Horny Hump Day - May 29 - Deadly Enchantment #HornyHDay #Shifters #MFRWAuthor


Love comes in many shapes and sizes, but a leopard?

This material is Not Safe For Work. If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

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.  The story revolves around 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 jealous rage on their wedding night.




In this segment, Serena Cunningham and Dominic Westcroft have taken shelter in a vacant cottage from a magical and malevolent storm cast by Dominic's brother, Terrence.  When they are able to deflect the charged lightning with a kiss, they realize their magic combined is far stronger and more resilient than Terrence's expanding web of evil.  Realizing their best chance of vanquishing Terrence requires them to join their powers, Dominic makes love to Serena, fully understanding his claiming her virginity will result in consequences that will change both their lives forever. What neither of them expects, however, is for Dominic to shift during the act.  Serena isn't sure how much of Dominic's personality remains in the mind of his beast, but, like the man, the beast demands her openly given trust in return.  However, when the leopard insistently presses its nose between her legs, Serena doubts her ability to give the animal what it seeks until she accepts neither she nor the man she loves will gain their heart's desire unless the ceremony is completed.


            Once her legs were fully parted, the leopard gingerly stepped over between them then lowered its head and pressed its nose inside her with a hard shove.  Serena gave a little gasp, then with a mere flick of the tip of its rough tongue, the large cat moved again to her side and shifted back into Dominic’s human form.
            When Dominic finally met her gaze he looked as amazed by what had happened as Serena felt, which made her feel a little bit better.


After being marked by the leopard's scent, Serena now must deal with its master.

Sneak Peek Sunday - May 26 - Mortal Illusions #SPeekSunday #Vampires #MFRWAuthor



For a vampire, love means watching someone you care about die.

For Sneak Peek Sunday, each author shares six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).

My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.


In this excerpt, which is the beginning of the first chapter, Germaine St. Justine has sensed his former lover's pain, and visits her in the hospital in an effort to ease her suffering.
.

             He gave the handless door a push.  It swung open without a sound.  Slipping inside, he kept a steadying hand upon it while it closed.  His tread as silent as the mist, he approached the softly lit bed and gazed down at the figure tautly curved in a pain-filled slumber.  Though she was turned away from him, Germaine saw at once how this illness had robbed her.  Her glorious brown hair, which once curled softly about her neck and shoulders, was now gray and less than an inch long.  Her figure, once slender but sweetly curved was now all bones and sharp angles.  Her body, which once challenged and nearly won a game of night tennis from him, was now too weak for anything but sleep.
            Like a thief in the night, the cancer had taken everything of value from her but her life,  leaving little more than an emaciated body, unable to eat or breathe without the aid of the thin plastic umbilical lines that sustained it.  He knew all this and more, yet she'd never told him of it.
            She hadn't needed to.
            He stood for a moment watching her sleep, allowing his senses to absorb the many changes in her that his mind alone could not detect--such as her scent.  Even the hospital's acrid antiseptics couldn't mask the essence of death’s perfume from his preternatural senses.  A bittersweet fragrance that painfully confirmed what his probing mind had already surmised.
            Wishing he had the power to grant her another half-century of life, he closed his senses to all but her and concentrated on forcing air in and out of his lungs until his breathing matched hers and his heart mimicked the shallow but steady beat of her own.  Fully attuned, he leaned over and brushed a kiss upon her temple.
Her lips curved into a half-smile, half-grimace, but she did not waken.  Placing a trail of kisses along her jaw, he stopped at the pulsing beat just below her ear.

Saturday Spankings - May 25 - A Dom's Dilemma #SatSpanks #BDSM #MFRWAuthor


For the Wet and Wild Bloghop, please click HERE!


She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.


In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who by day works as a police detective and by night lives and plays as a Dom, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam. When Kelly goes ballistic, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction.  After giving her repeated opportunities to use her safeword, Jim is left with little choice.  She is being disrespectful, defiant and acting like a brat, all of which screams punishment to a Dom.


             "Oww!  Go fuck yourself, you sadist!"
            Smack.  Smack.  Smack.  Jim continued to apply his hand with each thwack delivered more firmly than the one that preceded it.
            After he'd landed ten hard-handed swats, she sobbed out, "No more!  Please!"  Knowing he couldn't stop simply because she demanded it, he dispensed five more to the sobbing girl before he paused for a moment.
            "I got to say I'm real disappointed in your behavior right now, sub.  Real disappointed.”  Though she cried even harder at those words, she still didn’t call out her safe word.  Considering how frantic her actions had been, that surprised him.  But it pleased him, too, since it meant she would rather accept a punishment at his hand than call an end to their association.


Though Jim can be strict, he likes a bit of spunk in a sub.  However, Kelly has crossed a line even he can't permit.

Horny Hump Day - May 22 - Mortal Illusions #HornyHDay #Vampires #MFRWAuthor

For the Wet and Wild Bloghop, please click HERE!



