Master Sgt. Montague (Master Adam) tells it like it is


This excerpt from MASTERS AT ARMS takes place at the Naval Medical Center where Damián is in rehab after losing his foot in the Second Battle of Fallujah. (Damián's character was inspired by actor Orlando Bloom--see photo above where new recruit Damián is thinking about his perfect day at the beach with Savannah.)  

In the scene below, Marc "Doc" D’Alessio, Damián's Navy Corpsman and close buddy, is worried about his friend's low morale. Marc has called their retired master sergeant, Adam Montague (Master Adam), to have a serious talk with Damián before he's discharged the next day. Marc fears (and rightly so) that Damián plans to commit suicide. The young man doesn't have the support he needs in San Diego to fight his way back.

So, Master Adam has just offered Damián a home with him in Denver--and a job at the sex club he and Marc are going to start. Adam has described some of the kinds of activities Damián would be involved in at the club. Just hearing Adam's words, Damián gets his first hard-on--or "full salute," as he put it in the preceding paragraph--since his injury. (Adam has noticed Damián's pup tent, too!)

Only Damián and Adam are in the room and we’re in Damián’s head.





Damián adjusted the sheets to hide his stiffy, and then slid his leg out to reveal his bare grotesque stump. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m missing a foot.”

“Well, last time I checked, most of the ladies at BDSM clubs are more interested in a firm hand and a stiff cock. You still seem to have both of those in your inventory. Sure, there may be some chicks with a foot fetish, but you still have a good one, don’t you?”
Damián was speechless.

Damián was speechless.


MASTERS AT ARMS will be published at Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble in August 2011.

  7. I'm definitely intrigued with the idea of BDSM as a solution to PTSD. Can't wait to find out where this goes. :)

  12. Ha, fabulous snippet!

  13. Thanks, everyone! You should have seen how excited I was when I decided to run this one. I wish I could have seen everyone's faces when they read it--like watching someone open a Christmas gift I thought was on the mark.

    Xakara, not only will Damian have PTSD--so will his lady (from incest). NOBODY'S PERFECT is going to be powerful and I just plotted the prologue and early chapters this morning. You can catch a glimpse of how Damian and Savannah first hooked up at the age of 19 in an earlier blog at http://kallypsomasters.blogspot.com/2011/06/hot-teenaged-sex-at-beach-masters-at.html. Their story is slated for release in February 2012. (Sorry--I'm writing and editing as fast as I can!)

  14. Great setup and story line. I would love to read more of this each sunday.

  15. That was a great six, Kally! Very creative and funny. I could almost feel Damian's shock at Adam's words.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'd be shocked, too! Great six! Happy 4th.

  17. I loved everything about this snippet. First, you tackle creating character with a disability. Then you send him to work at a sex club. The pep talk is exactly the men talk to one another. Great job.

    I'd like to read the rest of this...see what happens to him when he goes to "work."

  18. I really really liked your six. It was touching in the most playful way. Thank you so much!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thanks! So glad everyone's loving this one as much as I do!

    Cara, you can catch a glimpse of Damian from the perspective of Master Adam's lady as she auditions before him for a job at the club in this blog excerpt: http://kallypsomasters.blogspot.com/2011/06/cover-art-for-masters-at-arms.html. That scene is about six years after the one in my SSS today. (MASTERS AT ARMS is a prequel to the series.)

    Damian's story (NOBODY'S PERFECT) won't be told until the last novel in the trilogy (February), though. But there will be glimpses of him in NOBODY'S ANGEL (Marc's story) and NOBODY'S HERO (Adam's story).

  20. Hello! lol ... I liked that so much I'm laughing ... in a good way I promise! Talk about a woman who knows her clients!

  21. HAHA! Way to ground him in reality!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That's right!! Shock him out of his self-pity and haul his ass to a sex club!! lol! Great snip!

    ReplyDelete
  23. That was fabulous writing. I love it and I want to buy it when its out

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love the way he was speechless! Brilliant :)

  25. A character like Mark Harmon as a sex club owner into BDSM.. Take me Jesus, My fantasies have been fulfulled!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Jayel, LOL. Master Adam (Mark Harmon) has quite the following already from my FB friends, so you may have to stand in line a while. I think he's in New Jersey right now with a writer friend. (It's like running a loan-a-master program. I can't always remember where they are and sometimes have to put out a call on FB for whoever has the one I need to return him.)

    Anyway, I get the most requests for Master Adam. There are a couple more blog scenes with him. Last week's 6-Sentence Sunday was with him, too.

    His story is the second in the trilogy--NOBODY'S HERO. it comes out in November! Stay turned!

    Loving all the comments today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
