Three Days to Damien: the Final Stark on Saturday before Take Me by J. Kenner

Three Days to Damien Stark


 


 


It’s #StarkOnSaturday!


We’re counting down to Take Me, an epilogue novella that follows the bestselling Stark Trilogy which began with with Release Me, continued with Claim Me, and concluded with Complete Me!


This is the final Stark On Saturday before Take Me goes on sale this Tuesday! Have you pre-ordered your copy?


And here we go!


“More anticipation?” And then his mouth is moving again, tracing down my leg, over the scars on my inner thigh, to that sensitive spot behind my knee.  I am lost, melting.  I am his to control, to command, and I can do nothing but absorb the pleasure with which he is bombarding me.


He continues on, lower still until he reaches my ankle, then the sole of my foot.  He drags the tip of his finger from heel to toe, and my foot arches in response, along with my back.  My sex clenches greedily, and I am astounded at the reaction from a simple touch upon my foot.  Then again, how can I be astounded by my reaction to any touch rendered by Damien?  I can’t.  I can only surrender, which was of course Damien’s plan all along. To take me away from myself and bring me to this place that we share, a place where there is only Nikki and Damien and the pleasure we find in each other.


He is not done with me, and he slowly trails kisses up my leg until I am squirming, my hips gyrating in both pleasure and need.  I want more. I want it all.

Sexy Scene for #MostWantedMonday – Wanted by J. Kenner

OneHellOfALotFurther


Welcome to another #MostWantedMonday excerpt as we countdown to the January 7 release of Wanted by J. Kenner, book one in the Most Wanted series of erotic romances that wilI be followed by Heated in May and Ignited in September!


Enjoy!


“But?” There was an edge to his voice that I couldn’t quite identify.


“But once wasn’t enough.  Now I want more,” I said firmly. “You asked me how high? Well, that’s my answer. As high as you can take me before I leave. And who knows—maybe we’ll get each other out of our systems.”


I was breathing hard, watching him. And, dammit, just thinking about what I was suggesting had turned me on. My nipples were tight behind the terry cloth of the robe, and I was suddenly aware of the heat at the juncture of my thighs.


“No,” he said.


I looked up sharply, prepared to protest, but didn’t have the chance before he continued.


“No,” he repeated. “I don’t think you’ll ever be out of my system. But as for how high I can take you . . . ”


I held my breath as he reached out, trailing a finger down the neckline of the robe.


“We’ve already gone pretty damn far,” he whispered. Slowly, he reached out and tugged loose the tie of the robe, then spread the top open, revealing my shoulders and breasts. “But have we gone far enough?” he asked. He brushed the pad of his thumb over my already erect nipple. “You’re right, baby. I can take you one hell of a lot further.” He took his thumb off my breast and drew it along my lower lip, then thrust it gently into my mouth. I opened for him, sucking and tasting, my eyes closed as I simply reveled in it.


I wanted it—god how I wanted it. Wanted to go completely and totally wild with him. And yet the tightness in my chest was growing. A bone-deep trepidation.  Because the more I realized that this was really happening, the more my old fears bubbled up.

Ten Days to Damien: the Penultimate Stark on Saturday (Take Me by J. Kenner)

Ten Days to Take Me


It’s #StarkOnSaturday!


We’re counting down to Take Me, an epilogue novella that follows the bestselling Stark Trilogy which began with with Release Me, continued with Claim Me, and concluded with Complete Me!


Just one more Stark On Saturday to go before Take Me goes on sale! Have you pre-ordered your copy?


And here we go!


I should use this time in the limo to go through my potential list. Maybe call some of the folks on my initial list of maybes and see if they’re booked for the day.  But my head is too light from my Manhattan indulgence, and all I want to do is sit back, enjoy the ride, and think about seeing Damien again in just a few minutes.


The fact that I tossed my phone across the bedroom and broke it also puts a crimp in my plan to manage a little work.


