A Midsummer Night's Dream-Man Blog Hop

The cool night air caressing hot skin is sensual and erotic. Releasing the physical body from restricting clothes is letting the spirit of one's soul out to play.

Please enjoy this excerpt from Crow Magic.

“I am a man who is yours tonight, Lucy.” He walked toward her with arms out from his sides, exposing his nudity. “Draw on the power within you. Look at me. Overcome your apprehension of men. Have I not shown you gentleness?”
 

She nodded and approached him while tugging the strap of her sundress.
 

“Keep your dress on. Take it off when you are ready. This night is about you. Explore my body, learn from it, and take whatever you want. You are in control.”
 

He led her to the center of the blanket and faced her. She stood still with her fingertips resting on his waist. Cupping her face, he lost himself in her eyes.
 

“I am your instrument to use tonight. Open yourself up and delve into this opportunity I offer. I am yours to command. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
 

“I think so.” She considered his offer. “What do I do?”
 

“Follow your feminine intuition.” He couldn’t hold back a chuckle. “Touch me, tickle me, beat me, kiss me, bite me, lick me, suck me…whatever you want. Take whatever you need from me to strengthen you.”
 

In the moonlight, an endearing, innocent blush spread across her face. Amazing how a woman who lived her life in fear caused by abuse could be so naive of her own sensual power. If she knew her potential, she could bring him to his knees.
 

Please, bring me to my knees.

Thursday Thirteen – 13 Naughty Moves to Drive Him Wild

1.       Try a bit of bondage.  Being tied up means you are at the mercy of your partner’s urges, which can be exciting.  You can focus entirely on being pleasured since you’re not able to reciprocate.  Let yourself be his sexy toy.  Remind him that he’s in control and responsible for getting you off.

2.       Blindfolds and scarves.  Tie him up and place a soft blindfold over his eyes.  While he’s lying naked at your mercy, touch him softly with feathers, your fingers, your tongue, and tell him what you’re doing.

3.       Give him a peep show.  This can be done two different ways.  A. Masturbate alone but don’t let yourself climax.  Greet him naked; let him see the flush all over your body.  In a husky voice, describe to him what you were doing.  Or…B. Let him watch you masturbate and let him finish you off.

4.       Give him his own personal lap dance.  Touch yourself in all of yours and his favorite spots.  Some dirty dancing will not only make you feel sexy but it’ll make him hot as well.

5.       Manhandle him.  Surprise him with a hand job when he least expects it such as when he’s relaxing on the couch or on the phone.

6.       Have strange sex.  I don’t mean weird sex, but pretend you don’t know each other.  You know… role playing.  Set up a time to meet at a particular bar.  As you make your way to him, flirt with a few guys.  Introduce yourself; even make up a name and character you want to play.    Role playing can push both of you out of your comfort zone and possibly enjoy sensations and positions you wouldn’t normally try together.

7.       Play the innocent.  If you want to have more fun role playing, pretend one of you is innocent and is in need of sex lessons.  Prepare for a very X-Rated tutorial.

8.       New views and new angles.  Take the action to the living room couch.  Try standing-up sex in this semipublic room, it’ll feel a bit naughty.  Keep in mind this is the room where your parents and friends will be sitting.

9.       Give him the “Oh, my God” erotic view.  Start in a seated position on the couch, straddle him, and then place his hands on your hips to keep you secure.  Lean all the way back so your head is down by his feet.  You can put your hands on the floor for extra support, then rest your feet on the back of the couch.

10.   Continue exploring the various rooms in the house.  You will find you will be forced to accommodate your positions to different obstacles.

11.   Ambushing your guy.  Pounce on him when he gets out of the shower.  Nothing smells or tastes as nice as a clean man!  Or slip into the bathroom and strike a seductive pose in your birthday suit.  When he pulls aside the curtain, he’ll be surprised with the stunning scenery.

12.   Sexting.  Next time you go out to dinner tell him you left something in the car.  Once outside, text him that you need his help with something.  When he comes out, pull him into the car and go at it.  (You might want to be in a remote part of the parking lot.)

13.   Sexy talk.  Tell him how you feel during sex.  Verbalizing the sensation brings your attention to it, which reinforces the pleasure you’re experiencing.  “I’m coming” is a simple but magical phrase for a man to hear; he’s pleased he’s gotten you so aroused that you’re out of control.

 

Humpday Hottie - Devin from Dark Soul

Today is my middle son's 13th birthday and I honor him by featuring the image of a character he created. I often let my boys name characters in my books but in one book, Dark Soul, they managed to be in. My son, Devin, wanted his character "Devin" to be funny and dramatically theatrical so he choose Dero Goi from the band Oomph to be my visual.

Devin - drummer, vocals for Dark Cloud

Unfortunately, Dark Soul is only a work in progress at the moment.
DARK SOUL
the 4th book in the Soul Series.

