In January 2013, the Inner Goddess Forum added a new feature: the blog. TinkNCognito and pearls wanted to provide a spot on their forum to help promote the authors they had been working with on the Forum and the Goodreads group. In the 2 years hence, we have added more readers and authors to our family of goddesses and gods.
On the same month, we opened the twitter @InnerGoddesses and the FB Inner Goddess profiles. Both are on the cusp of 2000 Friends/Likes. With all these great milestones, of course, we had to host a party!
Join us this weekend as we celebrate! We will be posting excerpts for you to enjoy while you sign up to win prizes from the authors. Each author has donated 2 items, one for each Grand Prize to be given away.
Visit us Jan. 30, 31 and Feb. 1 for more excerpts and prizes.
Enjoy! And thank you for the hours of enjoyment!

Blurb
Aiden is adamant that he doesn’t need a mate and that they would only get in the way, little does he realize Fate is sending him his mate first! He meets his destined mate Meryn Evans and things go downhill from there. In the first twenty four hours she kicks, screams and knocks her bear shifting mate unconscious. They eventually discover that life before finding each other may have been good, but life afterwards is perfect, even if it involves super soaker battles and accidentally discharging hand grenades.
My Commander Excerpt
Gavriel followed behind Aiden as they walked into the store. He wanted to pick up the chocolate for Beth and he was dying to see what advice the old man had for Aiden. Walking behind his commander they approached the register where the aged man sat flipping through an old Bass and Guns magazine. The older man’s face brightened when he saw Aiden approaching.
“Well look what the cat dragged in. Been awhile, son. Surely you don’t need more feminine products, considering how much you bought last time you was here.”
“Sir, I…” Aiden began. The old man held up a wrinkled hand.
“My name is Bartholomew son, you can call me Bart. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing a lot of you, we might as well be on first name basis.”
Aiden thrust his hand out giving the old man hand a thorough shake.
“My name is Aiden McKenzie, this is my… friend Gavriel Ambrosios.” Aiden pointed in his direction. Gavriel nodded.
Bart nodded back and turned to Aiden. “Okay son, what’s yer question?”
“What do you buy a woman to get back on her good side when you’ve made her really, really angry? Cake? Fudge?”
The wrinkles on the old man’s face scrunched together as he frowned.
“How angry did you make her boy?”
“She set my car on fire.”
The old man blinked and then began to laugh. He laughed so hard that he began to hack and wheeze. Gavriel thought for sure that Aiden had killed the gentleman. Holding his stomach the man continued to laugh as he reached for a pen and piece of paper. With a shaky hand he scrawled something on the paper and thrust it at Aiden. He exhaled and wiped his eyes still chuckling to himself.
Aiden looked at the paper. “Is this a place that sells good chocolate?” he asked.
“No son. That is the address where they sell jewelry. Chocolate can fix a lot of things, but it’s not the embodiment of kitten angel tears if you know what I mean. If yer woman set your car on fire, then son, the only thing that can help you at this point is something shiny.” The old man rubbed his rounded belly and began to chuckle again at Aiden’s chagrin.
“Come on sir, I know that place he is recommending, they do sell nice pieces there. How about you go wait in the car while I buy these candy bars.” Gavriel sympathetically pat Aiden on the back before the commander trudged back to the car. Gavriel turned to face the old man.
The old man watched Aiden leave, scratching his stubbled chin. “His woman really that feisty?”
“You have no idea.”
“What a lucky bastard.”
Gavriel shook his head. “Mine’s feistier.”
The old man shook his head and rang up the candy bars.
“I have a feeling I’ll be seeing more of you boys.”
Gavriel picked up the bag. “You’re probably right.”
Whistling he walked out of the store to meet up with Aiden.

Excerpt
“I’m asking you to surrender to five days of passion. To discover physical delights you’ve never known and will never know again.”
I stared at the doctor, at the photos, then back again.
He pointed to the page. “I want to watch those two men ravish you under my direction.”
It had to be a joke or one of those “gotcha” reality TV shows. He couldn’t possibly be serious. “I’m not a prostitute!” I stood, readying to leave.
“Of course you’re not.” He stood and grabbed my hand. “I didn’t mean to imply that you are. You’ll notice I’ve made you no promises. There isn’t a promotion or prize for doing this. I’m simply hoping you’ll choose to indulge me. There is something about you, Elaine. I would work to seduce you, if I was capable of it, but this is what I have to offer.”
I pulled my hand out of his. “This is crazy! You want me to sleep with these men so you can get off watching.”
“No. I want to tell these men how to touch your body so that I can bring you pleasure. It will be me making love to you. I chose them to make the experience as stimulating as possible. Understand, in all of this, it’s me who is in charge; it’s me you’ll be intimate with. Those two men will be an extra set of lips, an additional tongue, another cock at my disposal to make you writhe.”
His words did things to me—a strange, hot seduction.
“Why two men?”
“Ever make love to two men at once?”
