Thursday Taste: "Satin and Steel"
Thursday Tasters is a group for writers who want to show short excerpts of their
awesome work every Thursday. All genres permitted and a comment on each work will
encourage everyone to keep going with WIP's. Our blog is http://thursdaytasters.blogspot.com
This Thursday's Taste will hopefully wet your pallets, My Lovelies; in response to the many comments and messages I've received, today I'm posting a sneak peak at
Satin and Steel:
The Books of Blood and Fire
Book 2.
“You will not find
the demon hunting in plain sight down there on Broad Street, ma cherie.”
Rhiannon spun,
hand on her katana. Leaning casually against the shadowed side of the
chimney-stack, there stood a tall, wild-looking woman. She wore hunting
leathers, like Rhiannon, and a flowing white pirate’s shirt. When the woman grinned, Rhiannon saw the
fangs in her winning smile… though she needn’t have seen that to know what she was looking at.
“Oh, silly me,”
the creature purred. “Perhaps it is you who are hunting Broad Street? Were you searching for a throat to feed
on? I am quite sorry if I have
interrupted…”

Heart of a Stray (Pt 2)
He peered mischievously at the other two
through half-open green eyes. Anoki
raised an eyebrow, then his face broke into an equally smug little grin.
“Rinse off, Nya,” Achak commanded, all
chiding gone, leaning close to nuzzle her behind the ear. “Then we’ll see what we can do for the birthday boy.”
Nya smiled, too, first at Anoki and then
winningly at Achak. She’d been feeling
very tired, exhausted in the aftermath of fear and running from the angry
werewolves. Now, though, home with her
boys, she felt safe again, and relaxed.
The thought of making love, as always, renewed her spirit.
Heart of a Stray (Pt 1)
Nya was a long-limbed, athletic
creature, sleek and agile, even more so than most of her kind. She didn’t have the brawny upper body
strength of some wolves or the tightly-coiled, whipcord ferocity, a vicious
asset in close-quartered fighting… but she could run. Like a rabbit, she
could run, swift and nimble, skilled in sprinting and amazingly light on her
feet.
Of course, wolves caught rabbits all the
time. And what they did to the rabbits they caught was not something Nya liked to think
about.
Commentary: Heart of a Stray
This is a story that has been brewing for a while, simply looking for the right plot to give it life. I've been fascinated with the idea of writing a "Perfect Love Triangle" polyamorous couple for at least a year. The phrase"Perfect Love Triangle" was actually used by one of my middle school teachers in describing the conflict between Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot. The key to the "perfect" triangle is that all three members love each other. It's not a matter of two men fighting over one girl (or two women over one dude)... each member loves each other in equal measure. I'm not sure anymore if I really agree with the Arthur/Gwenny/Lance "perfect" triangle anymore, but when it occurred to me to write something feature a polyamorous trio instead of a traditional couple, that was the phrase that stuck in my head.
I've written threesomes before, of course, but always in the context that a threesome sex scene is more about the kink of it than anything else. In Heart of a Stray, this threesome is more about the romance between the three partners. As such, it is perhaps a bit more fanciful, a bit more sugary than other group scenes I've written... but I'm very happy with how it turned out. For one thing, I'm especially happy that though it's a M/F/M threesome, the sexual engagement does not entirely revolve around the female.
Finally, Heart of a Stray is part of the Blood and Fire canon that I've mentioned before. In this story you'll get a little bit more of a glimpse at the makeup of the five demon nations, especially the second and third "bloods", werewolves and shadiil. There's a little more insight into the role of "bastard" demons (like Rhiannon, my lady vampire from Lotus Petals), called "four-fangs". But while I could write many more stories about how these particular supernatural characters fit into the greater web of the Blood and Fire hierarchy, for now I am happy to give you just a sweet little tale of their relationships to each other.
Oh, and some hot, heavy sex. Can't have a Foreplay and Fangs short without hot, heavy sex, of course.
So I hope you enjoy Heart of a Stray!
