BLACK CAT CARTOON ~ The Original Black Cat No.3 ~ Black Cat in the Wild, Wild West! Black Cat battles her most horrible enemy “HIM”! ~ Stories also include 'Oil Well Menace!' and 'The Salem Witch!', ~ Art by Lee Elias and Joe Kubert. Cover by Richard Rockwell. ~ Black and white interior. Number Three of Ten Issues
My *All Hallow’s Eve* Kittens... all cozy and safe now? With all your treats? Last night, when the waning moon settled on the western horizon, it was the most perfect shade of brightly glowing Halloween Orange... the Kougar simply stared in wonderment... two days earlier, as the full moon, Luna Belle, shone magnificently orange, also. Does this signify an extra paranormal Halloween this year?
Sunset, oh, the Samhain sunset, my KitKats, it washed a huge portion of the sky with golden yellow brilliance and there was a delicious pale orange along the panoramic horizon itself.
The Kougaress has the sense that the paranormal door is opening wide for the world, for all of us, in general. Be on the lookout!~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 308 ~Sylva twined her arms around her cowboy husband’s strong neck. The gradual lunge of his cock inside her felt like a new sensual version of heaven and she basked in his obvious restraint with her. “Sylva, darlin’,” he rasped. “This stud is all yours.” Nearly mindless with a luminous-feeling rapture as he continued his languorous strikes, Sylva whispered, “Thank you. Thank you for this slow ride, cowboy.” Opening her thighs wider, she slightly thrust her pussy to his incredible cock. “Take more of what you want, stud.” Groaning as if suddenly freed, he quickened his thrusts, then kissed her fiercely.
Zeke claimed his woman’s mouth while his needy heavy cock claimed her slick blazing sheath. God above, his wife was perfect for his mounting pleasure. The tilt of her full silken hips, the soft curves of her inner thighs holding him, and the way her arms clung as he drove his cock in and out of her. The way she fused her lips with his, a passionate enthusiasm that made his roaring blood feel like the desert sun at noon. Damn, even as his zenith hit, his carnal yearning remained as savage as the storm that continued to rage outside.

Just for the future-loving Big Cats ~ a scene the Kougar penned for last Halloween ~First Halloween after Winter 2012HALLOWEEN DAY, 2013 ~ after Winter 2012 in WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS
SEDONA & VOLCANO’S FIRST HALLOWEEN“Wicked guano stench, cherub. Thanks for saving us so fast.” Sedona smiled.
Volcano swept his arm in a large arc, creating their translucent sphere of protection deep inside the artificially designed cavern, part of an ancient underground travelway. The huge colony of bats, survivors of Montana’s ecological catastrophes, were in the first stage of hibernation. With her enhanced hearing, Sedona listened to their high-pitched frequency conversation about their sudden arrival, and the bats’ group decision to ignore them.
Protectively, she held Aru, their baby dog, in her arms. Even he had been worn out by their brutally long day of avoiding the constant attacks of their shadow-elite enemies. Aru’s eyes squinched closed in a light doze, as Volcano retrieved his sleep pillow from the superspeed cycle’s compartment. He tossed it close to the center of their sphere, his gaze running over them protectively.
Before placing Aru on his pillow, Sedona kissed the top of his silky fur head. Settling quickly, Aru curled up, his eyes blinking shut within moments. Volcano wrapped his arm around her waist, drawing her close, and for a few moments they stood companionably, gazing down at Aru like doting parents.
“How are you?” Volcano’s velvet tone tingled her ear, and sizzled her insides. Seductively, he handled her bottom, causing her mound to throb with sex-hot desires.
“I don’t know,” she whispered. Turning inside his embrace, she slid her palms over his chest, caressing. “That smell as we entered, alone, could have given me a Halloween nightmare. Not to mention recalling all those vampire bat scenes. Too bad we can’t loose them on the hordes of evil following us.”
“We could, precious woman.”
“I know. It’s not divinely kosher.” Sedona looped her arms around his neck, luxuriating in the feel of his muscle-carved body. “Mmmm, I love the way my breasts feel against your chest, carnal cherub.”
“I’ll make them feel even better once we arrive at the cabin.” His promise, spoken in black velvet, seared through her decadently.
“I know you will,” she whispered, hearing the moan in her voice.
Volcano nuzzled her lips with his, and they kissed sumptuously, their passions rising as fast as a fueled bonfire.
Once their lips reluctantly parted, and with her breath in short supply, Sedona murmured his angelic name. Yet, she didn’t speak the tiny threads of love smoldering in her heart. She knew he heard them like harp strings, by the way he held her molded against him.
“We’re surrounded by psi spies, my Sedona. I have to remain awake, undistracted.”
“Undistracted?” She raised a brow. “What a Halloween disappointment. I was looking forward to pretending you were Dracula in desperate need of my blood essence and my virgin-helpless body.”
“I’m much more desperate than the blood-tasting lusts of Dracula, my beautiful one.” Slowly, he stroked over the long length of her hair. “Your neck belongs to me,” he badly imitated a campy version of Count Dracula.
