Welcome to another edition of Friday Flames, where scorching scenes are all aflame!
I invite writers to choose a steamy excerpt from their books or works in progress, and share them.
I dare readers to sit with an icy-cold drink at hand and enjoy the many posts.
Today I welcome Heather M. Sharpe to the Friday Flames stage. I met Heather a few years ago when the rough-draft of Remedy Maker evolved. Having much in common, we instantly hit it off.
Take it away, Heather!
Can her gift help her find an everlasting love?
Blurb: As an
Enforcer for a secret society of shapeshifters, Ledger Arneau is offered a
chance to retrieve his wayward brother before The Council puts out a warrant
for his arrest. When the trail goes cold, he is willing to try anything to pick
it up again, even if it means bringing in an outsider.

her own, by concentrating on it. She’s always dreamed of using her skills to

Excerpt:
“Please,” she whispered, bringing one leg up to hold him tighter to her and arching her back to brush her lips against his. He held himself firm against her until she tentatively touched her tongue to the softness of his lips. Then, it was as if a dam opened, and he crushed her to him. He released her wrists so his hands were free to roam, his lips melded tightly against hers.
Ledger softened the kiss enough to nip and tease her lips while one hand skimmed down her side to the hem of her shirt. His fingers danced there where her shirt had risen slightly, exposing a small strip of bare skin. Corinne wriggled beneath him, trying to deepen their kiss and encourage his fingers’ maddening caress to explore further.
She felt his lips curve into a smile. “Impatient?”
She growled and took control of their kiss, refusing to let him back away and return to the light teasing of before. His fingers continued their dance against her side, brushing just below the waistband of her pants and under the hem of her top, but no farther. She arched her back, relieving the ache in her breasts somewhat by brushing them against his firm chest. Finally she felt the warmth of Ledger’s palm against the skin at her waist as his hand slid beneath her shirt and up to caress her breast. A tingling fire spread from the warmth of his grasp to the rest of her body.
Determined to feel more of the glorious warmth, Corinne gripped the hem of his shirt and tugged until it caught at his shoulders. She whimpered in indecision. She didn’t want him to move his hands or lips now that they were finally where she wanted them, but she needed to feel more of his skin against hers. With one final tug, she decided that her hands could wander freely enough with his shirt bunched around his shoulders. That decided, she let her hands roam across the tight muscles in his back and shoulders. What was it about tracing those flat planes that could make her insides melt?

Bio: Heather M.
Sharpe lives on 6 acres in Central Kansas with her husband, perfect baby boy,
mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. In case the house isn’t full enough, it also
includes four noisy dogs, one cat who inspired For the love of a Sphynx, another
who torments him, and a lizard. At night,
all of them think they need room on the bed (except the lizard,
thankfully).

Up until the birth of her son, Heather taught elementary
school. Now she chases around her
toddler and writes whenever he naps long enough to turn on the laptop. When not writing or chasing the baby, Heather
enjoys hanging at the lake, waking up early to tear up the water on the
wakeboard or wakesurf board, and making s’mores.

