Black Dorn is on WIP It Up Wednesday #Wipitup

Welcome to Erotic Notions and WIP It Up Wednesday. This snippet is a continuation from my erotic medieval romance - Black Dorn.
Set Up – Branwyn and Duna Trea are in a garden. A group of people have approach. Branwyn's tragor is about to be tested. Duna Trea speaks.
(for those who haven't started at the beginning with this – Duna means instructor –  so Duna Trea is Branwyn's instructor. A Dune is one who is to be instructed. Branwyn is a Dune. Gon means King and lastly Gon Dra means Heir to the Throne.)




Remove your upper clothes. Allow these people to see you naked. They will not touch you. You do not need to be afraid of them. Do so now, before they come." Branwyn tried, but her fingers fumbled. She watched as three men and two women strolled toward her. She prayed they would turn and follow another path. They smiled at Duna Trea and walked forward. Branwyn fought the stubborn knot, but her vision filled with blinding tears. Duna Trea curtsied to the group and asked them about their health. Still Branwyn could not release the ties. "This is our newest dune. Her name is Branwyn." Trea stood beside her. In a deep whisper she said, "Tragor!" The ties released and Branwyn peeled the shield that protected her nakedness. A cold chill shuddered through her, causing her to tremble and her nipples to harden. She wished the earth would rip open and let her fall into its dark depths. The group continued on their stroll and conversation. Trea did not look at Branwyn. "Go, prepare for supper, but do not cover yourself. You have failed tragor. You will not be allowed to cover your breasts for three days." Duna Trea turned and walked away, leaving a half-naked and ashamed Branwyn to find her way back to her room. Leah remained silent as she combed Branwyn’s hair and laced ribbons in among the strands. She tied it so it rested on her dune’s smooth white back. Selecting a gold-colored dress, she helped Branwyn slip into it. She lowered the top and tucked it in at the waist then secured the skirt with an embossed leather belt. Lastly, Leah draped jewels around her dune's neck that encircled her breasts drawing the gaze toward the splendor of the gems - both stone and flesh. Leah escorted Branwyn to the dining hall entrance. "Remember, do not speak unless spoken to." The guard held open the door. As she entered, a herald bellowed, "Dune Branwyn."

Erotic Notions is showing off A Little Bit of Saturday Sex with A Kept Woman

WARNING - SEXUAL CONTENT
This is my own little private weekly meme showcasing some of the erotic sex scenes from my published works.This week is from my erotic contemporary romance ...

Scene Set - Billionaire, Derek Davenport, has hired Arianne as his weekly girlfriend. Arianne, recently unemployed and very broke accepts the job in desperation. This is their first meeting to see if the arrangement will be mutually satisfying.

