Sunday's Sneak Peeks
Happy SUNDAY Everyone!!! WhoooHooo!!I so enjoy making Sunday sound like a holiday. It may be lingering side effects from holiday overload or maybe it's all part of my plan for world dominance where I'll lure you in by promising new reasons to celebrate or just chill. Speaking of celebrating and/or chilling, SUNDAY just seems like the perfect time to do it. This Sunday, and perhaps even more Sunday's to come, I've decided to share snips, snippets, bits & pieces, sneak peeks, morsels, and yummy tidbits of my books with you!! Call it whatever you like... I'm just gonna serve it up and hope you dig right in!!Today, I want to share a little excerpt from my latest full length novel, Midnight Beckoning! (currently #64 on the B&N's Fictionwise list for Paranormal romance)I sure hope you like it!!

But only a few made it to their twenty-first birthday. And noneshared the same requirements as he, to assume their rightful place at his sideand become his queen.Until now. Lauren Neil was born three hundred years to the day after Ford'sbirth, and it was no coincidence that he found her only days before hertwenty-first birthday.

***ADULT EXCERPT!!!***
"You shouldn't be here.""I know, butI am." Lauren strolled across the bedroom and eased up onto the bed. "No, really.You can't be here. Navina will kill me." Ford grasped her upper arm, holdingher at bay."We've donethis before and nothing happened," she cooed as she crawled toward him."But thistime is different. Drago knows how to reach you now. It's too dangerous." A tickleskittered across Lauren's stomach as Ford's finger slightly dipped beneath thestrap of her gown and touched her bare skin. She snapped a glance down to wherehis flesh met hers. When shelooked back at Ford, his gaze was fixed on her shoulder as well. "See? Youremember what I feel like, don't you?"He wound thestrap around his fingers and a frustrated grumble reverberated from his chest. "Iknow what a dream feels like. I want to know what you feel like in the fleshand this isn't it." His harsh tone scraped against her bones. "There isn'ta difference. Here we don't have to wait for some silly ol' birthday." Shepushed her body past his protesting hand and hovered over him. Ford, lyingon his back, gazed up at her. Laurenlooked down her body to the outline of her breasts and abdomen peeking throughthe thin white fabric. She didn't have to look back to know that Ford hadnoticed, too. Herbreathing increasing to a near pant, she grabbed him by his t-shirt, drawinghim to her. "Kiss me." "Kiss you? Iwant to do more than kiss you, foolish girl," he hissed. "Then do it."Ford tangledher hair in his hand and rose up to meet her lips.Fireexploded on her tongue as he plunged his deep into her mouth. Withoutargument, he flipped her over and settled on top of her, clumsily finding hisway under her clothing. Laurenhungrily tore at his shirt until she was able to bring it up over his head. Shepushed him back to gaze upon his rippling chest and abdomen. Biting her bottomlip, pleased with his athletic physique, she grinned devilishly. "See?""I see you'regoing to be a handful." He returned his mouth to hers. Sliding hishand up her stomach, he found the supple mound of flesh she'd been waiting forhim to touch. Laurennudged him downward, persuading him to venture under her gown. Wriggling it upher body, she removed it and tossed it onto the floor. She watchedhis gaze trail down her curves. He pausedlong enough to flick the hardened rosebud of her breast, nibbling and lappingat the sensitive nipple. Lauren gasped as electrified currents zapped andexploded between her legs.Ford wouldmake an excellent lover, and she couldn't wait to see how skillfully he wouldsatisfy her. They'd finally reached the point of no return. Hisbreathing hastened and his tongue trailed up her neck to her mouth were heresumed eager kisses. "Make loveto me, Ford," she breathed against his parted lips. Running herhand down the front of his jeans, she tugged at the button and zipper. Laurenunsnapped it, eased her hand inside and a playful giggle escaped her when shefound what she wanted most. With a loudwince, Ford pulled away and rose up on his outstretched arm. "Lauren, we'vebeen here too long. If we stay—""Don't stopthis time," she pleaded. "I have to.""Why? Don'tyou want me?" She grabbed his arm, trying to coax him back. "I want youmore than you'll ever know. But, I want you to live long enough to giveyourself to me in the real world, not just here." He sat up and glanced back ather. Laurenremained on her back with her naked body exposed. She strummed her fingersacross her breast to entice him once again. His gaze intentlyfollowed the flow of her finger against the nipple he'd suckled. She encircledit with her fingertip then plucked at it with her thumb and index finger. "Areyou sure?""Fuck!" hegrowled under his breath. "Tsk, tsk.Such language." She giggled. "Why do youpush me?" He stood next to the bed, the muscles in his chest rigid withphysical frustration. "Why don'tyou push me?" She rose up on one elbow. Ford reacheddown and picked up her gown from the floor. "You already know why and tomorrow,when you're awake, I'll explain it again." He pressed her gown into her hand. "Goback to your body and stay there before someone hears you talking in yoursleep."Laurenconceded with a deep sigh. "Okay, but this isn't over." She dressed and turnedto him before she left. "Will I remember tomorrow?"Ford walkedover and kissed her forehead. "I don't know. It depends.""On what?""On how youreally feel. Out there, you're still human and you're holding on to things inyour human life, like that Steven guy. Here, I'm all you have."Rising up onher tiptoes, she kissed him softly. "I hope I do remember."Fordchuckled. "I hope you don't."Her stomachflip-flopped. His answer vexed her. "Why would you say something like that?"He skimmedthe outline of her breast lightly with his finger through the thin fabric ofher gown. "Because if you remember, you'll know how much of an idiot I am forsending you away."
