A Spooky Season Deal
What do you like to do for Halloween?
The past few years, I’ve mostly sat around and watched slightly spooky (I don’t do scary) movies with Mr. Parker. This year, I’ll be celebrating a good friend’s wedding, so I’m looking forward to a romantic Halloween with loved ones!
What are your plans? What’s your favorite costume?
And if you won’t be going out, what will you be reading?
My friend Clarissa Bright and I are running a Halloween Double Feature deal for all your Halloween Reverse Harem needs! In Her Thrall and Academia Obscura: The Heiress will be free on Kindle today and tomorrow, so grab your copies while you can!
“I can’t stop myself when the words tumble out of my mouth. “Would it be okay if I kissed you again?”
She blushes as her mouth quirks in a small smile, her eyelashes fluttering. And she’s so gorgeous that I can’t breathe, her thumb stroking in a steady rhythm against my scales.
“I think I would like that,” she says.
I raise my right hand to her cheek and she sucks in a staggered breath as I get closer. In the firelight, I can see the dusting of brown freckles across her nose, and everything about her is so soft and delicate and perfect that I want to stay in this suspended moment for as long as I can.
Our lips meet haltingly, breathlessly. It’s not like that first impulsive kiss, and I do everything I can to maintain a handle on myself so I don’t overwhelm her. Not that it’s easy. She lets out a little whimper and I tilt my head, sucking gently on her bottom lip, kissing her once, twice, three times.
Nova sighs deep in the back of her throat and then her fingers are on my scalp, her nails raking between the strands of “my hair, her other hand on the back of my neck, pulling me closer. I’m so thrilled that she wants me that I can barely process how I feel about the whole thing, and instead I wrap my other arm around her waist so I can drag her into my embrace.
She opens her mouth and I taste her again, concentrating this time on her flavor, on the sweet freshness of the water and how warm she is compared to my cool skin. Her heat makes me feel feverish with need, and when she tilts her mouth to let me in I readily accept the invitation, plunging my tongue between her teeth to tangle with hers. My whole body thrums with the pulsing beat of what I’m certain is the Bond. I feel my cock hard in my pants when her hand trails down my chest, down to where my scales disperse and the sensitive flesh of my abdomen starts.
I wrench myself away with a ragged breath as she keeps touching me, and then her mouth is on my neck, her hand going lower, lower. My hips buck when her fingers brush over the waist of my pants, and I groan out her name, wondering if this is really going to happen.
“Nova…”
She pauses, and then she says the last thing I want to hear.
“We should stop.”
YES. More free romance from some of my wonderful romance writer friends!