“Count Chocula.” Sedona chuckled.
“Count Chocula?”
“That’s who you sound like. Count Chocula in the old cereal commercial. It was a chocolate-tasting cereal for kids.”
“You dare amuse yourself at the expense of the great and masterful Count Chocula, who, even now, bakes himself with superior chocolate flavor, just for you and your delectable-tasting sinful pleasures.”
Sedona giggled as his splayed hands enjoyed the roundness of her butt. “Does that mean you’re going to taste like chocolate when I am allowed to ‘sinfully’ lick and ravish your incredibly hard, incredibly sexy body?”
“If you let me taste your naughty wet curls first.” His gaze smoldered, flushing her insides to a sweet fierce heat. Only for him.
“Distraction,” she murmured.
“Yes,” he agreed, and gently released her. Holding her hand, he seated himself next to Aru’s pillow. Tenderly, he drew her down so she sat within the cradle of his body, her back to him.
Sedona vibrated with the strength of his protection for her, as if an ethereal song played inside her body. She should be accustomed to his care by now. Yet, she doubted she ever would be. Wearier than she realized, she leaned her head back on the hunky wall of his chest, and closed her eyes, hoping...
An instant later, her eyes snapped back open, and her adrenalin spiked. “I swear she must be a reincarnation of the Wicked Witch of the West. Even if that was a fictional character.”
Immediately, Volcano hugged her closer, and Sedona snuggled more deeply into his embrace. She intimately covered his hands with hers. Still, she shivered violently, remembering her recent encounter with the Nazerazzi woman, a top operative, determined to capture her or destroy her. The fact, that the ‘Wicked Witch’ still possessed some manner of psychic connection with her was more than disturbing.
“I’ll make her vanish like a fake ghost once the immediate danger is passed. Talk with me awhile, precious woman.”
“Fake ghost? Do you mean everyone wearing white sheets?”
“No. Pretend ghosts at Halloween parties. Fog machines. Mother talked about them.”
“Oh, I guess that does make sense, handsome heavenly one.”
“Your first Halloween costume?” He purred the words near her ear.
“You always know how to keep me awake and talking. Hmmm...let me see...spin some gray matter...take a trip back in time...” Sedona settled her head more comfortably against his chest. “It wasn’t the first one, probably. But it is the first one I remember. And it was before kindergarten. Mom made us three girls pajama footie costumes from a pattern.”
“Footie?”
“Sort of like tights. But these were sewn from flannel. They were winter pajamas.”
“Winter pajamas? I don’t understand.”
“We wore them to bed after Halloween. It was a more practical time, the middle 50's. But they were also a costume. I was the black cat. I remember loving that costume, especially my tail and my ears, but I was envious of the tiger and lion costumes my other two sisters got.”
“Meow,” he darkly whispered. “My own black cat woman for Halloween.”
“In flannel pajamas?” she drily teased.
“Batman eat your heart out.”
“Plenty of bats in here. Batman could be in disguise just waiting to swoop down. Okay, more like a bloodthirsty move Dracula would make.”
“I’ve got better wings. Better than Batman or any vampire bat,” he reminded, his voice utter passion.
“Ooooh, you do. Black gorgeous sexy wings.” Sedona shuddered with desire, remembering their celestial lovemaking.
“I want my black cat woman,” he growled possessively.
“Don’t you dare read my mind and create those black cat pajamas. I’m not wearing them for you.”
“Yes, you will.”
“No, I won’t.”
“You’ll be my black cat beauty.”
“Hiss and grrrr...I’ll claw you to divine particles, cherub.”
“I’ll make you beg and mew for my tricks and my treats,” he promised in a dark purr.
“I’m not begging. Or mewing. What? Have you turned from angel to demon for Halloween?”
“Did I forget to tell you?” His voice unmercifully teased. “For this one night, the whole fabric of Earth turns inside out, and, yes, I transform into your demon lover.”
Despite herself, Sedona wantonly trembled inside. “More than you already are?” she whispered, her heart rate frenzied and soaring.
“Especially, if you wear black cat flannel pajamas,” he sinfully tempted.
“You won’t even let me wear a flannel nightgown, you bad cherub.”
“You’ve forgotten the rules, my Sedona. If you wear a flannel nightgown, I get to rip it off. Have my wicked way with you.”
Sedona twisted inside with raw passion. “Trick, and no treat for you. Or me. Since we’re here. Deep in bat do-do. It’s closing in on midnight. And the psi spies are still hunting us.”
“Before dawn, my queen of the angels, I’ll make you fly. Next Halloween, black cat pajamas, and I’m your demon lover.”

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 307 ~Sylva decided she’d turned into a sun goddess. She felt like a seduced goddess and ecstasy poured through her, blazed her like the sun. “Zeke, please... kiss my mouth, then take me with that branding cock of yours.” Instead of seizing her mouth with his lips, he gripped her other nipple and drew on the aching flesh as if he drank her very essence. Sylva swelled inside with love. It rivaled the passion that owned every atom of her. The suddenness of her love frightened Sylva. As if he knew, her cowboy fondled her other nipple-teased breast, igniting her higher.
