Today I’m celebrating Hump Day with an excerpt from one of my books that is free! Download at Amazon | Smashwords | Kobo

It is from Conquest (My Vampire Lover #1) that is currently out.

Read the Snippet

MATURE ADULT CONTENT – These stories, featuring vampires and werewolves, are for mature audiences only. They contain adult language, violence, and strong sexual content including some light bondage situations. All characters depicted in these stories are 18 years or older, and all sexual activities are of a consensual nature.

Gently he ran his fingers across the side of my face.

I leaned into his large hand, unable to resist the sexual magnetism that made him so confident for a vampire.  My powers to fight him had steadily faded each night we made love.  I raised my chin, exposing the contours of my vulnerable neck to him, knowing it would please him if I finally surrendered.  “So be it,” I muttered.

“Even if you survive, they will kill us if I turn you.”  His fingers laced around strands of my blonde hair as it cascaded over the contours of my firm breasts.  He squeezed one of the nipples hard.

A low moan slipped past my lips.  “We could leave this place,” I whispered.  “Together.”

I immediately wrapped my hands around his cock.  He was hard as steel, yet smooth as velvet.  When he throbbed in my grasp, it sent me to my knees.

Slowly I took him in my mouth as I placed my hands behind my back, offering my complete obedience.  If it was to be my last night on earth, I wanted it to be perfect.  Surely the presence of the full moon would ensure a successful change.  But a vampire turning a werewolf?  Was it possible?

As I lavished the taste of him, moving up and down on his shaft, he spread his toned legs wider, slightly bending his knees.

About Me

I split my time between being a stay-at-home mom and reading paranormal romance. I think good romance should make you purr while good steamy romance should make you scream, but in a good way of course. Because I love vampires AND werewolves, I wanted to write a series featuring both, and see what naughty situations they find themselves in. I’m currently writing a novella series called My Vampire Lover with a blend of paranormal romance, fantasy, and erotica featuring, you guessed it, vampires and werewolves.

If you liked this snippet and want to learn more about my novella series, My Vampire Lover, please visit my Amazon Author page at Amazon US or Amazon UK. If you stop by either Amazon page, please give it a Like. Thanks!

EXCERPT

The following excerpt is from Victoria Embers’ Conquest (My Vampire Lover #1) – FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. Learn more below.

“Take me please,” I demanded, glaring up at the ceiling.  I slammed my arms into the bed, grabbing the satin sheets tightly in my grasp.  I arched my back upwards to him.  “I want to be with you forever.” Conquest (My Vampire Lover Part #1)

“With all your heart?” he asked.

Wrenching my hands together, he held them before him.  His eyes glowed, fierce.

The palms of my flesh grew numb and I froze.  In his darkened bedroom where I spent my days alone and confined, I could only hear his threatening voice.  Being with him every night was what I lived for.  I longed to be his one true love.  It didn’t matter that I was different than him.

“Yes, I want to be yours forever.”  I pulled my body to his, forcing myself off the bed as difficult as it was to do.  His hands bit into my wrists, but the pain didn’t matter.  “I’ll forsake everything to be with you.  Have I not proven that to you time and time again?”

“You have no idea what you’re asking me to do.  Drinking my blood is one thing, but turning you…”  He released my hands and I sank down again into the soft bed.

Immediately I felt his touch return.  I closed my eyes, savoring the moment.

His touch was light and deliciously teasing.  He spread my legs and took his time sliding his fingers down my stomach.  Pausing at the entrance just above my sex, he ran a fingertip around the small triangle of hair.  Then he slid two fingers inside me, instantly finding my clit with his thumb.

“You’re so wet,” he whispered in my ear.  “Perhaps you speak the truth.”

“Yes.”  I groaned, grinding my hips against his hand, letting my body become his as he sent his fingers into me.  I was willing to do anything to please him.  I dug my fingernails into his strong back, feeling the skin loosen slightly under my fingertips.  The warm, wet stickiness of his blood covered them.

“Yes, that’s it,” he growled.  “You want more?”

He slapped me hard on the thigh, growing more aroused.

I fell into the sheets of the bed, feeling a delicious tinge of electricity radiate down my leg.

Crouching above me like a tiger, he immediately reclaimed me.  He pulled me from the bed, whirled me around, and wrapped his arms around me possessively.  His fangs brushed the side of my shoulder.

Momentarily I winced in shame when I realized my shoulders had dropped forward like a coward.  I was shaking.

Suddenly he grew very still.  “I’ll release you, if you like.  And this will all be over.  If I turn you, we’ll surely go to war.  Do you understand?”  His breath was hot on my shoulder.

Gathering my strength, I locked myself into his embrace.  My head fit perfectly in the hollow between his shoulder and neck.  I settled back, enjoying the feel of his strong arms around me.

He traced his fingers down the outer curves of my body.

I could feel his heavy breathing on the back of my neck, as he held me close.  Then putting a large hand to the front of my belly, he drew me to him.

“But I can’t lose you,” he whispered in my ear.

I shuddered beneath his touch.  To be his forever.

EXCERPT Featuring Emily and Vincent – FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

About Virgin Moon
A forbidden romance with a vampire unlocks a virgin werewolf’s passions
Vincent, the rebel vampire son of the dark lord Alichino, receives Emily, a virgin werewolf as a playmate. He wants no part of his father’s latest toy until he looks into the virgin’s eyes and feels his heart flutter. Vincent realizes he must escape with the werewolf beauty who has awakened his heart before she’s found or dies at the hands of his evil father.

He smiled again, this time shyly, almost innocently at me.  “Is that too much to ask?”  Vincent took his cock out of his jeans while still leaving them on and began caressing his enormous member.  He stroked the shaft a few times, and then circled the tip of his head with a purpose.  He was already hard, so I didn’t understand why he was taking the time to increase his erection, but obviously he did.  It was a sight to behold.  No men I knew would be so bold as to touch themselves.  It was an exquisitely delightful gesture.

Suddenly a vision of having him inside me surfaced.  My jaw dropped open and my knees weakened.

