Anything for you Mistress…

Thrace S’ver is an unwilling slave. Drugged and bound, he is taken to the Flesh Bazaar and put up for sale to the highest bidder. But this is not the first time Thrace has been on the auction block—he has a past full of horrors he doesn’t intend to repeat. Desperate to be free, he swears he’ll kill whoever buys him.

Lonnara Trin is the Captain of a merchant ship from the all female planet of Zetta Prime where sexual relations with a male are considered unnatural and wrong. She has no use for males personally, but she needs a big, muscular slave or her business will suffer—Thrace fits the bill.

Soon Mistress and slave are embroiled in a desperate conflict which draws them intimately together. To her surprise, Trin actually begins to have feelings for her slave. And though Thrace swore to be free, he finds himself devoted to his new Mistress. When their differences threaten to tear them apart, Trin tries to grant Thrace his freedom. But she doesn’t realize that his heart has already been…Enslaved.

Excerpt:

“Mistress,” he murmured, looking up at her. “Would you spread your legs for me a little? I can’t reach you otherwise.”

Trin bit her lip.

“You…you reached me just fine before, when you paid obeisance before the feast,” she pointed out breathlessly.

“Yes…” Thrace’s silver-blue eyes were half-lidded with lust. “But then I was only kissing your panties. This time I am paying obeisance to your pussy and I want to do it properly.”

“I…you do?” Trin wished her voice didn’t come out sounding so high and girly. She tried again. “What do you mean by…properly?” she made herself ask in a somewhat lower and more steady tone.

“I must worship your entire pussy—must pay obeisance to both your outer pussy lips and your inner cunt,” he rumbled, looking up at her. “As is proper and right.”

“I…I don’t think…”

“You know I’ll be gentle,” he promised, stroking her inner thigh with one big, warm hand. “And I swear it will just be a kiss—I won’t penetrate you, not even with my tongue. I’ll treat your pussy with the same reverence and respect I used towards your mouth and nipples, Mistress.”

“Well…” Trin could feel herself weakening. Surely it couldn’t hurt to let him do this, she reasoned with herself. Not when it was just a kiss and he wasn’t even using his tongue. “All right,” she said at last and Thrace gave her a slow smile.

“Thank you, Mistress,” he murmured. “Now, please spread yourself for me.”

Trin did as he said, though it made her blush to do so. She opened her thighs for him, allowing him better access to her pussy. But this clearly wasn’t enough for Thrace.

With a low growl, he lifted her right thigh and placed it over his broad, left shoulder.

Trin gasped and had to keep her balance by grabbing his other shoulder with one hand. At the same time, she could feel that the new position had opened her considerably. Looking down she saw that her outer pussy lips were spread wide, showing the creamy inner part of her cunt which was already wet with her juices.

A male! A male made you that way—made you wet. Made you want him, want his kiss and more, whispered a condemning little voice in her brain.

“Goddess!” Trin whispered. Unable to look, she closed her eyes on the shameful sight. But then she heard Thrace calling her.

“No, baby,” he said softly when she opened her eyes to look at him. “Watch me do this…watch me honor your sweet little pussy…watch me pay obeisance to your cunt.”

“Thrace…” she whispered and found that once again, she was caught in the trap of his silver-blue gaze, completely unable to look away.

“That’s right, Mistress,” he murmured, leaning towards her, never taking his eyes from hers. “Watch me honor you.”

Then his hot, open mouth was connecting with her trembling pussy, bathing her in heat, making Trin gasp and then moan as she felt his warmth envelope her, claiming her completely.

Title: Forever Captive

Author: Lea Barrymire

Series: Aferrum Brotherhood

Genre: Gay Erotic Romance/Sci-Fi

Flame Rating: Hot to Scorching

Blurb: 

Luke has given up the idea of finding someone to spend his life with, at least until he’s no longer working for his uncle and living in a small town. When his eyes meet those of a sexy stranger after a hockey game he’s almost tempted to listen to his friends. They’d been urging him to give in and find a man to share some intimacy with. Luke’s ideals don’t mesh well with the idea of a one-night stand.