Zeke kindled his woman back to mindless desire for him. The soft yielding of her breasts, of her entire body had subtly altered. Something spooked her. A new bride was likely to feel jittery and especially since his Sylva had arrived from another Earth. Raising above her, Zeke leaned on his fists. Capturing her mouth, he deeply kissed his woman. Their tongues tangled intimately, hungrily. Their souls merged, even as they craved to satiate the lusting appetites of their bodies. Her thighs winged open, a gentle movement. Zeke plunged inside her pussy, an agonizingly slow lunge that tested his prowess.

Have a Wonderful and Wild Halloween...
May your most romantic dreams come true...A witchy kiss and wink from the Kougar...
Painting by Russel Mobley ~ russelmobley.com
Just for the Big Cool Cats ~ from the Kougar’s WIP, first presented last Halloween and revised again... spooky meows ~The Arrival
“Beware, the Bloodsuckers,” Kristyn dramatically intoned . The latest news about Wall Street’s plunge straight toward hell streamed across the top of her computer’s monitor. On the TV, in the background, Conan O’brien posed, shook his red hair like a rooster on steroids, and paraded for the approving squawk of his audience.
Once the website had fully loaded, Kristyn, middle-aged unpublished writer, blinked in sheer disbelief as she read and clicked. Leaning forward, she stared closer at her 19" screen. Not only with disbelief. A rabid curiosity seized her. The ink-black and blood-red, graphic-impressive site all about vampyres was definitely a spooky thrill, and highly informative, and had certainly aided her research for the erotic romance story she’d just started. But...omygawd...
“Can’t be real,” she muttered. Hunching forward, a bad habit, Kristyn squinted her eyes as she often did, since she was near-sighted. And her eyeglasses only caused dizziness. “Stranger than fiction,” she muttered again, amusing herself as she re-read the advertisement written in old-fashioned font on a parchment scroll. “There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of...Shakespeare,” she murmured.
Eagerly desired: Those humans who wish to be cherished
while performing the invaluable service of feeding our visiting
galactic brethren, the Translexion Vampyres, who arrive to
battle the gathered Dark Forces, and also arrive to assist us
in bringing forth the enlightened progress of Earth.
May It Be Blessed So
Shaking her head slightly, she read over the advertisement once again – scrutinizing for anything that could tell her if this was a hoax, just for scary fun – or for real. Bizarre real. An avid listener to Coast-to-Coast AM, Kristyn had studied paranormal subjects and the metaphysical most of her life. She kept an open mind to any possibility, no matter how weird or far-out – part of her nature ever since she could recall. Besides, she had her own tried and true intuitive abilities.
Nothing with vampyres though. She wasn’t into the whole Hollywood bloodsucker horror thing. Although, a gory red-running feed on the golden parachute CEO’s, and on the spa-luxuriating executives who’d just been bailed out by the tax payer...well, there was a movie she’d cheer for, and watch.
Suddenly something sizzled in the pit of her stomach.
“Wow,” Kristyn whispered. Sitting back a bit, she blinked several times and wondered how many ‘humans’ had bitten, then been bitten – ha, ha. How many had already decided to be ‘cherished’. Only those who liked vampire dress-up, got off on blood drinking – obsessed over the whole tall, dark and vamp mystique thing?
“Maybe it’s just a publicity stunt for some upcoming movie project.”
Scrolling down, she read the cautionary warning.
Be fairly warned. Those humans who chose this path
will have chosen a journey that cannot be undone.
Search your soul, your heart, your mind and spirit,
dearest one. Think from the deepest recesses of your being –
if this journey belongs to you. Before you speak these
ancient upon ancient words. Before you promise yourself
in the service of this sacred binding spell.
Tingling eerily, Kristyn slowly read the words of the spell, that if spoken aloud would bind one in service agreement to a Translexion Vampyre. However they were different from home-grown Earth vampyres? She shrugged. She certainly had no clue.
“It’s in english, how ‘real’ can it be?” she muttered to herself. Should she speak the words out loud? Her perverse wild streak duked it out with her ultra-careful wary side.
More eeriness shivered through her. Last evening’s vivid scene played in her mind. When the hellishness of her life had, once again, overcome her. And she’d insanely shouted – she might as well let a vampire suck her blood, kill her – words she’d never spoken before, never even thought of before. She’d morosely included that if a guillotine was close by, she’d use it. Since a fast falling slice of a blade had to be a fairly quick death.
At the time, she’d meant her words.
After her desperate explosion against the terrible hell of her life, she’d considered how odd it was, she’d yelled about feeding a vampire – given she was the scream or faint-at-the-sight of gushing blood kind of woman. In the past the very thought of being fed on was abhorrent, icky, nauseating... ye, totally disgusting.
