Saturday Book Diver Interviews Cade Winter from Wolf Run by BJ McCall

(Please excuse the delayed post!)

Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver! Every weekend I magically dive into fictional worlds to interview fascinating characters.

It’s a crisp winter morning here in the world of Wolf Run. I’ve just arrived outside the pack security office. On my way to the entrance, I’m captivated by the beauty of the snow-covered forest.

The door opens and a gorgeous, dark-haired muscular man in uniform steps out to greet me. It’s Cade Winter, security officer for his pack. By the set of his lean jaw and the look in his whiskey-brown eyes, he’s ready for this interview.

He leads me inside and while he fills two mugs with coffee, I glance around at the maps on the walls and the paperwork arranged on his desk. Despite the official surroundings, I can’t help feeling comfortable here. Although Cade is a werewolf and a rugged guy, he inspires feelings of safety. I imagine that’s why he’s so good at his job.

Cade offers me a cup of coffee. Then he sits, takes a sip from his mug and waits for me to begin.

SBD: Cade, thank you for talking to me this morning. I’m curious--and I’m sure readers are to--about your job. Would you tell us about what you do here in the pack lands?

Cade:  My job is a combination of a police officer and ranger. I’m trained in law enforcement and wilderness rescue. I’m responsible for the safety of pack members and the preservation of our forest and wildlife. You won’t find litter or pollution here.

SBD:  That sounds like a great line of work. Your pack lands aren’t exactly secluded from the human population. How do werewolves and humans get along around here?

Cade:  The pack has a good working relationship with the local communities. Our officers, firefighters and rescue units lend assistance whenever needed. These mountains are beautiful, but they can be dangerous.

[It’s apparent that Cade is enthusiastic about his job and proud of the work he does.]

SBD: I can imagine. It’s good to know you’re there to help, no matter what species needs assistance. Speaking of humans, you’re not far from the Iverson School in Ridgetop. I heard that recently you and your friend Oliver used your rescue sleds for a rather unusual purpose that had to do with the school. What happened?

Cade:  A storm closed the roads, preventing the annual delivery of presents. Most of the students go home for holidays, but the orphans live at the school year round and I couldn’t let them wake up Christmas morning thinking Santa had forgotten them. Oliver and I gave Santa a little help. We loaded the presents onto our sleds, hitched them behind our snowmobiles and drove them over the summit. The kids got the presents and I got to spend Christmas with Stella. She’s the office manger for Iverson School.

[There’s nothing that warms the heart like a tough guy with a sensitive side.]

SBD: From what I hear Stella is a special lady. What three words do you think describe her best?

Cade:  Beautiful, sexy and hot-scented. I know that sounds strange, but wolves are very attuned to scent.

SBD: Having known my share of werewolves, it doesn’t sound strange at all. It helps humans understand when other species talk about their abilities. What three words do you think Stella would use to describe you?

Cade:  I hope she’d say sexy, good-looking and hot. But friend, lover and mate works just fine.

[I can see why Stella loves this guy.]

SBD: Can you tell us anything about Oliver and Charlotte?

Cade:  My best friend and Stella’s sister, now that was a surprise. They really hit it off. If things get more serious, I know a couple of she-wolves that are really going to be disappointed.

SBD: [Chuckles] I’m sure! Will you give us your favorite excerpt from Wolf Run?

Cade:  The excerpt I’ve chosen should give you an idea what I mean by hot-scented.

Cade set his wine on the end table and cupped her face. Her features were so delicate and her skin was so soft. He prayed he wasn’t misreading the look in her eyes. “Stella.”

He settled his mouth over hers, kissing her gently. When her lips parted beneath his, Cade deepened the kiss. He wanted to pull her into his arms and hold her tight, but Cade needed to gauge her response.

Their tongues touched and Cade molded his mouth to hers. He sensed the increase of her body heat and the subtle change of her scent indicating her arousal. Still, he moved with caution. Werewolves accepted their primal urges, but they were raised to respect their partners and not treat relationships with casual indifference.

Cade lifted his head, breaking the kiss. He took her wine glass and set it next to his. He drew her back into his arms. This time she’d have to make the move. “Stella.”

She placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed him.

Delicious and enthralling, the kiss changed from a gentle exploration into a heated meeting of lips and tongue. She gripped his shoulders, digging her nails into his muscles. Cade cupped her breast and felt the hard nub of her nipple through the soft material of her sweater. The heat of her arousal penetrated his nostrils.

His instincts told him she wanted him, but he had to be sure. It was Christmas Eve, and he was Stella’s houseguest. Tonight wasn’t about only sex and momentary lust. He wanted more than a one-night stand.

Cade cupped her face in his hands and broke the kiss. “I want you, Stella.” He was so hard he hurt. “But I have to ask, how far do you want this to go?”

“Because of what you are?”

“Yes.”

Her green eyes sparkled. “Is sex different with werewolves?”

“When I’m in human form, the parts are the same as any man. And no, I won’t shift into a wolf when we make love.” Cade inhaled a deep breath. The heat of her arousal was driving him crazy. If she didn’t want to have sex, he was going to have to go outside and roll around in the snow naked.

Whew! After that excerpt I’ll be glad to step into the winter chill to help cool off.

Cade’s interview is over and it’s time for me to leave the world of Wolf Run. I’m sorry I can’t stay longer because this is a pleasant, cheerful place to visit. I’d like to return one day and hopefully meet more werewolves, but for now I have to go.

It sounds to me like this holiday season has been a great one for Cade, Stella, Oliver and Charlotte. If you’d like the sexy details about what happened on the night of the wolves’ toy run, read Wolf Run by B. J. McCall.

