Cat People

Available HERE

I’m a cat person, always have been. I’ve had both cats and dogs most of my life, but I’ve always had an affinity for the feline species. I love their independence. Owning a cat is slightly more a chore than owning a house plant. And when they want to cuddle then you feel super special for the attention.

Sure, my four dogs all but maul me with their loving excitement when I go outside for a few minutes then come back in. I might as well have taken a trip around the world. I love them for their undying loyalty and enthusiasm, but they also look completely put out when I’m not nearly as excited to see them. (Guys, seriously, I took the garbage out, CALM DOWN.)  Meanwhile, the cats eye me curiously, wondering if I’ve brought anything back of interest. If not, then it’s yawns and back to naps.

This is the type of person I am. Low maintenance and I value my independence.

Blurb:

When Abigail Winter’s stepsister sets her up with 1Night Stand, she can’t deny she needs a night away from the constant worry. Her cat rescue A Purrfect Home is in danger of closing, and she’s nearly out of options. Her date, Carlita, is gorgeous with soft curves that leave Abigail hungry for a taste. A perfect and passionate distraction for the evening.

Carlita Menedez is thrilled when she first lays eyes on her date, Abigail. Beautiful, and an animal lover, who more perfect for a former veterinarian? Her lithe form proves irresistible, and her kisses incredible. Their chemistry sizzles and when they come together, they find pure bliss in one another’s arms.

But disaster steals their night, and A Purrfect Home may already be lost. Will Carlita be the one person who can help Abigail save everything she’s worked so hard for?

 Excerpt:

Thunder boomed louder, jarring the windows, echoing her pounding heart. Carlita met her gaze and Abigail couldn’t resist reaching out and taking one of her ebony curls, letting the silken texture slip through her fingertips. The simple act did obscene things, a tight ache settled between her thighs. Abigail cupped the other woman’s cheek. “What do you think? Can two strangers like us have a passionate one night affair?”

Carlita’s tongue darted out, moistening her lips, her brown eyes smoldering. A tantalizing tease.

“I think it’s why we’re here, right?”

What an unsatisfying answer. She had to know for sure the other woman felt the same as she did. She stroked her thumb over Carlita’s bottom lip. “Do you want me?”

Carlita looked away and Abigail’s confidence faltered. What if the chemistry was one sided? God, it’d been years since she’d dated, and she’d never been good at reading body signals. To top it off, she was feeling pretty desperate; never a good thing while figuring someone else out. She took a deep breath, ready to back off. Carlita covered her hand with her own before she could pull away and moved the platter with the cheesecake to the nightstand.

“I want you to kiss me, Ab—”

Abigail moved before she could finish the sentence. Carlita’s lips were soft, yielding to the urgency of her kiss. She pulled her forward until Carlita straddled her thighs, the kiss deepening, their tongues meeting in foreplay. She tasted of chocolate, champagne, and desire, a delicious combination, and Abigail couldn’t get enough. Abigail stroked the smooth skin of her exposed back, feeling her muscles moving while Carlita worked the buttons on her blouse. When the other woman palmed Abigail’s breasts through her cotton bra, the heat within her bloodstream turned to liquid fire. She yanked the halter ties to Carlita’s dress, fumbling with the knot.

“Damn it.” The ties wouldn’t give. More than anything she wanted those incredible breasts free to bury her face between them. Live out one of the fantasies she’d been denied all night.

“Oh god, I’m sorry,” Carlita said as grabbed the ties, trying to help. “I didn’t want to fall out. I tightened it into a double knot.”

Abigail gave up and let her work the knot, taking advantage of having free hands.

Love in All Dimensions

Available HERE

By Angelita Gill

One of my favorite things to do is to volunteer for the ballet company whenever I can! An avid supporter of the performing arts, I love just being around the general splendor of ballet. It makes me happy and in a world that’s saturated by tech, celebrity, and go! go! go! I think ballet brings a sense of old world enchantment.

I simply had to write a 1Night Stand story involving a ballerina and thought to blend it with a little fantasy for that extra escape, thrown in with some mystery and plenty of romance.

