What is Kobo Plus Subscription?

Today, we want to answer the question, “what is Kobo Plus”, so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to get it this subscription program for readers.

What is Kobo Plus?

Kobo Plus is just like Kindle Unlimited (KU), but instead of through Amazon, the books are featured on Kobo in their Kobo Plus subscription program. It’s available in several countries, including the United States (USA), United Kingdom (UK), Canada, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Denmark, and more countries.

Kobo Plus has over 1.5 million eBooks and over 150,000 audiobooks to choose from. The good news is that Kobo Plus is always adding new eBooks, audiobooks, and expanding into new countries.

The two big differences between KU and Kobo Plus are the cost, and that Kobo Plus is much better for authors.

As of publishing this article, a Kobo Plus subscription costs $7.99/month for unlimited eBooks or unlimited audiobooks, and $9.99/month if you want BOTH eBooks AND audiobooks. That sounds like a steal when you read as much books as Ash does. It basically pays for itself with just 2 eBooks or 1 audiobook.

In KU, authors must make their eBooks exclusive to Amazon and cannot sell or make them available for libraries. That means if someone pirates an author’s books, Amazon could not only take down their books, but the author could also lose their Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account. Plus the ability to sell books from their site, which would affect a LOT of the author’s readers.

In Kobo Plus, an author can have all their books available to not only Kobo readers, but anywhere else the author wants to have them available, like libraries, Everand, Apple Books, Google Play Store, Barnes and Nobles, and retailers that do not have an exclusivity clause.

We understand that not everyone has the means to pay full cost for our books, and that’s one reason we added our books to the Kobo Plus subscription program. That way, readers who access books through libraries, Libby, Everand (formerly Scribd), Hoopla, etc. can still enjoy our romance novels without breaking the bank.

The Kobo Plus subscription free trial

Yes, Kobo Plus has a free trial period for new subscribers, and it’s the perfect way to see if Kobo Plus is worth it for yourself. So there’s no harm in trying it out.

Just make sure you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends.

How to access your Kobo Plus books

Wondering about how you can read or listen to books in Kobo Plus? They have an app called the Kobo Books App, which is completely free to download from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. In addition, you can put the app on any device.

Now, below are specific links for the eBooks and audiobooks in Kobo Plus.

Is Kobo Plus worth it?

The answer to this question depends on how many books and/or audiobooks you read or purchase in a month.

If you spend less than the cost of the subscription on books every month, then it might not be worth it. Like every subscription service, you want to make sure you get your money’s worth.

Best 10 Sex Toys for Romance Readers (Vulva Owners)

Tantus Silicone Paddles

If you have a vulva and love reading steamy scenes one handed, I want to share some of the best body-safe and quality sex toys for romance readers with you. I’ve included some of my favorites including impact play toys, lubes, and a waterproof blanket too for easy clean up. 😉

As you may know, sex toys can be amazing for pleasuring yourself, getting multiple orgasms, and experimenting with yourself and/or your partner.

So get ready to scream as you hit multiple orgasms with these amazing sex toys reading your favorite scenes! Most come with a 1 year warranty and can be stored discretely—bonus!

Best sex toys for romance readers

1. We-Vibe Melt by We Vibe.

Whether you are new to sex toys or experienced, I highly recommend the Melt for amazing toe curling clitoral stimulation. It’s easy to use, waterproof, made of soft silicone, and comes with a 2 year warranty.

Why? Because of We-Vibe Melts small size, the unique shape of the mouth, and a wide range of air pulsation intensities are perfect whether you like to start slow and gentle, or ramp up to intense suction and vibration. The pulsation intensities range from very low to super high.

Love nipple play? The oval head is just right for sucking your nips too. Oh, and because of the shape of the handle, it makes it much easier to hold and control from many different positions.

Even better, We-Vibe Melt comes with an easy-to-use remote app that when connected, can be controlled from anywhere in the world from a partner or your phone. The app has a variety of vibration patterns and intensities to choose from, so you can switch things up whenever you want to.

