Sneak Peek at my next romance - Eternal Bonds

Eternal Bonds 

A vampire menage erotic romance from Siren Publishing

Release date: July 2nd, 2013

Duncan and Jared live quietly, just a vampire and his guardian. When fate drops Tabi into their lives, sparks fly and everything changes.

Story excerpt

One minute they’d all been sitting around the table and the next minute Tabi found herself the filling in a man-sandwich straight out of her wildest fantasies. She dragged a hit of air into her lungs and caught the scent of both men as they surrounded her. Her breasts instantly tightened and her pussy tingled as she felt the hard, muscled bodies of both men press into her. Two hot, handsome bodies that had moved so fast they’d been a blur. That thought snapped her back to the present with a crash.

“Let me go!”

“No, lass. Not until you’ve calmed down.”

“You’re telling me to calm down again? Didn’t you learn anything from the last time we had this conversation? You can’t just tell me to be calm every time the weird-shit-meter hits eleven!”

She felt Jared’s chest vibrate with laughter and she turned her head to glower at him. “And you! Care to explain how you did that? No one moves that fast unless they’re from the planet Krypton!’

“Boss? I think we’re going to have to explain.”

“Indeed,” Duncan sighed. “Did you have to move like that? You scared her.”

“Me? You were the one who had her ready to bolt like a scalded cat!”

“Guys? Hello? She is standing right here and she’d really like some answers!” Tabi was getting tired of being talked about like she didn’t have ears. In an attempt to get some breathing room she worked a hand between herself and each of their chests intent on pushing them away, but the act of rubbing her way up their hard bodies started another line of thinking altogether. Her thoughts derailed into a pileup of hot fantasies and lust, and instead of pushing she simply left her fingers splayed across two solid walls of male muscle.

Both men pushed in closer, until she was caught between twin pillars of sex and heat that had her blood simmering and her brain mushy. Jared covered her hand with his so that it was held firmly just over his heart while Duncan turned her until his mouth could capture hers. This time his kiss was gentle, tender and intended to comfort, and Tabi was too overwhelmed by her desires to do anything else but tangle her fingers into Duncan’s shirt and pull him in closer as she answered his kiss in kind.

Jared lifted his hand from her shoulder to sweep her hair back from her neck, dropping delicate kisses along the edge of the bandage.

“Mine,” Duncan growled in warning and tugged her harder against him, pulling her a half step away from Jared.

“No,” Jared growled back and moved in behind her, sandwiching her between them.

Duncan lifted his head and Tabi gasped as she saw his eyes. They were incandescent, glowing so brightly that it was as if there was a fire burning inside him.

This time Tabi did push away from him, straight back into Jared’s arms.

“What are you?” She managed to keep from screaming the question at Duncan, hanging onto her sanity by the barest of threads. What the hell had she just been kissing?

Jared wrapped his arms around her and stepped back from Duncan, taking Tabi with him. “Boss, you need to chill.”

Who were these two, the masters of understatement? “No, he needs to stop growling and glowing and tell me what the hell is going on! And both of you need to stop kissing me until I get some answers. My brain doesn’t work well when it’s drowning in hormones.” Oh god, she just said that out loud.

“Hormones?” Both men echoed her last word and Tabi nearly screamed with frustration. “Out of everything I said, you two focused on that word?” she snapped and tried pulling herself out of Jared’s embrace. She managed to twist slightly, but that was all. He was impossibly strong.

“This is going well,” Jared quipped in rueful tones.

“You’re not helping,” Duncan snarled, revealing a pair of long canines as he ran a hand through his hair, pulling it out of its customary tie. His eyes were only glowing a little now, but Tabi was too busy staring at his mouth and fighting Jared’s hold to really notice.

“You’ve got fangs? When did you get fangs?”

“Oh yeah, this is going fucking brilliantly.” Jared tightened his hold on Tabi and dropped his mouth to her ear. “It’s all right, honey. Neither of us is going to hurt you, but you’re going to hurt yourself if you keep struggling.”

Tabi stopped trying to get away and went still, finally accepting there was no point, not when Jared was so much stronger than she was. “Answers. I want answers right now or I’m going to start screaming.”