Except, she’d been researching romance novel vampire heroes – and then there was the whole Buffy and Angel thing. That fantasy was just too good, too wickedly enticing.
Locking her fingers, Kristyn stretched upwards. She kept her gaze focused on the ‘sacred spell’. Releasing the long stretch, she sighed down to her worn-out soul. Truth-to-tell, she was tired of thinking ‘anything’ and ‘everything’ through to the nth degree in her life. Tired down to her fifty-something bones.
She spoke the spell. Even added a dramatic flourish.
She waited. Silently.
Nothing.
On the television screen, the former Captain Kirk entertained a squeamish Conan with reality, how he collected stud sperm. And life, the dull hellish horror it was, moved forward...unceasing in its torture.
Summoning up Coast-to-Coast AM on internet streamlink, she turned off the tv, then continued her non-existent writing career.
Arrival..., the webmail was titled. Yielding to her curiosity, she clicked open, though usually most webmail moved straight into the cyber wastebasket.
Your journey on beloved Earth begins anew, our dear one. Who you seek in sacred incantation, the Vampyre you have summoned, arrives...
“Too creepy,” she murmured. Shivers began, rapidly escalating to nasty goose bumps.
To most you may be one person, to me you are my cherished world.
The masculine whisper invaded her mind and Kristyn felt shrouded in deepest darkest shadow.
II
Not moving, holding her breath, Kristyn waited, half-expecting her lights to flicker off, and her computer screen to die. Then, she’d be left in total darkness, at the mercy of...a vampire? Her stomach tightened painfully. What the hell now?
Do not be afraid, I await you now.
Stalker, she thought instantly. Was someone just outside her window? The blood pounded in her ears, a roaring empty sound. Unlikely, since she was out in the middle of cattle country. Still, psychos could be anywhere at anytime. And this was precisely why she never watched horror movies. Fear stabbed you in the heart way before the knife plunged repeatedly into the terrorized victim’s chest.
‘Do not be afraid’, how insane was that? Kristyn quaked inside at the thought of what she would hear next, and from the words she’d already heard. They’d been oddly powerful, definitely unique. And poetic. Yes, she had heard them from whoever, or whatever. That she didn’t doubt. Whether it was someone outside her window, whether it was actual telepathy, or if the government spooks were playing cruel Halloween games, using their cell tower thought-implanting technology...whichever, she didn’t know.
The real eeriness, the one haunting her down to her bones, was how similar the words were to the ones she’d seen on the Vampire website.
Clicking the mute button on the media player, she focused on listening, while cold shivers chased each other up and down her spine. Waiting, she heard only the loud whoosh of her own breath as she released it, then the fast drumming beat of her heart. Weapons, she needed a weapon.
Too bad she’d never ordered that cattle prod. And she didn’t have a gun. Not that a cattle prod or a gun actually worked to stop a vampire. Wooden stake...maybe, there was on out in the old barn. Silver bullet...yeah, in this bad economy silver was too damn scarce for bullets. Garlic...the organic garlic powder out in the kitchen. But, what did she do? Sprinkle it on him? Before he took that first bite out of her neck?
Suddenly, the shrill yip-yip of hunting coyotes burst into the silence, coming from the north pasture behind her. As the pack moved closer, closing in on what they hunted, probably an unlucky rabbit, the sharp wild barks escalated. Her nerves rattled to an unbearable pitch and she shook her head, trying to calm herself.
Rising slowly, silently, and half-frozen with fear, Krystin moved toward the window. Willing her hand not to shake, she finally pulled back the makeshift curtain. Not looking out, she listened to the chase sounds of the coyotes gradually fade, then cease altogether.
I await you in the full light of the blazing orange moon. Come to me, Kristyn.
Where? Her mind asked the question sarcastically, before any common sense had kicked in. Shut up, she told herself, then peeked out the window like a certified idiot. It was the wrong window to see anything. Sure, like she was going to go back and look out the bathroom window, where the nearly full moon’s brightness lit up the pasture.
Hell, how damn hard was her heart pounding? Her chest hurt. “That’s all I need, is a heart attack,” she whispered. “Well, hell, if I die, he can bring me back to being undead.”
For a moment of relief, Kristyn attempted to smile, to be amused by her own dry humor. She failed.
Come to me, my treasured woman. I stand near your double doors. I await your beauty.
You have a big wait. I am not beautiful.
Stunned by the thought she might be mind-talking with Someone, she dropped the curtain, and spun around. That’s when it struck. A lightning bolt out of the blue. Or, in her case, a bolt out the star-sprinkled black sky. Because suddenly, she battled the terrible urge to head back to her bedroom, walk to the back doors, open them...
Stop it! she ordered herself. Damn, I feel like Jello.
Oh yeah, calling 911 would work now, she told herself. Great idea. Sure. If she was actually mind-speaking with a Svengali-like vampire...if he was bloodthirsty, it would be all over, including the screaming shouts before anyone arrived.
Damn! My heart feels like it’s stuck in my throat.
