  About the story:    
     
 

Shelli can never have foreseen how one revised board game is going to change her life forever.

It all begins when she prepares to attend her company’s annual dinner and dance party with her best friends, Adrian and Ethan, but she gets more than she bargains for when lust hits her right between the eyes the moment she catches them in flagrante delicto. She is so shocked she denies the attraction and thinks herself a voyeur, then is totally thrown out of her depth when she is tormented by fantasies of threesomes. But how can she risk their long-time friendship for sex?

Adrian and Ethan are happy as a couple, but they want Shelli too. After several failed seduction maneuvers, they decide to give it one last try by seducing her with an erotic board game especially designed to set them all afire.

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
         
         
  The following is a NEW excerpt from the story for your enjoyment:  
         
 

Remembering the discussion he wanted to have with Ethan, Adrian moved down his lover’s body and gave his cock one regretful lick before sliding up to settle beside him. “You were in a hurry tonight.” He referred to their wild coupling.

Ethan raised his head and supported it on an upraised palm. They stared at each other intently before he answered wryly, “So were you.”

Though he had always been able to speak with reasonable frankness with Ethan, his usual embarrassment with Shelli overcame him just then. His gaze slid away. “I, uh, there’s something I have to tell you. I don’t know how you’d feel about it but I’d appreciate if you could, uh, that is, keep an open mind—”

“Is it Shelli?” Ethan interrupted.

Adrian’s gaze flew back to him in a hurry.

“Have you suddenly realized what a desirable woman she is, how frustrated she made you feel tonight and you want to fuck her but you’re afraid she doesn’t like you in that way?”

With each phrase, Adrian nodded, though he was bewildered as to how Ethan could know what he was feeling. They were close and could almost read each other’s minds but this—

“Good,” Ethan said with a savage light in his eyes. “Because I feel the same way.”

Incredible joy ricocheted through him. “You do?”

“Yes. So now we go about seducing the lovely Shelli Madison.”

Now that he knew Ethan shared his goal, Adrian was able to voice out his doubts. “But tonight, it didn’t seem like she wanted to fuck us. For one thing, she flirted with all her colleagues when she wouldn’t even give us the time of day, though we were supposed to be her dates.” He sent Ethan a sardonic smile. “For another, she went off with that guy and let him have his way with her.” He looked curiously at his lover. “What did you do to him anyway?”

Ethan cracked the knuckles of one hand and sent him a very satisfied smile. “Let’s just say he won’t be bothering Shelli anymore.”

A sudden thought struck him. “You didn’t beat him, did you?”

“No,” Ethan said, annoyed. “I don’t want to get Shelli into trouble. I just warned him very succinctly and fiercely what would happen to his crown jewels should he go near Shelli again.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t have. What if she fancied him?” Adrian sighed and shook his head. “Because it sure looks like she’s very satisfied being just friends with us.”

“We’ll just have to change her mind.”

Which was just what he was thinking earlier on. “I don’t want to ruin our friendship for the sake of a fuck, Ethan.”

“We won’t,” Ethan said impatiently. “Look, I was there at the party too and I saw what you saw and I agree, your interpretation of things could be right. But what if—for the sake of argument—what if she’s hot for us the way we’re hot for her? She could be confused and bewildered at her new feelings and so, she hid behind safe and known actions. Until I get a definite ‘no’ from her, I’m not giving up.”

With each word that Ethan uttered, Adrian felt hope springing from within him. “What’s the plan?” Adrian had a good brain and if applied diligently, he could have come up with something. But Ethan’s was more cunning and he always had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

That was why he knew better than to interrupt when Ethan’s eyes lost their focus the way they always did whenever he was thinking. But when he laughed some time later, Adrian knew his lover had hit onto something.

“I’ll tell you about it later,” Ethan promised as he lay back on the bed. “But now, shouldn’t you continue what you were doing with my cock?”

Adrian laughed. “With pleasure.”

Their mood changed, shifting to one tinged with sexual anticipation. Adrian heaved himself up and bore Ethan onto the bed and at the same time, claimed his lips. Their flesh rubbed and slid against each other, causing his blood to rush through his system in pounding excitement. Ethan’s mouth moved sweetly beneath his and the duel with his rough tongue sent a pleasurable tension to lodge in his belly.

Ethan moaned a protest when he trailed his lips down his chin and over his throat. “Later, baby,” Adrian rasped. “We’ll go back to kissing later.”

He worshipped his lover’s muscular body with his lips, licking the hard muscles on his chest, the tight ridges on his abdomen and laving the begging nipples. He sucked on them for awhile and Ethan’s gasps of pleasure heightened his exhilaration. All this while, he was aware of Ethan’s engorged cock thumping against his thigh and calling for his attention. So while he sucked on his lover’s nipples, his hand found the iron-hard cock and stroked with deft skill.

Ethan strangled on a breath and a moment later, Adrian felt his hands pushing into his thick hair and gripping tight. He loved these evidences of Ethan’s wild hunger for him but if he wasn’t careful, he would probably be bald before he reached forty.

Holding Ethan’s cock steady by the root, he treated him to several languorous licks up and down his entire throbbing length. “Adrian…” Ethan’s voice pleaded both torment and redemption and his fingers gripped his lover’s hair even tighter as his breathing grew harsh and shallow.

