“They were so very close to each other, something Oliver seemed to realise a moment later. His eyes held that shine of surprise. His pulse quickened, Tau could hear it, feel it through the fingers still curled against his sternum. Those pink lips parted. Hot air brushed across his face with each heavy breath. In, out. Chest swelling, falling. Heartbeat unsteady. Fast.
Tau reached out, and that heartbeat stuttered.”
― Penny Moss, Miners of the Mystics

“Burning eyes regarded him. OUR DEAL.
"Doesn't extend as far as you've been reaching."
A TREE ONLY KNOWS TO GROW.
Ryurikov's lips vibrated with a puff. "You're being very evasive—"
A furry and heavily toned leg curled around him, eased him forward, careful enough that should he put up any resistance, it would stop.
Ryurikov's heart did a thing, a thing he didn't like. It lurched and stuttered at the same time. His hands connected with Awimak's torso, fingers splayed against the muscular chest to catch himself. The scent of earth and stone greeted him, drifting into his very soul with a deep, nervous inhale.”
― Penny Moss, Coil of Boughs

“YOUR INADEQUACIES ANGER YOU.
Ryurikov glared up in affront. He opened his mouth to retort, but a sturdy finger pressed against his lips. The very gall of Awimak shushing him—
THERE IS NO SHAME IN HAVING LIMITATIONS, RYURIKOV. ONLY IN ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR LIMITATIONS CAN YOU GROW.
"I'm not a fucking tree."
TREES, HUMANS. THERE IS LITTLE DIFFERENCE. YOU COME FROM THE EARTH, YOU BLEED. YOU DO WHAT YOUR NATURE TELLS YOU TO. Awimak cupped Ryurikov's face and gently stroked his cheek with a thumb. A REFUSAL TO GROW IS ALL THAT WARRANTS SHAME.”
― Penny Moss, Coil of Boughs

“An odd noise left Oliver. Tau didn't have the faintest idea what he meant, but it amused him all the same. The scant yet sometimes mighty human watched him with those eyes. Like moss turned vibrant with dwimmer in an otherwise impenetrable darkness. Oliver's hair, an undulation of gold. That skin, alabaster tinged pink. And his mouth.
Soft.
Tau knew it was because, in a moment of daring, he had touched those lips. What if he were to touch them again, right now? What if he were to touch other parts? Just being here, sitting so close, thrilled him in ways he had no hope of explaining. All Tau knew was that he wanted to touch.
Touch.”
― Penny Moss, Miners of the Mystics

“While Oliver sat, slender legs spread and curious green eyes–his favourite, favourite colour–peering up at him. Tau always had a moment to spare for him, everyone else could wait.
Favourite.”
― Penny Moss, Miners of the Mystics

“There was more he wanted to say, but his mouth quickly ran dry as Tau’s hand drifted up to his neck, stroking a thumb across the skin. Once, twice. Three times. It didn’t occur to Oliver that they had stopped moving, that he’d stopped breathing. Sharp tips scraped his nape, ran further up and grabbed him by the hair to tug his head back, exposing his throat. He shuddered, lips parting around a heated gasp. Aching desire ran straight down to his groin, he pressed against the firm body behind him. Tau lowered, mask a scrape away from his face, hand still in his hair, the other coming round to stroke down his chest, to his stomach.”
― Penny Moss, Miners of the Mystics

“The boss of a secret wrestling association operating out of the basement of my work building had dressed up in a costume and hired an exotic dancer to give him a sexy “sad office worker” striptease in his office. I couldn’t decide which part was the weirdest.”

“There would not be enough stars in the sky to amount to the love I have for you. The world would dim and still, I would be angry I didn’t bring you enough light. I could steal the sun and it wouldn’t compare to your soul. Nothing, no one, equates to you, Mickey.”
― January Rayne, Snapdragons

“Maybe it’s the lingering pulse of the distant music or my own thundering heartbeat, but it’s like my sense of reasoning was peeled off along with my clothes. All I know from the raw hunger in my chest and wet desire sticky between my legs, is that I need her. It feels as if I don’t have those sinful lips pressed against me soon, there’ll be hell to pay.
“Take my mind off it then,” I say as I twist my fingers in her hair and tilt my body up towards the burning trails her fingers are tracing into my skin.
I can feel her smile against my neck. “With pleasure.”
― Jacki Sensal, The Sapphic Succubus: A Spicy Lesbian Fantasy

“You’ve added another favor on your tab,” Czeha says, “and I’m not one to go into the negatives—I owe you.”
“Oh no,” I say as I lift my hands and wave them modestly, “not at all. I really am happy to help.”
“Stopping a mage from wrecking the tavern, cleaning up after a fight, and heck—you didn’t even get to drink that whiskey of yours, did you?”
“I suspect it might be on the floor by now.” I shrug playfully. “A shame, after such a great show pouring it. Although,” I hurry to add, “I’ll still pay for what I ordered, of course!”
“You’re kidding.” Czeha laughs. It’s a fun sound that has an exciting bite to it, almost as if it’s bordering on a bark. But it’s full of warmth in a way that sends a tendril of heat through me. “The tavern’s in your debt. And even if that wasn’t the case, I’m not gonna charge you for something you didn’t get to drink. Here.”
― Jacki Sensal, Gnoll Kidding: A Cozy Lesbian Monster Romance

“The first thing I feel is heat. Her lips are thin but soft, and extremely eager. As I part my mouth and move against her, I can tell she’s being careful to keep her sharp teeth behind her lips.
I twist my hand in her mane, pulling her closer. I’m not fragile—I can take a little bite if she’s willing to give it to me.”
― Jacki Sensal, Gnoll Kidding: A Cozy Lesbian Monster Romance
