Under The Aurora
by Jessica E. Subject
writing as Paisley Brown
This short F/F story shows what happens with two of the characters in Sex Boot Camp after they leave the resort. And it is set in the same place as Sexy Suitors From Space, Paisley’s next release. Enjoy!
Veronica laid back on the queen-size bed, staring at the gold ring around her left index finger. Married. Something she never expected to be since declaring to the world she was a lesbian. Maybe showing her parents a YouTube video of her kissing Natasha wasn’t the best way to tell them of her sexual preference, but they’d been more supportive than she expected. The comments from viewers had been encouraging as well, giving her the nerve she needed to ask the most amazing woman in the world to be her bride. And now they were on their honeymoon, up in Finland for Valentine’s Day.
“You ready yet, Tash?” Veronica loved her wife, she really did. But how much primping time does she really need? They were only leaving their honeymoon suite to spend one night under the stars in a glass igloo. A short trek they’d be bundled up in snow suits for.
“Almost ready,” Natasha called.
Her voice echoed in the Versace-influenced grand bathroom, a room they’d already christened several times over since arriving. In the tub, the shower, and plenty of times in the sauna.
Veronica squeezed her knees together, trying to ignore the warmth between her legs, the heat flaring up in her belly. They didn’t have time for another round, their guide due to arrive in less than ten minutes.
“As long as you have clothes on, you’re ready.” The woman was sexy as hell whether dressed in a designer suit to go into the office or covered in sweat with her hair tousled from a session of hot and sweaty fun. Natasha could wear an ugly floor-length house robe for all she cared. I’ll never stop wanting her.
A knock at the front door stole Veronica away from her thoughts. She raced for the entrance, opening the door to a very large bundle of clothing. Even most of the guy’s face was covered, though with a golden scruff rather than fabric. If she hadn’t come out of the closet, she’d definitely want to see more of him. But her days of sex with men were over. She’d gone to Sex Boot Camp with her boyfriend, and left with a girlfriend, content to end her days of trying to be someone she wasn’t.
“I’m here to take you to the glass igloo. Please, join me outside when you’re ready.”
Veronica nodded. “Thank you. We’ll be right out.”
Patience wearing thin, she headed for the bathroom. “C’mon Tash. Our guide’s here already. Time to go.”
Her wife strolled out of the bathroom like an angel from the heavens. With blonde curls bouncing across her shoulders and her full lips painted in a shimmering pink, Natasha looked good enough to eat. Right there on the spot. A pink corset lined with black lace trim hugged her delectable curves, and left plenty of cleavage for her viewing pleasure. A matching barely-there g-string and black patterned stockings completed the outfit.
Veronica whimpered, her clit throbbing for attention. “You’re such a tease, you know that?”
“I’m glad it worked.” She winked. “Now let’s bundle up and head out.”
Even with all the winter gear, they were dressed in no time and met their Nordic guide outside. Though Veronica didn’t need any extra clothing, the desire coursing through her veins providing plenty of additional heat. She clenched her fists inside her deerskin gloves, fighting the urge to tackle Natasha in the snow and remove every last piece of clothing. Thank goodness they didn’t have to trudge very far in the snow-brightened dark.
A quick tour of the igloo, consisting of a bedroom, a closet, and a bathroom with only a toilet and sink, and the guide left.
Veronica stripped down to nothing , too impatient to enjoy the surroundings. If any of their igloo neighbors saw her through the glass, she didn’t care, only focused on making love to Natasha. And, of course, her wife, already rid of her snow pants, was far too slow in removing her coat. The wicked grin she wore proof of her purposefully unhurried movements.
“Here, let me.” Veronica grabbed the front of the coat and pulled her closer. The snow on the fabric did nothing to deter her lust. Only going to melt anyway.
Staring into her lover’s eyes, she pulled down the zipper little by little, playing the same game. At the first peek of cleavage, she lost the ability to breathe. Want stole away even the most basic of instincts.
