Excerpt
With one arm around my waist, he held me close. I felt
his other hand cup the back of my head as he held me still, driving me crazy
with a long, slow, wet kiss. I was squirming on his lap with excitement now.
And he knew exactly what he was doing to me.
He
released me head, drawing his hand slowly down to my breast. I tipped my head
back. He was licking and kissing my throat. Electricity was running wild
through my core. And then just as suddenly, Malone was standing, holding me in
his arms. This was no easy trick, getting out of the clutches of the aunt.
Without a word, he eased me down until my feet touched the hard wood floor.
“Malone?”
“Hush,
Jamie. I want you to do exactly what I say.”
He stepped
over and switched off the light. For an instant I was nervous, until I saw the
mischievous sparkle in his eyes. Now he turned me around so that I was facing one
arm of the sofa. Malone guided me back to the cushions, only now I was kneeling
with my back to him. I could feel the
stubble of his beard lightly scratching my shoulders. He turned his head enough
to inhale the perfume I’d splashed on when changing. It wasn’t strong, but it
lingered. I felt a tingling sensation race down my arms as Malone’s hot breath
warmed my shoulder blades. He tugged the tank top. Now his lips were slowly
moving down the ladder of my spine. I
couldn’t move. Even if I wanted to.
A solitary
fingertip lightly slid down the back of my arm. He was barely touching me, but
oh, baby, where he was touching and how he was touching was setting me on fire.
He shifted lower. I felt the bottom of the tank top move up, exposing my
stomach, the small of my back and my ribs. I cried out in surprise when Malone
nipped me with his teeth, lightly grazing the spot on my back where my kidneys
were. The fingertip continued to graze my arm.
I felt his
lips move back to my spine. Now his tongue flicked out and danced the rest of
the way down, pausing at the waistband of my shorts. His fingertip was gone
now, darting quickly in front to undo my shorts. Somehow he shoved my shorts
down until they were bunched up by my knees. Then his fingernails were lightly
scratching my legs from the hips to the thighs while he continued to kiss the
bottom of my spine. I was shaking. Again I felt a fingertip glide across the
back of my knee.
“Take me,
Malone. I can’t stand it.”
“Soon,
Jamie. Soon.”
“Now,
Malone, please!”
I felt his
palm squeeze my left calf. My orgasm was building so intensely, I was afraid I
was going to implode. His lips danced across the cheeks of my ass. He nipped me
again.
“Malone!
You’re killing me!”
He pulled
back for a heartbeat. Somehow he managed to free himself from his jeans. I felt
him press against me. I was so wet, so aroused, I screamed when he entered me.
My body was quivering, delightful spasms causing my whole being to quake. Never
before had I experienced something so intense, so overpowering. And still he
held me, driving me forward, urging me on for more. I screamed again as he
exploded inside me.

On the Road with Scp - THe FIre Lord - Flossie Benton Rogers
Blurb: When The
Hawk meets his Wytchfae, the result is spontaneous combustion.
Garnet McAnna chases the demon responsible for attacking and enslaving
innocent fae familiars. She never expected to run headlong into a mesmerizing
stranger known as The Hawk. Nor did she anticipate the way his masculine power
kindles a womanly flame within her.
Exiled from an elite warrior's brigade,
Lord of Fire Gabriel Hawk guards his heart and his solitude. He wants nothing
to do with the world of men or the realm of fae. Then a beautiful Wytchfae
bursts into his life, stirring desire and sparking need. Garnet is on a
dangerous mission, and he can't let her face the evil alone. What else can he
do but fight beside her? When she disappears, he raises hell to find her. Will
he be too late? Will darkness conquer this couple or will love burn their souls
into one?
First Line Teaser:
She’d catch the demon tonight if it killed her.
Memorable Quote:
“Garnet McAnna, you’re the hottest woman in thirteen worlds.”
Excerpt 1:
Lost
in her thoughts, Garnet ran up against something hard and springy, and a sharp
point pricked the soft flesh of her thumb. She squeezed off the pain with her
other hand.
Damned barbed wire.
She
had already made it to the fence line and hadn’t even realized it. Sucking in a
deep breath, she cleared her mind to concentrate on the task at hand. She had
to edge around the boundary to the north side of this large piece of private
property to gain access to the portal. Then she’d hunker down in the bushes and
wait on the demon Borros.
Moving
swiftly again, she cut a wide swath away from the metal fence. Snorting sounds
came from within one of the corrals she had noted early this morning when she
skirted the property. Horses and a few cattle had grazed within.
Bearing
around the corner to head north toward the portal, a splash of incandescent
green appeared and then disappeared in front of her. Startled, she blinked and
reached into her coat pocket for the revolver. The weapon lay cold and
substantial in her hand. She stilled her body to a midnight silence.
The
eerie green reappeared and dashed around her body without spotlighting her in
any way. It formed a mysterious elongated glow. She clamped down harder on the
gun handle to stop her hand from trembling, while shifting positions to keep
the phenomenon in front of her.
Her
mind tumbled over possibilities. The light couldn’t be swamp gas, as it seemed
to proceed purposefully. Its movement created a slight whirring sound. A will
’o the wisp? Somehow she thought not, but what was it?
The
presence darted behind her.
Before
she could turn, a warm, corporeal hand covered her own and relieved her of the
weapon. Whirling around, she came face to face with—a man.
A gasp
escaped her lips. With his substantial height, he towered over her. A faint
greenish residue of light illuminated him enough so that the fierce scowl on
his face caused her heart to thump into overdrive.
She
swallowed, fingering the sheath of one of the knives in her pocket. Damn it,
next time she’d bring a backup piece. She forced herself to speak, but despite
her efforts, her voice rasped. “Give me back my weapon.”
His
sonorous growl reminded her of a feral animal. “Not so fast. What the hell are you
doing sneaking around my property with a firearm in the middle of the night?”
Excerpt 2:
Garnet dimpled as
morning’s first whispered glow cast an incandescent gleam on their half-naked
flesh. Lying on their sides, bodies touching, an electrical current seemed to
bolt back and forth between them. Reaching out, she raked a hand through The
Hawk’s blue-black hair. She loved the sight of it spread out on the pillow and
its silken texture in her fingers. The hard planes of his chest enticed her to
seek him there as well.
One corner of his
mouth tilted into a smile. “Brazen woman.”