Oh No! Santa's Trapped Where...??? by Marie Treanor

Santa's Helpers are here, and you are invited to the Naughty List!

More Naughty List blog hopping here, because we're still celebrating the release of the multi-author Santa's Helpers series and the chance for readers to get on the Naughty List to win free ebooks for a year!

Learn about the books of the Santa's Helpers series and their authors in the Naughty List Blog Hop!

Today's Stop: Marie Treanor talks about about her Santa's Helper story, Damned Santa and the world Santa's trapped in with his sexy new helper.

Previous Stop: Mistletoe Mistakes by Jocelyn Michel here at Changeling Press' Blog with B.J. McCall hosting

Next Stop Today!: Christmas Glow by Megan Slayer at Marie Treanor's Romantic Theme Party.

So...

Santa's Trapped Where...?

In the City of the Damned - a dark, dangerous, ruined husk of a place, largely destroyed by nuclear war, the effects of which still block the sun. Somehow, people still live there - many of them very strange people, mutants like vampires, werewolves (lupi), oddly gifted or cursed individuals...

But you know all this, because you read about it in the City of the Damned series :).

What you may not know is that among those mutants lives the original, slightly mad, slightly punk, time travelling Santa Claus...

Well, didn't you ever wonder how Santa managed to get around the whole world in twenty-four hours? Time travel, of course.

But since the war, he just can't get out of the City of the Damned in any time, and his helpers can't get in. He has to hope his elves are taking care of the rest of the world, while he works alone in the City most people fear to enter, and somehow keeps track of all the children and their meagre toys - past, present and future. It's not easy without materials or workers - or safe, when he keeps running into himself from another time...

Then an unexpected helper shows up - but she's a thief, and she's on a mission to get out of the City. She could just be Santa's own sexy Christmas treat...or she could be something more. As one of his future selves has already found out... Will find out. Maybe. If his present self can persuade her to stay.

Well, I never said it wasn't confusing! Re-enter the City of the Damned for yourself, and all will become clear! In the mean time, before the contest, here's a snippet...



DAMNED SANTA (Santa's Helpers)
By MARIE TREANOR
Out Now from Changeling Press

Has Santa Claus really been trapped in the ruined City of the Damned?

Kate's a survivor who's had enough of the city. Escaping the lupi police, she hides out in the workshop of a sexy if insane mutant who claims to travel in time just to give presents to other people's children. Kate could be his lover, his savior, his helper -- if he can only persuade her to stay.

*

“It’s my busy night. Here.” He handed her clean plastic bottle of water. “I think it’s uncontaminated.”

“You think? Don’t you care?”

“Not for myself.”

Shit. She paused with the bottle not quite touching her lips. “Are you a mutant, Nicholas?”

 “Sort of. Are you?”

“No.”

“So you’re afraid of me?”

Was she? She stared at him. “Should I be?”

His blue eyes gleamed with wickedness. “Not if we’re to end up in that bed.”

She whisked herself away from him. “Dream on, asshole. I’m going.”

“Because I want to make love to you?”

She rounded on him from a safe distance. “Yes!”

His lips quirked , fascinating her. Treacherous moisture gathered between her thighs as she imagined those lips on her body, in all the places suddenly tingling under his scrutiny.

“I didn’t say I’d do it today,” he pointed out, glancing at a dial strapped to his wrist. “In fact, much as I’d love to, I just don’t have any time right now. Why don’t you wait for me? You can eat whatever you find in the cupboards beside the fireplace.”

He walked over to the bag he’d dropped earlier, picked it up and continued over to the corner table with the toys, which he began to stuff into the sack.

Baffled, she glared at his back. “Wait for you? Because you think you can come back and have sex with me?”

He glanced over his shoulder, grinning at her outrage. And Jesus, his smile was devastating enough to kill her anger stone dead. His eyes darkened.

“I live in hope,” he said. “Don’t you?”

Whoa, she wasn’t going there again, not after Lars had tried to sell her to his friends. With a touch of desperation, she countered, “Don’t you care that I broke into your home to rob you? Don’t you care that I still will the moment you’re gone?”

He dropped the last teddy bear in the bag before closing it, and swung it over his shoulder. “There’s nothing worth stealing now.”

She frowned, coming closer again as if she couldn’t stay away. A moth to the mutant flame that would probably kill her. Or at least burn her. “You’re weird, do you know that?”

“Yes, I know that. So I’ll see you later?”

She came to a halt a foot away from him and lifted her chin. “No.”

He took a step closer and her breath caught. It was as if some hot, magnetic current emanated from him. Something about his stance, poised and still, not even touching her, was more intimate than an embrace. She found herself watching his lips again, wondering how they felt, how they tasted. He stirred and her gaze shifted to the hand holding his sack of toys. Long-fingered, strong, deft. How would it feel on her body, on her breasts, between her thighs, stroking…?

She forced her attention back to his face. Mistake. He was even sexier when his eyes clouded with lust.

“We’ll be good together. So good…” he whispered, and bent his head. Her stomach seemed to dive and dissolve. Her pussy clenched with fierce, treacherous longing and she couldn’t make herself avoid it.

His mouth brushed hers, caressed and fastened. His hand came up and cupped her cheek, his skin rough, exciting, although his touch was gentle.

There was nothing she could do except open to him, helpless with totally misplaced desire. His tongue slid along hers, hot and exciting. And then, he was gone.

Not just stepped away from her, but totally gone.

  

So tell me, do you think time travel is a reasonable explanation for Santa's speed dash around the world on Christmas Eve? Or do you have a better explanation? :)

Also, don't miss the amazing Megan Slayer on my blog today, talking about her Santa's Helpers story, Christmas Glow... -  at Marie Treanor's Romantic Theme Party

Happy Christmas!
