The Bull Shifter Speaks

A warmer autumn day, my Big Kittens... so the clock has fallen back as in what time it is. The utter stupidity of this practice reminds the Kougaress of busy work at school. Just something to keep everyone occupied while the world spins off course and the looming dictatorship arrives.
What happened to being governed by those we actually vote for? Instead, massive layers of bureaucrats are taking over more and more with their so-called policies... policies no one has voted on or for. Policies are being called laws when they’re not actually on the books as laws. There are individuals being arrested, more ad more each day, on policy rather than on the law. Currently, being arrested is being used as a form of intimidation and punishment, not as a way to discover the truth and bring about justice.
So, this is the Kougar’s sacred declaration... She is a sovereign being. She is a sovereign woman. She is a sovereign individual, only unto the One Creator where her inalienable rights originate.
She IS NOT a citizen of any form of government, any country, or of the world. She will not recognize any manner of immoral code or law that breaks the Divine Law of Love.

Oh, oops, moi did not mean to take that tack, but roaring-there it is.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 310 ~

Sylva resisted going to sleep, despite her total exhaustion. Her cowboy husband felt way too good, the way he held her and the way she could nestle against him. Still, she drifted off fast. Even the constant rumbles of thunder, that reminded her of a giant grumbling sky god, couldn’t keep her awake. Darkness claimed her and soon her dreams began. A mishmash of memories from her recent life, before arriving on this Earth, catapulted before her mind’s eye. For lucid moments, she wondered if she could dream travel between the two Earths, if she could visit those she loved.

Zeke settled his head on the pillow, pleasurably inhaling the fragrances of his wife. As she drifted into slumber, her scent altered subtly. The continuing ferocity of the storm concerned him, since usually thunderstorms of this nature blew in, then blew out rapidly. Or, a rainstorm would set in and drench the thirsty land, but not this booming growl. Not the ongoing flashes of lightning. Still, no real damage was being done that he could tell. They were safe, warm and dry. With gratitude surging through him for his bride, Zeke kissed his Sylva’s shoulder and let sleep overcome him.

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #61

This week brings the opportunity to focus on your dreams, those being realized and those you want to realize. The energies at this time will aid you in creating what your heart desires most, despite all opposing forces. And there will be plenty of those in your personal life and on the world stage.
Remember, in these times, to cling close to those you love most. Your combined strength will see you through and offer inspiration to others around you. The more good we can all do in the world, the more good there will be for everyone.
Caution ~ the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Doing good is a matter of true discernment, of coming from your highest self. It is not a matter of following what others ‘believe’ to be the good thing to do.

Sovereign smooches from the Kougar...

Another ShapeShifting Monday...

