Making Santa's Naughty List with Darah Lace

A Naughty Elf


A little elf whispered in my ear, “Don’t hang your stockings by the chimney with care. Put them on, along with those red stilettos, the matching bustier and mini-skirt. Go be naughty!”

I frowned. Me? Wearing an outfit like that? Ha! He must have been drinking too much hot chocolate! I had, which is why that skirt didn’t fit anymore. But wait, that was reality!

Quick, quick, oh, hurry! I dash across the room and grab the nearest vehicle of fantasy!

Yes! I’m off now. And I’m sleek and long and dressed in red leather!

And hells to the yes! The elf is no longer the same elf whispering in my ear. He’s taller, leaner, a pillar of strength and power. And he's dressed in full Dom gear, a flogger in his large, strong sexy hand.

“You’ve been very naughty.” His voice is deep, lusty. His dark gaze strays from the tippy-toe of my red heels to the polished red tip of my fingernails high above my head. My wrists are bound to the wall, the cold metal biting deliciously into my flesh. I’m helpless…his to do with as he wishes.

I lower my head to hide my smile. I know he likes it when I’m bad.

And that’s how easy it is to be naughty, to get lost in a book, a fantasy. I do it whenever I can, whether I’m reading or writing. In my latest release, Tara must let go of the world she knows and submit to the unknown world of BDSM. She’s very, very naughty and loves every minute of it!

Yes, Master

Tara Sherwood never dreamed she’d let a man put her in chains, call her pet and spank her into submission, or that she’d derive pleasure from punishment. But her future hangs in the balance and the choice is simple—walk away, or kneel at the Master’s feet.

A morsel of decadence that will whet your appetite for whips, bondage and a Master of your own.

Excerpt:

A loud pop across the room snapped her head up. The rest of her body jerked but remained immobile, proving the restraints worked and just how vulnerable she was. Oh god, what had she been thinking? She’d never even been spanked before much less whipped.

He was beside her again, a warm hand on her back, smoothing the length of her spine. “Shh, shh, shh.” His palm slid along her hip and over the curve of ass. “It sounds worse than it feels.”

Tara sucked in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She trusted him. She had to, had to do this.

Something tickled the opposite buttock. It felt like dozens of velvety fingers. No, not fingers. Strands of soft leather. She trembled as it shadowed the path of his hand down one thigh, over her calf and back up again then along her back. The tickling continued down her arms until he finally held it for her to see. And seeing the instrument he planned to use on her helped ease the panic.

Funny, she should have been more afraid, not less. Maybe she wanted this more than she thought.

See, Tara is enjoying herself, living a fantasy. I encourage you—no, I dare you—to find your own little elf, let him whisper in your ear. Then go, be naughty!

Making Santa's Naughty List with Mia Downing


Hi! I'm Mia Downing. The Erotic Cravings authors have been bad girls this year. Of course, you wouldn't want us any other way. To ease the pain of being on the naughty list yet again we've pooled our efforts and we're going to give away prizes to our equally naughty readers! We have one $50 Amazon or B&N gift card for lucky comment leavers! I'm also giving away one of my digital books for your enjoyment. We're going to announce winners on the Erotic Cravings blog and individual blogs Dec 17. Read on for details!

Spy Games Characters Are Making Santa's Naughty List 
There’s no way one of my Spy Games heroes would escape Santa’s Naughty List. Their penchant for sharing women teamed with the notches on their collective bedposts and Jake’s love of whiskey have pretty much grounded Chase and Jake from the Nice List for eternity. Sort of like breaking a warehouse full of mirrors and you’re out of good luck. All three men love sex and strive to take it to the next level and see how many multiple orgasms they can give their partner. With the holidays coming up, I’d hate to be the one to find them a present. They are rich men who can afford the finer things in life.

So what do you give the spy who has everything for Christmas? A Boink Box, of course!

This is a pretty cool idea for that special guy or gal who wants to experiment and likes a monthly surprise, like my Spy Games heroes. A Monthly Make Out box gives you 3-5 small fun items, like lubes or special condoms. That sounds nice but I would think they’d head straight for the Quarterly Luxury box, with 5-7 toys, lubes and other fun things to spice up an evening. The site has bondage and BDSM gear which would make all three couples very happy.

So far I’ve only mentioned that Chase and Jake are naughty… Well, Aaron may have been on the Nice List for most of his life, but he’s bent on brewing up a whole batch of naughty with Charlotte’s help. The excerpt I chose is one of my favorite scenes from the beach, at night. Aaron has decided he’s going to win a contest, with Charlotte’s help. He just has to convince her it’s going to be worth the effort.

Blurb for Spy Games: Endgame (Book 3 of the Spy Games Series) 
Sexy spy Charlotte Smith doesn't go by the code name Dragon Queen because she's sweet and cuddly. She's cold, hard, and mean and has been training for the past five years to take down the men who destroyed her soul and left her burning for revenge. But when she meets her next assignment at a wedding, her body protests there's much more to life than kicking asses and taking names. Actor Aaron James is witty, hot as hell, and he smells divine. But women with suicidal endgames don't indulge in casual sex, and they definitely don't fall in love.

