#MySexySaturday ~ That Loving Feeling

 
Welcome to the 33nd week of My Sexy Saturday. 
  
Have you ever read about characters and wondered where their loving feelings have gone? Face it, we love characters coming back together after a fight, a long hiatus from each other or maybe it was a lifetime. We love seeing those characters getting their sexy back, remembering how it was to love someone. 


Here's a snip from Lost Time (erotic time-travel romance)

“What are ya doin’ to me?” he pleaded. “I feel like I know ya, lass. I want nuthin’ more than to kiss ya.”
 

“Do it,” she challenged him breathlessly.

Llach barely moved and his lips were on Hannah’s. He closed his eyes when she opened to him and took control of her mouth. As soon as he did, flashes of her naked, writhing beneath him, blinded him behind his closed lids. Glimpses of various beautiful body parts danced evocatively through his mind. Of her on top of him, kissing his chest. It was more than just wishing to see her like that. It was more like a memory.
 

Llachlan wrenched his mouth from hers. “Why do I know ya?” His chest heaved. “Why do I know that ya have a tattoo on the inside of your wrist?” His thumb stroked the soft skin there.
 

“The same reason that I know that you have one on your left bicep,” she answered, also breathing hard. She wrapped her hands around his upper arms, holding him tightly as he tensed at her words. “You know me.” She stared deeply into his eyes.
 

“How can I know that you have another just above your lovely left breast?” He imagined his lips closing over it and sucking softly, even though he could not remember exactly what the image depicted.
 

Hannah took hold of his chin. “Because you know me,” she whispered, as her lips closed over his. She went wild in his arms, pressing her lovely little body against his hard one. She didn’t kiss him timidly, like a guy expected a woman he’d just met to do. There was no exploration or awkwardness. She just went at him like a lover, driving him to forget to be gentle, driving the blackness in him to take over.
 

Her fingers battled with the clasp of his jeans as she palmed the length of his painful erection. He couldn’t stifle the growl that erupted from his chest.
 

He snaked his hand down her stomach, heading for the destination that his hungry cock wanted to be. He thumbed the button open and slid down the nylon zipper. “And how do I know that when I reach down here you will be as smooth as silk?” He slid his hand into her panties and groaned loudly when he found exactly what he knew would be there. “Oh God, it feels beautiful.” He slicked his fingers into the soft folds of her wonderfully wet cunt.He slipped a finger inside her. She gasped and clenched around him just as he’d known she would.
 

“I feel like I have already loved ya,” he murmured against her temple. “Not like my excitement for ya is new, but that I have already sunk myself into your sweet heat and I canna wait to get back there.”

Blurb:

Within this frame, his curse is time…

Hannah Keys thinks she's setting off on the trip of her dreams, but after one mishap after another—beginning with her best friend abandoning her in the airport and ending with the man of her dreams dead—she's renaming it the vacation from hell.

When Hannah Keys discovers a four-hundred-year-old portrait in Wales, she is intrigued and somewhat saddened by the handsome Highlander portrayed by the artist's masterful, lifelike strokes. But when she runs into the majorly hunky model for the painting—in the flesh, in the middle of the night—she learns first-hand all about masterful strokes when she shares a night of medieval passion with him.

Lockhart Munro has been cursed inside the portrait until he meets Hannah Keys. For four hundred years, no one has heard him or seen him, let alone touched him. The one woman who can do all these things may be the key to his long-awaited freedom.

But if Hannah sets Lockhart free from his prison, will she be cursed to spend the rest of her lifetime without him?

Or perhaps freeing Lockhart will be just the beginning…

#MySexySaturday You Found Me #historical #romance

#MSSWeek22

My Sexy Saturday ~ The rules are simple  
Post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words from a WIP or published work

With a little prompt from our wonderful MSS host Lynn, this week's My Sexy Saturday is how your characters fall in love. So I picked one of my favourites, Niall and Rose from You Found Me, a Scottish/British historical romance.


She looked toward the voice. Niall was by the window, holding the babe upright with the tiny blond head snuggled against his cheek. The rest of his little body fitted against Niall’s massive chest, held by his strong gentle hands.
She fell in love, right there and then, with the pair of them. Her heart pounded in her chest, her mind swirling. She could not live without them; they were hers. Her men. The pair of them looked so right together. Her son’s paleness against Niall’s darkness. But she knew in her heart it was all wrong. She must tell Niall the truth, she thought for the thousandth time. She owed it to him. He had given everything of himself and more. Honesty, acceptance, security, and his love, and how had she repaid him? With omission and silence.

As the writer, I fell in love with Niall long before I wrote this scene.  Sigh...
And Lynn, I apologize again for breaking the 7 rule! ;) 
Perhaps I should stop posting the rules, or ya know, obey them. :)

#MySexySaturday a Romantic Snip from Lost Time

This week for My Sexy Saturday I thought I'd share another extraction from my erotic time-travel romance novel Lost Time. So far, most of My Sexy Saturday posts have been down right sexy and steamy, in the throes of passion. But this week, I thought a little romance might be nice, Lock and Hannah style...

