Excerpt

Wade had mentioned it’d be another couple of days before they were rescued. She hoped that Rullix creep wouldn’t pick up their signal and find them. Last thing she wanted was to run into that alien again.

She turned and stepped out of the waterfall to grab her clothes. After wiping the water from her eyes, Charm blinked and gazed upon Mr. Tinns. His soiled pants and shirt were more tattered rags than actual clothes. Stunned silent by his presence, she froze in place and stared at him.

“My, my, my, wot we got here? Come for a cool drink of wadder an find myself in yer presence. Been lookin’ fur ya.” He grinned. Dark gaps in his mouth revealed several missing teeth. “See my mouth? Dis iz wot that fella did ta me when ya dizappeared.”

“I thought Ted was your friend.” Charm glanced at her clothes. Hidden under them were her revolver and the knife. Little good that does me at the moment. How could she have let her guard down? The men are going to be so upset with me.

The man advanced. Charm let out the loudest scream she’d ever vocalized in her life. It didn’t deter him, though. Mr. Tinns continued his approach, backing her up against the rock wall and trapping her.

She covered her chest with her arms, trying to come up with an idea on how to get around him and flee the scene. Maybe the guys were right. She was trouble.

“Oh, come now, darlin’. Don’t be like that. Let me see yur purdy titties. Maybe even yur kitty that’s hidden betwixt yur legs. It’z the least ya can do fur wot I’ve gone through since ya ran off.”

Having nowhere to go but down, she sank to the ground, figuring she could slink over to her weapons if given the chance.

“Datz it. Datz where yur meant ta be. Good gurl.” The trader reached toward her, but before he could bend down and touch her, the loud retort of the shotgun echoed in the cavern and the valley. His mouth dropped open, and blood trickled out. He fell down on top of her.

A loud ringing filled her hearing. She didn’t even hear her own shriek, though her throat strained with the effort.

Blurb

Charm knows how to get what she wants, but when faced with opposition, she tends to make bad choices. After a plan to subdue a Rullix goes wrong, Charm forces her way into two Auraths’ lives. They have a ship after all and can help her escape Earth and the Rullix.

Step-brothers, Thorne and Wade, are discussing Earth and mates when Charm dives into their presence. Each man believes her to be the partner he’s been waiting for. The men allow her passage in their spaceship, but are shot down by the Rullix and crash in a canyon.

Charm finds them sanctuary, yet even in the middle of nowhere, she still gets into trouble. Thorne and Wade have to figure out how to travel to Aurath before Charm’s bad choices lead to their demise.

Michaela Rhua Visits with her new F/F Release!

Staying in the past or stepping into the future?

Thank you for having me on your blog. Well 2015 has started in a superb way with a new release. However 2014 was not a productive year writing wise but the last few months my brain kicked in and inspiration returned in the form of this series called Moon Maidens – a FF or lesbian series. Book 1 called Moon Maidens is out now.

So what has 2014 taught me? Life is to be lived. The past is exactly that – the past. We should not dwell on it so much that it colours everything we do. Learn from our experiences and move on. The future is ahead of us, like a blank open page to write, create and live.

But what happens when the past comes and hits you in the face? Raya discovers something about her past that could damage what she has started to build with Amari. They reach that point where Raya has to decide whether she keeps her foot in the past or steps into the future. Well you’ll have to read the book to find out what happens. But here is a little bit more about my girls.

Blurb.

A quick pick up and a night of sex was just what Raya was looking for. Only meeting Amari set her insides on fire and she had to have more of this Indian beauty. Witches and shifters aren’t meant to bond only Raya and Amari can’t ignore the chemistry flowing between them. Trouble strikes the lovers when a past trauma hits Raya and Amari’s mother could be to blame. Finally Raya has a chance to get even with the old witch, who destroyed her life. When that revenge reveals that Raya’s past holds secrets she wasn’t aware of, it throws into question everything she believes in. Can the lovers unite to help Raya find her true self or is it all too late?

Excerpt.

"Good morning Amari. Sorry I couldn't wait," Raya said. She pulled off her sneakers one by one, followed by her sports socks.

Amari held out her hand, inviting her across. Raya's eyes lit up and she began to walk across the shallow water. Suddenly she stopped and looked down at her feet, confusion written across her face. Raya backed away, out of the water.

"You okay?"

"Err…yeah. Why don't you come across here?" Raya suggested.

Amari did not hesitate, pulling up her dress to skip across the cool water, leaving her sandals behind. Once across, Raya grabbed her hand and pulled her into her. Both girls looked at each other. Raya’s deep green eyes shone back at Amari.

"You're beautiful…" began Raya, but she was silenced by Amari who pulled Raya's head down in a rough kiss. Instantly there was a connection, sparks of energy flew around them and Amari's body began to heat up. Lips meshed and tongues played, dancing and teasing. Their hands explored and grabbed each other's bodies to get closer, wanting no space between them.

Ray moaned into Amari's mouth. Amari pulled away.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?"

"Are you kidding me?" Raya said, pulling her back into a kissing that almost hurt with the fierce passion that was behind it. Amari's mouth sizzled against Raya's; never had she experienced something this strong straight away. She pulled at Raya's T-shirt, wanting nothing between them; skin on skin was her desire. Raya helped her out by holding her arms up and Amari pulled the T-shirt off. Underneath she wore a simple cotton bra that cradled her breasts. Amari slid off one strap and kissed the soft skin of her neck, then shoulder. She felt Raya's hand massage the back of her head, keeping her in that position. So she likes to be kissed there. With a new lover, it was always a learning experience; what they liked and didn’t like was stored in your memory. She was enjoying learning about Raya. She pulled down one cup to reveal a perfect breast with an erect pink nipple. Raya wasted no time: she sucked it straight away and then used her teeth to bite gently. This released another moan from Raya's lips. Amari smiled, looking up at Raya.

