#ThrowbackThursday - a peek at Lia Risso #RissoFamily #Romance

For those of you who read Susceptible to Him - heck, even if you haven't - here is my inspiration for Lia Risso...
​ Source: Facebook / original source unknown And, here are the very first lines from my very first publication...

​~~~oOo~~~
“I got you a date for tonight.”
​
My roommate’s words whipped my head around, and my tossed keys landed on the floor inside our apartment door rather than on top of the bookshelf where they belonged. I glared at the spiked red hair, gelled-to-hell atop her head, while kicking the door shut behind me. “You did what?”

Slumped in her usual spot on our tattered couch, Gwen clicked away on her laptop. “You are going out tonight with a royal hottie.”

“A date. With a hottie.”

“That’s what I said.”

Scowling, I flung my purse on the kitchen table and pulled open the fridge door. A quick peek at the meager contents, and my frown deepened. “Did you eat my leftover lo mein?”

“Yup.”

“Bitch.”

“Yup.”

“I had a shitty day, Gwen. I’m not in the mood.”

She snapped her laptop closed, placed it on the coffee table, and stood. “It’s been two years.”

Jack.

My throat tightened, fading my annoyance. The love of my life since thirteen, my high school sweetheart. The one who, our sophomore year in college, promised me forever with a 2-carat stone set in platinum. The one I had expected to spend every Valentine’s Day with until I lay in a cold grave.

“You know what day it is.” The words tore from my lips. “Why are you doing this?”

“Time to move on, Lia.”

I closed my eyes and tilted my head back. My neck ached. My eyes burned. As with every evening upon returning home from work, I cursed my life, my choice in jobs. Men and accounting sucked ass. “I can’t.”

“You can, and you will.”

Heaving a sigh, I met her hazel-eyed stare. My best friend since middle school, there was nothing Gwen didn’t know about me. We roomed all through college and then got an apartment in the North End upon graduation. Close enough to home to please my papa, but far enough away to enjoy some independence.
Not that I’d done anything to warrant either of my parents’ disapproval since I signed the lease.

The ring through Gwen’s bottom lip twitched, and a smirk soon followed.
My body stilled. I knew the look well, the type that had always landed us in trouble during our college years. “What did you do?”

“Don’t get mad.”

“What. Did. You. Do.”

She tugged on the frayed edge of her faded Princess Ariel t-shirt. Her pale cheeks flushed. “You know that website I use?”

“Oh, good Lord.” I palmed my hips. “The lure-a-lover or whatever the hell it’s called?”

“Yup.”

I waited, brow raised.

Gwen sucked in a breath. “Well, I decided to make you a profile and find you the perfect match for a little tickle and poke.”

What the hell? My Italian temper screamed for release, but I strode down the hallway before I could spout off shit I’d regret.

New Release: Divine by Cait Jarrod! #MontanaDreams

Under the stress of being apart, heart-wrenching events leave them plagued with doubt. Danger forces them to make irrefutable decisions about what they want from life.
Buy: Amazon Barnes and Noble Kobo
“Hi, Trina!” The low, seductive voice came from beside her.
Her muscles tensed. Excitement and dread each fought for a stance. Matt’s voice zinged her body, excited her nipples to beads, and caused her to squeeze her thighs together. “Matt,” she breathed.
He looked good, too good. His worn jeans clung to his muscular thighs. The navy blue pullover brightened his heavenly eyes. Dreamy. His tanned face and five-o’clock shadow sent her gotta-have-it alarm screaming off the rails. Gorgeous, more striking than she remembered.
She sucked in a hard, deep breath, and tried to reign in the excitement of seeing him, while battling the fear Cal would arrive any minute.
“I owe you,” she whispered, instead of yelling into the phone, and ended the call.
“You’re a sight.” Matt’s face brightened, his grin infectious.
She wanted to rush into his arms but refrained, afraid any moment Cal would show.
“Man, you’re beautiful,” he said, his tone left no room to doubt his sincerity.
Her mouth watered and her head whirred. Matt was hot. He’d always been, but he’d filled out even more. His youthful features hardened into a man, a warrior, one that could protect and would do so at any moment. She drooled.
He sent her the kind of appreciative glance a guy gave a woman he held in admiration, not necessarily by her beauty but for what he felt. Tingles raced over her body and forced her feet to move. He engulfed her into a bear hug. A hug so tight she didn’t think he’d let go. “I’ve missed you,” he said, his whispered voice tight.
Ohmygod! Her pebbled nipples relished against his hardened chest. He didn’t just have a body that would do any poster justice. No, it wasn’t just that exiting her. It was him. He was her Matt. She slid her hands around him further, squeezed tighter. “I’ve missed you so much!”
His chuckle vibrated her breasts, her hands. The smart move would be to step back before they became any more of a spectacle. She brushed a kiss to his jaw, ready to accept it may have to be enough, when his lips captured hers.