I promise our first bite together will not be painful, my Kristyn. Come to me. You will not regret your choice.
Like I would trust a vampire....if you are a vampire.
I am your Vampire, my beauteous Kristyn.
Leave, she commanded. Why not? God, she prayed, ‘a little help here. No, a lot of help!
I have arrived for you, my Kristyn. Let the moonlight bless our union.
She froze inside. Yet her feet were still moving, since a strange compulsion used her bloodstream like a race track. Antifreeze, I need antifreeze to escape, she thought. Only it’s poisonous. Archangel Michael, protection here, please.
Her entire body continued moving, despite her repeated orders to stop.
III
I don’t want moonlight, she desperately spoke in her mind.
Open the door, Krystin. I await you. I await our life together.
Life? Aren’t you undead? God, help her, she was talking to a vampire, real or not. How insane was that? Even if she did believe in the possibility, even if she felt utterly possessed, with a terrible compulsion to open her back door, and step out beneath the moon. Unable to control herself, Krystin gripped the knob, and turned. Oh, God, no.
Yes, Kristyn. Come kiss me in the moonlight.
Resisting, she clenched her teeth, then concentrated on halting her hand from fully twisting the knob. Sensations like a stormwind swept through her flesh. She opened the door.
“God, no,” she whispered. Before moving outside, Krystin stared into the night’s darkness. Nothing seemed amiss. Moonbeams bathed the trees close to her, and made the pasture beyond them, appear luminous.
After several moments, she heaved in a large breath. The next instant, she heard rustling. Slowly, with fear razoring through her belly, she looked. Her heart hitched to a painful halt, then pounded so rapidly she wondered that she didn’t just topple over.
Across her large yard, a man stood like a silhouette. Tall, with an appearance of elegance, he waited on the edge of her gravel drive. The ends of his long hair slightly stirred in the gentle gusts of wind. His cape, which ended at mid-calf, also billowed slightly.
Krystin felt the urge to blink, yet her eyelids seemed to be stuck wide open, as if controlled by a supernatural force.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 306 ~Sylva shuddered as Zeke’s lips claimed her rigid nipple. Flames licked through her, intensifying each time he gently tugged. With tender strokes he took possession of her other breast. Bathed in sensations of a wanton bliss, Sylva realized that she fell in love with her cowboy’s ability to take her with a slow hand. “That’s it, darlin’,” he purred close to her wet nipple, his breath a sensuous scorch. “Let me have that gorgeous body of yours.” Damn, like she could do anything else. Aware her nails were embedded in his shoulder, Sylva asked, “Oh no, am I hurting you?”
Zeke sensed the surrender of his Sylva like a stud who knew a mare wanted his breedin’ in the worst way. He continued caressing her breast, the feel of her so beautiful to him it was as if he touched something sacred. She was sacred, his woman, his bride. His lips craved the tight bud her nipple had become and he sucked, his lips slow-dancing with her carnal flesh. She whimpered, a tiny sound that let him know how much he pleasured her, as did the unceasing stab of her nails. Zeke controlled the demanding fierceness of his cock, suckling.

May your most romantic dreams come true...Almost Vampyre kissed from the Kougar...
Tail-tempted by the mysterious vamp...
Oh, my adorable Halloween KitKats, if ghost stories are your thing, race on over to the HAPPILY EVER AFTER blog and read Bekki’s *real* ghost stories. Here’s the opening ~Bekki Lynn ~ Living with GhostsI love Halloween. All the movies, good and bad, fill the cable networks. I’ve been watching SyFy and Chiller for the most part. I love vampires, werewolves and the apparitions. The absurdly stupid, the insanely gory – I love the breath-holding, the heart-pounding terror, the jumpiness.
~~~~~~
Talk about the resurrection of the golden calf of biblical fame and times... the Kougar thought she might purchase what’s called 90% dimes, or 90% silver, since that’s all she might be able to afford, and saw this article from Midas Resources News ~ http://gcnlive.com ~ this is the beginning only ~How High Could Gold Go?The world is currently in the midst of a bull market in precious metals. Gold has been in a bull market in US$ terms since at least 2001 (as has silver). Even better, this bull has not been limited to the U.S., but is present in all major world currencies, and seems likely to continue for some time. The reasons are manifold: Currency debasement, Economic uncertainty, Decreased mine supply, Central Bank net buying, Geopolitical concerns.~~~~~~

And, at The Romance Studio’s Halloween blog, the Kougar will be posting improved versions of ~ From the Halloween Adventures of Black Cat Beauty AND her Sunday Flash Fiction ~ The Graveyard Dragger, which has been turned into a 1,000 word flash.
~~~
Some choice yowls for EBOOK/BOOK STEALERS ~Yeppers, stuff some cayenne peppers you know where... those nasty EBOOK STEALERS are at it hot and breathing heavy by downloading the published, copyrighted books of romance authors/erotic romance authors. Actually, they’re violating copyrights right and left on every kind of media.
