"Reindeer Games" Finally Releases ~ First Up ~ Comet by Rawiya
This week's a doosie for the
Wickedly Sexy Writers
and you won't want to miss a second of it!!
Yesterday, our little writers' group celebrated the release of a joint effort we've had in the works since Spring of earlier this year.
The idea came from our lovely Drea Layne, as a way to placate her OCD tendencies (a trait which we adore BTW!)... and what an undertaking it's been.
Thankfully that's all behind us as our first ever anthology-slash-compilation hits e-readers everywhere.
Allow me to introduce the fruits of our labor... Reindeer Games!!
We'll start this week of fantastic stories off with one of my favorite co-authors, Rawiya:
Take it away, honey!
Greetings readers. I’m excited about my new release, Comet part of the Reindeer Games collection from Secret Cravings. This is a first for me; a paranormal story since I stay in the present contemporary. And of course, I had to add my own little touch which was an established IR couple in love.
At first, I thought it would be a ménage. I do love a great MMF with a sexy black female and two males trying to gain her love and trust while also maintaining a relationship on their own. But instead, I got just the married twosome and a gay man in different situations. The ending was completely different from what I expected and made for a very interesting short story. Doing this under 15k was quite a feat, since the characters Shelba and Gabriel “Comet” Marrisco as well as my shy charity worker, Denny want sequels. All in all, it’s pretty exciting and I look forward to expanding on these characters in the near future.
Thanks for listening to me today. Here is a sample of my
book, Comet.
Gabriel “Comet” Marrisco is blessed with good looks, has a great career as a veterinarian and has a lovely wife named Shelba however, in December, he’s obligated to take off and be part of Santa’s Sleigh Team of Reindeer. Because of his deal with Father Christmas, he must make a regular human’s Christmas better than the last and grant a wish.
Denny Brothers, well respected charity worker, young, handsome, and unfortunately socially inept is searching for a boyfriend. Denny has never had a man and Father Christmas has asked Comet to find him a date and assist him in falling in love with someone else. However, Denny has a crush on Comet and the feelings are mutual. Will Comet be able to find him a mate when he wants him for himself? His very livelihood depends on his decision.
Excerpt:Just when he thought he’d never get off the phone with her, a small knock saved him from further misery. “Yes, listen, um, I need to go. Someone’s at the door.” Thank God! “Thank you, you do the same. Goodbye.” Quickly, he hung up and loosened his necktie. “Come in.” Gabriel had no clue who had knocked, but was relieved they had.“Hi there, Gabriel. Are you busy?” Denny Brothers, his good friend came in, looking sheepishly around the room as if he was checking for other people. Gabriel smiled and waved him in. He’d known Denny for a few months now and respected him for all the charity work he’d done for kids and pets. “No, not at all.” He continued to watch Denny move. The blue pinstripe suit he was wearing fit him perfectly and gave great contrast to his eyes of a lighter hue. Perfectly toned skin, high cheekbones, and a chiseled face; Denny was so pretty for a man. Gabriel wondered why he couldn’t find a partner.Although Dr. Marrisco was happily married, it never stopped him from looking at other men or women. Shelba understood and did the same herself. They’d known the day they tied the knot they’d always look at others. Heck, they’d even brought a couple of men and women into their bedroom, but it wasn’t more than a one nighter. Often, he’d thought about asking Denny to join them, but he thought the kid would be too scared to do such a thing. Too bad I can’t break him in. “Thanks.” Denny grinned, seemingly turning two shades of pink. He took the seat in front of Gabriel and only met his gaze for a few seconds before quickly turning away. “I…um…there’s going to be a charity dance for the Cancer Kids Need Furry Friends, and I wanted to ask if you and Shelba could attend.” Gabriel smiled and nodded, “Of course, Denny. We’d love to.” He moistened his lips and got up from the chair. He loved seeing his younger friend squirm. Gabriel knew Denny had a crush on him. Dr. Marrisco sat directly in front of Denny to offer him a glimpse of the hard-on forming beneath his woolen trousers. “Um, great!” Again, the poor boy looked away and shifted in his chair. Gabriel noticed him shaking like a leaf. Feeling a bit guilty, he patted the charity counselor’s kneecap. “Relax, friend. It’s just you and me talkin’ right now. You got plans for the holiday?”