 

          The reclusive leader of the band, Dark Cloud, is as mystifying and foreboding as his lyrics.  Trev Dillinger fights depression and refuses to sleep because of a reoccurring dream of a blonde woman with green eyes he’s had since childhood.  Even though his closest friends and band mates, Devin, Nick, and Nathan accept his strange behavior, the dreams turn to nightmares and he suffers a mental break down during a concert in Chicago.  Once he recovers, he hides behind his work but is continuously drawn back to the windy city.

            Kat Lewis is a leading illustrator in the world of fantasy.  Kat’s art has always been her escape from the dreams that torment her at night.  For years, she believed the dark man haunting her since childhood was her husband.  But after his accidental death, the dreams continued and became nightmares.

A strange event brings Kat and Trev together.  Kat is intimidated by Trev’s provocateur reputation but is drawn into his world and they learn of the shared dreams; wondering if they were soul mates in another life.  Not understanding what the visions mean, they turn to the matriarchs of their families who happen to be holding a dark secret from the past

With the help of friends and family, Trev and Kat travel to England to find answers and hopefully solve a murder that may or may not have happened.  Only then will they truly have peace and recognize the love forming between them as real.

           

The REAL Trevor, Devin & Nathan.

Blurb:

Ava has lived her entire life fighting for freedom against an oppressive government. When she falls for a man who stands on the opposite side of the line she’s drawn, all she’s worked for may vanish, including her future with a Regulator who she has no business loving.

Excerpt:

Seth slammed his hand into the gel pad, releasing the lock to the hanger that housed Ava’s ship. The steel blast door slid open and Ava whipped around, her back to an engine compartment where she’d been working. A smudge of something black streaked across one cheek, and her hair hung loose around her shoulders. She wore a red thermal shirt, tan canvas pants, and black boots that stopped just above her knees, looking every bit the smuggler he’d fantasized about for days.

“What are you doing here, Captain Reynolds?”

There wasn’t a good answer for it. Plain and simple, he needed her, wanted her, and he’d be damned if he held back now. He strode up to her, grabbed her wrist, and tugged her into his arms.

Her fingers laced into his hair, and she tipped her face up to look him in the eyes. “You didn’t answer my question.”

“Are you alone?”

“Yes, my crew is on leave.” Her gaze traveled to the hanger doors. “You shouldn’t be here.”

He watched the way her lips formed the words but heard little of what she said. Need pounded through him and only one thing would relieve it. Gods, he wanted her. “No.” No, he shouldn’t be. No, he shouldn’t kiss her. No, he wasn’t thinking about duty tonight. He dipped his head and captured her mouth the way he’d wanted to for the last three weeks, backing her against the forward drive. He tore at her shirt and the buckle on her aviator’s pants, desperate to touch her bare flesh, be inside her. His hands grabbed her bottom, and he lifted her from her feet and pressed her against the side of her ship. She wrapped her legs around his waist. With a gasp, her mouth opened to him. He thrust his tongue in and savored her flavor, needing more, starved for her.

Ava was everything opposite to the law he upheld, all he stood against, but it didn’t have to be that way. It wasn’t too late. He ran his hands up her shirt, cupping the bare breasts underneath. The pads of his thumbs grazed her nipples, and she arched into him, growling low in her throat.

He pulled his mouth away. “I need you now.”

“Take me inside the Avira.” Heat blazed through her eyes. “Or take me here. I don’t care, as long as you take me.”

HAPPY MONDAY

Sensual Saturday -wash away the dirt

Saturdays in the summer seem to be dedicated to work. Yard work, painting, cleaning, building...

 

When the day is over, jump into the shower to cleanse the dirt from the pores of bug spray covered skin.  But don't go in alone.

Invite your honey to join you for some sensual fun.

 

Take turns soaping and washing.

Remember how good it feels when someone else washes you hair?  OH, YEAH!

Friday - Fundamentals of Foreplay

 

 

1.    Fruit.  Sensual fruit such as strawberries, grapes and bananas may be easily found in your kitchen and can be a lot of fun to tease with.  Try dancing around your partner and feed him bits of fruit while teasing him with your body.

2.    Sensual food.  Whipping cream (see my 13 Things to Do with Whipping Cream).  Chocolate and other sensual foods.  (See my Sensual Food Post).

3.    A nice beverage.  Wine is always nice but a hot cup of coco or tea can be sensual in its own way especially in winter. Try a cup of spicy Masala Chai, or a tea containing yarrow, or better yet the aphrodisiac tea - Black Galingale.

4.    Candles.  Men have a tendency to prefer candles that smell like food – vanilla, orange spice, melon.  Women may prefer floral scents for romance.  Cluster candles on a reflective tray.  I like to mix the scents – Lavender, vanilla or orange spice, Hawaiian flower, white tea & ginger.  Visit a local candle shop and select candles together for a special evening.

