Friends to lovers Friday #teaser preview #MMromance #WIP

“Every P.I. needs a sidekick.” Beau Deverel’s handsome face took on a pleading expression.

“No they don’t. Investigating can involve confidential information, not meant to be shared, and if you were my sidekick, it would be.” Lucian Wren sat on the end of the desk and crossed his arms. “I know that look and it won’t change my mind.”

“Come on, Lucian, I can keep secrets. We’ve hung out together forever don’t shut me out of this. I promise I’ll never divulge anything to anybody, except you, naturally. You have my word. Have I ever broken that oath? Well, have I?”

A grin flashed across Lucian’s face. “You have not. I’ll keep you to that promise. Catch.”

Beau grabbed the card that Lucian tossed to him out of the air with a rapid swipe of his hand. He flipped it over to read it. “Wren and Deverel, Private Investigators—you were teasing, you already added me to the business. Card’s a little plain—could we add something—a picture of a revolver or an axe maybe?”

Lucian Wren smiled, affection flooding his eyes for his longtime friend. “No. The embossed border is enough embellishment. We need to appear ultra professional.”

Beau nodded and pushed the business card into the top pocket of his jean jacket.

“Agreed.”

#MWTease from WIP #MM romance

Love Unmasked

Scott Palmer stood on the tiny balcony of his apartment across the street from Tom’s place. The street was narrow and one way so he could easily see into some of Tom’s second floor rooms and made it a point to do so when he judged Tom was home. Nothing gave him more pleasure than watching Tom. He traced every contour of Tom’s body with a hungry gaze. He imagined sliding his hands around Tom’s handsome face and kissing him. The thought made his cock jerk.

Today he’d seen Tom arrive in the sexy black truck and waited for him to walk to the front of the building from the carports. Scott watched Tom go into the building and then just as he’d hoped, Tom walked through a room taking off his jacket. A sigh had escaped Scott as he glimpsed Tom’s broad shoulders in a white T-shirt. He’d leaned back onto his balcony door and wished that Tom would one day look around and see him watching. Maybe he’d wave then and they could acknowledge each other occasionally. That would be great, not as good as speaking to Tom, but better than just hanging out staring over at him.

Scott waited for Tom to appear again, but he didn’t, which probably meant he’d gone into his bedroom. Scott had gone to an open house inspection held in the ground floor apartment of Tom’s building the year before. He guessed each apartment had the same layout. It made sense for efficiency of plumbing and stuff. That was the first time he’d seen Tom and the experience still lived vivid in his memory. Tom had been in the communal hall as Scott left the open inspection. His dark blue eyes had met Scott’s and he’d smiled a greeting as he went on his way. Scott’s heart had leaped and continued to pound as he turned to see the hot as hell guy walk up the flight of stairs to the second floor.

Can I just wander into the club naked? #WIP #eroticromance for #MWTease this week

 #MWTease this week comes from WIP , 'Incident at the Candy Apple'

Releasing later this year from Hot Ink Press

He stood and walked to the door. He turned around and held the door handle with his fingertips even though the rope bit at him. It took a few moments but he turned it. He concentrated on not letting it slip from his grasp, and bunny hopped to move the heavy door. Thankful he’d taken up weight training for stress relief, he dragged the door open, his biceps only straining a little, and slid behind it. Using his hard ass to keep it open, he stepped into the corridor. As the door closed, it hit on his fingertips. It was then he felt soft fabric under the soles of his feet. His pants were strewn on the tiled floor. He bent and picked them up, but of course, when he stood, they dangled behind him from his tied hands.

Jake took a deep breath. Can I just wander into the club naked? Maybe I should try the surveillance dials after all. A tremor of apprehension passed through him as he tried to open the door to go back into the room, in the same way as he’d opened it to get out.

Holy shit. 

He couldn’t do it. 

The fucking handle won’t turn. A smile tugged at his lips and then he started to laugh.

He looked down at his suit pants and still chuckling he sat down and started the strange activity of trying to get them on. He pushed one leg into the top and then the other leg. He had to do this three times before they were positioned so that he could shuffle the pants almost on, then do a hog tied type position to reach the waistband with his tied hands and drag it over his ass. Jake couldn’t stop smiling as he knelt, then stood holding onto his pants with a tenuous backwards grip. He managed to wriggle his cock into the side of the open fly. The smile left his mouth as he considered what a spectacle he’d be, but he padded down the corridor to the main area.