Adrian wasn’t unaffected. His own cock had grown hard and aching and he itched to take it in his other hand but he restrained himself. He wanted to lose himself in Ethan’s tight ass, after he had given his lover his pleasure.

Heart pounding and trembling with expectation, he licked and lapped his way up to the purple mushroom head, swirled his tongue around the pre-cum that had oozed out and felt Ethan’s gasp snake its way down to his swollen cock. He opened his mouth, enveloped Ethan’s cock and sucked him—deep, strong pulls that soon changed to fast, choppy ones as Ethan’s hands guided the rhythm. His free hand moved down to fondle Ethan’s balls and by their tightening, he knew Ethan was near—

About the story:    
     
 
 

Book 1 of Musical Aphrodisiac

A magic violin that rules them all in lust…

Chelsea is enthralled by the magnetic violinist Kyle Montgomery, and at the first pure notes that trilled into the night, she is bombarded by a lust so powerful she lost her breath. She loses control of her body, and she hungers constantly for the hardness of a man's arms around her. To confound her further, she finds herself attracted to the equally compelling brilliant composer Grant Thornton...who dislikes her.

Bound by the magic that flows from the violin, the three are inexorably drawn to one another to assuage their deepest needs. But when the notes fade away, who will be left to hold the violin and play the symphony?

 

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
         
           
  In the following excerpt, Chelsea saw Kyle for the first time:  
         
 

Half an hour later, when Kyle Montgomery walked onto the stage, she realized the picture hadn’t captured everything about the man. Like the fact that he walked with an innate grace that made her think of sex, or that he oozed blatant sensuality. His total visual impact stunned her starved senses but it was when he lifted the violin to his chin that he looked so incredibly sexy she felt an almost alien throb in her pussy.

Her breathing quickened and she leaned forward to get a better look at him. God, she hadn’t felt anything remotely sexual in a very long time. There was an instant flash of guilt, however, he started playing and the music made her forget everything but the beauty of the sounds filling her ears and the image of the man drawing the enchanting notes from the instrument.

The music slipped through the crack in her wall and bathed her soul with startling brilliance and fiery hunger. From the first note, she craved for more and the lilting sound filled her, transported her to a place where there was nothing but the beautiful music and the lovely imagery it conveyed.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, or how long she sat in that position, riveted, her mind blank, knowing nothing but the mesmerizing sounds that had lifted her soul, when the applause all around her shook her out of her trance.

“Didn’t I tell you he’s great?” Harold beamed at her and clapped enthusiastically.

“Yeah, great,” she agreed faintly, her hands coming together slowly. Her gaze followed Kyle Montgomery’s movement on the stage as he exchanged his violin for another one on the stand behind him.

The second violin was smaller than the first and the fingerboard flashed golden under the lights. There was a hushed silence from the audience in the brief second when he lifted the instrument to his shoulder, then the sweetest, most wondrous sounds she’d ever heard floated toward her.

The first note hit her like a sexual cannonball, because desire started stirring in her and built up in tempo and strength with each measure that he played. The composition was something she’d never heard before but she was enthralled by the beauty of its haunting melody and each rousing note pushed her higher and deeper into heat until she was a mass of burning lust. Nothing like this had happened to her before but her confusion was pushed aside as her body made its demands known and she could do nothing but flow with the music, riding the crescendos until she reached a sexual peak she’d never experienced before. She wanted—no, needed—to feel the firm, solid pounding of a hard cock, driving into her with force and power, over and over, until she screamed from the strength of her release. She needed the heat of a man’s skin against hers, the unyielding weight of his body on hers, his mouth on her breasts, her mouth, every inch of her body—

 
           
           
           
  New Contracts      
           
  Yay! Ellora's Cave has contracted another of Madison's books, entitled Psychic Heat, a hot tale of intrigue about a woman telepath and her two lovers. This is the first book in what looked like a trilogy, as Madison starts plotting the second, tentatively entitled Psychic Seduction. She is currently busy working on the edits for Psychic Heat. Below is a short description of Psychic Heat:  
           
 

Telepath journeywoman Rhiane loves her job as a translator at the Federation of Intergalactic Commerce. When she starts to experience frequent blackouts, she’s terrified that her psychic powers are fading. She seeks the help of Master Healer Morgan, only to realize that he and his lover Jaden were the men with whom she had a magnificent, unforgettable one-night stand six months ago...a night she couldn't forget, but never wanted to remember...

Attraction flares anew, and this time, Morgan and Jaden are not taking the chance that she would disappear from their lives once again, no matter the cost, no matter how hard she resists. However, dread chills their spines when they discover that Rhiane’s blackouts may not simply be due to work-related stress, but that someone may have a sinister motive for deliberately tampering with her mind…

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
           
  Ellora's Cave has also contracted Madison's At Long Last, Love, a story that has a little bit of magic in it.  
           
 

Drowning in dire financial straits, Tyler Morrison journeys to the back of beyond to claim the inheritance left by his great-aunt, only to discover that financial freedom comes with a price, a price he may not be willing to pay…

Elise longs for love, but she seems cursed to remain single and loveless all her life. After fighting a losing battle years ago, she’s resigned to her fate, but hope flares anew when Tyler comes into her life, when he appears intent on pleasuring her as much as receiving pleasure in turn. Yet, trepidation fills her, for what would happen when he learns who and what she really is?