“Er, no…you know my folks don’t want anything to do with me since I came out. The couple of friends I’ve got both have boyfriends. Looks like it’ll be just me and Preston this Christmas.” Denny sighed and folded his hands in his lap.Gabriel’s mood turned somber when Denny mentioned his sorry plight. What could he do to make Denny’s Christmas better? He had a couple of ideas, but he needed to talk it over with Shelba first. Though it may be a risk, it was worth a try. Denny was too special a person to be totally alone on Christmas. Denny and his beloved oversized chocolate lab needed friends for this joyous occasion. “No, we won’t let that happen. Let me talk with Shelba and see what we’ve got planned. Other than the dreaded run I’ve gotta make for Father Christmas every year delivering gifts to wonderful little children,” Gabriel said in jest and gritted his teeth. “I should be home shortly after two a.m. and we can make an evening of it.” Gabriel thought about keeping him for company and perhaps once he got comfortable, inviting him to bed. “Aw, no, Gabriel. I can’t intrude. You and Shelba should be alone on Christmas Day.” “We’ve spent plenty of them alone. We’d love to have you. I need to check if she’s made plans to go out. When is this charity gathering by the way?” Dr. Marrisco removed a pack of Marlboros from his pocket. The moment he did, he felt his nose redden and cheeks flush.Damn, Santa, I’m not on duty yet. Santa didn’t like his reindeer to indulge in any of their human vices so close to Christmas Day. Angry he couldn’t partake, he shoved it back inside his coat pocket. Being a reindeer was so difficult especially when you had some of the annoying owners that Dr. Marrisco had to deal with. To bad he couldn’t just deal with the animals and skip the humans.Hmph“Oh um, it’s on the twenty-third, so a week from today. That’s the only date I could get so close to Christmas. Otherwise they told us we’d have to wait ’til the second week of the New Year. These pups and cats from the People for Pets Society need owners and the kids at the hospital should be smiling this time of year. They are all terminally ill and should have something to cheer them up.”“Agreed.” Gabriel bowed and crossed his arms over his chest. “And you’re in need of friends too, so…why don’t you stay with us for that week and then the next. I don’t think wifey will mind one bit. We love having company over.” He winked.Denny appeared very uncomfortable with the suggestion and twitched his nose. “If it’s okay with Shelba then I accept.” “Good. I’ll talk with her about it tonight and when I get the yes, I’ll call you. We’ve got plenty of room for you and Preston. Plus, Klutz and Jinx will love to play with him. They get tired of each other at times. A new doggie ass to sniff would be fun for them.” He chuckled.Denny giggled nervously and got up. “Yeah I’m sure. Um, okay well, I’ll see you later. I need to go home and feed him now. I’m sure he’s wondering where I am and why I’m not home yet.” Denny shoved his hands in his pocket and he stared at the floor obviously to avert Gabriel’s heated gaze.“Alright then. I’ll call you after Shelba and I talk.” Gabriel gawked at the cute little butt in Denny’s trousers and salivated at the sight. He’d love to sink his shaft in between those ass cheeks and pound it until the young man cried out for more. Just thinking about it made his cock stir and squirt under his silk boxers. “Okay.” Denny scampered out of the office so fast he almost tripped. He opened the door. “Bye.” Quickly he shut it behind him

ADULT EXCERPT:
She held her breath when the oversized wolf emerged into the clearing. Every muscle in his broad shoulders flexed and she could see the rise and fall of his chest with every heavy breath he took. Tegan rose to her feet and reached for the thick fur around his neck. God, he’s so beautiful.Not nearly as breathtaking as you.“Wait?” She withdrew her hand. “You really can read my thoughts.”Can’t all wolves hear each other’s thoughts? He nudged her hand with his snout.“No.” Tegan splayed her fingers through his coat, tugging on it as she massaged the firm muscles between his shoulder blades. “I’ve never heard another wolf’s thoughts and as far as I know, none have ever heard mine.” This is crazy.We’re just special, I guess.“Yeah, I guess.”Tucker moved closer, rubbing himself against her thigh. Run with me.“Tucker, I…” Tegan drew his warm body near, hugging him to her leg. “Okay. Okay”Tucker eased back and sat on his haunches.Tegan swallowed hard as a flurry of angst dashed through her body. In order to run, her clothes had to go.Keenly aware of Tucker’s intense stare, Tegan removed his jacket and let it fall to the ground, her eyes fixated on his. “Are you going to watch me undress?” Her heart raced and she struggled to control the goose-bumps rippling across her skin as she awaited his reply.Do you want me to watch you?Tegan nodded. But not like that. Tucker immediately transitioned back into his human form and stood across from her, naked, and glistening with beads of perspiration. As her gaze trailed downward, moisture gushed between her legs when her eyes feasted upon his massive erection jutting upward toward his stomach. Holy Hell.Tucker ran his hand up the length of his shaft and thumbed the slit. He bit his bottom lip as though pleased to present himself to her. “Your turn.”“God, you’re beautiful.”“Nowhere near as breathtaking as you.”Tegan stepped closer, unbuttoning her blouse. “Have you ever been with a shifter?”Tucker swallowed hard, his eyelids lowering to half-mast as he visually took her in. “Didn’t even know I was a shifter until recently.”Dismissing his reply, Tegan moved on to her next question. “Why can’t other wolves hear me?”“I don’t know. Maybe no other wolf is meant to.”Good answer. She licked her lips, giving her instincts free reign over her body as she slinked toward him. “I can’t stop thinking about you. Your scent is everywhere.”Tucker reached out and cupped the back of her neck with his right hand, drawing her face closer, inches from his. “Not everywhere—yet.” With that, his mouth crashed into hers and a growl like none she’d ever heard echoed into the night. Tucker tore away her top and ran long, thick fingers up and down her back, pulling and tugging at her bra as his hot kisses trailed along her throat. “God, you smell so good.” Tucker dropped to his knees and quickly unfastened her jeans, jerking them down from side to side, licking her stomach and nipping at the tender skin on her hip bones as he ventured lower. Her panties were next and she stepped out of them as he guided them past her knees. “Now let’s see how you taste.”Tegan shuddered as he selfishly lapped at her freshly waxed mound. She sucked air through her teeth when he parted her lips and probed her clit with the hardened tip of his tongue.“Shit.” Her knees weakened and she felt herself losing the battle to stand.Tucker stopped and lowered her to the ground. In seconds, his lips found hers again. His tongue plunged deep and she sucked it, tasting her own tangy juices. “I want you so bad.” Tegan moaned.“Then have me.”

Exclusive sneak peek of Reindeer Games: Donner and Prancer's Story
Hello friends! Welcome back!!
I've mentioned this before, before, and I'm gonna mention it again today.
On December 17th, The Wickedly Sexy Writers will introduce their first ever Anthology/Compilation just in time for Christmas, from Secret Cravings Publishing.
REINDEER GAMES is comprised of SIX novellas about Santa's EIGHT magical reindeer...naughty or nice, they've all been up to a little mischief!!
Santa’s Reindeers. No one knows they’re shifters, able to change on that one special night of the year. They help the jolly guy in red bring smiles to millions of faces, but this elite group of men and woman are far from happy. Secrets and heartache interfere with the job they used to derive such pleasure from and something must be done. A shake-up within the ranks of his shifters is necessary and Santa is on it. He’ll make sure his reindeers get the happily ever after they so deserve, but they’re a stubborn lot. From the shadows he works his magic, pulling those strings and if he has his way they’ll all be playing naughty…Reindeer Games.
I've brought along an exclusive excerpt from Donner and Prancer's story. I so enjoyed these two characters and I hope you like them, too!
