Shameless Desire (Outlawed Realm Book Three) by Tina Donahue

Shameless Desire by Tina Donahue Book CoverBlurb:

Passion without limit. Carnal hunger that knows no bounds.

Within Earth’s five dimensions, nothing is as it seems…and desire is never far away.

In E4’s jungle, Kuma’s the Alpha werewolf bent on revenge against the hated guards. Swept with them from that dimension to E1, he prowls Seattle at night, stopping the thugs from abducting women for use as sex slaves in E4’s Pleasure Palace.

On her way home from her nursing job, Gwen senses danger in the night’s shadows. A stranger attacks. Clinging to consciousness, she watches the impossible, a wolf fighting him off…protecting her. She wakes in her own bed, convinced it must have been a dream until she sees Kuma in human form. Virile, intense. A man like no other.

Within his powerful embrace, Gwen experiences rapture she didn’t believe existed. His unrestrained lust and burning need end her loneliness, though not the menace they face. The guards are a constant threat in their hunt for women and their determination to see Kuma dead. Together, he and Gwen must fight—for his life, her freedom, their future.

Available from: Amazon UK | Amazon US

*****

Excerpt:

Kuma caught the woman’s scent on the damp breeze. She smelled earthy like the surrounding vegetation, sensual from female musk and spices on this realm, some sweet, others warm. The same as he imagined her breath and skin.

Those fragrances and danger had drawn him here tonight.

He lifted his face to the drizzle and inhaled deeply, savoring her sensual aroma, picturing what she might look like, welcoming the images his mind created: her naked—though not here in Seattle—in the jungle where he’d once lived, her nudity bathed in faint light from dawn breaking through countless leaves. Moisture beaded on her shoulders and throat. The droplets glimmered, much as insects did in his dimension, then grew fat and slipped past her full breasts to her torso and navel. Other beads clung to her nipples, her heightened breathing shaking them free.

He craved to smell her excitement and desire for him.

He pictured her on his plane, facing him without fear despite what he was, her lips tilting in a provocative smile, her voice enticing.

“Can you catch me?” She drew back her shoulders in a surprisingly arrogant stance. “Can you possible satisfy me?”

In his fantasy, he laughed at her audaciousness.

She turned and ran, playing their game, demanding he follow if he intended to have her.

Never was there any doubt, not even in his thoughts. At a full run, he chased her through the foliage. Leaves slapped him, the rain coating them flinging in every direction.

She darted around trees.

He did, too, and broke through plants towering over them.

Insects scattered.

In the distance, a birdlike creature called to its mate, its full-throated cry cutting through the heavy quiet.

Other males in his pack watched from the shadows, waiting for him to fail so they could mount her.

Never.

He’d been alone too long, without a female’s comfort and warmth, her concern for his safety telling him he mattered.

His feet pounded the soil, and his lungs burned. His entire being desired her.

He bolted past her.

She gasped at his unexpected move then pivoted, guessing his intent, and tried to retrace her steps.

Too late.

He was faster than she was and far more determined.

With one arm around her waist, he pulled her against him. Her plush ass nuzzled his cock, making it harder. She smelled like female and animal need.

A submissive purr spilled from her. She turned her face to his, lips parted.

He captured her mouth and thrust his tongue inside. Her wet heat heightened his senses. Warmth burst through him.

Willingly, she suckled his tongue, proving her desire.

Primitive need consumed his every thought. He kissed her deep, long, savagely, the animal part in him freed by passion.

She parted her lips even more, inviting him to take her.

They sank to the ground. He directed her to her hands and knees. Her hair, as he imagined it, fell forward and swept the jungle floor.

She lifted her buttocks to expose her openings for his use. A servile yet shameless position. Her cunt was moist, glistening from her excitement, her soft folds plump from arousal.

He lifted his cock to her opening but didn’t penetrate. Other males in his pack edged closer, smelling his lust and hers. Their eyes glittered in the shadows.

He recognized their need.

His was too great to wait another second. On an assured thrust, he drove his cock into her waiting cunt. Her unimaginable warmth pulled a gasp from him. He trembled then drove his shaft deeply and fully into her until they touched, proving his claim. She belonged to him…always would. Her sheath was snug, a wondrous prison confining him in the best possible way.

Welcomed delight dashed up his chest and arms. His flesh tingled. He pulled back and thrust, his balls so tight they didn’t move. A shudder escaped him. He—

Footfalls sounded, breaking into his thoughts. Voices mingled with the other racket.

Male and female workers exited a tall beige building called a hospital on this plane.

About Tina:

Tina’s an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste – ‘heat with heart’ – for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised her work. She’s won Readers’ Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. She’s featured in the Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning romances, she worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

On a less serious note: she’s an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brakes for Mexican restaurants, and has been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally while wolfing down tostadas. She’s flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an ‘electricity for dummies’ book, and is horribly shy despite the hot romances she writes.

I’m Teaching a Course on Erotic Short Stories at Swanwick Writers’ Summer School in August

Swanwick Short Course Leader Lucy FelthouseHi everyone,

I’m thrilled to announce I will be teaching at the superb Swanwick Writers’ Summer School in August once again. I am running a two-part course on how to write erotic short stories that stand out.

Here’s the full description:

Are you looking to try your hand (or should that be pen?) at something different? Perhaps even risqué? Maybe you’ve written erotic short stories before, but haven’t been successful at getting any published. Whatever your circumstances, if you’re looking to make your erotic short stories stand out (in a good way) then this short course is for you.

The sessions will be led by long-time writer and editor, Lucy Felthouse. With well in excess of one hundred erotic short stories published, and countless others edited, Lucy has plenty of experience in this field. Pick up hints and tips, hear some examples, take part in some fun exercises to get your creative juices flowing, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

The first session will consist of an introduction, some hints and tips, an example and some time for working on your own piece. The second session will provide the opportunity for another exercise, group discussion and a Q&A section.

*Note: 18+ only. Expect bad language and sexual references. This course will be a safe space, nothing will be shared outside of it, and delegates will not be expected to read out their work unless they want to.

This particular course is on the 13th August, though the writers’ school runs all week and has a schedule jam-packed with fantastic sessions, workshops and tutorials.

For more information and to book your place, visit the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School website.

Happy Reading,
Lucy x

Celebrate My Brand-New Website with 20% off eBooks!

A New Lick of PaintHi lovelies,

I have been insanely busy lately, and a big part of the reason why is that all three of my websites (this one, Writer Marketing Services and Erotica For All) have had massive overhauls, moved to new systems and new servers. So it’s been an enormous amount of work in the background (not to mention the even more enormous amount of work done by the guys who are now hosting my sites), but I’m really pleased with the final result. There will probably be things I tweak and change along the way, but for now I’m happy the sites are all more up to date, faster and better designed. I’d love to know your thoughts – send me an email or let me know in the comments.

Anyway, to celebrate this new lick of paint, and to thank you all for your valuable support, I’ve set up a discount code to get yourselves 20% off all eBooks on my direct store. Not only are you bagging yourselves bargains, you’re supporting me, as except for processing fees incurred from PayHip and Stripe (the site host and payment processor), I’m not paying a middleman a cut of my profits. So I get more of the money and am paid much quicker. You also own the books you’ve purchased and can transfer the files between your devices and computer.

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to my direct store and get shopping. Just enter the code LICKOFPAINT at the checkout to apply your discount. There’s no minimum purchase amount, and the offer is running until 14th March.

Happy Reading!
Lucy x
