NEW RELEASE: Master Lucifer's Errant Sub by Claire de Lune

The lovely Claire de Lune (what an awesome pen name!) is visiting to tell us about her latest release, Lucifer’s Errant Sub. What an awesome title! After checking out the cover and blurb, I had a few questions which Claire was gracious enough to answer.

Michelle: What’s your favorite part about writing ManLove?

Claire: This is my first Manlove only. I have written MM in a ménage but never solely MM. I never intended to write Lucifer and Devil’s story. They were minor characters in Master Salvador’s Dilemma (Book 1 of the Blood Red Rose Club series). They had different ideas and one night I awoke with their story buzzing in my head so I had to write it down.

M:  I know exactly what you mean! It’s funny how our characters take over when we’re making other plans. What’s your biggest challenge in writing ManLove?

C: The biggest challenge is that I am a woman so I don’t know if I’m getting in the head of my male characters. I do hope so.

M:  I understand. That’s always a worry of mine, too. This book is set in a BDSM club. Why do you like to write BDSM?

C: I enjoy writing BDSM but not the deep dark sort. When I retired, I started to read erotic fiction and read a lot of BDSM. Then I researched it and became very interested so it seemed natural that my first book should be BDSM.

M: Last question: I love your main characters’ names! How did you come up with them?

C: Devil I chose because I had an Angel in my other series, all golden skin and blond hair. Devil is the opposite, dark, clouds of long black hair, deep bronze skin, so it seemed a good name for him. Master L appeared as his Dom in the first book so I needed a name beginning with L. Lucifer seemed a good one as he is Count Lucius Dragovic.

M: Awesome! Thanks for stopping by and giving us the delicious excerpt below!

ADULT EXCERPT

Lucifer woke first. There was someone in bed with him. His arm was numb because of a head resting on his shoulder. Then it hit him.He’s here with me. He’s safe. A feeling of the most profound happiness came over him. He smiled as he looked at the sleeping man beside him. The beautiful hair flowed over the pillow. Lucius bent to smell it. The shampoo he’d used had left a faint smell of lemon combined with the unique smell of Devil’s body. Lucifer inhaled and sighed. He’d missed waking up in the same bed with his lover. He bent and kissed Devil’s brow. The amazing eyes opened.

“You’re real. It wasn’t a dream. I've dreamed of you so often, only to wake and find you weren’t there.” Devil said no more as Lucifer’s mouth stopped his.

Lucifer kissed him gently, then, as desire overcame him his tongue explored every well-known feature. I almost lost him. I have missed him so much. He completes my life I will never let him go. As these thoughts whirled in his brain, he clasped Devil in his arms and settled to kiss him witless. Devil gave as good as he got, and as Lucifer held him in his arms, his grip gradually tightening, Devil held onto him. Then he pulled him completely on top of him, opening his legs, trapping Lucifer by wrapping his legs around him. He lifted his hips and ground their cocks together.

“It seems my pet is impatient,” he said, and spoiled the effect of the stern tone in his voice by chuckling.

“I have missed you so, just fuck me,” Devil protested.

“You forget that you are my pet and I’m your Master,” Lucifer said. “You get fucked when I say so, and if you beg nicely.”

Devil held him at arm’s length and looked at him. “You were serious, then.”

“Never more so. It’s the way I live.”

Devil wriggled out from under Lucifer, whose heart hit his boots. He doesn’t want this, and I won’t force him. I love him too much, but it’s going to be hard to give up the lifestyle. To his surprise, Devil knelt by the side of the bed, his proud head bent.

“Please fuck me, Master,” he said. Lucifer was jubilant. He does understand, and he does want this. He got off the bed, raising his lover to his feet. He held his face between his hands and gazed into his eyes, searching for something. He needed to know if it was what Devil wanted and wasn’t agreeing just to please him.

“Do you really want this? You aren’t doing it just to please me?”

“All my life I have been told what to do someone has had the responsibility for me. I hated the Brothers, but they didn’t care for me at all. You care. I missed you and I didn’t do very well on my own. I know I need someone to look out for me. I enjoy our love-making when you take charge. I want to explore this lifestyle you speak of.”

“Very well, pet. Promise me you will tell me if you are unhappy about anything love,” Lucifer said, his voice raw with emotion. Devil nodded.

“I will, Master. Now please, please will you fuck me?”

“With pleasure,” Lucifer said. He pushed him onto the bed. “Stay there, and don’t move.”

He went over to his night table and took out a few items. He placed a soft blindfold over his sub’s eyes. “Remember this? It will heighten your other senses. Is that comfortable?”

“Yes, Master.” The low voice seemed calm.

Lucifer put soft leather cuffs on his wrists and clipped them to the bed head. "Keep your legs apart, pet." Then he opened a pot, dipped his fingers into the soft, sticky sauce, and smeared it over Devil's superb chest and firm belly. Then he bent and slowly he licked the chocolate off. He paid particular attention to Devil's nipples, smiling as his lover groaned and arched his back to get more. He licked and sucked his way over the taut belly. Taking his time, he chuckled as Devil became impatient and moaned.

