It’s great to be here, thank
you for inviting me to come along today with my new release erotic romance,
‘The Old Star’.
Just
a little about me to let your readers know who I am.
I
live in the United Kingdom and I work in
an antiques shop as well as writing. I have two dogs that keep me fit with
their need for walks. Love the countryside and the coast.
I
write romance, contemporary, and erotic with a twist of mystery, suspense, or
the paranormal, now and then. I like to make the story unusual in some way, by
a quirk in the tale. My books are always steamy.

I’ve brought along my hero
and heroine from the book today so sparks might fly a little
Meet Cathy Faraday and Owen Sheringham
Hi, Welcome to the blog, Cathy
firstly will you tell us a little about the book you and Owen feature in.
The Old Star is the story of
me looking for new office premises. I do find somewhere, a converted house that
‘calls’ to me. It’s a spooky story but a love story too. There’s some real life
type things happen in the story to offset the darker parts. I can’t say too
much as it would be a spoiler.
Would you like to tell the readers about how you and
Owen met?
Cathy:
Actually no because I think
that would be a spoiler, don’t you Owen?
Owen:
I agree, let’s tell the
readers about the first time we made love instead.
Cathy:
Okay…well, I was very
attracted to Owen right away. He’s my ideal, and I’d always knew I would need a
man who made my heart pound the minute I saw him. It was love at first sight
for me and I know what you’re thinking…that doesn’t exist…although I don’t
think Owen fell for me right away did you?
Owen:
I might have, and not known
it. I was in a dark place when you came along.
Cathy:
We fell into each other’s
arms quickly though. I just let myself take what you offered.
Owen:
I noticed that, as you dug
your fingertips into my waist and moaned. (smiles)
Cathy:
I seem to remember you
moaning too.
Owen:
You’re so very sexy darlin’
(Owen puts his arm around her shoulders and Cathy kisses his ear. Now he’s
holding her head with a handful of her hair and…now they are kissing…)
Author: We are in public you two. How about telling
the story?
(They stop kissing, but
remain cuddled against each other. Owen is stroking Cathy’s neck. I’m ignoring
it.)
Cathy:
Well we actually had sex when
there were cleaners in the rest of the house. It’s a long story, but a
locksmith was about to arrive to. It was just impossible to resist being with
Owen. It was delicious. (sighs and kisses Owen on the jaw)
Author: Owen tell us something about Cathy, how would
you describe her in a few words?
Owen: Cathy is strong, sexy, intelligent,
pretty. She has her own business. She’s friendly too, helps people. She’s mine,
which I’m so thankful for. I can’t imagine living without her now.
Cathy: That’s a lovely thing
to say, I feel the same about you…(is trailing her fingertips around on his
chest muscles, good thing he’s wearing a shirt. I’ll ask another question)
Cathy describe Owen in a few words.
Owen: He’s loving, he’s sexy,
and surprising too. He’s creative and generous. He can still be a bad boy
though…he swears…I’m used to it and sometimes it’s sexy…
Owen:
Let’s just give the readers
an excerpt to read and that way I can take you home to bed.
Author: I think that might be a good idea. Thanks for
coming along to Dawns blog today…mmm maybe I should have said visiting the blog
since you two can hardly keep your hands off each other.
Cathy: Thank you for inviting
us Dawn. I do hope your readers enjoy the excerpt and the book.
Here’s the excerpt 18+ R
He kissed
down her neck again and slowly moved his hands up into her T-shirt. He found
her bra and unclipped it as she sighed, and kissed his ear and jaw. He cupped
her breasts and sighed too. She felt so good, her skin so soft, her nipples
hard against his palms. He went back to kiss her mouth, and as she opened it to
touch his lips with her tongue, he groaned a little enjoying the kiss. His cock
hardened and his hands left her breasts to open her jeans. She kissed him and
unzipped his jeans as he unzipped hers.
She had her
hands in his shorts and her fingertips were cool on his cock. He wanted to
thrust so badly, but he wanted his fingers against her clit. He wanted to slip
a finger into her pussy and feel the moistness, have her thrust on his hand and
so he whispered. “Help me. Pull your jeans down…open your legs a little. I want
my fingers in you, Cathy.” She pulled her jeans to mid-thigh and took her
panties with them. She put her hands up around his face and kissed him, her
tongue in his mouth as he fingered her. She was gasping and so was he. Their
kisses interspersed with it.
“You feel
so good…” He murmured.
She made a
little sound and answered him. “It feels great, it’s delicious. Owen there are
people in the house. What if they come in search of me?”
Owen felt
his cock straining against his clothes.
He nibbled
her lips. “I need you badly.” He was circling her clit with his thumb and
working his fingers in her. She began to thrust on his fingers and held his
waist hard. It made him smile against her lips as her fingers pressed hard into
the sides of his body. Suddenly she was groaning softly, her mouth by the side
of his. Her hips thrust and he realized she was coming. Knowing this made him
harder and he groaned as she finished. He held her for a few moments waiting to
judge if he should pull her down onto the floor and fuck her. His thought sent
spikes of desire into his cock and up between his legs.
Cathy took
his fingers gently from her body. She kissed his lips and then she pulled his
jeans and shorts down to his knees. He helped her thinking she would back him
against the window and straddle him, but she dropped to her knees and took his
cock into her mouth. The sensation was overwhelming and he moaned as he held
her head, his hands bunched in her hair. He thrust his hips towards her mouth
as she sucked him and her fingers curled around his thighs. She ran her fingers
over his buttocks and then between his thighs as she sucked. Owen felt his
orgasm build. It started between his legs and then spread to his sac, his cock,
his legs. It overtook him in a huge wave of delicious feeling that had him
breathless as he it went on and on when Cathy stroked his thighs.
They both
became still at the same time and then Cathy was taking his cock from her
mouth. She started to stand and he helped her. He looked at her lovingly as
they both pulled their clothing back into place. He wanted to cuddle her to his
body, stroke her disheveled hair back behind her ears. Kiss her ears. He moved
to her as she zipped up her jeans and felt behind her back to clip her bra. He
held her face. “That was so good Cathy, and so helped me. I was miserable for a
while, and you’ve made me happy. It’s made me happy meeting you. I want you to
know…” ‘What do I want her to know? That
softness fills my heart when I see her. That I actually find her lovely,
sexy…that I want to fuck her…’
“You’re
special to me,” he finished.
Cathy was
looking at him and in her eyes he read affection, attraction.
“I have to
go. I’d rather stay and snuggle up to you. Find out more about you, because
you’re special to me too, but the locksmith will be here again. The cleaners
are down there.”
He nodded.
He knew the truth of her words.