“Sure thing,” Jared drawled and loosened his hold on her slightly as he nuzzled her hair. “Duncan there is a three hundred year old vampire and I’ve been his guardian and companion for more than seventy-five years. You got your throat torn open by another vampire, and that’s why Duncan had to bring you back here.”

She’d heard enough, these men were insane.

Adult Excerpt

Jared’s arms snaked around her and he half walked, half lifted her into shower. Her back was to his chest and the hot water hit her from all sorts of interesting angles as Jared’s lips found her ear and he nibbled his way along the curve and down to her lobe. “You’re ours now, little mouse. That means we’re both going to take care of you, in every way a man can.”

“I’m going to have to quit my job just to have enough energy to keep up.”

Duncan leaned in and kissed her, his mouth warm and wet. “If it doesn’t make you happy, don’t do it anymore. I’d say life is too short, but the truth is life is too long for people like us. You have lifetimes to look forward to.”

“Lifetimes with the two of you.” The idea made Tabi’s head swim with the possibilities and her heart overflow with happiness. “I think I can handle that.”

“Good. Glad to hear it.” Jared nipped her earlobe lightly. “Now, shut up and kiss me too. We can talk later.”

“Pushy!” Tabi yelped as his teeth closed on her ear again and then he was turning her around to kiss her, his mouth plundering hers as his big body sheltered her from most of the pounding water. Dizzy from the heat and blood loss, Tabi swayed a little and Duncan’s arm curved around her waist and drew her up against him. “I have you, lover.”

“Hold onto her will you? I have a plan,” Jared grinned and began kissing his way down her body. His mouth suckled and nibbled at her breasts, feasting on them for a while before he moved lower, finally dropping to his knees so that he could kiss a ring around her navel before making his way down to her pussy. Her pulse was racing again and need was bubbling up inside her as she experienced the still new sensation of being with two men. Two sets of hands touching her, two beings devoted to her pleasure. The feeling was better than she could have imagined. The stubble on Jared’s jaw rasped over her inner thighs as he nuzzled between them, his hands gently but firmly parting her legs until she was completely exposed.

“This is a sight to welcome a man home,” he proclaimed before swiping his tongue over the length of her pussy, making her moan as sparks sizzled over her flesh at his touch.

He used his thumbs to part her labia and groaned with lust. “I may not be able to make you come just with a love bite, but I bet I can make you scream using just my mouth.”

“No bet.”

Jared’s only answer was a wicked chuckle as he pressed his face between her thighs and began to devour her pussy. Duncan’s arms stayed secure around her, holding her up as her knees gave way.

It only took a few flicks of Jared’s talented tongue for Tabi to know that the effects of Duncan’s bite hadn’t completely left her system. Her libido roared back to life with a vengeance, soaking her cunt and setting fire to her blood yet again.

“Jared!” The wail broke from her lips before she could stop it and she felt more than heard his satisfied growl of response. The world spun and Tabi closed her eyes and fought against the urge to get carried off by the storm he’d ignited. As he drew the delicate pearl out of its protective hood and captured it between his teeth a bolt of raw lust shot through her and she screamed again, her entire body shuddering as she came. She’d never been a screamer before, but with these two, she couldn’t seem to stop.

Starbursts were still dancing in her vision when Jared’s hands landed on her hips, both men turning her around so that she was bent over with her hands braced against cool marble and her feet splayed far apart.

 “Stay just like that.” Jared’s drawl was as thick as molasses, a sure sign he was not quite in control. She’d already learned that the stronger her men’s accents got, the hornier they were. Tabi smiled to herself as she braced herself and then glanced over her shoulder at Jared. His chest had a mottled bruise rising over one pectoral. “You’re hurt.” She started to move and Jared shook his head, his big hands clamping around her waist. “It’s already healing. Let me love you, Tabi. That’s the only thing I need right now. I need to be inside you.”

“Sexual healing is a song, it doesn’t work like that in real life,” she muttered as Jared draped himself over her to drop a path of butterfly kisses along her spine.

“It can work, when it’s the right people,” Duncan’s hands stroked up the underside of her body to cup her breast as Jared’s mouth continued to blaze a trail down her back. “When fate takes a hand, anything can happen.”

Duncan found her nipples, tugging and rolling them between his fingertips. Desire simmered and then flared and she leaned backward, pressing her ass against the steel shaft of Jared’s cock.