Thank you for letting me share my steamy scene today! I look forward to reading some scorchers today!
You started the race, babe! Kick back and enjoy the fun.
I would love the ability to find missing objects! Okay, here's my short, steamy excerpt from my new book due out in two weeks. In addition to lust, Star heard tenderness in his voice. He really did care for her, and was looking out for her best interests. Adam was acquainted with Tristan and knew his intense sexual nature. The fact that Tristan had attempted to seduce Star in a roundabout way did not sit well with Adam, but the three of them had sorted that out and come to an understanding. That he was now willing to work with… Read more »
We'd never lose our car keys again! Would we, Naomi? 🙂 Holy hotness! You left a cliffhanger of an excerpt there! Love your tag line: Adventurous Erotic Romance. Yup, that sums it up!!
Oh, me too. I'm always losing things. In fact, that's one of own traits I share with Corinne. I love books with magic. I'm definitely intrigued!
Whew! Nice ones!From Mississippi Blues: Suddenly, all of Lindy’s bravado fled. She couldn’t believe she’d been so bold as to tell this man she wanted to sleep with him. Straddling him, all she had to do was roll off and flee. His hands gripped her waist, although she knew he would let her go in an instant. But something held her still. She looked into Jace’s eyes and delicious shivers rocked her body. This is where she wanted to be. Leaning forward, she touched his lips with hers. The gentle kiss lasted only a second before she sat up and… Read more »
BUY LINKS!! I gotta finish this book!! Whew! I like this line, "His mouth tore at hers like an animal." Yee-Haw!!!
Nice! Love the steamy scene, but also curious. .. how did she get hurt? Guys I'll have to get the book to find out!
Heather and Naomi, your sexcerpts were HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!
Still fanning my face!
Thank you!
Here's an excerpt from my latest release Three's a Crowd. Taking off my clothes and stepping into our shower, I closed my eyes and let the water cascade down my head, over my shoulders and down my legs. The sound of the shower curtain forced me to open my eyes. A naked and very aroused Alex was climbing into the shower with me. “Mmm. I’m all sweaty, too. If I wash you, will you return the favor?” He said with a mischievous grin on his face as he grabbed the bottle of body wash and poured some into his hands.… Read more »
*clicks the air conditioning on* WHEW! Now that's some HOT writing! Welcome to Friday Flames – yee-haw!!!
Thanks Sheri! 🙂
Whew! Yep, good turn on a fan. 🙂
Great scenes today!!! LOVE reading these! Here's mine from FINDING HOPE – Pool of Souls Book 2———————-One of Adrian’s hands left her thighs. He was sliding it up to a breast. He cupped it and kneaded before beginning to roll the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She gasped when he pinched just a little. The nipple responded and instantly hardened. At the same time his fingers were torturing her nipple, his mouth continued to torture her sex. Suddenly the licking changed to sucking. He pulled her engorged clit into his mouth hard. His fingers clamped down on the nipple… Read more »
Grinning here…like this part: Flip over. Excellent scene, thanks so much for sharing, Krystal! The heat is climbing to scorching levels today!
Hot, hot, hot!
This tale by Heather looks so danged awesome. It's gonna be a hit! Then there's some real hot bits on here today!Today, I wanted to share from Nowhere Arizona Book Two Gateway To The Sun: This is what happens if you go swimming in The famed Lightning pool, it's waters are somehow an aphrodisiac.Beware of the little pools in the mountains above Nowhere, Rick kissed her back while staring into her eyes. She stared back and he knew this was Phoebe. She'd never closed her eyes when he'd kissed her; she always looked directly into his. Feeling a shock of… Read more »
Thank you, Leanore! Hmmm, if that's what happens in Nowhere, Arizona, maybe I need a vacation. .. 🙂
Ha! I was thinking the SAME thing, Heather!! Book me a room, I want some lightning action!! WHEW! We're cooking in the Flames now!
Whew! Heather, that scene was flamin' hot. Bet there's more where that came from too!My excerpt is from my medieval romance Betrothal, on sale this month on Amazon for .99! He stroked her back, skimming his fingertips all the way down to brush her buttocks. She whimpered as her need for him grew with every moment they were together. Geoffrey shifted and pressed her onto her back. His ragged breathing sounded harsh as he traced her ear’s outline with his tongue, pausing to suck on the lobe. The tremor that coursed through her had nothing to do with fear—desire possessed… Read more »
Oh I love a medieval romance!
…fire blazed between her thighs.
We like fire here at the Flames. This is our kind of Steamy romance! Thank you for sharing, Jenna!
My excerpt is from an erotic paranormal. Visit my blog by July 8 to enter a giveaway: katyaarmock.com. His gaze dips to my lips, which are pressed into a thin line of anger. “Fuck this.” And then he is kissing me. Hard. I try to pull away, but one of his hands has come up behind my head, pulling me tight to him. He runs his tongue along my lower lip. I groan, not sure if I still want to get away or open up to tangle my own tongue with his. He slides his other hand down my arm,… Read more »
Animal magnetism in its richest form! Hot stuff!!
Whoa that was amazing Heather! Okay since everyone is posting theirs, here's mine.From Cold Warriors- futuristic/erotic romance Amazon buy link– http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Warriors-The-Universe-ebook/dp/B00BH5NNMY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373056285&sr=8-1&keywords=clare+dargin “Also….” He paused, trying not to stumble over his words. “I’d like to apologize for my behavior the other day. It was unprofessional and uncalled for.”It wasn’t much of an apology but it was all he could muster at the moment. Shifting his weight from one foot to the other, he wondered if she would become emotional and demand an answer for what had taken place? Or scream sexual harassment…. He braced himself, waiting for a response. “I’m glad… Read more »
What an amazing excerpt, and I love the title! Thank you so much for introducing me to your work! I hope you come by again some time!
Loving all the excerpts!
I've tried to post an excerpt but no matter how much I cut out of it, I keep getting a message that it has too many characters. Oh well! I'll just enjoy all of yours.
Tammy – if you send me your segment (don't forget buy links), I'll post it for you. YOU have some STEAMY scenes that need to be shared!
I had to pop back in and say I enjoyed these today. Thanks for flaming up our weekend, Sheri!
