Seduction: Devil's Tavern 4 will be out on Sept. 5th with Purple Sword Publications. I wanted to share a quick glimpse between the pages.
Enjoy.Blurb:
Valerie
dreams of a man who ties her up and pleasures her all night long. When
she wakes, his soft caresses follow her. All she wants is to sink back
into her dreams and become his slave.
Her sister, Niki conjures
an evil djinn into their world. James and Valerie must stop the genie
before it brings others of its kind into their world.
When her dream master offers
a solution to defeat the djinn, Valerie is hard pressed not to take his
proposition. If she does, will she be releasing the lesser of two evils?
Excerpt:
The
scent of cloves and oranges wafted through the room. She turned her face to the
perfume and inhaled deeply. The spicy aroma signaled that he wasn’t far behind.
Her anticipation level rose. A soft sigh escaped her lips. The warmth of the
room put her in a languid state. The velvet of the comforter beneath her caressed
her skin. I know he’s coming soon. Is it so horrible to want him to be here
sooner? I crave him every second of the day. The bouquet of the
citrus and earth drew closer. The increase in the fragrance made her wet. Her
heart picked up a few beats. She drew in a breath, savoring the scent. A cold
blast of air slid over her body. Her skin prickled from the introduction of his
presence in the room. The ache of her expectation wound along her nerves, and
it took all she had not to strain against her fetters and mar her skin. He
liked her to be perfect every time he came to see her. Bare and naked. Silent
and compliant, waiting for him. Always waiting for him. It was always about
pleasing him. That was what she had been told since the beginning. That was
what she had agreed to. All for him. All because he made her feel like no one
had before.
“Hello, lovely one,” he said, purring against her ear.
His hot breath blasted against her neck. A coil of yearning unfurled
inside of her. This was what she craved. Her time with him was precious. They
had so little of it together. Everything he did only brought her more pleasure.
His fingertips trailed over her belly, making her squirm. The tips of his sharp
nails pressed into her skin ever so slightly, alerting her to the pain they
could cause if he chose. Tonight she hoped he would be gentle. Sometimes he
made her scream until her throat was raw from the orgasms he brought her. Other
times he would be cruel, winding her tighter and tighter, leading her to the precipice
of ecstasy and then leaving her wanting. She hated it when he was cruel, but
knew there were times she just had to be punished.
Valerie knew
better than to respond to his haunting voice. The last time she did, he had hit
her ass with a studded paddle until she cried for mercy. For a moment, the skin
of her buttocks burned from the sensory memory of the paddle. The joy of disciplining
her was what had made the experience worth it. The pain faded away from her
thoughts when he slid his finger over the satin blindfold that obstructed her
view of him. The desire to see him gripped her soul. She’d never been permitted
to glimpse his face. It was only his touch, smell, and taste that she was
allowed. They had agreed, when he started coming to her, that he would be the
one to set the rules. He governed her world while they were together. She had
consented to all of his requests and never thought twice about it. When they
were together, she became his. The only problem was that she never knew when
their rendezvous would be.
The bed
depressed from his added weight. His body heat warmed her naked flesh. The pad
of his thumb glided over her bottom lip. Everything in her ached to suck it
into her mouth and taste him, but she remained motionless.
“You
remembered. Good girl. Maybe this time I won’t have to beat you.”
