    About this ebook

    Cate Ellink honours Movember - the month when men grow moustaches - with a fun story.

    There’s nothing Brianna hates more than a hairy lip. Moustaches make her moan. She simply refuses to see any advantage in having a spiky caterpillar living on your face. And she has never, ever kissed a man with a mo.

    But it’s November when lots of men grow a mo to raise money for charity, and in Brianna’s office this year, that means kissing, lots of kissing. For every kiss a moustache-wearing man gets during the thirty days of ‘Movember’ money is donated to the charity.

    Can Briana come to terms with hairy top lips or will thirty November kisses break her?

    Author

    Cate Ellink

    Cate Ellink became intrigued by the erotic when her grandfather used to pass books to her father saying, "Don't let the girls read page X." Although her mother and sisters never bothered to chase those pages, Cate always did. Invariably, her imagination was better than what she read. While pursuing a career in science, Cate amused herself by writing about ordinary events and giving them an erotic twist. It's taken more than a few years to bravely expose her mind to the public. While the events in her stories may have occurred, it's highly likely that her imagination is far more exciting than the reality. Cate lives near the beach in NSW with her long-suffering husband. This is Cate's first novella. She has two short stories published.

      There’s nothing Brianna hates more than a hairy lip. Moustaches make her moan. She simply refuses to see any advantage in having a spiky caterpillar living on your face. And she has never, ever kissed a man with a mo.

      But it’s November when lots of men grow a mo to raise money for charity, and in Brianna’s office this year, that means kissing, lots of kissing. For every kiss a moustache-wearing man gets during the thirty days of ‘Movember’ money is donated to the charity.

      Acknowledgments

      Thanks to all who helped with this story, especially:

      Rhyll Biest, who is responsible. A few years ago, she challenged me to write a flash fiction mo-ro. I had no idea of what she was saying. It turned out she was looking for really short stories of moustache romance for a Movember blog. What started as one single moustache kiss…ended up with a month of them.

      Ainslie Paton, as always, helped with story, self-publishing details, cover and all things.

      Mr E survived another book!

      This is for my friends and family affected by mental health issues.

      ***~***

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you enjoy this book. If you do, would you consider donating to the Movember, or a Mental Health, fundraising efforts? Thank you for considering a donation.

      I can’t imagine a fundraising effort like the one in 30 November Kisses happening today, so please allow yourself to slip into a fantasy world, where kisses are purely kisses, and no one expects them to go further.

      Happy reading!

      30 November Kisses

      October 31 - Wednesday

      I hate Movember. I shudder. Creepy crawly caterpillars appearing on every second man’s upper lip. They make my skin crawl.

      Jill gives me a look. The one where she can’t believe what I’ve said. I’ve worked with Jill for almost twelve years, ever since I joined Council. Don’t tell me you like them? She couldn’t. No one could.

      Jill twists her lips and her eyes squint. She’s trying to work out if I’m serious. Oh gee, she must like them. I need to bang my head against the table but then I’d just look even sillier.

      Finally she makes up her mind. You’ve never kissed a man with a mo, have you? Sometimes she’s slow to speak but when she does it’s worth listening to…well, usually.

      Deep shudders run through me. I can’t imagine anything worse than a hairy caterpillar being that close to me, touching my lips. All those germs, breadcrumbs, leftovers. Urgh!

      Jill grins. Then here’s your Movember challenge, Briana. Since all the guys are growing moes, your challenge is to kiss one each day.

      I’m stunned for the few seconds it takes for the words to align in my brain. A creepy-crawly feeling prickles over my skin. Kiss them? What? Thirty caterpillars? Life could not be that mean. Jill couldn’t be that mean. No way.

      "We’ll put up a sign. Raise money for Movember. It’s a great
