Shadow's Embrace
By Tielle St. Clare

His fingers brushed his cock and he groaned. Fuck, he’d been hard since…well, since he’d woken up in that cave. The vague memory of Rebel pressing against him, a hot hand on his dick, teased him.

And he had to talk to Kalen. Had to explain.

Explain what? The memory of what had happened didn’t make any sense. He remembered pain and cold. Beyond that, he needed Rebel to fill in the blanks.

But he couldn’t face her like this.

He closed his eyes and wrapped his fingers around his cock. The heat from the shower seemed to pool in his core and the shaft grew longer, fuck, even harder. He started to pull and push, feeling the skin slide easily against his fingers.

Images flickered through his head, like a movie montage. He tried to grab onto one—the sexy picture of Kalen flat on her back, legs spread, her fingers sliding in and out of her cunt—but they passed too quickly, shifting and changing, always sexual. Kalen. Rebel. The two bodies merged and separated. Kalen’s mouth on his cock, Rebel, hot behind him, his erection rubbing against Brennan’s ass. His hand replacing Kalen’s mouth on his cock. Rebel’s voice. “Not stopping. Want to feel you come, babe.”

Brennan squeezed his cock and thrust into the tight grip. Rebel’s voice rang through his head blended with the delicious memories of Kalen, the sexual groans and the way she fucked him, her pussy clutching his dick as he filled her. The two memories combined in his brain until he couldn’t distinguish one from the next.

Shadow's Embrace Excerpt (X-rating...did you expect anything less?)

Shadow's Embrace comes out September 1 from Ellora's Cave. Here's just a taste.

Scene set: Brennan and Kalen have come home to find an old friend (Rebel) of Kalen's on her couch--a half-dress, very buff friend--and Brennan's feeling a little jealous. He takes Kalen upstairs to stake his claim.

“Pretty little girls should be careful how they tease.” He kept his words formal, just a hint of the schoolmaster in his tone.

She giggled. “But it’s fun.” She bent her legs and placed her feet against his ribs. Slowly she slid them back, drawing him closer, until her ankles crossed behind him. He didn’t fight her subtle attempt to pull him near. He lowered his hips and pressed his cock against her pussy. The thin layer of her panties barely muted the heat. He ground against her, watching her eyes glaze over, feeling the dig of her heels into his back.

He loved it when she was in this mood. Slow and sexy was good but when Kalen was like this, she wanted to fuck, hard and long. And he was just mad enough to give it to her.

The image of her staring at Rebel’s body—her stunned, sexually charged gulp—made his jaw ache. She belonged to him. And no long-haired bad boy from her past was going to take her away.

He looked into her eyes. His own reflection glowed back at him. The tightness in his chest relaxed. Here in this bed she was focused solely on him.

And he was going to make sure it stayed that way.

He rocked his hips in a circle, pushing almost too hard against her pussy. Keeping the slow rhythm going, he reached out and picked up her right hand, the one she’d had between her legs, fucking that pretty little cunt that belonged to him.

He lifted her hand to his mouth. His eyes captured hers, holding her gaze as he licked across her palm and slowly up her fingers. Faint traces of her pussy juices clung to her skin and teased his tongue. She watched, her breathing getting deeper as he bit the tip of her finger. Her hips wiggled and she pressed harder against his erection. The silent plea for his cock was sweet but not enough.

He wanted more than silent begging. He wanted her out of her mind, needing him, consumed by him.

He piked his hips back, breaking the grip of her legs. The sudden withdrawal of his cock seemed to shock her. Her eyes grew wide and she reached for him. He shook his head and pulled back. He wasn’t going far but he wasn’t going to give her what she wanted. Not just yet.

“Brennan—”

“That’s it, baby,” he said as he hooked his thumbs into the waistband of her red panties. He dragged them down over her round ass, pulling the elastic tight so she felt it burn across her skin. She might appear like a delicate flower but she liked a little pain, craved it. Masculine pride swelled in his chest. He was pretty damn sure he was the only one who knew that. She arched into the stinging caress.