Honestly, if I had to recommend one clit toy for vulva owners, this would be the one. It’s great for pinpoint stimulation, used with a partner for sexy times, and perfect for most body types. A favorite of mine!!!

2. Inya Rose Toy by NS Novelties.

Another favorite of mine, you’ve probably seen this Rose suction toy all over Social Media, especially on TikTok. In fact, it’s an affordable sex toy that over delivers for how much it costs.

Made of silicone, this Inya Rose clitorial sex toy has 3 different suction intensities and 7 patterns to choose from. The suction intensities start really high, so if you want to buy a sex toy that starts low, skip this one.

But if you like to live on the wild side, or are short on time, this Inya Rose air pulse toy can have you coming in seconds. It goes from 0 to 100 very quick, so if you are into forced O’s and edging, this one will become your new BFF and leave your legs shaking.

The first 3 speed settings are like this:

1. WOAH, Holy Shiiiit.

2. OMG – Remember to breathe while you O!

3. There is no thought for this one because you will be incapable of brain function and leave your body from how strong the orgasms are.

3. Pillow Talk Sassy by BMS Factory.

With a curved head, rumbly vibrations, and a quiet sound when in use, this Pillow Talk g-spot vibrator is great for adult romance readers of all ages. It’s not huge, so it works great for most vulvas and the rumble is comparable to a shifter or grumpy hero grumbling into your pussy. 😉

The Pillow Talk Sassy’s curved shape makes it easy to hold, move around, and change the vibration intensity as you use it. Perfect for hitting the g-spot!

It’s made of silicone and is splash-proof, not waterproof.

4. Njoy Pure Wand Double Ended Steel Dildo by Njoy Toys.

This curved, medical-grade stainless steel toy is amazing for g-spot stimulation, has no motors, and will pretty much last forever. All you have to do is clean and dry it after use.

The Njoy Pure Wand is weighty and double-ended with two bulbs, a small and big one, measuring 1″ and 1.5″ respectively. Both ends will give you distinct sensations too. 😉 😉

And because it’s made of steel, you don’t have to worry about what type of lube to use with it.

Sometimes referred to as the squirting sex toy, the Njoy Pure Wand has helped many people have their first squirting and g-spot orgasm experience.

Want to learn more about squirting with or without this toy?

OMG Yes has some great videos on how to, and finding the technique that will work for you. One of the practical videos even features this Pure Wand.

Again, the Njoy Pure Wand is perfect for intense g-spot stimulation. And if you like temperature play, this is your toy! It’s initially cold and warms to your body unless you warm it up first.

5. Magic Wand Rechargeable by Vibratex

Formerly known as the Hitachi Magic Wand, this OG wand is body-safe, durable, and has amazing rumbly vibrations with 4 steady speeds and 4 patterns to choose from.

The Magic Wand is the sex toy to get if you like broad stimulation for your clit and vulva. You can even attach a g-spot accessory like this one to the silicone head to turn it into a multi-purpose sex toy (highly recommend).

This vibrator wand is also great for anyone looking for sex toys that help with squirting. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s not waterproof.

If you want a waterproof cordless wand, click here for the highly recommended Viben Sultry.

6. Womanizer Duo 2 by Womanizer.

If you’re looking for one sex toy that will give you amazing blended orgasms, this is the one! Talk about simultaneous, mind-blowing clitoral and g-spot orgasms.

The Womanzier Duo 2 is waterproof, made of silicone, has a 5 year warranty, and comes with two different sizes for the suction heads. This means you can pick a suction head that fits your body and clit.

The suction head section for the Duo 2 stimulates your clit while the rumbly vibrating arm stimulates your g-spot. Talk about the perfect combination!

You can even choose to use only the suction head, or only the vibrating arm alone. Both vibration and suction intensities range from low to super high.

Be ready to roll your eyes back with the blended orgasms from the Duo 2. A fun toy for forced orgasms!!!

7. We Vibe Nova 2 by We Vibe.

A waterproof, rumbly, and soft silicone made rabbit vibrator, the We-Vibe Nova 2 is similar to the Womanizer Duo 2 above.

