#lesficfri and the theme is TEMPT. Riley may indeed be a little tempted ^^
(Who wouldn't be, after all)

[Heart's Claim, a #sapphic shifter romance]

books2read.com/u/4AABOo

Cover of Heart's Claim, with the following excerpt:
The packaging all screamed out at her, making all sorts of promises as to the euphoria that lay within, alluring, tempting her, a form of magic in itself, but she’d been in shops like these enough times to ignore it. Mostly.

“Alright then,” Pat shrugged. “Take the cue and put it in your fingers like this.” Pat took Lisa’s hand and placed it correctly on the table. She leaned over her, sliding the cue steadily across her knuckles.
Lisa nearly fainted in her scent. Lisa thought she felt Pat's slight breasts brush against her back. Tempting her. How the hell was a pool cue sliding between her knuckles making her think about sex? Was she fourteen? Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was because her jeans felt like too much material between her and Pat’s thighs. Was there something else there? Was Pat packing?
Which was when Josh walked in.

“Do you trust me?” I asked coyly.

“That’s exactly what a daemon would say before leading me into #temptation.”

#LesFicFri "TEMPT"

She looked around for some way to bar the door, perhaps a chair against it. Not much of a barrier but it would serve to delay entry if someone tried.

But that in itself could be a problem if one of the servants tried to enter. She was acutely aware from her Brontë novels, and others, that women who behaved strangely were locked up either in a wing of the house, or Bedlam.

She sighed. It was quite ridiculous how difficult satisfying a simple desire could be. Of course, she could wait through all the rest of the day until she went to bed, but she was not willing to do that.

This was her birthday, after all, and the throbbing temptation of her breasts had barely diminished. She desired to explore them further; to prove the point she lifted both her hands to her bosom and squeezed each breast hard. The effect almost made her swoon as shivers danced through her body.

Oh, indeed, there was no question, she must get at them unobstructed. They demanded immediate attention.

Her dark eyes, as sharp as any blade that Leanora wielded, darted to her for a **temptingly** narrow instant and then flicked back to the floor

#LesFicFri *Tempt*

From On the Edge of Uncertainty, Out 1st Dec 2025

“It was so tempting to stroke her cheek, feel the smoothness of her body against hers, but she stayed her hand. She felt the warmth of Diana’s breath mingling with her own…intoxicating. And dangerous.”

#LesficFri "Tempt"

I don't have the word itself (could probably add it somewhere in there, though), but these vibes are... tempting. From my second Kinktober story, currently revising it.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #MileenaSuêòng #QueerWriters

Heart beating fast, Mileena watched as Tanya stepped out of her shoes and sashayed to the lake, dropping pieces of clothing on the way. Roots along her back and legs stretched, relieved to be free of the fabric’s pressure. Mileena’s mouth watered, a craving thrumming inside her, one she had long learnt to repress: the desire for the hunt.

Tanya dipped a toe into the lake, a root near her shoulder squirming in reaction, then half-turned her head. “You coming?” Not waiting for a reply, she jumped in.

For this week's #lesficfri, the word is tempt, and here's a bit of a throwback Friday, to the very beginning of Carpenter/Harding. I'm fortunate that readers were tempted to read more about Jordan and Ellie, because we'll be up to book #18 in January!
