Blog Tour: "Losing Control" by Tina Donahue (Promo/Giveaway)
Welcome to our Virtual tour stop of "Losing Control" by Tina Donahue brought to you by Lit Connect Events.
Losing Control
by: Tina Donahue
Publishing Date: 12/28/12
Publisher: Ellora's Cave Publishing
Genre: Erotica
Description:
When it comes to passion, there are no rules.
She wasn’t supposed to hunger
for him. Tim was off limits to Catherine, a high-priced call girl with an
uneasy past. Indulging in his raw desire shouldn’t have happened, especially at
a party attended by the nation’s elite. Tim doesn’t know she works for the
agency. If he did… That’s not something Catherine wants to confess. Drowning in
his strength and heat, aching to see him again, she keeps her secret.
Tim has never met anyone quite
like Catherine. Exotic, elegant, earthy, she’s the best of all worlds. Their
evenings are sensual delights where voyeurism, bondage and a growing bond
satisfy carnal needs and stir something deep within—until he stumbles upon the
truth.
Shaken by her lies, Tim needs
to prove the depth of Catherine’s lust and yearning
once and for all. For him, their erotic adventure has only begun.
A Romantica® erotic romance from Ellora’s
Cave
Tim stepped closer to
the stairs, his face lifted to the young woman on the landing. He was vaguely
aware of the party sounds fading, the steady drone of too many inane
conversations and music drifting away, leaving only the rapid thumping of his
pulse.
Who in the world was
she?
More importantly, was
she alone?
Tim hoped to god she
was. Rarely had he witnessed anyone as…amazing. A better description eluded
him. Seeing her on the stairs, framed in the chandelier’s light like an erotic
vision, had stolen his ability to think and put his body into overdrive. His
skin actually tingled. Hell, his mouth was so dry he couldn’t swallow.
When was the last time
that had happened with any woman since Fantine?
His one misstep and
regret a long time ago in Paris.
A time he refused to
think about now. Dismissing the past, he concentrated on this young woman. She
appeared to be in her mid-twenties and was tall, five-nine or so without her
heels. Tim caught a glimpse of them through the side slit in her gown. That
baby was fucking awesome, the Maserati of dresses.
Of a coppery color,
the fabric hugged her ripe breasts and the sweet flare of her hips. From where
Tim stood, he could see that only a thin strap on each of her shoulders held
the damn thing up, which bared them and her back, where the straps appeared to
crisscross and the gown dipped to her waist. The chandelier’s light rained
down, making the dress’s tiny beads glimmer, while also bringing out the
reddish highlights in her dark brown hair. Wavy and glossy, that mane reached
past her bare shoulders, her skin a delicious tawny shade, complementing her
dress and features.
She was either a
Latina or possibly a mixture of Caucasian and African-American. Her light
eyes—blue or green—were indicative of her European ancestors. Her complexion
and luscious mouth spoke of a more diverse past. To say she was lovely didn’t
begin to define her allure. Exotic might work. Sensuous and sultry also came to
mind.
With no effort at all,
Tim smiled even as the rest of him remained frozen in awe.
She regarded him for a
long moment, a bit of uncertainty flickering across her glorious features.
Why? Did his smile
look odd? Too predatory? Did she really think any sane man could regard her in
another way? Or was the problem something else…who she’d arrived with? A
jealous boyfriend, or worse, a possessive husband.
Cautious, Tim checked
her hands. She wasn’t wearing a wedding band, engagement ring or any ring for
that matter. Her only jewelry was dangling earrings. The diamonds glittered in
the light, drizzling pinpoints of color on her skin.
A group of women
approached from the right and moved past her down the stairs. Two were
senators, one the wife of a well-known oil baron, the last three lobbyists, the
same as him.
The women chattered
and laughed on their way to the foyer. Minutes before, Tim would have
acknowledged them with a smile or a nod no matter how bored he’d been. That
lassitude had evolved into such quick desire and interest, he was afraid they’d
notice his hard-on. If his cock stiffened more than it already had, he’d be in
serious pain.
He studied the young
woman, imagining her shameless kisses, eager mouth and exploring hands. Her
slender fingers would get rid of his clothing quickly, ripping it from him if
need be.
No way would he mind
that.
Once he was nude, he’d
encourage her to crawl all over him, tasting his throat, belly, groin, touching
all of his good parts too. Obedient to his desires, she’d lavish most of her
attention on his cock, holding it in fascination, testing the weight of his
balls in her palm.
Her touch wouldn’t be
too light or too rough, but precisely what he required.
Unable to help
himself, he stepped closer. The tip of his left shoe hit the bottom stair, its
tiny tap lost beneath the party’s noise that began to intrude. Others moved
into the expansive foyer, laughing, conversing, debating hot-button issues that
they’d never agree on. In the grand reception hall, the pianist played
Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue,
reaching the piece’s crescendo.
On those vibrant, wild
notes, she descended, her gown fluttering around her long legs.
Images of them flooded
Tim’s mind, her creamy flesh exposed to his sight, touch, taste. He pictured
his mouth pressed to her furry mound and soft folds, so heated and damp, ready
for his tongue and cock.
Bursts of heat spread
from his groin to his thighs and chest, both energizing and weakening him. A
freaking bizarre combination, like having the urge to jog during a heart
attack. Taking a full breath became too much of an effort. All he could do was
wait as she negotiated the staircase one slow step at a time. Her unhurried
pace seemed deliberate, as though she wanted to keep him in suspense, see how
much he desired her.
Was there any doubt?
He was still here, wasn’t he?
