The SEXPERT

The SEXPERT

EDEN I’m just a simple girl who likes dessert. And sexy men. And social media. So starting an anonymous video channel called The Sexpert as a side hustle to make up for my low-paying marketing job at Le Man Magazine seemed like a perfectly sensible career decision. Until we went viral, my boss accused my anonymous personality of stealing his idea, and now my super sexy new boyfriend, Andrew, is out to get me. Her. Me. Whatever. ANDREW I don’t want it to be her. I do not want this… sweet, delicious, shy social media nerd working at my best friend’s magazine to be the face behind those perky cupcakes on the Sexpert channel. I don’t want it to be her… because I like her. A lot. She’s funny, and quirky, and smart, and creative… and… I really, really like her. It just can’t be her. But it is. More info →

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE GIVEAWAY

Oh, wow. We have a huge announcement for you guys today!

Johnathan and I finished our FIFTH book together a couple weeks ago and now we’re ready to reveal the title, description, and cover for you guys! We had SUCH a fantastic time writing this book. Every time we passed chapters back and forth we just… laughed. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments in here, it’s ridiculous!

So in case you didn’t guess this is a romantic comedy. One the one hand we have EDEN PRESLEY. Just a nice girl with spectacular… um… cupcakes and a low-paying job as a hashtag maker for a glossy men’s magazine. So broke-ass Eden and her broke-ass (newly single-mother) BFF Zoey come up with an idea for an anonymous YouTube Channel called… you guessed it. The Sexpert. Eden and her cupcakes are the stars, BFF Zoey is behind the scenes doing web design and production.

Then one day they go viral. People are watching, and clicking, and FINALLY this time-suck of a gig is gonna pay off.

Great, right?

Nope. Because HER BOSS claims he had the Sexpert idea first, didn’t trademark it, and is now accusing The Sexpert of stealing his idea. So he hires HIS BFF to hunt down this anonymous idea-stealing tart and out her.

Enter ANDREW HAWTHORNE. BFF to Eden’s boss, brand-new billionaire, and creator of the cool new voice-altering app, VoiceLift.

Which… is how the Sexpert has been disguising her voice and is about to be her downfall.

Sexy hi-jinks ensue… with much laughter along the way.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO WE PRESENT TO YOU…

READ AN EXCERPT

MADDIE

It strikes me suddenly that I’m not the only one who will notice how fucking good Tyler looks now that he’s all clean-shaven and you can really see that ridiculously fortunate bone structure he has. And I’m a little embarrassed about the fact that I just got all possessive and shit. I’m about to say something to that effect, either make a joke or play it off, but before I can, Tyler grabs me around the waist, pulls me to him and whispers, “That was so fucking hot,” just as the doors to another elevator pop open.

He walks me backwards into the car and frantically pushes the “door close” button before anyone else can step in. He’s got me pressed against the mirrored glass and his hands are between my denim-covered thighs, cupping my pussy. He kisses my neck and the feel of his lips, without any rough hair to brush and scratch against mine, feels so good that I can barely stand it. I didn’t realize his kiss was so soft. The skin of his mouth feels new. Like, I was just starting to get accustomed to the way his kisses felt, and suddenly it’s a whole new experience. New, but familiar. The same way it was when I met him.

It’s how this whole moment feels. Back in the Mandarin where we were on Halloween when we found out who we are. A concept which, I realize in this moment, might be true in more ways than one. It’s been barely two months since we turned each other’s lives upside down. Except that’s not quite fair. Or accurate. Our lives were already upside down. We’ve turned them back right side up. Yeah, we disrupted each other’s worlds, but we did so in the most magnificent way. And it’s starting to feel like that disruption is going to result in a life that actually feels… settled.

I realize that life with Tyler Morgan will never be boring. That much seems incredibly evident. But life is unpredictable no matter what we do to try to put rules in place to keep it from feeling that way. At least with Tyler the unpredictability doesn’t seem scary. With him, as much as is possible, the unpredictability feels safe.

