TEASER
He shifted his feet, forcing her legs wider apart, opening her to him. Pressing against her lower back with his hand, he urged her closer. When their bodies were touching from their hips to their chests, Cale leaned forward and nuzzled the purple streak of hair by her ear. His hand didn’t stop caressing her as he spoke.
“You on the pill?”
“No.”
“On anything else that might prevent me from planting my baby in your belly tonight?”
She shivered at his words, but mutely shook her head and looked at him with wide eyes.
“You want that?” Cale forced himself to ask. He wasn’t an asshole, he’d never do anything she didn’t want, but was relieved when she bit her lip and nodded her head.
“If you want to be a mom, I’ll make that happen for you. As many times as you want. One, two, five, sixteen. I don’t care. I’ve got the money to take care of you and as many babies as you’ll give me.”
“Cale.”
The one word said so much. It was a plea. And a question. And a declaration all at once.
He forced himself to take a step away from the woman he’d wanted the second he’d lain eyes on her. He stood before her, bare in both the physical and the emotional sense. He held out a hand toward her. “Let me make your dreams come true, princess.”

TEASER
She opened the door and almost gasped. If he’d looked handsome before, in his suit, he was wickedly attractive now in his formal tux that fit him effortlessly. His eyebrows raised and he murmured something in French as he stepped forward to kiss her on the cheek.
Startled, nervous and attracted, she twisted her head at the exact moment he bent forward to kiss her, and his lips ended up on her neck, sending shocks of arousal through her body. He steadied her with his hands, and his chuckle tickled her skin.
“Sorry,” she said, breathless. “I’m not used to hello kisses. I don’t know how they work.”
“You don’t know how kisses work?” He raised an eyebrow and smiled. “I’m appalled. I will make it one of my duties tonight,” and he lowered his voice and leaned his head in, “to teach you about it.”
Her eyes widened, imagining his lips on hers, and her face flushed.
“First lesson,” he said, running a finger across her cheekbone for a mere second. “You let the man kiss you first here. Stand still, please.” He pressed his lips to her left cheek, lingering for just a split second longer than she remembered seeing these kisses go on TV shows. “And then he kisses the other. Yes?”
He paused and looked into her eyes and smiled, and she nearly combusted. Then he bent in and kissed her other cheek, sending wild sparks into her entire body.
“And do I…” her voice was breathy. “Am I supposed to kiss you, too?”
A broad grin spread across his face. He cleared his throat. “Usually to avoid destroying their lipstick, the woman kisses the air next to the face.”
“Okay.” Her heart pounded so fast she could feel it in her wrists.
“So. We try it again. Come here.”
She widened her eyes, but he took her hands in his. “You look breathtaking, Maya.” He smiled, then leaned in and kissed one cheek softly, then the other. This time she stood still and didn’t jerk her neck, but her breath came faster with the second kiss. She was sure he could see her pulse in her neck, feel it in her skin.
“Perfect,” he murmured, touching her arm for a second. “You are a natural.” Then he added, “Il y a tant de choses dont je voudrais t’ensigner, et ce bisou est juste le commencement.”
“What was that?”
He chuckled. “I merely said that I am looking forward to tonight.”
“I somehow think it sounded more complicated. Doesn’t bisou mean kiss?”
“That it does.” He raised an eyebrow.
“And doesn’t ensigner mean teach?”
“You only require a little more tutoring, and your French will be on point, like your kissing. This way, please.” He touched the small of her back, and she gasped at the warmth, and the way arousal flooded her. “We will drive together. And hopefully, if all goes well, Erik will be there shortly with your friend.”
“You know, for the record, I am a very good kisser. When it comes to real kisses.”
“Are you?” He stopped walking and looked into her eyes.
She sucked in a breath at the feral look in his eye. A muscle twitched in his jaw, and for a second—one crazy second—she was sure he was going to…

Teaser
American Beauty drifted immediately to sleep. It was unbelievably adorable, her light sighs slipping through swollen lips, flushed face relaxed. I didn’t want to disturb her. I managed to remove the condom and toss it in the trash next the bed, and then I simply laid beside her watching.

Royally Fucked (Royally Mine boxset)
Prince Theo. Billionaire. Playboy. My new boss.
There’s an intensity about him, a hungry energy, some sort of powerful force field that would drag off my panties if they hadn’t already melted.
No wonder all these celebrities go to bed with him. No wonder porn stars star in his private sex tapes.
No wonder the board of his father’s company wants him gone.

“Let me get this straight. The queen of Sweden is summoning you to an audience, and you’re going to blow her off?” I step close to him. One more step and my boobs would brush his chest.
Charm him.
He shrugs.
“You’re not even interested in finding out why she wants to meet you?”
He dips his head, nuzzles my shoulder. “There are other things I’m interested in.” His beautiful lips brush my skin and set my body buzzing. “So uptight. You need a good orgasm. I can help with that.”
“Maybe later,” I say in a voice as brisk as I can make it, ignoring the fact that my libido has gone from zero to one hundred in three seconds.
“I’ll hold you to that,” Theo says, and the promise makes me shiver.
I clear my throat and press on. “Your uncle is sick. He might die, and that leaves you in the line for the throne. You’ll be crown prince.”
“I don’t want to be a prince,” he murmurs. His hot breath licks up my skin. “I’m already god.”
“You’re not a god.” I squeeze my arm between us, and push my glasses up my nose so I can give him a proper Mrs. Mavery glare. “You’re a male Paris Hilton.”
“Thank you,” he smirks.
“Cut it out,” I push at his chest. His rock hard, water slick chest that couldn’t be more perfect if it was carved by Michaelangelo. “This playboy act has to get old. Even I can tell you’re smarter than this.”