"Patience, my pet.” He dipped his fingers into the pot and coated Devil’s swollen and throbbing cock, eliciting more moans. He left the chocolate sauce and picked up a soft ostrich feather, stroking it over Devil’s arms and torso until he got what he wanted.

“Please, please,” Devil begged.

Lucifer smiled, put down the feather, and bent to lick his lover’s cock. Dipping his tongue daintily into the slit, he licked and sucked the chocolate off the fat head. Then he took the head into his mouth and licked, laved, and suckled, driving Devil to the edge. When he judged him to be almost there, he stopped and coated his balls in the chocolate sauce. He sucked first one then the other into his mouth, cleaning off the chocolate, and in the process making his pet writhe and moan. When he’s better trained, it will be interesting to see if he can keep silent or not, and what I shall decide to do to punish a disobedient sub. How I'm looking forward to that.

When Devil’s balls were clean of chocolate, he licked and nibbled his way up the thick, ropey vein on the side. Then he took the dripping cock into his mouth and sucked until Devil came with a shout. Something else to explore. I will teach him to wait until he has permission to come. That control will so enhance his pleasure. Lucifer swallowed the hot, salty cum and cleaned Devil’s cock. Then he took off the blindfold and helped Devil to his feet.

“Come and shower, love.”

RELEASE DAY! The Stylist, His Dom, and Their Dancer

It's finally here! My latest book, The Stylist, His Dom, and Their Dancer is now available for download from Bookstrand.

Special Guest: Julie Shelton

Today I'm pimping out fellow Siren author, Julie Shelton, whose latest book, Dark Warrior, will be coming out on January 15, 2014. Julie's stopped by to tell us a little bit about the book's history.

Cover Reveal: The Stylist, His Dom, and Their Dancer

A New Year, a new release, and a brand new cover to show off!

The House of Dracul Series by J. Annas Walker

I'm doing something a little different today. I've got a spotlight for my friend and fellow Sirenista, J. Annas Walker, whose latest book, Scion's Avalon was released on May 30. It's the second book in her House of Dracul series about the granddaughter of Vlad the Impaler. 

I really enjoyed reading these books, so I'm including reviews for both!

Scion's Freedom

As the Scion of the House of Dracul, vampire princess Cassy Daniels just wants a simple, royal-free life in New Atlanta. It’s been thirty years since The Fall, when the world’s economy collapsed. Although supernatural creatures are helping to rebuild society, Cassy remains in hiding to avoid an arranged marriage.

When her journalist bodyguard and best friend, Erica, is assassinated, she flees for her life with the help of Detective David Ashe. He’s reluctant at first. She used him a few weeks prior. However, she’s the sole survivor of a serial killing and his only lead. Something about David is magnetic and Cassy falls for him hard.

Can they find Erica’s killer before he finds them? Can David forgive her past enough to love her? Can the Council of Crones, a coven of elder witches, provide more insight as to who is hunting Cassy and why? Will she survive the assassination attempts and still hold on to the man she loves?

Michelle's Review

One of my favourite authors is Kim Harrison, and right away, Scion's Freedom reminded me a bit of her Hollows series. It takes place after a catastrophic world event destroys a large portion of the human population and allows supernaturals to finally reveal themselves. This book has a lot of the features I like in my books: a strong heroine, vampires, romance, hot sex, and intrigue. 

I enjoyed this book a lot! It's not a long read, but it seemed even shorter because the author kept the story interesting enough to keep me going, and when I reached the end, I was like, "It's over? Already?" I'm pretty sure it was Jane Austen who said, "If a book is well written, I always find it too short." I couldn't agree more! And this is usually my number one complaint with books I've enjoyed. 

J. Annas Walker has created a well-paced, fascinating take on Vlad the Impaler and his descendants, and I like the way she was able to work little history tidbits throughout the book. If you like paranormal erotic romance, I highly recommend Scion's Freedom!

My rating: «««««

Scion's Avalon 

Three years have passed since vampire princess Cassy Daniels, Scion of the House of Dracul, gave up her title to turn and marry David Ashe. Together, they live in exile with the Council of Crones, a group of elder witches. Isolated from the world, they found bliss. However, vampire politics soon intrude. Born vampire women are being kidnapped, and Cassy’s next on the list.

After a failed attempt to take Cassy from the Council of Crones estate, magical portals lead back to the missing women. Cassy and David are tasked with bringing them home. David is sent after Elisabeta, Cassy’s sister-in-law, who is still on Earth. Cassy, however, has what it takes to enter the elf-kingdom of Avalon and retrieve the other three vampires.

Can Cassy and David hold on to their bliss, or will Avalon’s magic lure her from home?