He joined me again on the bed.  Vincent took my hands in his and placed one on his cock.  My eyes grew wide and I relished the smoothness of his rod.  He was hard as steel, yet smooth as velvet.

“You’re magnificent,” I mumbled.  Did I really want this to happen?  I wanted to pull away again out of fear and I felt my breathing stop.  I was almost paralyzed by it all.

Before I could move, he pulled me to him, throwing one of his legs over my head and sat facing me.  His long legs were positioned on each side of me.  He grabbed at my elbows so I was almost sitting in his lap.  He threw my shirt open and tenderly caressed my breasts.  “It’s okay.  Relax and just enjoy my touch.  I won’t go any further than you desire.”

I bit down on my lips and felt tears forming in my eyes, not out of fear, but out of happiness.  I had always wanted a real man to be my first and I was so thankful now that I had maintained my virginity in the Golden Kingdom all my twenty-five years.  Vincent would be the man I’d give myself to.

He lowered his head and kissed the inside of my neck, letting his tongue travel up and down its side.  His touch was so warm and inviting.

My head collapsed on his shoulder when he drove a finger, then two into my pussy.

He kept his eyes on me the whole time.  We both felt the ecstasy of his slight penetration.  Inwardly I begged for more.  I gritted my teeth and inched closer towards him.

“Emily, wait,” he whispered.

“Please Vincent, I want this.  I’ve wanted this for so long.”  I took his long cock in my hands, spreading my legs wider in front of him so his fingers could do with me as they pleased.  I stroked him slowly at first, then faster, feeling our movements mimic each other’s rhythm.  “I’m ready to taste you, Vincent.”  I paused, waiting to see if my statement had registered with him.  I could barely hold on to not coming.  His fingers worked magic on my very moist pussy, and I was fine to let him continue if that was his wish.  But stroking his cock in my hands, hoping to dive in closer pushed my mind to madness.  I had to know what a vampire tasted like.  “Vincent,” I pleaded.

Quickly, without saying a word, he flipped me around so that I was facing his manhood one on one.  I straddled him in a 69 as he moved effortlessly beneath me and caressed my buttocks.  I kissed the top of his cock and then took him in my mouth, a little at first and then all the way, finding my mouth at the base of his cock.  The tip of his dick tickled the back of my throat.  My knees weakened and I sank closer to him.  I wanted to melt into his face.  I wanted my juices to run down his neck.

He held my thighs in his hands and devoured me with his tongue.

As I lavished the taste of him, moving up and down on his shaft, he spread my legs wider, and thrust his tongue into my pussy.  My nails dug into the fabric of his jeans.  No one had ever eaten me out there before.  I couldn’t believe it was happening.  I couldn’t believe any of this was happening.

I forced him further into my mouth, resuming my strokes with renewed enthusiasm.  With each long stroke of my sucking, I devoured him whole-heartedly.  I sucked insanely on his cock.  Now and again, he would push his cock deeper into my mouth, but finally he allowed me to take charge.  I must be doing a good job for a virgin, I thought to myself as I blew him.  I hated the boyfriends I had had who thought a blow job was an excuse for face fucking.  Vincent wasn’t like that apparently.

“Ah my sweet, you’ve done everything but fuck, haven’t you?  I can tell.  Just the kind of virgin I like.”  He slapped my ass a few times before he resumed his activity.

I was too preoccupied with loving his cock to answer or stop my progress.  I wanted him to come in my mouth, that was my new goal for the night, to taste the essence of a vampire.

When I felt him pull a shocker on me, all bets were off.  I knew I’d come instantly, but I didn’t want to before he did.  I wanted to taste him.  I didn’t want to be done.  How delicious did a vampire taste, I wondered.  How marvelous next to a werewolf?  Was there a difference?  How exquisite would Vincent’s come feel running down the back of my throat?

A gasp erupted from me and I struggled to keep my bent legs steady.

“Will you come for me, Emily?” Vincent asked.

I shook my head feverishly, trying not to release his cock from my mouth for a moment.

“Lovely,” he replied.  “You have a wonderful ass and pussy, Emily.  Truly wonderful.  Someday I will be inside you.”

His words filtered above the air as we continued to busy ourselves with our exploration of one another on the massive bed.  Carefully he plunged his index and middle fingers into my dripping pussy while his pinky finger penetrated my ass.

“I want you to come in my mouth,” he said as he kissed my pussy.  I felt his hot breath against the lips of my sex.

Shivers of warm ecstasy rippled through me.  His words were enough to make me come.  I struggled to hold back, hoping the moment would last forever.

“Not before you,” I replied, licking the tip of his cock and tracing my tongue down the length of his shaft before I cupped and kissed his balls.

“Such a naughty girl.  We’ll finish together then.”

I didn’t really know what that meant until he jerked me up in his arms, whirled me around, and plunged my hips upon his.  I screamed, reacting against the ecstasy I felt.  I was certain Vincent had plunged his cock into my pussy, and I wanted it.  I ever so wanted it.  But he had not.  I couldn’t fight the feelings electrifying through my body.

He clamped down on my knees as I straddled him.  His cock still pulsating beneath me.  “Are you willing, Emily, to someday be mine?”

Oh god, no, I thought.  I was so wet that I willingly accepted his invitation.  It was beyond words.  How could I not say yes to this man?  “Make us both come, Vincent,” I replied.  “You will be my first.  I swear it.”

His blue eyes blazed with passion.  “You will be mine.  And this is only the beginning.”

The moonlight blasted us with its light as if on cue.  We were bathed in a warm, glow of magical delight, one that I could not have fathomed before this night.  The lighted design above us turned a series of brilliant shades of amber and gold.  I gave myself completely to Vincent as he rubbed the head of his cock against the tip of my clit.  For a brief moment, I thought about pushing myself onto his rod.  I searched his face for a yes as he continued to tease me.

Then he plunged two of his fingers into my wetness of desire and caressed my clit with his thumb.  Without any shame, I watched as his muscular tanned arms pleasured me.  His biceps glistened in the moonlight and I caught a glimpse of his pendant sparking as it bounced against his chest.  It was in the shape of a crescent moon.

