Has it really been a month since Valentine's Day? Sigh. Welcome to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even classic literature we think you’ll like.
This post for HHD is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment. A shape-shifting wizard romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Deadly Enchantment concerns a young psychic woman facing off with the dark wizard of Ravenscroft, who she is convinced has brutally slaughtered her sister in a fit of jealousy on their wedding night.
In this week's segment, Serena Cunningham is being tortured by magically induced erotic dreams where her dream lover arouses her until she begs him for more, then leaves her aching and unsatisfied. The problem is, she isn't sure who's doing this to her. And her very handsome host, Dominic Westcroft, has shown himself to be a man who will do anything to get exactly what he wants. By this point she is exhausted, throbbing with need, and totally unaware she'd been crying out in her sleep when she is awakened by a thunderous pounding at her door.

“Are you all right?” he inquired from the hallway, his voice harsh and tense.
When she merely nodded, he added, “You were sobbing. Is something wrong?”
A part of her wanted to ask if he was tormenting her in her sleep, but aside from not wanting to give him any satisfaction if he was responsible, she suspected if he wasn’t the one tormenting her, and she were to admit what was happening that he would insist upon tending to her himself, which was something she couldn’t allow to happen again.

I hope you enjoyed this nibble. Your comments are encouraged. Please stop by the Horny Hump Day site and hop around to the authors’ sites, and you'll never look at Wednesday the same way.
great selection for this week. i look forward to your next contribution. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a dilemma for her! I hope she gets to the bottom of this soon--and to some satisfaction! Great nibble.
ReplyDeleteThat must be awfully frustrating. Dreams are so uncontrollable -- you're kinda stuck with what you get. Hopefully, she'll find out what's behind them soon. Wonderful snippet and wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that it only takes three little sentences to make me want to buy a book! A. Because orgasm denial is HORRIBLE! B. Because orgasm denial is fantastic sexual tension. C. Because I have to know if she gets relief! WANT THIS BOOK! Great 3, so hot and filled with tension!

Sounds like a very original concept for a romance! I also hope she gets some relief soon, from both the dreams and the orgasm denial.
ReplyDeleteHer angst is really clear in this snippet. Great writing.
ReplyDeleteNice snippet, honey! Got me hungry for more! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm running late today, but I wanted to thank you all for your comments. You made my day. And you made me something else, too, after I read all your entries. Off to see the hubby now. Bye.