Join Moira and Tanith for a dance, a little magic, a lot of heart pounding passion, and a race against time in Endless Affair:

Tanith is caught in a projectile portal, jumping from one dimension to another. The one thing that triggers his transports is the woman he can't live without: Moira. After years of searching for her in this world, he seeks help from the incomparable Madame Eve. The reward is the greatest pleasure he's ever known. The price is making them go through hell all over again.
   Dance is prima ballerina Moira’s life and breath, but her soul yearns for more. Although she plans to ignore a mysterious invitation to a masquerade, her heart denies refusal. The draw to the enigmatic man across the room is intense and, without question, inevitable. With one dance, she's caught. With one kiss, she knows the truth…they've done this before.

Buy Endless Affair

   Historical romance is her favorite genre to read. If she could travel back in time, she'd attend a ball in Regency England in a fabulously wicked gown, and dance with the most handsome rogue in the room.

One Night with the Bridesmaid

by Sara Daniel

Today is release day for One Night with the Bridesmaid, my 1Night Stand novella that follows the maid of honor from One Night with the Bride. This is a short, super-sexy read. I hope you have as much fun reading Sabrina and Rob's story as I had writing it.

Gifted with a 1Night Stand, Sabrina Lopez decides to use the chance to hook up with a man who knows how to give a woman pleasure—a man she’d never have the nerve to approach in real life. Madame Eve exceeds her expectations with the opportunity of a lifetime—and the man of her dreams, movie director Rob Wellington. He might be out of her league, but she’s willing to risk it all for one night.

Believing Sabrina responsible for breaking up his brother’s wedding, Rob sets out to stop her from scamming her way into the groom’s bed—even if he has to take his brother’s place. The last thing he expected to discover was a woman he could love and hold for the rest of his life—if he can convince her that he wants more than one night….

If you missed One Night with the Bride, here are all the details:

When her society matron mother presents Caroline with a one-night stand date a week before her wedding, she’s appalled. Even worse, the encounter will take place at the fantasy ranch resort operated by her high school lover, Javier Alvarado. Although determined to remain faithful to her fiancé, she’s tempted and intrigued to see her first love again. It’s not like she has to sleep with him.

But one look and kiss later, she yearns for the man she walked away from so long ago. Unfortunately, when Javier discovers Caroline is engaged, all he can see is deception and heartbreak all over again.

Can a 1Night Stand from Madame Eve reunite them or will one night with the bride sever their ties forever?

Burnin’ Up the Sheets with a Demon

A Demon's Lure available HERE

By Angelita Gill

It's the time of year when anything seems possible, even magic. At least it does to me. Are we all not looking for a little miracle in our lives once in a while? And when better to hope for it than during the upcoming holidays. Fall and winter are the most romantic seasons of the year to me...ugly Christmas sweater party and all.

The merriment of the holidays aside, there is a shade of mystery in wintertime, is there not? The days are shorter, the nights are longer, the air is colder and a new year is just ahead. Who knows what next year will bring...what changes might occur in your life...who you might meet. A tall, dark mysterious stranger in a quiet library on a snowy afternoon. A charming, wicked funny blonde Adonis at the ice skating rink. Hey, it could happen!

Or maybe not even a human at all. Could be a vampire, a werewolf, and I daresay a demon! *wink*

I invite you take a short break and step into a world where demons not only exist, but aren’t evil. Like my Davien. He’s good at heart. Good in bed. Only bad when he needs to be. He’s got little magic at his fingertips to impress even the most jaded female, including the story's heroine, Kara, who is literally his mortal enemy...and a one night stand. They shouldn’t even touch one another, it’s incredibly forbidden. As Davien would say, that’s a good sign. *wink*

Curious about their story? Get it here at Decadent and warm up your November.

A Demon’s Lure

Davien is bidding the human realm adieu, having no reason to stay. Before he leaves, he craves a night of intense, exotic sex and dares Madame Eve to find an immortal willing to touch a demon. There is such a female, but she's an Under Huntress. A demon killer.

For Kara, sleeping with the enemy is beyond forbidden. It's something much stronger—tempting. Drawn to the rumors of their sexual prowess, Kara asks if there is a demon open to the possibility of spending a night with his enemy. The answer is yes and only she and the demon would ever know....

When bodies are bared and labels are forgotten, neither can deny their fates are sealed the moment they met.

