This week, we take a peak into my MM paranormal romance, Cupid's Revenge
 

Liam had removed his shoes and socks, lining the shoes perfectly under his bed on his side of the room. He then neatly folded his socks, before dropping them down the laundry chute near the door. He followed with his jacket, shirt, undershirt and tie, all folded perfectly before sliding them down the stainless steel slide. 

He rolled up his belt after freeing it from his pants, placing it carefully into his underwear drawer. His pants went the same way as his clothes, precisely folded before being sent away.  

Ethan had had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing. He had ripped his own clothes off hastily, bundling them up before throwing the lot down the chute in one messy pile. 

Liam glared at him, looking like he had wanted to say something, but held his tongue. That was until he had turned his back and spotted the stray sock that had fallen from Ethan’s pile of washing. 

“Pick. That. Up.” He angrily punctuated each word through tightly clenched teeth, all while pointing a finger at the offending article of
clothing. 

Ethan purposefully eyed the sock with disinterest and then looked back at Liam. He crossed his arms over his chest in challenge.
 “Make me.” 

Liam’s face reddened, his eyes narrowing as he clenched and unclenched his fists by his side. He stepped forward, toe to toe with Ethan, who dropped his arms and allowed him to get as close as he pleased. While Liam might not have caught on yet, the coarse curly hairs on his chest were teasing Ethan’s small pink nipples, hardening them to rock hard peaks. Ethan’s cock thickened to half-mast at the mere closeness of Liam’s musky scented skin…so close, just a breath away.

Cupid's Revenge is available now from EXtasy Books, Amazon, and all good ebook stores

Welcome to another week of Hump Day Hook
And what a week I have in store for you!
This week is an adult's 18+ week, so if you are younger, please click the banner below and check out some of the other awesome authors teasers.
 
 
For my steamy teaser this week, we once again visit my ménage romance, Hollys' Healing
 
In this scene, Dean is tempted to his limits.
 
 
"You should smell her, bro. She smells so sweet and musky. I can’t wait to taste her, but I want you to first."
Wade captured Holly’s slim wrist and pulled it down to her glistening heat.
"Give him a taste, baby. Let him feel your honey on his tongue while I make you come."
Holly’s breath hitched. Without hesitation, she ran her fingers along her splayed sex, gathering moisture as she did so. She looked up at Dean, her fingers held out in offering to him.

#2 My Sexy Saturday with Holly's Healing, @ellen__cross #MySexySaturday

Welcome to the second week of My Sexy Saturday!
Click on the banner below, to check out more sexy little snippets, whether seven words, sentences, or paragraphs from other brilliant authors, all keen to share small tastes of their work with you, for free!
 
 
For my snippet today, I have chosen to add seven sentences from my bestselling ménage romance, Holly's Healing.
 
In this scene, Holly is taking her first taste of Wade.
His muscular contours, while firmly defined, were incredibly warm and soft beneath her seeking fingertips. The dusky covering of dark curly hair over the centre of his chest trailed off to a thin line leading down beneath the opening of his jeans. The hair tickled her palm as she sifted it through her fingers, mapping the planes of his body with her touch. Each inch she caressed pushed her own need higher, her panties moistening as she drew his unique and heady scent into her lungs. Like a drug, it rushed through her core, firing sensations along the way. She craved more, craved him in a way she had never felt in her life before. Her mind shut down to all but the most primal of needs, and by God she was going to get her fill before she awakened and found this had all been just a dream.

#HDH Hump Day visits Cupid's Revenge with @ellen__cross

Welcome to this week's Hump Day Hook!
 
To keep rocking on with more hooks after you have finished here, click on the banner below


This week, I am diving deep into Cupid's Revenge, my m/m paranormal romance!
 
 
In this scene, Ethan is sensually teasing Liam while he watches, but refuses to let himself touch.

Ethan chuckled. “Pushy one, aren’t you?” He
lifted his hips, stabbing his steely length into his
slippery tight fist. Just knowing Liam was there
watching, hungering as he instructed him on how
to touch himself, made the pleasure all that more
intense. He was sure Liam was battling not to join
in. He could see the unbridled hunger just a hair
beneath the surface of the carefully controlled
mask Liam wore. Ethan would bet a whole year’s
worth of the comics he loved that that was all it
was…a mask. He’d bet that inside all that cold
bravado, Liam was a lost little boy crying out for
someone to touch him, not physically…but to
touch his soul…to make it feel for once in his life.

#MySexySaturday - Get carried away with my WIP, In His Service. @ellen__cross


I am so excited to welcome everyone to share in this, the first week of a brand new weekly experience called, My Sexy Saturday.

