Taige Crenshaw -…increasing the sizzle factor

Happy Halloween!

I have this thing that I like. For as far back as I can remember I enjoy movies, books or tales of spook or horror. Tales that make you stay up at night listening for that bump in the night. Make you pulse pound and you wonder what is around the next corner. All the things that make you shiver. I love to shiver.

In my opinion there are different degrees of shivering.

Slight shiver - this is the one, which only gives me a little thrill. A little tingle that feathers my hair.

Body Shiver - the body shakes, your heart pounds, sweat breaks out and you start looking around to see what is lurking waiting for you.

Shiver so hard my teeth rattle and I drop on my knees – this is when you hands shake, heart feels like it is coming out of your chest, you are sweating and wondering if that sound you heard is for real.

I can go on and on about all sort of shivers but I’ll leave at the few above. When you tell someone to make me shiver it can be taken many way. It can be sexy, scary or spooky. All those shivers can encompass so many emotions. One shiver can tell a story of how a person is feeling. The movement in it self is it’s own story. It’s amazing how much you can learn from a shiver.

Being October and the month of spooky I am looking for the scare me type. This is when there are lots of scary movies on TV. The time I pull out my favorite horror and thriller books. When I look forward to the decoration and so on. In all of them I am looking for that shiver that makes your hair stand on edge. Then you laugh in that uneasy way. Put your hands over your eyes and watch with fingers sprawled. And wonder why I let myself be scared like this.

I love it. After all it’s all about making me shiver.

Golden Seduction Blurb:

Laila Brooks is a geek at heart. She was more comfortable with her computer and books. Adventure to her is finding a new computer code that no one else has. An unexpected gift of a captivating deck of Tarot Cards draws her into an adventure for the search to save a man, find herself and come out of her shell. Adventure has never been so sizzling and tempting.

Aleneic knows that his time is limited and he has to complete his quest or be sent back into a lonesome existence. The fates have put him in path a woman that makes him do the one thing he is afraid to do – hope things will be different.

An Excerpt From: GOLDEN SEDUCTION

Aleneic slid across the couch to Laila and took her hand. She stiffened but he brought her closer to him. When she tried to pull away he held her firmly until she stilled. Looking into her expressive topaz gaze, Aleneic wondered why the fates had brought him to a woman who would make him want what he might not be able to have. His attention was again caught by her lush mouth that made him want to keep kissing her senseless. Her lush plump bottom lip was begging for his teeth to nip it and the top heart-shaped lip made his tongue ache to give it a thorough tongue-lashing.

He knew it had been wrong to taste her again. The first time had made him hot but the second then third time had made him throb and ache. An ache that was driving him crazy. He knew it was only a matter of time before she would come to him and then he would take her every way he could.

Aleneic’s mind flashed to how it would be as his fingers delved into her reddish-brown hair while he kissed along her smooth mocha-colored sculpted cheeks to her luscious mouth, then down to her chin with the delightful little dent. He would spend some time nibbling on it before going down under her chin to her neck. Slowly, he would lick down between her ripe full breasts then nibble on each one before exploring all of the rest of her, including that lovely butt and lust-inspiring hips. He frowned, making a note to take his time in exploring her. He saw she was watching him silently, waiting for him to speak.

He looked into her expressive topaz gaze, pleased at the hint of lust there. A low growl came from his lips. He fought to get control over his own needs. Desire warred with duty as he tried to focus on why he was here.

EXCERPT:

Before they got carried away she needed to make a few things clear. “I only mate for life. There is no such thing as divorce for my kind. We’re possessive, opinionated and used to being in charge. I’m hell to live with.”

A smile bloomed across his face while his eyes lit with laughter. “I only want to be with you. I’m not going anywhere. I don’t share unless it’s absolutely necessary and I want you to be committed to whatever this may bring. I don’t like to fight but if you feel the need to I’ll accommodate you and we can enjoy making up afterward.” His smile went sensual. “I can live with hell and will give you as close to heaven as I can—in and out of the bedroom. As for being in charge… we’ll see what happens.”

Syn’s heart sped up as he spoke and her pussy dampened in preparation for his taking. Her voice was hoarse as she replied, “I want your word that if you ever want out you’ll make sure to hide so I’ll never be able to find you. I don’t know what I’d be capable of if you left me and I found you.”