PG EXCERPT:Mira’s head spun and she strained to sit upright. How could she explain this? “Men like you don’t come home with women like me, Noah.”He shook his head. “Why?”He sounded like a broken record now. “Be-because,” she stammered. “Look at you.”Noah rose and stood by the sofa, gazing down at her. “What about me?”“Uh…well, you’re built like a Greek god and you have a reputation as a…” She searched for the correct words—words that held a little more delicacy than man-whore. “Ladies’ man?” “Humph.” He rested his hands on his hips. “Ladies’ man, huh?”“I was being polite.” Mira squirmed.Noah’s eyebrows arched high. “Is that so?” He folded his arms across his chest. “Why don’t you tell me how you really feel, Mira?”Bile shot up in the back of her throat as her nervous demeanor morphed into one a little more hostile. “How I really feel?” Dozens of irritating things about the man came to mind. Everything from his obnoxious, too-loud laugh, to the ugly reindeer sweater he wore to the Christmas party every friggin’ year. “Well…for starters, you brag about your conquests entirely too much.” She’d keep her comments limited to the facts rather than opinions. “You treat women like trophies and well…you seem to have a serious problem with my ass.” The last part flew out of her mouth so fast she had no time to reel it back in.His eyes widened. “What the hell does your ass have to do with anything?”Mira shot up from the sofa, squaring her shoulders with a newfound sense of power. “That’s exactly what I want to know.” She stomped around the coffee table, invigorated by a new sense of ire. “Every year you wait until we’re harnessed and about to take off with the sleigh and then you start talking about my ass.”Noah shook his head. “What are you talking about?”Was he serious? Puffing out her chest and adopting a deep, masculine bravado, Mira attempted to impersonate him. “Hey, Comet, who needs Rudolf’s nose, I have my own personal full moon to lead me around the globe.”Noah sat back down and lowered his head.“Well? Did you say that or not?” She stood before him on the verge of tears as the painful memory she’d tried so often to forget suddenly came rushing to the surface. “Let me guess…” Her bottom lip quivered and the back of her throat seized. She gulped away the ball of air strangling her. “It was just a harmless joke, right?”Noah’s eyes slowly found hers and his once seductive gaze darkened, and not in a romantic way. “Mira, I’m sorry. I’m a jerk.” He rose again and eased toward her. “I know that doesn’t excuse it, but I honestly didn’t mean anything by it.”Mira held her breath as she detected a note of sincerity in his tone. “It really doesn’t matter, anyway.” Her eyes burned from the building tears.Of all the shape shifters in the world, why did Donner have to be the man she couldn’t get out of her head?“It does matter.” He reached for her arm and ran a gentle hand up to her shoulder where he lightly squeezed. “Let me show you how much it matters.”

The Next Bog Thing Blog H0P!!
Welcome to a blog hop of a different kind...
At the bottom of this post you will find a list of authors I have specially chosen for you to check out. You will also have a chance to win a copy of my new release, Family Ties!
I was chosen by the three lovely authors below, whom I find quite talented and extraordinary...
Check out their sites:Suzan HardenErin SinclareGJ Elle
Here are the questions they posed:
What is the working title of your next book?Beta Heat
Where did the idea come from for the book?Beta Heat is book #2 in my "Under the Texas Moon"wolf-shifter series, following on the heels of just releases, "Family Ties."
What genre does your book fall under?This series is an erotic paranormal.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Ahhh, if I could have any actor play Blake, it would have to be, Steven R. McQueen from Vampire Diaries. (Yep, he's the grandson of the late, Steve McQueen)
As for Brenna, I really like Deborah Ann Woll from True Blood. Can you tell I am really into paranormal shows and books?
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?It's not so much a synopsis as it is a log line, but here goes:Can the love of a beta wolf compete with the rivaling top-dog, or does destiny prescribe to the theory of natural selection?
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?"Beta Heat", if accepted, will be published by Evernight Publishing.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?My books, Beta Heat included, generally take a month or two to complete, depending on distractions and taking time to promote new releases, not to mention the daily grind of raising kids and taking care of everyday business.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?Wolf at the Door by Rebecca Brochu (m/m)The Wolf Witch by Naomi ClarkWolfe's Lady by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphyand of course: Family Ties by Robin Badillo
Who or What inspired you to write this book?I have always written in one way or another, be it poetry or love letters to my late husband when we were much younger. I didn't start writing seriously until 2009 and it has been so much fun developing my craft and getting to know my muse.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?I try to write stories concerning everyday issues, and this one is more or less about the harmful ways those little prejudices we often make light of, can be harmful and hinder two young lovers from finding happiness. It's also about little lies of omission and just how dangerous even the smallest impropriety cam lead to disaster.
