The Sex God
By A.J. Llewellyn
Several months ago when I was invited to submit a book to Silver Publishing, I took the opportunity to address the gay circuit parties that are a monthly fixture in Palm Springs. I attended one that my frequent cover model Adam Killian was performing at and was astonished at how…well, prudish I felt. I’m not a bad looking guy and my body’s okay but I’m a writer for God’s sake, not a model and no way was I gonna take off my clothes and walk around naked with the incredibly hot guys that hung out by the pool.
It gave me the idea for The Oasis and loosely based on a very dear friend’s experience in the dating scene, I created a story in which a guy with a weight problem travels to Palm Springs with his best friend for what turns out to be Gay Leather Pride. Elias is struggling with his ex best female friend for custody visits with his two-year old son, Julio. His best friend, Josh, a videographer, lures him to the gay resort, The Oasis, where Elias meets a tall, muscular handsome sex god of a man in the pool. They strike up a conversation.
What Elias doesn’t know is that the sex god is a major gay porn star.
I immediately contacted my friend Samuel Colt, who is not only a hot and sexy guy, but it turns out, a guy with a great sense of humor. Samuel had starred in the webisodes of my book Bad Cops and his threesome with Nat Lawler and Tony Aziz were the hottest scenes I’d ever seen. I approached Samuel with the idea of making him the sex god in the book and also putting him on the cover. I assured him he would have final approval of everything. I’ve never had so much fun working on a cover.
His photo, taken by my frequent collaborator, gay porn director, John Bruno, was perfect. Artist Reese Dante found perfect images to represent Josh and Elias. Samuel was in the midst of a multi-city European tour but still found time to check out the astonishing gallery Reese sent us. We had fun picking out our final cover.
Meanwhile, I had fun with the plot. Here is the scene where Elias first meets Samuel, the sex god:
Elias felt a ripple of movement and turned his head. A big, handsome, muscular guy waved as he waded into the water.
“Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you.” He grinned. He wore a baseball cap and a huge, sexy grin. Man, he was hot. He lolled against the pool tiles. He must have been well over six feet, and he filled those inches well.
He-Man gave a gentle kick from those long, brawny legs, and Elias glimpsed a flash of blue swim shorts beneath the undulating water. What a hot man.
“Did you just arrive?” Elias asked.
The man smiled. “Yeah. Came down from San Francisco. I’ve never been here before.”
“Me neither. Is this your first time?”
The guy stared at him a moment.
Dumbass! He just said he’d never been here before. Pie. I need me some pie. To SHUT MY BIG MOUTH!
Big Adonis stretched his arms out along the wall, his head tilted back against the tile. He closed his eyes. Elias figured their conversation was over and felt an uncomfortable need to explain his lunacy.
What do I say? I blame my parents? My stressful job? My ex? Say something, foo’! Like what? I’ve been on a diet and weight isn’t the only thing I lost? I seem to have misplaced the art of conversation. You seen it around someplace?
Thoughts swirled in his mind, and the silence stretched across the entire U.S. continent. Way to go, slick. You just put the guy to sleep.
He’d started wading toward the shallow end of the pool when the man in the hat said, “It’s not really my first time. I come every year.”
“Oh.”
The response surprised him. Why had Big Adonis said it was his first time? Was it a joke? Hello, nurse, I’ve lost my sense of humor as well as a ton of weight!
The guy stayed where he was, a sex god in repose, and Elias prayed for a flash of verbal brilliance. Or, at the very least, some divine intervention from the gods and goddesses of geeks everywhere.
Elias took a deep breath. “I bet you look awesome in leather.”
Holy shit! What the fuck kind of thing was that to say? Maybe if I tiptoe away quietly, I won’t embarrass myself anymore than I have…
I threw everything I knew about Samuel from his tweets into The Oasis, including his infamous love of maple bacon donuts. Privately, he also loves cheesecake. I have no idea where he puts these things because the man doesn’t have an ounce of body fat. I also threw in some hot threesomes and for the sequel, he will come back for an anniversary bout of fun with Elias and Josh. Here is a sample of Samuel and Elias’s first hot encounter with donuts and sex:
Samuel thrust Elias’s legs open wider, pushing at his thighs until he’d pinned them to Elias’s chest. Samuel plunged right into Elias’s ass with his tongue, his lips roaming his perineum, tugging at Elias’s ball sac and back up to his cock. He brought Elias to a drowsy point of no return, then stopped.
Elias, whose body half lolled back over the counter, lifted his head and watched through one half-open eye as Samuel moved away and foraged for rubbers in his suitcase.
He stood, his cock unyielding, demanding release. Elias reached out to it. “I have to suck it.”
“You’re very oral,” Samuel said, and kissed him. “Donuts, cock…”
“I haven’t sucked a cock in months. Yours is just…spectacular.” Fever flushed Elias’s face. His thoughts dizzied him.
Samuel gaped. “Months? Really?” He frowned. “Are you sick or something?”
“No, bad break up. Lions, tigers and bears. You don’t wanna know. Frankly, I don’t want to know.”
Samuel gave him a quizzical look. He picked up Elias again, carrying him over to his massive king-size bed. With one foot he shoved the bedspread down and then dropped Elias to the cool sheets. He straddled Elias, their hard cocks colliding. He spat on Elias’s chest and nipples and began to lick and suck them. He tongued his way down Elias’s torso to his treasure trail, came back, pinning Elias’s hands above his head against the mattress and spat on his armpits. The sensation inflamed Elias’s escalation into maple-porn frenzy.
I had a lot of fun writing The Oasis. Samuel and I would like to make a copy available free to one of his fans. So please leave comment and the winner – chosen at random – will get a free PDF copy of The Oasis. Here, meanwhile is the book link at Silver Publishing:

OMG…not only do I love the excerpt, I totally love the background story. You’ve outdone yourself, AJ! Congratulations. (And…uhmm…I’d love to be a fly on the wall–anytime. Really!)
Posted by Laura Harner on December 18th, 2010 at 10:11 amHey AJ, loved this blog. Samuel is such a great guy, I’m happy you gave him his own book, so to speak. 🙂 And what a hot book it is! Have fun writing the sequel!
Posted by Serena Yates on December 18th, 2010 at 10:14 amI just read this excerpt, and I have to admit, I’d break my “no threesomes” rule to read this book! (it’s not a hard, fast rule by any means. . . just haven’t read much of them that I’ve liked—this would be the exception, I think. . .) Your book, and your sex-god friend, both sounds delicious~~~congratulations on the new novel release!

Merry Christmas!!!
Posted by Lisa G. on December 18th, 2010 at 11:45 amHey, A.J.! This book sounds hot, hot, hot and I’m about to leap out of here to go get it. But maple bacon donuts? Gotta say that sounds pretty awful…but I’m from the East Coast and am addicted to Dunkin Donuts, so what do I know? Definitely not in a cupcake, though…OK?
Posted by Jon Treadway on December 18th, 2010 at 12:00 pmI love this excerpt, would love to read the rest of the book. Samuel Colt has facinated me since I first discovered him on twitter.Looking forward to the sequel also.

I’m pretty sure I know where my Christmas bonus is going 🙂 You, AJ, might break me with all your great stories! I find myself wanting you to write faster and slower at the same time 🙂
Take care and I think maple, bacon cupcakes could work 😀
Peace, Jenn

Thanks AJ for the behind the scenes of your latest book.
Posted by Dawn R. on December 18th, 2010 at 12:37 pmSamuel Colt is one of the funniest men on Twitter and is personally responsible for my first foray into bacon as a dessert possibility. I found the bacon donut a lot like I imagine Samuel to be… nice and savory, spicy and sweet and it left me with a craving for more, more, more.
Posted by Rhyss on December 18th, 2010 at 2:15 pmA.J, this book sounds like a must read! I always love to find out how a storyline came to you.
