The
Yellow Rope
What are the three
words that can get the heart thumping, send blood pressure though the roof, and
make the very breath in your chest freeze? That can make a grown person yell
with unabashed joy, have their hands shake with excitement, and bring tears to
their eyes in relief? What are three little words that are worth their weight
in gold?
That’s right… a long
weekend.

* * *
Hey everyone! *laugh* Those
three little words are some of the most
important in our vocabulary, aren’t they? I no longer work, but when I did… I
lived for three-day weekends. Yes, yes, I had summers off because I taught, but
those weekends made the other ten months somewhat bearable.
This story is about
life getting in the way of a relationship and two men who refuse to continue to
let that happen. It’s about reconnecting and the joy of finding themselves once
again and meeting their needs. And yes, there is humor, lol.
Sometimes, a three-day
weekend can be a life savior, lol.

A
cranky submissive...
Luke
Walker is tired. He spends long hours between his job as a teacher assistant at
an elementary school and helping out his family at their restaurant. Coupled
with the fact that his degree is going to waste, he’s discouraged and fatigued
by too much work and endless southern heat, and not enough time spent with his
live-in partner.
An
understanding Dom...
Gage
Holt has been on both sides of the fence. He believes that in order to be a
good Dom, one has to understand being a sub. Unfortunately, he’s had some bad
experiences in pursuit of that knowledge, and suffered a great deal. But that’s
in the past now.
A long
weekend...
Three
little days... Gage is determined to see that his man gets what he needs in
every way he can give it to him. Anything to remove the dark circles from
beneath his beautiful eyes. For the next seventy-two hours, he’s going to
pamper his boy—in his way. He’ll fight a bull that hates him, battle with a
crusty old woman at a gift shop who snubs him, and deal with the never-ending
lack of money just to bring the shine back to Luke’s eyes.
Luke will
relax and have some fun, even if Gage has to tie him to whatever flat surface
happens to be handy.
Excerpt:
“Hey.” Luke walked into
the kitchen, came up behind Gage, and hugged him.
“Hey babe, glad you’re
home.” Gage turned in the arms that held him and returned the hug.
“So am I. It was a really,
really long day.” Luke stepped back and loosened his tie. It’d been strangling
him for the better part of the day. “Been in meetings for most of the morning,
and oh joy, since this was a county wide in-service, we had to dress.”
“I know. I enjoyed
listening to you bitch about that very thing this morning while I was trying to
get dressed.” Gage tapped the end of Luke’s nose. “But you do look good in a
suit. And I so enjoy taking it off you.”
Luke laughed, shaking his
head. “You always say that, but I’d rather be in jeans. You like taking those
off, too.
“You bet.”
“Perv.”
“You know it.” Gage winked
as he turned back to the stove to test the spaghetti sauce. “Was it bad?”
Luke leaned against the
counter. “Well, we did get an hour lunch after we returned from the Civic
Center. That was the only place big enough for the district. They made us ride
a damn school bus over and back. Right after that, we got an hour to work in
our room. Then the damn meetings started in the cafeteria. I hate those the
worst. I swear my ass is numb from those seats, but we’re finally done with
in-service for this month.”
“Poor baby.” Gage held the
spoon up to let Luke taste the sauce. “Dinner’s almost ready. You hungry?”
Luke licked the spoon.
“Needs a bit more salt.” He rolled his head, trying to pop his neck. His
shoulders were tied in knots. “Yeah, I am hungry, but let me unwind for a few
first. I’m still too much in school mode to eat right now.”
“Well, then, why don’t you
go change clothes?” Gage kissed Luke’s cheek. “Go get comfortable while I
finish this. No rush. We’re just going to enjoy ourselves and this weekend.”
“Think I will. Be back in
a minute.” Slightly surprised and a little miffed, Luke climbed the stairs.
Usually Gage attacked him when he wore a suit. As soon as Gage got it off him,
he’d find himself over whatever flat surface was closest.
With a shrug, and with
fatigue dragging at him, he pulled off his suit jacket as he entered their
bedroom. Throwing it over the treadmill, he unbuttoned his shirt. This was the
first night he’d managed to get home on time. With a grateful sigh, he untucked
the shirt. He had a long weekend coming, and all he wanted to do was rest and
play catch-up with his partner. From what Gage had said, they were on the same
page. All he wanted to do was relax, and enjoy.
He couldn’t remember the
last time they’d made love. He wasn’t talking about the quick fucks they had
lately. Hell, both of them had been too tired to do much else. Luke cringed.
Okay, he’d been too tired or too busy. He missed Gage’s touch on his body, the
bite of ropes on his wrist, the pinch of a gag.
His body ached with need
for what his lover could give him. Luke slipped off his dress shoes and pants.
As he undressed, he noticed the pair of night pants on the end of the bed and a
folded piece of paper on top.
“Hmm, what’s this?” he
mumbled to himself.
As Luke read the note, his
body came alive. It looked like his dry spell was over. It also explained why Gage hadn’t thrown him down on
the kitchen table and ripped the suit off him. He had other plans, apparently.
Following the instructions, he stripped out of his underwear, slid the cock
ring on his awakening shaft, and pulled the night pants up. The instructions
were very clear—that was the only clothing he was to wear.

bio:
M.A. Church
M.A. Church lives in the southern United States and
spent many years in the elementary education sector. She is married to her high
school sweetheart and they have two children. Her hobbies are gardening,
walking, attending flea markets, watching professional football, racing, and
spending time with her family on the lake.
But her most beloved hobby is reading. From an early
age, she can remember hunting for books at the library. Later nonhuman and
science fiction genres captured her attention and drew her into the worlds the
authors had created. But always at the back of her mind was the thought that
one day, when the kids were older and she had more time, she would write a
book.
By sheer chance she stumbled across a gay male
romance story on the web and was hooked. A new world opened up and she fell in
love. Thus the journey started. When not writing or researching, she enjoys
reading the latest erotic and mainstream romance novels.