The low lights didn’t quite reach to the very side of the room and he hugged the wall in the shadows until he had to reveal himself in the white downlights of the small bar counter at the far end. A couple stared at him. Another couple smiled and looked away. The bartender, eyes wide, leaned across the bar. “Fuck me, Jake, what’s going on?”

Jake gave him a wry grin. “Girl left me like this. Get the rope off will you, please, Tom?”

Oh oh, she's changed her mind #MWTease from #WIP Leave me Breathless and he is #eroticromance

For this week's #MWTease I'm sharing from WIP 

Leave me Breathless

Rosanna pushed against his chest with her palms and slid her legs to the floor. She slipped her arms around Seth’s waist, and leaned her head against his chest.

Her softly voiced words tore into his lust-fogged mind.

“I’ve made a mistake. I don’t think I can do this … not … not right now … when I’ve only just met you.”

Seth stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. His cock was painfully hard, and disappointment washed his haze of lust away.

“It’s okay, but just so you understand about this club. That’s what we do here in the house parties. We come here so that we can have sex without knowing each other.” He lifted her face tenderly with a hand under her jaw and kissed her softly. “Your friends should have told you that.”

He moved away from her gently so that she wouldn’t think he was angry.

He turned and walked away. Nothing had ever felt like the kisses he’d shared with Rosanna. He’d never experienced such intense desire. It wasn’t just the urgent need to fuck and come, but an overwhelming need to kiss every part of her body, to trail his fingers over every inch of her skin, please and tease her, love her until she knew she was loved. Seth sighed despondently at the nature of his desire. This was unexpected.

Owen went to her and scooped her up into his arms. His hand slid under her ass and contacted bare skin so soft tingles shot through his balls. He strode to one of the long padded benches and sat with her on his lap. He slid his hand between her legs as he kissed her. Her panties were damp. She’s already wet for me. He murmured against her mouth, “Let’s get you out of this dress."

“Beauty as far as the eye can see, no?”

Connor straightened from leaning on the rail and turned to face the speaker. The impact from seeing the man beside him was so strong Connor couldn’t answer for a moment. He faced probably the most attractive man he’d ever seen face to face, because he couldn’t include the TV and movie stars he sighed over. They were unattainable and designated to daydreams. This man gave him an instant rapid heartbeat. 

An emotion close to fear slithered down Connor’s back. He’d never felt such immediate consuming attraction to any man before. As he choked out a few inane words, he soaked up the sight before him. Dark hair, cut in an ultra-fashionable style with darts shaved into the sides by his ears, eyes the color of turquoise, only they glistened with promise, his angular jaw rivaled Connor’s favorite TV actor’s, and his body—well, that made Connor’s cock stir.

“Yes, it’s all breathtaking,” and so are you, Connor added in his mind.

“Jay Levesque.” The hunk held out his hand to Connor as he spoke his name.

Connor hesitated to shake hands for a second. Somehow, he instinctively knew that touching this man would start him on some dangerous path. All the same, he took the proffered hand in his and introduced himself. “Connor Douglas.”

“Take off your jeans before I rip them off you.” Josh laughed after he’d said it, 

and he pushed off his own jeans to stand naked waiting for Will.

Josh hungrily watched Will strip off his jeans and underwear. His cock throbbed and pre cum leaked across his stomach when the tip of his erection touched high on his muscles. He sheathed his cock in one fist and stroked up and down slowly. He sighed. The stroking only served to make him want more and he held out his arms to Will.

Woohoo #MWTease is back with a bang #MM romance #WIP snippet

From #MM erotic romance WIP, Hungry Eyes

Oliver’s heart pounded. He hung on every syllable as Josh sang and gazed right at him. The longing in Josh’s eyes did something weird to Oliver’s stomach. He felt as if from the waist down he’d turned to liquid and was about to fall to his knees. His cock responded with a throb to the scorching look Josh gave him at the end of the song. 

Oliver ran his hand through his hair and looked down at the rubberized dance floor. Questions raced through his mind, but he settled on just one. How can I make contact and not look like a fool if that song wasn’t for me—if Josh doesn’t want me as much as I want him?

The band played another song. 

Oliver glanced up. Josh wasn’t on stage. A huge dip of disappointment crashed into Oliver’s stomach. Where is he?

A whisper against his ear shot tingles down his neck.

“Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I think you’re interested in me.”

Oliver slowly turned to the speaker, half-afraid it wasn’t Josh, but that low, resonant voice was so familiar and so dear to him, his hopes lifted.

He was face to face with Josh. His heart skipped a beat. His cock stirred. Oliver nodded so slightly he wondered if it was enough to underscore the assent in the words that tumbled from his suddenly dry mouth. “I’d forgive you anything.”

“Then follow me now.” Josh led the way to a side door and held it open for Oliver to follow.

A smile spread over his face. This was more than he’d dared hope for, ever. He faltered as Josh closed the door they’d just used and stood waiting. It was only seconds but they dragged by until, with no warning, Josh grabbed him by the sides of his head and kissed him hard.

Oliver’s eyes closed with lust. His whole body responded to the kiss, with wave after wave of melting sensation, until his legs weakened and the only thing that remained hard was his leaking cock.

Soft sounds, low moans came from them both as the kiss went on. Kiss after kiss. 

Soft merging lips, then a hard searching needy tongue drove all thought from Oliver until he rammed up against Josh, thrusting his erection and fighting for breath.

Josh broke the kiss and pushed his arms around Oliver’s neck to pull him further onto his muscled body. He murmured in Oliver’s ear. “You’ll never know how long I’ve waited to do that … and more.”

A shiver went over Oliver and he slipped his arms around Josh’s waist pressing against the hard column of Josh’s erection with his own aching cock.

“I can’t believe this. I had no idea … I saw you with a woman once and I … well I thought …”

Josh nudged his nose with his own and bit at his lips.

“My sister was in town. Who are you anyway? Apart from sexy, fuckin’ sweet as, and damn, so hard for me I just want to suck the cum right out of you here in the corridor.”

Oliver’s knees threatened to buckle. A ragged groan escaped him at Josh’s words.

Captive Wolf, The Venn Pack in Love 3

#MWTease

It was already late and the outdoor lights sparkled as darkness fell. Evie gazed out of the window at the woodland beyond the estate fences. Thick forest on one side and single stands of trees dotted the countryside on the other. In the distance during the day, she detected the shimmer of water. Evie hadn’t been blindfolded on the way there, but the SUV had heavily tinted windows in the back, and the seats were custom built so that they were low and placed lengthwise. She’d had no real opportunity to check the location until she’d arrived.

She went to the computer and checked the email. Her boss was out for the night with another hunter. Sometimes he’d email her instructions when he was off somewhere doing his shady business. Tonight there was nothing. She shut the machine down and went to her room.

As she showered, thoughts tumbled in her head. Tomorrow was the last time she’d have chance to convince Ryder of her plan. If she didn’t and he didn’t shift, they’d simply toss him to a pack of hunting dogs, specially starved for the occasion. Evie pictured Ryder’s face. A huge drench of sadness bent her over and she sobbed. Tears joined the shower water running down her face as she leaned heavily on the wall.

Hump day and #MWTease join forces for a sneak peek at WIP 'An Unusual Vacation' #eroticromance

An Unusual Vacation

Dominic Carr hopes for a romantic interlude during his vacation. He's tired and jaded from his high pressure job.

Little does he know this summer he will have , An Unusual Vacation

#MWTease

Michelle opened her eyes. She lay on her back and the first thing she saw was a burst of stars splayed out across the sky like a jeweled ribbon. 

Dominic had his arm resting over her waist and his face nuzzled into her neck. A smile spread over her face. She concentrated on the feel of Dominic’s skin against hers and the weight of his arm on her waist. A thrill of pleasure went through her. He’s so gorgeous, sexy, nice. I want him. She sighed softly. I so hope this is the start of something lasting. Please don’t let it be a holiday romance. 

She watched as a streak of light traveled across a darker part of sky. Wow, a shooting star. I wish, I wish, Dominic would fall in love with me. She squeezed her eyes shut tight to add emphasis to her wish.

Dominic stirred beside her. He kissed her neck where his face touched and rolled onto his back.

Michelle didn’t want to wake him even though she missed his arm around her.

Then he shifted close again and found her hand to hold.

She turned onto her side to snuggle against his shoulder.

Dominic whispered, “Are you awake?” He lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles.

Contemporary erotic romance with a twist of suspense

Waterlilies Claude Monet 1916, from http://www.wikiart.org/en/claude-monet/water-lilies-40

#MWTease

        An hour later, Dominic left the Monet exhibition, and wandered along to the top room of the art gallery. He saw the young woman the moment he reached the top of the stairs. She sat part way down the left hand side on one of the blue benches. Dominic couldn’t tear his gaze away as he edged closer to where she sat.

       She wore a pale-pink, suit jacket and her glossy chestnut hair fell down her back almost to her waist. Her lightly tanned legs were bare and she wore bright pink, high-heeled pumps. Dominic couldn’t see a skirt. Intrigued, he stopped at the painting adjacent to the one she sat in front of, and cast a secret glance at her. Shorts, mmm, she’s beautiful.

