California Creamin’ is an eclectic collection of short stories from the very talented pen of writer William Maltese. This anthology includes stories about cowboys, men in the military, surfer dudes, hustlers and every variety of man love you can possibly imagine. The sex is hot, as expected, and by the time you finish the book you’re sweating and have to find a way to reduce your body temperature.
The adventures are certainly not run of the mill and a few of my favorites are indicated below –
California Creamin’ is a story about surfing and surfer dudes and how the sport has evolved into an avenue for hook-ups. The narrator of this story talks about his conquests with other surfers more than he does about his skill on the board. In one episode he and another surfer, Pete, spend the night in their 2-man tent trying to outdo each other under the sheets. After a night to remember what would two surfers do but ride the waves? That’s exactly how this memorable evening ends, with hot sex while riding the waves and trying to stay balanced on a cool board as the ultimate thrill. Surf’s up.
In What If Roberto Maurez is interviewing 7 candidates for the enviable position of his personal boy-toy; his one stipulation is that physically they must look like pre-pubescent boys even though they are of age. He gives them carte blanche to have sex with the guests and other candidates that evening and Andrew (known as The Black Widower) who has just left his last sugar daddy, and Joey get together to have some fun. These two characters have a great time of the carnal kind but their partying is cut short when Joey, who is not expecting to be selected for the honor of being Roberto’s boy, is told that he has won the “lottery”. There is a twist at the end of this story but you will have to read the book to find out.
In Football, Kenny visits the physiotherapist for some therapy on his foot and causes an unexpected reaction in his therapist who finds out that he really loves feet! Soon Carlo, a member of a rival football team shows up and demands equal treatment from the therapist who is concerned that he could be fired if he is caught making out with a patient. He is blackmailed into seeing Carlo after working hours and Carlo has his way with him. This therapist definitely has a thing of the sexual and kinky kind for feet. Who knew that feet were such an erogenous zone? Then Kenny joins them for a really raunchy threesome. But that’s another story.
All of the stories in California Creaming are extremely well written and are intended to titillate and stimulate your imagination in addition to your other erotic senses. The characters are well drawn and, as expected, feature very good looking men who hook up with the same. The stories run the gamut of men in different professions from cowboys to hustlers to hitchhikers who just want to have and give a good time. William Maltese has done a terrific job on these characters and stories and the reader becomes an unintentional voyeur. I wish I could give you a taste of the other stories in this book but there is only so much time and space. What I can tell you is that you won’t regret buying this book if you’re looking for a really hot read featuring men doing indescribable things to each other.