The biggest difference is that instead of a suction head, you get a vibrating head. In other words, you get two stimulating heads, one for internal and the other for external.

Even better, because this Nova 2 rabbit vibrator has flexible vibrating arms, so you can adjust it to fit your body. It’s sturdy, bends easily, and quiet when in use.

The Nova 2 provides you with dual stimulation (g-spot and clitoral), comes with a 2-year warranty, and the We-Vibe app for remote control and long distance play.

8. Mr Hankeys Toys Dildos by Mr Hankeys.

Friendly reminder, don’t let their size intimidate you when you buy a dildo from Mr. Hankeys.

Made of high quality silicone, you can use it for vaginal or anal play. They also come in a wide range of sizes (from extra small to 4XL), textures, and colors to choose from. Have a custom color in mind? Just email them.

You can also add vac-u-hole when you place your order in case you want to attach a dildo handle or a suction cup to it.

I’ve ordered from Mr. Hankeys Toys several times and the quality of their product is top notch. Their customer service is quick to respond and answer any questions you may have.

I recommend you start with 75% soft, that’s the ideal silicone softness choice for most users.

Two of their popular realistic dildos are The Rentman and Topher Michels. For fantasy dildos, their popular ones are Seahorse and Dragon.

9. Satisfyer Pro 2 with Vibration by Satisfyer.

It’s one of the first suction sex toys I purchased, and let’s just say it’s a fun addition to your toy chest.

This Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 2 has both suction and vibration, a silicone head, and is cheaper than the Melt and Womanizer Premium 2. Plus a great variety of suction and vibration intensities.

If you are new to sex toys, this Satisfyer Pro 2 is the one I recommend because it’s affordable, and perfect for experimenting with what you like and don’t like.

The suction intensity can go from gentle to what I would consider medium intensity at the highest speed setting, so if you want intense suction, skip this toy and go with the Inya Rose or We-Vibe Melt.

Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 2 is also perfect if you have a sensitive clit because of the the gentle and super low air pulse settings.

A fun sex toy for edge play, slow build up, and sensual play.

10. We-Vibe Tango X by We Vibe.

Looking for a bullet vibrator or something you can easily hide in your purse? If yes, then this small We-Vibe Tango X vibe is perfect because it’s only 4 inches long and about 1 inch thick.

Visually, this bullet vibe is about the size of a large lipstick. It comes with a 2-year warranty, is quiet when in use, and has a travel lock.

The Tango X vibrations are powerful for a bullet vibrator, and it’s one of the best for pinpoint clit stimulation. It has 8 different speed settings, some patterns, and two separate buttons to increase or decrease the vibration intensities.

11. Swan Maximum Bullet Vibrator with Silicone Grip by BMS Factory.

This bullet vibe is like the We-Vibe Tango X mentioned above. The key differences are that it has more intense speed settings and costs less. Also, the vibrating head is designed for dual purpose stimulation, both pinpoint and broad, so it’s ideal if you want a vibe like this.

The Swan Maximum comes with a silicone grip that makes it easier to hold when in use. It has one button for steadily increasing or decreasing the vibration speed, while the Tango X has 2 different buttons for this function.

12. Velvet Thruster Prime by Velvet Thruster.

Interested in a silicone thrusting dildos? How about one you can design and customize to suit your desires? Well, the Velvet Thruster Prime is exactly that and more. It’s like a small sex machine that you can design, customize to fit your needs, and carry with you in a bag.

Even better, the Velvet Thruster Prime dildo shafts are exchangeable, so you can buy different shafts to go with it. As you customize it, it has the following to choose from:

a. Multiple thruster head options with different lengths, girth, colors, and shapes. So you can switch things up whenever you feel like it.

b. Multiple base colors.

c. Multiple accessories like the Long Reach Handle for solo play, the Partner Play Handle for couples play, and a suction cup for the base.

The Velvet Thruster Prime lightweight, has 6 speeds, and thrusts up to 140 strokes per minute. Plus, the rechargeable battery when fully charged gives you up to 8 hours of play time.

