Sunday Snog

Welcome to Sunday Snog! This week a smooch from my sexy new cougar story TOY BOY - out now!



“I see them.”Sullivan moved down to the swim platform. “Come here.” He held out his hand.I took it and stood next to him. My heart was thumping with excitement. Seeing wild dolphins was on my bucket list. “Do you think they’ll come over?”“They might. They’re inquisitive.”I nibbled my bottom lip, and hope burst within me as the first one we’d seen slid through the water toward us. It came right up close and circled at the end of the boat. Its tail broke the surface of the water in a delicate wave. “He looks like he’s smiling,” I whispered. I could make out its face, its glossy skin, its curious eyes.“Beautiful,” Sullivan said, releasing my hand and winding his arm around my waist. He tugged me close and my body came into alignment with his.I pressed my hand to my mouth, almost too scared to breathe in case I scared the creature away.“He’s looking at us,” Sullivan said quietly.Sure enough, the dolphin had his head just out of the water, tipped slightly, and was studying us the way we were him.“I wonder what he’s thinking,” I said.“That I’m one hell of a lucky guy to have such a gorgeous woman in my arms.”I dragged my attention from the dolphin and twisted within Sullivan’s embrace.His gaze was on me, not the dolphin. His eyes were full of adoration, desire, need…love.I pulled in a deep breath. Everything seemed to have stilled, the rocking of the boat, the birds, the slight breeze.His mouth was parted a fraction, and I thought of his soft lips on my cheek the night before. His pecs had been so hard beneath my hands, and the feel of his breaths at my ear had sent a tingle whispering over my scalp.“Kay,” he murmured, slipping his other arm around me and pulling me close. “Please…” There was a desperate, anxious note in his voice.I reached up and pressed my palms against the sides of his face, gently flattening the fuzz of pale stubble. I pushed my body into his. I needed this. I needed him. It was what we both wanted, so why resist?I pushed all the nagging doubts, the shock, the hurt at his omission, from my mind, went onto my toes, my breasts dragging against his chest, and drew his face closer to mine.Shutting my eyes, I kissed him softly, a closed-mouth peck that lingered.He groaned.The sound filled my ears and sent blood rushing to the juncture of my thighs. I kissed him harder.Suddenly, he took control. He opened his mouth, slanted his head and delved his tongue between my lips. His arms tightened around me, and he dragged me closer, squeezing me up against his body.I felt so small wrapped up in him. His strength surrounded me, and his sun-hot skin heated me. I felt heady with it, turned on. I was a woman who needed a man.This man.His tongue tangled with mine, warm and wet, and I tasted coffee and maybe a hint of mint. It was a luscious, dark, masculine flavor that was rich and sexy. I didn’t realize how much I’d been missing the taste of a man until this moment.I slid my hands behind his neck and drew his face nearer. My heart was clattering, and a tug of longing was pulling at the muscles between my legs.A length of flesh was hardening against my abdomen. Through Sullivan’s swim shorts and my clothing, his erection was growing.Fuck, it felt amazing.I wanted him. I really did. I wanted to experience all of the filthy, fun things we’d talked about, that he’d described in detail. I wanted our ages not to be an issue. I was free—free to love and have sex and take what I wanted.



Getting something unexpected can be a shock, but it can also be a wonderful treat, if you allow yourself to indulge, that is.
Kay is bubbling with excitement. She’s booked a sailing holiday of a lifetime in Greece with a man she’s fallen for hook, line and sinker. They met on the Internet. She’s from Oxford, he’s from Washington State. She’s a business lecturer, he runs his own successful business.
They’re perfect for each other, and she can’t wait to meet him and spend time in and out of his bed, allowing him to seduce her for real and not just with softly spoken words over the telephone.
But when she arrives in the idyllic port of Fiscardo, she’s in for a shock. There’s a reason Sullivan’s photographs were grainy, and it’s not because he’s sporting a potbelly or balding as she’d suspected. It’s because he’s over a decade younger than her and could rival any Greek god in the looks department. What’s more, his sex appeal and lust for her is off the scale.
Should Kay take what she can with her ‘toy boy’ and have some fun in the sun or hop on the first plane back to England? It’s a tricky decision for a woman who believed she couldn’t be surprised by life anymore.

