Cupid’s Secrets

Cupid's-Secrets-TN-350It’s that time again! The folks over at KINKLECTIC have pulled together another great Holiday-themed bundle. There are thirteen (13) sexy to sweet, romantic to erotic, short stories to tickle your kinky fancy this Valentine’s Day. Take a peek at the offerings:

I Hate You, Cupid by Heather Cole

DESCRIPTION: It’s Valentine’s Day and Soledad, a librarian with a secret past, is trying to summon the courage to tell her vampire best friend that she has a crush. Cupid visits Soledad and makes a dangerous proposition, offering her an arrow of love if she aids him. Will Soledad help Cupid and win the heart of her favorite vampire?

The first story of Annie and Soledad can be found in the KINKLECTIC anthology, Secret Lives, or on Heather Cole’s Amazon Author Page in Dangerous Seduction.

Cupid’s Arrow by Meg Cooper

DESCRIPTION: When Dawn is hit by Cupid’s arrow, she’s astonished to see an honest-to-love-god arrow sticking out of her. Her trauma surgeon blind date Matt springs to her aid, planning for a thorough examination.

Pinkie Promises by Jane Danger

DESCRIPTION: Delilah Limite’s wedding planning business is thriving, in spite of her recent devastating break-up. Without good friends by her side, she’s sure she’d be sullen and depressed.

Before she knows what’s happening, she is enlisted to plan one of her friend’s weddings. As if that weren’t enough, the marriage will take place on Valentine’s Day – only one month away. Lucky for her, a florist has already been arranged. The only problem is, he’s wickedly handsome and decidedly single. Delilah doesn’t know whether to steer clear of him or trust her heart and hope it won’t fail her again.

Is true love in the cards for Delilah or has her commitment to spinsterhood clouded her judgment?

Waiting for Cupid by Caia Fox

DESCRIPTION: Sometimes it seems like Cupid has passed you by on Valentine’s Day. But once he finds a guy to warm your heart and your bottom, February can be hotter than July.

Horngry by Troy King

DESCRIPTION: Cupid’s arrows have a mythological ability to make people fall in love.  The truth, however, is far his arrows are far more dangerous, as Diana is about to find out.  The Roman God of Love is on the hunt tonight and his target will be tougher to bag than he thought.

Cops & Robbers by Fallen Kittie

DESCRIPTION: A cop slams some streetwise parolees between the sheets—and between her too. Her badge beats Cupid’s arrows.

Falling for Cupid by Christin Lovell

DESCRIPTION: Cupid Valentine, a.k.a. Coop, is the worst divorce attorney in the entire Southeast. Ninety-eight percent of his clients reconcile before the gavel hits the block. He’s dedicated his life to love; yet he’s never experienced it for himself…until Daisy.

Plus size Daisy and her best friend, Brad, made a pact when they were younger: if they weren’t married by thirty, they’d marry each other. Two years later, they’ve learned that love has many forms, and a passionate love is needed to have a fulfilling relationship.

The pair confounds Coop. His job has always been to repair relationships, but what happens when he suddenly finds himself rooting for the opposite of all he stands for? He does what any smart Cupid would do and flies away. But you can only escape Cupid’s arrow for so long, even if you happen to be Cupid.

Two Gods Walk Into a Bar by Audrey Lusk

DESCRIPTION: Karen, a psyche major and student of human nature doesn’t know what to make of the man claiming to be Cupid – or rather, Eros – in a dive bar on Valentine’s Day. The night just gets weirder when an even less predictable deity joins the party.

Candy’s Cupid by Ruby Madden

DESCRIPTION: Candy is a hardworking attorney that has next to no social life. Her friend has taken drastic steps to help her out since Candy is flirting with the idea of starting an affair with a married man.

Help comes in the form of Casey, called and nick-named Cupid, by his friends and clients. As an escort, he plays by the rules, providing company for his clients, truly only wining and dining them, and leaving the arrangement chaste.