TYLER

Just like the beard was keeping me at a distance from the people I would see walking down the street, it was keeping me at a distance from her when we were alone together. It was an unrealized blockade impeding my ability to be as close to her as I want to be. There is no such impediment now, and I am engulfing myself inside her.

The feel of my cheeks nuzzled in between hers makes this moment seem so…sweet. It’s nice. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s just kind of…pure. That’s how I feel. That’s what I think.

I also feel like one good rimming deserves another.

So, moving my head in tiny circles around her ass, just like she did to me a couple of days ago, I get off on the whining noises she makes, and I work two fingers inside her pussy to help everybody along. With my other hand I begin fisting my cock. I’m trying to go slowly so that I don’t fucking come right here all over the Mandarin’s nice carpet. I already burned down one of their condos, I don’t want to fuck up one of their suites too. New-look Tyler is considerate like that. But as slowly as I’m trying to go, she’s making it tough because of the way she’s rotating her ass and hips around.

And suddenly, I don’t want to be behind her. I mean, I love the view from here and I love the way she tastes, but I want to see her. I want to look at her face and have her look at mine. Yeah. I want her to look at me. I want her to see me.

So I pull away, flop down on my back on the bed beside her, and summon to her with my index finger to come over. She does, smiling as she mounts me. She takes my two fingers that were just inside her and puts them in her mouth. And I remember the first time I saw her do that. I told her, “You’re going to fucking kill me.” But she didn’t. She didn’t. It was exactly the opposite. She fucking saved me. And so now, with her astride me, I sit up, take her face in my hands, look her square in the eyes, and tell her, “I fucking love you.”

She closes her own eyes with a shy smile and whispers, “I fucking love you.”

EXCERPT FROM FLESH INTO FIRE

He leans onto the bed and eases forward. My legs open wider for him, welcome him between them as his cock—hard, and long, and ready—rests against my clit, making me want him.

If we stopped right now, if he just rested his chest on top of my breasts, became nothing more than heavy weight as he closed his eyes, relaxed, and fell asleep… I’d be content, happy, and satisfied.

And not because there’d be more chances to do this later. But because it’s him I want. Not the sex.

He leans down, his hands on either side of my head now. Bending the mattress the way spacetime bends around a sun. And when his lips reach mine, my eyes are closed.

And I fall again.

I fall far, and long, and easily. The same way I drifted towards him. And as I drift, weightless, we kiss. But I’m still connected to him. Always next to him. Because this is what it feels like to fall into someone, not away.

This is not me slipping down the mountain.

This is not me losing my footing.

This is me finding myself. In him. In us.

So when I reach my hand between my legs and place him right where he needs to be, he enters me. And all those broken, spinning pieces come together to once again create the thing we were always meant to become.

Our bodies move together. Perfectly synchronized. Like the dance of stars in space. His body is hot, and my body is hot, and the heat we create between us doesn’t burn like fire but rearranges us. Like the molecules of two metals mixing to form the strongest sword made of the very best steel.

Our lovemaking is slow. And perfect.

We reach the heights of pleasure together. As one. And it’s the kind of climax that only happens once in a lifetime. The kind of release that means more than the way it makes you feel. It tells you who you are, and who you’re with, and exactly where you fit in the grand scheme of things.

He says, “I love you, Madison.”

And I say it back. “I love you, Tyler.”

We mold ourselves into each other as we relax and grow sleepy. Our bodies back together. His arms around me. My back pressed against his chest.

Our hearts beating. Keeping time.

Becoming what we were always meant to be.

Sometimes angels fall.

Maddie doesn’t really owe drug lord, Carlos Castillo, money. So she hadn’t taken his threats seriously. Until now. He wants it, whether she owes it or not. And if she doesn’t have it in six weeks he’s gonna take her as payment instead.

Tyler would save the world if he could. That’s a fight that lasts forever. And if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s fighting. So if Maddie thinks she’s gonna deal with an insane drug lord on her own, she’s crazier than he is.

She’s got a debt she can’t pay. He’s got more money than he needs.

