Christine Feehan fans know that she’s rather famous for her long sex scenes. I’m reading Murder Game and there is no shortage of sex. I’m only on page 117, but I think there have been, like, 34.5 pages of sex. Or something like that.
This happens in one of the sex scenes after the hero maneuvers the heroine where he wants her.
Her face was in his lap, right where he’d planned all along. He caught her hand and wrapped it around the thick length of him, down low at the base, even as he used the fist in her hair to guide her mouth over him.
In the right situation, the pulling of the hair can be hot. I’m not really feeling it in this scene. It seems less like he’s compelling and more like he’s forcing. He doesn’t even give her a chance to pull away.
So…what say you? Hot or not?
I have to go with “not”. I think it can be really sexy and erotic when the hero is pulling the heroines hair, guiding her along. But knowing CF like I do I’m betting this was more along the lines of his forcing her to do what he wants (not in the rape sense, but more along the lines of, “She doesn’t know what she wants, so I’ll tell her”).
To me, that isn’t sexy. It’s too..calculated.
NOT
So not! Sounds too much like something a guy would write! Ugh.
Is she enjoying herself? Does she WANT to do that?
If he’s forcing then I say kick him in the nuts.
If he’s not, and she wants it, hot!
I would need to read more of the scene to get a better sense of what the heroine is thinking, but if she’s into it, then it’s hot. Some women might like being “directed”, so to speak. If she feels forced into it though, then definitely NOT hot.
He wasn’t forcing her and she did enjoy it.
I just got the impression that he wouldn’t have stopped if she would have said n-o. He would have tried to persuade her.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to go with not. I’m not a huge fan of the “guided” blow job. If you’re so moved by arousal that you pull on the hair a bit, great. Otherwise – let the woman do her thing.
Yow! Okay, I would say not, but I need some more leadup. Here, though, she seems much the blowup doll.
Yum, nice photo of Jack Harper.
Without more context, it’s a not from this seat in the peanut gallery.
But then, I can’t read CF anymore, so I won’t get any more context, right? heh.
From just the little bit of the scene you posted, I have to say not. Like you, I’m not really feeling any hotness from those lines.
This is so definitely a NOT! It’s one of the big no-nos in my book.
The first sentence makes it NOT hot. Where he wanted her all along? Sounds like he’s getting what he wants without thinking about her. Would be different with the right wording.

I’ve never read CF, but I have the first 5 Carpathian books in my TBR. While it’s kind of hot, I think it depicts the guy as being manipulative and lacking finesse, which is never a good thing.
Hard to say. It’s all contextual for me, so not having read the rest of the scene, can’t really say. BUT… if that’s all she wrote, so to speak… I’d have to go with no.
But I agree, hair pulling can be very hot indeed.
I read the book and do recall quite a bit of the hand fisting the hair, but don’t remember thinking he was a putz about it. So I guess HOT for me. Heh.
I guess it depends if the heroine is all for hair pulling and doesn’t mind her face in the lap.
For some reason I do find that excerpt kind of hot.
Without more context, I have to say: not hot. It seems a bit forced.
I’m reading the same book and I just got to page 358 where “she screamed, her body clamping down in a vicious spasm, spilling cinnamon candy into his waiting mouth”
What I want to know is how her vagina got full of red hots?
Not so “hot”.
Hmmm, I’d have to read more to know to make a decision.
In real life, though, I love it when DH gets all forceful like that. Not every time, but every other time, yeah, 😛
