Sunday Snog - Shared Too
As promised this weeks Sunday Snog is from SHARED TOO, the sequel to SHARED.
Excerpt taken from near the beginning the book...
Feeling hot, I shrugged off my fleecy sweater and wiped my forearm over my brow. Straightening, I sensed the stable darkening as a long shadow stretched around my feet.I turned and pressed a hand to my chest, startled by a second presence when I'd been lost in my thoughts.Standing dead center in the doorway, filling half the space with his broad shoulders was Quinn, silhouetted by the setting sun that shone golden behind him like a full-body halo. He wore an expensive, tailor-made suit. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets and his short dark hair was highlighted around his ears and neck by the light. I couldn't make out his expression."You made me jump," I said. "The dogs didn't bark.""I'm sorry about that." His voice was deep and drawling—he still had an American twang even after all these years. "They didn't look up from their bones."He stepped through a shard of light dancing with dust motes. I stared up at him as his face came into focus. He looked so brooding, black brows low, mouth set, and my heart somersaulted—I was anxious as to the outcome of his day."Well?" I asked. "How did it go?"He swallowed and the sound was noisy in the quiet stillness."Quinn," I said more firmly. "How did it go?"In a sudden rush he stepped forward and grabbed me around the waist. Lifted me into the air and spun me a full three-sixty. "I got it. I damn well got the money, Ariane.""Oh, wow!" I put my hands on his shoulders and smiled down at his delighted face as he hoisted me higher still. "You did? Really?" I knew how much this meant to him."Yeah, really. Two million for the next six months with a potential further two if the research looks promising." He pressed his lips to mine in a hard, excited kiss. "And it will, I know it will. Initial trials are right on track." He set my feet on the floor but kept me pulled up against his body."I'm thrilled for you, Quinn." I slid my hands up the smooth lapels of his silver-gray jacket. "I didn't doubt you'd make a good case for the grant, but two million. It was asking a lot.""Yeah, I know, but think how much they'll make if I can prove that 'their' immune suppressants work. They'll be rolling in it." He threaded his fingers into my hair and tipped my face to his. "Plus, and more importantly, I really think this is going to save lives."I smiled up at him. His black eyes sparkled with triumph. Or so I thought. Because then he bent his head and kissed me—hot, wet and thoroughly. I kissed him back, loving his dark-chocolate flavor and his spiced scent. There was something about the kiss that told me the sparkle in Quinn's eyes had more to do with lust than pharmacology."The girls got to school okay?" he asked, pulling back just far enough to study my face."Yes, fine.""Good." He was kissing me again, his hands sliding up and down my back, over my butt and thighs, sending tingles of sensation through my clothes and onto my skin. "No more having to be quiet and discreet then," he said breathlessly as he kissed over my cheek and onto my neck."No." I pushed my hands into his hair, messed it up and offered myself for his kiss. His chin, coated in short evening stubble, scratched my flesh in a wickedly tempting way. "No more having to be quiet, no more having to wait until nighttime and locking the door." I leaned harder against his body. The steely length of his erection prodded my stomach.He moaned and squeezed me all the tighter. "Let's celebrate," he murmured."What, the pledge or the fact we can have sex when and wherever we want to again?""Both." Sneaking his hand up the inside of my t-shirt, he filled his palm with my breast—massaging and kneading, drawing my nipple to a stiff peak through the satin.I whimpered in delight and shoved at his jacket. Celebratory sex sounded like a great idea. He released me for a split second and the expensive jacket slipped down his arms and landed on the dusty floor with a quiet whump.
I hope you enjoyed that sexy little extract - sorry to stop it just before it gets seriously hot!
If you get time, my HOT ICE novel SLAP SHOT is up for book of the week at Whipped Cream - votes are based on whether or not you enjoy the review. If you enjoy what the reviewer said about my sexy hockey story you can vote HERE.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Moving House!
What is it about moving home that requires every room to be Christened? - and I don't mean with a blessing and some holy water! We moved a while ago, and sort of like making every room our own, we had to, you know - do it within those four walls! We drew the line at the utility room - although of course the washing machine could have been a whole load of fun (Mmm, perhaps I shouldn't rule it out after all) and the hall stairs have yet to see action, but that's maybe for the best since there is a long glass window by the front door and we would be on full display. Luckily the back garden is private but we didn't have the best of weather this summer!!
I love our new home now, to start with it felt like someone else's, or a hotel, but now it not only has our things in it but also sweet, sexy memories.

Brick Dust and Bedsprings by Lucy Felthouse
Check out this great new short story by Lucy Felthouse - I'm so loving the title, can't wait to read it!!
There are chores to be done, but it's much more fun to stand at the window and watch the rippling muscles and sweaty torsos of the men paving her driveway - her window sill never got cleaned so thoroughly before!But when sexy brothers Marcus and Jamie catch their customer looking, the action rapidly moves from the front of the house to the bedroom…
Lucy is a graduate of the University of Derby, where she studied Creative Writing. During her first year, she was dared to write an erotic story - so she did. It went down a storm and she's never looked back. Lucy has had stories published by Cleis Press, Noble Romance, Ravenous Romance, Summerhouse Publishing, Sweetmeats Press and Xcite Books. She is also the editor of Uniform Behaviour and Seducing the Myth.

