Bruised and Back in the Saddle

“Bruised”-I admit to a penchant for “first time” stories and this is one of them. The idea of a previously straight man who finds himself falling for another man is undeniably interesting. David is the somewhat shy virgin and Marcus if the older, more guarded, object of desire. I have three other stories with these two characters rattling around in my head. “Back in the Saddle” was actually written prior to “Bruised”, oddly enough. I think being closer to Marcus's age gave me a more comfortable feel for his character. It's easy to relate to his sense of caution and guardedness, especially in light of his previous lover's horrific death, only alluded to in the story. That one's on my “To Do” list. It was interesting to try to evoke the calm strength present in many men who handle horses professionally, a trait I find damn sexy
