The Sound of Thunder in My Ears

Zeus_by_thegryph

I’m working on the next book in the Gods Awaken paranormal erotica series: The Lust of Zeus. In doing research, I came across a poem by Sappho and was struck by its beauty and simplicity. It’s quoted in The Lust of Zeus as well, but it’s been lingering in my thoughts all day.


Lust of Zeus, new paranormal erotica story


He’s equal with the Gods, that man

Who sits across from you,

Face to face, close enough, to sip

Your voice’s sweetness,


And what excites my mind,

Your laughter, glittering. So,

When I see you, for a moment,

My voice goes,


My tongue freezes. Fire,

Delicate fire, in the flesh.

Blind, stunned, the sound

Of thunder, in my ears.


 


 


In Lust of Zeus, the god himself quotes this poem to Danaë, the young woman he ultimately seduces. Danaë has been hidden away by her father, but nothing can prevent a god from finding his deepest desire. I’ll be working on Lust of Zeus this weekend, and hope to have it available on Monday!


I’m also starting a new paranormal erotica series soon, while continuing to write in The Confessions series. So much seduction… so little time!
