Excerpt – Spicy

“Mom wants to talk to you and Julio.”

“I expected that, but thought she’d wait until morning.” Herk explained.

“It is morning, early morning.” Pru grinned as she teased him. Still dark outside, dawn would come soon.

That was alright. If she wasn’t upset, he wouldn’t get upset either. He got up digging around for his pants then pulling his phone out of the pocket it was in. Julio would receive the text he sent and come or not. Now he searched for her bathroom. “Want to help me shower?”

Pru snorted. “Just say shower sex that will get you a better answer.”

“Shower sex?”

“I’m in.”

“No, I’ll be in.” He chuckled. Pru was a lot of fun.

They were both already naked so he turned the water on hot and jumped in. Pru followed him in and he pressed her against the shower wall. Water rolled over them as he kissed her passionately and felt her body slide against him. Herk pulled her up and she wrapped her legs around his hips as he slid into her. Need fired him as he pumped in hard and fast.

Herk slammed in and out. His passion rose to where he was fighting for control. Her scent washed over him pushing him closer to his release. He felt a tingle running down his back to his tailbone. The buzz let him know he didn’t have long before he blew. Swiveling his hips, he tried to hit her hot spots. It must have worked because her channel tightened around him.

Pru made little sounds of encouragement as her channel grasped him. When she finally exploded, he was right behind her. He roared as his seed erupted from him. They smacked together the sounds echoing through the room until they both calmed and stopped.

“We’d best wash up so we can get dressed.” Pru suggested.

Under the Mistletoe by Amy Lee Burgess

Eyes dark with brimming anger Orlando snarled, “What the hell is going on? What kind of magic is this? I hate witches. This is their doing, isn’t it?”

“We stepped under the mistletoe.” I gazed upward at a bright green sprig of leaves and red berries. “It activated a shield that will last for an hour.”

Orlando’s face suffused with red. “Are you saying I have to spend an hour with you? With nothing but a padded bench for furniture? Nothing to drink or eat? Nothing to do?”

“I think the idea is to be romantic,” I said.

The snort that burst from him was worthy of a dragon’s lungs. “Still harboring feelings for me, I take it, Emily?”

“Go screw yourself, Orlando!” I glared at him. “In the case of people trapped beneath the mistletoe who aren’t attracted to each other, like us for vivid example, we’re supposed to talk. Marley says conversation opens doors. Communication is the first step toward understanding.”

“Understanding what?” Orlando looked down his attractive nose at me. “That we despise each other and have nothing in common? We don’t need sixty minutes in a prison to establish that.”

Through the Blizzard by Dominique Eastwick

Throwing the heavy oak door open, he glared. “What the hell do you want?”

Teeth chattering and standing naked before him, she shivered. “Heat would be nice.”

“I have a good mind to tell you to fuck off,” he snarled at her between gritted teeth.

“It-it-it’s, really co-co-cold.”

No matter how much bile he had built within him for this woman, he could not in good conscience let another shifter freeze. He stepped to the side .“Better to have you in than all my heat out.”

“Thank y-y-y-you.”

“Where are your clothes?” He led her into library where the fire was roaring. He would do anything not to look at her body, waging an inner battle with his leopard as it screamed for him to claim her. “I can’t believe you would be stupid enough to come up this way without a sack.” They always carried a set of clothes in their mouth when making any long trip where they didn’t have supplies stashed.

“I dropped it over a cliff some ways back.”

“Of course, you did. You must be the only snow leopard unable to scale a mountain,” he muttered then cursed as she crouched before the fire giving him a great view of her backside. “Don’t go anywhere.”

“Not likely with this fire here.” She smiled at him then as their eyes met and the chill had her smile faltering.

What a Scottish Shifter Wants by Jennifer Hilt

We lay dozing, listening to the snow flakes falling down the chimney with a sizzle. My mind returned to the conversation I’d started before. “About the Boy Scouts, they have a motto—‘always be prepared’. I never guessed a virgin would be equipped with birth control out here.”

“I’m not on any birth control,” Briana said.

I loved the feel of her nipple between my fingers and against my tongue. “What?” I stopped. “You said you were on birth control.”

“No.” Briana leaned forward, encouraging me to continue. Her breasts brushed my lips. She kissed my brow. “I said don’t worry about it.’

“You’re not on birth control.” My blood drummed in my ears.

She nodded. Cheerfully.