Excerpt:

He hovered near the door waiting for it to open. When it did, he took slow inventory of her blotchy cheeks. He smoothed his rough palm over her soft skin. “Please don’t be angry with me.”

“You made me feel the way that your family makes you feel. Things happened to me. Things I can’t explain. And whether you want to acknowledge it or not, what happened to me happened to you too, or we would not know the things that we know about each other.”

“I didn’t mean to make ya feel that way. I would just prefer not to discuss it in front of Malcolm. They don’t understand…”

“Neither do you. You deny it—this…what’s going on between us.”

“I may deny everythin’ else, that I can’t explain, but not that. We are the only thing that makes sense. To me, it feels right. It feels familiar. It feels like…everythin’,” he admitted.

Her eyes softened and she practically melted at his words, encouraging him to continue.

“This, whatever is happenin’, is what I’ve always been lookin’ for. I just never knew until now that I was missin’ it.” He brushed his lips over hers. “You make me crazed,” he whispered raggedly. “Everythin’ about ya. When I look at ya, when I catch your scent, when ya say my name, your smile. The things that I can see in your eyes that ya haven’t even admitted to yourself yet. Things I have not even discovered about ya, all these things call to me. I want to be a part of you.” He took her lips in another soul-searing kiss. “Let me be a part of you,” he said into her mouth. As much as she tried to blame it all on him, she was just as difficult to reach. In many ways, she was closed off to him. “Let me in,” he finished, and slid his tongue deep into her mouth. They might disagree about a great many things but in this one thing, they were in complete sync.

You Found Me #MySexySaturday

This Week My Sexy Saturday belongs to Rose and Niall from my historical romance You Found Me. 

Blurb: 

Injured, lost and alone, what more could a girl ask for than to be rescued by a roguish Scottish Laird and a proper English Duke?
 

Marcus Sunderland, reared in England, groomed from birth to be the Duke of Carlton, is everything a proper English gentleman should be. Unwaveringly loyal to his liege and childhood playmate Queen Elnor, devoted to his people and his country.
 

Laird Niall Lummisden of Clan Logan in Lomond, Scotland, is everything a roguish Scottish Laird should be. Dedicated to his clan. Friendly, easygoing, born with confident swagger, he is the complete antithesis to his English half-brother Marcus.
 

As the brothers travel to a royal engagement they discover a woman left for dead in the road, beaten beyond recognition. It is decreed by his Queen that Marcus must take the stranger back to his estate to recover from her injuries. The unidentified woman not only survives the vicious attack but, as she begins to heal and communicate, struggling to recall her life before they found her, both men are intrigued and attracted to her.
 

The Duke and the Laird have survived a lifetime of cultural and political
differences, but can the brothers survive her?


Excerpt:

That day she could not seem to keep her eyes from straying to Niall. It was like looking at him with new eyes.

She sat outside watching him chop wood. Her new plaid was so warm she sat surrounded by snow to watch him. The way Niall had wrapped it around left enough material to fashion a hood, but she found herself so overheated that she pushed it from her head. She wondered if it was the plaid or watching him work that was keeping her so warm.

Niall swung his axe and captured her attention again. The muscles in his shoulders bunched and strained against the thin layer of his shirt as he brought the axe down. He stopped to wipe his brow, working up a sweat even in the cold, his breath coming out in white clouds. He leaned the axe against the stump and proceeded to remove his shirt.

In all the months they had been together she had never seen him without his shirt. She knew he was well built by the feel of him, but now, with nothing to obscure the view, Rose drank him in.

Niall took the axe back into his hands, planting his well-muscled legs wide. He swung the blade in one graceful, powerful motion, his biceps bulging and straining as the blade hurtled toward the stump, sending pieces of bark flying.

Niall took a deep breath as he wound up for another blow, his thick powerful chest flexing as the veins in his neck corded with exertion, his abdomen rippling as he moved.
 

Rose noticed and followed the fading tan line around his waistband that disappeared into his snug-fitting trews. Her mouth went dry as she continued to watch him work.

The Devil Take You #MySexySaturday

This week My Sexy Saturday belongs to Gard Marschand and Braelynn Galbraith and an excerpt from my second historical romance with MuseItUp Publishing, The Devil Take You. 
(and again, for the sake of continuity, the excerpt contains more than 7 paragraphs—but only a couple)

Blurb:

Scotland—1307—During the Scottish Wars of Independence

Gard Marschand will stop at nothing in his pursuit to regain what is lost. Concealing his true identity, he will associate with his enemies, kill his own countrymen, even sell his soul to the devil if all else fails. He will lie, cheat, steal, rape and siege his way across two countries gaining power and reputation in his malevolent wake. His determination all consuming, until King Edward commands Gard to lay siege on Ross-shire holding, where Braelynn Galbraith obliterates his single-minded purpose.