Visit the following blogs at your leisure and enjoy the new authors, books and possible prizes you may discover along the way from those offering free goodies.Have fun!!

Fang Deep in Vampires!!
Just in time for Halloween...Evernight Publishing has brought 13 authors togetherto bring you all the alpha vampires one anthology can handle!!Hold on to your knickers boys and girlsJUST VAMPShas arrived!!Join in the blog hop and you could win a copy of your own!
Blood, sex, and love.You shouldn’t always run away from things that go bump in the night… Evernight presents thirteen erotic vampire tales to sink your teeth into. Follow the moon’s glow through the shadows and let these delicious immortal alphas show you just how satisfying eternal life can be.
Be Warned: menage sex (MFM & MMF), anal sex, forced seduction, BDSM.
My story: Blood for BloodBlaise Rayburn has a score to settle, even if it means going against the very vampire she once loved. Forced to return to the clan she fled seven years before, the last thing she wants is to be near the man she left behind. Micah Sedaris accepted the hatred of the woman he loved, if only to ease his feelings of misplaced guilt. Responsible for her pain, Micah endured years apart from Blaise until she’s drawn back into the fold after the murder of his sire and predecessor.Anger burns as hot as concealed passion when the former lovers reunite, but more than their hearts are soon on the line. The Sedaris Empire has an enemy much closer than either vampire are prepared to accept. When a final showdown comes to a head, who will survive and who will be sacrificed when malevolent powers demand blood for blood?
Excerpt:“You fucking owe me, Micah.”Micah’s jaw clenched. “No, I owe Kaitlin and I owe Devéron, but I’m done begging for your approval or respect.”Blaise’s eyes widened and she moved as though she were about to pounce. “You sorry son of a—”“That’s enough!” Micah boomed. One of Micah’s bodyguards shifted to the edge of his seat, but Micah waved him off before he reached Blaise. “You will do what I say, when I say, and if you don’t like it, Scotty-boy here will take you home and make sure you don’t leave until I return to deal with you.” Micah licked his lips, eyeing the way her chest rose and fell. He inhaled deep, as the scent of her arousal danced into his nostrils. He’d know that decadent aroma anywhere. “In fact, you just may need a little reminder of how we operate around here. My uncle wouldn’t cross that line. I, on the other hand, have no such boundaries.”Blaise’s red eyes smoldered, and she sat back, silent, but noticeably seething with rage.Micah knew now that if he handled the situation just right, he would put an end to all of the anger, all of the hatred, all of the blame she’d placed on him for far too many years. He would indeed allow her to get out her frustrations, but not in the way she might have intended. Resistance is pointless and you know it, Blaise. This is going to happen.Her nostrils flared and Blaise turned away and stared out at the darkened sky. Micah let her be until they reached the warehouse where they were to meet Dani Bakori. As they exited the limousine, he reached for Blaise’s arm and backed her against the car. His guards faced away, scanning the area for signs of trouble while Creed walked to the front of the limo.“Look at me.” Micah spoke softly, doing his best not to be confrontational.Blaise kept her head turned to the side. Stubborn as always. “I said look at me.” He lowered his tone, demonstrating just how thin his patience had worn. Blaise glared up at him, her eyes filled to the rim with tears, but not yet spilling over.Micah gently dragged his knuckles across her delicate jawline, reminding himself how much he loved every inch of her, even those parts that loathed him. He would handle this with all the sensitivity she deserved, whether she wanted him to give it or not. “Seeing this woman will stir up serious emotions, but I want you—No, I expectyou to remember your training and the fact that you’re not only of a noble bloodline, but also a soldier for the Sedaris clan. Nothing she can say or do will bring back the ones we’ve loved. Respect their memory, respect yourself and respect your king.” He cupped the back of her neck with the fingers of his right hand and slicked his thumb over the crest of her cheekbone. “If she did this, you’ll get your revenge and I’ll gladly watch you end her. Nod if you understand.” Her brows twitched as her scowl softened. Blaise nodded. “Good.” He motioned to Creed and the guards. “Let’s go.”FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A COPY OF JUST VAMPS LEAVE A COMMENT ALONGWITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND VISIT THE OTHER AUTHORS ON THE ROMANCE ROOM WEBSITE!! http://trsparties.com/

Getting in some really, "Tight Spaces" with Author Kenra Daniels!!