“I’ve fucked you at least a half dozen times.”

Briana slid out of bed. “That’s a conservative estimate.” She gathered her long hair back, braiding it as she stood by the side of the bed. “I’m going to melt some ice for a bath. Care to join me?”

My hand shot out, grabbing her wrist. “What’s going on?”

She glanced down at my hand on her wrist. She raised her eyebrows. “Why are you angry?”

“What if you become pregnant?”

“I hope I’m pregnant. All my sisters have had one child by now except me.” She easily removed my hand from her arm. “I didn’t know about Boy Scouts. You didn’t know Amazons don’t need men to raise their children. It’s funny what we don’t know about each other.” She kissed my cheek once her braid was finished. Briana padded to the kitchen without looking back.

I stared at her shapely retreating backside. “Hilarious,” I commented but no one but me was around to hear it.

Blizzard Bound by Rosalie Redd

The strike of a match against stone broke the silence. A warm crackle started in the hearth.

Aramond rose, turning to face her. The flame’s soft glow reflected in his eyes, and a smile curled his lip. He held out his arms. “Come, let me hold you.”

Danae stepped into his embrace, and he wrapped his strong arms around her waist, tugging her close. His familiar scent of pine and fresh rain filled her lungs, reminding her of how much she loved him. “I don’t want you to go. The storm, I’m worried that—”

“Shh…” He placed his index finger over her lips, letting it linger there for a long moment. His eyes flashed that amber-red she’d once feared but grew to love. “I’ll return as soon as I can. Nothing can keep me from you, my love. You know that, don’t you?”

She nodded, and he trailed his fingers along her jawline until he cradled her head in his palm. With a tenderness she’d fallen for so long ago, he brought his lips to hers, his passion evident in the intensity of his kiss.

She mewled under his onslaught, scraping her nails through his hair and along his scalp.

A deep, possessive growl reverberated in his chest. After a long moment, he broke the kiss. “That will have to tide us both over until I return.”

She giggled, loving his sense of play, despite the worry lingering in the back of her mind. “I’ll hold you to that.”

A twinkle sparked through his eyes. “I hope you do.”

All I want for Christmas by Bethany Shaw

“So you’ve been working for Astraea for nearly a thousand years?”

Surely he’d paid his debt by now. When would he be free? Was it even possible or was she setting herself up for heartache? If he was immortal, they had a few years, maybe, until they couldn’t be together anymore. Eventually she’d keep aging and he wouldn’t be interested in her anymore. What kind of a relationship could they have?

“I have, but I think I want to ask Astraea to release me from my duties.” He leaned forward and lightly pressed his lips to hers. “I’ve fallen for you these past few months, Cassidy. I can’t get you out of my mind. When I saw those men hurting you, I lost it.”

“I’m falling for you, too,” she admitted. “Do you really think she’ll release you?”

Santiago grinned at her. “I do. Aric is waiting for a replacement, but he’s been released. Daire is already free. For the first time in over a thousand years he is mortal. There is hope for us.”

“Good.” She hadn’t realized how much she needed that answer until he said it. They had a chance to be happy together. She closed the distance between them.

Santiago didn’t need any more encouragement. He parted his lips and flicked his tongue over hers. His kiss sent heat scorching through her.

She gasped as his hands tiptoed down her arms to rest on her hips. The past six months he’d been the star in her dreams and now this was really going to happen. How had she gotten so lucky?

A Very Foxy Christmas by Melissa Snark

The door to the suite swung open. Hannah thrust out her hand, feeling her way along the wallpapered hall until she found the rocker switch. Once she depressed it, recessed lighting filled the room, revealing a king-sized bed. The furnishings were nice—solid four-star quality—a far cry from the band’s usual sketchy lodgings.

The enormous red-and-gold-wrapped Christmas gift in front of the television really grabbed the eye. The staff had placed it exactly as she’d instructed—their gratuity would reflect her appreciation.

Hannah strode forward and dropped her luggage in front of the closet. Silver entered behind her and set his own bags down beside hers. The door eased shut on its soft-close hinge behind them. He passed her, naturally drawn straight to the present.

“What’s this?” Silver asked. As he got closer, he slowed his approach to a cautious creep. His wariness brought a smile to Hannah’s lips. You could lead the coyote to water, but he still suspected the pond was poisoned.

