The Melt Your Resistance, Seven Layers of Heaven Trifle
Recipe by Tara Fox Hall
Promise Me Series Book #6 Her Secret
Cake:
1 capable blond country woman afraid to express her hidden desires
1 jealous blue-eyed werecougar, determined to hold onto the woman he loves
2 seductive vampire brothers—one dark, one fair—unwilling to relent in their pursuit
Add...a half vampire-half human child, the first of his kind in existence
1 faerie-demon mixed blood with cherrywood eyes and a flair for sorcery
3 villainous, powerful vampires planning a takeover of rare malevolence
Fold in carefully the magic of shared dreams, the fear of unrealized passion, and the hopes of love against all odds. Beat until just lightly mixed, then set aside.
Frosting (the BEST part!): Add together sultry, wanton conversation, the electrical charge of hot flesh meeting cool skin, and the satisfying lusciousness of orgasm (this ingredient may be doubled or even tripled, according to taste). Add a dash of romance and tension for seasoning, and beat on high until the sound of soft sighs and moans fill the air. Beat an additional thirty seconds or as needed, until the groans become screams. Then taper off carefully for a few seconds before removing the mixer from the bowl.
Layer cake and frosting alternately in seven layers, or to your liking. Just make sure to have enough frosting left for an extra big dollop on top!
Do not refrigerate. This is a dish best served fresh and warm, when the layers will be most inviting.
Set the table in our world, with enough real-life references to make yourself at home. Light some candles, put on some romantic music—like The Righteous Brothers—and have a book of poetry handy, for those impromptu passionate moments between bites.
Taste Test
Devlin stepped off the bike, and came toward me. I was lost from the moment I looked into his golden eyes.
The garage remote dropped from my nerveless hand as I moved toward him, shaking slightly. I stretched out my arms to him, winding them around his neck, pulling him down to kiss me. He kissed me lightly, nibbling the edge of my lips with his fangs.
“Miss me?” he said seductively.
I pushed my body tight against his, desire pouring through me. He groaned and clasped me to him, his soft kiss becoming intent and reckless. Suddenly he lifted me, his leather creaking as he carried me into the basement bedroom. He laid me on the bed, kissing my mouth passionately, delving into me with his tongue, then began to kiss his way down my body. I felt the brush of his fangs on my bare skin and shivered, letting out a wild cry.
He drew back suddenly to look at me, his eyes molten. He paused for a second as if he was going to speak, then seemed to reconsider his words. Instead, he kissed me again on my throat and shoulders, pulling down my loose sweater so he could run his fangs over my bare skin.
I tried to unzip his jacket so I could touch him, but my hands couldn’t seem to clasp the zipper. Devlin gently pushed my hands back, and unzipped it, throwing it to one side. He had on a black T-shirt underneath and I ran my hands underneath it, into his chest hair. His skin was cool under my hands, and my desire increased tenfold. He shut his eyes at the feel of my hands on his skin, his lips parting slightly in pleasure.
The sight of his fang tips made me sigh in eagerness, my rapid breathing speeding up still more. “Please.” I tried to pull him onto me.
Devlin looked down at me through lowered eyelids. “Danial was right,” he said seductively. Oddly, there was a sad undercurrent beneath the desire.
“Don’t be sad,” I murmured eagerly. “I want you. God, I want you so much!”
Devlin pressed his body to me. I felt his shaft hard against my groin, so wonderfully long and ready for me, and instantly forgot everything else. I arched my back, trying to push my body that much closer to him, baring my throat to him.
“Don’t worry, Sar,” he murmured to me between kisses. “I’ll give you what you’ve been wanting.” He bit me gently, not breaking the skin. At once, my lust roared up inside of me as I gasped, writhing beneath him. I hadn’t felt The Lust in months, not like this. The pills had kept it at bay, but I’d gone off them…
“Please,” I gasped. “Please, Dev, I need you!”
“I know what you need, Sar,” he murmured. He held me to the bed with one hand and began to kiss me, running his fangs over my neck. He breathing quickened as he pulled up my shirt, and unclasped my bra, moving it aside as his mouth came down over my breasts, his fangs pressing down slightly as he kissed and sucked at my skin.
It was sweet torture. No matter how I begged and writhed, he seemed to foresee my movements, speedily avoiding my efforts to impale myself on his fangs. Finally, I was near tears with frustration, crying out repeatedly in desperate need.
“No,” he said teasingly, drawing his lips from my reddened breast. “I’m not done with the foreplay, Love. You’ll have to wait.”
In a desperate effort to halt her transformation to vampire, and stop her longing for the sultry Devlin, Sarelle willingly takes a drug to kill her desire, even as Danial prepares for the introduction of their son Theoron at a Vampire Gathering on New Year’s Eve. Faced with Theo’s betrayal at the eleventh hour, Sarelle must either trust in Danial to save her, or join forces with Devlin, revealing her secret desire for him.
