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, which is a direct continuation from my previous Hump Day Post for Deadly Enchantment, 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. Dominic has now shifted back into his mortal form, but neither have them has completely recovered from the transition.
Smiling at Damian uncertainly, Serena
murmured, “I believe you may have understated what was going to transpire here,
sir.”
“Trust me, sweet Serena, what
transpired here was as much a surprise to me as it was to you. Had I known, I doubt I would have had the
words to explain it anyway.”
The claiming by a leopard shifting wizard touches more than the body. It envelopes the soul.