He bent down, leaving her thighs trapped together by the silk, and nipped her lower lip, not staying long enough to make it a real kiss. “I like hearing my name on those pretty lips.” He slid the panties the rest of the way down. He thought he heard a bit of the silk tear but he ignored the sound. He’d buy her another pair.

He tossed the panties over his shoulder. “Begging me to fuck you.”

Her chin lifted. Defiance mixed with hunger in her eyes. His cock got even harder, pressing up, straining to be inside her. Fuck, he loved her. She was the perfect mix of demure and slutty, submissive and defiant.

“I wasn’t begging.”

The edge of his mouth pulled up in a smile.

“You will be.”

Marvin and The Three Bears (from Ellora's Cave)

A scene in which Marvin faces Mama Bear...

Taking a deep breath, Marvin opened the door and stepped into the hallway.

Lissa waited at the top of the stairs, her fingers tapping a hole into the wood banister. When she saw Marvin, she straightened and began the short walk toward him. The seductive sway of her hips and breasts captivated him, holding him steady until she was inches in front of him.

She tipped her head back and looked up at him, her ruby red lips opening, giving him the perfect image of her lips wrapped around his cock.

But somehow he didn’t think she was going to be quite as generous as Jeremy had been.

“My turn.”

Marvin found himself unable to respond.

The edges of her mouth kicked up in an arrogant smile that rippled through his chest and sank into his groin. Never had a woman looked at him like that—wicked, sexual, powerful. Every sensation seemed to be a new caress to his cock.

He had a fuzzy flash of the Fairy Godmothers. Frumpy, grim, overworked. They all viewed him as a necessary evil—the one who assigned them tales and kept things in line. But never had they looked at him like he was a treat. Something to be savored. Tormented…just a little…just enough.

His chest seized up. With just one look she’d made his cock hard.

And being that he’d just discovered how deliciously painful that could be, how much he ached for release, he really had no choice when she turned and walked away…well, it was really more of a stroll, with slow, swinging hips and the potential for hot sex rolling off her back.

There was really nothing he could do. Nothing…except follow.

She opened her bedroom door and led the way. She stopped at the foot of the bed and looked at him, her eyes commanding his attention.

Forcing air into his lungs, he took a step forward.

Once he made that first step, his body took control and he followed.

He stepped into the bedroom. The bedspread had been straightened after his frantic attempt at dishevelment. All that remained were crisp corners.

And an array of tools. Objects. Toys. Implements. It all depended on how one viewed such things.

The band around his chest pulled tighter as he saw the “implements” displayed at the foot of the bed. A crop, a paddle and a short, cylindrical object. Butt plug. Even without much modern knowledge of the Real World he recognized the device. And thanks to Marlena and her lovers, he knew how it was used.

“Oh my.”

Fairy Dust Excerpt & Contest!

Marvin and the Three Bears comes out May 19...it's the sizzling sequel to Fairy Dust. To get you in the mood, here's a little excerpt from Fairy Dust. Marlena is a Fairy Godmother who has added a Hot Sex Additive to her Happily Ever After dust. In this scene, her boss is not happy with her efforts.

Comment on this post and you'll be entered to win an advance copy of Marvin and The Three Bears!

Fairy Dust Excerpt

“Marlena, this is exactly what I’m here to discuss.” Martin waved his hand toward the looking glass. “Our fairy tales end with a perfect kiss. They’ve always ended with a perfect kiss. That’s what tells the reader that the Happily Ever After is assured.”

“Well, yes, and I’ve done that. They kissed.” She pointed to the open book. “See?”

“Yes, the story is supposed to end there. They aren’t supposed to have a secret life once the book is closed.”

“But—“

“Your new formula has wreaked havoc in Fairy Tale Land.”

