King of the beasts that is. You know what that is. And you know who she is. And you'd best be bowing down - or curtseying at her feet.
Y'all know I love me some man-on-man action. And man-on-man shifter action makes me think of my True Blood true love Alcide (aka Joe Manganiello).
So, I thought I'd invite my friend and commrade-in-words, Sommer Marsden, over for a glass of wine and to talk sexy male shifters. Her newest book, Lion Hearted is definitely something to behold. Sommer, the floor is all yours.
Two Boys Kissing
On this particular road trip my boys kept
me hopping in the erotic scenes departmen. They were getting busy all over the
place. Including outside. One of my favorite scenes is when they have to make a
pit stop for gas and the effects of having been cooped up in a car together all
day gets the better of them.
It’s the first time we see little Rabbit,
aka Luke the empath, as the aggressor. Boy did my pretty young sensitive do a
good job bringing the lion down to nothing but lust:
Luke hooked his hand – the backs were freckled, Tryg
noticed – into Tryg’s waistband and tugged. He stumbled forward, though he was
so much bigger than Luke. Then he gave in to the part of himself craving the
contact, and pushed his body flush against Luke’s.
He crushed him to the wall and kissed him for all he was worth. Sliding his
tongue in and out of Luke’s mouth, licking him the way he wished he could lick
other parts of him at the moment.
‘Let you what, little rabbit?’
‘Just let me …’ Luke didn’t finish.
He sank to his knees, working Tryg’s button fly. His hands found him and
squeezed. Tryg thought if he were to suddenly drop dead, this is what he’d want
to be doing. Getting head from Luke.
There
is something so magical for me about this unlikely pair. A gruff, unlovable
enforcer for the lion pride and a drifter—a quiet empath—whose destined to tame
the wild one.
Good
stuff. It makes me want to find a nice breezeway somewhere and tempt the man
into giving me a kiss. Or maybe a bit more. ;)
XOXO
Sommer
He takes with him Luke Dorchester – an empath and the perfect travel companion. Luke can feel and soothe every emotion that coils deep inside Tryg, and the sex between them is the hottest Tryg has ever known. Tryg has no intention of letting his emotions go any further when it comes to this brand new man. But he also has zero intention of letting him go. What follows is a road trip from campground to campground, hot nights in hotel rooms and close encounters spent together as they follow the scent of the two abducted shifters. A scent that takes them to Divination Falls, a haven for shifters and associated magical folk; a place where an old evil will surface and Tryg will learn just how far his love for lion-hearted Luke must take him.

Lion Hearted

EXCERPT copyright 2012
It was a 30-minute trip and Tryg could feel
Luke studying him. He sipped coffee out of the travel mug, wished he’d eaten
breakfast, caught diner scents on the wind, and promised himself they’d eat
breakfast before leaving for real. Finally, he couldn’t pretend not to notice
any more.
‘What is it?’
Luke reached out to touch his cheek. He’d
shaved before leaving the house, but he heard the rough stubble move restlessly
under Luke’s touch.
‘I thought you’d have more hair.’
Tryg snorted. ‘Did you now? Why is that?’
‘You’re a lion.’
‘So you expected wild, waving puffs of
hair? A mane, perhaps?’ He grinned so hard it hurt his face. It made him
nervous, feeling happy.
‘Perhaps,’ Luke said. He turned away, and
Tryg caught the scent of heightened blood. Luke was blushing, he was
embarrassed.
Now he felt like a shit. Tryg caught his
hand up and squeezed. ‘Hey, no big deal. You don’t know what you’re dealing
with until you’re dealing with it, right? You probably hear a lot of rumours
about my kind.’
‘Yeah, some.’ Luke’s fingers twisted around
Tryg’s and he squeezed.
‘Like we live in animal form almost all the
time.’
‘Mostly.’
‘What animal is the most prevalent?’
Tryg felt Luke relax. His body went loose,
his breathing evened out. He felt better; the kid wasn’t tense any more. He turned
the Thunderbird with his left hand as he continued to squeeze Luke’s hand with
the right. ‘No single animal wins that race. There are lions and tigers and
bears …’ He smiled.
‘Oh my!’ Luke whispered.
‘Exactly. There are wolves, of course.
There are bird shifters and reptile shifters and –’
‘I heard some shifters can just shift –
into anything,’ Luke said.
‘True. Their DNA is more fluid, more
forgiving than most of ours. Most of us have a single animal we can transform
into. That animal is part of our DNA. It’s like looking like your mom but
having your dad’s double joints. We’re human but we can shift into a lion. So –
the ones who can just shift, they’re considered rare and special. Their DNA
kind of takes orders, if you will.’
‘Like “hey, body, today I’ll be an
alligator”?’ Luke chuckled.
‘Right.’ Tryg turned on to the lake road.
‘But me, I’m just a man. I tend to like my meat a bit more raw, I don’t really
like wearing clothes if it’s not a must.’ He winked. Parking by the lake, he
put the car in park and cut the engine. ‘I like to fuck my guy from behind more
often than not.’
He smelled the blood in Luke’s cheek again.
He was blushing once more. But this time it was a good blush, and it made Tryg
laugh even as he climbed out of the car to try and catch the scent of the
missing girl. For this he’d have to shift.
‘You gonna turn away?’ he asked,
unbuttoning his jeans.
‘Do you want me to?’ Luke asked.
Tryg realised the offer was sincere and
snorted. What planet had this guy come from? Most non-shifters he fucked were
all about seeing it happen. It was a time to gawk and observe. So they could
report back to their friends later about what it was like. A freak show.
‘I – hadn’t thought about it,’ Tryg said.
It was a lie.
Luke reached in the back seat and shoved
his hand into his duffle. When he pulled out a bandanna, Tryg blinked. ‘Here.
You can blindfold me if you like. I don’t think you’re a freak. I don’t want to
stare at you and see the sideshow. I just want to be here with you.’
Tryg swallowed hard. Something akin to
anger washed over him. A knee-jerk reaction that this kid had him pegged so
well. ‘It’s fine,’ he growled.
Luke didn’t touch him, but his voice went lower.
‘I mean it, Tryg. I can feel that frustrated rage and hurt inside you. I’d eat
this bandanna before I’d make you feel that way because of something I did.’
Tryg turned away from the open car door.
His eyes stung and his throat was tight. Goddamn it. This was not a good time
to feel all Dr Phil. ‘It’s fine. Do what you want,’ he said. He tried to keep
his voice neutral. He failed.
Then he dropped his jeans, shucked his
shirt, and let himself shift the same way some people let themselves take a
deep breath when they were about to undertake something difficult. The world
muffled and he was all intention and purpose. His nose picked up a mélange of
scents. He had to find the scent of his own kind and then follow it.