“Don’t tempt me,” Jared warned her as he smoothed a hand over the curve of her bottom, working his finger into the crack to press against her anus for a brief moment. “Tonight’s not the right time, but soon this pretty ass is going to belong to me.”

“Duncan’s right, you talk too much.” Tabi deliberately wriggled against him and grinned when she caught the sound of his breath hissing over his teeth.

 “You inspire me.” Jared placed his hands between her thighs and spread her wide, rocking his hips so that the tip of his cock brushed over her slick entrance.

Split Focus

This past weekend I finished one of my WIP’s and it’s sitting quietly on hold until a few other elements fall into place. With that project out of the way I was free to tackle a few others while I waited for the edits on Eternal Bonds to land in my inbox.

It’s not my usual style to juggle multiple projects. I tend see them through to completion, one after the other, but lately I’ve been working on more than one thing just to keep writing. When I hit a wall with one, I just switch over. It seems to be working too, though I did end up giving the wrong character an accent for a whole paragraph before I realized what I’d done. Oops.

As a result of this juggling, I found myself looking at the manuscript for Alistair’s Bed this weekend, with an eye to revising it. I will confess it was a bit scary to start looking over my first published work again. I’ve learned a lot since I first penned that tale, and I was not at all sure my ego was going to be up for a return visit. I’m happy to report my ego survived more or less intact, and I’ve opted to rework both of my Daemon and Angel series books, along with new covers and the whole shebang.  My goal is to have the new editions up on Amazon by July , 2013.

The other thing I’ve been working on is a novella which is now one third complete and should be submitted to my publisher by early June. It’s sci-fi, a genre dear to my heart but not one I’ve written in before, and I have had a lot of fun with it so far. The break has been good for me, but I have promises to keep and other series to get back to before the voices in my head start organizing a rebellion because they’re feeling ignored.

Eternal Bonds edits arrived this morning, and so for the next few days I’m going to be wearing a lot of different hats as I try to make progress on all my projects. It’s time to see just how many ways I can split my focus before something gets lost in the chaos. I’m betting it’ll be the housework. 

So what are all of you up to this week?

Blurb:

Piper Andrews is a secret romance author who has had nothing but bad luck all her life. Making a decision she hopes is the best, she moves in with her friend Sam, who lives in the small town of Lucky, Montana. Picking up what is left of her life, Piper is determined to finally get the luck in life she craves. However when a secret crush reappears, Piper is overcome with desire and for once in her life unsure what to do next.

Just out of the Marine Corps, Milo decides to make a new start with family and friends in his hometown of Lucky. Trying to keep his past in his past, he ends up running face to face with a fiery redhead who turns his world upside down. The downfall is that she is his sister’s best friend. Will Milo put away his fears to finally give in to the desires he now has for her?

STORY EXCERPT

Milo was still lost at having woken up in bed with Piper. Sam had filled in the gaps as to her staying with her now. He was happy that Sam had someone to help her with the store. “So, Milo, why are you really here? You were due to get out, but I thought you were going to stay in. What the hell happened over there?” Sam was pouring the cup of coffee for him while getting the sugar from the cupboard. He could not stand sugar in his coffee. It just messed up the taste of it. However, Sam had a giant sweet tooth.

“Well, okay, so my unit and I were securing a house that was supposed to have housed some terrorists. We had split into teams. I took the outside with three Marines while the others went inside. Everything was going fine until the last person called out, and it was a damn trap, and the fuckin’ house was wired. Everyone inside died. My team got hurt. I took some shrapnel in the arm and leg. The fuckers used nails and other metal in their bombs for maximum damage. I just couldn’t see going back in with a whole new team,” Milo stated as he took a drink of coffee. He watched as the look of horror flitted across Sam’s face, right before it turned into anger. “Don’t look at me like that, Sam. No one knew. I knew after I got hit I was done, but I don’t need a damn handout from anyone trying to feel sorry for me. I am fine now, and going to start working as sheriff. Things are bound to get better.” Just as he finished his story and knew Sam would be okay with everything, he saw Piper walk into the hall.

She sure had changed since the last time her had seen her. She had always looked like a kid sister to him. 