My Sexy Saturday - Our Sexy Galaxy ~ @MySexySaturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSSAuthors

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday. This week a few from my new release TOY BOY. Kay is shocked when the man she's been having a long distance relationship turns out to be much younger than she expected!

He rubbed at his temple. “I’m sorry. I was falling for you. I didn’t want you to just brush me off as a horny, young guy who had a crush on you.”“Well, it would have been easier to brush you off over the phone or in an email than to come all the way to Greece to do it.”He shook his head and reached for me.“No,” I said, taking a step back.“Watch it.” He grabbed my arm and yanked me forward.I gasped and glanced downward at the water I’d been about to fall into.“Be careful,” he said, pulling me against the length of his body. “The water in the harbor is deep.”I pressed my palms against his sun-warmed skin and looked up.“It’s me,” he said, winding his arms around my waist and settling his hands on the small of my back. “The guy you’ve been talking to and emailing for months. The guy you’ve been making plans with and having fun with—sexy fun with. What’s age? It’s just a number. It’s still me. I haven’t changed because you’ve seen me.”“You don’t understand,” I said. “We can’t be together.”“Of course we can.”

Anything Goes!

I wrote Escape to the Country a few years ago now, it was a real indulgence of menage a trois sex and many pairings. It's seriously sexy from the word go and the heroine gets to experience a host of new erotic treats.

When the stress of city living takes its toll on Annie and Tim, a dirty weekend in the country visiting sexy friends proves to be just the antidote.
London life is hard going for Annie and Tim, and despite being in love, they’re just not hitting the spot in the bedroom.So, in an attempt to put the steam back into their relationship, Tim whisks Annie to the Cotswolds to visit Matt and Jane his uber-cool, sexually liberal friends from University.
As the temperature heats to melting point in the chocolate box cottage so does the sex, and Annie, with the help of her hosts, discovers a variety of hidden carnal desires, not just in herself but also Tim.
Who would have thought he’d be into that? Who would have thought ‘that’ would have her buzzing from head to toe?

INDUSTRY REVIEWS
Reviewed by Rebecca Black Erotica This book does exactly what it says on the tin. It's short. It's hot. It's satisfying.
For such a short book it really packs a punch. It's got F/F, menage, M/M, and F/F/M sex scenes. Very hot and lusty. I loved it. Lily Harlem is one of the best around for writing menage and she's got a seriously good back catalogue. So if you like this definitely check out her other books.

A luscious bed time read...boy is it hot!...If you want a quick, satisfying read with lots of people getting it on, then look no further.

Was it well written? Yes, very. Was it hot? Yes, very-very-very. Did it hold my attention? Yes, in a way I never thought possible...the mark of an excellent author...I can honestly say I will never, ever forget this book. Never. Do I recommend it? Good Lord, yes. Yes, yes, yes!

Eroticon 2015

Eroticon 2015 is fast approaching! Here's the low down...
Eroticon is the UK's conference for sex bloggers and erotica writers. A weekend of workshops where you can learn, share, network and meet the people behind the names on your computer screen.
Eroticon 2015 takes place on 1st & 2nd of August in Bristol UK.
There's loads going on over the weekend, including get-togethers on the Friday and Saturday evenings. The Brit Babes love Eroticon and in the past have been there in force, but this year the dates haven't worked so well for everyone. However, myself and Kd Grace are not only attending but also running a 45 minute creative writing workshop on the Saturday afternoon.

There are lots of great speakers lined up and you can read all about them here.
The session Kd and I are running is called Crafting Creativity and is aimed at new writers preparing to publish their work for the first time, but will also be of benefit to bloggers who want to polish their short stories and create a more professional image for their blog. 
The session will start by discussing the big picture when writing erotica/erotic romance (timelines, characterisation, plot) and  aspects such as avoiding head hopping, ‘showing not telling’ and then work down to the fine details of crafting each sentence. By the end of the session the audience will have a better understanding of how to create an ‘arc’ in their story and how to make characters believable and 3D. They should also be able to analyse their own writing to eliminate common mistakes that make their work look unpolished and unappealing to publishers and in turn readers.