Please help me welcome author, Kenra Daniels, and Amy Warner, the heroine from her novel, "Tight Spaces". Let's get to know Amy:Amy Warner is a little down as the anniversary of her break up with Darian approaches. After six years of supporting him while he established himself as a tattoo artist, she walked into his shop one evening after work, and found him between the knees of his new shop manager. She turned around and walked out, cutting Darian out of her life, but he kept trying to get her back. Amy, does your author ever try to take over the story? And how do you deal with it? Occasionally Kenra tries to micromanage us. She's usually pretty quick to figure it out, though, and back off. Every once in a while, though, she forgets whose story it is. Then we just sorta go on strike and let her muddle around on her own. It doesn't take long before she apologizes and goes back to letting us tell her the story. Is expressing love difficult for you? Why? Oh, absolutely! See, what I thought was love was just a farce. I didn't really love Darian, though I thought I did. I put up with all the little things that just didn't feel right, thinking it would get better. When things ended with Darian, I thought I'd never find someone new, and I didn't even try. When Jesse and I got together, finally, I figured it out. Is there a message you want to get across in this interview? I want women to know that settling in a relationship is a bad thing. If you just take what's available because nothing better has come along in a while, you're making a mistake. But you also can't waste your life waiting for a Prince Charming that doesn't exist. If you do, you might overlook the right man, just because he doesn't fit your expectations. If you could time travel, where would you go? Can I go twice? I'd want to go back to the early days of my relationship with Darian, and let it die a natural death. In reality, I did everything to try and salvage it, despite the signs that it wasn't right. Then I'd also go back to when I first met Jessie. Instead of fantasizing and wandering, I'd have let him know I was attracted to him right away. Because now I know he was interested in me, too. We wouldn't have wasted all those months. Where do you see yourself in five years? Five years, hmmm? Jesse and I will still be together, of course. That'll never change. In five years, who knows? Maybe there'll be a baby or two by then. We've talked about it a little, but haven't made any definite plans.
Now let's get to know Kenra Daniels!!Kenra Daniels lives in a tiny rural community in north eastern Kentucky with her very own Romance Novel Hero. In addition to Erotic Romance, Kenra writes Paranormal Romance, and has plans for Historical Romance, Urban Fantasy, and a few other things. She has a completely new paranormal being in development and will soon start those stories. With multiple other projects in the works, time and energy are her only limits.
A lonely woman goes dancing with friends to kick the Bad Breakup Anniversary Blues. Her fantasy-man is willing to help, until her lowlife ex ambushes him. With the first anniversary of the messy break up of a long-term relationship bearing down, Amy has the blues. When her friends suggest an evening at the Double Dare, she reluctantly agrees to go along. She doesn't do the casual sex thing, but it'll be good to spend time with her friends. Seeing Jesse at the Double Dare immediately cheers her up. She's fantasized over him for months. The evening gets more pleasant as they heat up the dance floor. Things go from hot to sizzling, until her ex shows up and confronts Amy in a low blow. Will his interference deter Jesse and Amy from continuing what could be the start of something wonderful?Excerpt: She joined several other club-goers in the line at the door and waited her turn to be admitted. The odor of mingled perfumes, colognes, BO, and cigarette smoke made her stomach roll a little before she became accustomed to it. The neon sign suspended on the wall several feet overhead flashed, eerily illuminating the faces of those waiting in bursts of red, green and blue. Macabre shadows danced around, at odds with the nearly tangible sense of eagerness emanating from most. Amy shook the images from her head before they could take root. A long-time fan of horror fiction and the paranormal, such idle fancies had a way of setting up housekeeping in her imagination, only to reappear later as nightmares.Amy let her gaze wander over those ahead of her in the line, trying to assess their status. Some were easy to tell, couples leaning against one another, lost in their own secret world. A few lone males stood out, conspicuous in their rarity. Nearly everyone in the line had at least one companion. A trio of barely legal guys stared at Amy, bold as brass, and talking in low voices with an occasional laugh thrown in. They didn't bother to keep their topic of discussion