Don't Call Me Iron Man: Temptation and Cashmere

Hello, I’m ND and I’m here to not only promote, but celebrate both the release of my first ever Beyond Fairytales story and the Christmas Holiday. I’m even giving away a $20 Amazon Gift Card and a copy of the book! 

 When I got to thinking about a blog tour, I decided I wanted to go with something that celebrates the holiday but isn’t strictly about promo. So here’s what I come up with…over the next six days, you - my dear readers, will get a glimpse of what a good old-fashioned Christmas is like to a grown up cybernetic man who’s never experienced it.  So pull up a chair, a glass of your favorite holiday drink – whether that be eggnog or apple cider, and enjoy a little holiday fun as Ivan introduces his master and lover to everything that we humans take for granted during the holiday season…

Temptation and Cashmere

Buttoning his coat, Lucero could hear his mate in the bedroom.  The jingle as Ivan put his change and keys into his pants pocket, the swish of fabric as he snagged his coat from the foot of the bed. All the signs of a man getting ready to go out and show his lover the sights and sounds of the city in the midst of holiday cheer. 

Personally he’d rather stay in and do his own celebrating – preferably with more of Ivan’s homemade garland.  He would always cherish the memory of his lover laid out over the arm of the sofa, wrapped up in his own cranberry and popcorn garland as Lucero sank balls deep inside of him. As usual, his dick stirred at the idea.  

“Ivan, we need to get going or we’re gonna be late and Dante will never let you hear the end of it. I’m just hoping this party you insist on going to will have some kind of substance. I’m starving.” 

“It will.  Paddy McFee’s is well known for its holiday meal.  Shamus is a pure genius when it comes to roasting a turkducken. He puts my mother’s to shame.”    Ivan came down the hallway, his tall form covered in snug jeans which lovingly cupped his thick thighs and accented Ivan’s sex. Ivan had paired the sinful denim with a beautiful hunter green sweater that tempted Lucero to touch.  Which he did as soon as Ivan was within reach. Soft fibers teased his fingertips.  Cashmere. He’d never felt anything softer in his life.

With a rumble of pleasure, Ivan covered trapped his hand against his chest. “I promise it’s worth the wait.  But before we head over to the pub, I have a special surprise is store for you.”

“So that’s why we’re leaving so early?”  Lucero asked as he continued to stroke his free hands over Ivan’s wide chest.  He loved the way Ivan’s breath grew more erratic with each pass.

“Of course.”  Ivan brushed a kiss over Lucero’s mouth.  “Besides, I remember what happened the last time I wore this sweater. I swear I had rug burns on my ass for days afterwards.” 

Lucero arched a brow. The night in question had happened shortly after he’d crossed the planes and found himself in Ivan’s world. His need for his mate so consuming he’d literally tried to fuck his man through the floor. “Then let’s go before it again I tempted to try …this time without the abrasions.”

 “That’s a promise.”  Lucero couldn’t resist swatting Ivan’s ass as he moved passed. When his man looked affronted, Lucero shrugged.  “Master prerogative.” 

Ivan groaned.  “I should’ve never told you about that VH1 Classic’s channel.” 

“But you did…and I do have to say Mr. Brown has the idea quite right.” Lucero jerked Ivan up against him.  “Touching you, is most definitely my right.”

  

Stay tuned tomorrow to find out where Ivan takes his Master for a special holiday surprise…that fulfills a need his Master doesn’t even realize he has…on Kerry Adrienne’s blog.   And don’t forget to tell me where your favorite place to have a Christmas Party is…in the Rafflecopter form (or link) below…you’ll be entered to win a twenty dollar gift card from Amazon and a free copy of Don’t Call Me Iron Man. I’ll be drawing the winner on Dec 21^st and announcing the winner on my BLOG.

Blurb:

Once upon a time...there was this guy. A man who had an IQ out of this world and was arrogant enough to give the legendary Tony Stark a run for his money. He had everything he could ever want—a good job, more money sthan he knew what to do with, and all the sex he wanted—no strings attached. But that all changed on one fateful night... 

The last thing Ivan Chugunov expects when he drop by his favorite haunt for a few brews is to be entertained by a mysterious storyteller. But as he listens to the man's tale of a prince and an oddity that went by the name of Iron John, he finds himself lost in the story...only to awaken in another realm—one with a quest—for him. Repair the purifier vital to all those who lived and retrieve a medical unit. Seems simple enough and a small price to pay to return to his own time. 

Well, until he finds out that said 'LT-1789 unit' is actually a reclusive cybernetic man. One who will demand his own price of Ivan—three nights of unbridled sexual bliss...with Ivan at his mercy. Only then will he return to the royal clutch.

Can Ivan, a man who relishes control above all else, submit to a man who may be more machine than human?

An excerpt from Winning Bracket...by Annabeth Albert

“Hold up. If I filled out a bracket and mine beat yours, you’d do whatever I wanted? Like anything?”