Frustrated at being without Damien, and irritated about my own foolish temper, I glance out the window and frown, because this isn’t the way that we usually go home. I am about to hit the button for the intercom when a phone rings, which is odd because there is no permanent phone in the back of the limo, and as I have just reminded myself, my iPhone is toast.


The ring comes again.


I lean forward, cock my head, and decide the sound is coming from the bar.  I get off the leather bench and move carefully that direction.  Another ring, and I narrow the source down to the ice bucket.  I pull of the lid, glance down, and find a phone in the otherwise empty container.


With a grin, I answer the call.  “Hello?”


“Ms. Fairchild,” he says, and his voice is low and enticing and flows over me like warm chocolate.


“Mr. Stark,” I say, unable to hide my amusement.  “Funny you were able to call me since I have no phone.”


“I told you—I will always take care of your needs.”


I smile, feeling warm and satisfied.  “Where are you?”


“I’m not with you,” he says. “Other than that, does it matter?”


My mouth curves into a smile. “No, but you’re wrong. You are with me. You’re always with me.”


There is a pause before he answers. “Yes,” he finally says, and I don’t think I have ever heard that simple word spoken with so much meaning and complexity before.

Up to the Bedroom Door: Richard Preston on Sex in YA/NA (and a free book giveaway!)

Please welcome Richard Preston to the blog!



Sex as a HOT topic?  Always. Sex as a topic in YA and NA?  A controversial topic, perhaps, especially in the YA realm.  My steampunk adventure series, The Chronicles of the Pneumatic Zeppelin, is a fun, swashbuckling, old Saturday-afternoon-matinee kind of story and is handled as Young Adult (YA)/New Adult (NA) crossover by my agent and publisher (47North).  The main characters are all mature new adults in the age ranges of 18-22 and they live in post-apocalyptic throwback kind of world similar in social structure to a frontier colony of the Victorian period. These characters, both male and female, grew up fast in a dangerous environment and they also possess the typical raging hormones of their age group.  And while this potentially-sex-laden situation is fine to exploit in New Adult (where the series is most at home) it must be carefully navigated (and essentially skirted) if you want the book to be acceptable in the Young Adult category.Romeo and Juliet


Note: when I asked my writers’ group what their sense of YA and NA age groups were it fired up a lively and fun little debate and discussion.  Generally speaking, it looks like the book marketing industry sees YA as 13-18 and NA as 18-25 (but mostly 18-22) (thanks to author Michael R. Underwood for that info, and thanks to everyone who chimed in!)


I’d like to discuss how I chose to handle the subject of sex in my series, focusing on the new book, Romulus Buckle & the Engines of War.  I have no desire to be controversial, nor expose young readers to unnecessary adult content, and I have to walk a fine line between those concerns and telling a story about young adults who are sexually active.  From the beginning, my three main characters, Captain Romulus Buckle, Sabrina and Max (a female half-alien) are involved in a just-emerging love triangle which none of them cares to admit might exist. Feelings are unrealized or suppressed.  The three characters are orphans adopted by the same parents and they are members of the same crew. One can see how they might not wish to pursue any romantic urges toward each other.


My general commonsense rules for Young Adult/New Adult Crossover are:


1)    You can suggest that sex is going to happen but you can’t show the sex.


2)    Breaking away from traditional sexual stereotypes in okay but identifying with traditional sexual stereotypes is okay, too.


3)    Description of the physical body is okay as long as it’s not presented sexually.


Romulus Buckle & the Engines of War by Richard PrestonRomulus Buckle, the handsome, dashing commander, is what I call “an unintentional rake.”  Women come to him easily and he gives it little thought.  His airship is more important to him than any flesh-and-blood female.  Currently he is involved in a casual affair with a pretty female crew member named Ilsa Gallagher; it works because she fully understands the nature of their relationship.  The excerpt below gives you a sense of how close (other than perhaps a few make-out moments) I ever think I might get to a sex scene in the series.


