Would You Like Candy or Kink For Xmas? #bloghop #ebook #GC

How about a little bit of both?

Welcome to my stop on the Candy Cane Kink Blog Hop! I would like to thank Close Encounters of the Night Kind and Natasha Blackthorne for sponsoring the hop!

Now…let’s have some kinky fun!

What is more kinkier than a sexy secret Santa? Nothing I tell you. I got a little kinky with my Christmas story, The Secret Santa Project!

Here’s an excerpt…

They hurried past the bar and the restaurant and fell into the elevator in each other’s arms. Thank God, they were alone.

She sought out the thick, hard length of his cock with her palm, and he went rigid, his breathing fast and labored. “Oh, I’ve waited so long for this,” she said on a sigh.

His thumbs moved in slow circles around her nipples. She let a whimper escape and closed her hand around him. He gazed at her with heavy, half-lidded eyes and continued to pleasure her breasts.

“You have no idea,” he said as the door opened.

They rushed out into the hallway, laughing and stumbling toward the room. He backed her against the door, lingering over her neck as he slipped the keycard into the slot.

She moved her palm along his impressive length, which strained against his pants, and he groaned. Inside the room, he dropped the present and his jacket to the floor, and she kicked off her shoes. His mouth swooped down again to her nipples, and her knees began to shake. The tips of his fingers moved along her shoulders and eased her dress down until it fell in a heap at her feet. She stepped out of it.

“Beautiful,” he said, trailing the pads of his fingers over her stomach, across her hip, to the rim of her panties. Unaware she’d been holding her breath, she released it in a slow, ragged exhale. She gasped when his digits plunged inside her thong to cup and stroke her, parting her with a strong, sure touch that quickly found her most secret spot and teased it.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew they needed to stop, take a breath, and talk. But the happiness and desire swirling inside her wouldn’t allow it. She jerked at his touch, tension coiling within her tighter and tighter. The air in the room was cool and caused her already swollen nipples to pucker even more.

Richard’s mouth closed around her breast, and she moaned, allowing her head to fall back in ecstasy. Gently, he pushed her backward until she rested on the bed. Kneeling between her thighs, he kissed and licked a path down her belly until he reached the apex between her legs. He used a thumb to trace the line of her lower lips, making her quiver from head to toe. He rubbed delicious circles around the fleshy center, sliding back and forth until he stopped at her clit.

Her breath came in short pants as her body began to crest to that magnificent place where ecstasy and passion collide. But then he took his thumb away, and she whimpered, ‘No. Oh, no. Please don’t stop.”

“Don’t worry, baby. I’m just getting started,” he said as he began to remove his clothes. His body was all sinewy muscle, firm and sleek, like some Greek god.

And he was finally hers.

When he finished, his strong hands pushed her knees far apart, and then his face was between her legs, nuzzling her, kissing the tender flesh. Any thought she held in her head emptied when his mouth closed over her clit and she cried out. Richard made a definite sound of male pleasure deep in his throat and pushed her thighs back even more. He parted her lips with his tongue and lapped at her as if he were trying to get to the center of a lollipop.

Reghan melted under his assault, forming small, unintelligible cries of bliss in the back of her throat. He went on and on, gyrating his tongue one moment then plunging it inside the next. He gripped her bottom and continued to lick her over and over until he fastened on her clitoris and sucked it hard.

She shattered and felt like a million stars bursting in the sky at the same time. Screaming in ecstasy, she gripped the sheets as her back arched off the bed.

 What are my prizes?

One (1) lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to Amazon and (2) lucky winners will receive an e-copy of my Halloween short story, Halloween Wish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love Halloween! I don’t think there’s a kid out there that doesn’t. What makes it more fun? Parties and costumes!!! Being able to dress up and run around outside at night with your friends was the best time ever.  Now…costume buying now is NOTHING compared to what it was 30…I mean 10 years ago when I was a kid. (Hey…stop laughing!) Whatever costume you can imagine, 9 times out of 10…it’s out there. You don’t have to be a witch or a ghost anymore. You can be a sexy kitten, a fairy, a leprechaun, a zombie or a pirate. My most memorable Halloween costume was dressing up as Princess Barbie. 

My heroine in Halloween Wish Jordan goes to a Halloween party dressed as a genie. Check out this blurb and excerpt.

For Jordan Keys, a neighbors Halloween party is her last chance to fulfill a desire that has fueled her dreams for years, to spend one night in the arms of Kaden James. When she put on her genie costume, she never expected Kaden to ask her for the one wish she’s always wanted. But when the night is over, will a Halloween wish be the beginning or the end, after they discover that one night may never be enough to make all their wishes come true.

Her gaze slid over him, taking in the rest of his costume until she met his eyes. Boy did it accentuate his muscular physique. She attempted to keep any emotion she felt off her face as her heart began to thump wildly. The shirt he wore had a split up the middle, and his incredible abs winked at her from underneath. He had on a white skirt, a blue and gold belt wrapped around his waist. It wasn’t a skirt exactly, but for the life of her she couldn’t recall the correct name of the rest of his costume. Her mind had turned into mush.

“Kaden.”

He sat his glass down on a side table and smiled. “Hey, Natalie. Can I steal Jatoi away from you?”

“Sure.” Before Natalie walked away, she whispered, “Remember what I said. Last chance.”

“Last chance for what?” he asked.

Jatoi was flooded with embarrassment. “Nothing. We were just talking about…nothing. How are you?” She allowed her gaze to travel the length of him again. “I like your costume. Which Egyptian god are you?” A kilt. That’s it, she thought.

“King Tut.”

