Mr. Lyons and I have been married 21 years this summer. I fell for his waterbed and cat-loving ways when we first met. >^..^< The man did not own a pair of cowboy boots or dance to anything that wasn’t a mosh pit, but I educated him right quick — if he wanted this cowgirl, Wranglers and Alabama and the two-step would need to be added to his vocabulary — and wardrobe — fast!

But I digress. Toys. Do you like them in your books? In real life? Do you like food play in your sex scenes, whether they’re between the sheets of your bed or in the pages of your favorite book? What would you like to read about that you haven’t seen in a story?
Is there anything you’d like to try in real life? Have you ever experienced a toy (or condiment), with or without a partner, that makes your knees go weak when you think of it? I confess, though I’ve never seen anything like this outside my imagination, ever since Terri wrote “There’s another real nice toy….one side is feathers and the other a type of whip. Which will he choose?” in the comments of this post, I can’t get it out of my mind
When it comes to Mr. Lyons and moi, one of us would like to experiment, to fool around a bit with squirt cans of whipped cream, with the drizzle of chocolate sauce. The other? Says Nah, bring on the baby oil! I’ll leave it to your imagination how those encounters end up.
What brought all this on? Well, I’ve just submitted Book 2 of my Power Player series which features professional hockey players and the woman who gets between them–in bed, in the hallway, etc… While writing the last sex scene, I noticed a creative use of chocolate sauce flowed out of my pen. In fact, I think I subtitled that particular chapter “Chocolate Sauce to the Rescue” so it got me to thinking about future stories, future ideas.
Check out book 1, My Two-Stud Stand, if you like your men hung, hot and hanging around an ice rink. $2.49 erotica release available from Ellora’s Cave.
Because sometimes, a girl just really needs a good, hard puck…
When a professional hockey player—Russian by birth, sexy by the grace of God—propositions her, usually inhibited Carolina allows herself to be seduced with heavily accented words and devastating kisses, right up to Rurik’s hotel room. Where Carolina, drugged on passion and feeling more self-assured by the second, is faced with two “players” when Rurik’s roommate, the team goalie Jeff, emerges fresh from the shower.
Confronted with the prospect of a two-stud stand, enraptured by Rurik’s kisses and Jeff’s speculative glower, Carolina debates with her protesting conscience. At stake? The night of her life. The prize? More orgasms than she knows what to do with.

And stay tuned. I’ll have some cowboy-story news before too long…
Happy Friday! Larissa












Great post! I agree with all of the above. Toys and food can be a great way to keep things spicy in the bedroom. Not for everyday use but just for a change up and a little excitement. It’s nice to see not everyone is scared to talk about such a risqué topic
Glad you enjoyed the subject matter. I did ask Mr. Lyons if it was okay with him; obviously he agreed. (Hmmm…maybe this is why he’s hesitant to “Like” my books on his personal Facebook page? Doesn’t want his Great Aunt Jo or his dad the preacher reading about food and fun in the bedroom??)

I love the occasional toy and food item in our bed. It adds to the pleasure for sure! even perusing the website for toys can be fun to see what he or I would like. Don’t always buy but it is definitely interesting to see what is out there.
About once a year, I find a new toy and buy it. And that’s how often I go shopping for ‘em…you must have great willpower to check out what’s out there without doing that “point, click, own” thing!
Lol, great post. I’ve never really cared for food but toys I like. And that excerpt was HOTT. I’ll be getting that book soon
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the excerpt.
OMG yep i love toys in my books but i don’t like them to take over… The men in the books are so awesomely yummy they could do without the toys but a little something extra thrown in is fantastic.. Or Props…
Helen
That’s a really good point — letting toys add a little spice without taking over from these alphas we all adore. What do you mean by props? I’m afraid my ignorance is showing…

I am interested in reading about toys, and I a few for my personal use, but haven’t introduced them to hubby yet, he is very old school and I just don’t think he’d be intersted. So my sex life sucks. I don’t know about food. Doesn’t bother me to read about it. Don’t know if I’d want to go there. LOL. Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks.
Hey Tiss – your comment cracked me up. Sorry to hear the sex life sucks and not in a good way. My other half isn’t comfortable with the ideas of toys either, but he’s cool with me using them for myself so that’s where we’ve compromised.
i don’t mind reading about them as long as it isn’t just about the toys and the food. i like to read about what the guy/girl feels about them. as for in my life not so much.
i am pretty vanilla ,although i would be okay with food i would not be okay with toys.
i guess i feel if it aint real it aint worth it.
That’s quotable! “If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth it.” Love that.
Hot book. I use toys in my books and have a few for my personal use as well. Food has never really been high on my list mainly because I’ve heard of issues with food. But I have used ice cubes
Issues with food?? You certainly set my mind to pondering…
And I’ve heard of playing with ice cubes but I guess I’m chicken on that front. The very thought makes me shudder. Talk about frostbite!
It’s called infection/problems with certain areas of the body from food that really shouldn’t be placed there (yeast infection mainly). Oh, the ice cube will make you shudder alright (LOL)
Oh my gosh! This is way too risque for me tonight. Thanks for the fun post.
Oops, it looks like Marie and I got Jen shuddering, but not in an ice-cube induced way.
Shocked to see me brought up. Hey, I like to check out the toys. I haven’t gotten hubby too interested in trying them out but I have dreams…… I have a few toys too. I like reading about them in my books. Ususally that gives me more ideas.
As for food…..we’ve tried it a long time ago. Remember to have clean sheets around.
Hey Terri! You’d think I’d get more ideas from reading, but actually, most of my ideas come while I’m writing.
Yes, clean sheets is a must! Although you can buy large plastic sheets at the hardware store that work wonders. [Evil grin]
