Welcome to Big Cocks and Broomsticks Hop!



Hello Big Coks and Broomsticks Hoppers!

I am very glad to be back. I have hopped with Close Encounters before and had a great time as I hope you will. Today I would like to share book I of my African Goddess series. I call it Daughters of Mother Earth. Book I is about the goddess of the sun, Takasa and Book II her sister Luneria, goddess of the moon. 

Women who have a good man know that you have to go through a lot of bad ones and maybe even some heartache before you get what you want. I figured this was an issue even more so for the powerful women. 


Though my goddesses aren’t looking for love when they meet the men who wll become their life mates, they know the love of their life when they meet him. The goddesses are two totally different people wanting different things from the men that pursue them, but they both want to be happy in the end. 

I wanted each story to be unique and still have a hint of authenticity so I looked up a lot of African folklore to give my gods and goddesses some realism. I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I liked writing them.




Takasa, goddess of the sun, left her mountain home consumed with bitterness caused by her long endured loneliness. The elders in her tribe fed her a potion to put her to sleep for a thousand years to wait for the one who would be able to save them from her wrath. Will the goddess have met her match at that time, or will the descendant of a neighboring sun god be conquered by her fury as well?



EXCERPT:
Solarion took her small hands in his strong large ones. Guided by his hands, Takasa’s rested on Solarion’s cheek. The hair there was just as supple on the ones on his chest, covering most of his face. She traced the fullness of his sensual lips. Hanging on both sides of his face were long dark braids. Without thinking, Takasa fingered the few braids that lay on his broad shoulders. Against her better judgment, she looked into his face, meeting the golden brown eyes that smiled at her. The touch of him and the sight of his beautiful eyes seemed to ease her anger.

“All that you see is for you, my goddess. I offer you all I have and am. My mind, my body, and anything else you want or need from me already belong to you.”

He seemed to be waiting for a reply, but Takasa could give none. She was stunned by his words. Solarion lifted her gown over her head without hesitation, and his eyes feasted on her nakedness and he smiled.

“The goddess of the sun is equally beautiful in face and in body,” he stated.

In a slow motion, his hands skimmed over her heating skin. Her shoulders, arms, waist, and belly were left tingling by his tender touch. Takasa closed her eyes to further enjoy the sensations coursing through her body.

“Let me worship this beautiful body of yours so that you can take your rest in my arms. You will rule your people by day, and I will rule you at night, worshipping your body with my own. Each night you will sleep in my arms, exhausted from the love I will show your body.”

Takasa’s eyes popped open. Anger flowed through her like rushing water. As Solarion brought his mouth to hers she shoved him back with all her might.

“How dare you! What makes you think you can rule over me? I will not allow it,” she yelled. “For such insolence you will be punished.”

Takasa called forth her power, but found she was unable to grow to her monstrous size within the confines of the cave. Breathing hard with her eyes darting around, she shifted her head into that of a lioness, and the soft, dainty hands that had caressed Solarion’s face and chest were now sharp lion’s claws.

Solarion watched her change, and when she had done so, Takasa stood before Solarion, waiting for fear to appear on his handsome features. He didn’t seem impressed or fearful. He turned his back to her when the transformation was complete. Flabbergasted, she ran around him to face him again.

“You dare turn your back to me?” she growled.

Before he could answer her angry question, she launched herself at him. Anticipating her pounce, Solarion sidestepped out of the way. Takasa landed on her face on the floor before him, yelping in pain. He approached to help her, but she snatched her paw away. Scooting away from him, Takasa crouched low on all fours, preparing another attack. She roared her fury and initiated her strike. Once more Solarion moved out of the line of fire. Before she could get her bearings, she leaped into another unsuccessful attack.

“Takasa, cease your attack on me. I do not wish to restrain you,” he said in the same calming voice.

“Restrain me?” she shrieked in disbelief.

His soothing words infuriated her even more, like fire to her temper’s short fuse. Her ebony eyes flashed and she lunged forward, only to miss him again. Her fury was beyond compare. Landing face down on the bed, breathing hard, Takasa banged her paws at her sides, screaming her frustration.