“You’re so wet,” he whispered in my ear.  “Your heat is phenomenal.”

“Yes.”  I groaned, grinding my hips against his, letting my body become his as he drove his fingers into me.

“Fuck me like that.  Oh yes, fuck me like that, Vincent.”  I dug my fingernails into the sheets, trying not to arch my back too high off the bed.  The sensation of his touch was mind blowing.

“Yes, that’s it,” he growled.

I latched my hands around his cock again.

However, another attack on Delilah and a dead body later, and Samson has his hands full: not only with trying to hide the fact he’s a vampire, but also with finding out what secrets Delilah harbors for somebody to want her harm.

It has been over a year since Part 3 – A Vampire on Vacation was published in July 2012.  Since then I have not released anything related to this series.  That’s a startling, and sobering fact, for me – even for my readers maybe– because for many months last year, I did not know if I’d return to writing this series.  I didn’t know if I’d keep writing at all.

With that being said, I have returned to the keyboard and will be releasing “The Vampire from Hell Returns (Part 4)” next month on Oct. 20th. (Join the Facebook Release Party.)  I’m very excited to continue Rayea’s story, at least for three more installments, and I’m delighted to say that, for bad or worse, I’m past the first obstacle I encountered during my first year of writing.  And I’m not looking back.  It may not always be smooth sailing from now on, but that’s okay because I’ll keep sailing.  I’m hoping many of you will join me for the ride.

Read An Excerpt

This excerpt features Michael, the arch angel Rayea (vampire heroine) falls for. I based Michael’s character on Alexander Skarsgard of course. Enjoy! ~ally

A drop of blood from my busted lip landed on Michael’s white T-shirt.  I groaned with pleasure.

“When was the last time you fed this vampire?” Michael asked.

Hearing the word ‘vampire,’ my attention snapped back to Michael’s face, and I snarled at him.  I wanted to devour this angel in my sights.

“You’ve got some long fangs there, Vampire.  What are those?  An inch and a half, maybe two?”  Michael managed a small, tentative smile despite the threat I posed.316796_250841628301339_240931305959038_771410_1598242809_n

I watched his every move, ready to strike, but feeling a force hold me back.  “Blood,” I replied.  I could hear it pumping in his veins, through his temples, and down the side of his neck.  His pulse reminded me of the waves slamming against the rocks.  An image of my rocking in his lap to that rhythmic dance surfaced in my mind, riding him, grinding against him over and over until…  To have him inside me, I thought.

The voice inside my head said, “Grab your popcorn!  This is gonna be good!

“Rayea, please calm down,” Blick interjected as he carefully approached us.  “We can’t make a scene.”

“I think it’s a little late for that,” Michael said.

“What do we do?” Blick asked him.

“I told you she needs blood.”

I nodded, staring at Michael.  Yes, she does, I thought.  That and a lot more.

The voice inside my head asked, “She needs blood!  Why did we not think of that before?

“You’re right.  God, I’m an idiot!  I’m the worst guardian angel ever!” Blick exclaimed, throwing up his hands.  “But she can’t have mine or yours for that matter.  J won’t approve it.”  He collapsed in a chair, behind Michael, shaking his head.  “Rayea, I’ve failed you.”

Michael looked over at him.  “Get a grip, man.  We move to Plan B.  Grab those items and I’ll take her to the living room.”

“Tasssty,” I hissed and smacked my lips when I witnessed Michael’s adam’s apple showing as he leaned his head back to speak to Blick.

Cautiously returning his attention to me, Michael said, “Look into my eyes.” The warmth of his smile echoed in his voice.  I stared at him, mesmerized by the ocean-blue color of his eyes.  Instantly, I felt relaxed, sane, and willing to submit to his will.

Great, the vampire is going googoo for the angel.

Shut up, I snapped at the voice inside my head.  He’s adorable. I sighed and returned his smile.

“If this doesn’t work, you can ask Gabriel to help out,” Michael said to Blick.

“Not funny,” Blick said.

Michael shrugged.  Sweeping me off the table, he gathered me in his arms and announced, “Let’s do this.”

Without any resistance, I floated into the living room as the angel carried me.  Isn’t he dreamy? I thought.

The voice inside my head responded, “You better latch your mouth around something on that angel or I will!

Michael positioned me on the large, comfy leather couch.  He was talking to me, but I didn’t pay any attention.  I was fascinated with the movement of his arms, the way his neck curved from side to side as he and Blick conversed.  I looked at Blick, and then Michael many times as I admired how both angels were attractive in their own right.  Were all angels beautiful? I wondered.  The roar of the ocean called me and I let the feeling pull me under into a heavenly bliss.

MATURE ADULT CONTENT – These stories, featuring vampires and werewolves, are for mature audiences only. They contain adult language, violence, and strong sexual content including some light bondage situations. All characters depicted in these stories are 18 years or older, and all sexual activities are of a consensual nature.

Gently he ran his fingers across the side of my face.

I leaned into his large hand, unable to resist the sexual magnetism that made him so confident for a vampire.  My powers to fight him had steadily faded each night we made love.  I raised my chin, exposing the contours of my vulnerable neck to him, knowing it would please him if I finally surrendered.  “So be it,” I muttered.

“Even if you survive, they will kill us if I turn you.”  His fingers laced around strands of my blonde hair as it cascaded over the contours of my firm breasts.  He squeezed one of the nipples hard.

A low moan slipped past my lips.  “We could leave this place,” I whispered.  “Together.”

I immediately wrapped my hands around his cock.  He was hard as steel, yet smooth as velvet.  When he throbbed in my grasp, it sent me to my knees.

Slowly I took him in my mouth as I placed my hands behind my back, offering my complete obedience.  If it was to be my last night on earth, I wanted it to be perfect.  Surely the presence of the full moon would ensure a successful change.  But a vampire turning a werewolf?  Was it possible?

As I lavished the taste of him, moving up and down on his shaft, he spread his toned legs wider, slightly bending his knees.