Let me repeat that again, up to 8 hours of amazing thrusts!!! The only caveat is that it’s not waterproof. However, compared to sex machines, it’s not expensive.

For more Velvet thrusting dildos simply click here.

13. Womanizer Premium 2 by Womanizer.

For air pulse sex toys, the Womanizer Premium 2 is one of the luxurious and most powerful suction toys as of this writing.

Premium 2 is super rumbly, made of body-safe silicone, and has a wide range of intensities from really low to super high. It has a Smart Silence Technology, which means it stops pulsing when you move the head away from your body. Super handy if you don’t live alone.

When you buy the Womanizer Premium 2, the package comes with two heads of different sizes, so you can try both to see which one fits your body better.

14. The Swan Wand by BMS Factory.

Another fantastic g-spot sex toy, the Swan Wand happens to be my favorite of all the g spot toys I’ve tried. It’s waterproof, made of silicone, and very rumbly with up to 8 hours of play time when fully charged.

The Swan Wand has a pronounced curve with two ends, a small and big one. The bigger end gives a really nice full feeling that I haven’t found with other g spot toys yet. It’s perfect for size queens!!

The smaller end is less powerful than the bigger end, and a little bit buzzy. When you compare the bigger end to the Pillow Talk Sassy, it’s definitely more powerful and rumblier than Sassy.

Vibrations for the Swan Wand are also super strong and intense like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Plus, it has 3 steady vibrations settings and 4 patterns to choose from.

If you are looking for a waterproof wand that you can use for both g spot and broad clitoral stimulation, buy this wand.

15. Womanizer Starlet 3 by Womanizer.

This air pulse toy is one of the cheaper and smaller Womanizer suction toys. It’s great if you want to explore Womanizer air pulse products without spending a lot.

The Womanizer Starlet 3 suction quality is like the Premium 2, but with 6 speed settings and less intensity. Premium 2 has 14 speed settings and is way more intense.

16. Lovense Hush 2 by Lovense.

This t-base vibrating, silicone, and waterproof anal sex toy is one of the best anal toys out there. The Lovense Hush 2 comes with a remote control so you don’t have to worry about pushing the buttons on it to change the intensity when you use it.

You can connect Hush 2 to the Lovense app to discover more vibrating patterns, control the intensity with your phone, and for long distance remote play. For more fun, wear and let your partner control the settings.

Want to take your orgasms to another level and have your world shifted?

Use the Hush 2 along with your favorite vibrator or suction toys. Talk about body shaking, explosive, and toe curling orgasms from another world. The vibrations are very strong so start on the lower settings.

Now if you are new to anal play, please go with the smaller sizes. You will thank me later.

17. Njoy Pure Plug by Njoy Toys.

If you want a body-safe and super smooth stainless steel butt plug, this is the one to buy.

The Njoy Pure Plug is weighty, comes in different bulb sizes from small to extra large, and will last forever if you take care of it. And like the Njoy Pure Wand, you can use it with any type of lube. It’s not super long, so if you want something longer, certainly get one of Mr Hankeys dildos.

As you can see from the picture above, the Njoy Pure Plug has a secure T-base so you don’t have to worry about it getting sucked in and taking a very embarrassing trip to the ER. It will stay in place and not pop out when in use. The bigger the size, the more stuffed you will feel.

You can even wear the Njoy butt plug comfortably for longer time periods, like when you are out and about doing errands, shopping, etc.

Sex toys for the pain enthusiast

If you like impact toys, then add some of the silicone paddles from Tantus. Their paddles range from stingy to thuddy, and in between.

For thud, the Thwack and Wham Bam are great. For sting, the Pelt and Dragon Tail are awesome.

Tantus also has other sex toys from dildos to butt plugs and many more. Click here to see some of the Tantus dildos.

Wooden Paddles by Miss Rose Creations.

If you prefer wood to silicone for your impact toys, then Miss Rose has everything from stingy to thuddy wooden paddles. Her paddles are made from exotic woods so be ready to be wowed. I mean who wouldn’t want to be spanked with 300 year old wood?…okay that sounded better in my head.