These poor souls... because you have to be poor of soul and spirit to actually believe the drivel they are espousing, in general (see below)... don’t have a clue about what real freedom is. Nor, do they understand the real responsibilities of freedom.
Yep, give ‘em a bad case of strep, they stand on their ‘holier than thou’ soapboxes to give the rest of us lessons on how we’re supposed to act as human beings. The sad part is, there are individuals who will actually buy into this infantile belief, and think they are serving humanity, instead knowing the truth, that this sort of crap intellectualism is, and will make all of our lives on beloved Mother Earth, worse, not better.
This is the comment moi made on SIREN-BOOKSTRAND’s private yahoo loop.
Gee, I guess my freedom, MY BASIC RIGHT, to make a living doesn't count, or is simply unacceptable in *their so-called free society*.
Comment in regards to the idiocy below ~
*** "This server is located in countries that don't have working analogue of U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Protection Act (DMCPA), which prohibits indirect assistance in circumvention of copyright protection. We find that DMCPA brutally infringes upon basic human rights such as freedom of speech, sets back the scientific progress and therefore is unacceptable in a free society." ***

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 305 ~Sylva gripped her cowboy’s bare shoulder hard as he planted sumptuous kisses up her hip and around her mound. A languorous, yet fierce pleasure ripped up her body steadily.’Oh, Zeke,” she murmured, as he swept caresses on the thigh he hadn’t kissed. Part of her wanted to writhe her pleasure, yet she remained still and mesmerized by how he touched her, how his lips made her feel. Patiently, he placed kisses over the swell of her belly and stroked her hip with demanding tenderness. Sylva squeezed her eyelids together tightly as he moved upwards, his mouth utterly seductive.
Zeke burned with the sweet sexy pleasures of his wife beneath his lips. Her skin and her shape were his treasures. Teasing the side of her breast with circling strokes of his hand, he slowly kissed between her luscious breasts. She moaned, then didn’t stop, sensual keening sounds that heightened his carnal need for her. Zeke grazed the inner swell of her breast with his nose, rubbing for a moment, then placed kisses on the soft firm roundness of her breast. “Oh, god,” she whispered. Her fingers dug into his shoulder, pleasing him, and at the same time, teasing him.

May your most romantic dreams come true...Halloween ghost-mist kiss from the Kougar...
Oops, my spook-tabulous Big Cats, the Kougar forgot to mention she posted at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS, her Tuesday blog. Here’s the beginning ~Sable's Halloween Adventure and The Graveyard DaggerFirst ~ From the Halloween Adventures of Black Cat BeautyRelishing the chance to be in her black cat form, Sable crouched low on her belly, the wet cool leaves of autumn barely noticed. Pricking her ears she listened to the hayride wagon’s approach. She ignored the piercing rumble of the tractor engine, concentrating on the one wheel that softly creaked.
Anticipation and impatience twitched the tip of her tail. ~~~
Meowsers, last night on Coast to Coast am, another synchronicity occurred. The song lyric ~ Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you ~ played. Part of that lyric is in my latest WIP, Kandy Apple for Halloween... okay, a tail twitch or two, it is that freak-tacular time year.~~~
Also, moi added more to her flash ~ The Graveyard Dagger and will be featuring it at THE ROMANCE STUDIO Halloween blog.~~~
Wednesday, October 28 ~ it’s the Kougar’s Halloween blog for HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
~~~
Meow, the next and TWENTIETH chapter of CURSES will be up on Wednesday, October 28th, for the Dorchester/Textnovel contest. *This is the last chapter for the contest.*
CURSES WERE STRANGE BEASTS
~ Chronicles of an Earth-bound Goddess ~CHAPTER TWENTY ~ You, Babe, You’re the Fire“Enough said, Captain, I’ll sniff out the money trail. See where it leads.” Dalton turned toward the door, his sideways glance noting his ex-boss’s assumption that he was on board. “Yeah, I’ll Cherry pick. Or pick up Cherry on the evidence. She’s yours if she aims a weapon at my belly button.”
“Good man, Vryker,” the Captain dismissed, then moved to open his door.
It’s your money trail I’ll being bloodhound-ing first. Captain. Dalton listened to the closing click of the door that told him something ate at his ex-boss’s guts.
Grabbing his brief case off the top of Carol’s small refrigerator, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. She was still sitting where he’d placed her. If she hadn’t been he’d be tracking her down like an obsessed bloodhound.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 304 ~Sylva thrilled at how she affected her cowboy. He seemed to want control of their lovemaking and that was more than fine with her, especially since she was so tired. “Yep, a song, darlin’,” he answered, momentarily lifting his mouth from the side of her thigh. For the sheer sensual pleasure of it, Sylva molded his shoulder with her palm, stroking him. “Oooo... those are good blisters. More please.” Sylva reveled in the feel of his trailing kisses. Tenderly and languidly, he pressed his lips on top of her thigh, moving upwards, while his hand seductively stroked her lower leg.