Michelle's Review

I love being able to follow characters through different stories in a series. In my own books, I make each book about a new set of main characters, but J. Annas Walker's Scion's Avalon follows Cassy and David, the main characters from her first book in the House of Dracul series. 

It was great to catch up on what Cassy and David are doing now, three years after their first story. Now, there's a new mystery for them to face. I love the world the author has created, and the plot is just as strong in this second book. 

The only reason I'm not going to give this book five stars, is the editing. I'm an author, and I get that reading your own work you see what you think you wrote, and often miss errors. I cringe when I look back on my own books, because I am still finding errors in those. Even after being seen by myself, beta readers, and editors, mistakes can slip through. In Scion's Avalon I noticed enough of these to make it a bit distracting, but because the story was so strong, I was able to stay immersed. I recommend checking out this latest book by J. Annas Walker!

Sinful Sirens Blog Hop

I'm excited to be participating in another blog hop, this one hosted by Under the Covers Book Blog.

So let's talk Sinful Sirens. This phrase to me means one who seduces others into doing bad things (the concept of 'bad' being very subjective of course).

In honour of this wonderful concept, let me introduce you to the Sinful Sirens of Hedon Falls, my book series which is available from Siren Publishing. I'm also giving away a copy of one of my ebooks, as well as letting the winner decide on the name and occupation of my next Siren! Details are at the end of the post! Plus, don't forget to hop around to the other blogs participating for a chance at more fabulous prizes!

The Sirens of Hedon Falls

Serena from Landing the Big Ones
Being a single mom isn't easy, especially when it comes to satisfying sexual desires. Poor Serena has been a little too long without the company of a man, and when she meets a set of sexy identical twins, she falls hard and fast for both of them. The three of them get up to some wicked sexcapades which gets others in town talking!

Melanie from The Art of Love
Opening up a private art gallery is a bold venture, and one that Melanie is determined to succeed in. Her pal Serena points out that all the artwork she is interested in has a sexual nature, so Melanie decides to make erotic art the theme of her opening exhibit. Meeting with the artists of these sexy pieces challenges her self-control, especially because she can't decide between them. Taking a cue from Serena, Melanie decides that a menage might be just the thing for her and the guys.

Sophie from Training the Help
Sophie had a job she enjoyed at a large hotel in Toronto, but when it went under, she was left without work and quickly ran out of resources. So when the opportunity to be the housekeeper for a movie star and her husband presents itself, Sophie seizes it. But her employers are both attracted to her and Sophie finds herself exploring some new sexual territory with them.

Kendra from Training the Help
Happily married to a successful man, and doing well with her acting career, Kendra should have everything she wants. But she's bisexual and sometimes misses the company of a woman. When Sophie moves in, Kendra finds it difficult to keep her mind and hands off the other woman. She introduces Sophie to the pleasures of girl-on-girl loving.

Coming Soon!
Two upcoming Sirens from Hedon Falls include Shannon O'Connell, lead singer of a rock band in Hedon Falls, and Ciara Flaherty, Irish dance teacher. Watch for their stories in late summer/early fall!

Sinful Sunday With Michelle!

Hi all!

I've been a bad blogger recently. Trying to do too much at once is finally catching up with me and I've fallen behind on so much! I should know better than to spread myself so thin, but it's a lesson I seem to keep forgetting. But that's my personal sin and I'm sure you'd rather hear about something much more interesting!

Yesterday was the release day for my latest book, Training the Help. Three books on and it's still so exciting to finally see my name in (digital) print. I thought today would be a good day to talk about it because it's got lots of wickedly sinful stuff in it!

First off: Lust. All three of my characters are having a damned hard time controlling their libidos and they can't stop thinking about having what they shouldn't want.

Next up: Adultery. Eventually all that lust causes some extra-marital activity, and when the spouses find out, there's trouble.

Last: Bisexuality. Two of my characters are girls and they get involved with each other. Shocking!

I hope you have a chance to pick up this book and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Excerpts are below.

Blurb
Unemployed and running out of resources, Sophie LaPlante is desperate for a job, when the perfect one appears before her. A wealthy couple from Hedon Falls requires a live-in housekeeper, and Sophie is just what they’re looking for.

Jack Sullivan, a powerful CEO and Dom, is married to actress Kendra Hughes.  He immediately senses submissive tendencies in his new housekeeper. His wife can never be the sub he needs, so while Kendra is away on a film shoot, he begins to train Sophie. When Kendra returns, she joins the training to explore her own Dominant desires. While their sessions were not intended to involve sex, they find themselves fighting a losing battle against their mutual attraction.

The three of them are caught up in a web of lust, guilt, and infidelity, all complicated by an ex-boyfriend who can’t leave Sophie alone.

Excerpt

Sophie hesitated. She hadn’t thought about how they would contact her with her phone not in service.

“Is something wrong?” Kendra asked her with concern.

“Well,” Sophie began. “I was laid off when the hotel closed, and I’ve been unemployed for several months and having difficulty with my bills.” She took a deep breath and blinked as she felt tears pricking at the back of her eyes. “I’m ashamed to say that my phone service has been disconnected. There isn’t any way for you to contact me,” she whispered.

