I’d
like to thank Amber for hosting me today, and I love what you’ve done with the
site. If memory serves me correctly, I think I last appeared here in 2012 while
I was promoting my first book, The Progeny. I’m now writing the fourth in the
series, and have released three thus far. What a year I’ve had—full of ups and
downs, leaps forward and some stumbles backward. My writing has also evolved,
and as Amber’s banner says, “the naughty has come out of me.” I’m finding my own
unique voice and learning that I love being naughty.
Readers
will notice this as the heat levels rise from book to book. I even delve into a
little light bondage in Blood Promise. I have to admit that the thought of a
hot, virile vamp bound in cuffs and at the mercy of his mate does send shivers
through me. The scene I’m posting today was my first attempt at writing a
bondage-type scene. I hope you guys enjoy it. Also, as a special treat for the
followers, I’m offering one comment the first three books of the Progeny Series
as a thank you prize for stopping in. So, don’t forget to leave an email
address.
About Ashlynne Laynne
Ashlynne
Laynne has always had a soft spot in her heart for vampires but grew tired of
the garlic fearing, sun-loathing creatures of old. An avid horror movie fan,
she tends to enjoy media and music that is of a younger, more eclectic nature.
This was the catalyst for her writing The Progeny. The vampire/witch pairing is
unique and different when most books pair vampires with werewolves.
Ashlynne
loves writing on the edge and teetering between the erotica and romance genres,
and thinks of Ascher and Shauna as the wicked, damned version of Romeo and
Juliet. She is currently working on book four of her Progeny Series, book one
of her upcoming Rocker Series, and an untitled novella WIP. In her spare time,
she enjoys cooking, reading and spending time with her family. She juggles the
hats of wife, mother, full time employee and part-time writer, hoping to write
full time one day soon.
Ashlynne
lives in North Carolina with her husband and teenage son.
About The Progeny Series
At its
core, The Progeny is simply a story about a man and woman who fall in love, and
the fact that he’s a half-blood (half-human, half vampire) and she’s a Wiccan
human are secondary factors. When we meet Ascher, he’s grumpy. Frankly, who
could blame him? He’s engaged to seal to Ursula—a cold and careless vampire who
wants nothing more than to get her hands on a bloodstone— and he feels
conflicted about his existence.
All of
that changes when he meets Shawnette McCutchin. She’s beautiful, intriguing and
possesses some of the most potent blood that he’s ever smelled. A war
immediately begins inside Ascher. He craves Shauna’s blood just as much as he
craves her body and the closer they get, the harder it is for him to control
his urges. After Ascher calls off the sealing to Ursula, the trouble begins. His
family’s peaceful period ends when Ursula’s army attacks the Rousseaus.
This
series encompasses a family dynamic of which we’ve never seen. The Rousseaus
share a common mortal and immortal bloodline, but loyalty is the thread binding
this clan. Shauna and Ascher’s dissuaded love only strengthens the family
bonds. Their unique union transcends bloodlines and completes the prophecy,
defying the archaic beliefs of centuries old covenants while shattering the
wall between the Wiccan and vampire worlds that has existed for ages. This
series is erotic paranormal romance intended for adults, as it contains adult
sensuality, language and themes.
Blood Promise (The Progeny
Series #3)
Ascher Rousseau is a half-human, half vampire whose life has been a series of prophecies and predictions. After finding incredible love and passion with Shauna—a Wiccan with powers beyond anything he’s ever known—he seals to her and hopes for happiness. But his enemies seek to destroy all that he loves, and he finds that happiness never lasts for long.
Darkness is descending and a vampiric revolution is nearing. A new brood of hatchlings is born to join their darkling brothers, in preparation for war. A preordained chain of events is set into motion that could lead to the rise of the demonic “cloaked one” and his half-human fallen children, while ending humanity—as we know it.
Can a supernatural love and the loyal bond of a family save the Rousseaus and the world from certain extinction?
Excerpt from Blood
Promise
Cuff me...is
she for real? Of course she means it, you idiot. What did you think the
handcuffs were for? Now anxious with anticipation, he obeyed her
command, allowing her to restrain his wrists in the cool metal. Stepping
backward and keeping his gaze riveted on his brutally hot wife, Ascher fell
back into the sofa, naked and with bound hands that rested at the small of his
back.
Straddling his lap, her hips
circled against his hardness, pushing his restraint to the bitter edge. Her
kiss was different, her tongue deeply probing and her lips crushing against
his, brash to the point that they bruised the flesh, causing a dull ache that
radiated to every cell in his body.
“The venom, baby, please be
careful.” Overcome with lust and approaching the brink of his sanity, he was
still lucid enough to remind her about the poison in his blood. He was grateful
that the venom only bonded with vampire black cells; otherwise, he’d never
allow her to go down on him. The pleasure wasn’t worth the risk of turning her.
She nodded as though she
understood, kneeling in front of him. “I was going to blindfold you but decided
against it. I want you to see what I’m going to do. You’ve been a very bad
boy.” Tilting forward, her ruby lips formed an “o” as she blew a teasing stream
of breath against his rod, initiating contact and taunting him until his
fevered body pained with the need for any form of her. With a stiff tongue, she
lapped a slick circuit along the veins coursing his pulsing length and around
the delicate skin of his cockhead.
A wave of desire swept him,
submerging his human nature, awakening the primitive beast within. A throaty
growl emerged from the depths of his belly as her mouth slipped up and down his
thickened shaft. Her full lips drew in his swollen crown, gently pulling on the
tender tissue. His eyes rolled as her tongue tunneled into the sensitive slit,
leaving behind her crimson lipstick kiss as she extracted a thick bead of
pre-cum.
The telltale tingles in his
hands preceded the claws springing from his fingertips, as the lengthened
points of his fangs bit at his bottom lip. A combination of wet warmth, hard suction
and expertly timed motion lashed at him, bringing his release painfully close
to the cusp.
She seemed just as turned on
as he was. Her moans reverberated through his dick, while her eyes fixed on his
unmoving gaze. Steadily fisting him with her right hand, Shauna’s left hand
masturbated her clit as her head bobbed up and down—working him hard, milking
him with a gentle strength that echoed her familiarity with his cock and what
made it explode.
Blood pounded in his head and
swirled in his vision until he was lightheaded and panting for more, begging
for mercy. His hips pushed upward, meeting each thrust of her mouth with one of
his own. Pleasure ebbed and crested as everything inside him coiled and
tightened with tension, his vision blurring blind with fang pulsing, blood
boiling insanity. “Yes—yes—fuck me with your mouth, baby...make me come.”
Ascher’s throat rumbled with
animalistic growling that mimicked the most primitive of mating sounds. A hot
mix of heat, bloodlust and unbridled strength welled inside him. The flexing of
his hands slackened the bite of the silver manacles, until the sound of
twisting metal pierced through Shauna’s mouth-filled moans.
He was free, but remained
glued to the couch as climax weighted his yearning body. Heated waves travelled
through him, bringing the pleasure and prompting the pain of a release brought
on so violently...so quickly. “Oh, God.” A moan resonated from within. “Suck me
harder, faster...Oh, Shauna—baby, I’m going to...”
