Triskele Studios: An Anthology

By Mychael Black

Playing the Part

Robbie and Seth are back for a Halloween party with all their friends. Robbie is all done up as a vampire, but Seth chooses something a little less traditional. While everyone is hiding behind their costumes, Seth has something to reveal, something that Robbie never expected. The party takes a turn for the better, getting hotter by the minute. Will Robbie make the best of Seth’s surprise?

Worth the Wait

Jeremy has lusted — and loved — Jax for years. He’s made it a habit of visiting Robbie Sexton’s tattoo parlor, where Jax works, just to get close to the dark-skinned god of his dreams. When his friends decide to play matchmakers, Jeremy knows it’s time to go for it. This year’s Halloween party will be one he — and Jax — never forget.

Picking Up the Pieces

A couple years have passed, and Robbie and Seth have everything going for them. Until their beloved tattoo parlor — the one they’ve worked so hard on — is robbed. Everything’s destroyed, and Robbie’s temper gets the best of him. Now it’s up to Seth to help his lover pick up the pieces and mend a few wounds. If it takes a bit of pain, then so be it.

Barside Psychology

Happily engaged, Jack and Ty are back! When a customer puts it into Ty’s head that he’s too young for Jack, Jack sets out to prove just how perfect they are together. Will Jack’s method work, though? And can they help someone else find the kind of happiness they have?

Heart of Dixie

Mack Sexton has been the pillar of the Sexton clan since his brother’s death almost six years ago. He’s seen his nephew Robbie find true love, and he’s watched other family friends come together as lovers. Mack has had his own share of fantasies, and they all involve his friend, Les Spencer — recently divorced and straight. Just when Mack gets the notion to call Robbie and ask for advice, Les surprises him in more ways than one.

Playing the Part

Robbie pressed the tooth caps a little harder and smiled. It had been Kristy’s idea for him to go to the Halloween party as a vampire, but he wasn’t complaining. Long hair helped the image and meant he didn’t need a wig. He closed his eyes when Kristy stepped up behind him and sprayed white streaks in his hair.

Damn, you look awesome!

He opened his eyes and caught her gaze in the mirror. Did Seth tell you what he’s going as?

Kristy shook her head and Robbie wondered why he’d asked at all. The woman had one of the best poker faces on the planet. Nope. Just said he’d meet us there.

Hmm… He narrowed his eyes and she laughed. Why do I bother asking?

She smirked and spritzed another burst of white down the back of his head. I have no idea. There, all done. You gonna help with my makeup?

Robbie laughed and turned around, taking in her full costume. So you finally decided on the Grecian goddess? Looks good!

Thanks. She smiled and handed him her makeup case.

What do you want? he asked as pointed her to sit on the toilet seat lid while he set out the makeup he’d need.

Hell if I know. You’re the artist. Just make it sexy, but not cheesy.

Gotcha.

Robbie started with the foundation, then dusted a lighter powder on. Kristy stayed still and quiet while he painted starburst designs at the outer corners of her eyes, outlining them in gold before filling in with a gradient of blue and white. When he was done, he stepped back and studied his work.

Damn, for a guy, I don’t think I did half bad.

You’re gay, you’re supposed to know these things, she teased.

One eyebrow rose and he glared at her. I’m gay, not a drag queen, smartass.

Kristy grinned and tugged him down, planting a kiss right on his forehead with bright red lipstick. She ran out of the bathroom before he could smack her for it, her laughter echoing from the living room.

Brat! He grumbled and wiped off the lipstick and rechecked his acrylic fangs. Denture adhesive tasted horrible, but the tooth caps looked pretty damn realistic. Now if only he knew what the hell Seth was dressing up as...

* * *

Damn, baby! You’re lookin’ good! Carmen stood with her manicured hands on her hips, her cop costume barely covering half her voluptuous body. For a woman, she was gorgeous. Even Robbie had to admit that. Her dark skin stood out well beneath the dark blue of the uniform.

Hey, hon. Robbie hugged her and then ushered Kristy into the house. While he’d wanted to have the party at the shop, there just wasn’t enough room. Judging by the