She’s not gonna fall for his charm. He’s gonna make sure that happens.

They’re destined to be together. Even if Maddie doesn’t know it yet.

Sometimes your soul mate isn’t who you’d choose, it’s who you need.

Good thing you don’t get to choose.

TYLER

“How’s that feel?” I mutter out, my mouth just above a whisper. Just loud enough for her to hear the question over the hum of the vibrator and the sound of her own moans.

“Good,” she whines back.

“Just good?” I ask.

But before I let her answer the question, I slide the vibrator back to the opening I’m currently pouring myself into and work the very tip of the second dick inside of her as well, stretching her just that much more open and continuing to thrust back and forth while the vibrator massages the inside of her walls. She begins panting.

“How ‘bout now?” I ask.

“Fuck yeah,” she groans back.

Her hands splay out in front of her, gripping at the sheets, her arms stiffening and her lower back arching more as she continues pressing into me. I pull the vibrator away and lay it on the bed.

“What are you doing?” she pleads. “That was amazing.”

“No,” I whisper as I bend over to kiss her shoulder blades and bury my face in her hair. “That wasn’t amazing. This is amazing.”

And before she can ask ‘what?’ I’m up on the bed, my knees under me, her pulled back onto my dick, ass pressed into my thighs like she’s sitting on my lap, her legs sticking out behind me, and I tell her, “Put your arms out in front of you. Like Supergirl. I’m gonna make you fly.”

“What?” she says.

I take both of her arms, throw them out in front of her, grab her hips as tightly as I can, and pound in and out of her ferociously, bouncing her on my cock.

“Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit,” she huffs with each thrust.

She keeps her arms suspended in the air that way like the sexiest goddamn super-hero ever, flying through the sky, propelled forward by the force of our fucking. I support her weight with my hands on her hips and the hard, fast motion of my thighs driving into her creamy skin, over and over again. I can feel her muscles tighten as she strains to hold herself aloft and it just makes me fuck her harder.

I keep my right hand in place and with my left, I take up a fistful of silky red. I yank her hair back, exposing her neck to the ceiling and her hands now fly up to grab at my fist, making sure to keep it locked there on her head.

Or so I think.

Because suddenly, she’s pulling my hand away from her hair and bringing it around to rest on her throat.

“Here,” she pants. “Squeeze.”

Two broken people in a city fueled by sin.

Maddie isn’t looking to be saved. She knows the only person you can count on is yourself. Her moral compass might not point true North these days—but at least she’s still standing.

The military taught Tyler about loyalty. Being there for your brothers is the only thing that matters—but when it mattered most, he wasn’t.

She’s got a ticket straight to Hell. He’s already been there and back.

She needs to win. He just needs to stop fighting.

Some sins scar your soul so deeply, you’ll never be the same.

But this Devil in disguise might just be the angel he needs to forgive himself.

His hand slips around the curve of my ass, squeezing it so hard, I bite my lip to stifle a whimper. His fingers press into my skin, grabbing hold of me like he might never let go.

His tongue laps against my pussy, then flicks my clit. I fist his hair and let my head fall back—pressing against the brick wall. He does this little move with his tongue. Teasing me as he swirls it around, presses his mouth firmly against my clit, and moves it back and forth so quick, I drop a hand down to his shoulder and dig my nails in. Like I might never let go either.

It’s been a while for me. Too long, really. And I can feel the climax building and building, and then—

“Not yet, angel,” he murmurs.

“Yes,” I say, insistent. “Now. We’re in the alley and there’s people—”

“There’s no people,” he counters. “And I want to be inside you when you come. I want you to be fucked as much as possible before I let you finish.”

“Hey,” I say. I really need this guy’s real name. I can’t keep calling him that. Especially during sex. “We gotta hurry. I’m at work and—”

“You’re not at work. You’re with me, Scarlett.”

And I really need to tell him my name too. Because I feel like I’m morphing into Scarlett. This is the kind of thing she does, not me.

Isn’t it?