His condemning tone made the hairs on the back of Marlena’s neck stand straight up. She didn’t understand how a little sex could be described as “wreaking havoc.” Besides, she’d worked on hard on her formula. And she’d seen her successes. She checked in occasionally with past charges to ensure that they were getting their Happily Ever After. It wasn’t easy. Most of them were surprised at how hard being happy with a mate was, but the hot sex really seemed to help when times where stressful.

“I haven’t received any complaints from my charges.”

“How could you? They are too busy having sex to complain.”

Marlena nodded, barely hearing his words. She was much more fascinated that he could actually speak with his teeth clenched so tightly together.

“It’s bad enough when they are romantic tales but two days go, you poured some on Hansel and Gretel.”

Hansel and Gretel? Marlena bit her lower lip. It had been six months since she’d covered a Hansel and Gretel story. Oh wait, there had been one. She’d been walking by, having taken a sample of her HEA Fairy Dust to show one of the other Godmothers and she’d peeked in. Some of her dust must have spilt at just the wrong time.

“Oops?”

Martin’s face turned a most unattractive red. “Oops?”

“Did something happen?”

“Hansel went from a sweet, twelve year old boy to a twenty-five year old stud.”

“That’s bad?”

“We can’t get him off the witch!”

Marlena pulled back, allowing her confusion to show on her face.

“The witch? That doesn’t seem a like a good match.”

Marvin leaned forward and said in a low voice, “she turned from an old crone to a really hot forty year old.” He offered a weak smile. “It’s a good thing that house is made of gingerbread or they’d have starved by now.”

“Oh.” Marlena felt her eyes widen. She might have to check that out. Research purposes and all. “What happened to Gretel?”

Martin folded his arms across his narrow chest, the glower intensifying on his face.

“She’s twenty-two and hanging out in bars, having one night stands with the woodsmen from Little Red Riding Hood.”

Marlena winced but waved her hand, dismissing the concern. “Young women do that. She’ll grow out of it.”

“She’s supposed to be a child who tricks an old witch into an oven,” Martin snapped.

“Yes, but truly, is that a happy ending? For anyone?”

New Cover! Release Date!

Marvin and The Three Bears (sequel to Fairy Dust) is coming May 19, 2010. The cover is below...isn't it yummy?

Marvin and the Three Bears
When a novice Fairy Godmother accidentally drops some sexed-up Happily Ever After Fairy Dust on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Marvin—second in command in Fairy Tale Land—jumps in to save the tale.

Taking over for Goldilocks should be simple, right? All he has to do is eat the porridge, sit on the chair and sleep in the bed. And when the Three Bears return home, run screaming from the house.

But the Fairy Dust has changed things…including the Three Bears. They’ve turned human. Baby Bear is no baby. Mama wears black leather and wields a wicked paddle. And Papa Bear? Oh my…he’s going to make sure Marvin pays for the damage he’s done, inch by luscious inch.

Excerpt 2: By Daylight Come

By Daylight Come is available April 5 from Ellora's Cave. I've got two excerpts posted. One more adult than the other:)

Enjoy!
Tielle

Tina listened to her nieces giggling as she walked up the stairs to the attic. It was almost time for their parents to come get them after their evening with “Aunt-T”. About once a month, Tina took the girls for the evening so her sister and her husband could be alone. She usually tried to do it on the weekends but a Thursday night worked as well. Only one more day of work before the weekend.

“Hey guys, it’s almost time to go.”

“Wait. Aunt-T, you’ve got to see this.”

Katrina, the oldest, lifted a heavy leather-bound book from her lap. Tina had never seen it before but the attic held treasures from generations past and no one really knew what was up here.

“What did you find, sweetie?”

“It’s a book of magic,” Elena announced, her eyes wide and filled with wonder.

“Magic? I didn’t know there were any magic books up here.”

Her crazy great-aunt Hilda had owned the cabin/house in the woods for thirty years. Upon her death, she’d willed it to Tina and her sister. Tina loved the isolation, even if it did mean an hour-long commute to work. The forest and the silence were worth it. She’d bought her sister’s half of the cabin a year ago but still hadn’t gone through her aunt’s cluttered attic.

