The Beasts of Hank’s Wood by Lil DeVille
Joe Schola III is the eighteen-year-old son of Joseph Schola Junior, a
fire-and-brimstone preaching Fundamentalist televangelist. While young Joe
is far less homophobic than his father, he is struggling to come to terms
with his own sexual orientation. Will Joe dare accept the invitation to
become part of a clan of shapeshifters, and will he accept the love being
offered to him by the handsome fox shifter Lovell Azarola?
Excerpt from The Beasts of Hank’s Wood
Reverend Jed didn’t miss what was happening between me and her
gorgeous friend. Taking my hands in hers, she smiled.
“There’s nothing wrong with letting nature take its
course,” she advised. “Then again, you don’t want to dive into
deep waters too soon. I’ve known Lovell all his life. He’s not the casual
and fleeting kind.”
“I’m not either,” I reassured her. “The truth is,
I’ve never been in a relationship. Because I don’t know a thing about
letting someone know I’m interested in them or establishing if they’re
interested in me, I don’t want to make a mistake. Straight people have it
hard too, but I think it’s even harder when you’re not straight. If a
straight guy hits on a girl who’s not interested, he probably won’t get his
backside handed to him, unless she has a jealous boyfriend he doesn’t know
about.”
“The thing is, I wouldn’t have said anything if I hadn’t seen what was
happening between you and Lovell. He definitely noticed you.”
“Um…Forest didn’t, you know, notice Vic, did he?
‘Cause Vic’s straight. Vic won’t kick his butt, but I wouldn’t
want Forest to waste his time on a straight guy.”
Reverend Jed burst out laughing.
“Forest is straight too. He simply sensed a kindred spirit in
Vic.”
“I guess my gay-dar is broken,” I said. “’Cause he
looked me up and down and I kind of thought he might be checking me
out.”
“He was checking to see if you were safe for his brother. The boys
are very protective of each other.”
“Well, I’m safe,” I reassured Reverend Jed. “But
maybe a fine guy like Lovell isn’t going to be too keen on an
inexperienced dude like me.”
“He’s keen,” Reverend Jed said. “It’s up to
you if you want to encourage his interest.”
