Take It Thursday: A refresh for these two Doms

The Bandit Brothers Series is coming to an end, and I am sure, very, very sure, that this is the last cover refresh these books get.

I mean, never say never, but I am very, very sure,

The plan is to get the paperbacks up to current covers by the summer!

Flame For Two by Raleigh Damson

 

Here’s a teaser from Flame For Two

Her hands immediately went to Logan’s waistband, and her trembling fingers unzipped his jeans. “I can’t wait to see how you suck him,” Xander said, his hand over her shoulder. Her skin grew heated from his words.

“I can’t wait to feel your hot mouth on my cock, kitten,” Logan said, his hands on her cheeks, brushing her arms. Harper glided her hand around his long, thick cock, the skin soft, and her fingers barely able to circle it.

“What are you waiting for angel?” Xander asked, from behind her.

Harper needed no more encouragement. His cock slid right into her mouth. His male musk assaulted her, making her moan low in her throat. Logan played with her hair as she licked and sucked, drawing his length into her mouth as much as she could.

“Take all of him, angel. See how he likes that? You look so beautiful sucking his cock,” Xander said, his hand on her back. God, this made her feel so desirable, somehow. Logan’s fingers danced along her throat, under her jaw.

“That’s it, kitten. Your hot mouth feels like heaven.” Logan’s low tone made her whimper.

“Don’t forget his balls, angel. Reach out and fondle them, give them a lick after you’re done dragging that pretty tongue of yours from his tip to his root.” Xander’s instructions urged her on as if she was a matchstick he had lit. She was wet and needy again, longing for cock to fill her, as she licked and lapped Logan’s full heavy testicles. Her mouth covered the tip of his glistening penis and Logan threw his head back.

“See how his muscles bunch for you as you lick? He wants you. He’s restraining himself.” Xander’s warm hand on the small of her back kept her grounded to him as she floated away, a heady mix of longing, desire and power coursing through her. She hummed around his cock, trying to take him deeper and deeper, so deep he bumped the back of her throat.

Happy Birthday, to the Submissive who Loves Two Doms…

Or to the book where the submissive loves two Doms and doesn’t want to choose. A year ago, Flame For Two was released into the world! This book – took a lot to get done. I had the most editing eyes on it and the most editing passes. I was worried about writing from three different perspectives if I could maintain three other voices>
I adored these characters and wanted to ensure I did right by them.

These characters haven’t quite left me, and if you haven’t checked out the bonus scene, it can be found here. If you are on my newsletter list, you can expect a new bonus scene this Friday.
This is my best-selling title to date, and I love that so many readers have found something about Logan, Xander and Harper they can connect with!

Writing Update and Flame For Two $0.99 cent sale!

The skies I am under have been overcast for the last couple of days, and I feel both like dramatically donning a cloak and packing a trunk for a grand new adventure in a steam=punky way AND curling up by the fire.

I think it’s safe to say that I long for some alone time.

While I’m waiting for Flame For A Weekend (Dax and Gardenia’s story) to be sent back to me, I am trying to get back to Mulberry and Nick.
I am loving this book. It’s both darker- because we get into the nitty-gritty of her kidnap and maybe, just maybe, find out who was behind it–and lighter because it’s a fake dating trope- than the other books, and it’s fun, though reminding myself where I left off and trying to find the flow of it again, feels a bit sluggish. Thank gods for my outlines!

 

And Monday.

So this week, my household’s usual routine is thrown in the mixer as half of the members are away. I feel utterly exhausted at the moment and by the day, but it was fun and sound and a lot more quieter than I am used to.

And somehow, I managed to get 15k down, which is fine but I feel like I have been on this chapter forever. Gardenia is about to tell Dax her past; it’s not the only secret she’s hiding, but it’s a start. Got a lot of ground to cover in one weekend, you know.

And I have to constantly remember not to forget Gardenia’s cat Snowflake. And on twitter, I called her Snowball…oy. Most of my characters do not have pets and I kind of prefer it that way, though pets are fun and require no character arc/development plot.
Going to try to finish up this chapter and start at a new page for tomorrow.

Art Can’t Always Imitate Life

It feels like forever that I have been working on Sasha and Finn but this story started off as 10k and now it’s hovering between 55k and 65k and it needs a bit more work. The question of how much “realness” can I put into a piece of smexy fiction always crosses my mind. I feel like in some cases, I’ve held back, not wanting to cross into erotica- to try and stay in one genre that is more on the contemporary romance/ romantic suspense side. And then there is the balance of the suspense arc and wanting the suspense arcs to have their storylines intact.

On the good days, I feel like my books have done that. On the days when I read a fine smutty-erotica book, I want to unpublish mine; but I can only make the next book better. And on the very crummy days, I go read about the kind things Ivy Whitaker has said about my books here. 

I might just frame this quote so I have it to look at when I have doubts about this series and these two arcs that are written in every book. “I love the balance of kink and the overarching storylines that surround a private security company. It’s difficult to keep those two plot lines going without sacrificing the other, and I have to admit, I’m impressed with how Damson balances these developments.” ~Ivy Whitaker

In Sasha and Finn’s story, I did use a piece of real life, and I plunked into the setting of Club Bandit. And friends, it doesn’t work.

My beta readers thought it did for various reasons; but here’s the thing, I want to write good stories with lots of kink and spicy things; not reinvent the kink wheel.

In a group of friends one evening, a “hey check this out”, the photo was passed around and I thought about that for a long while, mostly because I am in awe of people’s astounding flexibility; you know, when you have none you kind of murmur in admiration and two, it looked beautiful.

It was a photo of a friend of a friend, suspended by aerial silks, and tied in bondage, using the aerial silks.

And when I went to add another theme room to Club Bandit as one does, this entered my mind. But it really doesn’t work. For so many reasons, not the least of which I actually didn’t write a bondage scene, but I used the aerial silks more hammock-like, as something to hold Sasha on, then tie her with, and in the recent edit, bondage is a hard limit for her anyways.
Okay, so maybe you don’t know a circus performer, certified aerial yoga teacher who likes to be a rope bunny on her off nights; fair point.

And maybe it’s a stretch to think that an aerial silk theme room would be in a BDSM Club but I liked it.

So I have to rewrite this chapter and then Sasha & Finn have to be set aside again as I turn my attention back to Book Four.