Kendra stood and slid her arm around Sophie’s waist. “Oh, honey! That’s terrible!” she soothed. “I know what it’s like when there hasn’t been a job for a while and you’re down to the end of your rope.”

Sophie stared down at the ground, her face burning with embarrassment. It was irrational she knew. She hadn’t been irresponsible with her money. There just hadn’t been enough coming in.

“Tell you what,” Kendra said. “Why don’t you wait out in the hotel lobby? We’ll make a decision today and come talk to you after we finish with the others.”

Sophie nodded. “That is very generous, Mrs. Sullivan,” she said. “I would appreciate that.”

“It isn’t a problem! And please, call me Kendra,” she said. “Now go on out there and we’ll come talk to you in a little while.”

“Thank you, Kendra,” Sophie murmured and turned to walk quickly out the door. She fought hard to keep the tears from falling. The last thing she needed was to fall to pieces right here. Without paying much attention to where she was going, Sophie found herself back in the foyer. She glanced around and spotted a plush chair off to the side of a large fireplace. There wasn’t anyone else sitting nearby so she made her way over and sank down into the comfortable depths.

She had been staring blankly at the fire for a few minutes when a voice nearby said, “Excuse me, miss.”

Sophie looked up to see a man in a suit standing before her. He had a hotel name tag pinned to his lapel. “Yes?” she responded.

He held out a folded menu to her. “Mrs. Sullivan asked me to tell you that she will be a little while longer and to please go ahead and order something to eat,” he said.

“Oh!” Sophie said, startled. “I don’t think that I—”

“Mrs. Sullivan was quite insistent,” he responded. “We can bring the food to you here or if you would prefer to come to the dining room we can arrange that as well.”

Taking the menu, Sophie barely glanced at it before ordering a Caesar salad and a club sandwich. She was just anxious to get rid of him. Maybe she should leave. They obviously were concerned that she couldn’t feed herself and she didn’t want their pity. She just wanted a job. Her food was delivered shortly and Sophie picked at it as she continued to stare into the fireplace. She decided to dig out her journal and write for a little bit to pass the time. She hadn’t been at it for long when a shadow fell across her shoulder. She looked up to see Mr. Sullivan standing beside her chair.

“You haven’t eaten,” he said gruffly, pointing at the tray beside her.

“I wasn’t particularly hungry,” Sophie said defensively. “I’m not starving you know!”

He exhaled and placed his hands on his hips. Sophie couldn’t help noticing how nicely he was built; broad shoulders, a trim waist and narrow hips, all shown off by his tailored suit that probably cost more than Sophie’s first car. She lifted her eyes to meet his and her breath caught in her throat. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown which matched his hair and they were framed by thick lashes. The reflection of the flames in his pupils was almost hypnotic.

They stared at each other for a few moments, but Sophie pulled her gaze away first. “Sorry,” she said softly. “I just hate being pitied.”

He pulled a chair up in front of hers and sat. He reached out, took hold of her chin, and turned her head to bring her eyes back up to his. When his hand made contact, a flash of heat travelled through Sophie and her stomach, and pussy, clenched.

“What happened to your face?” he demanded.

The question caught Sophie off guard. She reached up and touched the bruised spot on her cheek. She had tried to cover it with makeup that morning but obviously hadn’t done a good enough job.

“I fell,” she replied. “And I banged my head on the doorframe.”

When he continued looking at her, as though waiting for her to elaborate, she dropped her gaze. “My ex-boyfriend hit me with his elbow when I was standing too close behind him,” she admitted and glanced up to see a muscle twitching along his jaw. “It was an accident!” she added quickly. “I really was in the wrong place at the wrong time!”

He eyed her for another moment before he nodded sharply. “We want to offer you the job, Sophie,” he said to her. “You have the necessary experience but Kendra also seemed to connect with you. We’d like you to start as soon as possible. Can we send a car to pick up your things and you can come back with us tonight?”

Sophie couldn’t believe it. “Thank you, Mr. Sullivan! You won’t regret this!”

He smiled warmly at her, with a look in his eyes that she couldn’t place. “Please call me Jack,” he responded. “And I know I won’t regret it.”

Adult Excerpt

“That looked like fun.”

Sophie whipped her head around to see Kendra standing in the doorway, smiling. Sophie was mortified. How long had Kendra been watching her masturbate? Probably most of the time, since it hadn’t taken very long. Sophie didn’t know what to say and her mouth opened and closed soundlessly as Kendra strolled into the room toward her. Sophie’s face and neck burned with embarrassment at having been caught with the sex toy.

Kendra stopped beside her. “Stand up, sub,” she ordered, her voice hard.

Sophie got shakily to her feet, wincing at the squelching sound the toy made when it slid out of her pussy. She stood beside the machine and waited. Kendra walked around behind her and Sophie felt a sharp slap on her ass. She cried out softly. Kendra spanked her again, and said, “What made you think you could come in here and get yourself off on my toy?”