He stepped into the room. Staring at her shoulder length brown hair, Derek let his eyes admire Arianne. Her chocolate brown eyes looked in his with a slight embarrassed but proud aura. Her face was tense, but Derek knew her beauty would only intensify when she allowed herself to relax. His mouth yearned to taste her. To explore the sensations of kissing and being kissed by her perfect set of lips. He let his gaze rest when his visual tour reached her breasts. She had been bold enough to tease him with a glance and the briefest of touches. His finger tip tingled at the memory of the moment. Continuing down to her navel, a slight grin crossed his lips as the promise of what was hidden by her blue jeans caused a stirring in his own groin. Long legs, he loved women with long legs. Running his tongue up the inside of a thigh always brought out the deep purring sounds which caused the heat in him to grow. His patience had been reached, after clearing his throat he managed to say, “Go into the bedroom, strip and lay on the bed.”He followed Arianne to the bedroom and watched as she removed her jacket and placed it on the dresser. Fighting the trembling of her fingers, she tugged at the zipper of her sweater and let it drop to the floor. After kicking off her shoes and socks, she wriggled out of her jeans and panties and placed the pile on top of her jacket. Naked, she pulled the covers off the bed. Stretched out to her fullest, she could not reach from end to end. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said,  “I want to taste you. Sample you. I will never do anything that you don’t want to do. If you want anything other than straight sex then you arrange it. You may get as creative as you like to keep me interested. The computer has an encoded charge card. You may purchase items and have them delivered here for our use. But now…” He pulled off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, kicked off his shoes and began undoing his shirt. Settled back on the edge of the bed, he ran his hand down her cheek, chest, breast, belly, navel and down her thighs. “You are incredibly beautiful.”The sight of his sculpted body and the fiery touch of his hand on her naked flesh was too much for Arianne. Her body trembled under his touch. “I…I feel.” Taking a big breath she said,  “Well, I feel like an idiot. I don’t know what to do. I mean, I know what to do. I just don’t know what you want me to do.”Bending over, his mouth slowly moved toward her waiting nipple. With the softest of kisses he brushed his lips across her pink flesh. As he watched, it grew firmer. He chuckled. “You don’t have to do anything. I want to explore you.” He ran his tongue up the underside of her breast and flicked it across her nipple. “This is about satisfying my curiosities or needs of the moment. And at this moment, my curiosity centers on the feel of that nipple.” He sucked it into his mouth. Arianne arched her chest. Her eyes closed as she focused on the sensation of his lips caressing her nipple. Reaching over he began to fondle her other breast, stroking the soft flesh and teasing the hard nipple between his fingers. Releasing her, he said, “I want to learn what works for you. How you respond to my touch. Lay back. Close your eyes. Indulge my curiosity.”As his mouth moved to her unkissed nipple, his hand slid down her stomach. His fingers slithered through her bush and began to stroke the insides of her thighs. A finger tapped her inner leg and she splayed them apart. Casual strokes from her mound to her pussy ignited a fire deep inside her womb. Arianne followed what he did with focused interest. He’s not hurrying. This isn’t a slam-bam. He’s doing exactly what he said…oh, that feels sooooo— A soft moan escaped her lips.A long finger slipped inside, turned upwards and began to rub the place where a woman’s g-spot is located. Thoughts gave way to soft sighs and deep moans as his thumb circled her clit.“You’re so hot. And wet. Nice. Spread your legs more.”

(come back next week to finish the scene.)

Logline: One man dares defy Fate.
Survival demands sacrifices; healing requires forgiveness.
Men revere him; monsters fear him. Jake Barrett, the notorious Hunter King, values loyalty to family and followers above all else. When the daughter of his closest ally murders Daniel, his oldest son, it sets off a chain reaction of violence and destruction that claims the lives of both wolves and hunters. Determined to avenge his son, Jake seeks the truth at any cost.
After losing her lover and then her mate, Victoria Storm simply wants to get on with building a new life in Sierra Pines, California. A vengeful Jake Barrett and his organization aren't going to make that easy, especially with the unwelcome attraction between her and the Hunter King's second son. Perils beyond the mortal coil plague Victoria.
When the Norse Fates predict Victoria will destroy the world, her duties as a priestess of Freya come into conflict with her responsibilities as a Valkyrie of Odin. When they tell her she will do it to save her unborn child, she's not so sure they are wrong.
Sawyer Barrett has been trying to kill Victoria for so long, he doesn't know whether he loves her or hates her. Desperate to end the war, he's willing to take chances with everything–except his heart. The hunter harbors a deadly secret he can't reveal without risking the ceasefire and his life.
At Sawyer's urging, Victoria agrees to peace talks with Jake. All the while, an ancient vampire plots the destruction of wolves and hunters alike. If the embittered rivalry between hunters and wolves doesn't end—and fast—there is no hope for Victoria's pack... or for their world.

