Something's Brewing at Joe's by SJD Peterson | Blog tour spotlight, Guest Post, Excerpt & #giveaway @Dreamspinners @SJDPeterson

The promise of a dream job lures Murphy to Tampa, but he arrives to the rude awakening that the offer is on hold. Now he’s got two choices: slink back to Michigan with his tail between his legs or stay and look for work. Things perk up when he goes into a coffee shop and learns the owner is looking for someone to renovate the apartment above it. He happily takes the job, only later realizing he’s met Joe Sterling, Kaffeinate’s proprietor, before… when they hooked up at a club Murphy’s first night in Tampa.

Murphy and Joe are both proud, passionate, and outspoken. Neither is looking for a relationship, though they can’t deny they go together as well as coffee and doughnuts, in spite of their tempers. But that’s before Joe learns Murphy will be working for the corporation he believes is harming local businesses and the environment—and if Murphy will be supporting it, Joe wants nothing to do with him, dooming any possibility of an unexpected happy ending.

Inspiration for Something’s Brewing at Joe’s

The inspiration for Murphy and Joe came from my love of coffee shops. Working from home can be very isolating, so occasionally, I like to take my laptop, get an overpriced fancy coffee and write. Most of the time, I end up spending more time people watching than putting words down. Which isn’t always a bad thing because I often see interesting people and make up stories about who they are.

Murphy and Joe’s story came from one of those events. I was sitting in Barnes and Nobel pretending to write while watching this couple. The one guy was asking the other how in the world he could drink iced coffee. They then went into a long and quite animated discussion about why it was wrong to change a perfectly good cup of coffee into some fancy thing they couldn’t pronounce let alone afford. I got so tickled I couldn’t help but tell their story.

Jo

Excerpt...

“Alone at last,” Joe commented with a sultry tone.

“Thanks for the save. I’m Murphy, and you are?” He held out his hand.

Joe shook the offered hand. “Nice to meet you, Murphy. I’m Joe.” He nodded toward the empty stool next to Murphy. “Mind if I join you?”

Murphy raked his eyes up and down Joe’s body. The way he licked his lips when his gaze landed on Joe’s crotch made it glaringly obvious he felt the connection, too, and he liked what he saw.

“Be my guest.”

Joe pulled out the stool and straddled it, making a point to have the bulge in his shorts proudly on display. “You’re not from around here. I’d have remembered you,” he drawled.

“Michigan.”

“A Yank, huh? I hear you Michiganders can be a bit on the frigid side.”

“You heard wrong. The temperature may get below zero, but that just means you have to engage in physical activities that provide warmth.” Murphy’s voice was seductive and telling. “You ever been to the D?”

“Nope, but I’m hoping to get a little D tonight,” Joe said. No point in beating around the bush. He was horny.

Rory set their drinks down. He smiled at Joe, then glared at Murphy before moving down to tend to another customer.

Joe picked up his drink and took a small sip. “It seems you have made an enemy of our little Rory.”

Murphy shrugged. “I didn’t mean to offend him, but I wasn’t interested. He’s not my type.”

“And just what is your type?”

Murphy brought his beer to his lips. “You,” he replied, sounding confident as hell, then took a big gulp of beer.

“I was hoping you’d say that.” Joe palmed his dick.

“Anything in particular you’re looking for?”

Joe squeezed his cock, pushing up into his hand slightly. “I’d have thought that was pretty obvious.”

Murphy took another long pull from his draft, then ran the tip of his finger along the foam on his upper lip. Joe groaned when Murphy sucked that finger into his mouth and pulled it out deliberately.

“Yeah, it’s obvious, all right. I was just figuring we should discuss particulars. No sense wasting each other’s time.”

“Good point. Let’s hear them.”

“I work hard and play even harder. I prefer to top, but I’m not opposed to bottoming once in a while. I don’t do bareback, never have, never will. I also don’t do the awkward morning-after shit, and I don’t cuddle.”

Joe kept his features neutral, acting like he was considering Murphy’s offer, when really what he wanted to do was jump up and down and scream hallelujah.

Unable to hold his excitement back a second longer, he downed his drink and slammed the glass on the bar. “Well, Murphy from Michigan, tonight is your lucky night. Finish your drink.”

Murphy arched a brow. “And what, pray tell, makes me so lucky?”

Joe moved closer until his lips were against Murphy’s ear, getting a whiff of spicy cologne and clean sweat. “Because I’m going to let you ride my ass as hard and fast as you want, and I live a short two-minute walk from here.” He licked the shell of Murphy’s ear, grinning at the shudder it produced. “Now drink up.”

Murphy went to his feet. “Forget the drink, let’s go.”

Joe was out of his seat and pulling Murphy through the growing crowd without another word, feeling the big shit-eating grin spread across his face. He had the sneaking suspicion it wasn’t only Murphy’s lucky night.
