My Name is Cer is OUT!

Cerberus, the hellhound of the Underworld, is given the task to accompany his queen wherever she wants to go and she picks modern day London. The duo is ready to indulge in shopping for her and plenty of naked willing ladies for him, only they’re greeted in the new world by violence.

Leaving a horrifying mess of blood and bodies behind, they find a hotel and connect with Kate Bentley. As a staff member, she sees that their every need is fulfilled and more with a visit to a lingerie shop. The playful and randy sides of Cer merge together with Kate and he can’t shake what he starts feeling for her.

Cer is a dog at heart, but after an erotic show, a kinky bra, Kate calling him Sir, and a couple men from Scotland Yard, there may be too many changes for them to go back to where they were.

Who is the real cupid?

It’s Valentine’s Day!

One day out of the year we dedicate to roses, chocolates and diamonds, mixed in with pink and red visions of romance and a baby wearing wings, carrying a bow and arrow. Wait a minute, a baby with a weapon? That's right. So, what makes Cupid right for the job? I'm not so sure he is, Eros might actually be better qualified for the position.

Both Ancient Greece and Rome had their own mythology and pantheon of deities to worship. Over the centuries the two groups have been combined, separated or listed side by side for comparison. Needless to say it’s sometimes difficult to know what’s true to their mythology and what isn’t. That said we definitely know that Eros was the God of Love for the Ancient Greeks and Cupid is the God of Erotic Love and Sex for the Romans. Unfortunately, that’s where it stops being clear-cut and simple.

In Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, Edith Hamilton states Eros was depicted as a “beautiful serious youth”. H.J Rose’s says in A Handbook of Greek Mythology that he was “handsome young athlete”, but before both of these characterizations were made he represented love, lust and intercourse as one of the oldest gods in Greece. Where worshipping of the god was important it’s been discovered he was the deity for attractive young men and boys. Across the Adriatic, Cupid was depicted as a child who had the same traits as those already noted. Like Janus, it was questioned whether Cupid had two distinctive sides to his persona or was actually two separate individuals.

After gaining Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, as his mother along with three prospective fathers, Eros image of male lust and sex was further encouraged. One probable father was Hermes, a phallic god and another was Ares, God of War. It seems even in the ancient world a warrior encouraged a woman’s desire to grow exponentially. The third potential was Aphrodite’s father, Zeus. This union was viewed as sexual passion so strong and out of control it has no limitations. This association with the uncontrollable made Eros a dangerous god. The parent issue was similar for Cupid. Jupiter and Venus were also noted as his parents, as were Nyx and Erebus. Both possible couples helped define and solidify various qualities of his character.

Both Cupid and Eros seem fairly interchangeable at this stage, except for their appearances and the Ancient Greek god having elements of danger associated with him. It's at this point the two figures actually appear to swap personalities.

It wasn’t until Alexandrian times that women come into picture for Eros. This happened when the ideal relationship between men and women moved from being mere sexual desire to one of love from the heart. Because of this supposed softening to his characterization, the God of Love’s importance to men was lessened. With this change in attributes, as well as society moving away from worshipping gods and goddess, he became a chubby child with a wicked bow, seen mainly in connection with Aphrodite and subordinate to others.

Cupid gained some clout as a god of love with an appearance on the romantic stage with the Cupid and Psyche’s love story, written in the second century [A.D.] by Apuleius. The story depicted Cupid as a young man and involved very adult issues found in romance like love, jealousy, mistrust and forgiveness. Unfortunately, it seems as if it wasn’t enough to allow him to be depicted as anything but a baby for Valentine’s Day.

So, what do you think? Does it make sense for Cupid to be the image of Valentine's Day? He is a child afterall. Maybe Eros [erotic love] would be better suited for the holiday that encourages lovers to put their hearts out there for their lovers to see and experience.

Sex Scene Saturday gone Mythology Erotic Romance: Marsyas and Filla

Tied Up for Love by Tilly Greene
Paranormal/Mythology Erotic Romance + Bondage

All Romance│Amazon

Filla is a nymph used to the raucous ways of a Dionysian festival and allows a handsome newcomer, Marsyas, to strip her down for a passionate interlude while tied to a tree.  After time spent alone, together, she knows little about him beyond the physical.  However, her feelings for him are growing until he brings her back for the next festival, and suddenly she's not sure of anything.

Love is found in the most unlikely places, but will it last?


Sex Scene Saturday

“You’re remembering when I first took your delicate sweet ass, aren’t you honey.”

“I am,” she whispered, and felt her heart beat race as the memory played across her mind.  “It was here, at the last festival, beneath that tree,” she pointed in the direction of the tree she thought of as theirs while keeping her eyes on the duo.

“Do you think he’s enjoying himself as much as you did?”  Marsyas moved around behind and held her breasts in his hands while he continued talking quietly in her ear.  “You looked so beautiful hugging the tree trunk as hard as you could.  The old twisted trunk offered places for your hands to hold and, if I remember correctly, a notch to put one of your feet in when you lifted it up for, well, better angles.  And then there were your soft breasts, scratched by the rough bark, but the hard tipped nipples shouted their excitement of the coarse treatment.  I now know it was the first time your back rose was breached, but you never said whether you were scared of the unfamiliar or not.  Were you?”

While he talked, his hands gently cradled her breasts and the thumbs reached up to stroke over their tips.  The soft touch lulled her desire to a simmering state, but when he added a pinch and tug, the need between her legs started to quiver for attention.  Her hands reached back to hold his hips, to use the grasp to bring him closer to her body.  She’d wanted him before they saw the man and centaur in action, but now she needed him even more, and everything else left her mind except how to break his iron grip on his passionate nature.

The pinches became firmer and then his erect rod teased her rear crack.  She felt her breath stop in the back of her throat and her eyes started to close.  No longer was the man being taken moaning, he grunted when the centaur grabbed some of his hair, and started to scream his pleasure as he was taken quicker.  Filla understood the desire for harder and faster, but the slow with power possession were also delightful.

“Were you afraid, Filla?”

She’d forgotten the question and found her voice raspy when she finally answered.

“Not of you, but the unknown had given me a moment’s pause.”  She tried to sound like she was paying attention to their conversion, when she wasn’t really.  Conversational awareness wasn’t possible while his hands played her body.

“Why not of me?  We didn’t know each other and we’d found each other at a Dionysian festival, which are not known to be the safest places.  Then there’s the obvious fact that I’m physically much bigger and stronger than you.  I constantly worry about hurting you and that’s the last thing I want to do.  You shouldn’t be so open, Filla.  Please, you need to remember not everyone is good.  Learn to put your guard up.”

“You’re good,” she told him at the same time as she noticed there was a real level of concern on his face.  Something had happened for him to go off on such an odd tract and yet they hadn’t been apart since they’d met.  Shaking her head to clear it of the need his fingers built, she looked over her shoulder, and found worry marks creasing his forehead.  She’d never been hurt or even threatened with violence, by anyone, but there was real concern in his voice and on his face.  “What’s going on, Marsyas?  What’s happened that you need to say all this?”