“It’s dragon magic,” Katrina said. She traced her fingertips across the elaborate dragon embossed on the cover. “Isn’t it beautiful?” The awe that filled the child’s voice aroused Tina’s curiosity and she sat down beside her niece and looked over her shoulder.

“It’s a lovely book. I’ve just never seen it before. I didn’t know it was up here.”

Katrina pushed it into her lap. “You should say a spell.”

“Me?” Tina tried to push the book back.

“Yes,” Katrina said. “There’s a spell in here to call your true love. You should say it.”

Tina shook her head. “I don’t think so.”

“But Mom says you need a man,” Elena piped up.

Tina tried not to glare at her six-year-old niece for the words her mother had put in her mouth. Especially since it was true.

“Come on, Auntie. It will be fun.”

Elena jumped up and down. “I wanna see a dragon.”

“A dragon. Right.” Tina looked into the hopeful faces of her nieces and sighed. She was a sucker for cute. “Fine, let’s see this book.” She flipped open the pages. Dragons illuminated every page along with words written in elaborate script. Spells to vanquish your enemies, create a storm and…Tina stopped on the page. Call Your True Loves.

“That’s the one. Come on. Read it.”

Tina ran her finger down the page. It seemed innocuous enough. Entertainment for the girls. Elena jumped up and down until Katrina—older and wiser at age nine—pulled her down beside her.

“Don’t distract her. It’s magic. She has to concentrate.”

It was all Tina could do not to roll her eyes. Concentrate? To read a “magic spell”. Yeah, right.

“Okay, here goes…

“By Dragon’s Light and Dragon’s Fire
Bring me now my heart’s desire
Warrior, Maiden, Protector, Three
By daylight come my Loves to me.”

She finished the words and waited. And waited. The girls sat silent, listening intently to every creak the old house made. A heavy weight clogged the air around them.

The doorbell rang, shattering their anticipation.

All three gasped.

“He’s here,” Katrina breathed, her eyes popping open wide. Elena jumped up and started to scream. Waving for her niece to be quiet, Tina leaned over and peeked out the window that looked down on the driveway.

“Sorry to disappoint you. It’s your parents. Come to take you home.”

“But where is he?” Elena asked as Tina gathered the book and followed them down the stairs.

“Maybe it doesn’t work immediately. Maybe you have to wait,” Katrina said, obviously still hopeful.

Tina smiled. “Well, then I’ll keep waiting.” Yeah, right. I’m done waiting for Mister Right. I’m looking for Mister Well-Hung. But my nine year-old niece doesn’t need to hear that.

She set the book on the couch and nagged her nieces to gather their stuff before opening the door and greeting her sister. Pam looked remarkably satisfied and a little rumpled and Tina couldn’t resist saying so. Pam smiled.

“It’s amazing what having the house to yourself for five straight hours will do for you.” Her husband, Mike, stepped out of the car and waved. He also had an air of relaxation about him.

“Glad somebody’s gettin’ some,” Tina said with a smile.

Pam laughed. “You could be, too. You just need to get out there.”

“I’ve been ‘out there’. I didn’t care for it. And what’s this business about telling your girls I need a man?”

“You do. It’s got to be lonely living all the way out here by yourself and wouldn’t it be nice to have a man to cuddle up next to on cold nights when your heating goes out.”

“The only man I need when my heating goes out is the plumber.”

Pam shook her head. “You’re missing out. I think you should reconsider some of the men in town. Dane watches you like you’re ice cream on a hot day.”

Tina felt the center of her stomach fall away at the mere mention of his name. Dane Sheridan, sheriff, stud and…ex-husband to one of her best friends. Despite the intense attraction between them, that alone kept her from following through. Still, there had been that one time when they’d almost…

The girls came to the door, their backpacks slung over their shoulders. Tina ignored her the brief, erotic stilted memory and with hugs and kisses, sent them on their way.