Excerpt (PG):
Shade enshrouded Skuld, and her voice manifested upon the air, thick and oppressive, closing in from all sides. "Your daughter will not grow to adulthood in Midgard."Victoria's heart slammed against her breastbone. Her breath expelled in a horrified gust. The bowl dropped from her hands and flew to protect her abdomen. "What do you mean?""Your daughter will be taken from you on the eve of her third birthday," Skuld said. "The one you trust most, a member of your own pack, will give the child over to your greatest enemy."A growl trembled in Victoria's throat, and her entire body shook under the dual assault of fear and rage. The suggestion of betrayal from within her own pack filled her with disbelief to the core of her being. It was unthinkable. Gritting her teeth, she sought a solution, refusing to dwell on it. "How am I to prevent this?""We speak of what will come to pass," Verðandi said in a sympathetic tone. "Your predictions are not carved in stone," Victoria said. Arguing with Fate was a foolish endeavor, but she refused to accept their prophecy.The old woman, Urðr, smiled with a frightening gleam in her eyes. "Predictions, carved into the trunk of the World Tree, carved into the spiritual fabric of the world."Stubborn determination settled over Victoria like armor. Her mother had taught her there was no absolute fate, just as there was no absolute free will. Life consisted of a wide range of possibilities between the two extremes. She refused to allow her daughter to die at three years of age. She would move worlds, alter fate, slay gods. Whatever it took."Do you wish to save your child?" Skuld asked.Victoria answered without thought. "Yes. I'll do anything. Tell me. Please.""The final days are upon us," Verðandi said.Skuld took over speaking. "To save your daughter, you will side with Loki against the Aesir. You will use your enchanted dagger to cut the binding of the great wolf Fenrir. You will be responsible for freeing the beast that kills Odin."Victoria's stomach turned. Her head shook in automatic denial. "When the gods imprisoned Fenrir, my people pledged fealty to the Aesir. We have served them loyally ever since. Even when we were driven from the homeland, almost a millennium ago, we remained faithful. I will never cut Fenrir's bonds. To do so would end the world we live in and doom us all."Skuld's gaze held steady. "You will."Victoria snarled her denial. "No. I will never become the servant of the Trickster or willingly take part in bringing about Odin's death."Skuld turned her head and pinned Victoria with one black eye that rolled in its socket like a liquid marble. "To save your daughter, you will."

A Diva in Manhattan

Aubrie Dionne
A Date with the Diva

Fresh off a successful Italian tour, soprano soloist Alaina Amaldi returns to America on cloud nine. The Metropolitan Opera has invited her to guest star in their performance of Mozart’s Magic Flute, and she’s singing at the top of her game. But, to act the part of the sweet, young Pamina in love, she has to be likeable; something that has never come easily to her. On a quest to soften her diva-like image, she volunteers at an arts school for underprivileged children. Too bad the kids call her the opera witch…

 Brett Robinson has moved to Manhattan to start afresh. Used to living on his own as a logger, he finds a job with a construction company repairing the sidewalk in front of the Metropolitan Opera House. What he didn’t count on was for one of those hoity-toity divas to strut straight past him and into his heart!

However, Brett knows that a guy like him doesn’t have a chance with a woman like Alaina. That is until an older woman asks him to attend a fundraiser, posing as her Wall Street stockbroker son. Before he knows it, Brett’s drinking cocktails with the gorgeous diva! Trouble is, she thinks he’s quite a few billion dollars richer. Is she as shallow as everyone claims, or will she still love what she sees when the tux comes off?

WIP It Up Wednesday and Black Dorn #Wipitup

Welcome to Erotic Notions and WIP It Up Wednesday. This snippet is a continuation from my erotic medieval romance - Black Dorn.
Set Up – Branwyn's first lesson is done. She and her instructor - Duna Trea - go out into the garden to chat.