Nipple Clamps

Another fun way to experience a different kind of orgasm is to place a nipple clamp on you nipples while you pleasure yourself. Just make sure you don’t leave them on for more than 10 minutes.

For super intense nipple clamps, I’ve found the Master Series Black Japanese Clover Nipple to be great.

For a milder nipple clamp, this one from Sportsheets will do.

2 Sex toy essentials you will need

Lubes

When picking lubes, avoid anything that has glycerin in it. Also, only use water-based lubes for your silicone sex toys so your toys can last longer.

My favorite water-based lube is the Sliquid H2O. And for silicone lube, Uberlube is my go to.

Both are great!! This is coming from someone who is super sensitive with perfumes and products and reacts to laundry detergent. These are the lubes I have found to be safe and effective that doesn’t mess with my PH.

Waterproof Blanket

Don’t want to worry about your bed, couch, car (I’m not judging) getting wet?

Get this waterproof blanket because it’s easy to use, fits nicely in a washing machine, and is available in different colors and sizes.

Probably go with the XL and grab an extra so you don’t have to wait for the other one to be clean before you have some messy fun!

Plus, you can even wash it with your clothes, so no need to do a separate wash. Drying is also easy as you can dry it in the dryer as well.

That’s it for now!

I hope next time you want to read one handed, a toy on this list of sex toys will be your next battery operated friend. 😉

To read a book that has steamy scenes with sex toys, check out our romance novel, Promising Today by A. M. Kusi. It’s available to read on all retailers.

Best 10 Enemies to Lovers Books for Romance Readers

Emotional romance books are one of my favorite type of books to read. I want that intense roller coaster of emotion, the steal your heart, stomp on it, shatter it into a million pieces and then put it back together just a little different romance.

Of course all this drama can’t be for drama’s sake. I need it to tell a story, further the plot, and growth of the character.

I have a couple hard lines for this: no cheating, abuse by the hero/heroine.

Honestly, I love an emotional story that will leave you so affected after reading that you can’t adjust to real life right away. An emotional romance novel that makes you look at the world just a little differently, usually through more empathy.

Best emotional romance books that will make you cry

Below is my list of ten of the most emotional romances I’ve read and absolutely fallen apart with, only to be put back together in the most beautiful ways. I’ve also included a free romance book you check out at the end.

1. Defying Gravity by A. M. Kusi

Yes, this steamy contemporary romance novel is one of our own. It broke both Marcus and me while even plotting it. There were tears. We had to take a break.

But why?

Because weaved into this powerful and beautiful love story is the reality of what it’s like to be Black in America. And how seemingly small “Micro” aggressions have a tremendous impact on human lives.

Bently and Belle are two people with a horrible past. Bently chose to shut himself off to love and the risks of being vulnerable. Belle chooses to not take for granted the happiness available to her despite surviving a dark past. They both have room to grow. And that is exactly what happens.

One of our favorite quotes from this romance book is: “Because when everything in this world tried to break you and tear you down, you defied gravity.”

2. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

This novel will forever be a favorite emotional romance for me.

I love when romance books take you beyond the love story into an important issue or theme. This novel triggered me. It taught me. And it changed me.

We have a heroine who witnesses her father abuse her mother again and again. She swears she will never be with someone like that. But then she meets a man who is mysterious and handsome after she moves to a new city to try to locate her childhood love.

This book had me inside out and up and down. I couldn’t put it down.

Trigger warning for this as it deals with domestic abuse. It was such an emotional read because it shows the reality of how a woman can get stuck in situations that leave so many questioning, “Why didn’t she just leave?”.

It Ends With Us is a novel will forever be one I recommend.

Buy on: Amazon | Apple Books | Barnes and Noble | Google Play | Kobo

3. The Air He Breathes by Brittainy Cherry

Brittainy takes the cake for stories that move you and make you reach for the tissues.

This emotional romance book is a story of a man who’s lost everything and a woman who’s lost her way.