The house was quiet when she walked back inside. She missed the girls when they left but also enjoyed the silence of her own space. Strolling into the living room, she stopped at the couch and traced her fingers across the cover of the book. The luminous eyes of the dragon seemed to stare at her—wise, solemn eyes with pale purple sparkles.

“Right,” she said aloud. “I’m looking for a purple-eyed dragon to save me.”

Excerpt: By Daylight Come

By Daylight Come (originally released in Enter the Dragon) will be released as a single title on April 5. This has always been one of my favorite stories. It's the first one that I was really tempted to have my two heroes make love. Didn't happen but it gave me good inspiration for the next book.

Here is an adult (just have to say it) and amusing excerpt from the book. Don't forget. April 5! Mark your calendars...okay, I'll mark my calendar, how about that?

By Daylight Come
by Tielle St. Clare
(available April 5...just a bit of shameless self-promotion).

The irritating “bing-bong” of her doorbell jerked her from a pleasant dream that involved Dane, Raython and a can of whipped cream. Her eyes snapped open and she glared at the clock. It was nine in the morning.

Tina twisted out of Raython’s binding embrace, grousing softly as she stumbled from her bed. She peeked out the upstairs window and yelped. Four cars and two vans filled her driveway and the road leading toward her house. And there were men. Lots of men. Pouring out of the vans and cars, dressed in camouflage and carrying rifles of some sort.

“What the hell?”

The doorbell rang again. She glanced down and saw a familiar form. Dane. And another man she didn’t recognize. With a quick glance toward Raython, she dragged on her robe and left the room, leaving the door open enough so the click didn’t wake the sleeping dragon.

She hurried downstairs, scraping her fingers through her hair as she moved. Raython’s hands had made a mess of her long brown strands but with the insistent ring of the doorbell a third time, she knew she didn’t have time to stop and brush.
Streaks of apprehension streaked raced down her spine. There was only one reason strangers would be on her front porch at nine on a Saturday morning. And that reason was lying naked in her bed.

Trying to act confused but not too panicked, Tina opened the door. A little flutter went through her stomach as she smiled up at the local sheriff. It had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with lust. You’d think after last night, I’d have every bit of arousal out of my system. But Dane’s serious face still made her ache.

Beside him stood another man—dressed in a black suit and with a face dominated by grim eyes and lips. Two others, dressed in the same dark suits, climbed the three steps up to her porch and stood behind Dane.

Dane, wearing a dark green long-sleeved shirt and khaki pants, looked more casual than the others.

“Dane? What’s going on?” she asked, deciding to attack directly.

“Mornin’, Tina, sorry to bother you so early.”

The deep, gravelly sound of his voice sent another tingle into her sex. She pressed her lips together to stifle a moan that threatened. What was wrong with her? She’d been around Dane a lot in the past four years and while she’d been tempted to jump him any number of times, it had never been this acute.

“Can we come inside, ma’am?” The man in the dark suit beside Dane moved forward.

Tina didn’t open the door any farther, waiting for a nod from Dane. Him she trusted. She didn’t know these other men.
“What’s going on?” she asked, hopefully with enough innocence. “Who are these guys?” She lifted her chin toward the cars behind Dane’s shoulder.

He grimaced. She didn’t know if it was real or faked for the purpose of putting her at ease.

“Can we come in?”

She hesitated for a moment longer then opened the door, trying to focus on being a helpful, curious citizen. Not someone who knew that the creature they were seeking was currently naked in her bed.

Dane and the others stepped into her living room. She backed up just enough to let them in but didn’t walk down the three steps into the seating area. She didn’t want these men here—except for Dane. She definitely wanted him there. Actually she wanted him upstairs in her bed but that was currently occupied by a creature from another world.

Stifling the bubble of hysterical laughter that threatened, she gathered the edge of her robe and tried to look serene.

“What’s this all about?” she asked, her nerves snapping.