Since meeting Charlotte at his brother's wedding, Aaron's life has been nothing but trouble. He's plagued by memories of the kiss he stole from her, and he senses underneath her aloof nature and frosty glare is a woman with passion and fire. When Charlotte is assigned as his bodyguard after a botched kidnapping attempt, he's psyched. What better way to get in her panties than have her pretend she's his girlfriend? Until Aaron realizes too late he wants more than in her panties... he want's Charlotte's heart.

Contains: Explicit language, really hot sex, anal sex, toys, light bondage, very light BDSM, an actor wannabe spy and his kick-ass spy bodyguard. 


Very Naughty Excerpt from Spy Games: Endgame
“Let me fuck you with my hand. Here, on the beach.” Aaron slid his fingers inside her tight, wet pussy and pumped as much as her pants allowed. “I should have asked you to wear a skirt and no panties.”

Charlotte couldn’t believe she was letting him fingerfuck her on a beach like she was someone’s girlfriend. His girlfriend. She trembled as he slid her panties and pants down just a bit, so there was more room for his hand. Or rather, hands, because the other delved in to rub her clit and explore sensitive folds.

He removed a hand from her pussy and sucked on one finger, then two. And sighed. “They could bottle this— your taste— and men would never need erectile dysfunction aids ever again.”

“Naughty, Aaron. So naughty.”

He dipped those fingers back in, sliding, thrusting, rubbing her clit harder. “Fuck the mental baggage, Char. Why should you be horny as hell and not get something from this? You gave me bliss. I want the same for you. But if I were going for honest, I’d tell you this is definitely for me.”

“Okay, I’m intrigued. How?”

Aaron dropped his voice to a conspiratorial stage whisper. “We’re going to break a record, baby.”

Fear tangled with desire in the pit of her stomach. “I don’t want to know about this, do I?”

“Of course you do. I need you.” He sank his fingers deeper into her pussy. “We’re going to break the Anderson record.”

“Which is?”

“How many orgasms I can give you before I shoot the moon. Come.”

“Your brothers have discussed this?” Good gravy, Anderson men were pigs. Or… well, the ladies were the lucky ones. So she had no clue what to call them. “And the record is?”

“They’re all stuck at three. Chase included. He’s an honorary Anderson, I guess.”

It should worry her that she knew exactly how many multiple orgasms Kate and Tia had gotten from her two favorite men, but what bothered her more was the end result. She’d never had a multiple orgasm. Ever. She sucked in a breath. “You want to give me four.”

“I was never one to back away from a challenge. So you game? We haven’t gotten one out of the way, and you need clitoral stimulation to get there. So you come, here, we go home and practice the oral route, then…”

“And then?”

“And you let me fuck you, so you get four.”

If you haven’t started the series yet, now’s the time to hook up with some sexy spies for the holidays!

Blurb for Spy Games: Trained for Seduction (Book 1) (m/f/m)
A RomCon Reader's Crown Finalist 2013!

Emma Walters didn't choose to be a spy, but when her crazy father was caught selling bombs to the wrong people, she was given a choice--become a spy or rot in jail. Her exciting new life as agent Kate Wells becomes more so when she discovers her new boss is the agent--undercover and investigating her father at the time--who took her to third base. Emma is already half in love with the dark and dangerous Chase Sanders. Kate wants nothing more than for him to finish what he started, but he's the devil incarnate. And one doesn't make deals or fall in love with the devil. 

If someone had told Chase he'd fall in love with a certain virgin when he was on his last mission, he would have shot them dead, sniper style. She was nothing more than collateral damage, damn it. But watching the sexy new spy morph into a bombshell killing machine is too much to bear. So when the powers that be command him to train her in the art of seduction for her first--and possibly last--mission, he's scared witless. Making love to Kate means preparing her for sex with another man. Somehow, Chase has to find a way to get Kate in--and out--of her mission without dying. And without falling in love.

Contains: Explicit and graphic sex, light bondage, light BDSM, anal sex, sex toys, m/f/m, a hot, dominating spy boss and a spunky, bomb-making heroine.

Romcon - better late than never on my post


Hanging with my Naughty sister in romance Anita Philmar at Romcon 2013.
 
I had a great time at Romcon, meeting authors and hanging out with the lovely Rhonda Penders and other authors of the Wild Rose Press.
 
Highlights - Too numerous to count.
 
The low - My stupid rental car from Enterprise. The tire wouldn't hold air. So lucky me had to stop every hour along the trip to top off the air. Once in Colorado Springs I was able to trade it at the airport for a beat up SUV. Enterprise did make it up to me when I returned home. Cut my bill in half and offered me 20% off my next rental.
 
I don't think I'll go in 2014 but it is a convention that I want to do again!

feeling foolish...yet thankful

So I've been posting blogs, joining blog hops, offering book giveaways and wondering why my blog is DEAD. and I mean dead. I figured I'm just boring. After all, I'm not the best blogger and far from consistent.

but you were here. You stopped in, you posted and you left comments. And where were they?
In the SPAM box. So yes I'm blogger illiterate. But to say I'm sorry and to thank you for stopping by, continuing to comment, but never seeing your posts come through, I'm doing a single blog post to make up for my ignorance on blogger.