And remember, even getting through a shopping day without strangling perfect strangers can be considered a miracle. J

A Picture and a Challenge

Everything He Wants available HERE

by Megan Slayer

Sometimes stories are character based. I get an idea in my head of what this character will look like and act like...so I run with him. Other times, I’m given an image of what he’s going to look like. For Everything He Wants, the picture ruled. My dear friend, Stephanie Burke—aka Flash, posted a picture for Hump Day on Facebook. She tagged me and said, this totally called to me and I needed to write this guy’s story. Well, there were two guys. One had angel wings on and both were wearing what appeared to be police officer hats and aviator glasses. Immediately, two characters came to mind.

Originally Trace and Jeremy were much more flamboyant. They were there in the G-string and angel wings. But the more I dove into what made them tick, the more I realized they might have wanted to be flamboyant, but weren’t as out there as the guys in the picture.

Not a problem.

I sat down and let them talk. Jeremy is an artist and Trace works air traffic control.  Trace showed me early on that he’s a happy-go-lucky guy who loves order and knowing what’s going on. His life hasn’t been easy, but compared to some it’s a piece of cake. Then there’s Jeremy. This poor guy is hurting. His past is a mess and even though he’s tried to get beyond what’s hurting him...he can’t. But he sees a ray of light in Trace.

But how do you hook up with someone you hardly know, especially when you’ve lost their phone number? Madame Eve of course. I won’t give away too much of the plot, but Eve does her best and there are certainly sparks.

I believe love at first sight can happen and I believe second chances are very much worth the effort. What about you? What do you believe? How have you worked to get everything you wanted?

Here’s a little bit more about the book:

Everything He Wants

A 1Night Stand Story from Decadent Publishing

M/M, Anal Sex

A Short Story Available now!

Trace has almost everything he wants—a great job and a well-ordered life, but he’s ready for more—the right guy to share it with. A chance meeting after a hockey game with the man of his dreams spurs him on to turn to the one source he knows will help him out—Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand service.

Jeremy can’t forget the difficult childhood and subsequent bad decisions he made while trying to forget it. He wants the gorgeous air traffic controller, but he’s afraid his past will get in the way like it always does. If all Madame Eve can give them is one night…he’ll take it.

With Eve’s help, can the men forge the relationship they both want, or will they crash and burn?

And a hot excerpt...because I can!

   Jeremy sat in the back seat of the cab and swayed forward as it came to a quick stop opposite Club Ramrod. What a crazy name for a club. Then again, what a crazy place to meet his date. He checked the messages on his phone one more time. Sure enough, the same email from Madame Eve popped up.

   Your date awaits you at Club Ramrod, located next to the Mason Players Club Hotel. Look for yellow by the bar and you will find your heart’s delight. Tell the bouncer Eve sent you.

   He sighed and paid the driver with a shaky hand. His mind wouldn’t stop racing. What the hell did I get myself into? Sure, the club scene worked for him, but he hated the grind. Hated the clawing bodies and hangers-on. Crossing the street, he took his place in line. Maybe no one would recognize him. Finally reaching the club entrance, he dropped Madame Eve’s name to the bouncer.

   The hulking man nodded and shuffled him to the bar. “Don’t cause a fight.”

   Don’t cause a fight? Did he look like the type to cause trouble? Well, I did change my hair from green to blue tips. Jeremy snorted. Whatever. He scanned the crowd in the massive black and white bar. Men talked and laughed, some cuddled each other or sat on each other’s laps. At the far end, he spotted a flash of yellow. His heart pounded faster and his mouth went bone-dry.

   “No way,” he murmured, nibbling on his lip piercing.

Trace Robeson, the man who featured in every one of his naughty fantasies, clutched a beer and hooked his thumb in his jeans front pocket. The man oozed classy sex. A faded T-shirt cradled his body like a second skin, giving teasing glimpses at the chiseled flesh underneath. His ripped jeans cupped and outlined his package and showed off his natural tan to a T.

    Jeremy wobbled on his feet and thanked the gods, or Madame Eve, or whoever, for granting him his wish, and strode across the club. Making eye contact with Trace, he grinned.

   “Hey, man. Good seeing you here.” Trace offered his hand.

   “Yeah. It’s nice to see a friendly face.” Jeremy gestured the bartender for a beer. “I’m here to meet my destiny.”

   “Are you....” Trace didn’t finish.

   “Your date?” Jeremy replied. “I’m looking for a man in yellow. Don’t see too many others rocking that color, so….” Christ, he sounded so lame.

   “I was told my date would find me.” Trace matched his smile. “Want to dance?”