“Did you watch the news yesterday or this morning? All those reports about a flying dinosaur?” Dane asked. She nodded. Her heart moved into her throat and she was glad she didn’t have to speak. “Well, this is Special Agent Frank Donavon with the FBI. They are investigating that incident.”

Donavon stepped forward as if he was trying to capture some of the room space that Dane’s presence held. “Ma’am, we are sorry to bother you this morning. In reality, what everyone saw yesterday was a test plane. A glider really. The crew thought it would be funny to paint a dinosaur head on it before it made its first flight.”

Tina didn’t respond. She wasn’t sure if she could lie to the FBI. Then again, he was lying to her.

And he did so with friendly smile.

“They think it crashed on your property, Tina,” Dane interjected. “They’d like to search your lot.”

It was a lot of land and they wouldn’t find anything.

“Well, I think that…” She stopped speaking when the four men in front of her stopped listening. One by one she watched their eyes leave her and turn to the stairs. Bracing herself for what she knew was behind her, hoping that Raython had put on the shorts she’d left lying at the end of the bed, she slowly turned.

Nope. He was naked. Gorgeous, sensual, and definitely naked. Raython stood halfway down the stairs, his hair brushed back over his shoulders baring his body to everyone in the room. Even more revealing was the look on his face. He had that aura about him that said he was satisfied. Even Tina could see it. He gave off the attitude of having fucked the night away.
Which he could have, she thought with a silent groan, except he’d made his little discovery and refused to touch her except to hold her while she slept. It had been sweet and loving but her body craved more. The telltale ache in the pit of her stomach rumbled again.

He strolled down the stairs and snapped her out of her arousal. Unaware or uncaring that the four men stared at him, Raython directly toward Dane. Raython stopped in front of him and with a blatant inspection, he scanned down Dane’s body. Pausing at his chest and his crotch, and finally reaching his feet. Tina held her breath.

“Excellent choice, Maiden. He will make a fine Warrior and bear you strong sons.”

“What the f—”

“Uh, sorry.” She grabbed Raython’s arm and pulled him backwards until he stood beside and a little behind her. “This is Rayth—uh, Ray. He’s my brother…” She saw another widening of the eyes from the FBI agents. “In-law. Ex-brother-in-law.”

The three FBI men nodded wisely. She wasn’t doing a good job of lying about this, but none of them seemed to mind. They just thought she was trying to cover up an illicit love affair. Dane wasn’t so easy. He folded his arms across his chest and glared at Raython. Raython stared back, not cowed at all by Dane’s stare.

“Don’t you have some clothes to put on?” Dane asked.

Raython tilted his head to the side then looked down at his body. After a long moment of self-inspection he looked back up to Dane. “Why? Am I not pleasing? Do you find my form offensive?”

A hint of red marked the base of Dane’s neck. “No, but there is a lady present.”

Raython shook his head, causing his hair to drape forward over his chest. “Tina does not mind. She finds my shape and size most enjoyable.”

Taking Shape A Top Pick!

Night Owl Reviews gave taking shape 4.75 out of 5 stars.

Heather says..."The sexual tension between the main characters is scorching hot and seems to shoot sparks off the page."

Taking Shape is a fun, fast read (okay, that's my opinion). There's an excerpt just a few posts down!

Marvin and the Three Bears (Sequel to Fairy Dust)

So, just got word from my editor that she's accepted Marvin and the Three Bears! Very excited. If you've read Fairy Dust (where Fairy Godmother Marlena changes her Happily Ever After Dust to include a hot sex additive), then you've met Marvin. Marvin is the hapless but helpful second-in-charge in Fairy Tale Land. He was supposed to get rid of Marlena's amped up fairy dust but he just hasn't had time and when some gets sprinkled on a classic tale, he jumps into the fairy tale to save it. Or maybe the tale saves him.

It's a short, very fun tale with lots of sex and a super hot Papa Bear. I'll let you know when I have a release date, etc.

Thanks!
Tielle