Two grieving people who find respite with each other. Their way of connecting isn’t conventional, and that makes me love it that much more.

But somewhere along the way, they fall in love and get a second chance neither of them thought they would find. A truly exceptionally moving story.

Buy on: Amazon

4. In The Grey by A. M. Kusi

Okay, yes, all our books in the Shattered Cove series and world are emotional, but the two listed in this post take the cake.

In The Grey is one of the most emotional romances we’ve ever published because the story was so personal to me.

Emma has it all. She’s a rock star making it big, yet still she struggles with not being happy. Not feeling as much as she should. She struggles with depression and fights self-harm urges. The man who raised her dies, and she’s brought back to Shattered Cove to deal with his affairs along with his son, whom she has loved for as long as she can remember. But he seems to want nothing to do with her.

They get stuck going on a cross-country road trip together to dump their father’s ashes in the Pacific ocean, and along the way Emma reaches for the one thing she thinks is missing to make her happy. But true happiness isn’t external. And sometimes you need a little help just to get through the day.

This spicy romance novel is heavy, and it’s emotional. But there are parts that will make you laugh and swoon.

In The Grey is truly a story of fighting for your life in a battle with mental illness. An emotional read that will have you reaching for the tissues a few times.

Here is one of our favorite quote from the book: “I will dance with you in the light, carry you in the dark and love you in the grey.”

Request from Libraries: OverDrive | Scribd | Hoopla | Your Local Library

5. Hook Shot by Kennedy Ryan

This steamy book is another emotional romance. Trigger warning for sexual abuse. It takes on some hard to talk about topics—this entire series is amazing.

Lotus is one strong woman who has had a lot to overcome. She’s sworn a year of celibacy to work on herself, and of course that’s when she meets single dad and perfect hero Kenan.

It was a beautiful and emotional story of strength and healing. Highly recommend this series.

Buy on: Amazon

6. Most Of All You by Mia Sheridan

A story of two broken people who had given up on anything remotely close to love. I am a sucker for a wounded character and this story has two. Because I love to see how they grow and overcome their pasts.

Mia is a storyteller. She weaves such a gorgeous and emotional romance that is realistic and beautiful. This story also takes on some really dark topics.

When I say our main characters are wounded, I mean, these are life altering scars. And that makes a story like this so inspirational and beautiful because despite the ugliness of their pasts, they find healing and happiness.

Bring the tissues, grab a beverage, and snuggle up with this emotional romance novel.

Buy on: Amazon | Apple Books | Barnes and Noble | Google Play | Kobo

7. The Law Of Moses by Amy Harmon

This is another author who will pull at your heartstrings and tear it to pieces before attempting to put it back together. I listened to the audio version of this book and I highly recommend. The narrator was fantastic.

This emotional read is a second chance romance with some pretty big secrets that come to life that I can’t share because it would be a spoiler.

An unwanted baby boy, grown into a man who isn’t sure where he fits in, especially with his gift. Our heroine was warned to stay away from him, but of course she sees something in Moses that she can’t stay away from.

Moses is an artist that creates breathtaking pieces, but those paintings often result in him getting into trouble because of what they represent. Instead of facing his feelings, Moses shuts our heroine, Georgia, out. Fate brings them together again, but their reunion is raw and super emotional.

Georgia is a strong heroine who has had to face a lot and overcome it on her own. If you want an ugly cry, this book is it.

Buy on: Amazon

8. Kiss The Stars by A.L. Jackson

When A.L. Jackson releases a new book, I have to mentally prepare to have my heart torn to shreds, but I know she’ll put it back together in the end. It’s always worth it.

This book is one of my favorite emotional reads from her. It hits the romance tropes I love like single mom, wounded hero, and romantic suspense.

Honestly, Jackson’s writing style is so raw and emotional you’d literally have to be a psychopath and incapable of certain emotions to not get emotional over her books.

If you like bad boys, secrets, and emotional reads, definitely read this emotional romance book, or add it to your TBR.