“Ah, Miss Gallagher. Come in,” Buckle said.


Ilsa stepped into the cabin. She wore her dense but tight-fitting leather skinner’s jacket, resplendent with hooks, pockets, and strappings, her hair loose about her shoulders. The skin on her face was flushed, her eyelids heavy, her lips slightly parted, and she eyed him with the soft certainty of a hawk.


“You have the cordage numbers, I see,” Buckle said. He suspected what was coming and, though he was exhausted, he was of no mind to prevent it. Ilsa occupied a soft spot in Buckle’s heart; she was a good salt, an excellent rigger, tough, pleasant, fearless, extra pretty because she did not fuss about her appearance, and she had shared his bed with him occasionally over the stretch of the previous year. Theirs was a friendly, playful association, but not a romantic one: after their first night together, Ilsa had gently informed him that she could never love an airship captain, and Buckle had easily accepted her caveat, loose and unencumbering as it was.


Ilsa stepped closer, tossing the papers on the rum-splotched table and grabbing the bottle to take a long swig.


“Would you like a drink?” Buckle asked.


Ilsa kicked the hatch shut with a backward thrust of her boot. “The ratlines are fine, Captain,” she whispered, snapping open a button at the throat of her collar, exposing a tiny patch of pale-white skin. “But I need tending to.”


My characters live in the rough and tumble world of what is essentially a pirate-style airship and the females, though they wear some clothing which is distinctly feminine, do not wear makeup or jewelry and, like the males, tend not to fuss about their appearance.  These females inhabit what are traditionally male roles in what is traditionally considered a male-dominated Victorian-era-type world.  Since this is also the future, the women here are equals and they often assume positions of command.  But they are also young women who, when given the opportunity to dress up for a party and impress the boy they like, will do their best to look attractive.  I might add that, in the same situation, the boys make equal efforts to look good for the girls.


Sabrina looked at herself in the mirror of her room, half-dressed for the ball as she was, and not with an uncritical eye—with her best friend Holly Churchill at her side and being so encouraging, it was difficult to get a good read on her ensemble. As a woman in a rough profession, Sabrina rarely had time to preen. Yes, she was adamant about the feminine character of her aviator clothes she loved, with the soft leathers, cuffs and fleur-de-lis, but she was normally unmindful of her looks, pulling her hair up tightly under her bowler with pins, and applying no cosmetics beyond splashing her freckled face with cold water. She did comb her hair before turning in after her watch on the Pneumatic Zeppelin, yes, but she usually did that by feel, often in near darkness, and rarely looked into the small cabin mirror over her washbasin.


Still, her face in general pleased her, though she did not care for how suddenly her lips thinned out at the edges, making her mouth too serious. Of course, she had a love-hate relationship with the freckles on her nose and under her eyes, for though she considered them blemishes they always seemed to be one of the characteristics that men loved about her appearance. She also thought that her elfish ears were awkwardly small, insufficient to hold back the locks tucked behind them.


Sabrina peered harder at her reflection, backlit by the warm, dying light of the day pouring in through the window. She knew she was looking at herself differently this evening, for she wanted to look as elegant as she could possibly manage. Holly, also partially dressed, exuberant under her usual seriousness, was helping with the complicated, frilly undergarments, garters, bustle, and gown. Holly was a milliner, a ladies’ hatmaker—she had handcrafted Sabrina’s beautiful derby for her—and she had a superb eye for the fashionable.                   


The human body, naked, is a place where I did have to make a decision.  Either I avoid nudity in the series or I treat the human form with objectivity whenever it appears partially unclothed, which so far has been once. I chose the latter option.  Below, as Romulus Buckle battles to save Max’s life after she is grievously wounded defending him, I present the body as it is exposed in an utterly non-sexual situation.  This is an important moment in the story for both characters because Max has always hidden her body from everyone.


