Walk on the Wild Side with Portia Da Costa

The ever prolific Portia da Costa has a new Walk on the Wild Side Release for readers, a title called IN SEBASTIAN'S HANDS. This one is a mini anthology comprising three BDSM stories about the same couple. Each story is a snapshot of Sebastian and Megan, at a different stage in their relationship.

In LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND SEBASTIAN, they meet at a fancy dress party, and it isn't long before Megan discovers her handsome new friend's sexual peccadilloes... and the fact that she seems to enjoy being spanked!

In IT'S TIME, the couple have been together a while, and are confident in each other and the erotic games they love to play. One evening, it dawns on them they're ready to take their relationship to a brand new level.

In THE ROSES IN YOUR CHEEKS, we find that Megan and Sebastian are a happily married couple, but that doesn't mean they've settled down to a life of vanilla sex. During a weekend at a posh country inn, they're up to their usual naughty BDSM tricks.

Approximately 12,000 words.

New publication: EROTICA FANTASTICA

In the immortal words of Monty Python... and now for something completely different...

Well, kind of. :) I've gathered together four of my more unusual short stories in a little e-anthology. These are all previously published in various journals and anthologies, but it's the first time they've been brought together like this. If you are interested in fantasy erotica -- myth, adult fairy tales, erotic steampunk and gothic horror, this might be your cup of tea. :) If you are thinking of downloading it, please do check you haven't already read these elsewhere.

Right, on to the detals...

Four tales of love, lust, and destiny, set in fantasy worlds.

Heart of the Daedalus:
Nina Ashford stalks the Romney Marshes to find the whereabouts of The Dadealus, a machine she designed. In this steampunk erotic romance Nina finds her machine and she also finds the man who stole her designs, Dominic Bartleby, who has lured here there to offer her a deal.

The Tender Trap:
A dark and sensual green man tale. The young maiden, Tara, sleepwalks at night, following destiny's call to the subterranean life force that beckons to her from the graveyard beyond the woods.

The True Folly of Icarus:
Why did Icarus fly to close to the sun? In this erotic re-imagining of Icarus's fatal flight, a steamy ménage a trois with two nymphs in the forest plays a crucial part in the tale of Icarus and his flight.

Where The Heart Is:
Rhiannon finds herself irresistibly drawn to the moor in this gothic horror erotic romance. Haunted by dreams of a strange man who lives on the moor, Rhiannon walks the land, studying its legends and history. When she is injured and stranded, a strange creature comes to her in the night. Rhiannon finds herself torn between fear and arousal--and discovers the true nature of her dark connection to the moor.

Around 16,000 words in total. Please note: this collection features content that may offend some readers, including explicit adult scenes with graphic m/f and f/m/f sex and some bloodlust. These stories were previously published in Steamlust, Visionary Tongue, Seducing The Myth and Dream Lover, respectively.

Coming soon: FAYE'S SPIRIT (Erogenous Zones 3)

It's just two weeks (on Monday) until FAYE'S SPIRIT is published, so I thought I'd throw out a naughty teaser! :)

Faye's story is the third and final instalment in the Erogenous Zones series. The ebook version is due on 27th February, with a print version to follow in March.

Here's the cover copy and an excerpt:

One outrageous weekend with two men, that's what Faye Evans dreams of, but when she meets Jai and Garth—and their live in ghost—she gets much more than she bargained for.

Faye Evans is a woman on a mission. Both her older sisters have had ménage à trois relationships and now Faye too harbours a desire to sample the pleasures of two men, if only for a single wild weekend. The opportunity arises when architect Garth Connor calls her in to investigate the ghostly presence in his business premises. Both Garth and his business partner, Jai Nilson, are gorgeous hunks, and Faye can't help being attracted to them.

Garth and Jai are friends and colleagues but their relationship is competitive. When the mischievous ghost medium walks into their life and shows interests in them both, the edge between them sharpens. While Jai often walks on the wild side, Garth has never shared a woman before, but his desire for Faye makes him rise to the challenge. Especially when Jai quickly picks up on Faye's secret wishes and pushes things along, orchestrating their interactions until the simmering eroticism between them demands hardcore action.

