The following excerpt from APPLE CRISP is for readers 18 and over. Excerpt from APPLE CRISP: "You have no idea what your presence means to me, Cass. Not just now, but ever since you arrived here. You've helped me in ways you can't imagine." "When I got here I couldn't even help myself. I was brought here by my friend Dylan's lover, a Grimton City cop, who put me into protective custody when I ratted out a couple of tricktus pushers I was working for." "I know what you were, Cass, and I know the kind of man you've become. I also know you were working for those pushers because they threatened the lives of your family. That cop might have given you the opportunity to escape your life, but you're the one who truly made it happen through all your hard work." "Thank you." Cass smiled slightly. Did Fidel have any idea how much hearing those words meant to him? "No. Thank you." They reached for each other simultaneously, their mouths meeting in the most passionate kiss of Cass's life. When it broke, both were breathless. "If my mother and sister weren't home. . ." "I'd fuck you into oblivion," Fidel whispered. Overtaken by desire, Cass said in a husky voice, "How about the tool shed outside?" "Sounds perfect." "Then let's go." Cass stood, grasped Fidel's hand and tugged him toward the door. The tool shed behind the house wasn't Cass's ideal place for intimacy, especially with a six-foot nine-inch shapeshifter. Still it was better than being embarrassed if his mother or Kay walked in on them. "It's a little tight in here," Fidel said. Too tall for the shed, he was forced to bend over. Cass couldn't resist grasping his hips and rubbing his pelvis against the sprite's gorgeous brown ass, which was partially exposed in his loincloth. Fidel glanced at him over his shoulder, a seductive smile on his lips, and said, "It might be easier if you do the honors this time." "I don't have any lube with me." "It's all right. With my shapeshifting skills, I'll be able to accommodate you." Fidel's smile broadened, his teeth gleaming against his dark skin. A thrill of desire shot through Cass and he tugged off Fidel's loincloth.
