I survive on avoidance. Physical pain
to avoid the mental. Disposable flesh to avoid relationships. Work to avoid
attachment. My club became my empire of avoidance. Inside the ring millions are
won and lost. The fight is confined to breaths, actions and reactions, fists
and pain. Rules don’t exist. Only my opponent exists.
I’d been avoiding my needs for far too
long when Remi stumbles into the Inferno and I’m hungry. The promise of a
submissive with no attachment is far too tempting. I can’t resist him. He was
only supposed to be a distraction, but I know I'll never get over him. There
isn't a chance in this clouded hell.
If I hadn't seen the video of the
fight, I wouldn't have believed it. I clicked the button on my laptop to rewind
it, to see the way his body moved. I gripped myself through my shorts and
glanced over at Kai. He was busy inking a full back piece, and I doubted he'd
even take a break for another hour. He couldn't see me from where I sat. It
would be so easy.
I trailed my fingers over the places
Dante had left marks. I could almost taste them, even if the bruises had faded.
I'd looked at them in the mirror over my bed and fucked my hand every night
since I'd left. I groaned as I slipped my hand into my shorts.
I squeezed my shaft, digging my nails
into the sensitive skin. I had to bite back a hiss of pain. Kai could easily
walk out and see me. The rooms in the shop were three-quarter walls to divide
the space with wide open doorways. Maybe I wanted to be caught. I kicked my
feet out, watching a bead of sweat drip down Dante's neck. When he threw a
punch his muscles tightened, and it took me back to him swinging his belt. The
sound of his fist hitting flesh was close, so close, to the way the leather
sounded against mine.
I shouldn't be imagining him touching
me, but it was impossible not to. I wanted his hands on me. I wanted him to
mark me with them. I was hit with the sudden realization he'd been acting when
he was in the ring with me. He hadn't even gone at half speed. He was a monster
when he fought. It took every ounce of self-control I had to keep from getting
up and into my Jeep to drive to the airport.
I used my free hand to unbutton my
shorts and slide down my zipper, freeing my cock.
Never expect a fairytale when it comes to JR Gray. If you
come looking for it you’ll be disappointed every time. Clouded Hell is pretty
much exactly what it sounds like. First it’s like tough skin, then soon it's
bruised, then slashed, then ripped open. Stick around a little while longer and
concrete shrapnel will be shoved into the healing gash and kept there for all
eternity.
Now if you think this is a negative review than you’ve never
read a JR Gray book. This, I believe, was his goal. Yes, to a degree it’s a
love story. A love story for two very broken men. Life isn’t easy and that’s
the reality of things. Remi and Dante haven’t lived the lives of saints but
that of sinners and have paid the price. Even though when they are with each
other it’s like heaven and hell all wrapped into one. They are supposed to be together.
There’s somewhat a finality to this story and yet it’s open
for more if JR chooses to expand. Remi and Dante seem happy for now but there
is a lot left unsaid, undone, and a lot of healing needed.
This is a gritty tale a brutal beating for the heart and
soul. It’s a mental carnival, and Remi and Dante are very intriguing and
I’d love to have sessions with them to see how they tick.
JR has used his talent and written a wonderful story that
will test you on many levels.
When
not staying up all night writing, J.R. Gray can be found at the gym where it's
half assumed he is a permanent resident to fulfill his self-inflicted
masochism. A dominant and a pilot, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger
seat of any car. He frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep
patterns and conversations, to jot down notes or plot bunnies. Commas are the
bane of his existence even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary,
they continue to baffle and bewilder. If Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not
possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave,
insanity or both. The idea of haunting has always appealed to him. J.R. Gray is
genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns.