It’s been raining on the tame prairie the past couple of mornings. The clouds and thunder roll in and the raindrops saturate the needy ground. It’s a good thing, my Big Beautiful Cats, except for the Kougar’s plaguing allergies. Still, moi wouldn’t have it any other way. She adores the rain and what it does for Mother Earth.
Yep, meow-indeedy, another shapeshifting Monday. This Big Cat has penned another two flashes for the NEW BULL IN TOWN ~ to be featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS on Tuesday, August 18. So, take a peekie if you want a bull-charging X-good time.
Yep, the Kougar is writing away on BRANDED BY THE TEXANS and havin’ a western-good time... with everything leading up to the ‘branded’ scene.
In the back of moi’s renegade brain... Kandace and her Halloween Hellhound Heroes are coming to life... too bad, since it will be too late to try to submit for Halloween... even if the Kougar does get it written.
~~~~~~

Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie THE LAST WRITTEN PARAGRAPHS-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...

“Now, we got a fourth.” Dono set the table in the center of the room. “If you play, Kylie.”
“Depends on the game. You all probably play poker. I’m lousy at it.”
None of them spoke, the silence nearly deafening.
“Strip poker,” Dash crowed, then moved to the table and set the tray down.
“In that case, I’m wearing three times as many clothes. No, at least, four times.” Kylie’s voice dared any of them to make her do otherwise.
Dillon chuckled to himself as he eased her onto the floor, then stood behind her.
“You can wear as many clothes as you want, sweetheart.” Dono busied himself placing the chairs.
“Given your sweet-ass luck at cards, you would say that,” Dash fired back. Quickly, he set out the plates, then the glasses of milk while Dono shot a frown at him.
Pivoting, Dash presented a formal posture. “May I seat you, Princess Kylie?”
She hesitated a fraction of an instant before walking toward Dash. “You may, handsome cowboy Prince.”
The sway of her hips trapped Dillon’s gaze and he knew why men fist-pummeled each other over a woman. Hell, what was he going to do? Start fighting his brothers out in the barn over her, after he’d reprimanded them.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....

Part 233 ~

Sylva studied her cowboy’s eyes, glinting like brandy set in sunlight. “Is this such a good idea, walking around? You look worried.” He gave her a smile that should have melted her into a puddle. “Then, we’ll go inside. You show me what you like. And I’ll show you what I like.” Sylva smiled back, then flirtatiously teased, “And what if we both like the same thing?” Lowering his face closer to hers, he rasped, “That’s an automatic purchase, don’t you think?” Sylva slid her fingertip beneath his string tie and twirled. “I think I like how you’re treating me.”

Zeke slowly palmed his woman’s shoulders drawing her close for a moment. Their breaths mingled before he brought her beside him, escorting her into Bethanne’s Finest Women’s Wear. Once inside, the familiar fragrance of honeyed vanilla surrounded them. Before he could think, Zeke froze. Sally Hansen, her blonde pigtails askew as usual, stood at a round of picnic frocks. The teenager had done everything but strip off her clothes in front of him to get his lustful attention and entice him into courtship. He’d never laid a finger on her, except dragging her back to wherever she’d tied her horse.

How silly to think Kitchens can't be romantic places. If a couple is preparing food together that can be utterly romantic and a wonderful way to learn about each other.
I've used the kitchen in one of my books and just used it in a scene. The heroine doesn't know much about the hero, but because of circumstance they're together at his ranch. How people relate to each other over food and caring for each other is often key to the development of their love for each other.

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #50

This week is about highs and lows within the context of the Unraveling. Ride them out with as much equanimity as you can. That is, rejoice in the highs, but know it is temporary at best. The same is true with the lows. Feel the experience, yet know it is temporary.
Currently, certain forces have not yet solidified. Thus, the week has a murky quality to it. Still, there will be opportunities to move your dream forward. Do it. By doing so you will benefit others as much as yourself.

More shape-shifting smooches from the Kougar...

Robin Egg Blue

Once upon a time, my Beautiful Big Cats, the sky as the Kougar knew it, was a robin egg blue in color, especially during the summer months.
No more.
More often than not, the sky, no matter what shade of blue, looks as if it’s been sprayed by coal dust, a thin layer of filth from the horizon to the bowl of the sky overhead.
So, it was today, when moi made a trip into town. It was gorgeous day, actually. And, the sky should have been a clear bright blue. It wasn’t.
Sadly, what the Kougaress observed also, in town. Or the local hardware store. People are afraid, very afraid. Fear of the future is gradually replacing the ‘howdy, neighbor’ attitude. It’s as though, you’re here to steal, not to buy. Understandable in the current economy, certainly. And, people know it will only get worse as more of their neighbors lose their jobs.
Because, despite what the latest media hype is, people know deep down something is wrong ~ that the world and their lives aren’t working as they should be, that their futures and the futures of their loved ones, is in danger.
The Kougar wishes with all her heart and soul, she could click her claws, wave a magic wand, change things for us all... if only...
Like the tiniest angel feather, a teensy down feather from a birdie rested on one of the top leaves of moi’s tomato plants, easily seen, even with its fairy-like size.
A loving sign? The Kougaress would like to believe so...

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....

Part 219 ~