When she's not writing the stories in her head, Megan Slayer can be found luxuriating in her hot tub with her two vampire Cabana boys, Luke and Jeremy. She has the tendency to run a tad too far with her muse, so she has to hide in the head of her alter ego, but the boys don't seem to mind.

When she’s not obsessing over her whip collection, she can be found picking up her kidlet from school. She enjoys writing in all genres, but writing about men in love suits her fancy best. The cabana boys are willing to serve, unless she needs them. She always need them. So be nice to Javier or he will bite--on command.

She also masquerades under the name Wendi Zwaduk as well.

Have a Romantic Halloween

Crow Magic available HERE

By Mary Quast

October has been one very full month. My tough football players wore pink socks in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. I promoted my hunky crow shifter in Crow Magic to celebrate paranormal romance. AND we had one heck of a birthday party for the 1 Night Stand series! Now the month ends with the dark holiday of Halloween.

How about a “1 Night Stand” with your honey? Halloween should be seen as more than a night of candy and costumes for kiddies, but as a season to add some spice to your love life. Use the opportunity to bring guilty pleasures to life. Hide behind a mask, dress in a sexy outfit and role play. Become a sex kitten and explore fantasy for one night.

If that sounds a bit too risqué, then perhaps a simply romantic evening is in order. Light some cinnamon candles, pour dark red wine and carve a pumpkin together. Have fun in the kitchen and rediscover what all your hands can do to/for each other.  Hand out candy while sitting on the porch… snuggle on the step or sit on your honey’s lap. Once the porch light is out and the children have sorted their treasures, retire to the bedroom. Let your honey unwrap your Halloween surprise!

Always take time to add some spice to your romance. This is the perfect opportunity to offer your honey a change from the norm and find a new way to celebrate Halloween!

Romance author and artist, Mary Quast will be celebrating Halloween watching scary movies with her two eldest sons then taking her youngest trick or treating. She looks forward to relaxing with her husband in front of a fire and drinking Witches Brew.

When she’s not busy writing contemporary erotic romance novels, novelettes, and short stories, Mary Quast doles out sensual tips and yummy eye candy on her blog “RomanticInterludes”.

Selkies and Synchronicity

by JoAnne Kenrick

It’s here! Finally.

Release day for my selkies. Seal the Deal, Isle of Man and Selkie book one.

It seems fitting to share the story of how this story came to be….

I’m a huge believer in fate and synchronicity. My gut instincts are ever present. If I pay attention and listen/watch for the signs, all works out for the best. If not well, you-know-what hits the fan.

I’ve a long history of wishing I’d have listened to my gut. It’s a tough learning curve as to when to act upon these senses versus when it’s fleeting thoughts or my own fears.

Writing Seal the Deal was born because of my gut instincts and a major case of synchronicity.

It all started when I found an old show featuring the actor who plays Doc Martin in the BBC series. He was touring all the different Isles in the British Isles and chatting with the locals. So rustic and isolated, the settings had awakened my plot bunnies and ideas were swelling. I needed to write a story set here. I began studying the map and thinking about which Isle would work best for a fictional piece. I was pondering the question about whether I wanted to write a paranormal romance or a contemporary with this setting when a You Tube video suggestion led me to a documentary on Isle of Man seals. I was sold. I was going to be writing a selkie book set on the Isle of Man. But I needed more to make this work. What sort of a story would it be?

Low and behold. Kate and Val, the senior editors and creators of Decadent Publishing’s 1NS series made comment they’d love to see some British Isles stories. I can’t tell you how much I was grinning when I saw this. I knew then it was meant to be.

A selkie 1NS story set on the Isle of Man.

But it needed something I could integrate into the selkie world building to give it a mystical edge.

A calendar forward search made me remember it is a leap year in 2014. Yes!  I could use this in my selkie legend.

My plot bunnies were busy for a few weeks while I tried to put the pieces together. Something still wasn’t quite right. I needed something extra, a reason why my hero was a selkie and why he might have that chance to be human again.

And that’s when I discovered the Port St. Mary lighthouse story and everything fell into place. So it’s no wonder both heroine and hero are huge believers in fate!

"Another magical read from JoAnne Kenrick. Passion, thrills, and romance, this book has it all. A must read!" ~ USA Today Bestselling Author, Marie Harte.