Each Saturday, participating authors will share a little something, either 7 words, sentences, or paragraphs, from either something they have published, or are working on. Aspiring author, or multi-published professional...all are welcome to join in the fun!

Why not click here, to continue your journey after you have joined me in my little teaser.

For this first week, I would love to share with everyone, seven paragraphs of a WIP I have near ready for submission, called, In His Service. If you love hot exotic locations, and even hotter men...then this one may be  just what you are after.


There on the floor, was the most delicious heart shaped backside he had ever seen, wiggling back and forth hypnotically in front of him. Ali watched for several minutes as the hips and bottom shimmied left, then right as the woman rubbed the fireplace thoroughly.


Unable to stop his mind wandering, he couldn't help but imagine what those hips would feel like, gripped in his hands as he drove himself deeply into her. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he bent forward to stand when she lent up to reach the highest points on the fireplace, and turned slightly to dust the top corner. In the light of the sun shining through the high window, Ali could see the delicious full curve of her breast, outlined through her blouse, the upturned tip straining against the fabric.


"Oh Allah be merciful," he thought as he felt himself harden, a heated throbbing quickly draining any rational thought of turning away from the sight in front of him. He watched her graceful movements, mesmerized, and wondered who this beauty could possibly be. The brilliant sunlight flooding the window from her waist up made it impossible to make out any details of her face, only a silhouetted profile gave him any clue, and from that alone he knew she was indeed beautiful.

As she stood her skirt rode up, exposing shapely, smooth calves and thighs. She tugged it down again, and he was silently disappointed at being denied the breathtaking view, until it hit him like a ton of bricks. Her calves and thighs were pale skinned! This woman could only be the law-breaking foreigner he had sentenced to work for him. Well, that ended that moment of pleasure.

He put the book carefully back into the bookcase and was just turning to leave the room when he noticed that she now stood on a stool, reaching right over on the tips of her toes so she could dust the top of a gold gilded mirror above the fireplace. As she strained to reach the very top of the ornate frame, the stool tottered sharply and started to tip.

As if in slow motion, Ali sprang into action, racing toward her and capturing her in his arms, just as she fell with a loud, "Oomph." 
He cradled her to his chest, as if she were a child. She felt so good, wrapping her arms around his neck to hold on. He couldn't help but lean over and inhale deeply of the lightly spiced scent of soap against the skin of her throat.  She turned, and every ounce of breath escaped his lungs as the brilliant emerald of her frightened eyes finally met his.

Hump Day Hook teaser with Holly's Healing and ellen__cross #HDH


Welcome to another weekly Hump Day Hook!

 
Each week, many talented authors share little teasing snippets from one of their pieces, whether a published book, or a WIP.
When you are finished with my teaser, why not click here and experience more of what is on offer!

 
This week, I am sharing a little from my interracial holiday menage, Holly's Healing.
In this scene, Holly has been rescued by Wade and Dean from an attack, and has just realised they are obviously not biological brothers.
 
 
Dean looked back at her, chuckling at her expression. He leant over and closed her mouth with the tip of one finger. "What’s the matter, Holly? Was it that I told you we’re brothers? You don’t have a problem with racial blending do you? Wade’s folks adopted me after I was taken from my dad when I was fourteen."
A problem? Is he kidding? This is like all my fantasies rolled into one!
Like coffee and cream, these men set her mouth watering at the very sight, and she never could resist a generous dash of cream in her coffee. One light, the other richly dark. The perfect combination.

#HDH Final for "Wolf Sanctuary", with @ellen_cross

Hump Day Hook is a weekly bloghop, participated in by many brilliant authors, who wish to freely share a teasing paragraph with you from something they have published, or are working on.
After you finish here, why not  pop on over and check out some of the other authors by clicking HERE?

This week I bring you the last snippet from a partial excerpt of "Wolf Sanctuary", my current WIP.
As we know from previous weeks, Reece and Sean find themselves out driving in the middle of the night, in the rain, and at the insistence of Reece's inner wolf. They have come upon a drenched woman walking along the side of the road and after passing out in Sean's arms, they have bundled her into their truck.


"In case you were wondering, she's as wet as she looks. I'm already soaked through." Sean's forehead creased as he reached up with the arm that wasn't wrapped around his bundle and pulled the blanket a little tighter, stopping when he tried to tuck the fabric around her hips.

"What the fuck?"

Reece turned on the interior light and watched as Sean ripped back the blanket, revealing a large prominent bulge hidden beneath and now exposed to their eyes. The bulge jerked beneath their stares.

Sean gulped. "Is that what I think it is?"