As she slid the coat off Natasha’s shoulders and down her arms, her hands shook.
“I can’t believe you’re already breathless from just taking off my coat.” Natasha palmed her cheek, brushing a thumb along her bottom lip. She leaned closer until her lips touched Veronica’s ear. “Just wait until I’m between your legs, making you scream.”
Veronica moaned. Juices ran down her thighs, her legs nearly giving out.
Gripping her ass, Natasha pulled her in tight, claiming her lips. With her persistent tongue, she stroked her mouth to ecstasy. The fluttering in her pelvis spread through her body like a hoard of butterflies on the loose. She was going to come, just from kissing and being in the arms of the woman she loved. With a high-pitch keening, she detonated, her body convulsing with every play of Natasha’s tongue. She turned her head to the side, clinging to her lover in an attempt to regain her balance. And her breath.
“Dammit, Natasha, how do you do that?” At their wedding, she’d almost come in front of all their guests just from her wife’s erotic kiss.
Natasha winked. “If you knew, it wouldn’t be the same. Now, if you want any more of my clothes off, you have to take them off. With your teeth.”
Electric tension still whirling inside her, Veronica guided her wife to the bed. She could do teeth, not a problem. I’ll just use my hands for other things.
“I want you on your belly. As much as I love that corset, it’s coming off.”
Her lover complied, laying on her stomach, legs spread apart. The scent of Natasha’s sex left her quivering with anticipation. She crawled over her, resting on all fours.
Leaning down, she kissed between Natasha’s shoulder blades, enjoying her lover’s shiver in response. She bit down on the ribbon holding the corset together. With a yank, she untied the knot. Got it! Though loosening it the rest of the way proved more difficult. Between her tongue and her teeth, Veronica fumbled with the ribbon with little success. Fuck it! This is taking too long.
Using her hands, she unfastened the few clips and pulled the corset apart.
Natasha flipped onto her back. “Hey, you’re cheating.”
“The present was taking far too long to unwrap.” Straddling her waist, Veronica palmed her breasts. So soft and tender. Her toes curled and she devoured her lover’s sweet lips. Their tongues mated in a scorching kiss. An erotic growl escaped her as she pulled away, wanting to savor the puckered nipples in her hands.
She circled her tongue around the tip then sucked hard, just the way Natasha liked it. Between using her tongue and her teeth, she had her wife writhing across the bed, cursing and panting.
“Oh, God, Roni, more. Fuck me, baby.”
Veronica flicked the soaked g-string to the side and plunged two fingers inside her lover. With long, hard strokes, she fucked Natasha until she burst with a scream, her muscles clutching tight.
She laid down beside Natasha to give her a chance to catch her breath, but her wife shucked off the rest of her clothes and rolled on top, her thigh between Veronica’s legs.
Veronica lifted her leg over Natasha’s back and ground against her. She pulled her closer for a body simmering kiss. Lips, tongues, hands everywhere, leaving her head spinning in a flurry of passion, hungry to give pleasure as much as to receive it. She clasped her wife’s ass, drawing her forward. Perfect.
Sucking on Natasha’s rosy nipple, she reached around to stroke Natasha to ecstasy. Writhing while rubbing. Moaning while flicking.
With the force of a brick wall, her climax slammed into her. Pleasure laced with fire tore through her veins, lighting up every nerve ending.
Natasha cried out over her, succumbing to her own orgasm. They gripped each other tight, riding out the waves of bliss.
Rolling to the side, Natasha cupped her breast. “That was…. God, I love you.”
Veronica turned and kissed her sweet, soft lips, buzzing with satisfaction. “I love you, too. Always.” She glanced up, peering through the glass roof. Wisps of green danced across the sky, highlighted by purples and blues. “Look, Tash, it’s the Northern Lights.”
Natasha cuddled in close and gazed up. “It’s beautiful, though not even close to being as beautiful as you.”
Veronica smiled, happy to have found the person she was meant to spend the rest of her life with.