She’d had big glasses that covered most of her face, her hair short and wild, and she was slightly on the small side. Right now though, she had her hair pulled up in a way that framed her tiny face. She still wore her glasses, but even those seemed to fit her better as well. She was now taller and a lot fuller than he remembered. She was almost flat chested when he last saw her, but now she was all woman and filled out her perfectly fitted top right. Her breasts were on the large size for her now smaller frame, but he had big hands and loved it when a woman fit into them. Damn, she had grown up. He felt the slight twinge as his cock started to stand up and take notice as well. Fuck, this can’t be happening. It’s Piper, for Christ’s sake.

“Morning,” Piper stated. He took notice of her as she walked into the kitchen while he and Sam talked about what his plans were now that he was in town for good. She went over to the stove and started a kettle of water. Milo watched as she reached up into the cabinet above the stove to grab a box of tea bags. Tea, who the hell drinks tea? As she reached, her shirt lifted slightly from the back of her pants, and the sight of her tight, plump ass came into view, and her lush, cream-colored skin peeked right above her jeans. She had a great ass. He had always been a breast man, but he could admire a perfect ass if it was right in front of him. She continued with her morning activities.

Sam kept talking about Cooper and Cash’s wedding to Riley. It was set for tomorrow, and she needed to finish getting last-minute things. “So I am taking Piper with me to town. Do you want to come with us? Piper needs a new dress, and I have to pick up my wedding gift.”

Milo told her no and that he would catch up with them later. Sam agreed and left him and Piper sitting at the table. Piper was dunking her tea bag in the cup before taking a sip.

Piper could feel the tension in the air. She tried to play it off and went about her business as Sam left the room, leaving her and Milo sitting at the table in complete silence.

“I’m sorry about this morning. I’m going to look for a place this afternoon and stay in the hotel so you can have your room,” said Piper as she lowered her eyes. She knew she needed to get out on her own and put her own two feet down and stop relying on Sam for help. Sam had always been there to pick up the pieces when her life went to shit. She went to speak again when Milo cut her off.

“No, Red, you don’t have to. I have already spoken with Cooper and taken the position of sheriff for a while. I have a house I am buying. It should be done anytime now. Until then I can stay with Wes and Grady. So don’t worry about it. I didn’t call Sam and let her know I was coming, so it was my fault this morning. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” He smiled at her, and Piper could hear the sadness in his voice. She smiled at him and reached for his hand. He called her Red. It had been a nickname he gave her when he first met her because of her red hair, and it had stuck since.

“Okay, if you’re sure. I’m really glad you’re back okay. Sam was really worried about you. She may act bitchy at times, but it’s just because she is covering how scared she was when you were over there. She will calm down some now that you are staying here. I am apparently going dress shopping with Sam, even though I hate shopping, for the wedding tomorrow.” She let go of his hand, stood, and walked out of the room to get her shoes on.

Once she was in the closure of the room, she released her breath that she was not aware she was holding. Why the hell did Milo have to be so fucking hot? She was on edge as it was, and now he was going to be staying in Lucky as well. It looked like her little family was growing by one.

ADULT EXCERPT

“Did I say you could look up at me, Red? So far your punishments are adding up. Do you know what I am going to do to you, my sweet little toy? Do you know why I am going to punish you?” asked Milo.

“Yes, sir. Because I looked at you?” Piper was hoping that was the reason, but the way he said she had it coming made her think that maybe she did something prior. That doesn’t count, does it?

“That will only get you five, toy. No, I am talking about the way you dismissed me when you were hurt at the wedding. Not even a second look. I was so fuckin’ pissed, and you sent my ass packing. I wanted so bad to take you over my knee then and there. Instead, I walked away. But listen to me good, Red. No more, do you understand me? I will not be something or someone you dismiss. You are my toy until I say otherwise. Are we clear?” Milo’s voice resonated to every fiber in her body, and her pussy was singing with anticipation of what this delicious man was going to do to her body. It was not fear, but the desire to want more from this man that sent her reeling. She had sent him away only because she was embarrassed by what happened. She did not want Milo to see her weak. He was such a strong man within his own right that she, too, wanted to be strong to be with him.