Buy on: Amazon

9. Watch Over Me by Mila Gray

I love stories where the heroine is on the run and the hero falls into a protector role, but also one that balances a strong heroine who can take care of herself and/or loved ones. And this romance book has all of that.

The heroine is on the run with her mother and siblings from her abusive father, who just got out of prison after their house caught fire and they highly suspect it could be him.

Enter the most patient and caring hero. These two don’t have an easy road, but that’s what makes this story so enjoyable and emotional.

Buy on: Amazon | Apple Books | Barnes and Noble | Google Play | Kobo

10. Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

I mean come on, emotional romance is basically Colleen’s middle name. Or, you know, it should be, because WOW. This emotionally intense book destroyed me.

When the average person thinks of love, we think of pink hearts and rainbows and passion and beauty. But Colleen highlights the ugly sides of love—losing that love. Grief. And how it can make you think you’re too broken to ever risk opening yourself up to love again.

If you always want a tear jerker, then Colleen’s your woman.

First steamy romance novel excerpt from Under My Skin

Roy’s attentive eyes watched her in rapt attention, as if studying her every reaction. She’d never been so vulnerable with someone before. Standing here naked, letting him see every part of her.

“I need you.” She kissed him, not waiting for an answer.

She tugged the hem of his shirt. Roy lifted it over his head, letting it pool on the floor with her discarded clothes. Needing to make him as vulnerable as she was, Tessa grasped his belt, undoing it before moving on to his zipper and button.

Roy’s big hands cupped her face so tenderly as his mouth pillaged hers—relentless and determined. He stepped out of his pants—he was once again sans boxers. She pushed him towards the bed, but he picked her up. She looped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Cool air rushed over her flushed skin creating goose bumps before he tossed her on the bed and went back to the closet. Her brows drew together as he lifted the mirror from her door and carried it to the other side of her mattress. He set it against the wall so she was staring at her reflection before he stepped around the bed, coming behind her. He threaded his fingers through her short curly hair, turning her head so he could capture her mouth with his. His cock pressed between her hips, nudging her pussy lips from behind as his other arm clamped over her waist. His tongue invaded her mouth, his teeth nipping and tugging. She moaned.

“Fuck me. Please.”

“I need a condom—”

“Hurry.”

He left her to grab a foil package from his pants on the floor. She focused on the mirror as he ripped it open with his teeth and rolled the latex over his dick. The mattress dipped as he climbed behind her. Tessa crawled onto all fours, gaze locked on the reflection of him sliding into her. He bit his lip, his forehead crinkling in pleasure. She moaned as he stretched her, fueling the ache. Strong hands held her hips in place as he pulled her onto his lap. She gasped in surprise. With their knees bent, bodies joined, and eyes locked, he forced her hips up and down. She rode him, and he met her thrust for thrust. Breath for breath. Curse for illicit curse.

“Fuck, Tessa, you’re so perfect. Love the way your cunt feels so tight around me.”

“Roy, fuck, Roy! More. Give me . . . more.”

He kissed that sensitive spot behind her ear, raking his teeth over it and sending spirals of pleasure spinning her up.

He thrust deep and hard. “Look at the mirror. Watch how beautiful we are when we fuck.”

The sight of them together mixed with the sensation of him moving inside her sent a wave of pressure barreling over her.

“Please?”

Roy reached down, his fingers sliding between her folds once more. The moment he made contact with her clit, sparks and shimmers danced in her vision. He swirled his tongue around the side of her neck, matching the strokes of his digit.

“Rooooy!” Her muscles seized as her orgasm crashed through her.

“That’s it, baby. Come for me. Look how gorgeous you are when you come.” His other hand glided up to her chin, angling her head towards the reflection.

Another shock of ecstasy drowned her in warmth as he fucked her harder. Her body burned with lust fire. Need and desire raged like a storm, and she was ready to combust again. He moved against her. Something was so sexy about this position. As if he were in complete control. All she had to do was let him manipulate her body, and in return, he gave her pleasure like she’d never known.

Tessa wanted him to join her in this cloud of bliss. She needed more still.

“Come with me.” Her voice was all breath.

