Kid Trouble's Dragon

An Xcite Books collection of five gay short stories with mixed themes including contemporary, historical, m/m, BDSM, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Kid Trouble’s Dragon by Jason Haywood

He has a real bad thing for tattoos, and the men who often get them. Not the scrappy doodles but proper work done with skill and an eye for detail. For him, they turn a hot guy into something far hotter. So you can imagine how much of an impact Kid Trouble – The Tattooed Terror – makes on him when he sees him performing in Ted Harker’s Circus of Curiosities. And why he desperately wanted to get a private viewing later on …

Film Noir by Ed Nichols

Scott reluctantly agrees to help out at the foreign film festival run by his boyfriends, Xavier and Ben, even though he can't think of a more boring way to spend a nice day. Once his work is done, he decides to steal a nap in the back of the theatre during a particularly boring film. But when Scott gets caught snoring, Ben and Xavier exact their revenge.

Model Me by Lynn Lake

The art class model was as beautiful as any Old Master’s painting, an original unveiled right there in front of everyone. Louis licked his cracked dry lips, as he studied that which all of the women and men (straight and otherwise) were openly gaping unartistically at – the smooth, cut, hooded cock that dangled from the model’s groin to awesome effect. The young artist knew right then he had to paint his own private portrait of the model, the erotic image that poured out of his fevered mind and onto his frenzied brush. And then he turned art into life, beyond his wildest imaginings.

Taking the Bait by P.A Friday

Sometimes, the best way to get what you want is to lay out the bait and wait for someone to take it – in this case, a pretty boy who’s willing to be led through the evening streets with a makeshift leash around his neck, prepared to do whatever you ask of him…

Kissing the Gunner’s Daughter by Beverly Langland

Falsely accused of stealing, Midshipman George Ludlow suffers a degrading flogging and is put ashore in Antigua. Abandoned in a strange land with no money, no friends, and having to find his own way home, George is obliged to beg. An old sailor looks kindly on George and offers to buy him supper in exchange for his story. George has much to tell, but will the old sailor take pity on George, or take advantage of a vulnerable young man?

These stories also appear in Bad Boys published by Xcite Books.
