#SexySnippets from a hot, dark Vampire

Welcome to this week's #SexySnippets

As someone was asking about Vampire stories in a facebook group...

Guess where today's seven sentences come from...

At a mysterious masquerade ball, two lovers with an unknown agenda wonder what will happen when the masks come off at dawn? 

Dorissa has always refused Rafe’s offer of marriage, but this ball might just be the right time to change the ton's strictly-enforced rules. Provided they both survive until the morning...

and your #SexySnippets

“Stay like that and touch you nipples, Dorissa; I know you can do it.” Rafe walked back to her and nudged her legs apart with his knee. “Show me how much you want to obey me, how much you want to be fucked. Do it now.”

As ever he was correct, and with a little difficulty, Dorissa maneuvered her hands across her chest, reached her nipples, and pinched them hard between her thumbs and forefingers. Even doing that herself was arousing. She sighed—dare she ask for more?

Where's the magic wand when you need it?

HI All, 

Anyone know a good fairy with a magic wand to let me fit more wordage into less time?

I'm wondering how to fit more writing in. So much going on and my writing time is dwindling rapidly. Not good.

Which is one reason why I'm not hosting a lot of people at the moment on here, and I hate that. I like to share my blog with others.

However, to do that, I have to know I can pimp and promo their guest slot, and at the moment I'm hard pressed to pimp and promo me, let alone anyone else. 

(Did you know I had a book out this week? DeAnne's Dilemma from Evernight publishing here )

I was talking about the guests and promo to a friend, who agrees with me, that if someone takes the time to send you a promo you need to be able to showcase it properly. However, they—the guest—need to reciprocate and also promote their post.

And we decided send everything you need to put that post up, so you as the host don't have to spend hours trying to find buy links or the cover or whatever.

Which means of course, a you are more likely to be invited back, and b, it's a two way thing. Tit for Tat so to speak.

Now, that doesn't mean because I once hosted you I expect you to host me. I hope you will, but it's not a god given right. And I understand it's not always easy. Oh boy do I. But if you do, I'll make darned sure you get everything you need to put that blog post up. And promo it and say thank you.

Now I'd better get on with writing this WIP.

Hopefully once I get this new 'timetable' sorted I'll be able to host more people again—and send out pretty please will you host me requests as well.

Until then,

happy reading,

love Raven xx

#MidWeekTease with a dilemma—DeAnne's Dilemma

Now DeAnne's Dilemma is out so you can get your hands on it, (I was going to say sticky little mitts, but that's rude)

So instead I'll give you a tease from it, And of course the buy link 

here

Let's see, what shall I tease you with?

Ahh

snigger

“Anyway, what next?” Sandie asked, and I stopped thinking about coffee with whisky, and about how to hold my stomach in and

not let the girls hang low or go free instead.
“You hide your hickey?” I suggested. It was so noticeable it
shouted, “I’ve been fucked.” “Just because it’s a wedding pic.” Not at all because I was jealous. Not now at any rate. I hoped I didn’t show any evidence, but oh boy, wasn’t I in the same situation. “Otherwise if you get it, why not flaunt it, you lucky sod.”
“I am, aren’t I? Boy, he was... Oh, fu—shi—er, flip,” Sandie stammered and then went red. She’d split up with a no-good scumbag a few months before and on her own admission didn’t trust her judgment in men. “Might be a good idea. Anyone got some concealer?”
Beatrix sighed and fished a slim stick out of a pocket. Sandie took it with a sweet and insincere smile. “Proper little right-hand woman, eh?” she said quietly to me as she accepted it with a saccharine smile and said “thank you” out loud. “But why does it make me want to bitch-slap her?”
“Too good to be true?” I suggested. I totally understood. The woman had a way of rubbing people up the wrong way without even trying. I wouldn’t want to be her other half.
“Probably. Bet she pulls wings off flies.”
After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, Beatrix eventually arranged us to her satisfaction with only a few very caustic comments, one of which was about how I seemed to have changed shape and my color had heightened. “You’ll need to make sure you’re slightly behind one of the others.”
“She can’t. She’s the boss bridesmaid,” Leslie objected. “Got to be up at the front.”
“Then she shouldn’t look like that,” Beatrix snapped. “She looks...” Her voice trailed off.
Bitch. Now, I’d love to say I don’t get that riled easily, but that would be an out and out lie. I do. As Quinn once said, from placid to harridan in thirty seconds or less. And when I do, take cover.
This was a take cover time. I straightened and out of the corner of my eyes saw my fellow maids exchange amused glances. They knew me and my temper.
“Well, honey,” I drawled and almost made myself sick with the sugary, saccharine, sweet tone. Behind me Sandie snorted, and Rhonda pinched my waist in warning to back off. She recognized that tone. However, it was too late.

“Believe me, there was a very good, six foot four, dark haired, blue eyed, sexy as hell reason for that. You see, I’ve just been thoroughly fucked.”
Sandie high-fived. “And me. Though no blue eyes involved. More of a dark, dark grey. We’re allowed.” She stared at the hapless, red-faced—though I guess not through a good fuck—photographer, while I rapidly went through the guest list to try to remember who had dark, dark grey eyes.
“So,” Sandie said in an exaggerated manner. “What’s your excuse, honey? Sheer bitchiness?”
Leslie, usually the peacemaker, added her two pennorth. “Lucky sods, both of you. I swear I’d need a manual to find my lady bits.” She rolled her eyes as she used the euphemism we all hated. “I’ll have to live vicariously through you both.”
Hmm, probably not. “Yeah well, now you’ll have to live through the rest of these photos or we’ll never get away, and you definitely will need a manual. On how to dispose of the body.”
Even Beatrix laughed at that, and I felt a right rotten bastard. Oh, for all of four seconds until she rearranged her features into a scowl and stamped her foot.

