Damian & Jun Book 2 Available on pre-order. Available July 15. Damian laughed, dark and low against Jun’s skin. “You need a shower, pet.” Jun growled. Showering sounded like work. He’d rather stay here and be Damian’s squeeze toy. Damian kissed Jun’s stomach. “You’ve had three c*cks in you. Time to clean up.” The Residency Boys Words on golden yellow mottled background.

"He needed the crystallization of frost to sort out the heated storm within. Thoughts and urges twisted together through him, tangled up in loops that fed into each other and led nowhere. Wants. Needs. Fears. And all of them circling the same yawning empty place inside that had once been so hidden he’d thought it healed. For months, it had been approaching, but now it was right there, pressed up against his ribs inside his chest, drumming through his own heartbeat, the yearning he could no longer ignore."

Sometimes you just need someone to hold a little tighter.

The Residency Boys: Collin. Completed 5 books series. #BDSM, #ChosenFamily, #MMM+ #MMRomance
Man in a suit wearing a watch on background. Text: The Residency Boys: Collin by Ciara Darren Mr. Reevesworth's arms tightened. Collin twiested in his grip and it tightened. He shivered, and Mr. Reevesworth held on hard. And then just a little harder. Collin went limp. Mr. Reevesworth's hands wer so tight, probably leaving bruises. It felt good. The weight, the restriction, the pulse of another heartbeat. So good.

Man in a suit with burgundy cravat and white shirt looking straight at viewer. Intense brown eyes, light beard, hand resting against the bottom of his lip to one side. "You have permission to be embarrassed. But embarrassing you has become a favorite pastime of mine. Expect much embarrassment in your future." ~ Richard. The Residency Boys: Collin by Ciara Darren.

Working on my next series today. Here's a snippet of a scene. For everyone who loves the Collin series, yes, Collin is in this one as well!

#MMromance #polyamory #whychoose #BDSM
Words on purple background: The Residency Boys: Damian & Jun WIP by Ciara Darren Jun leaned over Collin, breathing against his spine, catching his breath. Slowly, he sat up, but held Collin down. "Look," he whispered. Collin blinked, turning his head towards Richard and Èmeric. "Your Master and you Sir are hungry," Jun said. "You should serve them dessert."

I'm deep into writing the sequel series to The Residency Boys: Collin, which focuses on Damian and his boy. Collin is also in that series; I couldn't resist revisiting some earlier scenes between Damian, Collin, and Richard. Enjoy.

As an independently published author, I control where and how my books are published. It's a myth that readers can only find good queer indie books on Amazon. #queerbooks #books #Kobo #Smashwords #indieauthors

If you've read my Collin series, have you also read the free epilogue story focused on Émeric?

If there was something with Émeric that you felt had been left unsaid, then this is the story to answer the ache that may have left.

It's free on REAM here: reamstories.com/ciaradarren?...
