and mother fought like cats and dogs, until his dad walked out never to come back. He felt like relationships were all going to turn out like his families. He felt like he would be abandoned once more. Whereas Rod felt like he would never be able to be loved. His father had told him he was a disgusting man, and he felt it deep down to the core. Then they realize that they want each other, but it is fun to watch them figure it out. These two are hot.

This story felt real and the characters were friends that I knew. The words mean more in this story then most do, you power can feel behind them. The story caught my attention and kept it all the way to the end. It was like I was right there with them going through it all. It came off very fluid throughout the whole story. It was fully developed and the descriptions were perfect.

I had a lot fun reading this and look forward to seeing Riley’s next story. The only complaint I had was that there was no cover for me to look at, so that brought it down just a bit for me (*Pixie shrugs* It was an ARC! **note to readers** Please share the cover of Shifting Gears with Lisa so she’ll stop pouting 😉 ~Pixie~). I wanted to see the guys and I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get the chance.

However the story itself rocked for me and I would definitely recommend it.