He lifts my legs, still pushing me against the wall, repositions them so they drape over the crook in his arms. He’s holding both ass cheeks, squeezing them hard and pressing against me with his hard cock. But we’re eye level and I’m looking at him like… like we’re something. Like maybe I am with him.

He grins. A devilish, mischievous grin. Says, “How do you like it?”

“Like it?” I say, my eyes darting around to make sure no one can see us.

“Scarlett,” he says, demanding my attention. “Look at me. And tell me how you like to be fucked.”

“Uhhh… good.”

He laughs. “Roger that. Anything else?”

“Just…” I start. Because I’m not really into the dirty-talking shit. I’m not into alley sex, or wall sex, or giving blow jobs for money. But I’ve done all those things since I met him. Last. Fucking. Weekend.

So fuck it. I’m Scarlett now, I guess.

“Hard,” I say. “I like it hard.”

He smiles.

“And dirty.”

“Filthy?” he asks. “Or just dirty?”

I take a moment to wonder how much difference there is between filthy and dirty.

“Scarlett,” he says, pushing his stiff cock up to the entrance of my pussy. God, I’m wet. And the way he’s teasing me has my whole body trembling. “Tell me how to fuck you. Because if you don’t, you’re just gonna have to get it the way I like to give it.”

Jesus Christ.

LAST ONE

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LAST GIVEAWAY!

This is the final cover in the Original Sin Series and I think it’s worth a little talk about covers in general. When you first become an author you think about your cover first. I imagine all authors are similar in that respect, ya know? When I was writing my first Junco book (Clutch) I had all kinds of ideas. I hired an artist over at DeviantArt to make my dream a reality. It’s a great cover and I still use it as the cover of the first omnibus edition. But that artist changed artistic direction and didn’t want to do anymore after he was done, so I got another guy, also wonderful. But eventually I changed them to the softer versions that are for sale now to try to appeal to women instead of men.

Funny, that lesson. 😉 Because when you’re writing romance it’s the same thing. You have a pool of “potential readers” out there when you publish a book and pretty much ALL OF THEM can figure out if a book is “their thing” by looking at the cover. So you know, fuck that saying don’t judge a book by its cover. I mean, it’s cool when you apply it to people or houses or whatever. But seriously, that adage has almost no relevance to books. Because the cover is the MAIN thing a book is judged on until it’s read.

AND… everyone has different expectations for a cover, right? Like… I read a lot of literary science fiction. I’m looking for a philosophical book so when I see a SF book with a spaceship on the cover, unless it’s like… a pastel drawing of a spaceship, I’m pretty sure that’s not my kind of book, ya know? I’m not into space battles. I’m into characters. So I actually like SF books with a person on the cover. And preferably not a full-action shot with guns drawn, but a face. I like a face. And if it’s got a little computer chip in the eye, I’m definitely gonna go take a look at that one.

So a cover is nothing more than an advertisement for what’s inside. If you like to read dirty erotica you look for a guy with abs. If you like chick lit you look for a cute-sy illustration with lots of lavish typography. If you like cozy mysteries that cartoon cupcake is your cue. Right? Right? 🙂

Our books are a little bit… literary. I mean, as far as dirty books go, they are. So even though a couple is my usual go-to for a cover (and I was making the Total Exposure and Pleasure of Panic covers as I did these for us – so yeah…) I like the idea of a “high-concept” cover. A symbol, if you will. Like Christen Grey’s tie on the cover of Fifty. Or the whole crown and leaf emblem on Outlander. Something to make a book and an author stand out.

Now here’s the thing. Covers go through trends, just like fashion. One year everyone has swirly typography, the next year everyone has a giant face, the next year it’s all about black and white, then next year it’s symbols… they go in and out of fashion like shoes. Which is why I just recently updated my old Rook & Ronin Series covers. They had like ALL those trends lol! In one series!