Hey, fiction lovers. I’m author Melissa Landers, and I’m thrilled to announce that my debut YA sci-fi romance, ALIENATED, is finally available from Disney-Hyperion! Cue the dancers and toss the confetti, because it’s been a long wait!
In a nutshell, ALIENATED is the story of valedictorian Cara Sweeney, who gets more than she bargained for when she agrees to host the nation’s first intergalactic exchange student, the gorgeous but emotionally-stilted Aelyx (pronounced A-licks) from planet L’eihr. The tone is light and humorous, but I explore some deeper themes as well.

“The storyline is out of this world and character development paired with authentic voice is superb. Filled with intrigue and suspense, this book will appeal to both sci-fi and contemporary YA fiction fans.”
~VOYA
“Interstellar relations heat up in this start to a new romantic science fiction series. Landers [explores] larger social, ecological, and ethical issues in this tense, fast-paced read.”
~Booklist
“The perfect blend of sizzling romance, action, and suspense.”
~#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

~Julie Cross, bestselling author of Tempest

Wanting what she can’t have in NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO #MySexySaturday #dystopian
Hello everyone! It’s the 24th week of My Sexy Saturday. Here are the details: every Saturday, published and unpublished authors will be sharing 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published story.
Never Gonna Let You Go, the first story in The Underground series, celebrated TWO years published yesterday, so I thought I’d share an excerpt from the story today.
Here’s an excerpt from the very beginning of the story:
If only I could touch his sexy body again.
Standing at the edge of the camp, Calla Jacobs couldn’t stop staring at the toned and tanned body of Erik Edwards, aerospace mechanic for mission SFAE-3, while he worked to repair the core drill. She tried to tear her gaze away, willed her feet to move so she could get to the plains of Airondelle, but it just didn’t happen. She watched as sweat trickled down the center of his back, and she closed her eyes, breathing in his pure, masculine scent. The memory from years ago, of running her hands across the wide expanse of his upper body and through his thick, blond curls, only made things worse. She didn’t love him anymore—at least not in the way she had when they’d dated. And still, Erik would always hold a place in her heart. They’d grown up together, been best friends, even after they’d broken up, until he’d married Holloway.
Erik snapped open a bottle of water, took a large swig, and then poured the rest over his head with a heavy sigh. She could almost hear the water sizzle.
Oh, to be one of those water droplets cascading down his bare chest. She’d enjoy the water so much more if she could stand close enough to lick it off of his body before it dripped to the ground. Grimacing, she clenched her fists. Jeez, pull it together.
Their mission on the barren planet did not include sexual affairs. In fact, except for already established marriages, sex was forbidden outright; the mission could not be compromised by all of the emotions and distractions a sexual bond brought.

Never Gonna Let You Go is TWO! Sharing inspiration from Star Trek… #scifirom
It’s January 31, the last day of the month, and the SECOND publishing anniversary of NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO, which is the first story in The Underground series.
This series is a futuristic dystopian series, and much of the technology was inspired by Sci-Fi television show that I grew up watching. For example, the portal that employees of Planet Core use to get to the planet Airendelle, was inspired by Stargate. And some of the medical equipment was inspired by those used in Star Trek.
And I found this really cool infographic on Space.com, detailing how Star Trek technology really works. I thought it fitting, so I decided to share…

And here’s more information about Never Gonna Let You Go:
Never Gonna Let You Go
The Underground book 1
Erotic Sci-Fi/Dystopian Romance – FF & MF

Her former lover, Erik Edwards, shuns her, sending Calla into the arms of Melina Holloway, their commander, for the attention she craves and more. A confrontation among the trio leaves her with a broken heart, and fleeing from the two people she trusted most.
Attempting to break free from the lies that bind her, she discovers Planet Core has deceived everyone. And when she returns to Earth, Calla learns just how far Planet Core’s control reaches.

Dangerous Waters
by C M Michaels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do anything to escape.
The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice. While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain. Dealing with her human first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven “sister,” and her new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is only the beginning of her journey.

Excerpt:
Emily meets Daniel…
I quit watching him and let myself enjoy the feeling that dancing always gave me. A couple of songs had passed before we were close together again. I couldn’t believe he was the same guy. Daniel blended in perfectly with everyone else on the floor and looked like he’d been club dancing for years. When the song ended we made our way over to an empty table.
“I can’t believe how much fun that was!” he shouted.
“I’ve never seen someone pick it up so fast. You’re a natural!”
“Yeah, right—more like you’re a hell of a teacher.”
“Thanks, Daniel.” The affectionate, almost star struck look in his eyes reminded me of what Ruby had said. If I didn’t want to hurt him, I couldn’t afford to wait any longer. But like the true blue coward I was, rather than taking the plunge, I chose to study a particularly interesting piece of lint on the floor.
“What’s wrong?”
“I need to ask you something that is going to sound really bizarre.”
“Okay…” Fear of where this might be headed had him gathering his legs underneath him like a coiled up house cat preparing to leap out of danger.
After a long pause I met his gaze. “You can sleep with me tonight if you want to.”
“Jesus, Brooke, we—”
“Please let me finish,” I interrupted. “I’m a virgin, which I can’t exactly fake, so I’ve obviously never done anything like this before. If you say yes, I’ll expect you to make love to me, and all I can offer you is tonight—it’s your choice.”
“Why only tonight?” The disappointment and sadness in his words was palpable.
“I wish I could explain, but I’m afraid it’s extremely complicated. Part of saying yes is agreeing not to ask questions I can’t answer.”
We sat in silence for a few uncomfortable seconds before he reached out and took my hand, gripping it like he could make my question disappear if he only squeezed hard enough. “I’m a virgin too. I get my ass ridden constantly for it but I’m not ashamed—I sure as hell didn’t come here expecting to go home with someone tonight. I get the feeling that you did, and I just happened to be the guy you picked.”
Daniel pressed his forehead against the palm of his free hand and closed his eyes. “Damn it! I really like you, Brooke, but I gotta know why you’re so desperate to lose your virginity tonight, and why you can’t have a relationship with the person you give it to. If you can’t or won’t answer those questions, then I’ll have to say no.”
The stinging pain of rejection filled my chest as I pulled my hand away. How could it hurt this bad to be turned down by someone I just met? Did I really like him that much already? Trying to salvage what little pride I had left, I stood up and turned to leave, tears streaming down my cheeks.

