I'm
very excited to have Shyla Colt as my guest today. Not only is she a great editor, she is an amazing author. I always have her books on my tbr pile. Here's a chance to find out a little about her latest work...
I want to thank Raven for letting me stop by and chat about
my latest release Cursed. What was supposed to be a dark witch tale for Halloween, turned into a
humorous paranormal romp in a small southern town. I adore it, and hope you
enjoy the sneak peak. :Winks:
Blurb:
It’s common knowledge the Edgeworth men are unlucky in
love. Great, great, grandpa bought them
a one way ticket to heart break when he romanced the local witch’s daughter,
took her money and disappeared off into the sunset. Ashamed the Voiles moved
away, until now. As the eldest son, it’s up to him to persuade the women to
remove the curse. He realizes quickly he
wants to keep, Avalyn Voiles for himself.
Now he just needs to make her believe his affections are real and
overcome decades of bad blood...
Avalyn’s spent her whole life hearing her grandmother bad
mouth the Edgeworth family. So, the last thing she expects when she returns to
Baxter, was for the witty, charming, sexy Colton to be her perfect match. Should she take a chance on love and risk
history repeating itself?
Excerpt:
She came to stand in front of him with her
hands linked behind her back. She titled her head to the side and peered up at
him from beneath long black lashes.
“I’ve spent the past month miserable because of
a past I had nothing to do with. I’m done with that.”
He held his breath, afraid he might have
misunderstood.
Her gaze met his, and her dark eyes were filled
with an intense longing he knew would be mirrored in his own. His thoughts had
centered on this woman day in and day out. Even now his hands itched to wind
themselves in her hair as he pulled her body to rest against his own. He
swallowed. The sound seemed to echo in the quiet room as he waited for her next
move. Avalyn stepped closer.
“I guess what I’m trying to say is…” Her voice
was a whisper of silk, low and sensual. It washed over him. She trailed the
tips of two fingers from his clavicle to his chest, where she spread her palm
over his heart. He lowered his lids to half-mast as arousal began to weave its
wicked spell. “I’m done with that.” She leaned in closer; her body rubbed against
his, burning him through the material of his clothing as she went on her
tiptoes. Full lips brushed grazed his Adam’s apple, and he gasped when her
tongue darted out to flicker over his pulse point.
“Tasty. I knew you would be.” Her breath was
warm as it swirled over the wet path she’d created moments before, making it
tingle. His head spun. How had he gone from aggressor to this? His cock
hardened and strained against the zipper of his jeans. He was about three
seconds from taking her on his desk.
“Yes, that’s exactly what I want.”
Her husky voice made his eyebrows shoot up
toward the ceiling. Had she just read his mind?
“No, I read your eyes. I want every ounce of
the lust I see in those pretty green orbs, Colton. I’ve been celibate a long
time. I’m ready to be filled, ridden, and wrung out to dry. Do you think you
can do that?”
Was she
serious?
“Don’t worry, this isn’t a trap. You’ll find I
say what I mean.”
A trail of goose bumps broke out over his body
as she rocked her hips into his and nipped at his bottom lip. He groaned.
Shouldn’t they talk? She issued another sharp bite. The soothing feel of her
slippery tongue knocked all rational thought from his mind.
Fuck it.
He bent over to grab her thighs, and she
wrapped her slender legs around his waist. Her nails scrapped across his scalp,
and he grunted when she gave a light tug on his hair. “Damn, your hair is
softer than I imagined it would be. It’s like red satin.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be my line?” he asked.
She laughed, a raspy sound that made his
stomach quiver. “Oh, I’m an equal opportunity kind of girl.”
“God, you’re sexy.”
“Mhmm, the feeling is mutual.”
She nipped at his neck, and her nails dug into
his shoulders. He hissed. The pleasurable pain made the tip of his dick harden
further and leak. Damn, she’d made him wet!
“Are you trying to mark me, woman?”
“I like everyone to know when something’s mine.”
She rotated her hips and purred low in her throat.
“Is that what I am?”
“Oh, yes, I think that’s what you’ve from the
moment we first met.”
He opened his mouth to protest, but the
rotation of her hips strangled his words in a choke hold.
“Don’t worry, Coly, the possession works both
ways.”
The whispered words made something inside him
snap. The need to claim what was his goaded him into action. He spun them
around, bent over, and swiped the desk with his right arm. Paperwork, pens, and
folders flew through the air, landing helter-skelter around the room. He placed
Avalyn’s body onto the desk with a soft thud. A mewl left her lips, and she
arched her back. It was obvious she enjoyed the roughness. Her eyes opened. A
sinful spark smoldered in her fathomless eyes.
“Don’t worry, I won’t break.”
He placed his forearms on either side of her
head and leaned down to taste her lips. She was like a shot of espresso, sweet
and exhilarating. He tilted his head to deepen their lip-lock. Their tongues
wrestled for dominance. The back and forth power play had him more turned on than
he’d ever been in his life. He’d never imagined things could be this way. They
came apart to suck down air, and she pushed against his chest.
“Naked, now.”
Her commanding tone made him growl. The rumble
echoed in his chest. He stood and began to unbutton his flannel shirt as she
shed her tank top. He pulled the flannel off and ripped the white T-shirt
underneath it. Her breasts were firm and high with large, milk chocolate-colored
nipples that called him in like a homing beacon. Unable to resist their siren’s
call, he walked over to the desk, pulled her to the edge, and feasted. He
sucked a hard pebble into his mouth and massaged the other. She arched her back
like a cat, and he knew he’d hit an erroneous zone. She roamed his body with
her, scorching his skin as she explored
Sharp nails sunk into his flesh, and he bit
down on her nipple. She released a squeal that made his chest swell with pride.
He wanted to please this woman more than he’d ever wanted to do anything else.
He pulled back a few minutes later, eager to taste more of her skin. She was a
fire in his blood, in his very veins. He could only extinguish the flames by
having every part of her. He kissed his way down her firm stomach and paused at
the button of her jeans.
“Oh, don’t stop now. It’s just getting good.”