Victoria Embers

I split my time between being a stay-at-home mom and reading paranormal romance. I think good romance should make you purr while good steamy romance should make you scream, but in a good way of course. Because I love vampires AND werewolves, I wanted to write a series featuring both, and see what naughty situations they find themselves in. I’m currently writing a novella series called My Vampire Lover with a blend of paranormal romance, fantasy, and erotica featuring, you guessed it, vampires and werewolves.

If you liked this snippet and want to learn more about my novella series, My Vampire Lover, please visit my Amazon Author page at Amazon US or Amazon UK. I’ll be posting a snippet each Wednesday while participating in this blog hop. If you stop by either Amazon page, please give it a Like. Thanks!

It’s Live! Randi Fang’s second erotic vampire confession interview is live on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. She provided a couple of excerpts below for you to explore. (The second one is seriously hot!)

About Tasted (Erotic Vampire Confessions #2)

In Tasted, I was tasked with a spontaneous interview that I didn’t want to deal with. Since my translator, Sim had already volunteered me for the task, I had to proceed with interviewing a vampire couple who were on the run because the newly turned female, Amelia had killed a demon, one of the seven Princes of Hell.

Desire (Erotic Vampire Confessions #1) by Randi FangDesire_1_EVC_alt2

If you haven’t checked out the first story, Desire (Erotic Vampire Confessions #1), you can download it for FREE at the following links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

In “Desire,” Randi Fang explores this subject what makes a vampire tick with her first vampire to interview, a fan of the fang whom Randi calls simply Rose. Rose has a chance encounter with an actor who plays a vampire and discovers he’s “into” being bitten.

Excerpt from “Tasted”

Interview by Randi Fang with Amelia and Damon, both vampires, madly in love, and on the run.  Recorded May 2, 2013 at an undisclosed location.

Max and I sat for a very long time on the hood of my Porsche SUV.  I knew the two vampires were in the woods, but they didn’t want to appear.  When midnight rolled around and the full moon surfaced behind the night clouds, I knew we’d probably get to meet them.  I drove the vehicle closer to the trees, parking it with the headlights facing out towards the clearing.  We’d be able to see any presence if a demon showed up.  I knew this forest well because I had used it many times for my hunts.  It had a large ravine at the other end.  No demon would climb rocks to make a surprise appearance.  Demons were lazy and not especially bright.

I jumped out of the SUV and opened the front and back passenger doors.  Then I returned to the vehicle.  “Max,” I said as I left my driver door open.  “Get out and stand here by me.  If you smell anything weird, nudge me.  Okay?”

He did as I requested with little hesitancy, glancing back at me with his gleaming gold eyes.

I turned off the engine and the headlights.  The moon was shining, so there was some light illuminating us.  I sighed with relief.  Let’s do this, I thought to myself.  I couldn’t count the creepy ways I had met vampires for interviews.  Some could be as human as the next person, meeting in a bar or coffee shop.  Others, the really old ones, were downright weird.  Ancient, I thought.  That’s what it is.  They don’t know better.  “We need to do this people,” I said to the night.

I saw an image flash out of the corner of my eye.  Someone had hopped into the front passenger seat.  Then another weight shifted the SUV and I felt the back passenger seat fill with a presence.

“Randi?” a male voice asked.

“Yes,” I replied, feeling an overwhelming draw to his masculinity.  He was indeed a vampire, not a demon.  I breathed in slowly.  Dear lord, what have I gotten myself into.

“Sim said you could help us.”

I nodded, not moving my hands from the steering wheel.  I had learned vampires could be very jumpy if they were as panicked as I sensed these two were.  The male sitting next to me seemed very protective.  Very protective.  It flowed off of him in waves.  The female was clearly shaken, confused, and a new vampire.

“Show your fangs please,” the male vampire commanded.

I did as he requested.  The blood flamed in my veins and I felt an immediate attraction to this man without even seeing him yet.  I had heard some vampires possessed a heightened sex appeal, and this guy had it in droves.  Trying to forget a feeling of nakedness that was washing over me, I let my fangs remain visible.  Let’s do this, I shouted in my mind, wondering if the vampire could hear me.  My patience was growing very thin.  We were either going to talk or I was going to jump the man’s bones as the newbie vampire girl could watch.  I exhaled again slowly.  My blood smoothie was just kicking in.

Excerpt from Amelia’s Confession (as part of her interview with Randi) – FOR MATURE READERS ONLY 18+

“What will they do to us if we are caught?”

His brown eyes glazed over.  He turned his attention to my disarrayed dress and gently smoothed the wrinkles away, refusing to answer.

I can fight any demon who gets in my way,” I snapped.

Slowly he moved his hands, giving me a low grunt of disbelief.

As I flattened out the ruffles in my lap, I marveled at how warm his touch was, how satisfying and soothing.

They’ll kill us both if we don’t escape soon enough.

As Damon paused in front of me, I asked him mentally, “So we have to have sex first, you meet your father, and then we can leave.”

Yes,” he replied.  Then he yelled for the others’ benefit, “Get this dress off bitch, my cock can’t wait forever.  Fucking whore of a human.”

He chuckled again, this time with a sincerity he had lacked before.  He glanced at me and winked, pointing at the door.  Then a deadly passion surface in his eyes.  He sighed loudly.  “Are you ready,” he whispered tenderly.

After a few moments, I waited for his next move.  His disposition was unpredictable and I didn’t know if he was going to kiss me on the forehead or break me in half.

“Remove your dress,” he commanded.

Before I could undress, Damon pulled out his large cock, grunting as he began stroking it quickly.  I watched in fear.  Was he going to plunge that thing inside me?  Damon spread his legs, leaning into his strokes and continued jacking himself off.  Suddenly he stopped and approached me.  He pushed his hands pass my dress and found the folds of my pussy.  With one hand, he continued to stroke his cock.  With the other, he fingered me, only stopping now and then to run his wet fingers over the head of his cock.  Damon grunted and growled as he rocked, crouched before me.  His eyes turned blood red as his head fell forward from pleasure, and then he would continue his stroking, getting faster each time.