The covers for this series were the first… disagreement… Johnathan and I had. He wanted one thing, I knew better… so we hashed that out and finally came up with the feather for book one. It’s a perfect symbol for that book. The whole series, really. For book two the shoes were… excuse the pun, a shoe-in. We didn’t have any disagreements on that at all. The one we haggled over the most was the watch for Flesh Into Fire. I love the watch, it’s HIS watch, by the way. Right off his very own wrist. And he came around about it so… bygones. 😉

So by the time we got to THIS cover for Passion Rising, we’d had these cover talks too many times, I think. It was tough though. How to convey a theme and still reach the right readers? Well, when you read this book you’ll understand how relevant our last cover is. The cologne bottle, the cuff links, the belt… all very sexy in the romance world. And perfect symbols for what this book is about. And we hope you enjoy looking at them all!

So, with out further ado… here’s the final cover for The Original Sin Series

by JA Huss and Johnathan McClain!

To celebrate the beauty that is Flesh Into Fire we have yet another cover reveal and yet another giveaway for you today!

Flesh Into Fire is the THIRD book in the Original Sin Series and will release on April 17, 2018. If you’re not familiar with what’s happening with this series yet, here’s the deal…

The Original Sin Series is a collaborate project by JA Huss and Johnathan McClain (this is our website!)  You can learn all about us HERE and watch our videos chronicling our story HERE. If you’re a member of our fan group on Facebook (Shrike Bikes) you can watch us answer all the questions in an archive of a Facebook Live Video we did last weekend at Johnathan’s house in LA as well. (If you’re not a member, why not? Just CLICK HERE, ask to join, and someone will add you as soon as they see your request!) Our group is fun, very lively, and Johnathan and I are in there everyday talking to the fans!

The series has four books total, each one a continuation of the same couple, each one a full-length novel, and each one releasing three weeks after the previous book. So all four books will release in a three-month time period like this:

Sin With Me (Book One) – Paperback, eBook, & Audio release on March 6, 2018
Angels Fall (Book Two) – Paperback & eBook release on March 27, 2018, Audio releases on April 17,2018
Flesh Into Fire (Book Three) – Paperback & eBook release on April 17, 2018, Audio releases on May 8 ,2018
Passion Rising (Book Four) – Paperback & eBook release on May 8, 2018, Audio releases on May 29 ,2018

Each book is it’s OWN STORY with an ending to the book’s main conflict/mystery, but there’s a cliffhanger to lead you into the next book. So we don’t totally leave you hanging. Each book is about 65,000-70,000 words long, which is about 280-320 pages. Each book also has an END OF BOOK SHIT by BOTH JA Huss and Johnathan McClain (You really don’t want to miss that!) And all the audiobooks are narrated by Ava Erickson and Tad Branson.

Now here’s something you might NOT KNOW… Tad Branson is ALSO Johnathan McClain! YES! He’s gonna whisper all these dirty sex scenes he wrote in the book right into your ear, ladies! And he’s an AMAZING NARRATOR. In fact, he and Ava are up for an Audie Award (think the Academy Awards for audiobooks!) for the JA Huss book, Taking Turns this year! So it’s fuckin’ awesome if you’re into audio!

So this is our cover reveal week. The first three covers have been revealed and Angels Fall also has a giveaway you can enter HERE. So click over there if you haven’t entered already! In two days we’ll release the final cover for Passion Rising and have, yes, you guessed it, another giveaway to celebrate!

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes angels fall.

Maddie doesn’t really owe drug lord, Carlos Castillo, money. So she hadn’t taken his threats seriously. Until now. He wants it, whether she owes it or not. And if she doesn’t have it in six weeks he’s gonna take her as payment instead.

Tyler would save the world if he could. That’s a fight that lasts forever. And if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s fighting. So if Maddie thinks she’s gonna deal with an insane drug lord on her own, she’s crazier than he is.

She’s got a debt she can’t pay. He’s got more money than he needs.
She’s not gonna fall for his charm. He’s gonna make sure that happens.

They’re destined to be together. Even if Maddie doesn’t know it yet.
Sometimes your soul mate isn’t who you’d choose, it’s who you need.

Good thing you don’t get to choose.