#TidbitTuesday: Claimed by her Viking Wolf #TimeTravel #Erotic #Excerpt

Today, I have a hot little snippet from a novella I just finished reading. I give you Claimed by her Viking Wolf by Doris O'Connor!
His kona jumped when he kicked the door shut behind him. Not taking his eyes off of her, he yanked his t-shirt over his head. His boots followed, and then his jeans. He hadn’t bothered with underwear. Kim’s little mewl of need when he stood naked in front of her, made him grind his teeth together. His jaw ached, and he shook his head, closed his eyes, and willed his animal to stand down.

“Asger?”

He wrenched his eyes open at her hesitant question. Kim’s eyes widened when he grasped his aching dick in a firm grip that brought some relief, as the sexual tension pulsed between them. When she sank to her knees in front of him, and wrapped her small hands over his while she looked up at him, Asger groaned.

“You are playing with fire, minn kona.” He ground the words out through clenched teeth. Kim hesitated for one second before she grinned and made a big show of studying his cock. It made that part of him harden further. The broad mushroom tip swelled and widened in preparation for the knot that bound their females to them in the act of copulation. The sight and feel of her little pink tongue darting out and laying a stripe of wet heat across the head of his shaft, made him want to howl in pleasure.

“Kona, you need to be absolutely sure you want this, because once we start I shall not stop, until I’ve claimed and marked every part of you with my teeth and cum, used every one of your holes, and made you scream my name in pleasure until you pass out.”

A whimper of need escaped his mate at his little speech. Her rapid breaths ghosted across his balls as she dipped her head and licked up the underside of his dick.

Pleasure surged through him, as he moved his hand still covered by her digits to show her the pace he liked. She caught on quick, and disentangling his fingers from hers, he braced the wall for support with one hand while he buried the other in her hair and guided her mouth back to his cock. Seeing her comply and smile up at him, while she pumped his cock with both hands, her lips stretched wide over the head of his erection was fucking hot.

Wet, hot, soft heat engulfed his staff, and Asger couldn’t help himself. Flexing his hips he pushed in deeper, seeking the relief only she could bring him. When he hit the back of her throat, the clenching of her muscles around the head of his cock, as she did her best not to gag, shot pleasure up his dick. He pulled back slightly, mindful of the orgasm that was already building at the base of his spine. Kim moaned and swallowed as his pre-cum released, and his peen grew longer, thicker.  Hollowing out her cheeks she sucked hard as he thrust into her mouth. Kim grazed her teeth along his cock on his retreat until only his tip remained stretching her saliva slickened lips. Again and again she repeated the action, while sliding her hands up and down the rest of him too big to fit inside her mouth.
​
“Fuck, Ja … vænn…”
~~~oOo~~~ Blurb:

When historical romance writer Kimberly Talbot finds a displaced, injured Viking at her campfire, her life sure starts to get complicated. She can’t leave him there. Besides, what sort of writer would she be if she didn’t take up this splendid opportunity for some hands on research of the sexy Viking god variety?

All she has to do is keep her heart out of the firing line.

Asger, son of Liufr wakes up in a strange, cursed land, out of time, injured, and unable to shift. Drawn to the fire of the flame haired kona by her intoxicating scent and the promise of food and shelter, he has no choice but to trust the woman his wolf claims is their mate, their válað, the very key to his return home.

He doesn’t belong in these strange times, but does Kim belong in his?
A choice has to be made…

Chasing after Him.

​Enjoy!

~~~oOo~~~

I slid my gaze down over her trembling body and back up. Her hard nipples begged for my teeth, but jaw clenched, I continued my slow perusal upward to peer into her eyes.  “I’m not going to fuck you.”

If looks could kill, they say. Yeah, I’d have fifty scalpels sticking from various body parts. I stood up before she decided she needed a little more practice slicing and dicing. Hands on hips, she glared up at me.

I couldn’t help another chuckle. “You are so damn hot when you’re pissed.”

“Oh, fuck off.” She spun, and all but ran to her front door. “I don’t know why the hell I bothered. Not like you’d be into someone like me anyway.”

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I asked, stalking across the living room to tower over her.

Little Miss In-Control’s throat bobbed as she swallowed and shrank away from me. “You’re…” her voice wavered, and she licked her lower lip, “the hottest man I’ve ever seen, and I’m nothing special. Tiny tits, hardly any curves to speak of—”
​
I grabbed her up in my arms and pushed her against the wall. Crushed my mouth to hers, taking. Tasting. Fucking her mouth with my tongue.

When Katrina’s ex, Tom, turns up on her doorstep, he’s literally the last person she was expecting to see. After dumping her and running off with a vanilla chick, Tom broke the Domme’s heart and left her seriously hurting. So when he returns, begging for another chance, Katrina is understandably very confused and protective of her bruised feelings. She finds it very difficult to believe that he’s turned his back on a vanilla lifestyle for good and wants to be with her, a professional dominatrix. Rather than letting her head or her heart figure out what to do, whether to forgive him, she decides to put Tom through a series of challenges that will prove his devotion to her—or not. Testing Tom is not something she’d ever expected she’d have to do, but to her, it’s the only way she can be sure whether he’s back for good.
This is a previously published work. It has been edited for Evernight Publishing.