Candy manages to figure out what her friend is up to and decides to push Cupid’s limits. It’s a battle of wills, until the handcuffs come out.

Kiss Me Tender by Ruby Madden

DESCRIPTION: Caitlin and Gabe have each been broken in the last year.

For curvy Caitlin, it was her heart when her spouse and loving partner passed on from a terminal illness. Already a widow and only twenty-three years old. Seeking a way to mourn privately, she decides to move from her small hometown and spend a year elsewhere, seeking peace and quiet, so she can recover.

Gabe has just finally gotten the green-light from his doctor. Since his car accident from a year ago, resulting in a near-paralyzing injury, he’s worked hard and tirelessly to recover physically. Now that he has the okay to pursue his need for sexual intimacy and relations, he is eager and hungry to find a new lover.

Having met right before the Holidays, they each have to better understand the other’s recent challenges, before their own love can take bloom. Will Valentine’s Day be romantic and exciting, or is Caitlin’s heart still in the past, with her deceased spouse?

Couple’s Skate by A. Regina Cantatis

DESCRIPTION: Larry Szymanski is a pro hockey player who wants to break into show business, so he takes the most logical first step he can think of: joining a reality TV show. “Life Swap” pairs people from very different worlds, giving them two weeks to explore each other’s lifestyles to hilarious and (occasionally romantic) effect. Larry hopes he’ll be paired with a pretty young woman, but what he gets is a pretty young man: out-and-proud figure skater Jimmy DeVere. The partnership might work out all right if Larry can break him quickly, but Jimmy is tougher than any human has a right to be. And he wants something from Larry.

Love in the Wild by Twyla Turner

DESCRIPTION: Love is a beautiful and insecure curvy woman. She’s been alone her entire life, being abandoned by her parents when she was born. Gunnar and Ryker are two men that have loved her from afar for months. But the men aren’t exactly what they seem. Stuck at work on Valentine’s Day, Love is depressed and truly feeling the deep pang of loneliness that only the Hallmark holiday can bring. Little does she know, she’s about to have the best Valentine’s Day of her life.

Waiting for You by Lydia Young

DESCRIPTION: When the gorgeous Jonathan England shows up at her goodbye happy hour, Etta Coleridge is as shocked as everyone else. Her former boss never seemed to have time for anything but work, but all work and no play makes Jonny a dull boy. And as Etta soon realizes, Jonathan England is anything but dull.

Holiday Gems: Six Sexy Stories by KINKLECTIC

It’s always a pleasure to guest-blog for KD Grace and I’m grateful each time I get to contribute. I’m here again, this time to share some of my recentHolidayGems-STAR-2 endeavors, both solo and with a group of eclectic writers.

I don’t know about you, but I love the Holiday season. I’m blessed with a wonderful family and we often prioritize the Holidays as a time of year to take time off from life and work, and typically converge upon a location somewhere along the West Coast. Coming from a large family (I’m one of five siblings, the oldest), it gets very festive. Along with our Irish and British heritage, ample amounts of liquor and spirits are imbibed and we are not shy about eating ourselves silly. We play games, see movies, stay up to the wee hours of the morning talking and genuinely enjoy one another’s company.

For this reason, amongst others, the Holiday season is pretty much a magical experience for me, surrounded by those who I love most on this lovely planet.

Last year, we enjoyed a sunny Christmas in San Diego and the year prior, a yummy Thanksgiving in Portland. A decade ago, we disappeared to Lake Tahoe for some snow-boarding and skiing, another year, we were on the Oregon Coast in a large house-share, enjoying the Pacific Ocean and the Pacific NW’s scenic beauty. Next year, we’re contemplating a Thanksgiving in San Francisco.

Then, it might not surprise you that I love to write short-stories that center around a holiday theme. This year, I’ve been unusually ambitious. Along with a talented and eclectic group of erotic and romance fiction authors, we pulled together a collection of holiday short stories. Six, to be exact and two of which, are mine. With plenty of fantasy, naughty bits and even some romance, I’m sure that they will hit a sweet-spot or two! *evil-grin*

Have a look!