He was already hard when he had presented himself to me, so I didn’t understand why he was taking the time to increase his erection.  Obviously he did.  And I wasn’t complaining.  Suddenly I was thrilled to watch him.  He was a sight to behold.  No men I knew would be so bold as to touch themselves, much less excite themselves to mind-maddening delights.  It was an exquisitely delightful, yet sinister scene.

Suddenly a vision of having him inside me surfaced.  My jaw dropped open and my stomach flip-flopped.  I remained sitting on the bed as I unzipped the back of my dress and slid it over my shoulders.  When he stood up in front of me, his cock was as hard as glass.  It nearly hit me in the face.  I marveled at its width, its length.  My god, I thought.  Now that’s a vampire.  On the bed, I froze forgetting what I was doing, forgetting I was almost completely nude before this magnificent vampire.

He growled and ripped my dress away in one yank.  Damon took my hands in his and placed them on his cock.  My eyes grew wide and I relished the smoothness of his rod.  He was hard as steel, yet smooth as velvet.

EXCERPT from Redemption (The following excerpt is for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY)
He smiled at me smugly and focused his attention on my hips.  I followed his gaze.  He wrapped both of his hands around mine as I held his cock against my naked belly.  He stroked my hands, and then opening up the palms of his large hands, he quietly encouraged me to assume the task.  When I took charge, he mumbled, “You’re stronger than you think.”
A fever of blushes covered my face.  “Oh my goodness, did I hurt you?”  I wanted to blush again, but his declaration, that he felt something quite literally when he had met me surfaced in my mind and sent me into oblivion.  True love.  I gazed up at him, marveling at the look of pleasure on his face.  True love.
He moaned and rocked his hips gently into my hands.
I rubbed the head of his cock with my thumb, feeling a sweet stickiness at the tip.
Raphael moved his hand between my thighs and rubbed my clit, his fingers pumping inside me a few times.
My hips met his movements and I groaned, feeling the warmth of his manhood slide between my legs.
“I don’t want to control these feelings I have for you.”  He gathered me up in his arms.  “I don’t know where they came from.  Maybe it was the wolf chant that did it.  I don’t know for sure, but I know I feel this.”
A slight smile crossed his lips.  He embraced me tightly and then picked me up in his arms.
I placed my hand over his heart.  “True love,” I whispered as the words expelled out of my mouth in the form of a few short breaths.  Could it be?
“This can’t be wrong, Caroline.  I don’t want to deny the possibility of the love we can have.  Say you agree?”
“I think I already love you, Raphael.  I’ve never known anyone like you.  You’re a glorious, magnificent vampire.”
When I felt his easing himself into me, my body melted.  “Oh my god, yes,” I cried out.  “Yes!  Yes!” Wanting to increase our pace, I started to ride him with a newborn intensity.  The warmth of his blood raced through my veins.  “I’m yours,” I cried out.  “I’m yours!”
“Shh,” he said.  “Don’t listen to my blood.  I don’t want you to be my servant or blood source.  Equal.” With his muscular arms, he brought me up and down a time or two, shifting the rhythm of lovemaking to a slower urgency.  “I want us to be equals.  I want to cherish this moment forever.  I want to look in your eyes as I’m inside you and know if we are never to be together again we had this one moment, out here in this wasteland.”
“By this rock,” I purred, letting him assume control.
“Not too fast, my sweet.  Savor this feeling.”
I smiled down into his striking, pale blue eyes, watching how they glowed in the low light.  His dark eyelashes fluttered now and again, but he refused to take his eyes off of me as we made love in such a desolate place.  I grew hotter by the minute witnessing the desire in his stare.  I studied him.  There was an inherent strength in his features, almost a haughtiness I could visualize him giving to others he disliked. For me, in that moment, that strength was etched across his face with a look of devotion and confidence I had never seen before.  The turquoise blue in his eyes brought out a growing passion I could see that was all for me.  This could be my destiny, being with this man forever.  If I was as bold as I had just been taking him in my hands, a future with this vampire could be in my grasp.  But it meant sacrificing everything. Just for him.
When I felt myself about to climax, my head fell backwards and I gave myself up to him completely.  I let him lead the way and delighted in the ecstasy of his deliberately slow pace.  Waves of warmth rushed through my body as I neared orgasm.  I’ll remember this moment forever.
“Slowly, my sweet.  Slowly.”
I screamed the first time I came.  His hands rhythmically worked my hips up and down on his cock, refusing to stop.  He increased the speed of his movements ever so slightly.  I was helpless to stop his lovely hastened pace.  My heart raced rapidly and I wanted to slam my body into his, feverishly, insanely, erotically like I was in control of him, like he was there to please me and only me.
“Shhh,” he said.  He gathered me close against his chest.  “That’s the blood talking.  Don’t listen to that. It’ll pass.  Focus on this.”  He pulled me upwards and let me slide down again on his massive manhood. “Come for me again, Caroline.”

EXCERPT from Conquest (This excerpt is also for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY)

I felt his warm, wet tongue dart in my mouth, sucklingly my bottom lip. A sting of pain surfaced.

I shrieked, quickly pulling away from him.

He held me fast in his arms. Our eyes locked.

Again I tasted the sweetness of blood, but this time it was my own. Carefully, I licked my bottom lip where he had bitten me.

Another gleam from the moon shone upon his face, his bright eyes sparkled with a savage knowledge beyond lust and desire, one of sheer hunger. He would be mine.

Before I could stop him, he slashed at his well-toned chest with his nails. Lines of blood formed across his muscles.

“Drink of me.”

Then he resumed fucking me fiercely, refusing to stop.

I stared at the streams of blood rolling down his chest as I rode him. The wolf in me instantly awoke. Warm rushes of power and hunger rose up in me. The wolf was coming for me and I wouldn’t be able to deny him.

“Let it go,” my vampire lover whispered into the night. “Drink of me. I’ll make you queen when Father dies and we’ll rule this kingdom together despite them.”

