“You’re the one who is always preaching to me about sharing,” Bellz said, lowering them both to their feet. “So let me have a little longer.” 1/5

He moved his hands down Mina’s body, cupping her vulva in one hand and squeezing her ass in the other while he sucked noisily on her neck. 2/5

He placed one hand on her hip and the other on her left breast, took another step forward, and buried his face in the other side of her neck. 4/5

I didn't want to leave out The Quickening, so I made a naughty word count for it too!

Over my nebula cloud background of purple and brick red, I've placed the cover of The Quickening (art by Meowlayn) in a black border. It's off to the right side and extends just a little bit past the center of the slide. The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Text above them reads, "Susan Beth Cole." Across the bottom reads, "The Quickening: A Paradises Ours Novel Book 2" Text reads, “Naughty Word Count: Cl1t: 64 Br3@st: 48 C0ck:41 N1ppl3:29 L@bi@: 22 D1ck: 19 P&ssy: 16 F0lds: 16 V&lv@: 10 V@g1n@: 8 C&nt: 6 B@lls: 5 P3n15: 4 P3t@ls: 2.

Luci and Mina's story continues in The Quickening--out now! Borrowing the cover art from book 1 to promote book 2.

A close up of the cover art of The Little Death by Meowlayn of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes, stars and a bit of Luci's wing are visible in the background. Text reads, "The Quickening Paradise Ours Book 2." A snippet from the book reads: He came up behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her against him. “You love me and my heathen ways.” “I really, truly do.”

The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Text above them reads, "Susan Beth Cole." Across the bottom reads, "The Quickening: A Paradises Ours Novel Book 2"

The full cover spread of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. A purple moon hangs behind a throne carved of stone. That sits above a field of jagged rocks and lava. There are mountains against the horizon. Stars and souls scatter the purple sky that transitions to a reddish hue closest to the mountains. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist.

Over the artwork for the back cover of The Quickening, featuring a throne carved from stone, escaping spirits, the night sky, and lava, I placed a close up of Mina and Luci from the cover of The Little Death. They have quote bubbles. Mina's says "Satan, yes." and Luci's says, "Were you addressing me or swearing?

Today I'm sharing a snippet that a reader told me made them swoon.

The Little Death is available now in eBook, paperback, and on Kobo Plus.

Cover art by @meowlayn.bsky.social

The background was made in procreate using textured brushes in blue and green that make it looks like stone, concrete, and rock. I've placed a close up of the cover, created by @meowlayn.art, of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes. She straddles him as he holds her up, his black wings spread and the stars behind them. Text reads: He growled. “You are mine.” “I am my own.” Mina watched for Luci’s reaction. He offered her none, only staring at her as he had been. There was no flicker of anger, confusion, or surprise. It was a breath of fresh air after the way Victor had treated her. “But I am also yours, freely given.”

The cover art for The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. Mina straddles Lucifer as he holds her. His black wings are spread, keeping them aloft above lava. The night sky is behind them. Luci is wearing all black. Mina is wearing a blue dress that flows behind her. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn.

“If you insist on sharing, then we are going to share, Brother.” Luci’s voice came from right behind her, and she could feel his warmth on her back. 3/5

I went with a spicier excerpt today because of the war payment processors have waged against this very content. I censored some of the words in this post here, but not in the alt text.

A dark grey background. A close up of Mina and Luci from the cover of The Little Death, artwork by Meowlayn. A green and blue nebula cloud planchette, and the words, "You are perfect." An excerpt reads: Her nipples were hard and pebbled through the bodice of her sundress. Luci roughly bit one. “Gah! That hurts!” “You love it,” Luci mumbled into her skin. Equal parts surprised and thrilled that he was right, Mina said, “It seriously creeps me out that you know that.” “Does it also creep you out that I know that the thought of being thrown into Hellfire gets you more than a little wet?” Some look must have crossed her face because he added, “Stop feeling fucked up about it. You are perfect.”

A close up of the cover art by Meowlayn of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes, stars and a bit of Luci's wing are visible in the background.

One thing I love about my town—there are so many parks with a little bit of nature tucked right alongside them. I love being able to take a tiny video while out with the kids.