“Please, Mistress...” Sophie began. “I just—”

“Just wanted to feel something long and hard in your cunt, right?” Kendra said.

Sophie gulped. “Yes, Mistress.”

Kendra was silent for a moment. Sophie felt hands on her waist and then Kendra’s body pressed up against her from behind. Sophie sucked in a breath when she realized that Kendra didn’t have a shirt on and her hard nipples poked into Sophie’s back. Kendra moved herself back and forth a bit so that the stiff peaks rubbed Sophie’s back.

“Mmm,” she sighed. “Can you feel my tits?”

“Yes, Mistress,” Sophie said in a whisper.

“Watching you on that thing got me really hot.” Kendra’s hands traveled around to Sophie’s stomach and began working their way higher. Sophie trembled under her touch. “I need to get off now, sub, and you’re going to help me.” Kendra’s hands stopped just under Sophie’s breasts and stroked the undersides softly with her fingertips.

“How...how can I help you, Mistress?” Sophie asked faintly, barely able to breathe because her body was wound so tight.

“Have you ever been with a woman, sub?” Kendra asked, her lips right against Sophie’s ear.

Sophie closed her eyes as Kendra’s hot breath tickled her neck and ear. She wanted Kendra. She couldn’t deny it, and it seemed she was going to have her chance. “I’ve only been with you, Mistress.”

Kendra laughed. “You mean the other night? That wasn’t even close to what I want to do with you right now.” Kendra’s hands finally slid up over Sophie’s tits and squeezed gently, bringing a moan from her lips. Kendra’s fingertips grazed over Sophie’s nipples, then began to pinch and pull at them. Sophie’s moans grew louder as the pleasure seemed to shoot straight to her clit, causing the small bundle to throb.

“I’m going to take you to bed, now, Sophie,” Kendra said. “Do you want to fuck me?”

“Yes, Mistress,” Sophie whispered breathlessly.

Kendra turned her around and pulled Sophie into her arms. She leaned in close and before Sophie could think about it, their lips were pressed together. Kendra’s kiss was soft, her lips gliding pleasantly over Sophie’s. When she parted Sophie’s lips and slid her tongue into her mouth, Sophie whimpered and leaned into the kiss. Her head was reeling at the slow, burning intensity of the embrace. As their tongues moved together, tasting each other, and exploring within each other’s mouths, Sophie slid her hands up Kendra’s back and pulled the other woman even closer. Their breasts pressed together and Sophie revelled in the feeling of Kendra’s nipples rubbing against hers.

The kiss seemed to go on endlessly, until Kendra finally pulled her mouth from Sophie’s. They stared into each other’s eyes for a moment. Then Kendra took Sophie’s hand and led her into the bedroom. When they reached the bed, Kendra stepped away from Sophie and finished stripping. Sophie let her eyes roam over Kendra’s perfect body. Her breasts weren’t too large, but they were round and firm and the nipples stood erect. Her waist was tiny and flared out into her soft hips. Between her legs, there was no hair at all. Sophie had never seen a woman shaved before.

Sophie was suddenly self-conscious. Compared to Kendra’s perfection, she was dumpy and plain. She bowed her head as a tear squeezed out the corner of her eye.

“Sophie?” Kendra asked. She reached out and touched Sophie’s chin, gently forcing her gaze upward again. “What’s wrong?”

“I...you...you’re so beautiful,” Sophie whispered. “And I’m not.”

Kendra slid her arms around Sophie and kissed her again. “Sophie, I am standing naked in front of you, asking you to make love with me. I wouldn’t be doing that if I didn’t think you were stunning.”

“But—”

Kendra placed a finger against Sophie’s lips, stopping her protest. She replaced her finger with her own lips and kissed her passionately. Then she pulled away and climbed onto the bed, patting the spot beside her. “Now get up here. You owe me an orgasm.”

Follow This! or Follow Me! or Don't. But I'm Still Going to Tell You About My New Book

So I don't have a guest for Follow This! today, so I thought I'd feature myself instead! It is my blog after all and I am entitled to a little narcissistic self-indulgence now and again.

Why am I so excited and willing to hijack space on my own blog? My latest book went up for pre-order on Wednesday! It's the third book in my Hedon Falls Series, and it tells the story of Sophie, a young woman who is unemployed and running out of resources. She manages to land a job as a housekeeper for a movie star and her CEO hubby. But she ends up taking care of much more than the house, for both of them.

Kendra, the movie star, is bisexual, but hasn't been with a woman since her marriage. She's attracted to Sophie and eventually succumbs to her temptation.

Jack, the hubby, is a Dom, but Kendra isn't submissive at all. But he soon discovers that Sophie is, and he soon finds himself unable to resist her.

Oh, plus there's Sophie's psycho ex who can't take a hint.