Zeke tasted the heated sweetness of his wife’s skin. Her encouraging words and the hot blooming fragrance of her pussy had him ready to strike inside her. His cock throbbed at a fast gallop, wanting her. At the same time, handling her in this manner was a pleasure Zeke wanted for himself. Savoring the shape of her calf with his hand, he shifted his weight and kissed the sweet little indentation where her thigh met her hip. She moaned, threading her fingers in his hair briefly, then caressing the back of his neck. “Zeke,” she whimpered. “Please, keep kissing me.”

Yep, the Kougar had to do it. For the healing sake of her leg, she purchased an Acer Aspire online. It should arrive within a few days. Sitting at her desk for long hours has not been conducive to overall healing.
Course, moi, has very little idea about the real capabilities of the Acer, other than it has XP, which means she can pen her stories, and it should be compatible with her desktop.~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS today ~Dancing With Danger
by Desiree Holt
Ellora's Cave 2009
Rachel Windsor knew nothing about Gabriel Peralta except that he was walking sex appeal. He blew into her life without notice, here today then always gone on a puff of wind. But each time he appears, he does things to her body that even her fantasies haven’t conjured up, driving her to orgasms that shake her like a raging storm. His mouth knows every inch of her body. The imprint of his intimate kisses linger long after he disappears.
Now he’s back again, his life unexpectedly on the line. But even in the danger zone his sexual demands are more scorching than ever and this time, Rachel is determined not to lose him—or the erotic lifestyle that binds them.~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 303 ~Sylva drifted toward sleep, unable to stay awake. The feel of her husband’s weight on the bed had her waking up, her eyelids fluttering open. “No, don’t move, darlin’,” he softly purred. Gently, he slid one arm beneath her and scooped her close. “My goodness, you’re packing some heat, cowboy,” she crooned. “I think my thigh just might be blistered.” He nuzzled the side of her face, causing ripples of desire to cascade through her. “Mmmm... I better check. If need be, I’ll kiss all the blisters away.” Sylva trembled at the mere thought of Zeke ‘kissing away her blisters’.
Zeke propped himself on one elbow, then began a slow trail of kisses down her warm silken arm. “I dunno, cowboy, those lips of yours are searing. You might do more harm than good,” she teased, her voice sleepy and sultry. Zeke pressed his lips on her delicate wrist. Pausing, he rasped, “Next time I’ll remember the ice. This time you’ll have to tell me if it’s too darn hot.” She giggled a sexy invitation. “Too darn hot... is that a song here, too?” Zeke kissed the voluptuous curve of her thigh. His entire body steamed and his cock jerked.

Have a Wonderful and Wild Halloween...
May your most romantic dreams come true...Seven spooktacular smooches from the Kougar...
Pic from artist, Ashley Wood (from his book "Popbot"). ~ http://jeremiahwishon.com ~
Good and glittering-eye Big Kittens all, Halloween creeps closer... a storm moved in during the late morning hours. It’s been a long rainy day on the tame prairie and moi tried sleeping in, hoping for a more rapid recovery with her healing leg. Only time will tell.~~~
Cemeteries ruled Flash Fiction Sunday at the Liquid Silver SEx blog. Yep, oh fierce and mighty Kittens, it was the Day of the Dead flash ~ hosted by Hortense Powdermaker ~ “Yes, the Day of the Dead is upon us – next week. November 1st and 2nd are festival days traditionally celebrated in Mexico to honor the dead.”Here’s the Kougar’s sort of a flash...
The Graveyard Dagger ~The dagger, I must find my family’s ancient dagger or watch everyone I care for perish, die gruesomely at the hands of an old human-like breed recently loosed from their containment in a deep underground cavern. To live, these creatures with pearl-pale skin tinted by gray, with eyes that can glow blood-red, feed on the blood of my kinsmen. No, not with fangs like a vampire. They slice open a vein and drink greedily from the scarlet fountain or let it fill their strange ornate chalices.
How do I know this? I’m a Seer. I watched it happen in my visions while I silently screamed in horror. Days later, the bodies of the victims were found, drained of all blood. They were my relatives across the pond, who live on the Emerald Ilse.
Buffeting winds knife through me and I clutch my coat tighter as I walk quickly up the long rise of ground. With winter around the corner, the grass has browned in our family’s graveyard, begun in 1801 when we moved to Kentucky.
Swiftly, the mist of our spell swirls around me like haunting apparitions, then reveals what has been kept hidden from the rest of the world. Not only the few graves of my ancestors, but the immense stone vault I must enter in search of the dagger. No, it won’t be so easy as prying open the door. I must summon a power I have never used before.
At a sound, like the scrape of a boot, I whirl. The wind slaps strands of my long hair across my face. I’ve kept it loose, free from any restraint because it increases the strength of my supernatural abilities, so little used in these modern times.
The inane urge to shout ‘who goes there’ purses my mouth as a dark form takes shape and moves toward me. Soon, I see the gait of a man, a tall imposing figure. Damn, I know him. I shudder inside, then seethe with utter rage, the red boil of my blood before my eyes. His betrayal rises like bile up my throat. I want to scream like a hoyden at him, and hurl the largest stone I can find.