Applying the knife to Max’s blouse, Buckle sliced it away, revealing the skin underneath: skin pale as cream where he wiped it, skin adorned with curving black stripes. Max’s entire left side was awash in thick blood that looked black in the firelight, down to where it had pooled over the belt at her waist. His heart sank, there was so much of it, steaming in places, dripping down the ribs. He pulled away the tattered remnants of the blouse, and she lay exposed from the waist up.


It would have surprised Buckle, if he had time to consider it, that Max’s well-muscled stomach was all white. Buckle had never seen Max’s body beyond her face, neck, and hands. She had always kept it hidden under sleeves and high collars. Hers was a beautiful form, very human in appearance except for the black stripes upon it, tapering off along her ribcage and swirling around her small, pink-nippled breasts. Buckle was in no state of mind to register such things. Even though his invasion of her well-guarded privacy was necessary to save her life—he was her doctor now, after all—if anything, he experienced a sense of impropriety as he worked. And there arose another emotion, guilt, a despair at the violence of the wounds she had suffered in his defense, but he was too absorbed in his task to give such feelings any attention.


And so, here are examples of the sexuality-line I have walked in my foray into the YA/NA crossover world where I have attempted to tailor things to work for both age groups.  I think that my “up to the bedroom door” method (an old saying applied to the treatment of sex in early television soap operas) works reasonably well.  Actual sex is suggested through hints and innuendo and only rarely. Traditional and non-traditional sexual roles in society can be tackled and I enjoy writing strong female characters who can dish it out and take it just as well as the boys but who also retain a confident sense of their own sexual identity.  My women are not girly nor tomboyish: they are women, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have moments of being girly and moments of being tomboyish.  And, in non-sexual situations, I think a modest but direct presentation of the human (or human-like alien) body (torso nudity, essentially) is okay as long as it is essential to the story.


That’s my take on that hot tamale, anyway.



Author Richard PrestonRichard Ellis Preston, Jr. is a science fiction writer who loves the zeitgeist of steampunk. Although he grew up in both the United States and Canada he prefers to think of himself as British. He attended the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, where he earned an Honors B.A. in English with a Minor in Anthropology.  He has lived on Prince Edward Island, excavated a 400 year old Huron Indian skeleton and attended a sperm whale autopsy. Romulus Buckle and the Engines of War is the second installment in his new steampunk series, The Chronicles of the Pneumatic Zeppelin. Richard has also written for film and television. He currently resides in California.

New excerpt from Wanted by J. Kenner – a Most Wanted novel

MostWantedMondaysPassion QuoteWelcome to another #MostWantedMonday excerpt as we countdown to the January 7 release of Wanted by J. Kenner, book one in the Most Wanted series of erotic romances that wilI be followed by Heated in May and Ignited in September!


This week’s snippet has a touch of drama! But you’ll have to read the book to see what’s up!


Enjoy!



I wanted to slap his face, but instead I grabbed my coffee cup and hurled it across the room. It shattered on the floor, sending dregs of coffee to splatter on the gray tiles and neutral beige walls.


I gasped, then turned to run from the room. I wanted to throw myself onto the bed and cry. I wanted to kick Evan Black in the balls. I wanted to race out of this building that right now felt so damn confining and just get lost.


I wanted to escape myself, but there was nowhere else to go and no one else to be.


And I couldn’t do any of that anyway, because Evan caught my arm and jerked me violently back to him. Then he clutched my other arm, as well. He held me there, his hands tight on my upper arms, as I battled down the urge to spit in his face.


“No,” he said. And then more forcefully, “Goddammit, Angie, no.”


I tried to shake free, but he held me tight. My arms, I was certain, would be bruised by morning.


“That is not why I’m here.” The ferocity in his voice slashed over me. “I’m here because I want you, dammit. Not because I want something from you.”


Want more Evan?  


You can meet him in Take Me, the epilogue novella to the Stark Trilogy, coming December 3!


And yes, you can PRE-ORDER Take Me right here:
