And now for an excerpt!! "I'm glad." Well, glad until her time ran out. Pixie flattened her hands on his chest. His wish had come true. She couldn't hold back the smile any longer. She pushed that thought aside. She'd worry about the deadline later. "This sounds crazy, but I've dreamt of this moment." Nitro cupped her cheek. "More nights than I care to admit." He lowered his lips to hers. Pixie huddled against him and melted into his kiss. Sparks shot along her nerve endings. Heat from his touch seared her from within. She inched closer to him and raked her fingers down his back. A whimper escaped her lips. Nitro swallowed the whimper but broke their connection first. He rested his forehead on hers. A thin band of brown ringed the black in his eyes. Pink tinged his cheeks. "I want to strip you down and learn every inch of you." "We're supposed to be somewhere." "In my room," he replied. "Glow concert." Nitro recoiled a bit but didn't let her go. "It's sold out and I don't know that I want to leave this apartment. How do I know you won't disappear the moment we get into the hallway?" Pixie handed him the package she'd hidden behind her back. "This is for us." Nitro took the package from her hands. "Right now, the only present I need is you." He eased her back into his arms. "I've waited a long time for this. Never expected to hold you." He threaded his fingers into her hair. God he could get lost in the gold and green flecks in her eyes. She stared up at him through her lashes. "Kiss me?" "With pleasure." Nitro lowered his head and suckled her bottom lip into his mouth. The scent of peppermint floated around him. He smoothed one hand along her spine and cupped the back of her skull with the other. Pixie whimpered into his mouth. She clutched his shirt and rocked her hips. Each tiny movement sent shivers from his cock to his heart. He'd imagined this moment so many times. No more waiting. He broke the kiss first. "Want you," he puffed. Pixie nodded. "Yeah." She shoved her hands under his shirt and raked her nails down his chest. Nitro groaned and inched her to the closest wall. He captured her mouth once more and tangled his tongue with hers. She tasted as sweet as she smelled. He moved his hands up under her short skirt and hooked his fingers in her panties. He ran his thumbs over the fabric -- silk. Nice. He eased the panties down her hips. Pixie whimpered and broke the kiss. She wrapped one leg around his waist and rubbed against him. Nitro groaned. Holy hell, yes. He placed her on her feet long enough to pop the button on his fly and work the zipper on his jeans. He freed himself. Shit. They needed a condom. Sure, he wasn't about to sleep with anyone else but that didn't mean much. Protection was protection. "Just a moment." He left her against the wall and raced to the bathroom where he kept the condoms. Geez. Smooth wasn't his forte. He strode back into the living room and stopped short. Pixie had unzipped the front of her dress, giving him a delicious view of her lace-covered breasts. Damn. His mouth watered. He moved across the room and captured her in his arms. Nitro inched the strap of her bra down her shoulder. Pixie arched her back, offering herself to him. "Please?" Her one-word plead cut right through him. Nitro suckled on her nipple, rolling the tight bead in his mouth. Pixie clawed at him again. She grabbed the condom from him and rolled it down his dick. He shivered at her touch. God, it was going too fast. The whole coupling seemed to be flying by, but hell, he couldn't slow down. He needed her too much. Nitro hoisted her against his chest and pinned her between his body and the wall. "Yes," she murmured. "Want you."

Since it's Getting Cold Outside... (I wish!)

Hey everyone! With winter closing in on us (December 21st), it's about time for colder weather. While some people aren't a fan of it, I love the cold. With hot weather, there's only so much you can do to stay cool. Cold weather, on the other hand, you can always pile on more clothes, blankets, cabana boys... whoops! That last part was supposed to be a secret.

Anyways, my heroine from Her Christmas Elf certainly finds someone to help warm her up. Namely, a sexy Finnish elf named Pekka. So instead of being able to transport us all to the forests of Finland to go scavenging for Christmas elves, I'll share something else to help keep the holidays warm and cozy.

If you all enjoy mulled spice wine, then you'll enjoy this recipe for Christmas Glögg, which I've had on my travels to Finland. So tasty! There's also a Christmas pastry called Joulutortut, which literally means Joulu (Christmas) and tortut (pastries). I've made them for my own Finn before. Mmm... yum! Anyways, that website, thisisFINLAND, shows a traditional Finnish Christmas dinner as well as more information about the country, including some gorgeous pictures.

But, if that's not enough to warm you up, here's an excerpt. *grin*

Excerpt:

Pekka picked her up along with the blanket and made his way to the bedroom, which gradually warmed due to the stove’s heat. He laid her on the bed, and the look in his eyes sent a shiver that had nothing to do with the cold through her spine. He unzipped her coat and piece by piece removed her clothing until she was in her underwear.

His breathing was a little heavier, and she couldn’t help but squirm beneath his penetrating gaze. “May I?” he asked, his hot hands resting on her shoulders. She wanted to press herself closer against him to drink in more of his warmth.

“Yes.”

After helping her into a sitting position, he slid his hands behind her back and unhooked her bra. The air kissed her breasts, and his gaze lowered. He licked his lips, and she looked down to see her nipples harden.

Desire pooled between her thighs, and she wanted this mysterious man. She wasn’t the type of woman to have one-night stands, but there was something almost magical about Pekka.

She leaned back and dropped her hands to the hem of her panties. Before she could remove them, Pekka had them down her legs. She took a shuddering breath and stared at him.

“This isn’t what I’d intended.” As he spoke, he stripped away his own clothes, revealing a deliciously muscular body used to hard work. “I’d only meant we should press our bodies together, but…”

She parted her legs as he climbed up her body. His cock stood ready for her, yet a flicker of doubt crossed his face before he could suppress it.

God, she must seem like a wanton hussy. Damn it.

He moved to her side, though the bed was small enough he wouldn’t be able to go far from her before falling to the floor. She rolled to her side, facing away from him. Before she knew it, they were under the blankets with the feel of his warm body against hers.

She cradled herself against him, trying to warm up.

Christmas Glow and Great Tunes!

I love Christmas. It's the best time of the year. Why ? Everyone is generally in a good mood and the joy of giving is everywhere. In my story, Christmas Glow is about giving in to wishes and believing your deepest desire can come true. Nitro Hicks loves spinning records. Heck, if he had his way, he'd never leave the studio booth. But he's got to if he wants to see the bad he loves live. Who is this band? Glow! He's over the moon for those hard songs with the rollicking bass and the love songs filled with soul and over the top lyrics. But the best part of the band? The girl he met at their Cleveland concert. Pixie. She's nothing like the women he's dated. She's shy and sweet, but so beautiful. He's entranced by her, but once the music stopped, she left. Was she a dream? Nope. He found her via a Glow chat and forum. She's an elf and works for the guy at the North Pole. Some guys might run from a challenge. Nitro? He's open to the challenge of seeing her again. But this bad boy hasn't been on the nice list since he was two. Can this bady boy reform himself for the love of a elfin woman or is he destined to spend his days spinning the records that makes the rest of the world fall in love? Want to find out?

Punk Bears and Christmas Snow ~ Dreams Come True

Do you love a white hot romance? One that's a little off the beaten path? Then Christmas Glow might be the book for you. I've always liked writing second chance stories and when Pixie and Nitro spoke to me, I had to tell their story. Now you might have seen title and wondered why I mentioned punk bears. Grin. Pixie is in charge of the Teddy Bear department up at the North Pole. She's also known for taking liberties with the bears. Sure, she's got bears that are the traditional colors and styles, but she also loves to think outside the box. Some of her bears have mowhawks. Some are green. Some have rhinestones and others have studs. The best part of it all, as much as Santa might complain, the bears are a big hit. Kids and adults request them. So this year she's allowed one wish. Yes. Santa gives his elves a wish and hers is to see Glow. You don't know Glow? They are only the biggest punk band out now. Anyway, she wants to see them. Oh, and the guy she met while at the one and only concert she attended. Will Santa give in and grant her request? Will Nitro still be interested? And will they both get their heart's desire? You'll have to read Christmas Glow to find out!

So thrilled to be here!

Thank you Goddess Fish! I love coming over to your site - it's always a lot of fun. Hi to all my fellow Naughty Changelings. And most important, hello to all the wonderful readers out there - without whom my stories would still be written, but would end up in boxes upon boxes (or backups upon backups now-a-days). You are what makes writing so much fun!

So, tell me, what’s on your Christmas wish list this year? Nipple clamps? That new leather crop you spied in the window of your favorite adult store? Maybe something more adventurous like a DP vibrator? Toys, don’t get me wrong, are fabulous items to have. A must have, if you ask me. But what if you could receive similar pleasures without them? And without the multiple men to make that dream come true? 

Imagine being bathed by a tongue that can tantalize your nipples and stroke across his cock at the same time. Or how about the infamous double penetration aspect, with one beauty of a male providing the stimulation? Yes, I do wonder about these scenarios late at night. It’s the great big “what if” factor that keeps my fingers typing. 

Seriously, though, wouldn’t these touches and sensations send you sky-high?

In my latest release, Santa’s Helpers: Zarakion’s Tip, my heroine finds out the answer is yes, yes, yes!

This Santa's Helper is paranormal, and it involves fantasy creatures. An elf and a demon, to be precise. Why go otherworld and not use contemporary humans? Easy, because I wanted the intimacy between the characters to occur in such a way that it would be impossible for humans to manipulate without the toy factor. I wanted skin on skin. Flesh to flesh. With all the scents and sounds and delights that can only come from one touch to another. Toss in the fact that I love to write about elves, and this story practically wrote itself. 

To me, elves are the epitome of sensual. I see them as lithe, petite, open and uninhibited creatures that are always willing to try something new. In this case, my elf, Taryn, works for a special delivery system of the North Pole. She’s a newbie to the job and the other elves arrange for her take the dreaded trip to deliver packages to Hell. When she arrives and meets the Demon in Receiving she’s intimated at first, but true to her nature, curiosity wins. As the story unfolds, Taryn and her Demon, Zarakion, explore the many ways the two are different, yet match so well together. 

Perhaps while you’re shopping this Christmas season and need a few minutes to unwind, you’ll consider picking up a copy of Zarakion’s Tip. I will say this, the antics of my characters may not be possible in the “norm” of humans, but it will make you take a new look at your toy collection and consider what other items you’ll want to add to your naughty list.

Santa's Helpers: Her Christmas Elf by Sarah Mäkelä

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to be part of the Santa's Helpers series this year. It was great fun to write. I hope you all enjoy the excerpt.

Excerpt:

Shivering, Vera Hayes watched the soft snow falling around her. The landscape was so pretty and so dangerous at this chilling temperature, especially considering she had no clue where she was. She'd gone on a walk when the sun had been up, but now darkness rapidly descended on the forest.

Damn it!

This trip had been nothing but trouble, and she'd been stupid to actually take it. Her ex-boyfriend Steve had wanted this, not her. She'd gone ahead with it thinking it would help free her somehow, but this was far from freeing.

Vera stomped her feet and huddled deeper into her coat, which was starting to feel a little too thin for the current weather. She leaned against a birch tree and hunched her shoulders, beyond frustrated with her current predicament.

Snow dusted her, and she scanned the forest again. Hope failed her, and she set off walking again. Damn, damn, damn.

Faint rumbling sounded in the distance behind her and she stopped. The noise grew louder until she could identify it.

Hooves. Lots and lots of hooves. Adrenaline flooded her veins, but her body froze in place from fear.

In the distance, she spotted a herd of reindeer running in her direction. A quick look around her showed no trees with low-hanging branches. So much for easy climbing. She reached for the closest birch, its bark broken by the frost. She wrapped her hands around it and began to climb.

Behind her, the noise grew louder. Among the trees, a herd of reindeer led by a massive gray bull trampled its way through the forest. Snow and frost caved beneath their hooves with almost no resistance.

The glance startled her, and her feet slipped down the birch. Panic struck her chest as she dropped to the ground.

To her left, she saw a small clearing among the trees. She tried to sprint through the almost knee-deep snow, but her progress was too slow. With the herd not far behind, she screamed. When would this nightmare end?

Just as she reached the clearing, a man grabbed her by the arm. He pulled her toward him then and shoved her against a tree, his firm body nestled against her back.

Her breath came out in pants, and not only from her running. "Let me go," she yelled, fear audible in her voice.

"Hush. The herd will ignore you." The man's low, accented voice calmed her a little.

For a moment, Vera considered kicking him and racing away, but his grip tightened on her. He pressed her tighter to the tree. His body molded to hers as if they were puzzle pieces. She only had a second to ponder that as the herd of reindeer stampeded through the clearing.

The large reindeer bull slowed to a stop beside them. Intelligence gleamed in its black, glaring eyes as it waited for the rest of the herd to pass.

"She won't hunt your kin, Old One. I'll look after her," the man said. The reindeer turned its gaze to the man and snorted, shaking its head.

Vera trembled. The cold and numbness she'd been fighting against was draining away her energy. She barely made out the man saying something she couldn't catch. Her attention now focused on the huge bull that stood close enough for her to reach out her hand and touch. The other reindeer were easily her height from hoof to head, but this one made them look small in comparison.

The reindeer stared at her then blew a cloud of steam from its nostrils, obviously not impressed, before galloping after the rest of the herd.

She watched it go until it was barely in sight, then the man grabbed her shoulders. He spun her around, and his gaze dipped to take her in. His expression soured, and he returned his gaze to hers. "What are you doing out here dressed like that?"

Surprise at his audacity had her pulling away from him. His clothing didn't exactly inspire confidence in his sense of fashion either. From what she could tell, his clothing looked to be made of animal pelt. She placed her glove-covered hand against his chest and marveled at the sleek fur.

