Telepathic Bond
Cia, thank you very much for having
me. I'm here to talk about my new release, The Wolf and His Diva, a m/m
shape-shifter romance which was published by Dreamspinner Press on March 12th.
In The Wolf and His Diva, the
two main characters, George and Billy, are deeply attuned to each other. They
share a telepathic bond that grows throughout the story. These two trust each
other and have mutual empathy. George and Billy “talk” to each other via their
telepathy. That means they communicate not only via the spoken language but
also through their feelings for each other, as well as images and desires.
The telepathy has its advantages
but, of course, also its disadvantages because if the bond is strong than
privacy can become an issue. George and Billy can't hide their feelings or
desires from each other and that's bound to bring some friction into their
relationship, especially when one of them wants to keep something to himself...
It was great fun to explore the
telepathic bond between George and Billy, how they responded to each other's
feelings and desires. I've brought an excerpt with me that'll allow you a
glimpse into their special relationship. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Blurb:
George Owens is
comfortable with his life just the way it is. A wolf- and fox-shifter, George
leads a reclusive lifestyle with his energetic and diva-ish mate Billy, a
fox-and squirrel-shifter.
George has no desire to take
over leadership of the pack, despite his father’s wishes. Edward Owens is
feeling his age and wants to make sure the pack is in good hands should he not
be able to win his next challenge. However, George is adamant that he wants no
part of it.
But events rock
George from his complacency, and he realizes he has to take a stand and fight
for what he cares about. If he remains in the past and cannot change in order
to do what he must, he risks losing everything he loves.
Excerpt
from Chapter Four:
“Want me to tell you a secret?”
“Hmm.” George’s neck muscles corded,
which would surely result in a headache later. Still, he forced himself to ask,
“What secret?”
“How I always know when you’re
thinking cheesy stuff?”
The tension in his neck released
with surprising force. George aimed for his usual tone when he retorted, “Why
does it have to be cheesy?”
“Every time you think, um, romantic
stuff, I’m tingling all over and there’s warmth spreading from my gut to the
rest of my body. It feels like… like a surge of heat, and the intensity of it
always catches me off guard.”
George turned around so he could
face Billy. “I didn’t know that. Why don’t I ever feel like this?”
Billy stared at him, then closed his
eyes. George cocked his head to the side, certain Billy would be doing
something soon. At first nothing happened. Just when he readied himself to open
his mouth, sweat broke out on his skin. Warmth filled him from the inside and
grew in intensity. He looked at his belly hidden beneath his sweater, wondering
whether a flame would be flaring up while the comfortable warmth changed into
fieriness. Gasping, he trembled from the hotness that traveled through his
body, almost as if it wanted to devour him.
As fast as the sensation had hit
him, it vanished, although a soft, comfortable tingle remained. He swayed on
the spot as he asked breathlessly, “What was that?”
“Me thinking gooey stuff about you
and me. I… usually clamp down on it because… well, it’s a tiny bit
embarrassing, don’t you think?”
Billy squinted up at George, with
cheeks that seemed to have almost the same color as his hair. George reached
out and gently cupped Billy’s face in his hands. He stroked his thumbs along
the prominent cheekbones, still reeling from the intensity of Billy’s feelings
for him. Allowing himself permission to let go, his love for Billy surged
through him.
He was rewarded with a shuddering
intake of breath from Billy. A moment later, Billy freed his face from George’s
hands and pressed it against George’s chest, breathing harshly and fast. “Oh,
man, this is better than any orgasm.”
George laughed out loud, then
wrapped his arms around Billy. “Think about how it would feel if we combine the
sensations?”
“Are you sure we’d survive it?”
“How
about we try it out?”
