![]() My winner (chosen by Random.org) is Gabrielle. Many thanks to everyone who participated. See you at the next event! Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do? (I know, two references to old songs. What can I say? Bad boys make me want to sing.) I'll tell you what I would do if I was a wild, single woman again. I'd find me one of those bad boys and have some fun! My honey is actually somewhat of a badass (see picture below) and we do have our good times, so no complaints from me. For my contest, just leave a comment and tell me who is one of your favorite bad boys, real or fictional, from Hollywood or a book. Here's a little treat for you, an excerpt from my latest, Into the Magic, featuring a magical bad boy. ********************** Damn, he looked fine sitting there in the glow of the candle. She took another sip of wine, and her previous convictions about Adam faded. All she could think of was the incredibly sexy man across from her. Her pulse pounded and moisture formed between her legs, but her conscience nudged her, reminding her that a sexual encounter with Tristan would be trouble. It could end their working relationship and cause problems with Adam. So what? I’ll get a new teacher. Adam isn’t here. He sent me away and hasn’t contacted me. Right now, I want a lover. “I really don’t know that much about you. We’re always concentrating on lessons when you’re here. Tell me something you like to do in your free time.” Star struggled to keep her voice steady. “Well, I like to kayak, I like to cook, and garden. Now, tell me something you like to do, when you’re not visiting other worlds.” “Come here and sit next to me. We can watch the fireworks out of the window.” Tristan hesitated a moment. Heat rose in her body, and the desire to touch him was overpowering. She poured more wine into her glass and drank. Something loose and wild raged through her, a voracious demon that demanded to be fed. The atmosphere in the room was charged, like the air before a thunderstorm. Her pulse raced, her breathing quickened. She crossed her legs as waves of pleasure throbbed low in her core. She was certain Tristan could sense her excitement, yet still he moved with care, coming to sit on the end of the couch. “Frankly, I’ve been a stick in the mud for the past two years. I haven’t been doing anything much, reading and watching television. Ever since I got back from Porrima, though, I’ve been thinking about some things I want to do. Like this.” Star scooted over and kissed Tristan. Only their lips touched, gently, and as soon as they connected, she was lost. An explosion of colour filled her mind. Her heart raced. He held perfectly still, at first, then put both hands on her cheeks and angled his head to deepen the kiss. The colours swirled into pulsating patterns. Pulling away, Tristan leant back and looked at Star, breathing hard. “Are you sure this is what you want? It could make our study time awkward.” “I know, but it could make it fun. It could open up new avenues of exploration. Didn’t I see a chapter in that book of yours about sexual power?” “Sex can add to the power of magic, but it can also distract the user.” “Okay, I’m ready to get distracted.” Star slowly pulled her blouse off, and smiled as she saw Tristan’s pupils dilate, hearing his sharp intake of breath. She stood and removed her skirt, then held out her hand to him. “Your turn.” Tristan rose and, unable to wait any longer, Star began to unbutton his shirt. He grabbed her hands and put them to her side. “Wait.” The cool breeze from the air conditioner, along with her growing excitement, hardened her nipples into points that poked through her thin bra. Tristan cupped one breast and ran a thumb across the hard peak. Star gasped and shivered. She wanted to take him right there. On the couch, the floor, the kitchen table. Desire burned through her like a flame. With a growl, she pulled his shirt out of his pants and ripped it apart, sending buttons flying. She started to unfasten his pants, but again he pushed her hands away and quickly did it himself, sliding them to the floor then stepping out of them. He sat on the couch, shoved the coffee table away with his foot, and took hold of her hips. Looking up at her with eyes gone dark with desire, he brought her in close and buried his face between her legs. He slid her lace panties to the side, and his tongue probed her lips, lightly at first, then harder, licking the slick folds inside and out. With one finger, he began to caress her clit, stroking it lightly, rhythmically. The sound of the booming fireworks matched her pounding pulse. Heat like she’d never felt before ran through her veins and set her soul on fire. What was this? Not the slow, simmering burn she’d felt when she and Adam held their bodies together. This was something riotous, something unsettling. Her nerve endings danced, like the sparklers they’d lit at the party. Tristan’s fingers dug into her flesh. His tongue dived deeper, and he took her swollen bud into his mouth and sucked. She moaned deep in her throat and arched her pelvis into his face. She had to take him, now. The desire to ride him, to push him on his back and straddle him, to fuck him for hours, was overwhelming. Panting, she wiped a thin line of sweat from her brow. Something was wrong. This feeling, this deep lust, it was dark, wicked, consuming her. If they went any further, she would fall into an abyss of shadows. Though her body vibrated with need, she knew this was not how it should feel. With a strangled cry, Star pushed Tristan away and took a step back. “Stop.” “Stop?” Tristan looked up, his voice thick with arousal. “I don’t want to do this anymore.” “What the hell?” Tristan stood abruptly. “Don’t play with me. You’re the one who started this.” “I know, but I changed my mind. I want you to go now.” Star put her hands on her hips, aware of her nearly naked state. ************************ Buy links: Into the Magic Amazon Total-E-Bound All Romance Kobo Barnes and Noble Big thanks to our hosts, herding cats & burning soup, Rantings of a Reading Addict and author Blue Remy.

One of my favorite bad boys on TV these days is Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries. I love his swagger and his I-don't-care attitude that will change to an I'd-do-anything-for-you attitude when he's with Elana.

Oooo D., nice to have a bad boy husband. He sounds yummy! Fictional ones are good too, though. They never hog the blanket at night.

I love the bad boys, whether they be shifters, aliens, doms, or cowboys. And since I only read romances with a happily ever after, they keep me coming back for more. We know that underneath that bad boy exterior lies a hero who is strong, sexy, loyal, confident, and protective of their woman.

No one really knows my bad boys. I’m a geek and I love anime. I love the anti-hero, and so far, I’ve not found better examples than Lelouch from Code Geass and Light Yagami from Death Note. They are bad boys you really, really wish you could side with, but at the same time, you know their methods are completely wrong.

Now that's different, M. Anime is a new genre to me and looks pretty darn interesting. It's so nice to hear about the variety of what people are reading.

Mmmm… bad boys. Excuse me while I salivate. To pick just one bad boy is so very hard, but I will try! I enjoy Christian Grey (who wouldn't? Am I right, ladies?). His compulsive need to control is scary and hot all at the same time. Another bad boy who has me slobbering all over myself is Travis from "Beautiful Disaster!" A man who makes a living by punching the shit out of another man!?!?! Hold me back! Thanks for the giveaway! It's always a pleasure for me to participate in these, especially when the topic is so utterly delicious.