#SexySnippets with a man on a mission

This week it's seven sentences from this unnamed Dark Isle I'm writing (as Kera Faire) 

Aiden Fox, usually known, revered and feared in equal measures as Fox or The Fox, scanned the emails sent to him, swore and cussed one Michael Hoult. He was becoming a nuisance.

First of all the man had left the covert group Fox had overseen—unknown—then turned up as a bloody Dispatcher.

Now he was certain someone was intercepting his emails and he wouldn’t bet his pension to insist it wasn’t Hoult.

The irony was he had the intention of using the dispatchers not dispersing them like his lord and masters thought he would.

Maybe it was time to turn the situation to his own advantage. Rapidly Fox began to type...as from the date ascertained, it will change for it is as it was feared the... and sent it unfinished.

#MidWeekTease from a new Death Isle story, by Kera Faire

This week's #MidWeekTease is from the next Death Isle book by Kera Faire. (my dark side)

What do you think?

(It is word vomit)

"Do you miss it?" Astrid asked as she and Darke leant on the empty pig sty and gazed out across the loch. 
The December day was drawing to a close, the sky full of snow, and the air scented with that indefinable smell of winter. Most of the trees that once shielded the buildings had been chopped down the rest denuded of leaves. It was both desolate and beautiful.
A heron flew over, the sound of its wings loud in the stillness.
Astrid shivered as she looked up at her silent husband.
"You know, the adrenaline, the danger, the knowledge you were doing something positive to make out country a better place for our kids to grow up?"
Darke stirred, turned to lean his back on the wall of the pen and pulled her toward him. 
"Yes and no. I find it somewhat alarming that to all intents and purposes it's deemed the Dispatchers aren't necessary. Perturbed that this new government seems to think everything in the world is hunky dory, and they don't need people like us." He sighed and kissed his wife's nose. "If I felt the same, I'd turn my back on it all, take you and the kids ad emigrate to n island in the south pacific and lotus eat for the rest of our lives." 
"You'd be bored rigid within a week," Astrid said shrewdly.
Darke laughed. "Oh so true my love.' He sobered and stared down at his wife. "Between us? I have that itch. The one that tells me to be alert, that something is going to go down before long." He stood silent for a moment. "I think we need to get everyone together, see what we can find out, and be aware."

#TantalizingTuesdays and My Future (well not mine but you know what I mean)

So a bit different, and hello yes it's me again.

This week, I'm giving you something you might hate me for.

His Future

(Source pinterest)

This time it would be different. This time I would ask, not plunder.

This time

I told her as she begged me not to go ahead. She was mine.

To my shame, taken by me, as my tribe decreed.

To my shame.

I took, I left.

Now it will be different. I promise myself that.

I keep my vows.

The boat surges ahead. I hold on, the rope around my hand keeps the fender ready.

I’ve missed her. Pleasured myself with her name on my lips.

Forced myself to wait until I can be with her forever.

My Cordelia. My lady of the sea.

I land and stride to the village. Eager to see my love once more.

The wailing greets me.

Where is my lady?

I look toward the church.

A coffin sits outside.

My stomach clenches. The priest sees me and walks over.

‘My lord.’ His old lined face stares at me with pity. ‘She is gone.’

 I walk around him. To gaze at my lifeless love.

‘How?’ I could say no more.

‘By giving you your future.’

I spin round. A white haired crone hands me a wriggling bundle.

My future stares at me, farts and smiles.

So, there's, me, Doris O'Connor here and my alter ego Katy Lilley here who have decided to tease you here.

Enjoy,

Happy Reading,

love Raven x

#SexySnippets with a man and a razor

Hi everyone,

Welcome to SexySnippets.

Today's #SexySnippets are from an early Regency book of mine. Nash's Niche. It came about because this popped on my this day bit on FaceBook. From 5 years ago. Goodness. But as I read it I thought...hmmm, that's perfect for #SexySnippets

Blurb...

A chance meeting at a masked ball leads to explosive and unforgettable sex for both Nash and Felicity.

Reunited under dangerous circumstances, they realize they may have to fight for their love, especially when Felicity is promised to Nash's brother.

With the future of the country at stake and unsure who to trust, can there be a happily ever after for the star stuck lovers?

Here's your #SexySnippets

He cut her curls as short as he could. 
Her eyes widened as the cold steel skimmed over her skin. It seemed his lady was oh so receptive to that cold touch. 
If only he had some ice he could introduce her to many more sensations. Nash let the closed blades stroke her cleft, and laughed softly as she gasped and took a deep shuddering breath. 
It was with reluctance he put the scissors down and picked up the razor and strop and denuded a small circle of hair just above the entrance to her channel. He wanted to pin her under him, and tease every last inch of her with the chill of anticipation before showing her how heat and cold could work so well together.


You can find Nash's Niche on Amazon, Bookstrand, Smashwords and here (Evernight Publishing)