I've seen a lot in some of my Facebook groups about couples who aren't satisfied with their sex lives, and in a lot of cases it seemed to be due to one partner having an interest/kink/fetish that the other wasn't into and wasn't interested in exploring. I thought that maybe that's why some people end up cheating - because their desires for something else end up overriding their common sense, even if they love their spouse. Sometimes a person isn't comfortable discussing their desires for fear their partner will think them to freaky. But even when the communication is there, it's not something that can be incorporated.

So my book explores that a little. Plus I thought it would be an interesting story to have a husband and wife who end up cheating on each other, but with the same person. I think it turned out rather well, and my opinion is not biased at all. But I hope that you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Available for pre-order! Release date April 27.http://www.bookstrand.com/training-the-help

“I’ve been thinking about this ripe, wet hot pussy, and how much I want to suck it and lick it, and fuck it silly with my fingers and my dick.”

“Oh please…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll give you everything you want.” He began to unbutton her top with his other hand, and Julie just gave over and melted into his touch. He took his time with the buttons, while his other hand continued to gently tease her toward orgasm. “I know something you want, Julie.”

“Yes…” She could hardly form a coherent thought.

“Something dark and decadent and secret.”

“Oh…” That voice. It did things to her senses that she couldn’t even comprehend.

“But first I think we’ll play with one of the toys I sent you.” He took his fingers out of her pussy and rose. She watched him walk to where he’d placed the bag, pick it up, and walk back toward her. He moved like a jungle cat stalking its prey. That’s what Julie wanted to be—his prey. She wanted him to capture her and devour her with his hands, his mouth, and his cock.

He placed the bag on the floor next to them and pulled out the blindfold. She gasped slightly as he asked her to turn around. Once she did, he placed it around her head and then whispered close to her ear. “You remember your safe word, right?”

“Yes, Sir. It’s ‘red.’”

“Good girl.” He reached around and finished unbuttoning her top, and then gently took it off. “Very nice, Julie. I love the corset. Now stand up.”

He helped her do so, and when he pulled down the skirt she moaned. “Oh, Julie…you’ve outdone yourself with this outfit. It’s perfect.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

He kissed each ass cheek, and then removed her panties and helped her step out of them. Running his hands up the backs of her legs, he spread her ass cheeks and trailed his tongue over the opening to her anus. Julie cried out in surprise and pleasure. “I have a surprise for you, Julie.”

She wasn’t sure what he meant, but she hoped it involved more of his tongue on her body.

“It involves a fantasy of yours. Something I recently found out you’d like to try.”

Something in the tone of his voice made her pulse quicken and a quick jolt of anticipation course through her. Sean’s words on Thursday came back to her. “You want us both to lick you, and kiss you, and suck you.” But Maddox couldn’t possibly know about that. Unless Sean had told him.

“Would you like to know what it is, Julie?”

“Yes, Sir.” Her voice shook. She suddenly didn’t want to know, but how could she tell him that?

“Then come with me.” He took her hand, which was slightly damp now, and led her across the room. Her knees touched what felt like a mattress. “We’re at my bed. Turn around and sit down, Julie. You’re okay.”

“All right.” She wasn’t okay. She was tingling with anxiety and had a strong premonition they weren’t alone in the room. When she caught the scent of Sean’s cologne she swiveled her head around, which immediately made her feel ridiculous as she was blindfolded and couldn’t see a damn thing. As she reached up to take it off, strong hands caught hers.

“It’s all right, Julie. No one is going to hurt you.” Maddox’s voice held a note of worry, and Julie was more afraid of that than anything. He let go of her arms and took one hand in his. “Relax your arm.” She forced herself to stay calm as Maddox took her hand and ran it over the unmistakable bulge of a dick encased in leather. She gasped slightly. When he took her other one and did the same to his erection, she knew she’d been right.

“Sean?”

“Yes, I’m here, too. It’s okay, Julie.” Sean’s voice was warm and sexy.

“Oh, shit.”

“Julie, it’s all right.” He sat next to her on the bed and took off her blindfold. “We wanted to give you this. We both did.”

She glanced from one man to the other, searching their faces. “Are you sure?” she whispered. “Are you both sure?”

“Julie, I’ve never been more sure of anything,” said Sean. His eyes danced with light reflected from the candles in the room.

“Now, be a good girl and put this back on.” Maddox took the blindfold from Sean, winked at her, and then placed it back on her head. “Or we’ll both have to spank you.”

“Oh, God,” she whispered.

Maddox chuckled. “I think she’d like that.”

“I would.” She wanted to clamp a hand over her mouth. It had just slipped out.

“Well,” said Sean, his voice full of playfulness, “we can’t deny her that, can we?”

“No. Absolutely not.” Julie heard movement and then felt something heavy dent the mattress. “Come over here, Julie.” Maddox took her arm and led her around the bed. “Crawl onto the mattress.” She did as he asked, and then he and Sean positioned her over what felt like the same curved wedge she’d imagined herself draped over the last time she’d been here.