The moon bathed him in its lush glow and I couldn’t resist marveling at his naked form. He was exquisite. His thick, muscular chest glistened with blood and sweat and I held on to his shoulders as I drove my hips down upon his, feeling his magnificent cock serge deep inside me. Each stride I took sent me ever closer to him forever. I took his mouth with a savage intensity I had never known and then I lavished my kisses upon his chest, licking his blood and sweat in long, broad laps.

We will be together.

I leaned my head back, exposing my neck completely. “Do it. Do it now. He’s here!”

Answering my request, he pulled me into his embrace and sank his teeth into my neck.

I cried out, instantly thrusting myself upwards to meet his fanged kiss. A flood of raw, electrifying sensations exploded inside me and multiple orgasms rocketed through me.

He lifted me slightly off the bed and he drank from me, holding me gently in his arms the whole time.

I pressed my back into his firm hands and focused on meeting his tempo as I rode him. The room began to spin. Blood trickled down my chest, running past my belly button and along the inside of my thighs. A delightful shiver of fear passed through me as my vampire shuddered and came inside me. I will be his.

 

Friday Freebie: Free ebook, Giveaway, & Confession by Ally Thomas

Ally Thomas, an Amazon Bestseller author in Fantasy and writer of the paranormal fantasy series, the Vampire from Hell sent me a text the other day and said she was coming out. I stopped for a moment because Ally is straight and married. I texted her back and asked her what she meant exactly. “About the pen name stuff,” she replied.

Many of Ally’s fans have been wondering why Ally stopped writing on her popular series, the Vampire from Hell last summer. After she released “A Vampire on Vacation (The Vampire from Hell – Part 3)”, Ally seemed to take an extended vacation herself. Oddly enough she has been busy writing in between everything else, but not on what we’d expect her to be writing. Continue the interview below.

Interview with Ally Thomas

Randi: I’ve gotta ask you straight up. What happened? You pushed the deadline for Part 4 of the Vampire from Hell series several times last year. People now wonder if you are coming back with anymore in the series. Are you?

Ally: I am coming back with the series. My heroine, Rayea is my favorite subject, hands down. I know it’s upsetting to my fans that I have taken so long to get the next installment out.  And I apologize for making them wait, but it’ll be worth it. I can tell now it’s going to be a much better installment than the one I accidentally deleted in October 2012. I’ve got my confidence back writing as Rayea.

Randi: Excuse me, did you say deleted?!

Ally: Yes. I probably shouldn’t admit this. I really nose-dived into self doubt or writer’s block last year. Deleting a book certainly didn’t help. I always thought that writer’s block was a lame excuse for a writer to use until I experienced it first hand. I’m not sure what happened after Part 3 was released last July. Maybe I burned myself out.  Getting laid off at Christmas only added more to my situation. I’m happy to say I’m writing again and that’s all that matters. I’m working on Part 4, but I’d be lying to you if I said I’ve been working on it all this time.

Randi: So you haven’t then?

Ally: I’ve been exploring new ideas and contemplating writing under pseudonyms.  While Rayea’s stories are my first love, I realized late last year that I had hit a brick wall with my writing. I needed a break and wanted a new challenge. When I accidentally deleted the old version of Part 4, I flipped out. Later I realized it was a sign. I needed to re-evaluate things. I started playing around with the idea of a paranormal romance after Christmas.

Randi: Okay, so what did you do? You’re being very vague still, Ally. Come on. Spill it!

Ally: I have several author friends who write exclusively in paranormal romance and erotica. I create covers for them and format their paperbacks so I got curious after skimming sections of their books. I wanted to see if I too could write something ‘romancy’ as I put it. My focus has been fantasy and sci-fi and that’s what I wanted to write with the Vampire from Hell series. Romance, even erotic romance is so different. My strengths are dialogue while writing description is a challenge for me. I had to write lots of description in romance so I read some ‘How To’ books and got to work. I’m not sure I’m any good at it yet, but I’m exploring. I like how different it is and I love to hear from readers. Finding out what they like about your romance ebook is very informative. Reader feedback has always been fun! I think I needed the distraction of challenging myself to write something  out of my comfort zone in order to find my way back to the Vampire from Hell series.

Randi: I thought you wrote Young Adult. You don’t consider the Vampire from Hell a YA series?

Ally: No, I don’t consider the Vampire from Hell series YA. I don’t market any of my books in that series as YA. Rayea curses a lot and talks about all of her boyfriends she has sex with. She may not go into details, but someday she might. Rayea has a complicated sex life, remember? I think of it as paranormal fantasy, not Young Adult.

Randi: So how did you approach this idea of writing a paranormal romance?

Ally: Being a movie buff, I watched a lot of romantic movies. I talked with a few romance author friends of mine a lot, so much so I probably annoyed them. Finally I figured out a story I liked, the language I wanted to use, and went with it. I did a test run (releasing a story in February) that seemed to go over nicely and now I’m back at it with another installment of the story for a release later this summer.

Randi: A test run? What do you mean?

Ally: I released the first novella under an unknown pen name., not related to my name.

Randi: Okay, I’m lost. Not Eva Thomas?

Ally: Under a different pseudonym. Different person, social networking sites, blog, website, everything. No, not Eva J. Thomas.

Randi: You are seriously sneaky. Two pen names instead of one. Wow, you have been a busy girl. What’s this other pen name?

Ally: Some people know, but I’m not telling publicly just yet. Some of my friends and street team members know. I’m only sharing the Eva J. Thomas pen name today because several of my author friends thought my story had been stolen. And they guessed the Virgin Moon cover was one I’d do. That was the sinker. I realized I needed to tell everyone what I had been up to since last summer.

Randi: So let me get this straight. You released the same story under two pen names? Eva and this secretive one?