She jumped to her feet, readying herself for her next attack, and then sat back down with a gasp. Solarion turned and moved toward her. As he did so, his own change began. The braids she had fingered just moments ago had become a full grown mane and his hands, massive lion’s paws. By the time he stood before her, Solarion had the head of the king of beasts and his golden eyes flashed like bright flames.

Takasa recovered from her surprise and growled again, but it was drowned out by the roar from the jungle king. She stood, thinking to charge him again, but Solarion caught her paws in his and pushed her backward. When she fell onto the bed, he pounced on top of her, pinning her in place. Stunned anew when the wind was knocked from her lungs, Takasa choked and gasped for air. She stared into his blazing eyes for a long time. When the quick rise and fall of her chest slowed, her beautiful goddess features returned.

“How...how is this possible?”

Welcome Wet and Wild Hoppers!


 


Hello Wet and Wild Hop followers!
I am Dana Littlejohn author of sensual romance. I would like to  share book 1 of my latest series, Daughters of Mother Earth, Conquering the Sun. It is the story of how Takasa, Goddess of the Sun got her man.
I have found that finding a good man to love you just the way you are was not an easy task. I figured this was an issue for most women, but even mores so for the powerful ones.
Though Takasa wasn't looking for love when she met Solarion, it’s hard not to want a man who worships and adores you. I wanted my story to be unique, but still have some authenticity. I looked up a lot of African folklore to get the right combination
I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I liked writing them. Now here is a look at a we and wild moment with Takasa and Solarion.



Takasa, goddess of the sun, left her mountain home consumed with bitterness caused by her long endured loneliness. The elders in her tribe fed her a potion to put her to sleep for a thousand years to wait for the one who would be able to save them from her wrath. Will the goddess have met her match at that time, or will the descendant of a neighboring sun god be conquered by her fury as well?