Find all buy links HERE

After being ditched at the altar, Finn Kneale isolates himself at Port St. Mary’s magnificent lighthouse. A violent storm ravishes the coastline, pitching the maritime tower into the Irish sea and transforming Finn into a seal. Carefree at first, he soon longs to walk as a man again. When leap year arrives, bathing land and sea in magic, Finn temporarily regains his human form. If he can’t find his soul mate in twenty-four hours, he’ll be back to cavorting among the waves.

Anne Ward—resident midwife and newcomer to Port St. Mary, Isle of Man—guards some wild secrets of her own while avoiding entanglements with married doctors. A believer in fate, she seeks out

Madame Eve’s exclusive agency to help find her destined mate. 1Night Stand matches these two lonely souls. But will their extraordinary date allow Finn and Anne to open their hearts to magical possibilities and Seal the Deal?

"JoAnne Kenrick transports her readers to that land between myth and reality where romance is all the magic you need. Don't miss your chance to visit!" ~ Heather Long, bestselling author of the Always a Marine series.

"Ms. Kenrick created a magical, romantic, and sexy world with vivid details that pull you in and make you beg for more. Seal the Deal is a wonderful, steamy addition to the 1Night Stand series and a must read." ~ Bestselling romance author, Lia Davis.

Mid-life Opportunity?

By Mia Catherine

It's never too late. The older I get, the more meaningful those words become. If you'd told me years ago I'd be venturing on a new career after the age of forty, I would have thought you were crazy. Seems we're groomed from an early age to complete school, attend college, work in your chosen field, and that's where you settle. If you're blessed enough to discover your passion in your late teens, you're golden. Many of us, myself included, weren't that fortunate.

With age comes experience—the kind you can't buy with tuition. Changes in finances, family, and society can dramatically alter someone, so it's no wonder people discover second careers later in life. More often, however, we hear about the dreaded mid-life crisis.

Never too Late available HERE

Crisis? Maybe to some, but I think that misnomer comes from the fact that so many make bad choices when the time comes. Instead of a crisis, I'd like to think of it as opportunity. If you find yourself in a rut...take a chance. At a precipice? Jump! Take a risk on a new career, embrace a new relationship, or buy something fun like a boat or a Harley!

In Never Too Late, Sam and Kathryn are both given their opportunity. Each dealing with their share of personal trials, they agree to be set up by Madame Eve for a 1Night Stand, but when they arrive, they're not prepared for the results. Will they embrace the opportunity presented? Will they realize it's never too late?

Have you, or someone you know, had this mid-life opportunity? What choice was made? Comment below and I'll pick a name at random to win a free copy of my new 1Night Stand, Never Too Late. 

Fangirling

The Fangirl's Dream available HERE

by Fierce Dolan

Fangirl - noun- female obsessed with a celebrity, fictional universe (book/film/tv), genre, game, music, icon, craft, fashion...

Behaviours of a fangirl: creates cults, fanlistings, shrines, attends cons, cosplay, writes fanfiction, creates fanart, and glomps.

Symptoms of the fangirl state, known as fangirling: shortness of breath, fainting, highpitched noises, shaking, fierce head shaking as if in the midst of a seizure, wet panties, endless blog posts, etc. 

We've all been there--so infatuated with something that we live and breathe it, pretend the object of our obsession begs for us.  Well, OK, maybe we've not all been there, but you know what I mean. The phenomenon of the fangirl isn't new. In fact, in the last few years, it's become rather trendy.   Their unrelenting appreciation has garnered them favors, sometimes even celebrity in their own right.  These days, fangirls are out and proud, reveling in their book boyfriend relationships, even revered for their ingenuity and quirky brilliance. They're morally active and culturally conscientious.  

Most of the time fangirls are considered everyday women who idolize some cherished thing. For kicks, I dug up some info on famous fangirls--women we all know, who are obsessed with the most squee-worthy treats. Here are a few famous fangirls:

·            Felicia Day, who created, directed and produced The Guild,  perhaps the best glimpse into the life of a MMORPG fangirl.

·            Kristen Bell, AKA Veronica Mars, who is a total fangirl for comics and admitted to being totally smitten by The Hunger Games trilogy.

·            Fictional Hermione Granger, the brainy lass obsessed with history and all things academic, of the Harry Potter series.

·            Joss Stone, songstress, who's mad for footballer, Robbie Fowler.

·            Martha Stewart, who made scrapbooking an industry, and can clean an entire kitchen with dental floss and baking soda.