Ally: Something like that. Two stories by two pen names. Everything is copyrighted under my name. The stories start off similar, but end up going in other directions. I played around with the plot and the sex scenes in Eva’s version are way hotter in my opinion. I will have to say that if you have read the other story (written under the unknown pen name) and you read Eva’s Virgin Moon you will see some similarity. I’ve been practicing and working up the nerve to write more explicit. That was a tough hurdle for me to jump creatively let’s say. Writing in the Romance genre has been a lot of fun and I think it’s improved my writing too. I’m more patient with description now. At least I hope I am.

Randi: Okay so we should ask our readers then if you are a reader of Ally Thomas and know this other pen name she writes under, please don’t share it online.

Ally: Yes, please. Ask them not to share it. The Eva one I’m attaching my name to so people will see that both of us are collaborating on some books. I’m sure I’ll talk about the other pen name at some point. Right now, I’m asking those who know to not share that info.

Randi: So what genre do you like writing in most then? Fantasy or Romance? Or Erotica?

Ally: That’s a great question because I’ve been wondering that myself. Possibly Fantasy and Horror are my favorite genres, but I think I’m going to say that I love the variety of writing in several genres and having the courage to do it. As an Indie Author, I can decide what I want to do and how to market my books. Somewhere along the way I lost my confidence as an author. I don’t mean I forgot how to write, but I struggled to write what I wanted to write. I thought I should write what others wanted me to do. It dawned on me a few days ago when I managed to sneak in writing on the upcoming Part 4 of the Vampire from Hell series in between a training delivery for a client just how much I love the first series I ever wrote. Looking back, it brings so many memories to mind when I published that first short story called “The Vampire from Hell (Part 1) – The Beginning” January 2011. Seven thousand words. It was an absolutely insane idea to release such a short book. Had I put that story in romance, they would have killed me over the short length and I would have crumbled under any negative reviews. But I have never regretted that move. It’s been free all this time and it’s the best move I ever made. I know that now. As an Indie Author, I can explore new avenues and ways to write every day. Also I’ve been fascinated to see that the ebook market is changing. New Indie Authors are publishing stories, novels, novellas every day defining the length. To some, 100,000 words is a novel. To another, 30,000 words is a novella. If readers are open to the experience, they get to enjoy that author’s contribution. Amazon even has this new thing called Kindle Serials where authors publish an ongoing serialization of a story idea.

Randi: Is that where the serial romance idea came from then? Your first Eva story is an ‘episode’.

Ally: Possibly. I liked the idea of a romance in episodes. As you know, I write parts of the Vampire from Hell series. Installments. I can’t write long works. Beginning/Middle/End. The traditional way. That is another confession or realization I made over these long months. I’d love to be able to sit down and write 100,000 word novel. Maybe some day I will. For now my length is anywhere from 25,000 to 55,000 words per ebook. I’ve been wrestling with trying to fit in more as an author, trying to do approaches that work for others. But it’s not me. I’m not going to write massively long books and I need to own up to that, privately and officially. I want to find that courage I had in late 2011 and approach my writing (whether it is as Ally Thomas or some other name) and than means me standing up to some personal demons I’ve been fighting with. I never realized how much it would take daily to promote myself as an author when I first started out. Now I know and I have to be ready for it so it doesn’t consume me again. I’ve gotta approach writing the way I want to or I won’t last at it.

Randi: That makes sense. It sounds like you have been figuring out a lot of things so are you ready to tell us more about Virgin Moon?

Ally: Absolutely and I included an excerpt too.

About Virgin Moon

Let’s learn what “Virgin Moon” is about…

Vincent, the rebel vampire son of the dark lord Alichino, receives Emily, a virgin werewolf as a playmate. He wants no part of his father’s latest toy until he looks into the virgin’s eyes and feels his heart respond. Vincent realizes he must escape with the werewolf beauty who has awakened his heart before she’s found or dies at the hands of his evil father. (Word count 28,500)

Virgin Moon is the first episode in an erotic werewolf/vampire romance by Ally Thomas, author of the paranormal fantasy series, the Vampire from Hell series. As a sideline writing project, Ally Thomas decided in 2013 to write a paranormal erotica novella series under the pen name Eva J. Thomas in between her other paranormal series. More episodes will follow.

Randi: I like Vincent. He sounds very delicious. Tall, dark, and handsome with blue eyes.

Ally: Lol! I suppose so. I had to write my vampire hero, the man Emily falls in love with as a dark and mysterious vampire with a compassionate heart.

Randi: What was it like writing in a werewolf heroine?

Ally: I enjoyed it actually. I know that’s hard to imagine since we are vampire fans, but I’m starting to embrace the ‘fur’ *wink* and I had fun with Emily’s character and the transformation ideas. I’m excited to see where it takes me for this story.

Excerpt from “Virgin Moon” (A Werewolf/Vampire Serial Romance, Episode #1) – ADULT CONTENT WARNING
“Are you a virgin?” Vincent ran his hands through his shortly cropped wavy black hair and scratched his scruffy beard, obviously waiting for me to respond in some fashion. I noticed he stared for a few moments at my opened thighs. His shirt was the only clothing I had on. Finally he crisscrossed his hands behind his head and simply watched me.
I wanted to lie and say that I wasn’t a virgin, but drinking in his handsome presence, I couldn’t deny him the truth. I wouldn’t be able to deny him anything I realized. My inner core surged with hot desire for him. I swallowed down my fears. “Yes,” I finally said. “But I’m experienced.” With that utterance, I hoped Vincent would understand what I meant.

He laughed, low and seductive. A smile swept across his face and his eyes brightened. Slowly he raised an eyebrow at me. “Indeed?” he whispered. “You find me attractive, don’t you?”

“Yes,” I replied feeling a bulge in his pants meet the curve of my buttocks as I rested upon him.

Vincent gently ran his fingers across the side of my face. He had amazing blue eyes, angular features, a perfectly shaped nose and square jaw. He was breathtaking.
When he touched me, I froze, unable to resist his sexual magnetism as he stared up at me. His eyes surely held the secrets to worlds beyond my comprehension. No one told me vampires would be so tempting. It was more than I could handle. Or was it? I pushed the naughty thought to the back of my mind.

“I promise to be gentle. I only want a taste. Will you allow me that, Emily?”