"You like a little pain?" Amari carried on sucking Raya's breasts with gentle bites. She moved her hand down Raya’s front and edged it into her joggers and down to her panties, which to Amari's delight were a little moist. She rubbed Raya's mound, letting the tips of her fingers slide down further. Raya spread her legs a little; that meant Amari could reach further. Massaging that pussy was not enough, she wanted to taste. Amari grabbed Raya's joggers, pulled them all the way down and then knelt at her feet.

Raya's legs were long and toned, probably with all that jogging. Amari stroked them up and down, dragging her nails closer and closer to her bare pussy that glistened, inviting her to taste. Amari stepped back to look at Raya. She was amazing with flawless skin, breasts that fitted into Amari's hands and topped off with her red hair that looked like it was fire when the sun caught it.

"Lie down, Raya."

"No, I want you naked too," Raya replied.

Amari hesitated for a moment, her hands shaking, because not everyone appreciated her fuller figure.

"Go on, let me see you."

Amari took a deep breath and pulled her dress off. Raya's mouth opened and her eyes deepened in color. Amari could feel heat emanating from Raya's body; it was one of those gifts her mother said she possessed, reading people's feelings. Sometimes that was through the colors that surrounded them or the energy in the air, this time it was through the warmth of Raya's body that drifted to her and pulled her in.

"You are perfect, Amari." Raya stepped towards her and stroked her shoulder. More warmth filled Amari as she felt Raya's hands stroke her breasts, down her waist to her needy pussy.

Jacey Holbrand visits with Breeding Seth (Mpreg RotG)!

Congrats to Skyekiloh for winning my Evernights Holiday Hangover Blog Hop!!!

Could you tell us some background on the story/series, like how did you come up your characters and story?

~ The two main characters came about when Evernight Publishing put out an anthology call for office type romances. For it, I came up with the idea of The Agency, a company that helps people with activity concerning their paranormal and supernatural issues, and the one hero, Evan Zenas, a very serious agent who carries a secret about an alien encounter. In the first story, The Encounter, a young man, Seth Trivos, comes to work at The Agency. He and Evan knew each other in the past, but due to certain circumstances at that time, they couldn’t pursue their feelings for each other. The short story, The Encounter, wasn’t chosen for the anthology, but it was offered a home as a regular release. I almost doubled the word count and resubmitted it. After some reader reviews, I realized I needed to expand upon Evan and Seth’s relationship and round it out more. But what to write? I hadn’t a clue. That is until I spoke with another friend of mine who happens to be a writer as well and we did a bit of brainstorming. From that session, I came up with the idea of Seth having a pregnancy scare. That being said, my original concept of a bunch of different stories following different peoples’ dealings with paranormal and supernatural activities changed with the writing of Breeding Seth. I don’t want to give too much away here, but if you read the book, you’ll see the angle the series will be taking. ;)

Blurb for Breeding Seth

    Seth is pregnant.

Be warned: m/m sex, anal sex, male pregnancy

Excerpt:

Evan’s hot breath warmed his face, but Seth didn’t mind, especially in light of having his wish granted. His eyes fluttered closed as Evan’s lips found his, but it wasn’t an easy-going, lingering kiss. Evan threw his arms around him in a tight hold and claimed his mouth with wild abandon. Seth’s head reeled. He assisted Evan in removing his pack and then his shirt.

“You know what? Even though we’re probably not supposed to be off the trail and trekking over, and fucking behind, rocks not designated as a public area, this is kinda hot, isn’t it?” Evan unfastened his shorts.

Too happy and eager to be with his love, Seth nodded and unbuttoned his own shorts. Desire rushed through Seth and clawed at his insides. Once again, he embraced Evan, moving his hands up and down Evan’s muscular back. He pressed his lips upon Evan’s and then swept his tongue out, forcing Evan to open his mouth. Seth adored the taste of him, salty and spicy from the barbeque and salad, and loved his scent of leather and earth as well. It seemed like he’d waited forever to have Evan in his arms and his body close to his in such a setting. Evan’s lips trailed down his neck, and Seth reached up and cupped the back of his boyfriend’s head.

“God, Zen, I want you so bad.”

“Yeah?” Evan freed Seth’s cock from his shorts and underwear.

His heated touch seared Seth’s skin, tantalizing him to become rock hard. Seth traveled his hands up Evan’s arms to his shoulders, then slowly smoothed them down his chest, feeling all the nuances of his muscles until he came upon the waistband of Evan’s shorts. He removed Evan’s cock from the confines of the clothes and then rubbed their dicks together.

Evan leaned his forehead on his. “God, Seth, I love how that feels.”

“I do too, but what I’d really like is to feel your hot, moist mouth wrap around my cock.”

Reaching out, Evan grabbed the top of Seth’s shorts, sweeping his fingers between the material and his skin. A devilish grin graced Evan’s face as he yanked and pulled down Seth’s shorts.

Not only did Evan rouse his libido in all sorts of sexy ways by just being him, Seth felt free, as light as the few fluffy white clouds in the sky. He stepped out of the clothing at his feet, delighting in the way Evan’s gaze roamed over his body.

As if knowing it was being viewed, Seth’s cock bobbed. Evan pushed his legs apart, knelt down on the red sand and situated himself in front of Seth. Lightly grasping Seth’s penis, Evan bent forward and kissed it, then licked under its rim, circling the hard length a few times. Blissful tingles raced along Seth’s cock then swept out along all his nerves. He sucked in a stream of air. “Zen, quit being a tease and suck it already.”