Sycita isn’t an ordinary human looking for a man to sate his lusts. He’s not a human at all. Walking into the ice rink had been the best thing he could have done while searching for a male to use during his Needing. What Syc didn’t expect was the draw to not only bed but to keep the human male.

Can the two lovers conquer their differences, their burning lust and their families to find some semblance of happy ever after?

A.M. Griffin's Dangerously His!

Hello and welcome to my post on Dangerously His by A.M. Griffin.

Title: Dangerously His
Author: A.M. Griffin
Series: Loving Dangerously Book 4
Genre: Sci-Fi


Blurb:
Justin “JB” Blake has never met a woman he couldn’t bed—or one he wants to keep. That changes the second he lays eyes on Princess Saia Xochis. The beautiful alien makes his body burn and his heart ache. She will be his. All JB has to do is risk life and limb at the hands of her abusive father, her protective brother, and her warmongering intended mate.

The possibilities of death and dismemberment have never stopped him before.

Inside Scoop:  This book has a small taste of female/female fun—as well as scenes of abuse that are decidedly not fun.

A Romantica® sci-fi erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

Amazon: Dangerously His: 4 (Loving Dangerously)

Ellora's Cave

Excerpt:

Submerged in the soapy water is where Saia felt most at ease, where she could relax from prying eyes. There was no need to hold her spine erect, so she let it lay back against the tiles. No longer needing to hold her head up high, she let it roll back to rest against the ledge. She closed her eyes and let her fingers play in the water, bringing her hands up to her breasts, letting the water run down the mounds of flesh that peeked through the water’s surface.

She couldn’t help but sigh as her nails skimmed across her large brown nipples. She caught them between her fingers and plucked, making them ache with pleasure.

She twisted and teased her nipples until a moan escaped her lips.

A sharp intake of breath came from the doorway.

Startled, she covered herself and turned to her stomach to face the door, staying below the water with her chin rested on the ledge.

Justin stood in the bathing room doorway. His hand gripped the frame so hard, his knuckles were a shade lighter than the rest of his skin. His body was rigid. The thick outline of his cock could be seen clearly from where she sat.

His normally playful demeanor was replaced with lust—carnal lust.

She clenched her hands on the ledge.

“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice breaking. He cleared his throat. “I shouldn’t have intruded.”

“How did you get in here?” she asked. Another emotion—wanting—quickly replaced any previous embarrassment.

He pointed over his shoulder, toward her room. “The balcony.”

“Did Ship let you through one of the apartments again?”

One side of his mouth rose in a smile. “I’m a space pirate—a locked door couldn’t keep me from getting to you.”

“Really?”

“I’ve broken into fancier places than this.”

“And survived.”

“Clearly.”

She should’ve been mad at him for coming into her room announced. For seeing her naked. For watching her play with her breasts. She pulled her lower lip into her mouth and let her eyes wander to his cock.

No. Mad wasn’t the emotion she was feeling.

“I went to the garden and you weren’t there. You also didn’t answer your com-link,” he continued.

“I thought you were with Taio and Eva in the common room.”

“I try to stay away from Taio as much as possible.”

They stared at each other in silence.

“I was going to call you later. After my bath.”

He placed his hands on his hips and then dropped them to shield his cock. “I’m glad I didn’t wait for you.”

Her insides tingled down to her core. “This is where you would excuse yourself.”

“Are you kicking me out?” he asked. His voice seemed much deeper than before.

She should. Ancients knew she should. “No, Justin the space pirate.”

She turned around to lie on her back once more and closed her eyes. Her body shook with anticipation. She heard the door closing and resisted the urge to turn around. As she heard his soft steps approaching, her chest constricted. She clenched her jaw shut.

Next came the soft sound of what she thought was Justin pulling off his boots. He eased his legs in the water, one on each side of her. She found enough courage to open her eyes and saw that his pants had been rolled up to his knees, displaying toned, hairy legs. She let him cradle her head in his hands as he sat down on the ledge. Gently, he eased her head back to rest squarely on his groin.

She didn’t know which was worse. The compromising situation or that she was so excited by it.