His look went soft then his voice echoed in the room. “I can’t promise you such a thing, Syn. It will take you time to realize the only thing that will take me from your side is death. But you will realize. Even in death, I would come back and find you.”

She opened her mouth to speak.

He cut her off. “Shhh… I’ll give you this vow. If you ever leave me I’ll hunt the ends of the earth for you. When I find you, I will lay you down and take you until you can’t walk, talk or even imagine ever leaving me again.” He raised a hand extending it to her. “Come lay with me Syn.”

From where Syn stood she scanned his long loc’s. He’d pulled them into a ponytail that fell down his back. His sun-kissed features were chiselled masculine perfection. He wasn’t in costume. His slim muscular frame was covered in a dark purple almost black shirt and tight slacks made her mouth water for a bite. It wasn’t his face or body that caught her. It was his eyes.

With her keen sight she saw they were rich lavender offset by curling lashes. They should have made him seem feminine but they only enhanced his maleness as he leaned against the wall. He continued to stare, his intense gaze never wavering.

Intrigued Syn started to dance again. Rolling her hips gently, she watched his eyes. They remained locked to hers. He smiled a seductive twist of his luscious lips. Syn felt a delicious tightening of her body she hadn’t felt in a long time. Continuing to watch him she moved seductively waiting to see what he would do.

EXCERPT:

Moving from the wall, he walked purposefully across the floor. He ignored everything around him. He had one goal—her. Her chest rose and fell as he drew closer. Finally standing before her, he raised his hands and met hers with his, twining their fingers together.

He undulated his hips in time with hers and let her feel his hardened shaft. They hissed simultaneously at the first touch. Bringing up her arms and placing them around his neck, he put his face close to her neck and inhaled her scent. She smelled like sin and sex. The scent of her arousal gripped him. His cock hardened and lengthened even more. Running his hands along her forearms, then down her sides, he felt her quiver. He continued the path to her waist and cupped her lush hips.

She sighed and moved her body closer. Squeezing her firm butt, he dragged her against his raging erection. A growl echoed from her making her breast rub against his chest.

I enjoyed the uncovered feature I did on my blog last year. This year I decided to do a spin off of the uncovered feature. The feature will be called:

Between the Covers

Between the Covers will random excerpts from my books. Each month I will pick one of my books and throughout the month I will be giving you a look between the covers.

Each Wednesday I will post excerpts from whichever of my books I chose. That will be four or five according to the calendar Wednesday’s of the month. So check back next week for our first Between the Covers. And be sure to check each week for your Between the Covers look of my books.

Thanks to McKenna Jeffries for inspiring the Between the Covers feature. She had done something similar to this for her yahoo group readers called Between the Pages. She graciously let me use the concept. I tailored it to make it work for my own use.

In this month’s uncovered we explore Golden Seduction which was released today by Ellora’s Cave.

So let’s get uncovered….

Golden Seduction, is part of the Torrid Tarot theme stories from Ellora’s Cave. It is also the first book in my series Rarities Incorporated. In this uncovered we will be talking about how the story Golden Seduction came to be. My story features the King of Cups tarot card. When I decided to write the story I thought of many things. The most prominent thing I wanted to portray was reverence, duty, desire and love. Aleneic, my hero is a man who has been tested and all he holds dear has been taken from him. He has kept his wisdom and kindness. Aleneic will find a woman whose belief in him will humble and ultimately change him. I’ll be exploring Aleneic in another Uncovered later this month.

For this story I knew I didn’t want a typical heroine. Laila Brooks is a geek at heart. She was more comfortable with her computer and books. With the characters set in my mind I fleshed out their story. From the first words I knew that this story would be a roller coaster of adventure, discovery and hope. It would have many surprises for both Aleneic and Laila.

Golden Seduction is an exploration of all the senses and emotions. It has lots of surprises that even shocked me. There is a sense of hope and sensuality that embodies the story. The hope of my hero and heroine. The sensuality of their love story will touch on many emotions. They will have an adventure and ultimately find love.

Come along for the exploration of Aleneic and Laila as they are lost in their Golden Seduction available at Ellora’s Cave.