“I don’t know. It’s a mystery to me.” Hannah crossed her arms over her chest, guarding against fear. What if he didn’t like it? But oh, that was stupid. He’d love it.

“It’s pretty big.” Silver cast a glance over his shoulder. His sly smile told her that he’d figured it out. He wrapped both hands about the gift—a rectangular package that came to his mid-chest. “You finally got me that hedge trimmer I’ve always wanted, didn’t you?”

“Yup, you guessed it. That’s it exactly.” She tipped her chin.

“I knew it.” He snickered. “Do I have time to open it?”

Centaur’s Prize by Catherine Banks

The centaur’s prized possession was lost and as the guard on duty that night, all blame is placed on Lysander. For punishment, they exiled him to the human’s world, away from his herd and the only life he had known. The only way he can get back to Olympus is to find the lost item. A feat made much more difficult when a gorgeous, tall, and leggy blonde trots into his life.

Mendra is the last of her kind, a Pegasus with the ability to shift into human form or equine form. Her mother told her wild tales about lands with centaurs, satyrs, Gods, and heroes, but she never believed them. Until she met a man like her, a man who could shift into equine form and tells her similar stories. He asks for her help finding a lost item, so he can return to Olympus and his herd. She wants to help him, but she’s afraid to lose the one person who makes her feel like she’s home.

Lysander convinces Mendra to help him, but as they search for the lost item, he isn’t so certain he wants to return home. Life with the humans is so much different than Olympus and his heart aches at the thought of leaving Mendra behind, alone in a world without a herd of her own. Will his arrow fly true, or will they lose more than they ever imagined?

Scorpio

Dragon Glass by Kathryn M Hearst

Lord of House Scorpio, Zale Argyris is a man who rules his people and his emotions. Few would guess that beneath his calm, cool exterior are wounds as deep as the ocean. After an encounter with a female dragon leaves him injured, he suspects the fates do in fact have a twisted sense of humor—the rogue dragon is his mate.

Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Mericela Christou has lived on borrowed time since childhood. When a man washes up on her beach, she’s caught between following doctor’s orders and spending one night behaving like a normal woman—not that normal women rescue sexy, castaway billionaires.

The tentative peace of the four dragon races is threatened when a new power rises…and Meri must decide between playing it safe or risking everything for her future—a future where she could lose more than her heart.

Excerpt (Spicy)

Zale closed the distance. He curled his fingers through her dark hair and forced her to look at him. “What other lies have you told me?”

Her eyes widened and her lips parted.

His gaze settled over her mouth. He wondered if her lips tasted as bitter as her betrayal.

Meri raised her hand to his face. She hesitated, her fingers hovering a few millimeters from his jaw.

Zale resisted the urge to release her. For the first time, he could scent her emotions. Conflict peppered every fiber of the devious woman. Longing mixed with disgust, lust mixed with repulsion, trust mixed with misgiving. Love…and hate. “You do have feelings for me.”

“I don’t understand why you’re angry, or what’s happening. But I feel like I’ve known you my entire life.” Meri brushed her fingertips across his chin, as though she’d aimed for his lips but had either missed her mark or lost her nerve. “I think I’m falling in love with you.”

A wave of heat crested inside him, sending his dragon spiralling toward an unknown shore. One touch, sweet words, and the beautiful betrayer had him under her spell again. Zale’s dragon threw his head back and roared.

The Pisces dragon buried inside her answered his call.

Zale’s knees buckled, but she kept him upright.

“You’re mine.” He used her hair to pull and twist her head until her lips parted beneath his. Zale lowered his face and claimed her mouth. There was nothing soft or gentle in the exchange. No pretty words. No longing looks. No thought other than she belonged to him.

Meri made a sound deep in her throat, half moan, half-growl. She tensed, yet she pressed her chest to his. She pushed his shoulder with one hand, while the other pressed into his back.

Zale ran his tongue across the seam of her lips, but she refused him entry. He took her chin between his forefinger and thumb, pressing down until she opened to him. Once he’d penetrated her mouth, waves of heat swirled inside him.

Though Zale dominated the kiss, Meri fought to gain ground. She slid her tongue past his lips, once, twice, and retreated. He eased back to change position, but she refused to yield. The woman bit his lower lip until he moaned for mercy.

Zale scented the approaching dragons before someone knocked.

Meri pulled back, blinking several times as though waking.

“Not now!” Zale’s graveled voice filled the room.