“Yes, sir,” she said again. She felt Milo walk over to her this time and pet her head like a small animal. The feeling was odd but comforting to her. She stayed as still as possible so as not to disappoint him. Her juices were starting to run down her leg, and she feared she would have created a puddle on the floor before she stood up. Piper heard him pulling something from his pocket as he started to take off his belt that held all his items and set it on the chair next to the door. His radio sputtered quietly in the background, and she could see the shiny black of his gun next to it. Suddenly she felt a piece of fabric being bound along her lower arm and wrists. It felt like it was her robe tie that was sitting right next to his belt now. He was binding her hands behind her back. With a swift move, he lifted her to a standing position.

“Keep your eyes down, toy, and I promise you will be rewarded for listening to me. I want a closer look of what is mine.” Piper felt his hands on her naked shoulders, skimming the tips of his fingers along her collarbone to her center. From there, his touch continued downward toward her breasts. Slowly, too slow for Piper, he traced the outside of her nipple before grasping her breast with both hands, holding them in place and giving them a gentle squeeze.

Piper felt him lean into her as she was able to smell his bodywash tickle her nose. He smelled clean, and a hint of coffee lingered within his scent. “Who do these belong to, toy?” he whispered into her ear.

“You, sir,” replied Piper.

“Good answer, Red. Now tell me, who does this belong to?” he asked as he released his hold on her breasts and slid down to her belly.

“You, sir,” she acknowledged.

“Right again, toy. Now how about this?” His nimble fingers slid around to her ass and grabbed her cheeks, massaging them as his breathing increased along her ear.

Piper hesitated only for a moment as her breath hitched. “You, sir.”

“Correct. Now tell me, Red, has anyone claimed your ass?”

What could she tell him? No she didn’t because she was scared, or because no one ever tried to? Piper realized he must have felt her hesitation, as before she could reply to his question, a smack came across her cheek. “No, sir,” she said hurriedly.

“I’m glad to hear that, Red. However, do not hesitate again when I ask you a question. I do not like to be kept waiting. Just so you know, I will take your sweet little ass, but I want it to be enjoyable for you, so we will just play first.” He loosened his hold on her ass and moved his fingers to her aching sex. She was panting as he skimmed his fingers through the small smattering of hair that covered her mound. “I do not want anything in the way when I play with my toy. Tonight I want you to shave this off. Now once again, Red, who does this belong to?” One of his fingers ran through her lips and started to slowly play with her throbbing clit.

Piper gasped at the feeling. “You, sir,” she panted out as his magical fingers played with her. Then before she would get her bearings, a finger was slipped inside her. Piper inhaled at the invasion.

“My sweet little toy, how many men have played with what is mine?”

Welcome to the Caliente Blog Hop!

Hitting your Man's Hot Spots 

(Besides the obvious one)

Most sexually experienced lovers know that a woman’s body is a wonderland of erogenous zones.  Learn where to stroke, kiss and nibble and anyone can turn their lady love into a quivering, breathless puddle of goo.

When it comes to our guys though, we tend to stick with the tried and true, and that means many of our men’s hot spots are languishing, untouched and undiscovered. So the next time you’re spending some time with your man, be sure to explore some of these lesser known trigger zones and see if you can’t turn up the temperature a little higher.

And while you’re working him over, keep in mind this interesting little factoid: scientists have just found the hottest way to caress someone for pleasure is to keep your touch light and move 3-4 centimeters per second. Too fast or too slow and the pleasure nerves aren’t stimulated, get the speed right, and he’ll be molten putty in your hot little hands.

Enjoy.

The front of his Neck:

Just below his Adam’s apple is the thyroid, and in Chinese Medicine that little baby is closely linked to the sex organs. So the next time you’re nibbling on his neck, make sure to spend some time front and centre, working the area from the hollow of his throat to his Adam’s apple. That vibration you’re going to feel against your lips and tongue will be him groaning in appreciation.

His Fingers:

The fingers are usually thought of as being used to give foreplay, not receive it, but believe me it’s worth taking the time to give them some love and attention. The spot between his fingers is especially sensitive, so make sure you don’t skip it. Nibble and suck on his fingers and use the tip of your tongue to tease him.

His Mouth:

Our lips have more sensitive nerve endings than anywhere else in the body, which is why a good kiss feels so damned good. But did you know that the slope between his lower lip and his chin is hypersensitive? That’s because the area is full of extra sensitive nerve receptors, and you can use that to your advantage. Next time you have your man in a lip lock, try paying special attention to that spot by sucking his lower lip into your mouth and using your tongue to stimulate the nerves.