Leave me a comment, tell me your favorite genre, along with your email address, and I'll send you a book from my backlist to say thank you and to show my appreciation.

KyAnn - (who will forever more check the f***ing spam box lol.)

Coming Soon - New cover for Just Kiss Me

The Next Big Thing


A few weeks ago a wonderful writer friend asked if I'd like to share a bit about my latest work. I, of course, said, "sure." Thank you to Linda Joyce, http://lindajoycecontemplates.wordpress.com/  for inviting me to this fun chain blog event. After visiting my blog, stop by the blogs at the end of this post next Wednesday to add another link in the chain.

1: What is the working title of your book?

I have three books in the works right now. 2 completed (one novel and one novella) and 1 in progress (a short novel). Just Kiss Me will be ready for release before the other two. It’s a 20k novella.

2: Where did the idea come from for the book?

I wanted to write a short story, under 10K. But after the opening pages, the characters took on more baggage. Both heroes (it’s a m/m novella) have serious relationship issues. I knew I wouldn’t be able to resolve their issues in less than 10K.

3. What genre does your book come under?

m/m contemporary romance. The situations are serious, dealing with sexual abuse, being raised in a cult, and promiscuity.

4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

This is such a hard question for me to answer. My characters tend to become real in my head. I think about them. I miss them when the story is over. So I don’t really see an actor in the role of a character. They would need to be handsome in the face and a body made for sex. Heroes have to be hot.

5: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

A man, raised and abused in a cult finds comfort and love in the arms of a man who’s never had better than relationships based on sex.

6: Is your book self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?

Not sure yet if I’ll sub this one to a publisher or put it under K.Inc, my self-published books.

7: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

This one took me a while because of life getting in the way of writing. I would put this one at about 6 months. Normally a 20K story would take me 4 to 6 weeks to write.

8: What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Hopefully, Just Kiss Me would stand out as contemporary m/m romance. The story is filled with introspection as both characters come to grips with their pasts and figure out what they have to offer in a relationship.

9: Who or what inspired you to write this book?

Not sure. But I did struggle with the story. I wonder if I’m doing the story or characters justice by finishing the book at only 20K. Maybe there is more of the story left to tell. But as an author, once the love portion of the story resolves, I like to see the end.

10: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

While the story is erotic and contains yummy man on man sex, and I hope to leave the reader with a tingle in all the right places, I hope they also like the journey of self-discovery for both characters.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my Next Big Thing. Leave any comment for a chance to win any title from my backlist.

Next week stop by a couple of my friends' blogs.

Mercy Of The Dragon

Published: 01/28/2011




Ja’darien, slayer of Dracs, will stop at nothing to banish his deviant desire for the dragons. He won't rest until he rids the world of the beasts. On the edge of a ravine, he waits for his prey.

Kerkira, a winged dragon, hunts the slayer. Yet, when given the chance, he can’t kill his enemy. The man is his mate. However, because of Ja'darien's sins against the Dracs, Kerkira vows the slayer’s submission will not be pleasant.

The bond of mating is more intense than either is prepared for. Will Kerkira forgive him because Ja’darien is at the mercy of the dragon?




This title contains: explicit language, anal sex, bondage,
BDSM, and m/m.

Rosette (27 pages)


Excerpt:

Kerkira approached the bedding. The slayer, naked and bound with cord to his pallet, continued to sleep. Kerkira swallowed hard. Ja’darien was beautiful in repose. His perfect form was seemingly at peace. His full lips softened to a half smile. High brows arched over expressive eyes.

On the ridge above the ravine, those emerald eyes had revealed more than fear and hatred. Passion and lust. Even if Kerkira hadn’t scented the sweetness of his essence, he’d felt the heat radiating off Ja’darien. Ja’darien’s engorged cock had pressed against his tunic. The arousing fluids dampened the protective cloth and sent shards of pleasure unfurling within Kerkira’s dragon—awakening the man.

“How do I make you understand?” he whispered to the sleeping slayer. If only Ja’darien had realized he’d destroyed his destiny with his rage against dragons.

Kerkira had stripped him of clothes upon arriving at his lair. His mate was for his pleasure and the need to roam hand, mouth and cock over the muscular perfection was increasing with each passing moment. Instinct to mate, to claim him—to mark him—was overwhelming. But so was the need to discipline the slayer, to punish him with painful pleasure.

As he had tied the intricate knots in the rope, binding Ja’darien to the bed, Kerkira’s clawed hands had trembled.

“You will never slaughter another Drac,” Kerkira vowed. Ja’darien’s destiny was to serve and Kerkira would see to his instruction. “For the pain and death you’ve rained upon my species, your submission to me will be total and complete.” His eyes narrowed as he visualized a submissive Ja’darien accepting Kerkira’s power and learning to take pleasure in punishment. Ja’darien had been fighting against his true nature. A dragon’s mate was always submissive. “However, it may not always be pleasant.”