Will a kiss convince Tamara to follow her date in BENEATH THE STARRY SKY? #MySexySaturday #99cents
Hello everyone! Today is the 33rd week of My Sexy Saturday.
For today’s excerpt, I’m going to share seven from BENEATH THE STARRY SKY,
a contemporary erotic romance that is part of the 1Night Stand series.
AND, for the month of January, it’s ON SALE at AMAZON for only $0.99!
Set-up: In this contemporary erotic 1Night Stand romance, Josh and Tamara are set up by the magical Madame Eve. But, neither gets the evening they expected. Will a kiss from Josh be enough to convince Tamara to leave the hotel with him?
He reached out toward her. “Are you coming?”
“I…I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to leave the hotel room.” She only wanted to have sex, not go on some grand adventure with some guy she didn’t know. But yet she was willing to have sex with this stranger? God, what is wrong with me?
Leaving the elevator, he wrapped his arms around her, capturing her mouth with hungry urgency. She responded without conscious thought. Her mind numbed, only filled with her date as his lips and tongue set on a quest to weaken her. She floated into the elevator, felt the car descending, but could do nothing to stop their travels. She didn’t want to. If being in his arms, having him kiss her, always made her forget her problems and the rest of the world, she’d stay there forever.
He pulled away, leaving her gasping for air.
“Are we…leaving the hotel?”
His lips curved into the sexiest damn smile she’d ever seen. “Don’t you trust me?”
She hesitated. She had to trust him in some ways, but…. “I don’t even know you.”
SALE! Only $0.99 at Amazon.com!

Lucy’s got her pistol and she’s ready to shoot! THE TROUBLE WITH MEMORIES by @Eva_Lefoy #scifirom
Lucy’s got her pistol
and she’s ready to shoot!
Guest Post by Eva Lefoy
My latest Science Fiction romance book, The Trouble With Memories is out now from Decadent Publishing. The book was recently featured on The Galaxy Express, and Heather’s comment about the heroine, Lucy Borasco, was:
*The story opens with one very emotionally conflicted, red-haired heroine. She doesn’t know whether to punch the hero or jump his bones.
Yep! That’s Lucy! She and Captain California Sykes were formerly sheet-ripping-hot lovers, until he decided to focus on his career. That was Cal’s first mistake. His second mistake was signing up for the Mars Mission, because the Mars Mission really did a number on his mental capacities. Specifically, he’s lost his memories. And he’s lost his memories of Lucy as well.
Needless to say, Lucy’s madder than a Thalius Rock Eater. She’d just as likely to shoot Cal as she is to kiss him. Turns out though, shooting him would have been the SAFER option:
“Lucy.” His voice sounded hoarse, as if he’d sucked sand into his windpipe. “Don’t.” Down below, his cock begged, yes, yes, yes. The damn organ had been asleep for ages. One look at Lucy had brought it back to life with a vengeance. But he couldn’t risk hurting her. “Something bad might happen.”
She cocked a brow. “What are you afraid of? If you don’t remember me, you won’t feel a thing.”
He watched her moist ruby lips move closer. Her mouth opened, ready for a kiss, and his groin ached, needing to be inside her. Smoking meteoroids, he wanted this. Even if he still didn’t remember her afterward. Even if it killed him.
Her sweet little breath puffed against his mouth. “Just one little kiss.”
Ignoring another twinge of pain he leaned forward, grabbed the back of her head, angled it to fit his needs, then lowered his famished mouth to hers. Her mewl of surprise tingled his lips. One hand cupped her ass and he pulled her body taut against his, grinding his hardened length against her tender mound. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders, and if her moans were any indication, they’d not been coolly distant lovers. They’d been hot every-single-night or three-times-a-day lovers. Now, if he could only remember what made her come he might get—
“Aaaaaaagh!”
He clamped both hands to his head and sank toward the floor, legs shaking. The pain increased in severity every second, until by the time his butt reached the carpeting, he’d almost passed out. Her hands were on him, but they barely registered. The heat of wires melting inside his brain was burning through his gray matter, leaving him in utter agony.
And isn’t that why everyone loves redheads?

Happy reading!
