Originally written for a free anthology at
Goodreads, this
short story
expanded the HardCell Universe and Ox's history... and planted all
kinds of demented ideas that bore fruit.
Due to reader demand I've posted it as MOBI, EPUB, and PDF at All Romance Ebooks and 1PlaceforRomance. In the meantime, you can download the entire entire story here as a PDF. The companion novella, Grown Men, was snagged by Riptide Publishing and was released 30th October 2011.
Seedy Business Blurb
When corporate mercenary Beirn agrees to a sleazy organ harvest job, he walks straight into his worst nightmare, a trap set by the twin brother he betrayed. Against his better judgment, Beirn teams up with a semen smuggler to save his own skin and hopefully make amends to the only family he has left.
Loathing turns to lust as the two men grapple with their violent impulses and their growing desire. In one terrible night, impossible feelings will force Beirn to understand the brother he betrayed and the mistakes he's made.
Warning: doublecrosses, dirty sex, and designer testicles.

Seedy Business Reviews:
"4 1/2 blissful sweet peas! Mr. Suede is famous for his skills as a wordsmith, so instead of a favorite quote, I offer favorite words and phrases: cum-smuggler, man-jam, designer testicles, sperm pirates. There are lots more and they’re all hilarious. A fantastic job of world building…thrilling plot and characters…Mr. Suede has written another winner, and it’s offered as a legitimate, author-approved, free on-line read! This is a no-risk investment other than your time to enjoy the story…Ingenious, erotic, witty, and outrageously funny." (Mrs. Condit Reads Books)
