White Hot Christmas: Emmy's Wish
by Ayla Ruse

Erotic, Hot Flash, Christmas, Elves

Published by Changeling Press

In Emmy’s Wish, the dear little Workshop Elf, is asking – no, begging - for a huge, um, male for Christmas. All the Workshop Elves are little, and Emmy wants a taste of something more.

Excerpt:
Emmy woke up Christmas morning hopeful, excited, and with eyes squeezed shut. She took a deep breath and peeked to her right.
 Damn. No hulking male. Shrugging her shoulders, she bounced out of her bedroom. Her destination: the kitchen, and breakfast. Even though it was still early and not much sunlight filtered in, she didn’t turn on her lights. She’d decorated the high, open beams throughout her cottage with bright, twinkling, multi-colored rope lights, lending a festive glow throughout her home. Dancing a little to make her bell sing as she made her way into the living room, she didn’t pay attention around her, and her leg banged against something solid. Off balance, she fell over the obstacle and landed hard on the floor.
 “Mmm, Merry Christmas to me,” a low, male voice resonated through the room.
 Emmy froze with her forearms on the floor, and her waist caught over what she quickly realized was a male leg.
 “Does that sweet ass come with a face?” the voice inquired seductively.
 Her initial embarrassment fled and excitement poured through her. She pushed up to her hands, turned her head and became speechless at the sight of the male draped across her couch. As she looked up his length, his clothing stood out first. His pants and shirt shimmered a blue and white blend that reminded her of the frozen lakes out back. She smiled at the bulge growing under his pants, but moved her eyes up to his face. Lean yet formidable, his dark skin stood out starkly against so much white. It was difficult to pinpoint under the colored glow in the room, but she’d put his coloring at a light smoky gray. Like the first shadows to fall at dusk. His white hair was long, thick, and shaggy -- not in a derelict way, but more of a blending in with nature kind of way.
She stopped breathing when their gazes locked. His eyes were white, with icy blue irises and a brighter starburst of white for pupils. He tilted his head and her gaze averted to his pointed ears. Elf’s ears. It couldn’t be.
 “You’re an elf?” she asked incredulously.
 He nodded. “I’m a Border Elf.”
 “The ones that protect and patrol the North Pole? I’d heard you guys were ugly.”
 The Border Elf laughed out loud.
 “You are definitely not ugly,” she said hurriedly, teetering on his leg as she worked herself upright. Once on her feet, she didn’t stay there for long. She crawled right up and over the male and straddled his hips as if she’d done so a million times before.
 “Whoa.” He grinned. His blinding smile dazzled her. “What’s this about?”
 “Santa sent you, right?”
 “He did. He told me he had an elf who wanted to play with a Border for a day.”
 She clapped her hands and, raising her head, whispered, “Thank you, Santa.” Looking back into the arresting face of the male underneath her, she said, “You’re my gift. I get to play with you all day!”

Second, I have a new release out. *happy dance* It's only two days old!!  Santa's Helpers: Zarakion's Tip, is a short, erotic love story between one of Santa's Elves and a Demon. I've included a sexy excerpt for your reading and hopping pleasure.



by Ayla Ruse

Genres/Themes: Christmas, Elves, Demons, Hot Flash, Erotic

Price: $2.99, but you'll get 10% off when you buy this week and use code INSIDER112612 at checkout.

Delivery tips come in all shapes and sizes

Blurb:
SPDS – Santa’s Package Delivery System – is in full swing this Christmas. This special co-op of the North Pole delivers packages to the Otherworlders, including demons. 

Taryn is a new delivery elf this year, and she draws the short straw – having to deliver packages to Hell. 

Zarakion, a Cha’horz Demon – the guardians of the dividing line between Earth and Hell – has to work the unstable drop point. He has to play at receiving; not his favorite job.  

When Taryn steps through the Gate, she’s intimidated at first by the huge demon, but Zarakion gives her a delivery tip that’ll have her scrambling to return to the drop point again and again.

Excerpt:


Taryn pursed her lips. Maybe, if she got another chance to hold his horns, he’d lick her again. Imagining that strange tongue running across her skin made her breath hitch. Okay, so she was turned on by a ten-foot demon. Things could be worse.

She rubbed her thighs, her blood heating with desire, and tried to stare into the darkness. He had to be here. Somewhere. He’d licked her, for Santa’s sake. Surely he’d want some more. Wouldn’t he?

Lost in her growing, heated thoughts, she didn’t recognize at first that the silence of the room had been broken by slick, wet sounds.

“What’s that noise?” she called out.

The sound continued. “Nothing,” the demon growled.

“Are you jerking off?” She recognized that slippery sound, and her lips twitched. Her ex had loved to masturbate more than having sex with her, so sounds of jerking off had battered her ears until she’d wised up and kicked him out.

The demon spoke, but completely ignored her question. “Sit tight and be quiet. I can’t let you out for at least another forty-five minutes.”

“Why?”

He didn’t answer. She strained her ears, and her heightened Elf hearing picked up the telling sound again. Yep, he was jerking off. So the big, bad demon found her sexy, hmm?

Knowing he stroked his cock turned her on big-time, but apparently he was shy. Good thing she wasn’t.

She arched her back and closed her eyes, wishing the entire room were lit. She’d rather approach him than tease him, but she’d do whatever it would take to entice him back to her.

“Oh, it’s hot in here,” she called out, laughing to herself at the campy tone in her voice. “I’m used to the North Pole. Snow everywhere, all the time.” As Taryn spoke, she stretched and casually removed her red spandex shirt. Her breasts were perky enough she’d never had to restrain them with a bra, and her excited nipples tightened and stood out as the material rasped over them. “You don’t mind if I get comfortable?” she asked, tossing her shirt over the windshield. “You did say I’d be here for a while.”

Bare from the waist up, Taryn lay back, letting her head settle against the back of the rear seat. Her little skirt had inched up, and she knew her thighs showed. Tuning an ear toward the demon, she smiled to hear his strokes picking up speed. Hopefully he’d join her soon.

The demon’s groan reverberated through the room, but he didn’t approach her. Damn, what would it take to get that thick-skulled creature over here? Frustrated, she called out, “Stop playing by yourself. Can’t you see I want you?”

A large shadow blocked out her light before the last word left her mouth. He stood over her, his legs spread at the end of the bike, his body hunched over hers while his large hands gripped the metal frame at the front of her motorcycle.

“Don’t break my bike,” she said fiercely, feeling his weight bearing down on the metal. His hot breath bathed her skin, and a second, silent thought slammed into her. She couldn’t turn back at this point. She murmured, “Oh, heck, what have I done?”

Her eyes quickly adjusted to the lower light, and she gasped, making out the strange part of him hovering above her. She should have known. This demon sported a monster-size erection.