“We’re going to tie your wrists and ankles to the wedge,” he said. “It won’t hurt, but you won’t be able to move your limbs, so make sure to use your safe word if you need it.”

Julie didn’t say anything. She couldn’t. All she could do was let the sensations wash over her as one of them fastened leather cuffs to each boot while the other man did the same to her wrists. She listened to locks snapping in place, and then her limbs were bound against the wedge.

Maddox’s voice washed over her as hands caressed her ass cheeks. “Now, this is going to sting. But I think you can handle it, Julie. Are you ready?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Follow This! Jess Buffet

Today I have the wonderful Jess Buffet visiting! Her book, The Kayan's Mage, is a unique new take on wolf-shifters. Plus some HOT MM interaction! Read on!

What got you started in writing? 

Apart from my addiction to romance stories, it was probably when I had to have surgery on my spine. Stuck in bed for so long, I had read all the books I had and my hubby suggested I try writing my own stories. I was forever telling him about these really good ideas, that I wished other authors would use so he told me to try. Honestly I didn’t think much would come from it, but now here I am with one book out and at least three more on their way within the next two months.

How did you feel when you got that first acceptance?  

Shock. I didn’t quite believe it at first. I had to get someone to read it for me. Then you couldn’t shut me up about it. Lol.

What’s your biggest challenge as a brand new author?   

Getting out there and getting noticed. Thankfully I’ve made some pretty terrific friends, other authors who have been where I am, that are helping me out.

What’s next for you?

Hunter Clan 2 – Riley’s Vampire Prince is out May 28th and Hunter Clan 3 is on the way. Plus I have another M/M due out May 4^th with Silver Publishing titled Always Been You, a M/F also with Silver titled Cowboy’s Chocolate Roses.   

Tell us about your newest release

Hunter Clan 1 – The Kayan’s Mage is the first book in a M/M paranormal series set on the Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia. My home. The Clan is like a pack, they are wolf-shifters led by their Kayan, Jake Hunter.

I’ve used a range of different terms for my book. There are so many great books out there that I knew I’d have to do something different to catch people’s attention. So, in my book you won’t find a Pack, Alpha, Beta and enforcers, instead you’ll find a Clan, Kayan, Yabyu and Ishads which comes from Turkish history.

The other main character is Sawyer McLeod, an elemental Mage with a few issues, a connection to recent attacks, and a mean right hook when you piss him off. In Sawyer’s own words “That’s right, bitch. This twink fights back!”

Blurb –

Sawyer McLeod lost his family and his entire Guild, except his twin, seven years ago. Now almost twenty-one, he is coming to the age to receive his abilities as a Mage. Unfortunately there are others who will stop at nothing to see the brother’s don’t survive that long.

When Jake Hunter, Kayan for a Clan of Wolf Shifters living in Australia, finally finds his true-mate he doesn’t expect it to be in the midst of a brutal attack. Through omissions of truth, misunderstandings and fear, Jake struggles to prove to Sawyer that he can trust him.

When Sawyer is finally willing to give Jake a chance, a ghost from the past returns to destroy everything they have built together. Will they be able to overcome the foe long thought gone, or will it be the end for the Kayan’s Mage?

Sinful Sunday with Siobhan Muir

Happy Easter everybody! Or if you don't celebrate Easter, Happy Sunday! The lovely Siobhan Muir is my guest today for Sinful Sunday. She writes for her readers, but her books are published by Siren and Evernight. She's got an excerpt for us today from her new release.

Thank you for having me on your Sinful Sunday blog spot, Michelle. I really appreciate it. And Happy Easter to all of you!

With that in mind, I want to talk about my newest book A Hell Hound's Fire, a short free read coming out on April 2, 2013. That's in two days! :D Because everyone deserves a gift for Easter.

This short story is an introduction to the town of Cloudburst, Colorado, and all the amazing creatures who live there. Several more stories set in Cloudburst are coming, but for now, I'm introducing Alex MacLaren and Sarah Flanagan. Sarah is a werewolf, Moon Singer, on the run from a demon and needs some protection. Alex is a Hell Hound, one of the rare Moon Singers with the ability to catch fire, and is used to living alone, especially since his last mate died.

For those of you familiar with my Moon Singers from Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack, werewolves have the ability to sense their True Mates, and they go a little crazy when they find them. Neither Alex nor Sarah has ever experienced meeting their True Mate…until now.

EXCERPT of A Hell Hound's Fire

Alex pieced together the ingredients for spaghetti with chicken from the freezer, and started cooking as he heard the water upstairs running. Good thing he’d remembered to pay the gas bill and buy a few provisions this month. He’d been staying in a small apartment in town temporarily, despite the danger to his neighbors. Yeah, eight years temporarily.

Alex shook his head. Maybe it was time to return to River House. But he had nothing to keep him here. Lisa was gone and everything here reminded him of her.

The scuff of a boot against the flagstone floor made him look up.