“Sure.” Ollie shrugged, an insolent lift of surprisingly wide shoulders inside a too-big shirt. “I mean not all day. But sure, you want me to be a slave for an hour or something, I can take it.”

Ka-pow. The firecracker exploded, hot want raining down on Edwin, sparking against his skin. Anything. Ollie-as-slave images began to run on repeat in his brain, Ollie getting considerably less clothing with each pass. Edwin could ask for anything, and it would just be a joke to Ollie—a lark to be laughed over later, no more of a big deal than opening up with a can of silly string or shorting his sheets every night for a week.

Oh my god. Would it work? Could he use something like this—a stupid bet on stupid basketball—to exorcise the Ollie demons that had plagued him for years, all without having to admit how he felt about Ollie? Because while Ollie had been busy with the jock-crush-of-the-month plan, Edwin had been hung up on Ollie. For three and a half years. If a stupid bet could shake Edwin free, then it was worth having to learn something about basketball.

“Okay,” he whispered.

“Yay!” Ollie clambered off the bed, springs squeaking as he hit the floor. “You’ll see. This is going to be a great couple of weeks! So what are we going to play for this week? If my bracket does better by Sunday night, you send an email supporting the next watch party and you show up. And if you win…”

“I want a kiss.” The words escaped Edwin before he could call them back, before he could temper them with logic or suppress them with reality.

Do you write a series?

Prequel: The Vampire & The Werewolf:
A New Orleans Christmas

The question stopped me cold. Next week, book 7 in my erotic paranormal series comes out. I made PAN with the first book The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf: A New Orleans Threesome. I’m not a total promo ho, but I do hope the word gets out …

In honor of Her Wolf Ménage, which releases March 20, let’s take a look at the rest of the book family. We'll count-up, one a day. 

A New Orleans Threesome came first. Afterward, I was asked how the two main characters Trevor and Lawrence got together. Since I had the story in my head, I shared. Now, most people prefer to start with .5.

(Prequel): The Vampire & The Werewolf: A New Orleans Christmas

Vampires and werewolves don’t mix … or do they?

Before there were three, there were two. When a vampire swoops in to save Trevor from a rogue gang’s blood sport, the werewolf must fight his own inhibitions. The magic of New Orleans and the holiday season bring together these two unlikely lovers.

“In her first foray into the m/m genre, Ms. Bacio sets the pages ablaze in this sexy Christmas tale featuring two irresistible characters from her The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf series.  There’s nothing better on a cold winter’s night than cozying up with the vampire and the werewolf as they come together in this sizzling story.  This is my Christmas present to myself.”

Rebecca Leigh, author of Dirty Housewives

Excerpt:

Lawrence hated the thought of his kind hurting humans. It was his city, and he’d lived in peace here for a very long time. While he couldn’t control the actions of Mother Nature, he certainly could make sure that no vampires pillaged on his turf. Night after night, he’d set out in search of the blood-sucking rejects.

He shook his head. At least she would be all right. He wasn’t sure what he’d find further into the alley. Maybe a friend of hers, or a date. He turned the corner, and quickly accessed the scene: four against one.

He never killed unless necessary. He didn’t take more blood than he needed to survive. And his victims never felt fear or experienced unnecessary violence. Instead, he left them with pleasant fuzzy memories, like a night when they had partied too much, or a dream that they’d rather forget come morning. It certainly helped that he lived in New Orleans and could prey on unsuspecting tourists rather than dine on the locals.

Several years ago, he’d heard rumors about a band of misfit vampires terrorizing the streets. Ironically, incidents had happened close to Halloween, so the police had mistakenly been looking for a gang of teenagers acting like vampires. If the authorities had only known the truth. There were a few people within human society, pretty much on the edges of humanity themselves, who suspected and maybe even knew. Certainly, the author Anne Rice must have had more than an inkling to have written her vampire chronicles and manifesto staring the illustrious Lestat. She had done more for the prophesied soul of the vampire with those books than Bram Stroker’s original Dracula.

Lawrence had overheard countless conversations wondering “if.” Rice made readers believe that if they opened their second-story window, a vampire could very well be lurking outside of it. If only …

Although over his lifetime he’d known about other supernatural creatures, Lawrence hadn’t really come into contact with many. They tended to hang with their own.

If forced, he would have estimated that none of the four attackers in front of him were older than five years dead. What they’d possessed in numbers and sheer dumbness, he’d more than matched in strength, skill and maturity. As he entered the alleyway, he followed a trail of blood. Something smelled different about the spilled lifeblood on the dirty concrete. Whoever the ill-begotten vamps had been playing with this evening wasn’t human, but that didn’t give them any right to torture their victim.

“Hey doggy-doggy, let’s see you shift,” a male voice rang out.

“You like to take it doggy-style?” another person said. “I know a pretty-boy like you must like it doggy-style.”

Laughter filled the blackness of the air, and Lawrence readied himself for action. Most of the time, he’d simply help the one being held captive, but in this circumstance, he didn’t want the others to heal and then strike again. He needed to stop them, and finish them.
