I
admit it, I have a thing for blue aliens. When writing my alien romance
stories, I could choose any other colored skin to give my extraterrestrial
heroes, but I always wind up making them blue.
Blue
is a relaxing color for me. It’s the color of my office, of jeans which I love
to wear, of my bed sheets, and of the sky. Isn’t it relaxing to simply stare up
into a clear blue sky?
But
blue can also mean sadness and vulnerability. All of my blue aliens are
vulnerable, afraid of not being accepted because they are so different from the
women they long for.
And
maybe I find blue to be sexy as well. ;)
It’s
no wonder the alien heroes in Celestial Seduction, Satin Sheets in Space, and
now An Unexpected Return are blue. It’s my comfort color, and it makes them
less scary for me.
Here’s
an excerpt from An Unexpected Return, where the heroine, Xia, meets Aris, a
blue alien from the planet Tyto:
Walking
into the silky rear-end of an oroke, she came to an abrupt halt. The creature
had been walking at a steady pace and then stopped. She’d failed to notice in
time. Wiping fluff off her face, she turned around and walked into another hard
body. “I’m so sorry.”
Hands
clamped down on her arms. “Are you all right?”
She
stared up into deep brown eyes. Chewing her bottom lip, she nodded. If this man
hadn’t been holding on to her, she would have fallen to the ground. The word
swoon held no meaning for her until now.
Am I only like this
because of the eletin I inhaled back home? Or was there something more she found
heart-racing about the blue-skinned, well-muscled hunk of an Otarian who held
her up?
No,
she couldn’t feel anything for him. Their races had been sworn enemies for
years. Everyone across the galaxy knew that. Yet here she was, standing face to
face, gazing intently at him, with no will to move.
He
smiled at her, drawing her attention from his eyes to his lips. How would they
taste? She’d never kissed anyone intimately before.
“What’s
your name?”
Name?
Gods, what was her name? “Zee…Xia.” Had she told him, or only thought the word?
He
released her arms to brush his fingers along her jaw line. How she remained
standing, she had no idea.
“Xia.
A beautiful name belonging to a beautiful woman.”

An Unexpected Return Blurb
Looking to experience all the universe
has to offer, Prince Aristides escapes from the kingdom of Tyto
and travels through space to the Emerald Planet, Elatia. He yearns to partake
in the activities the planet is famous for, and fulfill all his sexual desires,
but loses his heart and soul to an Adamos apprentice. Unfortunately, she is
Terran, and her people are sworn enemies of those from Tyto. If he can convince
Xia to give up her dreams of becoming an Adamos, and travel back to Tyto with
him, will his parents accept her, or condemn them both?
Abandoned as a toddler on Elatia, and
raised by Kalara, an Adamos specializing in erotic massage, Xia decides to
follow in her footsteps. But she remains conflicted as to whether she wants to
service clients for the rest of her life, or settle down and raise a family.
When she meets Aris, he turns the tables on her, and brings her as much pleasure
as she gives him.
Will they have their chance to be together, or will
their families tear them away from any chance of young love?

I love the color blue, too, Jessica, but especially the vibrant ethereal blue of the sky when there's no humidity, like it is this morning in Ohio. Just gorgeous! And that same blue is why I picked the pen name Azura. Blue rules, lol...but I'm not adverse to red either, lmao!
ReplyDeleteFaith, I do love the color red, but an alien of that color would seem more threatening to me. Blue does rule! :)