5.    Sensual music.  What gets you in the mood?  Soft jazz for a romantic evening of slow love making?  Underground dance music for some creative adventuring?  Hard rock for some fierce pounding?  I suggest picking out the music in advance and being flexible to your mood at the time.  One night you might like soft jazz, the next you might choose something louder.

6.     Lingerie.  Silk boxers for him, g-string for her?  Silk slip?  Flannel pants and tight cotton tank?  Whatever you feel sexy in is what you should choose.  However, latest polls show men don’t like lots of lace and buttons/snaps.

7.    Sheets.  If you’re taking it to bed think of what feels good under you.  Don’t always think silk sheets are the best… flannel sheets are very cozy, especially in the northern regions. 

8.    Blankets.  If you visit my house, you’ll notice a variety of cozy, soft blankets on a blanket rack in the great room.  They aren’t just for making kids’ forts.  Ever try snuggling on a leather couch under a fleece blanket?  Try it!

9.    Lotions.  Keep ones that sensually inspire your mind and ones that can be licked off.

10. Feather.  Ever wonder why romance writers love writing plumes so much.  Heh, heh.  Next time you’re at the zoo, pick up an ostrich feather or visit you local sex shop for some top notch fun feathers.

11. Blindfold., silk scarves, hand cuffs.  Need I say anything more?

12. Love coupons.  Pick up a booklet of them or print them on the computer.  Hide a coupon in a special place for your honey to find.  A great teaser!

13. Romantic games.  There’s a wide variety out there.  A great way to add a little exploration into your love life.  Always remember, laughing in bed can be a wonderful foreplay move.

 

Thursday 13 - Date Ideas

I write for the 1 Night Stand series from Decadent Publishing. The characters don't have to worry too much about their first date, just the fact it's a blind date and sex is guaranteed. But let's hit reality for a moment. 

First dates can be incredibly tricky and nerve-wracking. It is therefore very important to establish in your own mind what you expect from the date beforehand. If possible, arrange to meet in a public place that you are familiar with, and do not forget to take your cell-phone, or a "back up plan" with a friend in case of an emergency.

If the first date goes well and you're onto the second and third dates the important thing to remember is to have fun and do not expect too much. After all, what is a first few dates are a fun way to get to know one another, and to explore the possibilities of developing a strong and lasting relationship?

Here are thirteen ideas for those dates in the beginning of a relationship.

 

 

1. Go out for dinner then a movie. Having dinner together lets you get to know them better while watching the movie together provides the perfect atmosphere to just get used to them without having to talk too much.

2. Go out to eat, sit and talk and give a small kiss goodnight.

3. Have a picnic at a lake under the moonlight.

4. Walk along the beach or in a park at night.  My honey & I used to enjoy walking in a ritzy area and pick out our dream homes and cars.

5. Have dinner, watch a movie and end the night by playing video games at a local arcade together.

6. Holding hands while walking in the park, getting to know each other.

7. Go out to eat, watch a movie, have a moonlight walk on the beach or through a park ending the evening with the perfect kiss.

8. Go out to dinner then spend time together at a coffee shop getting to know each other.

9. Getting to know each other in the back of a truck on a back road under a starry sky.

10. Laying by the fireplace with romantic music and candlelight getting to know each other.

11. Go out dancing together.

12. Visit an amusement park or county fair.

13. Sit on the porch sipping wine, sharing a snack and talking.

Humpday Hottie - Let's go swimming

In this heat everyone is heading to the pool or the beach.

 Safety if very important.

 

Monday Mojo - Counting Calories? Read this.

I weighed myself the other day and am now determined to loose a little weight and tighten up my fluff. I figured by walking every day and counting my calories will lead me back to my sexy curves. I joined an online group, MyFitnessPal.com. During a chat with friends we wondered if we could count sex as part of our exercise regimen.

Well.... here's some facts I found.

You burn 26 calories in a one minute kiss. MWHA!

 

A teaspoon of semen contains approximately 5 calories.

I guess I better skip the whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

 

 

Sex burns off an average of about 100 calories per session.

 

The key for high-calorie-burning sex is making it hot and making it last, say experts. You can also add a little moaning and sighing, says Kinzbach, which can help you burn an extra 18 to 30 calories. And try a position change for a better workout. “If you are on top, try moving your hips like a belly dancer; this feels great and will give you a workout,” she adds. “Also try a position where you squat on top of him and then bounce up and down. This is a great workout for your thighs and butt, and it can burn up to 207 calories in 30 minutes.” Perhaps the best way to maximize calorie-burning during sex is to make sure you orgasm. Experts estimate that women who orgasm during sex burn more calories during lovemaking than those who don’t.