“Kharmen.” His voice is like thick smoke and already it spirals through me, a carnal sorcery. “You need me.”
“I never needed you.” Refusing to gaze at him fully, I spin around. “Go away. I don’t want to waste my energies getting rid of you!”
Somehow, he captures my hand from behind, a gentle grasp only. He knows my power if he pushes me beyond reason.
“You need me,” he repeats. “I will add to your magick, as it was before.”
‘As it was before’, his words cut worse than any dagger stabbing into my flesh over and over. Yet, to the truth, he is correct.
“Stand beside me,” I order, then extend my arm toward the vault door.
We twine hands in a knot of power. I aim my finger and ‘see’ the dark violet streams strike the copper circlet before they burst forth.
As I envisioned it, so it now occurs. The bolts of violet light explode against the copper and spark magnificently. Suddenly, the vault door blows open, as if sucked free by a tornado.
We enter quickly, our hands still locked. There’s only so much time before it will close again. I wave my palm creating a soft illumination. In my mind’s eye I focus on the appearance of the dagger, knowing that will lead me to it’s location.
“Here!” I pull him toward a ruby-encrusted slender case that sits by itself on top of one altar.
“No!” He hauls me back against his brawny chest, so familiar I heave in breaths of need and fight a heady desire. “Don’t touch it.”
“Why?” I demand.
“Remember, Kharmen,” he intones hypnotically, “remember.”
The fog, of centuries long past, vanishes from my mind and I recall the early teachings of my magickal heritage. Reluctantly, I let the memory surface to its fullest as I turn into his embrace, an acceptance of what I must do.
“Make it fast.”
The last word barely passes my lips before he is sweeping me against him. His mouth on mine, he seizes the kiss I give him with a passion that makes me his, once again.
Together, we claim the dagger. Only it’s enchanted blade will pierce the hearts of our enemies destroying them for an eternity.
~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 302 ~Sylva debated whether to slip on one of the satin robes. She’d just stepped out of the ion unit and felt clean, refreshed. Though, she definitely preferred a shower, this was wonderful, certainly convenient. There were no worries about keeping her hair dry, either. Deciding on the ivory-colored robe, she slipped into it, then felt the slithery fabric cling to her body as she walked inside the bedroom. In the candle-like lighting, the bed looked inviting and seemed to whisper her name. Letting the robe fall to her feet, Sylva stroked the downy plump coverlet before sliding beneath the sheets.
Zeke strode from the ion unit. His balls tightened painfully with anticipation, the kind of ache that let him know he had stud endurance. Pausing at the bedroom door, he gazed at his wife. She’d reclined on her back, her head propped up on a couple of pillows, waiting for him. Though now, her pale little eyelids had closed. Silently, he moved toward her indulging himself in the sweet, yet sexy picture she made, just for him. Her beautiful round breasts were draped with the satin sheet. Her strawberry red hair had been flung backwards and lay in gorgeous waves.

Yep, where is that crescent moon, my spooky prowling Kittens... the Kougar wants to spring from Earth and jump over the moon in a great launching of her sleek body... because, finally, a good review for MURDER BY HAIR SPRAY IN GARDENIA, NEW ATLANTIS... meowsers! not just good, the reviewer, Katherine Petersen truly ‘gets’ the story and seems to enjoy it as this Big Cat author intended when she penned it.Blue Ribbon Rating: 4Review by Katherine PetersenRomanceJunkies.com
Oct 15, 2009 - 4:31:50 PMReview Snippet ~“She handles the relationship between Kalypso and Zryphus deftly... Kougar uses her erotic scenes judiciously as well: they’re stimulating and exciting but don’t over shadow the plot. If you’re in the mood for a madcap adventure... then MURDER BY HAIR SPRAY IN NEW GARDENIA, NEW ATLANTIS will serve nicely. Kougar has created a nice balance of serious and comic in this tale, and I hope she writes a sequel soon.”

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 301 ~Sylva moved into her dream-incredible dressing room, taking several moments to simply take it all in, and appreciate. Disrobing, she avoided the mirror, not wanting to see the tiredness on her face. “Vanity thy name is woman,” she murmured. Still, it was partly because it would only make her feel more exhausted. Sylva didn’t want that. There was far too much to enjoy in her current circumstances. Besides, she’d be a fool not to savor Zeke for every instant she could. After stretching again, she laid her new garments together. Soon she’d learn how to take care of them here.
Zeke listened to the rainstorm lash the windows as he made certain all was in order. With the threats they’d already encountered and the looming danger, a man had to be extra careful to protect his wife. Plus, he’d needed some time to cool his mounting ardor. God Above, he wanted his beautiful woman again. Her gaze had been pools of desire as she left him. Her sex scent still swirled around him, temptation itself. Once he removed his gunbelt and checked all the weapons, Zeke smiled, heading for his dressing area. Time for the gentle taking of his Sylva.