      He passed behind the bench trying to ascertain if she wore a wedding ring. Luck gave him a perfect opportunity as she moved her hair from her face, giving him a delightful view of a naked wedding band finger and her lovely profile. Dominic’s heart raced. Surprise at his reaction to the young woman gripped him and he walked rapidly across the width of the gallery to stand before an ocean scene and try to collect his swirling thoughts.

Here's my inspiration for Joshua Venn, the alpha

Read the snippet:

 Hardly knowing what he was doing, he grabbed her face and sank his mouth on hers. The second he kissed her every muscle in his tightly strung body relaxed. Soft lips parted under his. Delicate hands slipped across his chest to hold him. He floated in sensation. His cock hardened deliciously. With a low growl, he let her go and stepped away, shocked not only at his needs, but also at her response.

Without him noticing, she hoped, she’d counted the ways he was delicious. Tall and so ripped, her mouth had watered thinking about trailing her fingers and tongue up his abs. His eyes were the most remarkable shade of blue. Dani remembered a Crayola she’d owned as a child called periwinkle blue, that was it … and his eyelashes—to die for, dark sweeps against his cheeks as he’d momentarily closed his eyes. She ached to touch him, and run her fingers in that thick dark hair. He couldn’t be more than mid-twenties but there were already silver strands among the dark and that intrigued Dani. There’s something hidden within him, unless I’m mistaken.

Headline

Erotic romance writer falls in love with anonymous guy from picture she picks up on Facebook.

This time it's two guys. She writes them a fantasy menage romance.

She gives each a name ... Viridian and Indigo Parr.  They never leave her thoughts until the story is finished and then ... fickle author, she finds a new muse, falls in love, and starts a new story ...

#WIP 

Read a snippet:

Viridian darted down the back street. Not many people knew it led right past a trade entrance to the palace. No one knew that the gate there was the only part of the outer wall that was alarmed. For six feet on either side of the gate the walls were vulnerable. An agile person who could scale the wall there would gain access to the palace grounds. Viridian was not only agile, his natural strength was enhanced by his daily workouts. He was determined to reach the tower tonight. His cock stirred at the thought of Tara. He pictured her ivory skin and long dark hair. He licked his lips. He could conjure up the feel of her lips on his if he concentrated. He pulled off his shirt and pushed it into the back pocket of his pants. The gate loomed in the darkness. Lit by moonlight, the pillars on either side gleamed with embedded flecks of gold. Viridian leapt.

From Rescuing Cade

At the parking lot, Cade opened the car door and Marissa slid past him to get in. She stopped, her face tilted to his. Mesmerized by his nearness, desperation to kiss him fell like a stone in her stomach.

The air between them wavered as he bent to her and touched his mouth to hers.

Marissa took charge, her arms went up around his neck, and she grasped handfuls of his hair to keep his head to hers and linger in the kiss.

His soft gentle lips parted under hers.

His sigh teased along her lips and she touched the tip of her tongue to his.

This week's #MWTease is from #WIP 'Rescuing Cade' #romance

Rescuing Cade is the working title for this erotic romance WIP

Something strange happened to Cade when Jayne dumped him. Every scrap of confidence he owned disappeared just like the dew on the grass in a blaze of morning sun. Cade felt scorched. Her parting words still burned in his heart.

“You’re hopeless in bed.”

Cade considered her declaration once again as he stared out with unseeing eyes across the wide expanse of river from his corner office in the prestigious tower block. He put down his coffee cup. “Hopeless.” He said it aloud, tasting the bitterness in the finality of the word. “If she’d said, bad, or not very good, but hopeless, it indicates I couldn’t even improve.”

Cade stood and wandered to the huge pane of glass that was the left side of his office wall. He rested his forehead on it and sighed. Today he felt more melancholy than ever. Today was his anniversary. One year ago today, Jayne dumped him. The engagement ring she’d pressed into his hand before she swept out of their apartment was still on the bookshelf where he’d dropped it as tears filled his eyes.

He was ashamed he’d cried, but even now a year later, he saw the busy road far below as a blur. Cade hadn’t dated since the break-up. At first, he couldn’t because truth was, he still loved Jayne, and then he couldn’t because he had no confidence that any woman would want him. She might at first, and then when it comes to my hopeless performance in bed she’ll high tail it quick smart. Cade moved back from the window and saw his breath had made a patch of white on the glass. He wrote the word ‘hopeless’ in the cloud on the window.