But Faye's fling isn't as straightforward as she'd anticipated. She soon worries that she's endangered Garth and Jai's friendship by getting involved, and even more so when the shadow of a secret, long held grudge between the two men falls over their threesome and their growing affection. To top it all, dealing with the resident ghost only adds to the emotional entanglement, making Faye feel she wants to end it and run. But are Garth and Jai about to let her get away?

EXCERPT: (Please note: adult content)

Before Garth had a chance to flood the place with light, Faye turned and locked eyes with him and it changed everything. The look she gave him made him reconsider. Half-lit, she looked so damn sultry. The lights were perfect as they were. There was an invitation there in her eyes. She didn’t want him to leave them alone.

Garth couldn't walk away.

Jai lifted his head too and without breaking the entwined embrace they were locked in, they both stared Garth’s way.

Expectation built in the atmosphere.

“Our host looks as if he thinks he’s missing out on the action,” Jai commented.

Garth gritted his teeth, determined not to let Jai rile him, not now. Instead he studied Faye, wanting to know her thoughts, determined to do so.

She nodded at Jai’s comment, but she didn’t break the eye contact she maintained with Garth.

Garth clung to that. “You’re my guest. Are you comfortable with this…situation?”

After a long moment she responded. “I think so, if you are?”

Her voice trembled slightly, but she wasn’t under pressure. Was Jai right, did she want them both? Was she kinky that way and, if so, what did she want exactly—a threesome, or someone to watch her getting it on with Jai? The questions flooded his mind, and Izzy strolled through his confused thoughts again as well, making him question his own motives.

This was not about Izzy. That much he knew, despite Jai’s suggestion that it was. He was a different man now and he wanted Faye.

Still Jai stroked her body, shifting the fabric of her dress as he did so, making the hemline move higher. Garth couldn’t have turned away even if he wanted to, because he wanted to touch her the way Jai was, maybe lifting that dress high enough so that he could cup her bottom and lift her against him. It struck him how easily he could hold and carry her—and wrap her legs around him—if she wanted him to. His cock hardened.

When Jai kissed her neck again, her head dropped back. Her breasts buoyed against the fabric of her dress—and against Jai’s body.

The tension in Garth’s shoulders built. His spine grew ramrod straight. He wanted to cause that reaction in her, he wanted to feel her body ripple under his hands as he kissed and stroked her and made love to her.

Jai moved, turning Faye to face Garth more openly. Jai stood behind her with his hand wrapped around her waist while he kissed the side of her face in a playful, light-hearted way.

Fuck him. Garth couldn’t be like that with a woman, not right away, and Faye was enjoying what Jai was doing her. What chance did he have?

“Perhaps Garth is enjoying seeing you this way,” Jai said, loud enough for everyone’s benefit, “and who could blame him, you’re a very attractive woman.”

Garth battled with his self-control. Why couldn’t he be more like Jai? He wanted to go over there and grab her into his arms, but he was afraid that if he did he might be tempted to thump his old friend in the process. “You’re being deliberately provocative, Jai.”

Faye shifted within Jai’s grasp. “I thought you two had done this before.”

Nonplussed, Garth gave her a querying look.

“Shared a woman,” she added.

Jai only seemed to thrive on her remark. He locked both arms around her waist and watched Garth over her shoulder, his mouth curved at one corner. “You like the idea do you, the idea of Garth and I sharing a woman?”

“Yes, but I thought that’s what you…” Her voice trailed off and her eyelids lowered. Her cheekbones coloured.

Garth could see that Jai stroked her again, moving his hand over her hip bones. He rocked against her from behind. Garth curled his hands into fists. She would be able to feel everything against her back, and Jai was bound to have an erection. Christ knows he had one, and he wasn’t even touching her.

“No, we haven’t shared a woman.” Garth put it out there, needing to state that truth, but perversely also wanting to push things forward. What with his urge to compete with Jai and sexual desire feeding his thoughts and actions, logic and reason were slipping from his grasp. “Why, do you want that?”

