Welcome to another Tasty Tuesday. Today's guest is Siren author
Lynn Tyler. Lynn has a super yummy chocolate chip cookie recipe to share with us and an even tastier excerpt from her latest release,
Their Rebel Mate, the 2nd book in her Helen Universe series. Take it away, Lynn!
Thanks, Tonya!
I love cookies and these are my absolute
favorite! Don’t be afraid of the amount of chocolate chips. Trust me, the dough
to chocolate ratio is perfect. The difference in this recipe is the extra egg
yolk. It adds a silkiness that is to die for.

Chief of Communications Kerek and his mate, Ambassador Thantos are
tasked with educating humans on Helan culture. It's not an easy job considering
there is a movement dedicated to making sure that no female mates with Helan
males.
Kim McManus is determined to keep as many human women from being
forced to mate the Helan males as possible. So what if
the Helans have made mating with them voluntary? The Helans history of telling
half truths makes them suspicious in her books. Suspicious enough that she
hijacks a television signal to plead her case.
When she's given a chance
to stay on the Helan star ship for a month to learn about their culture, she
grabs it with both hands. But what happens when she ends up bonded with Thantos
and Kerek, two of the very males she's been campaigning so hard against?
Excerpt:
She tried counting sheep. Fail. She
tried picturing a serene lake. Fail. She tried some deep breathing relaxation
exercises. Epic fail.
In fact, the only thing she could see
behind her closed lids was a whole lot of golden skin, tangled limbs, and hard cocks.
What would it be like to be in bed with
so much masculinity? Her back arched at the sudden thought, and a rush of
moisture gathered to coat the folds of her pussy.
Her clit throbbed, practically begging
for attention, and the sounds of pleasure, getting increasingly louder and more
frequent, were not helping. Flopping back on the mattress, she slid her hand
down her belly until the very tips of her fingers rested just above her mound.
Did she dare?
“Kerek!” Thantos cried out for his
lover, and Kim threw caution to the wind.
Fuck it. It wasn’t not like they
were going to hear her own soft gasps through the noise Thantos was making. As
if it had a mind of its own, Kim’s hand slipped the rest of the way down, and
her index finger brushed over her straining clit.
A groan worked its way up her throat,
and she applied even more pressure to the swollen little nub. Dear god, nothing
had ever felt so good before. Not even her favorite purple vibrator on its
highest setting gave her half as much pleasure as her single finger.
Was it something in the water? Okay,
cancel that. She hadn’t had any water to drink. Something in the food then?
Whatever. All that really mattered was
getting off right now.
Her pleasure ratcheted up higher, and
she sped up the movements of her finger, stroking her clit in small, concentric
circles in her effort to relieve some of the pressure that was building up
inside her.
She groaned again, partly from pleasure
and partly from frustration. None of the usual tricks were working, and her heart
was racing faster than normal. Was it possible that her heart could beat fast
enough to pound right out of her chest? God, she hoped her rib cage was strong
enough to contain her heart because she was pretty sure her heart was about to
explode.
“What the devil is going on here?” Kerek
roared, breaking her out of the trance she had been in.
She jerked her hand back and blushed to
the roots of her hair. “What are you doing out here?” she asked, pushing
herself up and out of the bed so fast, she almost toppled over.
Kerek’s chest was pumping as he
breathed, his huge cock pulsing rhythmically. “What have you done to Thantos?”
he shouted, advancing on her with rage in his eyes.
“I have no idea what you’re talking
about,” she shouted right back.
Now that the bedroom door was open, Kim
could hear Thantos’s desperate whimpers. “What are you doing to him?” she
demanded, storming over to the door and peeking around Kerek’s massive body.
The sight that met her eyes took her
breath away.
Thantos’s wrists were trapped by some
sort of cuffs, which were attached to a ring in the wall. His head was tossing
on the pillow, his long red hair spread out dramatically on the crisp white
sheets.
Her eyes travelled farther down
Thantos’s body, taking in the nipple clamps that seemed to be vibrating, and
the black plug his spread, bent legs displayed.
His dick was leaking steadily, and if
the pool of fluid collecting on his lower belly was any indication, it had been
for some time now.
The expression on Thantos’s face was far
from serene. He looked tormented. “Help him,” she said, rushing over to him.
“What the fuck do you think I’ve been
trying to do?” Kerek bellowed. “I’ve been trying to relieve some of his need,
but he can’t orgasm. Why is that?”
She would have shrugged, but Thantos’s
earlier words came back to her. Helan
mates are highly sexual and feel the need to orgasm several times a day. Bonded
mates can’t find satisfaction without their mate. “He needs you to come
before he can, right?”
Kerek blew out a sigh that sounded like
pure frustration. “Yes, but the kicker is I need him to come as well. Bonded
mates tend to have simultaneous orgasms.”
She failed to understand the problem.
Kerek was hard as a rock, and the head of his dick was shiny with his own
pre-cum. He looked like a single firm stroke could send him flying. “So just
let go and come. He’ll follow you right over.”
“Shit, you just aren’t getting it.”
Kerek ran both of his hands through his hair. At least he didn’t seem quite so
enraged. “I saw what you were doing. You looked just as unsuccessful at finding
your release as well. Somehow, I think you and Thantos have started to bond.”
No, that couldn’t be right. Except when
she thought about it, she had realized that there was absolutely nothing she
could have done to force her orgasm. Even now, despite her confrontation with
Kerek and her confusion over what was going on, she was still as aroused as
ever. More, even.
Crap. “What are we going to do about
this?”
Thantos cried out, his cock jerking
wildly, and he hitched his hips. The wave of pleasure rocketing through her,
completely in time with Thantos’s distress, robbed her of any ability to think.
It was so strong, she had to grab on to something solid to keep herself
upright.
Her palms met skin, and she briefly understood
that she was clinging Kerek’s arm before another wave of pleasure threatened to
wash her away.
The need was too much, and it was so far
past eager anticipation that she was very nearly in pain. Poor Thantos looked
like he was about to die if he didn’t find his release soon.
A third wave of need buffeted against
her, and she was vaguely aware that Kerek’s knees buckled under the onslaught.
“You are going to join us and give Thantos the relief he needs.”
She was barely on her feet, relying
completely on Kerek to keep her upright, and he was barely able to support
himself, let alone her. A tiny part of her brain, way in the very back,
screamed at her that if she went along with this, there would be no going back.
Something massive was about to go down, something that was about to change her
life forever.
