Sometimes
you just gotta "go there"...to the place of fantasy and escapism where
magic is all around and all things are possible. Author Dakota Skye does
that with her new release, Daydreams, a collection of paranormal erotic
fantasies. Three stories in one book, this collection is both evocative
and sexy. Yes, they're erotic, but they are also rich with romance and
magic. Here's a glimpse inside Story 1, the Mariner, about ghost
haunting the shores of Ireland and the woman who reminds him of what
it's like to love...
Excerpt...
"Have you always been able to
hear ghosts?" he asked.
His question stopped her in her
tracks.
"How do you know that?"
"You told Mary...I overheard
you."
"Did I? I don't remember
saying anything. You were there? How did you overhear me?"
"You ask a lot of questions
rather than answering one."
She tilted her head to the side and
laughed at his observation. "I've heard ghosts as long as I can remember.
I learned long ago, though, that it was best not to admit such things or risk
being called crazy." Her voice trailed off at the realization of how many
ghosts had called to her in the past year that she'd forced away—had they been
trying to warn her about Trevor? Had she been so disconnected from herself that
she had turned a blind eye?
The laughter faded with memories of
her ex. How could he have been such a vile monster and she hadn't had a clue?
Again, she wondered if that stain would forever taint her life. Guilt for
ignoring her intuition, for disregarding her friends' concerns, for standing up
for him while he'd lied to her with every breath he took.
She stopped walking, released Fin's
hand, and pressed her palms over her eyes.
What
am I doing here? Why am I not back there fighting to get my life back, standing
up for my reputation, holding my head high?
Because
fighting had become so damn exhausting.
Fin pulled her hands away from her
face and waited until she met his gaze before speaking, "You're too
beautiful to be sad."
"You said that this
morning," she whispered.
"You need to hear it again and
again..."
"You don't know me."
"Does that matter?"
He bent his head, hesitated a
fraction from her lips, and looked her in the eye. Energy zapped between the
space separating them like its own tiny electrical storm. The red scarf flapped
around his neck and over her shoulder in the ever-increasing wind blowing
inland from the Atlantic.
"I shouldn't kiss you. It
crosses a line," he muttered.
"Fun begins on the other side
of the line."
He smiled. "Sounds like
something I would have said once."
"I'm saying it now." She
snagged the scarf in her fists, and smashed her lips against his. To hell with
it all, the desire she felt for him trashed all common sense and hesitation.
Energy from the contact jolted through her body like one helluva prelude to an
orgasm.
He crushed her against him and
lifted her until only her toes dragged along the path toward the cottage. The
howling wind, the smell of salt in the air, the flapping of the scarf against
their faces—all disappeared in the heat consuming her body.
Fin pushed open the door to the
cottage without taking his mouth from hers. In a frenzy of hands colliding with
each other as fingers removed layers of clothing, they stumbled against a chair
and landed in a tangle of limbs on the floor. He broke the kiss only long
enough to pull his sweater over his head and looked her in the eye.
Afraid that words would destroy the
spell, she bit her lip and squirmed free of her clothes without comment until
only the flimsy lace of her panties and bra stopped them from being
skin-on-skin.
He traced a long, calloused finger
along her chin before smiling slowly, the scar on his lip and the fall of his
black hair over his dark eyes making him look doubly dangerous in the glow of
the firelight.
She slid her hands over his chest
and felt the raised skin of scars crisscrossing his skin. Fascinated by the
shivers of electricity that shimmied through her blood at the slightest caress,
she ached for more...and more...and more.
He nibbled her neck before his
hands squeezed her breast through the lace. His hard cock pressed against her
thigh as his thumb teased the raised nipple that threatened to poke through the
thin material. With a growl low in his throat, he reached down and ripped the
bra in two before capturing her breast with his mouth. He sucked, licked, and
squeezed until she whimpered for mercy.
She sank her fingernails into his
shoulders and slid her feet over the backs of his legs, aching for him to be
inside of her. The more desperate she felt for satisfaction, the more he slowed
his movements—as if torturing her were part of his plan.
He left one breast and moved to the
other with a slow deliberation that had her writhing on the floor.
Frustrated, she slapped the floor
with a closed fist and lifted her head to watch as he moved his lips along her
abdomen. Still afraid to speak for reasons she didn't understand, she bit her
lip so hard that she tasted blood on her tongue.
He glanced up long enough to grin
at her before ripping her panties off her body and tossing them toward the
fireplace. With a gleam in his chocolate-colored eyes, he pushed her legs wide
apart. He slipped his fingers inside her, the same electric current that had
been rippling over her skin now surged inside of her.
She gasped and dropped her head
back against the wood floor. The fire snapped less than a foot away from her
head, its embers floating up the chimney, the only light in the room flickered
with the movement of flames. She closed her eyes as one jolt of energy after
another coursed through her body with the force of a tsunami until she screamed
with an orgasm like she'd never before experienced.
Fin's lips returned to ravage her
neck before his mouth claimed hers with a hunger that silenced her cries. He
thrust his cock inside her while her cunt still quivered in climax. With one
hand propped above her head and pulling her hair and the other squeezing her
breast with incomprehensible strength and his girth stretching her with every
plunging thrust, he owned her body.
She clung to his shoulders,
wrapping arms and legs around him while their tongues played with one another
and his hips slammed her into the floor.
He lifted his head and arched his
back upward, their bodies fused as one, and shouted at the ceiling.
She held onto his hips and watched
his body shudder over hers. The glow of the fire shadowed his body to
perfection, the scars appearing almost alive with the movement of the flames.
He collapsed against her, his lips
moving silently against the side of her face while his fingers curled into her
hair.
"Stay with me," she
whispered.
"That's my plan," he
responded with a slight chuckle as he rose up on his elbows to look her in the
eye.
She dragged a finger along the
jagged scar on his shoulder and smiled. "You have stories to tell."
"You wouldn't believe them if
I told you," he said against her lips before kissing her breath away once
again.