Most vampires drink blood, but not all of them go for the neck.

This snippet occurs about a third way into the book after Claire Daniels has finally convinced Germaine St. Justine, the two hundred year-old vampire, she hopes will ultimately save her brother's life, to make love. Claire's convinced herself she knows what she's getting into, but she's about to discover she's wrong.  Possibly, dead wrong.
.

             Her entire body quivering with involuntary tremors of arousal, Claire released Germaine's head to grab a handful of the bedclothes.  Poised on the brink of what promised to be the most glorious climax she'd ever known, she felt him gently pierce her flesh, and the ecstasy she'd experienced when he'd pricked her finger was intensified a thousand times over.    It was as if every pleasure center in her body was being stroked simultaneously.



Though a vampire's bite can be painful, the pleasure it ultimately brings is pure ecstasy.

Sneak Peek Sunday-May 19-Deadly Enchantment #SPeekSunday #MFRWAuthor



An unhappy shape shifter can be a dangerous companion....

For Sneak Peek Sunday authors share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).


My submission for this week is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment.  A shapeshifting wizard romance set in Victorian England published by New Concepts Publishing, 




In this excerpt, which occurs near the end of the first Chapter and immediately follows my April 28th Sneak Peek Sunday, Dominic Westcroft has returned from London to discover his sister has invited several young women to his home, so he can select a new bride.  Except, Dominic has no intention of ever marrying again.


             “Innocent and not guilty are not at all the same thing, sister dear.  The council concluded there was not enough evidence to convict me of Felicity’s murder, but they did not find me innocent.  In truth, I rather suspected they thought I did commit the crime, but felt it was an uncontrollable act of passion rather than a deliberate killing.”
            “So, which is it?” she inquired with a lift of her chin.  When he didn’t answer, she prompted, “You’ve been trying to convince me for years that our brother possesses a nature so evil that it is beyond my comprehension to accept it, going so far as to suggest he was responsible for the death of my husband.  Do you mean to say now that he is wholly innocent of the crimes which you’ve accused him?”
            Dominic clenched his fingers into a fist, then slowly opened them to lay them flat on the desk again.  “The blackness of Terrence’s soul is not what’s at issue here,” he replied through gritted teeth.
            “Then what, precisely, is at issue here?”
            He regarded her with open astonishment.  “The fact that you invited ten women to my home on the pretext I would choose one for my wife is what’s at issue here.”  Afraid of what he might do, he took a deep breath and leaned back.  “Your memory may not be quite as good as you believe, Mrs. Sinclair, or you’d recall the night I held my torn and bleeding bride in my arms that I made a vow.  And whether or not I was the one who ripped Felicity to pieces, I was definitely the one ultimately responsible.  I don’t know what happened that night, because I-can’t-remember."  He drew in a breath as the physical manifestation of his fury wound its way up the velvet curtains to the ceiling where it seeped through as if no barrier existed.  "However, since they found me naked, Felicity mauled and Terrence bleeding, I fully accept the premise that my beast took control of me that night.  So, I hardly think that bringing ten women to the lair of a potential murderer was a very intelligent thing to do.  Therefore, for the sake of their innocent lives, and your own, I insist you send them back.  Today,” he emphasized through his tightly clenched jaw.
            Undaunted by his growl or his very obvious anger, Regina stood and leaned toward him.  “No,” she replied simply.


Though Dominic loves his sister dearly, at the moment he'd like nothing better than to wring her lovely neck.

Saturday Spankings - May 18 - Arrested by Love #SatSpanks #Spanking #MFRWAuthor



He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first spanking novel, Arrested by Love, published by Blushing Books.



  In this scene, which is a direct continuation from my April 20 entry, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone.  Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled.  It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees.  Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him.  Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice.  She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving.  It doesn't help matters any when Tiffany compounds her infraction by swearing at Kyle, but he remains resolute


       Watching Tiffany take a deep breath, Kyle was not all that surprised when she said, "Look, Kyle, I want to be reasonable about this, but, sixty-six swats is not reasonable by any stretch of the imagination."
       He shrugged. "I guess this is where you and I will have to agree to disagree."
       "It's ludicrous, insane and totally out of the question."
       He leaned in closer. "Tiffany Anne Morgan, school zone speed limits are established for a purpose, and there are penalties for violating them. Severe penalties. What's worse is the rest of this neighborhood has a speed limit of 35. So, even if I were to discount the school zone violation, you were still driving ten miles an hour over the limit. In the middle of January. With patches of black ice covering the road. And that, my sweet, is totally unforgivable and deserving of every swat I give you." When she opened her mouth, he raised a finger to let her know he wasn't finished.
       "Furthermore, since your five minutes are up, I'm going to add one swat for every minute you delay in giving me your decision."


Hmm.  Kyle loves Tiffany, but he takes her safety and obedience seriously.  Besides, in his mind the darling minx deserves this spanking at the very least.