My heart again shattered when he said my name. I moaned as his large hands found my neck. He tugged lightly on my hair as he plunged his hands into the cascades of my long curly blond hair. My neck extended upwards and I was forced to look away from him. I was held captive in his embrace. His hands held me powerless as he gripped the back of my neck and the small of my back. The safety of the shirt I wore failed me and the front of my body was clearly exposed to this man, this vampire. My face reddened with shame and I forced my eyes open, looking upward. The lighted design of the warrior with his wolf returned my gaze. It was the most beautiful artwork I had ever seen. An offering of harmony between the two supernatural beings. Was such a thing possible? Instantly I felt my body relax under the vampire’s touch.

EXCERPT from Desire:

My first interview is with a vampire we will call ‘Rose.’  I’m not going to ‘out’ her and tell you who she is.  You may have read her blog because, like me, she is online a lot and she loves to write or blog I guess.  If you haven’t read my blog, I can tell you her father was demon, one of the seven Princes of Hell actually and he turned her.  Soon after their relationship ended badly.  Probably because she ripped his heart out.  Literally.  We vampires tend to have an issue with anger management.

She doesn’t have a loving relationship with her family.  Even before killing her father, she was the outcast.  Her friends, human and vampire alike, have become the people she cares about.  Her real family.  Our first interview is below.

Interview Begins

Interview by Randi Fang with ‘Rose,’ blogger, vampire, lover of mankind.  Recorded September 15, 2011 at a café in Union Square, San Francisco, CA.

Me:  Hi Rose, thanks so much for joining me for this interview.  I really appreciate your being available.  You’re very kind to open up your busy schedule for me.

Rose arched an eyebrow at me and did that infamous clicking noise with her teeth.

Rose: What are you talking about?  I see you all the time.  Why are you acting like we don’t know each other?

Me:  I’m an idiot.  I’m sorry.  Have you thought about what I asked you to do?

Rose:  Coming up with a few confessions I can share with your readers?

Me:  Yes.

Rose:  I have actually.  I have one to tell you about really.  A juicy one.  I hope this is what you are looking for.  It’s not too freaky.  You said to not start with anything freaky, right?

Me:  That’s right.  That sounds great!  But just one?  I thought you’d have more than that.

Politely I smile at Rose as I notice her green eyes sparkle brilliantly in the low light setting of the cafe.  I arrived early and found a table for us in the back away from the holiday crowds.

Rose nodded and dipped her finger in the cup of green tea sitting before her.  I motioned to a waiter and pointed at my empty cup of soda.

Rose: I wasn’t sure what I wanted to tell you at first, so I thought one would work for now.  I can give you more later.  You know?  So what are we supposed to do here?

Me:  You talk and I’ll record.  I may ask you a question or two here or there, but I don’t want to interrupt you to break the flow of the story.  Okay?

Rose’s green eyes grew lazy as she studied me.  Hastily she dried off her index finger and reached for her iPhone when a text message came in.

Rose:  Just a second.

She pushed up the sleeves of her long black fitted knit top.  I noticed the skull image on the front of the shirt looked oddly out of proportion.  Rose is a very attractive lady, even though she doesn’t spend a lot of time on fixing herself up.  It’s a natural sort of beauty, high cheekbones, full lips, a little button nose, long shiny black hair, and a toned physique held in a slender frame for her 5’ 9” height.  I surmised to look away before I become more envious.  If she was bi-curious at all, I’d invite her to some of my events, but I knew better than to bring it up.  Rose loved the cock.  Period.

I glanced up at Rose as she held a hand in front of me, staring at her phone as her thumb blurs in motion.  I flipped through my notebook hoping to pretend I was looking at my questions instead of her beauty.

The waiter brought me a fresh soda and I noticed Rose’s attention shifted to the table.

Rose: How can you drink that stuff?  It looks nasty and it hisses.

Me: How can you drink blood tea?

I pointed to the greenish yellow liquid in her cup.

Me:  My beverage looks weirder than that?

She rolled her eyes at me, a gesture I have seen on more than one occasion.  Briefly she nodded and ignored me as she resumed playing with her phone.  I waited for her to respond to a few more text messages and emails.  Then I took my life in my own hands.  The legends about Rose being a vampire who had tasted angel and god blood intrigued me.  I knew she was far more powerful than I’d ever hope to be, but as our interviews began I had to test the boundaries I had with her.

Me:  You’re going to have to turn that off.  I need your full attention.

I raised a knowing eyebrow at her and let a devilish grin cross my face.

Me:  Please.

She shook a finger at me and I bit my lip briefly when I witness the length of her long nail.  It reminded me of a hawk’s talon.  My fangs are not nearly as long or impressive, but I pressed my luck a little further.

Rose:  Nice try.  I’ll mute it.  That’s the best I can do.  If I miss one task from my superiors, there will be Hell to pay.  You get me?

Me:  Fair enough.  I thought it was worth a try.

I smiled at her without letting my eyes engage hers and realized that this interview was going to be a tough one with distractions.   Getting the first story would have to be enough for now.  Rose was a very complicated vampire, one who thought she was out to save the world, a mission I would never want to assume.

She sensed my concern immediately and patted me on the hand, knowing I’ll like it.

Rose:  Pussycat, I wrote everything down.  You can sit there and sip your fizzy drink and just listen.  How’s that?

Me:  Perfect.

I relaxed, putting the heels of my black leather books on the rung of the chair next to her, and pushed the Record button on my device.

Rose:  I hope it’s okay.  I decided to change the players’ names.  So I wouldn’t be discovered.  Is that fine?

I nodded ‘yes,’ and then raised the cold soda to my lips.  Rose was the James Bond of all vampires.  I knew better than to disagree with her on even the slightest issue.

Rose:  After our talk the other day about what makes us, vampires tick, I think I have to agree with you.  It’s blood and sex.  Either is on my mind every minute of the day unless someone is trying to kill me or harm a friend of mine.  So that’s what this first story is about.  Does that work for you?

Again I nodded approvingly.