private, wondering aloud which of them Amy would choose to fuck first.A young woman, svelte in a black mini dress, pin straight platinum blonde hair swinging about her ass, approached Amy from the side. "Watch out for those guys." She indicated the three young men with a nod of her head. "They won't take no for an answer, even if it means following a girl out of the parking lot at closing. And it looks like they've picked you for their target tonight." She moved away before Amy could ask any questions.Amy decided to take the warning seriously. A smart woman didn't take that kind of chance. She deliberately avoided making eye contact when the one in the middle tried to smile at her.The young man drew sullen brows down when she refused to play the game, to the delight of his companions. "Uptight bitch. Be seeing you." The very real threat in his tone sent a chill down Amy's spine. As a precaution, she surreptitiously studied all three, memorizing their faces and clothing, intent on giving them wide berth. If she never saw them again, it would be too soon. Satisfied she could easily recognize the troublemakers, she turned her attention elsewhere.A nice-looking guy, with definite potential, near the front of the line looked her over. Before she could return his smile, a leggy redhead in painted on jeans and a translucent top approached from the parking lot and joined him. Amy gave him a rueful grin and made a point of looking elsewhere.Finally, the doors opened, and the line started to move. The doorman checked IDs, turning away one young couple with fakes. By the time Amy made it to the front of the line, the heavily muscled man had relaxed a little, and started flirting with some of the women in the line. When Amy's turn came, he gave her a nod while his blue gaze flicked up and down, taking in her appearance. His smile broadened when his gaze arrived at her generous breasts. "That's an awfully nice dress for a dump like this, Sweetheart." His voice, rumbly and intimate, sent a charge directly to Amy's pussy. She licked her lips before answering, causing heat to flare in his eyes. "It's my favorite, so I decided what the hell.""If you get tired of the jerks inside, come on back out and keep me company a while. I know how to treat a lady." His voice promised a good time.Feeling especially daring, Amy made of point of letting her skirt brush against his pant leg as she walked past. "I'll just bet you do." With a long look over her shoulder, she headed on through the heavy steel door. God! Had she really done that? Embarrassment heated her cheeks. Never in her life had she behaved that way! Every male without sight would read her actions as coming from a bitch in heat. Hopefully those young jerks hadn't paid attention. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to resist paying her a visit.

Enjoy this NAUGHTY excerpt:
Ford’s hand twisted in the curls of her long crimson hair and he pulled her to him harder. Heat sifted down his body and the burn to his groin returned as hot as a roaring fire in the dead of winter. She brought out the lust in him so easily. The angrier she became the more he craved the taste of her passionate flame. Without hesitation, Ford ripped her blouse away, instantly sinking his fangs deep into her flesh. With the one exception of the chambermaid when he first awoke a damphyr, he’d never bitten anyone, not even for food. A slice of his razor sharp thumbnail always did the trick. What he wanted now went beyond passion. This was a savage thirst for her, every last decadent drop of her. Thick hot blood flooded his mouth and her sweet essence flowed down the back of his throat. He scooped her up and tossed her onto the bed tearing at his clothes and hers as he kissed her feverishly. Deep searing stings cut into his flesh as Lauren’s nails dug into his back. Heavy panting and a hunger he’d never felt before overwhelmed him from the inside out. Before he could stop himself, he bit into her again.Lauren growled and gasped in a way that only accelerated his heartbeat. Powerful surges of energy electrified his body and he sucked hard at the soft curve of her throat, swallowing gulp after gulp of hot syrupy blood. Lauren hissed and heat shot into his shoulder as she met his bite with a vicious plunge of her own fangs into him. “Fuck!” he bellowed as pain burned through his back. “Do it again!” he demanded, overcome by a violent compulsion to consume and be consumed. Lauren withdrew her fangs from his shoulder and attacked again, allowing her mouth to remain over the punctures as she drank his crimson offering. Ford reached down, spread Lauren’s thighs and jammed himself inside of her, grinding in as deep as he could burrow. Lauren growled and thrust her hips upward, meeting his vigorous plunge with an assault of her own. Ford pumped harder, matching her rhythmic pace, beat for erotic beat, while gorging himself on her precious essence.