EXCERPT:
 She pushed against his hands, but couldn’t move his arms. 
“Cease this, Solarion. I don’t want it. I don’t want you.” 
He stopped kissing her immediately. “Why do you resist me? I am only here to love you. I can give you everything you need.” 
“I don’t need anything.” 
He scanned her face and his eyes widened with surprise. “You fear me.” 
“I fear nothing,” she blurted out. “I...I am the goddess of the sun. I rule all that the light controls.” 
His smile was soft and knowing. “I wish you no harm, my beautiful goddess. My only mission in life is to please you. I will be companion and mate. I merely want to be by your side while you rule.” He dropped another kiss on her neck. “And when you return here at night, your body will be mine to please and worship with all the love I have for you.” 
“Solarion—” 
His name rode a breathy gasp. He kissed her quiet. 
“Take what I am offering you. Let me love you. There is no hidden agenda and no need for you to be alone. I am here and am already yours.” 
Her breathing picked up as his kisses crossed her collarbone. Solarion’s insistent grinding made the moisture build between her legs. Takasa’s eyes closed and she stopped pushing against his arms. Solarion’s powerful legs pushed hers open as he slid down her body, searing it with kisses. She moaned, for although she enjoyed his touch, she was still torn. 
“Solarion, you must cease,” she panted in a whisper. 
“Your voice says one thing, my goddess, but your body says another. It cries out to me. It wants me. It needs me. You need me.” 
Solarion’s touch was pleasing, his voice soothing. His words comforted her, somehow. It wouldn’t be the first time she had taken a human to her bed. 
Could this handsome human really give her what she needed if she just stopped fighting him? 
Her body seemed to think so. Takasa took a deep breath and opened herself to what Solarion offered. Takasa gasped at the titillating sensation his beard left when it rubbed across her belly. He lingered there for a moment to leave butterfly kisses before he moved lower. A shiver of anticipation raced through her body when his chin grazed the sensitive skin over her pelvic bone. Solarion continued his descent, pushing his face into the downy hair between her legs without hesitation. She groaned. 
Lost in the growing ecstasy, Takasa hadn’t notice Solarion had released her hands until she reached for his head. His tongue snaked from his mouth and seared the delicate folds of skin as he lapped them. With another loud moan, she opened her legs wider, inviting him in further. Solarion took his time, licking her at first, but her groans of pleasure seemed to spur him. He slipped his hands underneath her, gripping her bottom delving into her core even more. Solarion lifted her hips from the bed and pulled her to him, feasting on her. He licked and sucked her carnal center drinking the essence pooled there.
“Oh!” 
He kneaded her bottom as he licked her most private place. Takasa’s juices flowed with her elevated excitement. Her senses were on fire. She had never experienced pleasure in the magnitude Solarion gave her. Her climax was near. She could smell it and yearned for it with all her being. Tremors of ecstasy traveled the length of her nervous system. 
Yanking at the silken covers, consecutive mews of pleasure left her chest, leaving her lungs almost empty. Her muscles tightened, locking in place, and then she exploded from within. A high pitched squeal burst from her throat, a sound she almost didn’t recognize as her own. Its intensity shook her limbs and left her throat raw. Takasa gripped a handful of Solarion’s braids, holding him place, but there was no need. He seemed to know what to do. 
Wrapping his full lips around the pulsating tip at the top of her vulva, Solarion applied a gentle sucking motion on her pleasure center. The action shot lightning rods of euphoria through her body, the aftereffects leaving her shaky and exhausted. When her blissful tremors ceased, Solarion released her and moved up her body again, leaving a trail of kisses in his wake.
“I’ve waited my whole life to be with you, Takasa. You honor me with your juices. The pearly dew of a goddess…is there any better drink? Now that I have tasted you, I desire you even more. Please! Beautiful Takasa, I beg you. Allow me to adore your body now that I am here. I need you. I want you. Don’t deny yourself what my body can do for you. Let me love you,” he pleaded. 
Takasa gasped, stunned by his reaction and dazed by the overwhelming joy her body experienced. She panted, trying to catch her breath. Her body begged her to let him have her. Every inch of her wanted him. Takasa nodded, giving in to her desires. “Yes, Solarion, yes!” 
“Yes!” he growled. Solarion positioned himself over her, adjusting his erection to poise before her drenched opening. 
Once aligned, one controlled push buried his staff inside her. Her body opened, welcoming him, and she surrendered to the increasing feelings of joy overtaking her. 
“Oh, Takasa, the feel of you is glorious. I’ve wondered…dreamed of this moment and, mmm, it was worth every minute of that wait. You are incredible!” 
Takasa’s mouth was agape, but her voice was gone. Solarion’s words increased the pleasure he gave her body, sending her mind into a lustful tailspin. He stroked her, a slow steady motion at first, and then faster and faster, bending, rolling, and arching his back, pressing himself deeper and deeper. 
She felt every inch of him sliding in and out of her, every movement better than the last. He was an amazing lover. Gentle kisses moved from her cheeks to her ear. 
“You feel magnificent, my goddess,” he whispered. “Each night when you return to your cave to rest, I will make love to you like this. It will only get better and better as we spend more time together. This is some of what I offer to you.” 
“Mmm...” Glorious! 
Takasa wrapped her legs around his narrow waist and he fell into her even more. He stroked her with strong, deliberate movements. “Oh!” 
“Your cries of fulfillment are like kisses on my soul. Give yourself to me, beautiful Takasa. I will be your treasure chest of desire. Reach inside and all you need will be given to you,” he panted. Solarion’s promise caressed Takasa’s heart with its conveyance of love. His exquisite command over her senses spoke to her body, expressing the same message to her flesh. She moaned again, clawing at his back. A low deep roar escaped him. 
“I am here to please you. That is my only function. Have your way with me,” he continued, pumping faster. 
She met his powerful thrusts with one of her own. With an unexpected groan, Solarion leaned back, and then reached behind him, hauling her legs up to rest on his shoulders. Takasa gasped, wide-eyed. 
“Solarion, what—what are you doing?” 
He smiled. “Enhancing your pleasure, my goddess.” 
With her legs up and her bottom raised high, Solarion continued pushing into her silken tunnel. The penetration was more intense and he was right. Her pleasure soared, taking her to new heights of enjoyment. Solarion delved deeper and deeper into her until Takasa let out a satisfied scream that left her chest tight and her throat sore. As her body convulsed around the hardness of his arousal, Solarion threw his head back and the lion in his soul showed itself when he let out his own release with a joyful roar.