You can check out the Eroticon Blog and find out more on the website. If you haven't been to Bristol before it's a modern and vibrant city on the River Avon about 2 hours west of London.



Got any questions? Leave them right here and I will do my best to answer them... hope to see you there.

Sunday Snog

Welcome to Sunday Snog. This week a smooch from Dr Leo and his dream man Malik - Dark Warrior.

Back Cover information
While some passions live on the surface, others—wilder, darker passions—have to be kept buried deep.
Dr. Leo Rotherham is following his calling by working in rural Kenya for the charity Medics On Hand. While he expected a primitive way of life and limited medical supplies, what he doesn’t bargain on is falling for handsome village warrior, Malik.
Malik is well respected, knowledgeable and loyal to his tribe. He’s also beautiful, brave, modern and, much to Leo’s dismay, married—isn’t he?
No, it turns out Malik is as free as the animals that roam the African plains at night.
Soon the tension is building between the two men and Leo isn’t sure if he’s coming or going. Whenever he’s around Malik he can’t help but notice the reflected look of lust in his eyes and feel the longing sizzling between them.
Malik stands too close, not close enough. Forbidden attraction simmers between them and the need grows to dizzying heights. But dare they admit to each other what it is they want? And are they brave enough to act on their desires and be honest about their lust? One thing is for sure, a passion this big, this powerful, can’t be contained and it’s all going to explode in the most spectacular of ways.


The water was cold, as Malik had warned, but Leo was glad of the refreshing sensation that lapped around him as he waded into it. He studied the way the sun reflected off Malik’s dark shoulders, making his flesh seem almost mirror-like. He’d have to remember to put more protection on his delicate skin soon, especially if he was going to spend the afternoon naked.Malik turned, released Leo’s hand and dipped his shoulders into the water. He then pushed off and floated on his back, staring up at the sky.Leo dunked himself completely under, scrubbing at his face with his palm while he was beneath the surface. The sound of the water echoed in his ears and his heart was still pounding. Thankfully, the chill had taken the edge off his erection and the need to come had abated.“You like?” Malik asked when Leo surfaced.“It’s heavenly.” Leo turned onto his back and let the water support him. “And the sky is so perfect.” He studied the crystal-clear azure. The sun was just out of his line of vision but he could see the white heat spreading like an artist’s wash over the sky.His cock breached the surface of the water and he turned, took several fast strokes and reached the opposite side of the bank.Malik had swum toward the reeds, his body mostly submerged, as though he preferred to swim like a crocodile.A shudder of desire filled Leo. He wanted Malik—and soon. He hoped he was quick at recovering.Malik dove downwards and his whole body disappeared. Leo stared, waiting for him to resurface.Several bubbles popped and spread small ripples.A knot of worry wound itself through Leo.He’d been down a long time.More bubbles then nothing.Leo stood, trying to see clearer, but the section of water Malik had disappeared into was the darkest patch of the river. Possibly twenty feet deep. He couldn’t make out a thing.Leo was unable to wait any longer. He lunged forward and headed for the reeds, thrusting out his arms in long, powerful strokes. He’d have to go down and find him. Horrendous images went through his mind. Perhaps he had his foot trapped in a rock or a savage creature was attacking him.Suddenly, right in front of Leo, Malik burst from the water. He took in a huge breath and grinned.“Fuck,” Leo said, coming to an abrupt stop. “You scared the shit out of me.”“What? Why?”“Going under for all that time.”“I wasn’t under long. I was just checking my nets.”“Nets?”“Yes. I have captured us some dinner, for tonight.” He held up a black stringy bag that contained two writhing silver fish.Leo grinned. “Looks good.” He pushed backward, moving to the bank where he could stand.“They will be. I will cook them for you,” Malik said, following.Once at the bank, Malik tied the fish bag to a twisted root so that the creatures were still in the water. “They will stay fresh like this. Until we have built up our appetite again.”“Mmm, I think we should start working on that soon.” Leo could stand now and the water sat at his waist. The sun on his wet skin tingled and he relished feeling cool for the first time all day.“I agree,” Malik said, coming to stand next to him. “In fact, I think we should start right now.” He leaned forward and kissed Leo—a long, deep kiss that included lots of tongue and a close cuddle.Leo’s cock pressed up against Malik’s abdomen. Just contact with his flesh, even in the cold water, had blood rushing to Leo’s shaft. God, he needed this man.Malik slid his hand between their bodies and wrapped his fingers around Leo’s erection.Leo broke the kiss. “Damn, I love you touching me. Every time feels like the first time.” “That was hot. That first time, in your room. I had to detour on the way home.”“You did?” Leo moved his hips in time with the slow, steady rub of Malik’s hand on his cock.“Yeah, I had to find a quiet spot and relieve myself. My dick was about to explode.” “And you thought of me?” Leo asked, struggling now not to flutter his eyes shut. The sensation of Malik’s hand on him in the water was blissful—enough to turn him on but not enough to have him coming.“Of course I thought of you. You’re all I have thought of, Leo, since the first moment I saw you.”