Sylva smiled, continuing her steps. What was in the water here? Or, what wasn’t in the water? She considered asking Zeke, yet knew now was not the time. Not when he was dealing with the whole dangerous Ranson situation. It was definitely low on the priority list. Her cowboy husband turned to her, a slight grin on his handsome face. “Has something changed?” Sylva moved before him. “You’re about to meet my sister, Marina, and her husband, Grant. They’re going to meet us at the diner before Ranson is due to show up.” Opening his arm, he shifted to embrace her.

Zeke hugged her loosely as his Sylva leaned against him. “Tell you what, why don’t we dress, then I’ll show you some more of the town until it’s time to head over to the diner?” He felt her little nod against his chest. “I have no idea what to ‘dress’ in,” she murmured. “That’s never a problem, darlin’. You got me as your personal fashion advisor.” Zeke covered her hand as she daintily stroked his chest. “Yeah, if I want my breasts to be on permanent display.” Rumbling a chuckle, he offered, “How about a fashionable outfit similar to Marina’s?”

Angelic Forecast ~ #48

The following week is a time of unraveling. That is, those things that no longer work in your life will unravel, whether just the beginning threads, or the very last thread to be undone. If you can see or know that is what is occurring, those situations will be easier to let go of, and to be seen for what they are.
So goes the world stage. More unraveling will occur and the process will speed up. This will allow for the truth to be revealed, so that more and more of us are aware and take action.

Talk About Purple Prose...

The University of Missouri has opened its greenhouse to the public for the soon-expected bloom of a "corpse flower." The rare plant is named for the pungent dead animal odor it uses to attract pollinators. The UM plant hasn't bloomed in eight years, and when it does will only be open for a day. Watch it live on the Corpse Flower Webcam.

Talk about purple prose... meow and double wow, does that phallic and vaginal plant display both in an outstandingly gorgeous way...

Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...

Kylie emerged from complete blackness, feeling as though she crawled up a long tunnel. Was it raining? Something splashed on the roof above her. If so... she snuggled deeper, reaching for her pillow. An instant later alarm shot through her. This wasn’t her bed.
Where the ‘f’ was she? Who was she laying on top of? Whoever he was, he was damn large and hard... and definitely aroused. She didn’t move attempting to remember. But her brain was still composed of fog.
“It’s okay, sweet thang.”
Her eyes snapped open. That voice she recalled everything as if a tidal wave swept over her. Kylie jerked up. “No, it’s not.”
“Yes, it is.”
Shit, he was toying with her, his tone amused, smug. In the dim grayish light his dark gray eyes glistened like steel beneath the noon sun. “You look like a viking masquerading as a cowboy.”

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....

Part 156 ~

Sylva couldn’t help wondering what it would be like to have her own air car? “Cherry elixir,” she murmured, looking over the list. There were so many offerings her eyes glazed over. “Cherry Rootbeer,” she finally uttered, choosing the first one that appealed to her. “Cherry Rootbeer, it is, my bride.” Picking up a small device that had the appearance of a microphone, Zeke ordered her elixir and an oat ale. “Oat ale?” Sylva raised one brow. “A man needs to stay potent on his honeymoon.” He looped his arms around her, his eyes glinting with amusement and lusty promise.

Zeke studied his bride’s features for any sign of fatigue, then asked, “How about we practice the art of kissing until our drinks arrive?” She slid her fingertips over the lapels of his jacket, a sensuous flirtation. “We should practice the art of kissing,” she lilted sexily. Zeke swept his hands lower, adoring the feel of her beneath the gown skirts. “How about on my lap? Let’s make ourselves comfortable.” She nodded. Zeke swooped her up carrying his Sylva to the kissing couch, specially designed for a man to hold his woman and smooch with her in an intimate manner.

“Heaven?” I ask.
“One of many. Welcome to the realm of Seeing.”
“Seeing?”
“It’s where we watch the grand scale of Earth.”
“Am I supposed to ‘see’ something?” I ask. A flutter of foreboding begins in deep in my belly.

Flash! All That Bull

Hold onto your stetsons, Big Woolly Cats, there's a new bull in town, and he's aiming to star in his own story as the heroine's to-ride 'em and not die, yippee ki yay! hero...
Check out all the cow shifter and talon-fierce critters in the fiction flashes at the Liquid Silver blog ~liquidsilverbooks.com/blog ~
Flash! All That Bull
ONE
Damn! Like this is how I wanted to spend my Sunday. On stupid repairs. I pounded the third nail into the loose middle board of my old corral. I wouldn’t have bothered, except I needed it fixed for my new Arab colt.
Ouch! The hammer smacked my thumb. Damn it to effing hell! Worse! Now sweat beaded on my forehead, threatening to sting my eyes.
I bent over, pounding the stubborn nail. Damn! I stilled. A large snout snuffled, pressed against my crotch. Sniffing, blowing loudly, the animal’s muzzle pushed upward, snuggling.
None of my horses were in the corral.
TWO
I whirled around, the hammer poised like a weapon. The huge coffee-colored eyes of a longhorn bull met me. His coat was a shiny healthy liver red. His immense spread of white horns gleamed beneath the noon sun. From what I could see, flattened against my corral post, with my heart thundering, he was all sleek ferocious muscle. And beating him with the hammer would most likely have only enraged him. Calm in my panic I merely stared back at him, then asked, "Have a home?"
My answer. His nostrils flared. Stepping closer, he thrust his muzzle against my loins.
THREE
Blowing loudly, he slowly rubbed his muzzle up the zipper of my jeans. Almost delicately, he snuffled the thin hugging fabric of my tank top. My sweat-damp tank top.
"I’ll bet someone’s looking for you," I crooned softly, half-mesmerized by the look of rut glinting from his hooded eyes.
Surprised when his muzzle shoved between my breasts, my belly leaped as if a bullet had struck.
Omygawd! Naked as a jaybird, the cowboy I’d refused to dance with last night stood pressed against me. I dropped the hammer, reached back to clutch the post. My breath poured out in gusts.
A lotta bull smooch from the Kougar...
