Another year has come and gone, every year seeming to go faster and faster. We here at Brief Encounters wish all of our readers, lurkers, commenters, authors and anyone else who stumbles by, a plethora of wonderful things to come your way in 2012. May your New Year’s Eve be filled with fun, festive times with friends and family. And of course, stay safe on a night of celebrations.
As a little New Year’s gift to you all, and with the urging of Dane at Goodreads, here is another, (R-rated) installment of Steven and Cory’s story, which started at Halloween. You can download both stories at Goodreads. Just click on the cover below to take you to the site.
I Dare You … Again
Things have been going great for Steven and Cory since they finally got together at Halloween, but New Year’s is about to be a dud. Cory is in Europe visiting his family, and there’ll be no New Year’s kiss for either of them this year. However a surprise early return, and yet another dare from Steven’s best friend and roommate, Derek, mean this could be the best New Year’s ever, or the worst. Can Steven resist the dare, or will he take a chance with his heart as 2012 arrives?

This is adorable! Thanks for sharing another look at the guys, they’re great together, plus there’s more of the mischievous Derek, who’s rather taken my fancy *heh*… and hopefully there’ll be more to come for him in 2012?! (no pun intended…)
Thanks Clare. Yes, Derek’s cockiness hides some hurt, which I may have to lighten up a bit for public consumption, but he rather took over my interest too once these guys were settled.
Happy New Year, all!
Thank you, Tam! I got the series stuff set for you on GRs.
Thanks Chris. I wasn’t sure how that worked so I just changed the names. May 2012 be good to you.
This is a fabulous story, Tam. And now I really want to know what’s going on with Derek
