Today, welcome author Adriana Kraft, with her short story, Accidental Contact.

Accidental Contact

The curves of a woman. Soft, round, comforting, tantalizing, tempting, enthralling. There’s nothing quite like erotic scenes with two women together, and it turns out that both halves of Adriana love to read them and write them. We’re a married couple writing together: erotic romance for two, three or more.

Our Sapphic Planet story is definitely a twosome, and one of our favorite sub genres – a Cougar story. Baby Boomers ourselves, we love to write stories featuring older heroines, in line with another of our mantras: hot sex at any legal age.

Story Blurb:

Natalie and the much younger Bridgette are real estate agents who’ve often traveled together for business seminars. Now they’re snowbound in New York City in a hotel room with only one bed. Will Natalie dare to make her move?

Accidental Contact Excerpt

Groggily, Natalie peeked at the red numerals on the hotel clock. Midnight—they’d only been in bed for an hour.

Her eyes blinked wide open. There was a hand on her breast. She wiggled her fingers. The hand definitely wasn’t hers. She held her breath, taking stock of her situation.

Steady breathing warmed her neck. She was in danger of becoming intoxicated with Bridgette’s scent. She squirmed her bottom only to discover something solid—Bridgette’s torso, curved around hers. Fortunately, they were about the same height.

She couldn’t discern if Bridgette was awake or maybe acting out a dream. Natalie rechecked the clock. It had taken her nearly five minutes to assess her situation, and she still wasn’t sure what was happening. Her breathing faltered. She did know her nipples were growing incredibly aroused.

Shutting her eyelids, she withdrew into her body to concentrate on one particular nipple. The one Bridgette’s thumb lay within an inch of.

Fem dom mini-anthology Punish Me Good was reviewed by BDSM Book Reviews, and here’s what they had to say:

“Overall I found both flashy stories to be pleasantly sweet. They are a teaser which makes me want to read a full length book by Ms. Felthouse. I recommend this story to those who want to read a bit of light femdom.”

Can’t say much fairer than that! Read the full review here.

Grab the book here.

Also, if you’re dying to know more about Damien, the hero from my erotic romance novella Off the Shelf, then you’re in luck! He’s being interviewed over at Jean Joachim‘s place today – don’t miss it!

I’m also dishing the dirt over at Lovehoney – with the hottest sex scene from Off the Shelf. Check out the post here!

Hurrah, another new release! Dangerous Curves is a rubenesque anthology edited by Rachel Kenley, and it contains my erotic romance story, Miri on the Wall. 

Here’s the book blurb:

A luscious cleavage, hips a lover can hold onto – these are only part of the wondrous qualities of the heroines in this varied and fiery anthology.  With stories from:

Courtney Sheets, Catherine Paulssen, Clarice Clique, Lucy Felthouse, Angel Propps, Maggie Morton, Anna Fondant, Susan Swann, Rachel Kenley

there is something for everyone whether it is newly discovered passion, the deepening of an existing relationship, or some intense f/f action.  There is nothing hotter than a woman who knows the power of her own sexuality – and uses it for her pleasure and that of her partner!

Hello, my name is Cate, and I am . . . 

“I don’t know how you do that . . . but it was great!”

This is what my mom said to me after reading one of my stories (YA and fantasy – both so not her thing). Honestly, sometimes I don’t know how I do this writing thing, either.

Somehow, I sit down at a computer, stare at the blinking cursor, then just start typing. When I finally come up for air, there are words – and sometimes, when I read them later, I find it hard to believe that I actually wrote that. I don’t remember writing it, but there it is, sitting on the page, waving at me. A miracle. A story.

I have been writing for so long, I don’t recall a time when I wasn’t writing something. Poetry, song lyrics, short plays – I’ve done it all, and thoroughly enjoyed every word. I even wrote a scene for my high school Shakespeare class in iambic pentameter. (Don’t be too impressed – it’s easy to do if you’ve read Shakespeare since 5^th grade. Yep, I’m a theatre geek.)

