Thursday's Thirteen - Romancing Your Man

Yeah, we love our men and we love romance but they do see romance in a little different light from women. Here's a few things to do to romance your man, his way.

1. A love note on the pillow
2. A massage
3. Seductive kisses and caresses through the day
4. Whisper sexy words in his ear
5. Surprise him but making love to him in the car, pull him into the laundry room, or in the pool.
6. Check out a Kama Sutra book for a new position to try.
7. Wear a new piece of lingerie, maybe even under your clothes and let him see part of it.
8. Do a strip tease
9. Boost his masculinity a bit by jumping into his arms, forcing him to catch you. Then, give him a great big kiss.

10. Slip into the shower with him when he thinks your busy doing something else.
11. Surprise him by being naked when he least expects you to
12. In the heat of the moment, whisper in his ear that if he wants to grab a hold of your hair or give you a little spank, he is welcome to do so (only if he truly is, of course).
13. Together, figure out 20 things you can to with whipped cream.


Okay, now that I have whipped cream on my mind… I think I’ll have to collect some data on #13.

Thursday’s Thirteen - Best Body Parts to be Kissed

Okay, I promised I’d post the best places on the body to be kissed so here it is. Unfortunately, dear hubby is out of town so I didn’t get to have the fun of researching this project personally; I had to survey friends. Thanks to all for your honesty!

1. Lips
2. Eyelids
3. Neck
4. Inside of the elbow
5. Inside of the wrist
6. Palms
7. Fingertips
8. Breast
9. Belly
10. Inside the hip
11. Yes… there!
12. Inside the thigh
13. Lower back

I think Shoulders is good too. So maybe a kiss that begins at the nape of the neck and travels across the shoulders and down the back to the little dimple above the butt…(sigh)… should be counted as one kiss. Hmmm….?

For a book with some hot, steamy kisses in it
check out Tormented Soul, the second book in the
Soul Series.
Caution:
This erotic romance is so hot, reader may need hot pads to hold it.

The Soul Series - by Mary Quast

I'm a Guest Blogger

Today, I'm a guest blogger over on Naughty Girls Next Door.
I was a bit nervous. I'm a guest blogger virgin... they're my first.

*giggles*

I've been lecturing on keeping journals lately so I blogged about the birth of Painted Soul and the Soul Series. A simple result of not throwing a journal away. The journal I kept when I was 16 in England was the begining and inspiration for Painted Soul. Check it out!

Thursday's Thirteen - Really good places to be kissed

There is always time for a kiss but some places can be more fun and romantic.

1. In the shower or in the bathtub.
2. On the beach late at night when there is no one around.
3. In the rain on the hood of a car.
4. Sitting on a blanket on the roof on a warm night with the stars shining bright and the moon glowing.
5. In the kitchen because it can lead to many other delightful things.
6. In a warm cozy room in front of the fireplace.
7. Sitting on a motorcycle together watching the sunset.
8. On a swing on a porch.
9. Inside a tree house with candles burning.
10. Outside lying in the grass at night.
11. While swimming naked.

12. While taking a walk and holding hands.
13. Where ever you are when you are with that special person, that kiss will be amazing and wonderful!

I'll cover the best places to kiss on the body in another post. I need to collect more data for that one.

Today's Author Event

I will be at the Montrose Jennings Memorial Library all day today!

At 1:00 I'll do a little program on Journal Writing. Painted Soul was created from an excerpt in a journal I kept while spending a summer in England when I was 16!

I'll have copies of the Soul Series on hand to sell and sign.

Feel free to bring your journal for me to look at. I'd love to meet some budding new writers.

Sensual Food - Spice up your sex life

Did you know that some of the most familiar culinary spices are highly valued for their medicinal and aphrodisiac properties? For instance, Ginger, stimulates the circulation, and is a reputed aphrodisiac. Cinnamon excites sexual response in women. Other libido enhancers include aniseed, cloves, cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, nutmeg, pepper, and vanilla. Some spices combine nicely with milk and ice cream for ideal cooling to the body and inflaming the passions. Try to use pure, whole or organic spices and grind them yourself.

Try these two refreshing and stimulating shakes.

Cinnamon Girl
Blend chocolate ice cream with milk, real chocolate sauce and cinnamon essence for a sensational milkshake.

Venus and Mars
This delicious potion combines coriander and strawberries (representing Venus) with ginger and black pepper (representing Mars) to forge the union of heaven's most passionate couple. Stand the ground 1 tsp coriander and 1 tsp ginger in a cup of warm milk for five minutes. Refrigerate for an hour. Blend a handfull of strawberries with the spicy milk, strawberry ice cream and a dash of black pepper.

How you share these recipes with your love is totally up to you and your imagination.
