    About this ebook

    Story 1 - Darkest Before Dawn (The Masked Man Serenade)

    Five years ago a dust plague decimated Alaric Aquinas' planet, Nova Gaia.

    Only 90% of the population survived, and they were left standoffish and minding their own business, seeking little to no contact with each other.
    All survivors awaited help to take them away from their tragedy and start anew somewhere else. Meanwhile, Alaric's constant battle for food made him find himself in tight spots more often than not, and because of this, a silent savior became part of his life.

    A savior in shining Gas Mask.

    Sule Sarong became Alaric constant, vigilant shadow to keep him away from harm, and slowly fell in love with him; mind you, from a distance but still pretty hard.

    Help finally came, and the moment to end his silent guarding arrived with it, but not in the tranquil way one would expect when the thing you have been waiting for so long happened.

    Because nothing was easy on Nova Gaia after Fate has decided to turn her back on them.

    Story 2 - How I Lost It On Planet X

    Fresh from Space Academy, Navy Captain and Archeologist Darien Muselet was assigned to command the seventh Cygnus Federation expedition to an out of the way world, Planet XZ345. It contained wonderfully conserved ruins of an ancient civilization the Federation seemed eager to study because after six failed efforts they insisted in send a new one.

    Of course there was a curse and rumors of a custodian of the planet, but Darien was not going to be intimidated by obscure nonsense. It was a ten-standard-year mission though, that was what he wasn't happy about.

    Kekoa Wana'ao has been guarding the planet of his ancestors for six hundred standard years, a fourth of the natural lifespan of his race, the Colviri. It was his duty and he was proud to be guardian and priest of the sacred temples, but it was time to find his mate and have a family of his own, also father the next Guardian.

    Little did he know that his mate would not be even from his race, but from those nosy humans that keep coming to his planet to dig and try to wrench its sacred secrets from the temples he protected.

    A young, pretty human with eyes like jewels and hair like flames.

    ***Beware reader these stories contain hot testosterone-seeks-testosterone male-on-male encounters, including scorching foreplay and uninhibited intercourse.

      This book is grammar challenged. That plus the repeated use of the word "byotch" (an odd choice for a book set in the far future, as such faddy idioms are generally not long lating) and the fact that it is entirely centered around sex makes the sci-fi aspect entirely secondary. The first story ended in an odd place. I couldn't even get through the second story. This author needs a professional editor.

    Another Dawn On Planet X Teaser

    Acknowledgments

    The Goodreads' group M/M Romance has been an important part of my development as a writer, not just because it gave me the opportunity to learn about the innumerable good M/M romance authors out there but also to hone my craft with the help of their annual DON'T READ IN THE CLOSET event.

    This event involves so many fabulous people, from those who have the courage to post a prompt, asking for a story, to those who help with the herculean task of organize and publish the stories and the subsequent anthologies. All the members in between these two stages also deserve a shout out because they take time from their busy lives to help with beta-ing, proofreading and encouraging seasoned writers and those members who hesitantly but valiantly decide to dip their toes in the delicious waters of man-on-man romance writing.

    Kudos to every single one of the beautiful people around the word that participate in these events, and especially to those who read Darkest Before Dawn (The Masked Man Serenade) and How I Lost It on Planet X and asked for more.

    STORY 1

    DARKEST BEFORE DAWN (THE MASKED MAN SERENADE)

    It’s been five blasted years since the dust plague wiped out 90% of the population of Nova Gaia. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, left to scrape out a living amid the ruins of the abandoned colonies.

    Truth be told, I’d be dead now if it wasn’t for him. I’ve never seen his face, and I’ve never heard him speak. I’d think he’s just another dust-dream, except he always seems to appear when I most need him…

    *This story was written for the Goodreads' group

    M/M Romance 2012 event

    Love is Always Write.

    CHAPTER ONE

    Blast me.

    If Alaric Aquinas hadn’t been ravenous, he wouldn’t have been chasing the furry thing; ergo he wouldn’t be in this predicament, hanging from a precipice. A damned man-made precipice nonetheless, outcome of the improvised junkyard when people started to throw everything they didn’t need anymore, into this former depression of the terrain.

    Perhaps, today was his last day on Nova Gaia.

    A mighty fine day to end twenty-six years of shenanigans.

    The straps about Alaric’s torso (preventing his fall) were not meant to support his weight, just to carry the few things he used whenever he was away from his quarters. Weak after so many days without food, he wasn’t strong enough to propel himself upward, not even to promote a swift, undramatic death by swinging a little.

    His pappa would have said Alaric should give a better fight before giving up. The only thing he was fighting right now (besides hunger) was fricking gravity, and one needed machines to win the constant battle against that bitch.

    Every time Alaric opened his eyes in the dwindling twilight, vertigo seized him. He was pressing his eyelids so hard they trembled in a rebellious effort to betray him, to make him meet his last moment with frightening awareness and flailing arms.

    Something smacked him between his closed eyes. Luckily, he was wearing his goggles. That would have been annoyingly painful otherwise.

    A rope.

    Can it be?

    The miraculous rope was long enough to circle his waist. If the straps yielded now, he wouldn’t fall. Phew, he wasn’t afraid of heights, but it’s not the same when you don’t have anything under your feet. All he needed now was to find strength to pull himself up and fast. Maybe this time he could have the chance to talk to his savior.

    Helping Alaric every time he met with trouble, the strange man in a gas mask had kept his distance, never exchanging words, just letting his presence be known.

    Curiosity moved Alaric to act swiftly more than the actual sense of danger. He longed for an opportunity to face his protector. The masked man had been haunting his dreams and— lately—even his waking moments. It had become a compulsion stronger than hunger and survival. It had inflamed his desire for company.

    Alaric knew it had a lot to do with worldlier things than gratitude, in a very testosterone-seeks-testosterone kind of way. In his dreams, he unclothed the stranger without removing the gas mask. He frankly did not care what his savior looked like. The only important thing was how good that man had been to him, without asking for anything in return.

    In a place with so few people left, kindness was a rare oddity. All went about their lives paying as little attention as possible to other survivors. The natural, human instinct to seek for the comfort of a group had been forsaken for that of isolation. Fears fathered on the illogical claim
