#8Sunday #SexySnippets #WeekendWritingWarriors: The Witches' Mischief 3

Happy Sunday!

I can't believe March is here. This last week of February has swept by amid chaos (thus, me forgetting to sign up last week ><) but here we are. Today I'm going to give you a glimpse from book 3 of The Witches' Mischief series.  I've just submitted this story for publication, so I'm a bundle of nerves, trying hard not to stalk my email.

Please meet Conall Dougal. He's not in a very good mood...

Conall leaned onto the neck of the animal, pushing it to run faster. His hair whipped around him, the breeze slapping him in the face and fueling the anger still coursing through him.
How could they have fooled him in such a way? 

“Dirty, thieving, wenches, all three of them,” he cursed under his breath. 
 
He would find them. By all that was dear to him, he would find those women and give them the punishment they deserved. He’d take great pleasure in flogging them, spanking them and—he grinned. His hands tightened on the reins as his mind conjured the perfect image of his women.

#TNTConfidential Author Spotlight on Alpha's Claim Manlove Edition- Pelaam

Here for my Birthday Bash? Then, please Click Here.


Hello darlings and welcome to the last post of the Alpha's Claim week! Today's visiting author belongs to the Manlove edition and it is none other than Pelaam!



The Alpha gets what he wants when he wants it. His Beast will stop at nothing to claim his mate.

When Marcus rescues Kody, he’s sure he’s found his mate. But Kody isn’t another bear, he’s a lynx, and he’s reluctant to trust anyone. Especially an Alpha like Marcus. 




~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt: 


Sounds reached his ears: low growls, hisses, and the odd, drawn-out yowl. As he closed the distance, the sounds grew louder. He burst through thick foliage and into a clearing. The sounds were made by a trio of Canada lynxes. Shifters, he sensed it. A fourth one was pressed so far into a small hole in a tree’s trunk that only its head and front paws were visible. As the other three took turns approaching, it lashed out with its paw.


Marcus was certain the trio of cats were purposely baiting it. While they seemed fairly fresh as they moved in one after the other, the lynx in the tree looked like it was tiring. Then he heard the soft mewls of distress it was making, and a red mist descended before his eyes.


He rose up on his hind legs and bellowed loudly. The three lynxes looked at him, and then scattered as he charged towards them. He briefly considered giving chase, but the scent he’d followed remained close by. He turned and looked at the remaining lynx still huddled in the bole of the tree. He shifted, resuming his human form, but the lynx didn’t move.


“My name is Marcus. I won’t hurt you. I promise.”


He sat down, hoping to make himself appear less threatening. For a moment or two, the lynx remained hunched, and then slowly crawled forward and out of the tree. Marcus sat immobile, as the lynx shifted. Then the breath caught in his throat.


A slender, pale skinned man stood before him. Thick honey-blond hair, badly matted and carelessly parted to the left, reached slim shoulders. Despite being both dirty and disheveled, there was no missing the beauty that lay beneath.


The young man looked around nervously. "They'll be back. They'll come after me because their fear of the Alpha's fury will be greater than their fear of you."

#TNTConfidential Author Spotlight on Alpha's Claim- Morgan King

After yesterday's short break, Alpha's Claim week is still going strong! Today I have here with me author Morgan King and her story Love's Rescue from the M/F version of the anthology. Welcome Morgan!




Love’s Rescue 

 One night while attending a party hosted by Jon Liselle, newly appointed second in command of the Human Alliance Party, Jakob hears a song that no one else can. With stealth and cunning Jakob makes his way into the hidden depths of Jon's home, only to discover a creature being kept captive. She is a mermaid and he is her song mate. Together they must both utilise their shifter powers to escape, but will Nerissa stay with him or will she want to go home once she is free? Jakob wants to claim Nerissa forever but fears rescuing her from one cage only to trap her with his love. Nerissa must choose between complete freedom and going home, or love and the destiny of having a mate.

It all began with a piece of flash fiction, the word was opulent, the word limit two hundred and this flew straight into my head: 

The tank was disgustingly opulent. It consumed one wall, floor to ceiling and was decorated with swirling images of shells, coral and sea life all gilded in pearl. The vast array of shimmering colors distracted his eyes momentarily, but nothing could disguise the purpose of the chamber, it was a cage and its captive swam towards the reinforced glass wall, her eyes open wide reciprocating his stare. Her tail swished angrily back and forth, the color of those moving scales so obviously matching the delicate pigment staining the glass barrier. 
One word originating from somewhere outside of himself burst through his head “Help!”
He was looking at a mermaid and he could hear her voice as if she had spoken to him.
It resonated right to the depths of his heart.



~~~~~~~~
Excerpt



Jakob lifted his torso up and looked down at Nerissa. She was right. “That’s unbelievably sexy,” he said looking at iridescent colors shimmering across her skin, the mounds of her breasts gleaming, her nipples rising up like two hard little pearls polished to perfection. Unable to resist he took one in his mouth and sucked.

“You even taste of a sea breeze, salty and fresh.” Jakob dragged his tongue across her flesh, from breast to navel. “I want to taste all of you.”

Nerissa thrust her hips against him, and Jakob slowly made his way down her body licking her smooth flesh with his rough tongue. He took one of her legs and lifted it over his shoulder. For just a moment he rested his head against her lower belly, as if humbling himself before a shrine. 

He wanted to breathe her in so her scent would never leave him. He wanted to drink her taste, so it would forever linger on his palate. 

“Please … don’t stop.”

There was no danger of that.

And just in case you’re thinking she’s a mermaid that could be tricky, clearly she shifts to human form!



Hopefully you will love Love’s Rescue and be pleased to know it’s going to be the first in a series: Paranormal Rights. 

Set in Suffolk Paranormal Rights presents an urban fantasy/alternate reality version of the East of England (think sea, forest, factories, unique fantasy architecture, and historic buildings).
Here there is a fight brewing between the tyrannical, racist and undemocratic human society and the paranormal underclass. The political arena is the ring and the showdown will be the forthcoming election.
 

About Morgan: 


Well I like to see myself as an infinitely patient single mother and charity manager by day and reader and writer of erotic romance by night. I love all genres of romance, but have a special tendre for historical stories having been seduced by Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer at a young age. I even named my dog Darcy. 

My son is a very imaginative five year old, so when the characters aren’t having conversations in my head I’m voicing the character of a witch, dragon, pirate or possibly knight. Yes, I always get to be the bad guy for some reason! We live in the rural East of England not far from the forest so there are always plenty of opportunities for adventure.
