Hello everyone! As I write my eighth
1Night Stand story, I am very thankful to the line, the co-creators, my editors
on the series, Kate and Val, and to Decadent Publishing for helping me to
launch my career with my first 1Night Stand story, CELESTIAL SEDUCTION.
As American (I’m Canadian)
Thanksgiving approaches, I begin to wonder what my characters would be thankful
for. Those from Earth are easy to figure out, but the extraterrestrial heroes
and heroines are a little tricky. Or maybe not....
Here’s what my aliens are
thankful for:
Frey from Celestial Seduction ~ For being assigned to the mission to Earth,
for Madame Eve, and Carrie, and baby Tabitha.
Galan from Satin Sheets in Space ~ For evesdropped conversations, for Madame
Eve, and for Danyka especially.
Volan from Satin Sheets in Space ~ For Danyka, of course, and for a fabulous
brother willing to share.
Natazekial from Another Night, Another Planet ~ For
friends, and for the chance to be reunited with the love of my life.
Skylar from His Alien Virgin ~
For family and friends, for Madame Eve and Leah Castillo, and for my best
friend of all, my husband, Daran.
Giveaway!!

A 1Night Stand
story
By Jessica E. Subject
Erotic Sci-Fi
Romance
ISBN: 978-1613330944
At the end of his obligated commitment to the Space Service, Frey Berger
decides to stay on Earth to further experience human emotions rather than
return to Ginnun where his intended has already mated with another. Looking for
real love and someone to accept him for what he is, Frey enlists in Madame
Evangeline’s popular dating service. Although he does not understand the
concept of a one-night stand, he hopes to find his perfect mate.
Carrie Cooper’s husband divorced her for someone who could provide him
with children, leaving her with little self-confidence and no desire to let a
man hurt her again. Her best friend convinces her to join a dating service,
claiming Carrie needs to get laid, while not winding up with a broken heart
since her date requires no commitment after the night is over.
Although several misunderstandings nearly derail them before the date
has even begun, Carrie and Frey end up becoming closer than they ever believed
possible. Still, Frey will need to convince Carrie that her perfect mate isn’t
human at all, and that one night can lead to a forever love.

Excerpt:
No, aliens don’t exist. Or did
they? How else could she explain the blue light from his hands and the
resulting sensations she’d felt inside? And how could he do things the doctors
could not?
If his words were true, she should run away, get as far away from him as
possible before he began experimenting on her. Or had he already? But none of
his actions brought her any harm. He’d only held her down and kissed her to
keep her calm. And maybe even given her the chance to become a mother.
But oh, that kiss.
And now, he sat on the other side of the room, giving her space and time
to think things through.
But he doesn’t look like an alien! Why would he make that up though? What would he gain?
“Frey?”
He looked over, his eyes empty, hollow. She’d never seen anyone look as
sad without shedding a tear, quite the transformation from the confident human
she’d seen enter the room hours earlier.
Guilt overwhelmed her for wanting an answer to the question in her head,
but she asked anyway. “Is that what you really look like? I mean, you’re like
the perfect male specimen.”
She hoped he’d respond with a smile, but he just shook his head, eyes
cast down. “It’s just an illusion created to help us fit in on Earth.”
She hid her panic, but her mind raced with thoughts of an alien
invasion. “Us? There’s more like you?”
“There were more of us, but everyone else returned to Ginnun. I’m the
only one left on Earth.”
Phew! “Ginnun, what’s that?”
“My home planet.”
“Oh, but why? Why did you come here and why did you decide to stay?”
He glanced toward her. His eyes no longer held any color, their
blackness appearing wet. “We came here to learn. The disguise is to prevent
spreading fear and violence with our arrival. We mean no harm, but as my kind
has travelled through space over the centuries, we have never been met with
peace.”
She could understand why. Most people on Earth believed aliens would
only come to the planet to take over. Unsure what she believed, she trusted
Frey had no intention of hurting her, he’d had plenty of opportunity already.
“Again, why did you stay?”
His eyes blinked—sideways. She tried to hide her gasp, but failed and he
looked away. “Like I told you, my intended one mated with my former friend. I
had no one to return to.”
She slid to the end of the bed, wanting to get closer to him. “Don’t you
have family, friends? Are humans really that interesting?” She walked toward
him, curious to know and see more.
“No one that matters.” He paused as if he noticed her getting closer.
“On Ginnun, we are taught from a young age that displays of emotion are banned,
not that those teachings are always successful. Parents aren’t supposed to love
their children and husbands can’t show any affection for their wives. When
Tandee gave herself to another, it tore me apart, but I wasn’t allowed to feel
that way. After only a month here, I knew I didn’t want to return to Ginnun. I
wanted to feel.”
She stood in front of him then and held out her hands. His black eyes
met hers as he wrapped her hands in his. “You’re okay with what I told you?”
“No, but I’m trying to stay open-minded.” She tried to keep her hands
from shaking even as she showed him she could handle the information. “I don’t
feel like you want to hurt me though.”
He lightly squeezed her hands, a smile forming on his lips. “I would
never bring you harm.”
Lifting one hand up, she gently
placed it on the side of his face. “Will you show me what you really look like?
I can see your real eyes, but I want to see the rest.”