“You want me to fill you up? Give you everything?”

“Yes!”

He pressed her front onto the mattress, sliding out of her and flipping her over before he was back inside her body. Face to face, he slammed into her.

She moaned louder. Pleasure snaked around her, cinching tighter and tighter with each rock of his hips.

“You’re mine, a stór. Say it.”

Her mind was muddled by the sensations buzzing through her veins and the pulsing euphoria and wildfire of overpowering need scorching her veins. Still, she knew without a doubt she was safe with Roy. That she could trust him. “I’m yours.”

“And I’m yours.” He crashed into her until the storm within her seemed to consume him too. Her orgasm splintered her into a million little pieces, destroying and healing all at once. She screamed.

“Fuuuuck, Tessa!” Roy’s shoulders bunched, his abs flexing as his strokes became wild and frenzied. His grip grew bruising as he thrust once more before his cock pulsed inside her.

Roy’s lips coasted against hers, gentle and tender before he deepened the kiss. Her body trembled, still lit like a live wire from aftershocks as she tried to catch her breath.

Roy rolled off her, tucking her against his heaving chest and kissing her temple.

Second steamy romance novel excerpt from A Fallen Star

Naked and panting, Remy moaned as Mikel sucked her clit into his mouth. “Harder,” she commanded.

His beard scruff scratched her thighs, the sensation only adding to the building pleasure. “You’re so bossy in bed. I like it,” he said before he did just as she’d asked.

He was her only. Aching need zapped her body.

“Oh, god. Yes!” she screamed, taking advantage of the fact that they were home alone—their first night officially living together.

He flicked his tongue, circling around the pearl that throbbed for more of his touch, teasing her. She whimpered and wiggled, every nerve ending alive and seeking the raw euphoria his body promised.

“Please,” she begged.

He inserted two fingers inside, curving them upwards to her G-spot while he sucked her clit. Overwhelming ecstasy pierced through her, transporting her to the heavens. Stars filled her vision as she arched her back off the bed.

“Holy fuck!” she cried.

“I wanna make you come all night,” Mikel said, his deep voice against her tender sex sending another wave of pleasure echoing through her body.

Her heart beat wildly in her chest. The hollow ache between her slick thighs begged for Mikel to fill it. “I need to feel you inside me.”

He smirked and pushed his fingers into her. “Like this?”

“No, you. I need you inside me.” She grunted in frustration.

“You need to be more specific. Do you mean my tongue?” He licked and lapped her swollen folds.

“Your cock,” she said, her body heating from lingering shyness. He was pushing her boundaries.

He chuckled. “What my baby wants, she gets.” He spread her thighs, wedging in between them. “I want to feel you so bad.”

“I’m on the pill,” she said.

“You sure?”

“I want to feel you without anything between us.”

Mikel nudged the tip of his cock past her entrance, slowly sinking into her. He groaned, as her eyes fluttered from the blissful sensations. There was nothing like this. He moved with drawn-out, hard thrusts.

Their breathing synced as he rocked her, filling her body with intoxicating euphoria.

“I’m so close,” he warned.

Remy couldn’t bear the thought of him pulling out and missing that connection. She was almost there too. “Come inside me. Come with me,” she said.

He grunted as she squeezed him closer with the heels of her feet.

“You’re so fucking sexy. So beautiful. Are you ready?”

She moaned in response.

“I’m gonna come inside your tight pussy,” he said, thrusting faster and harder. Incapable of forming words, she dug her nails into the flesh of his back.

His thumb tenderly traced her cheekbone as his movements slowed, elongating the pleasured sensations. He gazed at her lovingly, touching a place she hadn’t known existed inside herself—connecting them body and soul as he made love to her. Mikel kissed her, sucking her bottom lip into his mouth and raking his teeth over it.

His actions mixed with his dirty words caused her body to combust. She splintered around him, squeezing her thighs against his hips as he growled his own orgasm, tensing and pulsing inside her.

Panting and breathless, he smiled at her. “I love you, Remy.”

“I love you too.”