Personally, I am already drooling over Prince Theo, and I know you’re all going to love this royal bad boy too! Today is RELEASE DAY (three cheers again!) but if you hurry you can still get it for 99c this week. <3

“Spread wider,” he commanded.
With a nod, she acquiesced, inching her legs further apart. Her face was still flushed an adorable shade of pink.
Her sex was swollen and glistening, and he swiped two fingers up and down her slit, drawing her moisture out and over her plump nether lips. A shudder ran through her entire body and she clutched at the covers. The cutest little whimpers escaped her throat.
Her clit peeked out from her womanly folds, and he splayed her apart to better expose it. Then he lowered his mouth to lap at her exquisite nectar.
Christ Almighty. She tasted divine.
He moved his fingers to her core and pushed inside. At the same time, he traced his tongue lightly around her swollen nubbin, delighting in her tiny quivers and needy moans.
He pumped his digits in and out of her tightness, driving deep and increasing his speed with each thrust. Swirling his tongue directly over her clit, he created a steady circular motion that made her cry out and writhe beneath him.
Withdrawing his tongue for a moment, he said, “Come for me, Cora. Fucking come now.”
He resumed licking her clit and drove harder and faster into her center, until the sounds of wet thrusts filled the room. She tossed her head from side to side and clutched the covers tighter.
“Akeen, I—Oh God, Akeen!” She came apart, moaning loudly as she gyrated against his mouth. The walls of her pussy tightened around his thrusting fingers, her orgasm taking her under until, at last, she remained still and panting in the aftermath of her pleasure.
“Good girl,” he said, slowly removing his digits from her center. He sat back and stared at her, smiling at her when she met his eyes with a look of immense satisfaction. Watching her come—making her come—had been gratifying for him as well. But hearing her cry his name in the throes of her release, that had made his cock ache all the more.
He’d tasted her. He’d made her come.
Now it was time to fuck her.

Music Monday – The Power of Love
Today’s #MusicMonday is a little more mellow than usual, a soft and sweet song, but I just love Gabrielle Aplin’s voice in “The Power of Love” and there’s something about it that reminds me more of poetry than song lyrics (although that’s not unusual). This is a song to relax to, the video is lovely as well (scroll down and hit play). Then sip some tea, and just enjoy the emotion she threads into the lyrics. If you’ve got a romantic soul, I think you’ll love it (and if you’re like me and just appreciate good vocals, you’ll love it anyway).
Favorite Lyrics
Dreams are like angels,
they keep bad at bay.
Love is the light
scaring darkness away.
I am so in love with you.
Make love your goal.
The power of love,
a force from above,
cleaning my soul.
Flame on, burn desire,
love with tongues of fire,
purge the soul.
Make love your goal.
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw.
Keep the vampires from your door.
When the chips are down, I’ll be around,
with my undying, death-defying love for you.
Envy will hurt itself.
Let yourself be beautiful,
sparkling light, flowers, and pearls, and pretty girls.
Love is like an energy,
rushing in, rushing inside of me.
. . . [chorus]
This time we go sublime,
lovers entwined divine, divine.
Love is danger, love is pleasure,
love is pure, the only treasure.
I am so in love with you.
Make love your goal.
‘The Power of Love’ by Gabrielle Aplin

“Listen, lady, I don’t know who the hell you are, but I’ll ask again. Have I done something to offend you?”
She sailed past him, anxious to get her bags and hide in her room. “It doesn’t matter who I am. Thanks for the help with the light.” She hoped her brisk comment would send him on his way.
She wasn’t so lucky. She’d just gotten to her car when she felt his hands on her arms, spinning her around until her back was jammed against the window. He crowded her, stopping shy of actually touching her. He was luckily a good six inches taller than her, giving her the perfect excuse to stare at his chiseled chin instead of into his eyes as she tried to defuse the situation.
“Listen, I’m just tired, okay? I drove out from the city, had to work all day and now I need to get my stuff upstairs and unpacked, so I can plan out everything for tomorrow.” She stopped short of apologizing because—well—she wasn’t sorry.
Was it her imagination or was he leaning closer? She jumped when his index finger lightly touched her chin, lifting her face until she had no choice but to acknowledge him. Her breath caught. He was more handsome in person than in any of the thousands of pictures on the Internet. For the first time, she had an inkling of why so many otherwise intelligent women might lower themselves to be used by the guy and then thrown away. It was a good thing she was stronger than that.
“I’m Colt.”
“Duh.”
That made him smile which only made him more good-looking… virile… suave… She shook her head as if to clear the unwanted thoughts with a reboot.
“Now. Let’s start again. I’m Colton King, and you are?” His question hung in the air.
Oh for crying out loud, they’d be here together for six weeks. There was no way he wouldn’t figure out who she was. “I’m Harper Gardener. I’m the chef they hired to cook for the cast and crew for the next six weeks.”
It was a good thing her car was propping her up, because the hug he scooped her into had a way of making her knees weak.
“That was the best damn mushroom ravioli I’ve had. It was even better than Georgio’s in the Italian Village.”
Holy shit. What were the odds?
“Actually, I would argue that it was exactly like the dish from Georgio’s.”
“You’ve eaten there?”
“No, I got fired from there. It was my dish.”
“What? I won’t be able to get it any more when I’m in town?”
So typical, looking out for himself. “I’m so sorry my career’s demise will be an inconvenience for you.”
“Okay, I guess I deserved that one. Why the hell would you get fired? You have skills.”
“Apparently not the right ones.” When he waited expectantly for clarification on her cryptic answer, tears crept into her eyes as she added vulnerably, “George and I worked together… lived together. I thought we might even get married one day, but that was before he decided to dip his nib in the new girl. Suddenly, I’m out of a job. An apartment. So yeah, I’m a little angry at men in general right now.”