Saturday Spankings

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. Here's a swift slap from my new MM novel Dark Warrior.

While he expected a primitive way of life and limited medical supplies, what he doesn’t bargain on is falling for handsome village warrior, Malik.Malik is well respected, knowledgeable and loyal to his tribe.

One thing is for sure, a passion this big, this powerful, can’t be contained and it’s all going to explode in the most spectacular of ways.

“You want me,” Malik said. He grinned in a way that oozed sexual prowess and his eyelids became heavy.“Yes.” Leo felt dizzy with lust, his thoughts on one-track only—fucking. It was all that could happen next, if it didn’t he’d go mad. “Now. Fuck me now.”“Demanding white man, aren’t you?”In a sudden, brisk movement, Malik spun Leo around.Leo grunted as Malik tipped him onto the bed. He supported himself on his hands with his arse in the air and feet on the floor. He wished he didn’t have the ugly healing stings on his back, but that couldn’t be helped and besides, Malik didn’t seem to mind.A hard slap landed on his left buttock. “You know what demanding gets you, don’t you, Doctor?”“What?” Leo asked gruffly. The smack had created a burning sensation on his arse that sent delicious tingles spreading outward over his flesh.“Everything.”

Sunday, May 24, 2015 A Sexy Delight ~ @MySexySaturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSSAuthors

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday. This weeks' theme is a sexy delight so here are a few from Dark Warrior my new MM novel just out and set in Kenya.

The view from their shelter was stunning, something he’d remember always—the clear blue sky, the sand colored cliffs surrounding them and the sparkling river. And Malik sitting next to him... Beautiful, sexy Malik and a whole night stretched out before them. It was a fantasy come true. The anticipation alone was an erotic memory and something he was happy to savor rather than rush to the main event, now that they were here.“Food.” Malik passed Leo a plate created from a glossy green leaf.“Fish?” Leo studied the golden flakes of flesh. “Thank you.”“It is smoked. It is good. Try it.”Leo already was. A burst of flavor spread on his tongue—woody yet delicate. He chewed through the softness and was eager for more.Malik laughed. “You were hungry.”“Yes, starving,” Leo said with a grin and scooped up another mouthful.They ate in silence. Leo sipped on the last of the water from his bottle and watched a small bird, with a long Y-shaped tail, flitting about in the reeds. When he’d finished, he set the leaf-plate to one side. “Thank you, Malik. That was wonderful.”Malik nodded once and glanced at the empty plate. “I am glad.”Leo stood, pulled off his top then folded it over the upper edge of the canopy, hoping that would discourage any slithering creatures from making it their home. As he turned to sit, he noticed the lingering gaze Malik gave his body.He sucked in his stomach a little, knowing it highlighted his abs, and enjoyed a rush of blood to his cock. Finally. They were alone. Alone, fed and with all the privacy they could ever hope for.