Braelynn Galbraith wants peace for her beloved Scotland, marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Callum, and a house full of children. In that order. But evil incarnate in the form of Gard Marschand, turns her life inside out and destroys all hope of a decent marriage.


Can Gard abandon his deep-seated need of revenge for a love that might just save his soul, or will he succumb to the demons that hound him and surrender to the devil within?

Excerpt: Gard gives Brae a lesson in wielding a dirk for her own protection—especially against him

Brae wrapped her hand around the handle of the dirk aiming for his throat, pausing as she felt resistance from his skin. It was his turn to still.

“Very good,” he murmured wickedly. His dark eyes glittered as he looked up at her from her exposed breasts. She watched as they rose and fell very near his full lips. If she’d gained the upper hand, why did she still feel like he had all the power?

“Are ya willin’ ta use it, Brae? Will ya end my life ta save yer own?” His obsidian orbs glittered with eagerness.

“Ya arena threatenin’ me life.”

“But I am threatenin’ yor person. Ya wouldna survive this, Braelynn. Ye are too delicate ta come back from someone invadin’ yor body wit’ force.”

“Ye have already done evrathin’ but ta me.”

“Tha’s it, be angry. Use yor anger. Draw strength from it.” His eyes glittered again, the black shining like onyx and she knew he was up to something else. He kept his eyes on hers. With his tongue he slowly licked her nipple. Her lips parted as the fear left her and that strange tingle only he could create began again. The nerve endings in her breasts now somehow connected much lower, where his hardness pressed against her firmly. She should be outraged, scandalized by his actions. But the sensations unleashed, unexpectedly good, left her wanting more.

“Stop me, Brae,” he whispered, his warm breath spreading chills over her. To her utter shame her nipple hardened. The tip of his tongue circled it, slow and gentle, his eyes never leaving hers. “Caisg mi,” he repeated before his lips closed around the nub. His eyes closed as he groaned, shifting his body between her legs. If he honestly wanted her to stop him, he should not speak to her in Gaelic for it only added to his draw for her. She dropped the dirk shifting her fingers into his hair. Her body relaxed under him. God forgive her, she didn’t want to stop him.

He laved her flesh, his hand coming to rest on her other breast, as he continued to rock against her. Brae closed her eyes as she let the sensation take her away.



I hope you enjoyed this little taste of The Devil Take You. Continue hopping and sample excerpts from the fantastic authors in the list below.

For #MySexySaturday Some Steamy 'Lost Time'


This week My Sexy Saturday belongs to  
Lost Time, an erotic time-travel romance 




Blurb:

Within this frame, his curse is time…

Hannah Keys thinks she’s setting off on the trip of her dreams, but after one mishap after another—beginning with her best friend abandoning her in the airport and ending with the man of her dreams dead—she’s renaming it the vacation from hell.

When Hannah Keys discovers a four-hundred-year-old portrait in Wales, she is intrigued and somewhat saddened by the handsome Highlander portrayed by the artist’s masterful, lifelike strokes. But when she runs into the majorly hunky model for the painting—in the flesh, in the middle of the night—she learns first-hand all about masterful strokes when she shares a night of medieval passion with him.

Lockhart Munro has been cursed inside the portrait until he meets Hannah Keys. For four hundred years, no one has heard him or seen him, let alone touched him. The one woman who can do all these things may be the key to his long-awaited freedom.

But if Hannah sets Lockhart free from his prison, will she be cursed to spend the rest of her lifetime without him?
 
Or perhaps freeing Lockhart will be just the beginning…

Excerpt: 

Llachlan undid the top button of his jeans and slid the zipper down while backing his way towards the bathroom. Hannah swallowed hard when his jeans gaped at the waist, exposing his cut hips, giving her the impression that the denim could fall at any moment. She tried to will it with her mind. She wondered what was holding them up when her gaze travelled lower to the impressive bulge straining temptingly against his shorts.

"Hannah! Are you even listening to me?" Cassie demanded Hannah's attention from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah," she answered weakly, her mouth suddenly dry.

He made it to the bathroom door then reached behind his head with one hand to pull the neck of his tight-fitting T-shirt over his head, ruffling his dark hair, making Hannah’s fingers itch to smooth it down. He dragged the shirt the rest of the way down his arms and bared his powerfully built chest. He was even more sculpted than she remembered, most likely from all the construction. He tossed the tee in her direction and grinned cockily at the look on her face, bringing out the dimple in his cheek.

"Tell me where you are. I just looked in my purse and that card is gone, Hannah. Give me the address. Now!"

Llachlan turned and pushed his jeans down over his hips, giving her the full view of his toned ass before he disappeared, leaving the door invitingly ajar. Hannah heard the spray of water.

"Cass, I gotta go!" she said. After quickly ending the call, she sprinted for the open door.
