Sa Chaleur dans ma Bouche Ce livre est pour un public averti : contenues explicites et pour des hommes qui aiment d'autres hommes . Théo Delmas, 24 ans, jeune avocat idéaliste, voit sa vie basculer quand son père, cadre financier innocent, est incarcéré pour un scandale qu'il n'a pas commis. Lors de l'audience, il remarque un juge aux yeux gris qui fixe sa bouche avec une intensité troublante. Convoqué au cabinet du juge Édouard Delacroix, Théo découvre l'horrible vérité : Delacroix a lui-même fabriqué les preuves contre son père, uniquement pour attirer Théo à lui. Obsédé par sa bouche depuis qu'il l'a vu à une conférence, le juge propose un marché : chaque soir, Théo viendra s'agenouiller dans son bureau et utilisera sa bouche pour supplier, servir et donner du plaisir. En échange, son père sera libéré. Tiraillé entre l'horreur et un désir naissant qu'il refuse d'admettre, Théo accepte. Les soirées s'enchaînent, les gestes deviennent plus intimes, plus profonds. Delacroix explore sa bouche avec une lenteur méthodique, apprenant chaque recoin, chaque sensation. Théo, malgré la honte, découvre en lui un besoin d'obéissance et d'abandon qu'il ignorait. Au fil des nuits, leur relation évolue. La simple soumission forcée laisse place à une complicité trouble, à des confidences, à des moments de vraie tendresse. Mais le danger rôde : d'autres protagonistes menacent leur équilibre, et la frontière entre victime et amant, entre geôlier et amoureux, devient de plus en plus floue. Une dark romance érotique M/M où la bouche devient le centre de tous les pouvoirs : celui de supplier, d'aimer, de trahir, et finalement de choisir.
