I was intending on trying to do some updates while at RWA. HA! Between chatting to people and internet issues, I'm instead going to set up a couple excerpt posts for you to enjoy.
Oh! And to share that Turn It On won the Passionate Plume first place for contemporary romance! So how about an excerpt from there?
——
Setting both the wall ovens to heat, Maxine turned to manhandle the massive birds to the island to finish stuffing them only to find Ryan had everything including the premade ingredients lined up in rows waiting for her.
“Wow, you're efficient,” she complimented him.
He wiggled his brows at her. “You said something about going back to bed when we're done, so I'm willing to make the chores go by as rapidly as possible.”
She shook her head. “You're bad.” Picking up the bowl with stuffing she made a face before grabbing a handful and sticking it into the first bird. Ryan stepped behind her. His hands caressed the sides of her torso, skimmed her breasts then slipped around to loosen the knot of her robe. “Stop it, you're not helping get the job done any quicker.”
She wiggled but his grasp remained firm. “You go ahead and do your job and I'll do mine. I won't get in your way,” he promised. He licked her earlobe and she smiled in spite of it all. She had her hands full of savory bread and raisins, and her belly was tight with waking desire. Ryan stroked her breasts before sliding his hands down her belly to bury his fingers in her crotch and lightly massage her slit.
“You're a bad boy, and if you keep this up you're getting nothing but a lump of coal for Christmas. Oh my God, what are you doing?”
He had slipped his hand around to her butt, his fingers slick with moisture as he prodded the rosette of her anus. “It's Thanksgiving. It's time for stuffing, right? I have a little present for you.”
She had no way to stop him, no way to protest unless she took her sticky, stuffing-covered hands out of the turkey to defend herself. “You're not really going to… Ryan, I know I told you the other day I was willing for you to teach me about anal sex, but not now. Oh God!”
He suckled on her neck as he slipped his finger in. Her heart pounded. It felt far better than she wished, because she really wanted a reason to get angry.
“We're not going to have sex,” he said reasonably. “You're just going to wear a plug for a little while to start getting you ready.”
“Plug?”
“You're not doing your job, sweetheart,” Ryan pointed out. “Stuffing, right?”
“Bastard.” She finished the first bird and shuffled to the second, his one arm holding her tight to his torso, the other doing wicked, wicked things to her body. She slammed a fistful of stuffing into the avian and cried out with pleasure as he brought both hands into play, one in front, one back. “I'm going to kill you when this is over, you know that, don't you?”
He laughed and rubbed her clit, rolling it gently between his fingers. Her legs started to shake. Something cold and hard poked at her butt, and she sucked in a quick breath.
“It's okay, Maxine, keep breathing. Feel and enjoy.” He increased his fingers' tempo against her clit, and warmth pooled in her belly. The stretching sensation in her anus dropped to a pleasurable…presence. And then the distraction of her breaking climax made everything else fade away.
He held her as she came, the waves of release slow and drawn out, his continued touch lightening as her body grew more sensitive. Then he kissed her cheek and walked to the sink, washing his hands thoroughly before coming to lift the heavy roasting pans into the ovens.
Maxine walked gingerly until she grew used to the plug. It didn't hurt, but she was wet and excited, and he was driving her crazy. Only Ryan would think of such a trick.
“You still plotting to kill me?” he asked, handing her a coffee mug across the island. He tried to look apologetic, but there was too much delight in his eyes for the innocent expression to work.
She shook her head. “It's a good thing you're cute. A bastard, but cute.”
Ryan frowned at her. “Cute? What kind of compliment is that? I'm old, ugly as sin, bossy, and all kinds of other grievous sins, including devious.” He patted her lightly on the butt and she sucked in air as the plug shifted.
“I'm not wearing this all day,” Maxine warned. She couldn't imagine what disasters would happen if the sexual fever building inside distracted her while her family descended on the house.
“Of course not. Only for the morning.” He nibbled her lips, rubbing small circles on her lower back. “Can we go back to bed? I have a few things I want to try while you're wearing that thing.”
Her mouth went dry. She gulped a mouthful of her drink in defense as his expression turned wicked. “I need my coffee.”
“I need you.” He pointed at her mug. “Drink up. You'll want to be awake for this.”
Ryan wrapped himself around her, keeping their bodies in full contact even as he consumed her. Her sweet flavor mixed with the after taste of their coffee, creating an exotic blend. The sensual touch of her fingers as she clutched his shoulders made him forget exactly what he had planned. He guided them blindly through the house, his thoughts jangling together in a heap of desire and obsession. There wasn't an inch of her body he hadn't explored, and he still couldn't get enough of her.
They paused at the doorway to the main dining room and he dropped to his knees, opening her robe to press kisses across the smooth slope of her belly. When she instinctively opened her legs wider, he ran his hands up her thighs, massaging her silky skin. He used his thumbs to tease the pale red curls hiding her pussy, pausing to stroke one finger the length of her wet slit.
She panted, her torso shaking under his caress. “Too much. I'm throbbing. Everywhere. Your touch is too much.” Maxine groaned in frustration and let her head fall back. It hit the doorframe with a thunk. “Shit!”
He smothered his laugh and stood to rub the sore spot. Her lashes fluttered as he stared into her eyes, her pupils dilated wide, drawing him in like a magnet. “Dangerous things, butt plugs.”
“Please, I need…something. It feels good, yet it burns.”
“That's because you're so hot you're on fire, sweetheart.” And he lowered his head to her lips to continue his assault, stealing her breath away.
Making it up the stairs and back to her bedroom took a long, long time, as he got lost in her body again and again. At one point he carried her before lowering her to the top of the stairs and lapping at her pussy until she convulsed under him. He pressed her against the window in the master bedroom, her breasts in contact with the still cool glass. She cried out as he nibbled his way down her back, begging him to touch her, to give her what she needed.
When he peeled her off the windowpane and laid her on the bed her nipples had crinkled to tight buds of rosy pink. He admired them for a moment before warming them under his tongue, drawing another cry of delight from her lips.
He was staking his claim. The house would be filled with people in a few short hours, but for now there was only her. Only him. Together—and he reveled in it.