His fingers ran massaging tracks along her scalp and by her temples. “Do what you were doing before I interrupted.”

Everything stilled within her. “I can’t.”

“Why not?”

“I was… I can’t do that with you watching.”

His hands trailed down her face…her neck…her chest…until finally he reached her breasts.

She arched her back and inhaled sharply. Insistent throbbing began between her thighs. She squeezed her knees together. His fingers massaged and kneaded her breasts. He cupped them as if he were trying to guess the weight. When his fingertips skimmed her nipples, she moaned. Embarrassed by the sound, she put a hand over her mouth.

He pulled her hand away. “I want to hear how good I make you feel.”

And there it was again, stronger. The throbbing.

“Am I making you feel good?” he asked.

She nodded, not trusting herself to talk.

He scooped up the bubbles that skimmed the water and used a handful to rub over her breasts, covering them. His hands were smooth against her flesh. Her nipples were alive with sensation.

She held on to his arms as he massaged around and across. She ached for him to touch between her legs—where the throbbing continued to build.

Could she?

She could.

She tugged his hand, making him reach farther.

“Do you want me to massage you down there?”

“Yes,” she moaned. A hundred times yes.

Blurb:
After nearly losing their lives defeating the creatures of Mythos in Revolutionary France, Julia and Kaitlyn finally understand what Angie has known all along… being a Daughter of Fate isn’t so fun when one mistake can mean their deaths. Haunted by visions and horror-filled memories, the girls have spent the summer honing their newly discovered magical abilities, determined to grow in power and prepare for the uncertain time when the Fates summon them to their next mission.

But their protector Ethan, still embittered by Julia’s betrayal, refuses to engage in the girls’ magical research or power-enhancing spell practice. That is, until his brother’s loyalty to Julia causes him to unwittingly uncover ancient magic greater and more binding than any force the girls have encountered so far. Before the girls or Ethan grasp the full extent of what his brother has done, the girls are jettisoned through time into the madness of the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy.

Only by working together can the girls harness the full power of their magic and secure the world timeline, but with the lives of those close to Angie and Julia at risk, and Kaitlyn designing a dark agenda of her own, all three girls harbor secrets that threaten to drive their fledgling trinity apart. Small treacheries, mounting fear, and the use of dark magic have not gone unnoticed by those trapped within the Nether… those who would stop at nothing to unleash their destruction upon the world once more.

Review for Bound at the Ball by Lea Barrymire

Title: Bound at the Ball

Author: Lea Barrymire

Publisher: Siren Publishing-Allure Imprint

Genre: Sci-Fi/Futuristic

Publication date: January 28, 2013

ISBN: 978-1-62242-424-5

Length: 151 pages

Book Series and number: N/A

Rating: 4 1/2

Heat Rating: Hot

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. I rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Reviewed for For Whom The Books Toll

4 ½, Hot

Rella Cinder was born to the submissive race on her planet and has finally reached the age of maturity. She has hated her nature since birth and has fought her submissiveness. As the youngest of four sisters, she’s watched the others go off and look for mates. This time she’s forced to comply with the government’s edicts, which includes attending the Unity Ball and taking a mate from the warrior species. What she doesn’t know is that she has already caught the eye of a warrior before stepping foot into the Ball.

Warrior Sabar is ready to take a mate but doesn’t want a weak female. He sees what he craves in the willful Rella during her Initiation Ceremony. Her sweet submission and soft cries of passion are exactly what he wants in a mate.

Can they find each other before the Unity Ball ends? Or will someone else claim her?

My review:

Lea Barrymire is a new to me author and I totally enjoyed, Bound at the Ball. The story is set in the future on a planet inhabited by a race of submissive people, the Tropustyr. The Zabyr Warrior race came to the aid of the Tropustyrs and both governments enacted new rules for both races.

It's time for Rella to attend the Unity Ball and hopefully catch the attention of her future husband. Rella reluctantly follows the instructions of her cruel sister, always wanting to rebel against the rules. She might be submissive but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a brain. Everything about the Unity Festival and what happens between a man and a woman is kept secret from unwed women. Rella is frightened during the Cleansing Ceremony, when the dominant warriors come to her home for her cleansing.