Mistress Klaus by Ruby Madden

Contrary to what most believe, it is Mistress Klaus who runs the show at the North Pole. Not Santa Claus, but Mistress Klaus… Nonetheless, she still needs a partner. A man to call her own. A partner who can serve her in more ways than one…

Office Party by Troy King

Rebecca and John have had their fair share of erotic adventures, but their very first time exploring their wilder sides came at the company Christmas party. While executives yammered on and everyone got bored, Rebecca and John expanded their horizons.

Holiday-GEMS-Promo_PROMO-4The Professor’s Pleasures: Merry Xmas by Fallen Kittie

A sexy interlude between a student and Professor, then and now…

A Hysteric New Year by Audrey Lusk

Wherein an inventor has found a way to use his latest marvel the same way most do – for sex. A hot ménage romance in a not-quite-steampunk fantasy Victorian setting.

The Winter Dream by Lydia Young

After her brush with death, Jolie Paget’s world tumbles into madness and dreams. On the longest night of winter, she must confront the chaos…and the man who haunts her sleep. But will she be able to emerge from it with her mind and heart in one piece?

Santa’s Gift by Ruby Madden

Sally has nearly finished her PhD and is on vacation for the Holidays in sunny San Diego when she spies a tall, sexy man lounging across the pool. She’s recently dumped her boyfriend of three years and hasn’t had a ‘decent lay’ in as many. She makes a bold move, and picks up Rain, hoping for a one-night stand. Much to her surprise, Rain expects to be paid for his unique skills. Will Sally deny herself some much needed carnal pleasure or indulge in Rain’s expert, hand’s-on TLC and sensual care?

For fun, here are some snippets from my two stories:

SANTA’S GIFT

This was really happening. And fast. This man was all eyes for me and the vodka tonics were hitting me hard.Santa's-Gift-1

“What’cha reading on your eReader?” Rain asked.

I was stunned that he’d noticed. This confirmed that he’d been watching me before I had come over to meet him. “Oh, just something silly. Girl stuff.”

“Girl stuff? You mean erotica? Or romance?” He teased.

I shook my head and wondered if there was any chance that I could feel any more awkward than I already was. I just knew that my expressive face revealed my nervousness.

“Erotic romance, if the genre must be clarified.”

“Awh,” he said, his amusement at my expense was somewhat endearing. His eyes danced with delight at my embarrassment. “Nothing to be ashamed of. Sex is the greatest pleasure in life.”

“For some,” I quipped quickly, regretting it as soon as I said it.

He tilted his face at me, and looked at me as if he knew exactly what I was referring to. “Sorry to hear it.”

Whatever awkwardness in what I’d just revealed must have been plain as day on my face because what he said next, blew my mind.

“Maybe I can change that?”

He was so bold. So direct.

Old me would have been offended. New me was hundreds of miles away from home on vacation. New me had just dumped her long-term boyfriend. New me was horny as all hell.

MISTRESS KLAUS

It had already been a twelve hour day, but that wouldn’t stop her or her workaholic elf team from continuing to work. It was peak season and with
less than four days until the big day, it was all-hands-on-deck, twenty-four hours a day. Each elf working twelve hour shifts and then some more, if they chose to.

“Speaking of breaks, I think I need one too…” she sighed and made her way to the break-room to get some coffee.MistressKlaus-BC-+-Jasper-Med

While she doctored the warm mug of liquid energy, adding a dash of nutmeg, she quickly got lost in her lusty thoughts. Rather than working, she wanted to read.

Read erotica, that is.

This year, they’d sent out more erotic romance books than ever before. In fact, each year, they’d seen a steady increase of this particular gift request for the horny adults of Earth celebrating the holidays. It just so happened that Mistress Klaus had long since developed an eBook habit to all the many erotic and romantic fiction titles. It didn’t help matters that they were available in abundance online.

They gave her all sorts of naughty ideas…

Ones that she could play out with her very own submissive and naughty consort, Jasper.
