Jus' Chillin' On Horny Hump Day

Warm thoughts and a warm bed are more than welcome in winter.  Horny Hump Day warms thoughts for every visitor to the blog hop.  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 here.

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.

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.

Here's one facebook group you can't not join:  BTS Promotions: Erotica Authors & Readers Group. The next event for the BTS Promotions: Erotica Authors & Readers Group, the "Love Me Tender, Love Me True Valentine' Day Event", happens February 13 from 16:00 - 20:00 Central Standard Time.  Here's a link to the Time Zone Converter.  Guest authors making an appearance:  Pippa Jay,  Kiru Taye, Myra Nour, Scott Harper, Jamallah Bergman, Leslie Ferdinand, Patricia Green, and Elaine Raco Chase.  Visit the group wall frequently for details as they're posted.

The Only Thing Better Than Turkey and Dressing

I hope you enjoy your turkey day tomorry, for those of you who celebrate it.  Thanks for coming by to spend a bit of this Horny Hump Day with me.  While Ailbhe is enjoying her shower with Braydon, let's spend some time with Tara and her chilling love interest.  You'll find an excerpt from Tara's last night of otherworldly romance in the Howloween Blog Hop Post.  See previous nibbles in previous Horny-Hump-Day posts for this w. i. p. here.

Her surprise receded and her arousal sublimed as it dawned on her this was a man whose internal thermostat was set to the same low degree as her own.  His throbbing rod lay along her belly to her navel and course short-and-curlies, his, rubbed her upper thigh.  He pulled her head back with his fingers entwined in her hair; her lips parted in anticipation.  

Tara is a woman who is unflappable to a fault.  You'll recall in a previous HHD post, she awoke to find she no longer occupied her bed alone.  This nibble continues from there.

Horny Hump Day Should Be The First Day Of The Week

Glad you made it by this Horny Hump Day.  A Ghostly Tale or Two is still progressing.  You'll find previous selections from the work-in-progress, here.  The story is moving along slowy but surely.  Please visit my HHD tag to view previous contributions for this glorious day.

This week, I'd like you to meet another man, who like Johnny, appreciates a woman from the ground up (selection from two weeks ago).  Dominic and Manolete have arrived in the limo to pick up Kara and Margie for their double date with dinner and a performance by Margie's brother's band.

Dominic turned away from Manolete at the sound of a door closing, then paused mid-sentence. He took in Kara’s exquisitely long legs and the grace with which she walked towards him in high-heels which screamed, "knock me down and fuck me", at full volume. His only thought, "I hope she’s for me", rendered him speechless until Manolete elbowed him in the ribs.

Don't forget to come back.  We'll be getting a peek at how the two couples do on their first date over the coming HHD's.

I've created a fan page for The Kalaydan Chronicles.  Please stop by and give it a like.  Feel free to friend me on facebook as well.  Visit me on Amazon over the coming weeks and you'll find there's a new addition to the lineup.  The Moon-Kissed Chi will soon be available in hard copy.  Have you followed my wordpress blog?  I take a more writerly perspective in that blog.

Going To The HHD Blog Hop!

Hi there!  Great to see you this Horny Hump Day.  Some of you may be wondering how A Ghostly Tale or Two is coming along - slowly but surely.  You'll find previous selections from the work-in-progress, here.  The story is moving along slowy but surely.  Please visit my HHD tag to view previous contributions.

This week you'll get another look at how it was for Kara and Andrew.  You'll also be there for a turning point in Kara's state of mind. 

Back to that day. I took you roughly, the first time I stuck my throbbing hard on deep in the well of your desire. You yielded and allowed me to use you thoroughly then you took me to task and used me thoroughly as you wrapped yourself around my body, around my heart, and around my soul.

So now you know it was hot from the beginning between Kara and Andrew.  You also now know there's a lot more to Kara than you've seen so far.

Heating It Up With Grinnie And Friends

Get ready to experience how hot a bit of cold can get.  I mentioned cooling trends which mark the onset of winter in last week's post for Horny Hump Day (HHD).  Well, each week when you stop in along the stops on the hop, you've no reason to fear the cold.  You'll find all my previous contributions to this most glorious day of days in this link to my HHD tag. 

A few weeks ago, Tara's ghostly lover made an appearance in the dark of the night and in no better place than her bed.  I guess he likes it there because he's back this week for a bit more of a snuggle.  A first introduction to Tara's new-found friend appears in this HHD entry.

This week we find their relationship has progressed.  Who'd'a thunk his cool nature would set her ablaze so?  Just another little nibble from A Ghostly Tale or Two coming in October.

He kissed her with a glacial passion that recalled decades of sailing fierce seas and commanding men aboard ships in flight from the powers that were.  The burning cold which coursed through her body at his touch set her desires ablaze.  She arched her lower back and growled deep in her throat as his ice-hot fingers caressed the core of her fire.

If Its Hotter Than Blazes, It's Horny Hump Day

Brrrr.  It's cold in here, but not for lack of hot, Horny-Hump-Day action!

Today's hot tidbit is from, A Ghostly Tale I.  I just know you've wondered why Kara's yarn is titled, A Ghostly Tale II.  A doubly haunted whammy is on its way for October.  Three long-time friends, Tara, Sara and Mara go away together on a Fall weekend.  A notorious haunted hotel is the main attraction on their trip.   A light hearted story from the spectral world, this snippet has Tara awakened from sleep by what she thought was the chill in her room.

Slowly, the chill in the room brought Tara to wakefulness, in spite of the heavy coverlet under which she shivered. She rolled over and started upon seeing the luminous form of a man, which shared her pillow and had vibrant blue eyes and a mane of curly hair, staring back at her. It was evident the room wasn’t cold but, rather, her bedmate whose body was wrapped around hers in an amorous embrace.

I hope you enjoyed this week's selection.  My recent release, The Moon-Kissed Chi, is available at smashwords.com.  A Ghostly Tale will be out in late September.  I look forward to seeing you next week for Horny Hump Day.  Even better yet, why not share some of your three-sentence hawtness with us on next week's HHD? Don't forget to visit the other stops on the hop. 

A Ghostly Tale II - Preview

I've been talking about my upcoming book and realized today, as I set the ball in motion for the cover to be made, you might like a preview.  Here's the first chapter.  Keep in mind the title is a working title and will probably change.
