You'll get to read the entire blog post on my WordPress blog April 1, 2013.<br />
<br />
In this excerpt, Gayadnae and Muntaën have met. He is her Kallish [the bedworn of a rulling woman]. This meeting allows another side of Gayadnae to emerge. You'll learn more about the two and their relationship in, <u>_The Kalaydan Chronicles: Book I ~ The Training </u>, now in work.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">I like this man. He listens to me and seems to care about me already, though he hardly knows me. Maybe he’ll like the real me if I let him see who I really am.</span><br />
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">She was silent for a moment then nodded.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“Now, what about you. What did you see?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“I didn’t see as much as you saw. What I did see was very short but ominous. I was, as you said, very much addicted to pawpi and I’d become changed physically as you saw also. But, what you couldn’t know or see was the black, consuming anguish which had filled the empty space inside. There was something I wanted very much that had been denied me and I would never have a chance to have it. For that reason I had become what I was. The pawpi and Daichi served to numb me emotionally, physically, and spiritually.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“What was it you had wanted?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“Please forgive me. I can’t tell you now.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“Will you tell me sometime?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“I think I must.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">Just then Shelbayn galloped into the clearing. He came right up to Gayadnae and nuzzled her neck. She turned to Muntaën.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“If you’re to be my Kallish, how will I find you?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ll be there when the time is right. I have something for you.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“You do?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“Yes.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">He pulled a black pouch from a pocket and handed it to her.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“What is it?”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“Open it.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">She loosened the opening and dumped the contents of the pouch into her hand. Out slid a forest green crystal with blue and silver veins. It had a leather thong wrapped around one end.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“It’s beautiful. Here.”</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">She handed it to him and turned her back to him. She caught up her long, brown tresses so he could slip it around her neck. He turned her slowly around and took in the sight of her as he did so.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“It looks wonderful on you. I had looked for the perfect stone to gift you for many mooncycles. One day, when I was at the silver pond, as I played my fingers in the water, I noticed its green light sparkling. When I saw the veining, I knew it was for you.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">She didn’t realize the significance of everything he said; but, instead, put her arms around his neck tentatively and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. He flushed; and, for a moment, the heaviness which was reflected in his face went away but returned when she stepped back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">He looked around at a snort from Shelbayn. The horse was becoming nervous and skittish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">He pulled her closer to him in an embrace, then brought his stone up close to hers. She held his hand at bay for a moment.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">His feral yellow eyes became bigger and darker as he moved his face closer to hers. His breath smelled sweet and spicy all in one. He kissed her full on the mouth. Not holding back, he pulled her tightly to him and covered her lips with the warmth of his own. His tongue sought entry and was met enthusiastically by hers. Their embrace went no further than the kiss, but each knew an awakening had occurred for which there must be a satisfying answer. He released her. Her bosom heaved and her breathing was heavy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt;">“There’s more where that came from, right?” She asked, disappointment showing in the set of her mouth.</span></div>
<div style="-qt-block-indent: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 18px;">

Next week, my HHD post will go up on my WordPress blog.<br />
<br />
Hi there! Glad you joined me for my leg of this <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/2013/01/24/horny-hump-day-participants-january-30-2013/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a>. I return to, _<u>The Training</u>_, which is a WIP in continuation of <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/119106" target="_blank">The Kalaydan Chronicles: Book I ~ The Moon-kissed Chi</a>. Sex between Arrinay and Bezhyanya is always gratifying for them both, even though being fully spent isn't something Bezhyanya reaches easily. You can read previous entries for <a href="http://thepearlydroplets.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Kalaydan%20Chronicles" target="_blank">The Kalaydan Chronicles </a>here.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> She worked her hips in an increasing tempo that was not unlike thunder rolling across the plains. The tension built as they worked together, then the storm broke. Arrinay collapsed on Bezhyanya’s broad chest, her nails digging into his skin, as she snuggled in his strong embrace, while the tempest abated.</i></blockquote>
<br />
In this scene, Bezhyanya and Arrinay have entered the other-world they've entered many times before, while on pawpi trip. This trip promises to be memorable, but they don't know it yet. As they travel the path to <i>the cave</i>, they see any number of species of animals of which the females are pregnant or followed closely by babies. This becomes important as book two unfolds. <br />

Well, almost better. <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/2013/01/17/horny-hump-day-participants-january-23-2013/" target="_blank">This Horny Hump Day</a> I return to <i>The Training</i> which is a WIP in continuation of <i>The Kalaydan Chronicles: Book I ~ The Moon-kissed Chi</i>. Grayt and Bezhaynya's relationship continues and is made more special by the children which grow in her belly. You can read previous entries for <i>The Kalaydan Chronicles</i> <a href="http://thepearlydroplets.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Kalaydan%20Chronicles" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> Bezhyanya lay, cradling Grayt with his body, comfortably relaxed. She moved against him slightly as she reached behind to pull one of his hands around to her belly, encouraging him to stroke it. He nuzzled her head with his chin and breathed in her woodsy scent slowly then exhaled softly. </i></blockquote>
On Kalaydan, a person can sire or bear children by others who aren't their bed-sworn mates. The disposition of the children is decided by simple rules which ensure a family life (father and mother) for the child. In the case of some, the "other person" is brought into the household and becomes a family member of sorts. Bezhyanya is the bedsworn to Arrinay, Kalaydan's ruling woman. Grayt resides in The Household as Arrinay's serving woman.<br /><br />Here's one facebook group you can't not join: BTS Promotions: Erotica Authors & Readers Group.