“Supper smells good.” Sarah hovered at the edge of the kitchen. “Can I help with anything?”

“It’s just chicken and pasta. Best I could do on short notice.” He glanced around at the dusty kitchen and chagrin swirled in his gut. “Sorry about the dust. I’ll get to it here in a sec.”

“Let me. I might be tired, but I can still wipe up some counters.”

“Where’s Liam?”

“I convinced him to take the bath.” She bit her lip. “Is that okay?”

“Of course. Damn, I think there are towels in the linen closet behind the bathroom door. Let me go get them.”

“I found them.” She rested her hand on his arm, stalling him. Heat crawled over his skin from her hand, warming him in ways he hadn’t known he needed. “Thank you.”

He fell into her pale green gaze and his heart stirred along with his cock. This one! This one is the right one. His Brother let loose a whine and Alex almost pulled Sarah into his arms and kissed her. But lightning flashed and thunder shook the house, making him jump. He stepped back.

“You’re welcome. All part of the plan to keep you safe. You’ve had a rough time and I’m happy to help.” 

Alex glanced out the windows to see rain rattling against the glass in great sheets. “Looks like we caught a break, though.”

A cute crease developed between her auburn brows. “How so?”

“Fitzroy said water confuses demons. I figure between the river and the rain storm, we got it covered.”

“Oh, yes, I suppose you’re right.” She looked so lost and alone he wanted to gather her into his arms and hold her tight.

“It’s going to be okay, Sarah.”

The bleakness of her expression tore at his heart. “Do you know how often I’ve thought those words only to discover they aren’t true? A demon is after me and my son, Mr. MacLaren. Nothing will ever be okay.”

“Hey.” He couldn’t resist grasping her hand and pulling her to face him. “You’ve come here seeking help and that’s what you’re going to get. We’ll get through this and beat this thing. I promise.”

“You can’t promise that, Mr. MacLaren.” She shook her head fiercely. “Everyone who has come into contact with the demon, who has tried to help us – they’re dead.”

“None of them were Hell Hounds, were they? Or dragons?”

Sarah bit her bottom lip. “No.”

“Believe me, that’s what will make the difference this time. We’ll take the demon down and send it packing.”

“How?” She looked up at him and searched his eyes as if the answer scrolled across his face.

“Let’s not worry about it right now. You and Liam need food rest. Let’s start with that.”

He met her gaze and offered his best encouraging smile. Some of the tension left her expression and she tentatively smiled back at him, the hope in her gaze drawing him closer. Before he could think through his actions, he tilted his head and covered her lips with his.

Sarah stiffened with surprise, but with a moan of desperation, she opened her mouth and gave into his kiss. Hot, searing lust spiked through Alex as the taste warm, willing woman and frantic need hit his tongue. The scents of peat bogs and spring hyacinth flooded his nose, and he couldn’t stop from caressing her tongue with his.

Mine! Must protect. True Mate. Alex’s Brother surged forward and made him tighten his grip on the delicious woman in his arms. He wanted to question the “True Mate” bit, but lust, need, and her scent swamped his mind until emotion ruled him.

Alex growled and pressed Sarah up against the counter, one arm wrapped around her back, his other hand spearing through her silken ponytail. The auburn strands felt like satin rope and he tightened his fist, dragging her head back. She whimpered and her nails dug into his back through his shirt as she wrapped one leg around his thigh. She ground her mound against his rock-hard cock and he swore his eyes rolled back in his head.

Want. Want her now. True Mate. Tugging her head back again, he broke the kiss and licked her throat, lust demanding he mark her as his. He worked his hand between their bodies and stroked the crotch of her jeans, the heat and dampness there searing his fingers. Feral need exploded through him and the scent of her arousal insisted he mate with her immediately.

And he would have, except the pasta pot boiled over right beside them.

They broke apart, Alex scrambling to turn down the heat on the stove. His cock throbbed against the fly of his jeans, mourning the loss of Sarah’s warmth, but guilt hit him straight between the eyes. What the fuck am I doing?

Thanks so much for stopping by today. If you're not familiar with my storytelling style, A Hell Hound's Fire comes out April 2nd on Smashwords for free. Feel free to tell your friends about it.

Love can be found in the most unlikely places, even the heart of a Hell Hound.

Alex MacLaren figures he'll never find love again after his mate dies. As one of the rare Hell Hound werewolves, his chances are slim to none. And slim went home. When the local Morukai shaman calls on him to protect a lovely Irish werewolf and her young son from demons, he can't help but take the job.

Sarah Flanagan is desperate to save her son Liam from the deadly monster trailing them, but she's out of options and places to hide. She lost her mate the last time she encountered a demon, and with Liam depending on her, the stakes are far higher this time. After meeting Alex, she's not sure about the Hell Hound, but she’s no fool. He’s their best hope for survival... and hers for another chance at love.

Thanks again for having me today, Michelle, and happy reading everyone! :)
