I write mostly MM porngasmic fluff— sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous (just like me). I believe you should always read what you love. Personally, I can't read anything that will tug at my heartstrings, leave me hanging on for the next installment, or gloss over the sexy bits (they're the best part). I love me some tasteful dirty talk, and a book that can make me laugh will get 5*!Though it's only been a year since I fell in love with the MM romance genre, it's become my next new addiction. Paranormal and taboo reads are my favorites. In a past life, I was most likely a tall fitness guru with an immaculate home and a thriving garden, which totally explains my "been there, done that" attitude.I'm currently either reading or writing the next random book that strikes my fancy (or both).What are you up to?Still reading my bio?Why? I'm not that interesting. Go find a smutty MM romance to read. You won't be disappointed. ;)Love,AJxoxo

About A. J Ridges

Chapter One

"Does it hurt?’ I asked, while I folded one of Seth’s eggplant colored tees and dropped it on top of the growing pile in his suitcase.

What? he inquired, innocently.

Seth was standing beside his closet flicking hangers back with a snap as he searched for his grey dress slacks. He was headed off to Vegas for a two-week-long conference and I was helping him pack.

Actually, I volunteered to help Seth pack because I knew tonight would be the perfect night to put my plan into motion.

You know, um...when you’re with another guy, I muttered nervously, rubbing my sweaty palms along the front of my jeans.

He took a step back from the closet and stared at me, no longer concerned about finding his pants.

Are you asking me about sex? he asked, clearly surprised.

I bit my bottom lip, a nervous habit of mine that he would be sure to recognize. Yeah, I guess I am.

Seth and I had known each other since we were kids, but in all that time we’d never once talked about sex. Granted we weren’t always friends. In fact, I was kind of an asshole to Seth when we were growing up.

He was the smart, pudgy, fancy kid who loved books, art and music. I was the tall, popular kid who hung with the jocks - playing sports, teasing girls and trying to set things on fire. I remember some of the horrible names the boys would call Seth in school, and even though I wasn’t the worst offender, I definitely wasn’t innocent.

I had regrets. I guess everybody does, but I’d learned to live with mine.

Not surprisingly, Seth got a full scholarship to a college out of state, while I never left our home town. I worked two jobs and attended night school just to get my degree. It wasn’t until we were both hired by the same pharmaceutical company that our lives crossed paths once again.

Seth had come into his own as an adult. He was still insanely smart, however physically he bore no resemblance to the boy he once was.