He snagged her wrist yet didn't move her hand. "There's a storm coming. You shouldn't be out here. You'll die." His gaze whipped over her again, and he grimaced. "Where are you staying?" His words held a melodic lilt that was so pleasant.

"At the cabins." Her teeth chattered a bit more, and she huddled in on herself.

He gave her a quizzical stare then cursed an almost lyrical string of sound. "You're far from safety. What are you doing way out here?"

What did he mean? She hadn't been walking for that long. Or maybe it just hadn't seemed so.

He scooped her into his arms, and she considered falling asleep in the warmth of his grip. But she didn't know anything about him, and after what had just happened with the reindeer...

Happy Halloween! What's your favorite Halloween Creature?

Greetings friends and Happy Halloween! I’m Elyzabeth M. VaLey, erotic romance author and I’m thrilled to be celebrating the spookiest time of year in this Haunting Halloween Blog Fest. I’m also at the WC blog, so if you want to talk crazy Halloween erotica then visit me there.

I’ve had two releases during this month of October, one of them historic romance “A Decade of Longing” less than a week ago, but today I’m going to tell you about my paranormal short “Dreams of Fate”.

There are more to dreams than meets the eye...

When Alisha, Queen of the elves, meets Lord Tarmo in the dead of the night, she recognizes him as the man who has plagued her dreams. Soon, she discovers that he too has been dreaming with her. The problem is that Tarmo is a vampire.

Afraid of the power Tarmo holds over her body, Alisha does not want to believe that their dreams are visions of destiny. But once they touch, neither can deny the passion that binds them for all time...


Let me show you a little about what you’ll find in this story…


He was upon her before she could react. His cold lips met hers, and she shivered at the contact. She did not step back or think of fighting him. Instead, when he nibbled on her lower lip and coaxed her mouth to open for him, she complied. A moan crept into her throat as his tongue reached inside and entwined with hers. He delicately passed a finger across the curve of her neck, forcing a shiver to run down her spine. He cupped her chin and looked into her eyes before slowly brushing his lips against her throat. His tongue darted out, barely licking her but making her breath hitch nonetheless.

“Do you remember this, my sweet queen?” he asked as he tenderly kissed her neck.

“Aye,” she whispered. She felt the point of his teeth graze her neck and fear flooded through her. She tried to push him away, but he would not budge. He bit into her neck, softly at first, then harder. She kicked at him, and he moved back, amusement drawn in his handsome features.

“How dare you!”

“Are you frightened or excited, my lady?” He grinned, and Alisha blanched as she saw the sharp canines.

“What are you? Why have you come?”


Scared? What’s your favorite Halloween creature?

Personally, I’m in love with vampires. There is just something about them…Their existence defies logic.

Throughout the centuries they’ve been portrayed in several forms…as ugly monsters or as alluring beauties…but whatever the legend around them, they are death incarnate, blood feeding creatures that roam through earth endlessly. They should repulse us, after all, they’re dead…but the mysticism about them and they’re existence is more than appealing; it’s addictive. Just imagine, those sharp white fangs piercing through the beating vein in your neck and drawing out the blood that keeps you alive. You hold on to the creature’s shoulder helpless to stand on your two feet as he feeds on your blood and makes your body burn with an indescribable feeling of fear and desire…*shudder*

Upcoming New Release - RIEVER'S HEART, Fantasy Romance

Elves Go A-Viking???

The warrior in her was ready for anything. But she never saw him coming.

GUARDIANS OF LIGHT Book 5, from Renee Wildes & Samhain Publishing

VERDEEN is on the brink of becoming an elite elven warrior ranger until the untimate humiliation - no war mare selects her for the advanced training. King Loren's "consolation prize isn't much better. Journey to Isadorikja, the Isle of Ice, as bodyguard to a mortal human riever. Daq ARYK. Barbarian. Prince of Thieves.

ARYK dreams the impossible: unite six fractious clans into one peaceful nation. Failure means they are all doomed to kill each other off - and his recurring nightmare of his son's death by sword will come true. The new elven ambassador rouses his ire, not because she's a woman but because she's inexperienced. Her possibly needless death weighs on his already overburdened soul. Her beauty is a distraction he can't afford.

In a fragrant moonlit garden, VERDEEN dares yield to an irresistible compulsion to kiss the mortal riever. The heat shakes her to the core and frees a desire that should occur but once in her life. With a mate.

As their quest turns down ever more dangerous paths, though, their bond is the asset that could assure peace...or the liability that could send a dream down in flames.

WARNING:

This tale illustrates what happens when adventurous dreamer meets seen-it-all cynic. Contains hot, no-hold-barred sex, voyeurism and some self-loving. Also some graphic (but never gratuitous) battle violence.