It has always been a part of my life, this making up stories in my head and putting them on paper. It has only been the last few years that I got serious about it, that I wanted it to be not only what I did, but who I am. I am a writer. Whew – I said it out loud.

And that is more of an accomplishment than almost any words I string together – acknowledging it, to myself, to the world. Putting the deepest, most secret part of myself on virtual paper and putting it out there for everyone to see.

And it’s a terrifying thing to do – because not everyone will like me. Or what I have to say. Or how I say it.

But I accept that, now that I’ve put myself out into the world. There is no pleasing everyone – especially when it comes to something as subjective as fiction. I figure if my story inspires strong emotions, whether they be positive or negative, then I have done what I set out to do.

I made you think. I made you react. And hopefully, I made you care.

Book One The Claire Wiche Chronicles

Claire Wiche is an ordinary woman, running her Wicca shop, The Wiche’s Broom, in an ordinary California beach town.

But Claire wasn’t always ordinary, and she isn’t quite human. She hides a secret, and a past she thought she had put behind her.

A past that is about to explode into her present.

When it does, and everyone she loves is in danger, Claire must face up to her past – and become what she left behind in order to save them.

*****

Cate Dean has been writing since she could hold a pen and put more than two words together on paper. She grew up losing herself in the wilds of fantasy worlds, and has had some of her own adventures while tromping through the UK, and a few other parts of the world. A lover of all things supernatural, she infuses that love into her stories, giving them a unique edge. When she’s not writing, she loves cooking, scaring herself silly in the local cemeteries, and reading pretty much anything she can get her hands on.

Here’s a snog-tastic snippet from my smokin’ hot f/f/m threesome tale, A Menu with a Difference, from Noble Romance.

I looked at Jed and thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head as he watched Tamara lean in to kiss me. I closed my eyes as our lips touched. I was a little hesitant at first, unsure if I was going to like it. But a couple of seconds later I realized everything was going to be just fine. I slid my arms around Tamara and our kiss deepened.

She pushed her tongue between my lips. She’d obviously noticed that I was now feeling much more comfortable. Letting the mood take me, I dashed my tongue out to meet hers, and they caressed, just as our bodies were doing.

Tamara tangled a hand in my hair and pulled my head back. Then she began an assault on my throat, peppering it with butterfly kisses and little nibbles. By now my pussy was getting seriously hot and sticky, and I wanted release. She was kneading my ass with her other hand, and I couldn’t help but wish she’d just stick it inside my panties and bring me off.

Suddenly, Tamara pulled away. Biting back a moan, I followed her eye line. Jed stood beside us in just his boxer shorts. His cock was clearly desperate to come out and play. A tiny wet patch was visible on his underwear—evidence of his arousal. He palmed his cock through the material, his gaze flitting between Tamara and me.

“Are you feeling left out sweetie? Sorry. Come on, Annette. Let’s give Jed a proper thank you for our gifts.”

You can get your hands on this dirty little book here.

Also, don’t forget to head back to Victoria’s site and see what other luscious lip to lip action other authors have posted. Yum!

I’m happy dancing over here, because Have You Heard My Book Review covered my erotic lesbian anthology, and gave it five stars!

They commented:

“These three short stories are wonderful for starting out that special evening of fun with your partner. Erotic enough to get the engines moving, but not pornographic to the point you feel left out. Try reading them to each other and then devise your own fun! I enjoyed all three and do recommend them highly. I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because they will make things spark.”

Just lately, I’ve seen lots of authors saying that if people liked Fifty Shades of Grey, then they’ll like one of their books. It’s a great way of getting people interested in their work, but since my only BDSM titles are Punish Me Good and Naughty Delivery, I don’t think I have enough material to jump on that particular bandwagon. I have no idea if my titles are similar to Fifty Shades of Grey or not because I haven’t read it yet, though it’s sitting on my Kindle, waiting for me to finish The Hunger Games trilogy.

However, what I do know are my own books. And I also know which ones seem to sell the most. Therefore I’m going to do some “If You Liked X, Then You’ll Like Y” type stuff myself. So here goes…