Her eyelids lifted. “It was a fantasy of mine and when I met you, I thought…” The colour on her cheeks heightened. “I got the impression that maybe you had.”

“Just because we haven’t, doesn’t mean we never would.” Jai moved his fingers to her chin, turning her face to his and kissing her on the mouth.

Garth’s cock ached within the confines of his clothing—his balls tightening, his body readying for sex—even while he wondered if he could live up to her fantasy. Sharing a woman with Jai? He’d thought about it, because of Izzy, but he never really believed it could happen. And still he doubted his own motivations. Too long without a woman. But no, he still wanted her. Her tinkling laughter, her grounded words and that flashing smile magnetised him.

When Jai drew back he looked Garth directly in the eye. Slowly that dress of hers had shifted up her thighs. “I’m sure Garth would like to see what you look like when someone is making love to you.”

Garth caught sight of over-the-knee stocking tops and purple lace panties, and he lost it. “I would like to see that,” he said, overly loudly, “but I’d rather be the person who was making love to her.”

It came out of nowhere, but Garth couldn’t help himself. He had to have his say or this thing would be out of his control.

Faye moaned softly.

Despite the frustration he felt he could see that Jai was pleased by his response.

Garth twitched with annoyance. He was being drawn in but he resented the feeling that he was being manipulated by his more experienced friend. “Show some respect. Faye is our guest, not a plaything.”

Jai gave a husky laugh. “Well, Faye, your honourable host is worried that you aren’t happy about this. If he could feel the energy coming off you,” he paused and ran his fingers from her chin down her neck and into her cleavage, before cupping his hand around one breast, “I don’t think he’d have any doubts.”

Garth ground his teeth, narrowing his eyes as he observed.

Faye’s eyelids lowered and she moaned aloud when Jai’s hand moved around her breast, holding her through her dress. “I’m okay,” she murmured, panting for breath, and looked at Garth. “Don’t worry.” Then she reached out her hand to him, her fingers beckoning to him. “Please, come closer.”

Pure, primal lust surged through Garth.

“You are such a temptation.” He whispered the words under his breath, never thinking for a moment she would hear him.

“This situation," she responded, "that’s the temptation.”

Where I've been hiding, and some reading recs.

It's been a heck of a while since I've done a proper update here. I've been hiding away in the writing cave, working on THE LIBERTINE (coming from HQN early in 2013.) Real life threw a few spanners in the works over the last few months so I had to go to ground to get the book done and in on deadline. Now I'm all fingers and toes crossed that my editor will like what I've done with the story. Eeek. *bighting nails*

I'll post a little bit about THE LIBERTINE (the 2nd in the Taskill witches' series, following on from THE HARLOT,) and how it turned out, in a few days when I've decompressed.

Meanwhile, I'm giving a shout out for some excellent reads I've enjoyed!

First up is the latest novel from Janine Ashbless, HEART OF FLAME. If you've read my blog before you've probably seen me raving about Janine, I love her work. This one is especially recommended if you enjoy fantasy reads set in ancient worlds, think Arabian Nights. It's a delight! Sorcery in ancient Arabia with romance elements, it's a real page turner and I gobbled the story up, loved every moment of it.

Jeremy Edwards is another author I always enjoy, not least for his marvellous sense of humour. In my opinion Jeremy is gifted at combining humour and erotic elements in a rollicking good story. No easy task. His latest novel, THE PLEASURE DIAL, is a real treat and it instantly zipped me out of my own head, when I wanted a break.

If you're looking for great spicey-hot shorter reads to download (the sort of naughty treat you can read during your lunchbreak or at bed time ;-} ) Portia Da Costa and Madelynne Ellis both have wicked new Spice Briefs out for February. Check them out here and here!

Happy reading!

Well, this doesn't happen very often...

...so I think I'll be cracking open a nice bottle of wine later, to celebrate!

I hope that all the readers who've picked up MINDING AMY recently will enjoy this story. It's one of my frothiest stories and I love it, so I hope you do too. Thanks for giving it a try!