Excerpt from Brick Dust and Bedsprings -
I heard the rumble of an engine, and craned my neck to look out of the window. Yes, they were here. My lips curved into a smile, and I scuttled out to meet them."Morning!" I chirped brightly. The two men turned from their van at the sound of my voice."Christ," exclaimed the larger and older of the two, "I wasn't expecting you to be up at this hour!" It was nine in the morning."You cheeky so and so. I'm not that lazy. Besides I had to get up to move the car. You'd have struggled to dig the drive up with my car on it, wouldn't you?"He winked cockily at me. "Mine's a coffee, please. Two sugars, plenty of milk.""Yes, Marcus. God, what did your last slave die of? Jamie?" His brother looked up from the papers he was shuffling."Um, I'm alright for now actually.""Are you sure? I was only messing about!""Yeah, I'm fine, I'll have one later."I sauntered back into the house and started making drinks. I'd already flicked the kettle on in anticipation of their arrival, and as I poured the milk into Marcus' mug I chuckled to myself. I'd delib¬erately used a pink one, just to piss him off. It wasn't exactly the most manly of mugs, as I'm sure you can imagine. Mind you, it would take more than that to rob Marcus of his masculinity. Mmm.He wasn't my usual type. I usually go for the more classic good-looking guy. You know, clean-shaven, nicely dressed, and all that. Marcus definitely didn't fall into that category. He wasn't ugly, by any means, but he'd never be on the cover of a magazine either. And you certainly wouldn't take him home to meet your parents. But he still oozed sexiness out of every pore. Whether it was the fact that he was rough around the edges, I don't know. Maybe I was looking for a bit of rough.I handed him his coffee with a cheeky smile. After a question¬ing glance at the mug, he took a sip. He winced as the hot liquid scalded his tongue. He swallowed slowly. I watched his Adam's apple contract and relax and felt my face start to heat up.Against my better judgment I studied him: his broad chest, huge biceps, strong-looking thighs clad in denim. Christ. I felt my pussy twitch involuntarily and closed my eyes. When I opened them again, he was looking at me. Oops. A moment of charged silence, then he smiled, all the while staring at my chest. I glanced down, and wanted to die of embarrassment. My nipples were rock hard and straining against the thin cotton top I was wearing."Must be cold," I blurted, not wanting him to know the effect he was having on me. Marcus looked at me, then glanced up at the burning sun. He raised his eyebrows."Right," I mumbled, desperate to get away. "I've got chores to do indoors; gimme a shout if you want anything.""Anything?" he enquired.

Sunday Snog
This week's Sunday Snog is taken from SHARED which was my début novel at Ellora's Cave. It's racy, its steamy and its also romantic.
This book is about the pleasures of a threesome as lucky Ariane snares the delectable Quinn and Liam. The scene below is taken from just after they have established the way their relationship is going to work and Ariane has spent an afternoon waiting for her men to come home...enjoy.
"So I wait all day," I said with a smile. "And you both appear at the same time." I looked up from my painting of the bay, which was more or less complete."Yeah, like buses," Liam said, striding across the living room and lifting me to my feet. "Two come along at once." He bent his head and kissed me soft and gentle. My knees weakened and I leaned into his granite body, wrapped my arms around his shoulders and molded to him as he held me up."I think in this house it's more like three come at once," Quinn said in his most drawling, sexy voice. He tossed his jacket over the back of the sofa and walked over to Liam and me.Liam pulled his mouth from mine and I felt Quinn cup my cheek. "Hey," he said. His black eyes flashed and a muscle flexed in his cheek. "You had a good day?"I nodded and reached for a kiss. As Liam held me tight, Quinn delved deep into my mouth. Our tongues began a wild dance and I slipped one hand from Liam to wind around Quinn's waist. His kiss was tighter, harder, there was something wilder about it than Liam's but I adored both sensations and being able to swap from one to the other was idyllic."I've missed you this afternoon," Liam said, brushing my hair aside and stooping to kiss my neck. "Been thinking of your body," he said onto my skin. "Been remembering that adorable little shout you do just before you come, it makes me hard, so hard."I splayed my fingers and pressed against the back of his neck, urging on his kissing and his talking. His words were like syrup running into my veins and pooling sweetly between my legs. How these guys could get me so turned-on so quickly was amazing. I guessed it was one of the benefits of having two lovers."I want to hear it again," Liam said into my ear. "I want to hear it shouted out, loud and wild…" he paused, "around my cock."A whimper of desire escaped my lips, which Quinn caught in his mouth. Liam pressed his body closer and his erection shoved against my stomach. He was right, he was hard from thinking about my little shout of ecstasy. Really hard.Quinn snaked a hand up my top, delved inside my bra and tweaked my nipple."Do you want that, Ariane?" he asked in a gravelly voice, palming the underside of my breast. His breath was heated and coming faster by the second. "Do you want to suck Liam's cock while I make you come? Would that thrill you, would it make you feel adored and cherished?"Did I want it? Hell yes!
Next week I'll pick a snog from the sequel to Shared, Shared Too for you to enjoy. See you then.