Trea led Branwyn from the room. They wandered in silence among the flowers, then sat on a bench next to tall standing white roses. "I know these past few days have been confusing to you. I know I have a difficult task preparing you. To help, you may ask me what you do not understand." Branwyn sighed and rubbed her face. "I do not even know where to begin. I understand nothing. I feel like a lost soul wandering blind in a fog. You ask me to bare myself. You serve a man who is not your husband. I…I…do not understand." Branwyn held back tears of confusion and shame. She wanted to be strong when with Trea. "The beliefs of our two lands differ. A man possesses his dune. She is part of his property, like his land, his wealth, his cattle and his bitches. She must serve her master in all that he commands, and never question or falter when obeying." Trea reached over, pulled a rose blossom close and inhaled its fragrance. She continued, "If your master demands you remove your clothes you must proudly do so, immediately. Your obedience will show other men the power your master holds over you. Your beauty will make them envious of his possession and he will be held in high esteem of everyone. Power is important. If a man appears weak, he will be killed, and his lands taken away. Or worse, the man will be subjugated." "Subjugated?" "Imagine Malack conquered and being forced to work as Duncan does, to serve another. Forced to only enjoy self-pleasuring." Before Branwyn could ask for an explanation, voices alerted them. Duna Trea turned to her. "You know what my command will be."

Cover Reveal for Joceline Farrah's Infernal Ice

Beneath the sun kissed skies and the glamour of South Beach, Stygians and mortals co-exist under an uneasy alliance. Governed by strict rules known as Stygian protocol, they live by one most sacred and cardinal rule: Never comingle with mortals.Grief stricken, caseworker Jessa Belle Jones loses herself in her job, after the love of her life, Scott Dempsey disappears without a trace. When her father announces her betrothal to Abbandon, the General of the Stygian Armies, Jessa-Belle turns to Havah, the Tinseller to thwart her father’s plan by finding her own Stygian noble to marry.Wrought with vengeance, Stygian Raum Corvus, searches Miami Beach for retribution against the dark mage who took everything he’d cherished.But when destiny links Raum’s path to Jessa’s plight, will fate keep them together or will Stygian conventions rip them apart?
Excerpt - “I hate liars,” Jessa said trying to read Raum’s reaction. No tells. No wonder he was in diplomacy. She swore he must have did a stint with the CIA. ‘cause he had a serious poker face.“So you’ve never lied to someone you loved to protect them from harm or hurt? He asked.Jessa shook her head, “I can’t remember the last time I told a lie that wasn’t self serving. In most cases, either I was because afraid of the punishment my dad would dish out or I just didn’t want to get caught. I guess what I’m trying to say is one small lie no matter what your intentions are tarnishes the truth.”“So the moral of the lesson is liars are magicians ——”“And magicians are masters of illusions. And what are illusions if not lies.” He smirked.  “Wrong. The lesson is to stay close enough to the truth  so you don’t get caught, sweetie.”Raum laughed. “So just because the man wants to move on with his life you believe he hasn’t mourned his wife long enough? Abaddon and I are not the closest of friends and probably never will be but I don’t think I would deny him the right to happiness.”“I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to be happy,” Jessa replied, “I just don’t think you can ever mourn a lost long enough. Imagine meeting that special someone and suddenly tragedy rips them from your life. I don’t’ believe there is enough days in a lifetime to fill that void, or to mourn such a loss. You move on because you have to but there’s a part of you that dies with that person and it can never be resurrected.”********
Joceline Farrah is an avid reader of all of things paranormal. She draws inspiration for her stories from her own hometown magic city Miami Beach, FL. With pen to paper, she creates worlds where beings are as magical as the realms they inhabit.When she isn’t plotting new ideas for a novel or crocheting, she enjoys a good game of Chess and a nice cup of Chai tea.

Spotlight on Love's Legacy by Joan Avery

Love's Legacy by Joan Avery
Release date: 11/10/14

About the book:

Grenada, British West Indies, 1875

English plantation owner Geoffrey Worth has misgivings about hiring an American widow as a governess. But while Geoffrey longs to forget the past—and the daughter who reminds him of it daily—there is still duty to consider. And Bellefleur, his plantation. This is his life now. Warmth, family, love; these things only bring pain. And scars he'll carry forever...