·            Anne Rice, author who salivates for Joe Manganiello, of True Blood.

·            Betty White, commedienne, who has the hots for Robert Redford.

·            Keira Knightley, actress, confessed mad love for Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

What famous fangirls do you know? What about you? What awesomesauce makes you fangirl?

About The Fangirl's Dream

Siler Dunham would do anything to have Farraj Reza, hero of the smash network TV drama, Endangered. Every week she tunes in to watch him calculate the rescue of fellow bus crash survivors trapped deep in the jungle by a ruthless drug lord. A federal public defender with a penchant for saving the unsavable, she can’t resist his sad story, or his badass charm. When she seeks a matchmaking service to meet him, their one night stand isn't what she expected. Forced to choose between unbridled lust and compassion, Siler must forgo her fantasy... or mustn’t she?

Excerpt

  His lashes fluttered, then his eyes widened. The gun didn’t waver. “Who are you? Where did you come from?”

  “I’m here for you, Farraj, or whatever your name is. I came to meet you. You know—”

  He pressed the gun into her neck. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Hawa’a. That’s it right, what I’m supposed to say—some kind of watch word?”

  He clenched his jaw and his cheek twitched, and she imagined feeling it under her lips. “Who told you that word?”

  Balancing on her knees with her arms raised in surrender, she toppled onto her bottom. Grit clung to the back of her legs. Something’s not right. “Madame Eve, the woman who arranged our meeting. She told me to say Hawa’a, first thing.”

  As much as her restricted movement allowed, she looked around. Tiny beach. Palm trees. Crystal clear water. The cove….

  Annoyed, Siler nudged the gun back with her elbow and stood, brushing sand from her bottom and smoothing her wilting skirt. Sweat beaded her brow, and her carefully disheveled tresses cascaded in limp curls over her shoulders.

  “What is this?” Knuckles bracing her hips, she glared down the lowered barrel. “This is not what I asked for. What the fuck? Is this some kind of joke?”

  Disappointment rolled in her stomach and tears stung her eyes. I’m such an idiot. “You know what? Let’s just forget this whole ‘one-night’ thing, and I’ll go home.” Palms up, she took a step to one side then the other. The only evident path lay behind him. She would have to pass him, and the shotgun.

A Very Bunny Interview with Nate

by Bunny

Good morning, Nate. 

Why, good morning! Bunny, isn’t it? The name suits you.

Yes, it’s Bunny. So, I don’t get many aliens in my hot seat. Can you tell me a little about the world your from and a whole lot about yourself?

I don’t exactly think of myself as an alien. Though to everyone on Earth, I guess I am. I belong to a mostly extinct race from the planet Claustrum. We have explosive powers, though mine are diluted since I only share 25% or less of the Claustrian DNA. My parents didn’t exactly leave me a note when they abandoned me. Now, the planet is a prison, and I have no home. When I’m not stopping by the planets I am allowed on for a little R and R, I’m transporting the cargo through space that no one else wants on board.

Why a 1Night Stand? You would think somewhere out there in the universe you’d have found a woman. Is it that impossible to find a female in space or do they have two heads or something? Seriously. Because if you’re looking, I just might know this hot demon chick that would love to take a bite out of you.

Oh, it’s very easy to find a woman in space. But after a while, two heads, and three boobs gets boring. I didn’t want fun, I wanted something more. I wanted to know that there was someone always there for me, something I had for only a very short time in my life. But that love was stolen away from me.

Madame Eve is very exclusive. She screens all her clients very carefully. So, tell me, is there anything you might be hiding? Any reason why an eligible young...what are you exactly...would scare women away? You’re not a stalker are you? Oh, please tell me you are.

Stalker? Um, no. You know, I’m banned from several planets, right?

Buy Another Night, Another Planet HERE

Banned. Even better. You know, I have a thing for stalkers *winks* Plus I’m into the whole role-playing bit if you’d like to mix it up a bit. I’m quite schooled in Japanese knot tying, ball gags, rubber sheets and baby oil...wait, you’re the one that likes to be the stalker. We can certainly take turns if you want.

*raises eyebrow* Um, Bunny?

Well, you sounded like a bad boy. Did I misread this crazy energy coming off you? I can’t help it if you send mixed signals. Fine. You don’t know what you’re missing. Maybe I should go back to that military base I vacationed at last month. At least they were fine with playing hide and seek in the woods, and for your information, they loved my rope skills. 

