Alpha Male Blog Hop - Meet Lyulf!

Welcome to my very first blog hop! Boy do I have fun things in store for you!

What is your favorite thing about Alpha Heroes? Well, we authors are ready to share our favorite Alpha  Males, our favorite things about them, and everything sexy and heated about those Alpha Males you can think of. *wink* Starting on Oct 19th and ending on Oct 22nd over 200 Authors and Bloggers will share their favorite things about those sexy men we know and love.

And while we do that, we are EACH doing a giveaway. Yep. There will be over 200 giveaways on each blog hosted by that Author or Blogger.

But that's not all...

We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!

Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet (INT)
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B&N Gift Card (INT)
 3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack! (US ONLY)


Remember, you must leave a blog comment with your email address to enter the grand prize drawing!!

I have always loved alpha males and now that I'm pursuing my dream of becoming an author, I've already decided pretty much all of my heroes are going to be alpha :) There's just nothing quite like a strong, protective, sexy man willing to do anything to protect his woman! And an alpha male in the bedroom? Nothing is sexier to me than the struggle for dominance between the sheets...

This Halloween, my very first novella, Song of the Abyss, will be released in the anthology Once Upon A Twisted Time, brought to you by Moon Rose Publishing. I teamed up with the fantastic Miranda Stork, Tara S. Wood, and Trish Marie Dawson to bring you a collection of twisted fairy tales unlike anything you've ever read. The heroes of our stories are sexy as hell, but don't take my word for it :) Each day of this blog hop, I will post a snippet featuring a different hero showing his alpha side. Fair warning, some of these snippets are hot enough to racing for a cold shower!

In case the promise of hot men isn't enough to keep you coming back for more, I will be giving away a $15 gift card to Amazon.com (INT) at the end of the hop! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment with your email address telling me what you thought of today's hero and use the Rafflecopter widget to enter my contest. Enter every day for more chances to win!!

Now let's see what our sexy prince Lyulf has in store...

Ignoring the voice of reason trying to assert itself, she yanked him down when he would have pulled away. Without hesitation, she took his mouth with hers, hungry for his taste, pleased beyond measure that he came willingly. Their tongues vied for control, his dipping into her mouth and running lightly against her teeth before thrusting deep within. She moaned, heat pooling low, gathering in her core. More, she had to have more.
As if he’d read her mind, hands fisted in her hair, tilting her for a better angle and locking her in place so she couldn’t pull away. Right then, the devil himself couldn’t have pulled her away. She grasped his arms, tugging as she shifted to lie down, trying to bring him with her. Another moan escaped, this time in disappointment as he released her mouth and leaned back just enough to gaze down into her eyes, his own blazing with a desire that matched hers. He leaned over her, hands on either side of her head to keep his weight from dropping onto her.
“You had better be sure, siren. If we keep going, I won’t stop until we are both too exhausted to move. Tell me now if you want to back down.”
Her heart melted a bit that he would make sure he understood exactly what she wanted. This man would never hurt her and she wondered how she’d ever let herself believe it had been him that day. In answer she shifted to wrap her legs around his hips, arching her back until her core rested against his cock. Never had anything felt so wonderful, so right. A strong pulse centered over her clit and she began to grind herself against his hard length, seeking relief.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” Another hard kiss then he stood up, sweeping her into his arms. Spying a pallet of blankets further into the cave he lowered her to them, spreading his body along her and fitting their hips together once more. Gentle fingers spread her dark hair out, framing her face. She reached up and took one of his hands, brought it to her lips, then guided it down her throat to her breasts where her nipples ached for his touch.
He grinned and kneaded the soft flesh, rubbing his palm in a circle over and over. Sensation crashed over her and she heard a whimper. Had that soft sound filled with such need really come from her? Slowly he lifted the cloth covering her chest, her ample breasts spilling out. Callused fingers rasped over her nipples, rolling, tugging, the pulse between her thighs intensifying with every heartbeat. His mouth trailed down, nipped lightly at the curve of her neck and she shivered with delight. It traveled down further, settling above her other breast, and the hot, moist air drove her mad.
Impatient, she lifted her hands to his head and pulled his mouth to the puckered bud, desperate for him. He chuckled, and his teeth closed over the turgid point, the slight pain sending another surge of liquid heat to her core. When he began to suckle, his hand working in tandem on her other breast, his fingers tugging and rolling in sync with the pulls of his mouth and tongue, she began to shake. A roaring began in her ears that only grew louder as he began to thrust his hips against hers, his cock pressed against her clit. Her breaths came in quick pants and she writhed, frantic to find release from the pressure building inside.
He lifted his head, eyes dark with passion he was barely restraining. “Let it happen, siren. Come for me.”

Need a cold drink anyone? :) Remember to stop back each day to meet the other heroes from Once Upon A Twisted Time!

  57. I think he's HOT!!! Great post!

    Alpha males are the best….strong, independent, fiercely protective, but on the inside they are nothing but a big ol’ teddy bear! I love the way their mouths talk filthy, but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet. They can be rough and tough in the bedroom, but still have the gentle caress of an attentive and protective lover. It's all in the heart.....alpha males are the best!

    Jack Gordon from Liz Crowe's REALTOR series rocks!

    Thanks for participating in the hop!