Elizabeth Malfonte is certainly not the aged widow he had anticipated. She's young and beautiful, with a determination that wakes something deep within Geoffrey. Yet Elizabeth hides her own secret―the babe within her womb. And despite Geoffrey's handsome―yet scarred face―her new employer has a cold and unforgiving nature that unsettles her, even as Elizabeth's wariness slowly heats to desire.

But the bright beauty of this land is no match for the dark, ominous clouds of the past...

Warning - adult content Scene Set up – Arianne and Derek begin their first encounter. (as always - some editing to get the snippet to 8)



Taking a big breath she said, “I don’t know what to do…uh…well, I mean, I know what to do. I just don’t know what you want me to do.”Bending over, his mouth slowly moved toward her waiting nipple. With the softest of kisses he brushed his lips across her pink flesh. He chuckled and said, “You don’t have to do anything. I want to explore you.” He ran his tongue up the underside of her breast and flicked it across her nipple. “This is about satisfying my curiosities or needs of the moment and at this moment, my curiosity centers on the feel of that nipple.”

A Kept Woman having A little Bit of Saturday Sex on Erotic Notions

WARNING - SEXUAL CONTENT
This is my own little private weekly meme showcasing some of the erotic sex scenes from my published works.This week a quickie from my erotic contemporary romance ...

Scene Set - Billionaire, Derek Davenport, had dressed down and is at a local bar with his buddies. Being drunk, he just placed an ad for a girl friend. Trixie, the waitress, has been flirting and bouncing her breasts in Derek's face for weeks. Tonight is the night, he scratches her itch.
By nine-thirty, Steve and Linc were singing old Beach Boy tunes and being led by Kevin, a drummer from a now defunct rock and roll oldies band. “I know.” Kevin’s eyes brightened. “Place an ad.”Derek rubbed his face and gaped at Kevin. “What th’ fuck you talkin’ `bout? Steve, you know?” Steve shrugged his shoulders. “Me and Steve, don’t know what ya talkin’ `bout." Derek was about to ask Linc what was going on, but his cheek was pressed against crushed peanut shells and spilled beer. “Screw this! I gotta take a leak.” Derek made a beeline for the Men’s Room. Trixie watched him cross the bar and when he exited the rest room, she pulled him into the manager’s office. “He’s not in tonight.”  Derek’s eyes were focused on watching her as she rolled her nipples between her fingers. “Fuck me, Derek.” Cupping her breasts, she offered them to him. “I can’t believe no woman has caught you yet. With that gorgeous thick black hair and those ice blue eyes.” Her hand reached down and grabbed the swelling in his jeans. “And that big cock. How come you’re still free?”He didn’t answer; instead his mouth latched onto a nipple and sucked. His tongue swirled and lapped at her, teasing her and feeling her grow firmer. Trixie’s fingers found the zipper on his jeans. With an experienced hand, she unzipped him, released her prize and coaxed him to full size.He dropped her tight shorts to the floor, slid his hand between her thighs while his fingers searched for a moist wet recess. “You don’t need any foreplay. You are ready, woman.”He pulled a condom out of his wallet. Trixie opened the package, placed the condom over the tip of his fully aroused penis and with an experienced grip rolled it the length of his shaft until she reached its base. After a quick tickle of his balls, she turned and spread her legs. Slipping inside Trixie’s hot and ready pussy, Derek felt the familiar pleasure begin to grow. He didn’t need a girlfriend. He needed a woman--one who would fulfill his desires but not clutter his life. Focusing on himself his pace grew frantic. Panting he said, “Better cum soon, Trixie. ‘Cause I am about to.”Trixie’s hand rubbed her clit. “Oh gawd that feels so good. No, don’t come. I’m not ready.”With one last powerful thrust, Derek exploded inside her. His thrusts slowed. While Trixie furiously worked herself, Derek hung his head and regained control of his breathing. He felt the shudder pass through Trixie. Placing a kiss between her shoulders, he slipped out of her, tossed the condom into the garbage, zipped up his jeans and returned to his buddies.