I think this is a good week to revisit Tara and her chilling lover. You can read previous entries for Tara and her haunting lover <a href="http://thepearlydroplets.blogspot.com/search/label/A%20Ghostly%20Tale%20or%20Two" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
His frosty tongue to her nipples caused her to shiver with suppressed excitement. The wrinkled raisins which adorned her aureoles shriveled even more; an unmistakable throbbing pulsed and ached within her Delta-of-Venus. The touch of his fingers to her love-button released a flow of her joy juices which ran down her slit and tickled her anus.</blockquote>
On a weekend getaway with long-time friends, Tara meets the first man (well sorta) who is her sexual match in all ways. Only thing, he resides in the ether (or nether) and makes appearances only in the hours of weeness. This nibble is a selection from A Ghostly Tale I, the first story in my W.I.P, _A Ghostly Tale, or Two_. After her discovering him in the bed beside her after the stroke of midnight, she quickly warms up (after a fashion) to him and things take a more satisfying turn.<br />

I've got guest authors booked through April 2013, but plan to put a call out for authors in February to start filling the May through June newsletter slots. I also am open to hosting an author on their Virtual Tour if they'd like to stop on my blog. If you'd like to be on the waiting list to be interviewed or to be a guest blogger, for issues in December through April please email me (please include "Grinnie's Featured Authors" in the subject line and whether you want to provide a guest blog or complete an interview in the body of the message). EMail address: grinelda.markowitz@gmail.com. In Spring, I hope to offer a third featured option besides the Guest Author or Guest Blogger options. More on that in coming months.<br />

I enjoy putting pen to paper; even more, the comments from everyone who stops by on <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/2013/01/06/horny-hump-day-participants-january-9-2013/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a> is a succulence of its own. Thank you. It seems my resolution for this year is to take things as they come. I can't seem to isolate one thing I need to focus on for the year that isn't cliché. It's great that you stopped in for <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a> today. Now, let's revisit, "<a href="http://thepearlydroplets.blogspot.com/search/label/Mother%27s%20Milk" target="_blank">Mother's Milk</a>," posted previously to my blogger as a flasher. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>She scooted down until his stanchion was fully sheathed in her wetness, her molten depths. Rubbing his shins with the tops of her feet and flicking the beads of his nipples with her tongue, Sophia brought his lava to a boil. Her pelvis starting a slow but steady undulation sent him over the edge</i><i><i> moments later</i>. </i></blockquote>
Gavin and Sophia have a torrid sex life. In the aftermath of a match, especially one he's won, Gavin reaches his peak more quickly than his norm in the first bout during their sex play. Tonight is no exception. He makes up for it though during their subsequent rounds and she has no want for her own appetites being satisfied, thoroughly.<br />

Gavin and Sophia have been an item since they graduated from highschool. She went on to a nursing career and he moved up the ranks in the boxing world.

<i> Gavin looked down at his opponent as he lay, unconscious on the floor, at his feet; the sound of sandaled feet slapping against the concrete floor below drew his attention away.

<br />
Johnny and Penne's relationship has reached a new level since their walk through the woods. Well, it was more than just a walk.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> Penne awoke to find Johnny leaning on one elbow and watching her sleep, his hands caressing her ever so slightly.</i><br />
<i> "What are you doing," she asked as she reached her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her waiting lips?</i><br />
<i> He lay along her body and pressed his hips into her, letting her know how awake he was.</i></blockquote>

I hope you enjoy this weeks sampling. The long winter days are warming and shorter with a trip down the <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/2012/12/09/horny-hump-day-participants-december-12-2012/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a> trail.<br />
<br />
I think this era, more than any other, is highly conducive to women truly defining womanhood according to their own inner wisdom. Jane is one such woman who has gone through life not really acknowledging "woman" in the sum of who she is, though she is frequently reminded. Here's another nibble from this story as it unfolds.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Enjoying the winter stars and moons on the front porch of the chill night and sipping brindleberry wine, Jane was surprised by the feel of a firm hand on her bottom. <i>Who would dare?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Coyn, smelling sweetly of brindleberry wine and wood smoke and something else which stirred her blood, filled the emptiness beside her, "I wondered where the only true woman in the room had wondered off to."</span></blockquote>
Perhaps not a sizzling offering, but one that promises the sensual and romance. Jane, from <a href="http://thepearlydroplets.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">last week's snippet</a>, will finally be forced to acknowledge her womanness. The part of herself she's never befriended. She never wanted to be like the women around her, but are they really exemplary of completely fulfilled womanhood. There's more to come. See you next week for <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a>.<br />

Did you hear? Its Horny Hump Day!This week for <a href="http://www.hornyhumpday.com/2012/12/02/horny-hump-day-participants-december-5-2012/" target="_blank">Horny Hump Day</a> finds me knee deep in projects. But, I'm never to busy for my favorite day of the week. This week I share a scene that's been clamoring to be put down on paper and thus liberated from my head. Hope you like. Most of all, I'm glad you stopped in.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> She lay there, anticipating and trying to sort out these new feelings; after over forty-five years, something has put her off her game.<br /> Making eye contact with her, he followed the scar on her right side to it's termination point at her swollen nipple. He did the same on her left side, eliciting a sigh of contentment from her as he did.</i></blockquote>
The above is a scene from a story that kinda hijacked my dreams a few weeks ago. I'm only just now getting the bits, pieces, and fragments down on paper. Jane, above is 45 years of age. She's bedding her first man. She's been somewhat of an anomoly to the community in which she lives. Her nature and personality are in sharp contrast to those standards expected of a woman in their rugged mountain culture. No man would even suggest he'd make her his mate. It would be too ludicrous. Then one night, at a party thrown by the only woman whose stood by her all these years and allowed her the liberty to be herself, she meets this man for whom the thought of wedding and bedding her isn't a joke, but rather a privelege. Even her own body has denied her, over the years, her identity as woman. But, she's far more woman than this man, Laske could have ever hoped to find.<br />