Horny Hump Day - May 15 - Acting Lessons #HornyHDay #Spanking #MFRWAuthor




Splendorous things can happen when the mind and body are in tune.

This material is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome back to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences.  And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....


My submission for this week is an unedited sneak peek from my current WIP (Work In Progress) tentatively titled, Acting Lessons.

He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.




In this scene, which occurs in chapter six directly following my March 20 entry, Peter Thorton has just finished giving his wife, Kate, a relatively mild spanking for defying his instructions, and is preparing to make love to her for the first time in over two years.  Peter adores Kate, but he's not above teasing her a little by ignoring her silent pleas to make her verbalize what she wants.


            "Are you trying to torture me?" Kate asked, her hips rising in a silent demand for his attention.
            One eyebrow arched as wicked fingers teased her breasts until her nipples hardened into small pebbles of need.  When she closed her eyes with a moan, Peter murmured, "They say torture is good for the soul."




Acting Lessons has been accepted by Blushing Books.  No word on a publication date yet, so while I'm waiting, I'll share some more.



I hope you enjoyed this sneak preview. Your comments are encouraged. Please stop by the  Horny Hump Day blog site  to get a peek at some of the other author's fine offerings.

Sneak Peek Sunday - May 12 - A Dom's Dilemma #BDSM #SPeekSunday #MFRWAuthor



He demanded her obedience, but what she wanted was his love.

It's Sneak Peek Sunday again and that means I get to share another 6 paragraphs from one of my books.  Yay!

My submission for this week is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, a BDSM/spanking novel that is sometimes playful, sometimes serious and sometimes terrifying, published by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love.  Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.



In this excerpt, near the end of Chapter Thirteen and directly following my Sneak Peek of April 14, Kelly Franklin is recovering at Jim's home after receiving an exceptionally harsh and severe paddling administered by her new Dom, Jim Evans.  They have only known each other for a few days, so they are still learning each other's wants, needs and desires.  He has told her unequivocally that there will be no sex between them until he determines she's ready for it.  However, now that Kelly's feeling better, her body isn't in total agreement with Jim's edict.  He has granted her permission to take a shower, and this is the first time he has left her alone during their three days together.  Turned on by the scent of his shampoo, her first attempt at pleasuring herself didn't produce very satisfying results.
.
* * * * *
             She'd had an orgasm building for a while, but surprisingly it wasn't as much of a release as she thought it would be.  Could it be she was experiencing schoolgirl guilt for cheating when the teacher was out of the room?  She thought about that.  There was something kind of sexy about facing Jim as the stern professor and she the naughty little school girl, but he wouldn't allow any fooling around until he'd declared her totally fit, and she was still a little too sore to even contemplate a playful spanking.
            Though she had no desire to repeat the experience, and even the thought of having to endure another paddling gave her chills, there had been something exciting about being stretched over Jim's firmly muscled thighs.  Thinking back to Friday night and how absolutely terrified she'd been, she also recalled how stern and strict, yet gentle and careful he'd been with her.  And she found the combination incredibly hot.
            Putting her hand back between her legs, she thought about how he'd handled her so masterfully.  He told her everything that was going to happen, how he wanted it done, how he wanted her positioned and then quietly stroked her until she was calm and centered enough to ask him to begin.  He kept his voice low and commanding until he even dictated each breath she took.  Kelly arched her neck so her head rested against the shower wall.  Then he'd worked her with a steady, even precision.
            Kelly remembered how his tightly controlled strength and power had consumed her until she was helpless to do anything but ride the wave he built for her.  As she recalled the way she'd flown, a delicious tension started to build inside her again, and she gave herself over to the exquisite sensation of flying under a master's guidance.  Her Master.  He'd directed everything until all she had to do was let go and she was suddenly weightless and free.  No worries.  No pain.  No real sensation at all.  Only a continuous rhythmic pounding, which kept her up in the air as long as he was guiding and supporting her.  And he did … every step of the way.
            Kelly let out a loud "Ahhh" as she came, then pressed against the wall with a sigh of repletion.  She closed her eyes relishing the afterglow until her butt made contact with the slippery tile.  With a tiny yelp, she realized where she was and quickly washed her hair then hurriedly finished her shower.  She winced.  Okay, she'd just broken another cardinal rule, and if he ever found out, he'd make her pay.  Knowing him, he'd probably torture her like he did at the club, bringing her oh-so-close until everything inside her tightened with building desire, and then denying her permission to come.  It was an exquisite, excruciating torture to hold back such deep, pulsing need, which kept building and building, until she finally gave in with a screaming climax.
            Except, this time he'd make her wait interminable.  He might even send her home aching and miserable, forbidding her to touch herself or bring herself relief in any way.  Her body was his to have, pleasure and torment, and he'd no doubt insist she wait until he was ready to take her flying again.  Oh, God.  She was going to be grounded big time for this.
