Dear Author, I admit I don’t drink a lot, so last night might not have been the best idea. Everyone knows that summoning demons and alcohol is a very bad not good combo, and that Dark Entities Are Not Personal Playthings or Party Favours. So, long story short, I’m now stuck with that absurdly hot guy you can see in the picture. He owns my soul and the bastard won’t even tell me what I sold it for… I just hope that he’s not as bad as that smirk would suggest and that my story will have a happy ending. Photo Description: A photograph from the chest up of a stunning dark-haired man. He has his hands behind his head and he’s looking into the camera with a look that is both devious and challenging. The smirk around his lips doesn’t promise much good—or a lot of it—depending on your perspective. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is an Open Road" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. This story may contain sexually explicit content and is intended for adult readers. It may contain content that is disagreeable or distressing to some readers. The M/M Romance Group strongly recommends that each reader review the General Information section before each story for story tags as well as for content warnings.

I’m born and bred in the Netherlands, where talking about the weather is the national sport (although we pretend it’s soccer) and a favorite saying is you’d better act normal cause that’s crazy enough. I like talking about the weather, but I’m not a big fan of normality. Despite that, I lead a mostly quiet and disturbingly normal life and keep the craziness contained in my head. As a child I read too much, finding the world of fiction far more interesting than everyday life, and even now I try to spend as much time as possible in other people’s heads, through books and writing, and through my alter ego life as a psychologist. On any given day, you can find me curled up on my couch with a spicy book, one or both of her two cats, some tea, and ample amounts of Dutch chocolate. I’ve been writing for about five years, after I started watching professional wrestling, and those hot, practically naked man invaded my head, became my muses and forced me to start writing. For a few years I read, wrote, and obsessed about pro-wrestling slash fanfiction, and in the end of 2012 I made the step to writing my own characters. In 2013 I published my first two stories: 'Running Away From Sunshine' which was published by Dreamspinner, and 'Is It Me You’re Looking For' published by ManLoveRomance Press. This year I will once again be featured in Dreamspinner’s Daily Dose Anthology with my story 'Breaking Down Our Walls' which will be available in june 2014. Also coming this summer is the free novella Into The Wastelands, my first foray into fantasy.