Sabar has attended to other Cleansing Ceremonies and Unity Balls and has enjoyed himself immensely. There is something about this woman that draws him to her. He asks her questions about herself and forbidden activities and her answers inflame his libido. Sabar knows he wants Rella for his own, her strength and determination only make him want her more.

Ms. Barrymire creates a world where two seperate races live together for the benefit of each other. Her writing style is genius and her characters jump from the pages with their depth and dimension. Bound at the Ball is fast paced with a couple of surprises thrown in to create turmoil.

Rella is obedient and also has a mind of her own, with her own opinions. Why does everything have to be hush-hush about sex?

Sabar isn't really interested in settling down yet, he just wants to enjoy all life has to offer. He's definitely caught off guard by Rella. It was fun to read about their introduction, and the history about both races. Sabar also doesn't understand why the two governments insist on all the secrecy between the men and women. Sabar is strong, confident, and very sexy and there is great sexual tension between them.

I thought the concept of the story line very imaginative, the characters larger than life, the ups and downs intriguing and the ending wonderful. I did however have mean thoughts for Rella's sisters and wished she would have gotten her due. Hopefully Ms. Barrymire will revisit Rella and Sabar in another book.

CBP-Victoria Pinder The Zoastra Affair & Giveaway!!!

Thanks for stopping by my stop on Victoria Pinder's The Zoastra Affair Blog Tour.

Title: The Zoastra Affair

Genre: Science fiction/space opera

Flame rating: Warm

Released: 12/23/2013

Publisher: Soul Mate Publishing

Blurb:
A hundred years from now, Earth has trading partners with alien beings, mostly humanoid. However, going into space brought forth an unknown enemy who attacks Earth at will.

The Zoastra is part of the Earthseekers, an organization originally designed to go into space. Its new mission is to find Earth’s enemies.

Ariel is stuck on a Victorian planet and steals Grace’s body and life to get off the planet. Grace must get her body back before Ariel bonds with Grace’s husband, Peter. Then there is Cross, the man on a mission to find those who killed his family. Ariel is attracted to Cross, but she’s stolen someone’s life.

Excerpt Two:

“In a few weeks Ariel will be leaving us. Heading toward marriage with Massimo?” Ms. Rochelle’s voice pulled her back into the lecture.

“Err . . .” Massimo, with his hovercraft, became convenient transportation to leave the school with permission, but marriage? The boy dreamed of owning a restaurant with a pretty wife. She’d find a way off the planet, when she wasn’t being observed or offered for marriage to every low level non-space going man on this planet. Time ticked fast now.

“Ariel is lucky to have found a man so interested in her beauty, he can overlook her status.”

Ariel’s mouth tightened and she lowered her head to hide her scowl. No. Massimo was a child, too. Getting her body back from the child thief, Lenchena, mattered far more. This body was now strong. Away from the ever-watchful teacher, she’d have her chance for escape at one of the upcoming diplomatic events where she’d be a maid or serve others dinner. Plus, Sheratons mated for life, something Ariel refused to believe in. But in order not to draw attention to herself, she played along. “Um, yes. I am.”

A group of male soldiers marched past the closed door of the school room. The females in the class twisted around to catch a glimpse of them. Ariel didn’t join her classmates in staring and drooling at the opposite sex.

Pathetic.

Why did these aliens keep males and females separate until marriage? The customs of this world never ceased to amaze her. The teacher taught the virgin teenagers to expect women to fall into orgasm whenever a man’s hand grazed her body. Seriously? Had they never had sex before? In her memory, sex hadn’t been that all-encompassing.

Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.

During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.

When she woke up to what she wanted, the dream of writing became so obvious. She dreams of writing professionally, where her barista can make her coffee and a walk on the beach, can motivate her tales. Contemporary romances are just fun to write. She’s always thinking whose getting hurt and whose story is next on the list to fall in love. Victoria’s love of writing has kept her centered and focused through her many phases, and she’s motivated to write many stories.
