Project X is a re release of a book previously published by Wayward Ink. It will be released in two weeks. In the build-up we’ve issues this prequel, which is free at eXtasy Books It introduces us to Morgan, Matthew and Cody and helps keep the equilibrium a little as you read abou the three in the main book.
Quoting Matthew and the first line of the book. “Morgan Bentley is a bastard.” I wonder if you’ll agree. At least you might see where Matthew is coming from.
Matthew and Cory are visiting a prestigious English university, with the intention of attending. While standing in the car park, a red Ferrari screeches to a halt through up dust and gravel. A gaggle of “it” girls spill out along with the most perfect specimen of manhood Matthew has ever seen. He hates him on sight.

“Do come on, Morgan,” someone called. “I’m getting dirt all over my Vuittons. They’ll be ruined. And I’m parched, darling. We really must find somewhere decent to get a drink soon, or I’m sure I’ll die.
Was I mistaken, or had a flash of anger crossed his face? If it had, it was quickly replaced by something else. I took it as arrogance and disdain, although I wondered about that later. Right then it made me angry. How dare he? How dare they? Was I so far beneath them they wouldn’t even deign to acknowledge our presence?
“Nice to meet you, too,” I called after them as they walked away. No one so much as glanced in our direction.
“Wow,” Cory said when the little group had disappeared.
“Yeah. See why I didn’t want to come here?

I’m afriad I took a few liberties with the line count in order for it to make sense. I am also going to take another liberty as I left everyone at the edge of a cliff last time and I might get lynched if I just more blithely on to another book. This second snippet comes a few days after the last one.

With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, Asher made another scoop, and when Erik moved forward to accept the finger, he dabbed it onto Erik’s nose and upper lip. “Oops,” he said, drawing Erik’s face forward. “Let me take care of that for you.” Erik shivered as Asher licked his face clean. He was pretty sure it wasn’t because the ice cream was making him cold.
And now it’s time for you all to click on the rainbow above and taste snippets from all the other amazing writers who contribute to the rainbow tapestry just for your entertainment.
Intriguing meeting! I wonder if Morgan will redeem himself?
Ah, that’s the question. We know what Matthew thinks of him 😀
What a snooty bunch of people! 🙁
They are horrible. Or are they?
Sounds like my high school. ~shakes head~ They were jerks still ten years after graduation. Oh, well. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!
You’re welcome. I love to write and I love to share. Win Win.
Steamy little Asher moment there!
I sense jealousy and possessiveness in the flip, foppish arrogance of whomever called Morgan ‘darling’. I’ll wager the snubbed is regarded as more of a threat to the snubber than he’s letting on…
Ah yes, that would be Sarah, Morgan’s girlfriend at the time. He wasn’t impressed, but then he hadn’t been for a long time.
I don’t think them ignoring me would irritate me nearly as much as the way he was driving.
But reading it again, I think maybe Matthew is a touch jealous and wanting to be noticed?
Being noticed is a big part of the whole story. Things are very different from Morgan’s perspective.
Wow, what an uppity bunch.
Well they seem rather an unpleasant bunch.
Oh, I loathe people like that. What a pain.
Ugh. They seem pretty horrible.