When he mimicked her and his gaze slid down her body and back up again, desire squeezed the air from her lungs.

“You look great.”

A rush of pleasure went through her. She moved her hands over her thighs to grasp the folds of the material that billowed at her legs. “I Dream of Jeannie. I don’t know why I let Nat talk me into wearing this thing.”

She wanted to look sexy, that’s why. They’d gone to four different stores searching out something to wear. When she’d put it on, Natalie told her she had to buy it, and after looking at herself in the mirror, she thought she’d made the right choice. It covered up all the essential parts, yet showed just enough skin. Plus she’d found one in purple and lavender, not the typical pink. And Natalie had been right. She knew Kaden would be at the party. She’d paired it with a cute pair of spiky heels that made her feel like she was on stilts. Goodness, she hoped she didn’t fall.

He took a step closer, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her forward. He whispered into her ear, “Can I make a wish?”

Jatoi knew he’d asked her something. Her brain registered the fact that he’d just touched her. The feel of his fingers against her bare lower back sent every cell in her body into hypersexual overdrive.

She looked up into fathomless green eyes that hadn’t changed at all. They were still rimmed by thick dark lashes and still reminded her of the summers she’d spent running through the fields on her grandfather’s farm in Arkansas.

She cleared her throat. With courage she didn’t know she possessed, she responded, “You have to find my bottle and rub it three times first. I can’t grant you a wish unless you find it.”

ARE YOU READY TO GET WICKED AFTER DARK WITH LYRIC JAMES?

Of course you are! Plus…there’s a chance to win prizes.

Thanks for stopping by my stop on the Wicked After Dark Halloween Blog Hop. Special thanks to Close Encounters With The Night Kind and Natasha Blackhorne for organizing and hosting this blog hop.

Make sure you stop by each author and/or bloggers hop for a chance to win a ton of prizes.

What are my prizes?

One (1) lucky winner will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to Eden Fantasys and two (2) lucky winners will receive an e-copy of my Halloween short story, Halloween Wish. 

I love Halloween. It’s the only time of year I…kids…can gorge themselves on candy and the parents don’t mind. The candy I look forward to is Brach’s Candy Corn. Now don’t get me wrong…I love my chocolate…but this is the only time of the year that stores carry loads of this wonderful goodness. In fact…I have a bag in my office drawer right now. Ha!

My second favorite thing about Halloween….parties! It’s a time when adults can dress up in costumes and be anything they want. Check out this excerpt from my short-story, Halloween Wish.

Double Day FRIDAY w/a Contest!!!

Friday, December 16th, 2011 | Book Review Friday, Contests, Holiday's | No Comments

Friday’s are usually dedicated to a review of books I’ve read recently, but today or, this weekend, I’m participating in a Christmas blog-hop with a ton of other writers. So, you’ll get my reviews, plus the information about the blog-hop AND a contest!

Today’s two books are both by Julia Quinn, one of my favorite authors, who writes regency historical fiction. Now, let me say first that these two books are the conclusion of a series of books she wrote about a family of siblings. So, if you want to read the books in order, and get the “history” of the characters first (even though each book is a stand-alone), you’ll have to read the other six books. But, I can attest to the fact that the entire series is wonderful, so it wouldn’t hurt you to go back and read the other books too. However again, I’m just going to talk about the two I just finished reading a week or so ago.

These two books end the Bridgerton Series about 8 siblings and these two are about the youngest of the bunch, It’s In His Kiss is Hyacinth’s story and On The Way To The Wedding is Gregory’s story.

Hyacinth is my kind of regency lady. She falls in love with an alpha hero, but it doesn’t stop her from being her own woman, speaking her mind and basically doing what she wants to do to win her true love. Greg’s story is a little bit different in that he “thinks” he’s fallen in love with the right woman, but you know men…they hardly get things right the first time around, so, it takes a very unique woman to win his heart and she does.

I loved both books soooo much. And imagine my surprise when after I bought them with my Kindle app…I realized that I already had them in paperback at home. Go figure! You know how you buy so many books sometimes, stuff happens and you never get around to reading them. Well, I guess that’s what happened to me. I’m not upset though! Truly. I don’t mind having them in both paperback and e-published because that’s how much I enjoyed these books and I’m a huge JQ fan anyway.  

Now…to the contest!

http://thebloghopspot.com/event-page/ 

All you have to do is comment and tell me the favorite genre’s you like to read. If you’re like me, you’re all over the place. I like contemporary romance, erotic contemporary romance, paranormal, regency, young adult…like I said, all over the place. I just love a really good book and if I love it, you can bet I’m a fan of that author for life. 

Each commentor will be entered into a drawing to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Amazon and an e-copy of my Christmas story, The Secret Santa Project. This contest, as well as the Christmas blog-hop, lasts all weekend. Make sure you leave your e-mail address in the comments. I’ll announce my winner on Monday morning! Click the blog-hop link above to go to the blog-hop event page to see the other authors participating so you can visit their blogs and enter their contests as well…there are a lot of great prizes to win!

Have a great weekend!

Love, peace and sex!

Happy Halloween!

Sunday, October 30th, 2011 | Holiday's, Random Thought Sunday | No Comments

A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween party. He doesn’t know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem. A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a pirate’s outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a monk’s costume. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint. The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

LOL … Wnat more? Visit http://www.hauntedbay.com/entertaining/jokes/jokesm.shtml

Also…don’t forget to stop by the Panormal Romantics Blog for a chance to win your choice of a Nook, Kindle Touch, or a $100 gift cert to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble.  Find my blog post for a chance to win a copy of my new story, Halloween Wish.