I’m sure they did.

Back to the interview. I’ve heard about some alien ceremonies. Do you mind putting this cone-shaped hat on while I throw wreaths at it? Nate?

*crickets chirping.*

Not your planet? I could swear...where are my notes. *digs through purse* How about we just give it a little try? If you don’t want to wear the hat, I’m sure I can come up with something else to toss my rings on. 

Really? This is your idea of an interview?

                                                     

Yes. What’s your idea of a date, I mean interview?

*Stares*

Fine. Since you don’t want to cooperate with the alien games, I’ll just ask you a few more questions about your date. Tell me, what’s it like to get in on in zero grav? I’ve always wanted to try the whole space thing. Do you have to break out the Velcro suits?

My bunk is very small. There’s not much room to float around. Though plenty of room to have some fun, if you know what I mean.

There’s a questionnaire that is very specific, that you have to fill out before Madame Eve screens you. Could you tell the audience a few of the “musts” your ideal woman should possess? *Pulls out notebook* Please ignore the note taking. This is strictly for research purposes. Let’s start with your address and phone number, or the best way you can be reached.

That questionnaire was crazy! But I managed to get through it. A must for me was someone able to stand heat, and not afraid of a little fire. And I wanted a woman who enjoyed the cuddle time after, just as much as the sex. In all reality, the woman I described was exactly like my first love.

You just described all my attributes, except the cuddling part. But I’m great with fire. I’ll just get that personal data from you after the interview. So...Anna was selected for your date. Tell me a bit about her.

Ava.

Anna—Ava. If you ask me they sound the same.  So, tell me a bit about April? Was she everything you thought she would be?

Ava, and yes.

That’s too bad.

She is everything I was looking for. Exactly who I wanted for my date. Though, I never expected to see her again. Bunny, are you listening?

*Glances down at nails.* WHAT IS THAT!? Is my polish chipped? I swear they are getting cheaper and cheaper at the salon with the polish these days. *Looks up* Of course I’m listening. Go on about Allie....

*Leans forward* Are you getting a little warm? Your face looks rather flushed. You know what could help that? A nice cool shower. I have this garden hose from a previous interview. I’d be happy to hose you off, but you might want to take off that shirt first...and maybe the pants. Why don’t you just strip.

I don’t think so.

No?

No.

You know, you’re killing me. I had all these props ready to go when I heard we were having an alien today. Let’s just skip to the quickies. You ready?

Always.

Blondes or brunettes. 

Brunettes.

Tall or short? 

Somewhere in between.

T or A?

Both work for me.

Human or demon? I know you like demon. Admit it. 

Human. Sorry, Bunny.

You really don’t know what you’re missing. 

I’ve got Ava. I’m not missing anything.

Well, I’m getting the signal that it’s time to wrap this interview up. But before you go, Nate, could you tell me where you might have parked your ship? 

Later, Bunny. Thanks for the, um… interesting interview.

Hey come back here. I still haven’t...whatever. Just wait for me back stage. K? 

If you’d like to know more about Anna and Nate’s, I mean Ava and Nate’s date, you can purchase the tell-all exclusive, Another Night Another Planet here, since Nate isn’t cooperating.

See you next month when I interview...where are my notes? Hey! Has anyone seen my notes!?

Gah! I need a personal assistant. Forget it. I’ve got bigger aliens to catch. Anyone see where that cute guy from another world went? He was going to give me a tour of his ship. Nate? Hey Nate! Where’d you go? You know Bunny likes playing this little hard to get game, but come on, I’ve got my heels on and I don’t run that fast in them.

Nate? Pumpkin? Baby?

I better go. His trail is going to get cold.

Ciao.

Another Night, Another Planet 

Limited by status…

Ava is a housekeeper aboard Star Spirit, a luxury cruise ship travelling between the Milky Way and the Belvarian System. Coming from a middle-class family on Earth, she is considered by passengers as nothing more than an object to be tossed away when they’re done with her.

Shunned because of his lineage…

Banned from several planets across the universe, Nate struggles to run his interstellar shipping business. But the DNA of an exterminated race runs through his blood, giving him a diluted form of their powers, and leaving him labeled as a terrorist.

Both searching for the one…

Through her 1Night Stand dating service, Madame Evangeline matches these two together for a celestial escape on the pleasure planet, Elatia.
