Take it away, Charlene!
**********
Thank you for having me here today, Parker. I enjoy sharing
my thoughts with others, and with the holiday for lovers just around the
corner, I thought I’d share few tidbits that are sure to make that night a bit
more special. *wink*
They’ve been around longer than anyone really knows and
whether you believe they are what they are because of folk lore or science,
they enhance intimacy just the same.
They’re aphrodisiacs.
My personal favorite happens to be cinnamon. It’s been shown
to increase both physical and sexual appetite. But, when you rub cinnamon oil
on your body, it produces a powerful sexual stimulation. Plus, I just like
cinnamon, the smell, the taste, the feel... *smile*
Another favorite is honey. It’s been known as the nectar of
Aphrodite. In medieval times, people drank mead (a fermented honey drink) to
increase sexual desire, but honey is rich in B vitamins, the same vitamins
needed for testosterone production.
Strawberries, Asparagus, Caviar, and Truffles are also foods
that are high in vitamins that get that blood flowing, and for obvious reasons,
legends have associated them with our physical make up, tying them to enhanced
sexual experiences.
In my new release, One
for Kami, food isn’t what pushes Kami’s buttons, though. It’s an
unfortunate side-effect of her transfer to a different dimension. If only she
hadn’t just left Ian behind and could have some privacy. Lol.
Excerpt
Voices surged and Kami clung to the illegible sounds. A low groan rode alongside them. The vocals ebbed from her mind. Mute gray light drifted before her
eyes, a flash of white, and then a haze.
Darkness covered her vision.
A sour pang caused her to lurch and she heaved, the voices clambering
from a distance. The back of her
skull thudded against a hard surface.
Words broke between melodic and static riffs.
“Kami, breathe.”
Another groan punctuated the din, so close she opened her
eyes to find the source. A woman’s
profile came to view, a bright silver aura hazing the edges. Her long arched nose and narrow chin
set a shocking presentation to add to her crinkled eyes and white hair. Her thin lips moved with a soft
sound. “Get that cleaned up before
she sees it.”
The senior turned to her, and Kami’s focus zeroed in on her
pale blue eyes. Eerie yet kind,
they held her attention. Folds on
the woman’s face deepened with her smile.
“Well, you made it. You had
us worried there.”
Kami blinked hard and swallowed, acid burning the back of
her throat. “What happened?”
“You were a little nervous during the transport, that’s
all.” The woman nodded to someone
off to the side and Kami rolled her head to the side to see who it was. The silver-blue aura stretched to the
edge of a circular platform and she realized she lay on Ober’s transport
base.
“Let’s get you sitting up. It’ll clear your mind and help you focus.” The escort slid her hand behind Kami’s
neck.
As she pushed herself up, heat pulsed in her lower abs,
spasms rushing through her core.
Her breath hitched and she leaned forward, pressing her arm along her
hips until the sensations dulled.
A heavy sigh rushed from her lungs, causing the ache in her breasts to
intensify. She brushed her palm
along her chest to relieve the sensitivity, but it sent chills down her
spine. A shutter clenched her
stomach and the process started all over again.
God, this is awkward. I need privacy here.
A chuckle rumbled to her left and she glanced at the man
beyond the hazy stage. His blond
hair curled around his forehead and tapered to a band of shaved hair along the
back of his head. His white lab
coat hung loose around his lanky shoulders. A wide smile bloomed on his lips as he knelt beside her and
held out a bottle of water.
His brown eyes sparkled with humor. “You’ll be mighty sensitive in those
regions for a while with the level of panic you emitted. But that side effect will let up.”
She accepted the drink, a question on the tip of her tongue
she didn’t want to voice.
“All of this affected your nerves,” he motioned to her
private parts as if he had every right, “and those there are the most sensitive
parts of a body. I’d take you as
my third right now just to enjoy the fallout. Yes, sir, close the quota with a redheaded elite.”
Kami leaned away from him and his offensive comment. That is wrong on so many
levels. How rude could one person
get?
The woman pursed her lips into a little grin. “This is Conrad. I’m Coral. We’ll show you around the city and get you acquainted with
things before we let you roam on your own. We can show you key areas to envision so you can sync and
not have to deal with the vehicles they use here. Horrid contraptions if you ask me. Just remember to be hidden when you do so nobody sees you
disappear. Of course, we’ll be
around should you need us during your stay.” She motioned with her nod. “Now, let’s get you off this Ober base and steady on
your feet.”
Kami glanced at the platform. “Sure glad this fog isn’t a lingering effect.”
Conrad’s cheery chuckle burst into laughter and he held out
his hand to help her up. She
grumbled under her breath and with a glower accepted the offer. His fingers slowly wrapped around hers
and his thumb brushed along the top of her palm with light caresses. The sensual touch sent a charge to her
nipples and spasms to her core.
Her breath hitched, fire burning her cheeks and ears as she flush.
Her gaze snapped to the glint in his eye. The idiot did that on purpose! She snatched her hand from his
grasp. “I think I’ll let Coral
help me up.”
Another burst of mirth spit from Conrad and his hand flew to
his mouth, stifling it into a sloppy snort. He peeked at her through gleeful lids and turned his palm to
her in an apologetic gesture.
Kami looked at Coral to find the woman’s lips pinched
between her teeth, the corners fighting to keep a serious regard.
I have to deal with these people for a week? She swore under her breath and slid
from the platform, abandoning the bottled water. Pushing herself to a stand, she steadied her feet and tugged
at her blouse to regain any dignity she had left.
Coral’s head tilted to the side and her white waves brushed
her cheek. “Oh, Kami, I’m sorry,
dear.”
She pulled her into a
hug. “Things will settle down.”
Conrad sniffled and folded his arms across his chest,
nodding with agreement as he calmed.
Her pale blue gaze sought Kami’s as she held her at arm’s
length. Brows pulling together,
she whispered. “You are still a Vella,
correct?”
Kami hesitated, studying the lady’s demeanor. What does being a maiden have to do
with anything?
“Yes.”
“Then I suggest you keep a little distance between you and
fellows while you’re here. They’ll
flock to you with that beautiful hair and those sweet blue eyes. And you’ll find them hard to resist in
your current state.” She
winked. “Gotta save yourself for
marriage, you know.”
Riotous cackles exploded and Conrad doubled over, staggering
to catch his balance.
Kami’s mouth dropped open. “God, give me a break!” Shrugging out of Coral’s touch, she marched along the
cobbled path toward the exit.
“I’ll find my own way around.”
As she gripped the doorknob, realization caused her to
pause. She glanced at her
snickering guides.
“Um... Is my new boss a man or a woman?”
Conrad’s mirth rose to a new level and filled the
arboretum. She huffed and marched
out the door, his snorts and cries following her until he choked on his own
breath.
