Might as well ask how long is a piece
of string. For me it varies, depending on how well the ideas are flowing and if
I actually forget I have a family to look after, while my head is stuck in
story land. So anywhere from four weeks to a year to write a 50k story.

PG Excerpt from Crimson by Holly
Roberts
His whisper sent shivers across my skin, “Past the alcohol, I smell
your arousal. It’s calling my name, as does your blood.”
His hand ran over my arm, fingers trailing the sculpted outline of
muscle. I couldn’t move. I didn’t want to move. Every nerve I possessed craved
his touch, vibrated with need and screamed for more.
More him, more burn between my thighs, just—more.
One hand remained in my hair; the other tipped my chin up so I
looked into his eyes. “I’m hungry but I don’t think I can ignore the alcohol.”
He sniffed me again. “I have one question. Are you here willingly?”
“What?” I couldn’t have heard him correctly. What the fuck did
willing have to do with this?
“Are. You. Willing?” This time he asked slowly.
I tried to shake my head but his grasp was too firm. The haze that
clouded my brain since entering the room dissipated slightly. “What does
willing have to do with anything?”
His eyes penetrated straight through me. I could feel them
dissecting my brain, seeking answers that I was unable to give. “It has
everything to do with everything.”
The sudden release of my hair and chin had me stumbling back.
Grabbing my arm to steady me, he looked down at my shoes. Dropping to one knee,
he slipped them from my feet and my hands landed on his shoulders before I
could stop myself. Once I stood barefoot, his face traveled up my leg, scenting
me again. My dress lifted slightly when he reached the hem. His nose carried
the material up just a bit until he stopped at the juncture of my thighs. His
hands went to my ass as he pulled me against his face. I arched my back
grinding myself even closer.
What the fuck was happening to me?
“Are you hungry?”
I looked down. His chocolate eyes were gazing into mine. The slow
curve of his lips gave him the most kissable mouth I’d ever seen. He released
my ass and stood in one fluid move. He repeated the question and finally my
brain decided it could function. I hadn’t eaten since before my drunk-fest the
night before. Maybe that’s what was wrong with me.
PG Excerpt from Universe
Hunters by Connie Scholey
Their nude bodies had no
meaning to either male except as vessels. Cali no longer felt uncomfortable
around Blazar and Deimos. They were witty and charming. They swore they had
only three more planets to visit and she would be home. Except they looked less
eager to return her as time went by, especially after the first time Cali
hugged them upon their return. They had been gone a particularly long time,
long enough their normally hot bodies after a hunt, were only a little
uncomfortable to touch. As they cooled down, their embraces were longer. Both
men were not shy about seeking out her embraces when she explained a hug was
offered as a show of affection. Deimos innocently referred to embraces as
gifts.
Each night, the alien males came to her and with their special abilities they
filled her belly pleasantly and cocooned her to sleep in warmth. It was so
close to being loved Cali forgot she was basically a captive. Deimos seemed
fascinated with the concept of mating. He explained their way of joining was
different. There were no females or males, just entities. Their species needed
to join but not for procreation, procreation was carefully monitored, but for
socialization and comfort. Their platonic joining was how they helped Cali feel
safe and warm at times she ‘regenerated’, the word was Deimos’. Cali told him
she slept. Blazar’s favorite place she learned early on was the console; Deimos
loved talking to Cali when he had a spare moment.
“Your joining with me is fascinating. So you love with all of your being?” Cali
asked Deimos. They sat side by side on the healing bed. There was no other
furniture; after all, what would a light need with chairs? It made sense to
Cali.
“Yes. We absorb each other, grow brighter, stronger.”

PG excerpt
I finally caught a long
look at him in the kilt. Considering it was basically a skirt, I didn’t expect
it to look so sexy. Somehow he’d managed to take something feminine and make it
one of the most masculine things I’d ever seen. From his shaggy hair and bare
chest down to his boots laced up around his thick calves, he looked like a
warrior from another time. Or like a model about to do a photo shoot for some
new kind of rugged cologne inspired by the Highlands. A horse could gallop by
any minute and I’d expect him to grab its reins then hop on while telling me
Evian’s new vitamin water gives him the power he needs to fight the the Kingdom
of England in the war for independence.
I told myself to swallow
so I wouldn’t drool. His mouth was moving. Was he talking to me?
Crimson Warrior by Holly
S. Roberts Excerpts
Excerpt Two:
He lifted my breasts causing me to release his
so he could put his mouth on my skin.
The stinging pain happened so quickly it took a
moment for my brain to catch up with what he’d done and I flinched. He’d bitten
me. He lifted his head and just a touch of fang flashed before he leaned in, closing
his lips around my nipple again. He sucked it into his mouth making me go on to
my toes.
He lifted me off my feet with strong hands
wrapped around my hips as he lay back on the bed, my nipple still in his mouth.
My pelvis slid over his jeans, the folds of my pussy rubbing against the
material. He moved his leg and I completely straddled his thigh so I was able
to push against him.
The suction on my breast stopped and he pinched
hard on the other nipple. It felt so damn good.
“I’m going to bite.”
Was he fucking kidding me? Just do it. I needed
the sting.
