A
Different Class,
while part of the 1Night Stand imprint, focuses a bit on Rod’s line of work,
brewing. Sigmund Brewing is small but gaining traction, and as I write more you
may find the company figuring more into stories. Today, I envisioned a raucous
holiday party to celebrate a successful year.
Imagine, if you will, a large
meeting room draped in sparkling red and green garlands. A Charlie Brown tree sits
in one corner, the long meeting table laden with supermarket cold cuts and
chicken wings. Somebody’s tapped a keg of seasonal beer, and everybody has a
red Solo cup in hand. There’s an iPhone plugged into a speaker and everybody’s
singing along to Bruce Springsteen’s Santa Claus anthem.
Rod Maloney, the company’s
owner, is seen in high spirits—it’s been a while since his employees have found
him so happy, but he has reason this year. He’s brought a date, and people at
the brewery are familiar with Glenn, a man Rod went to high school with but
didn’t really get to know until recently. People are sketchy about how they met
(something to do with a nearby resort and a blind date?) but it doesn’t matter.
They’re close together and under the mistletoe, sneaking kisses while the music
changes to something more traditional.
People slip in an out of the
meeting room. Are they hooking up elsewhere, in abandoned offices or the narrow
cubbyhole that houses the copier? Hard to say, but nobody seems to notice when
Rod tugs Glenn out the door and leads him to his office.
Door locks, papers pushed
aside. The Santa hat falls from Glenn’s head with a weak tinkling noise and
he’s on his back on the desk, adjusting for his boyfriend’s weight on him. With
fevered longing they kiss and grope each other, fueled by seasonal micro-brew
and the spirit of giving. Two people who wallowed in loneliness earlier this
year have no fear anymore. They have each other, and the promise of a bright
future.
Merry Christmas, and to all a
good night.
A Different
Class
A Class Act
I am Leigh Ellwood. I write smutty stories
about people who like getting naked and having sex. Some have more sex than
others, some have sex with people of the same gender, some have sex with more
than one person, and still others have sex with toys and things that require
the use of batteries. My stories range from a few thousand words to well past
70k. The book list link above breaks everything down for you – genre, length, and
other attributes. My books are available at Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, Kobo,
and ARe. Really, just type my name in any bookstore site and something is bound
to show up.
