Smokin' Hot Excerpt!

Today I figured I'd heat things up with a hot excerpt from "Body Rush". In this scene, Roni is learning that sometimes giving up control is a good thing. Hell, a great thing! :)

I hope you like it!

A quick note to let you all know I'm giving away a copy of What She Craves, my m/f/m nenage that comes out Dec. 14th. Come over to Closetreader to see how to enter!

WARNING: ADULT EXCERPT


“You’re a slob, Dr. Smart.”

Roni took in the messy surroundings. Clothes were strewn everywhere, her dresser was a chaotic mishmash of makeup, spray bottles and...damn, was that a coffee cup? It was a ridiculous mess. Still, she was glad she’d managed to talk him into coming home with her, instead of the other way around. “It’s the way I live, deal with it.”

“I bet you say that to all the guys,” he whispered as he continued removing her clothing.

Oh, god, they were moving too fast and she knew it. He’d already shucked his clothes and now he was helping Roni out of hers. Roni couldn’t seem to put a stop to it. Something about Jake pulled at her. He didn’t treat her like she would break. He pushed and demanded and Roni loved it. She’d never let a man take such control. She’d even begun to suspect she was incapable of letting down her defenses long enough to ever have a normal relationship. She’d discovered pretty quickly that going to Kinks afforded her the luxury of being herself. There were no expectations. She could act on her desires and there were no consequences.

As she stood in her bedroom, allowing Jake to undress her as if she were a small child, Roni discovered a new kind of pleasure. When he removed her bra, leaving a pair of white silk panties covering her from his view, Roni was nearly ready to surrender and let Jake run the show.

As he slid the scrap of silk down her legs, Roni suddenly felt a bout of shyness overcome her. When he didn’t stand back up to take her to the bed, she frowned. “What are you doing?”

On his knees, his face mere inches from her pussy, he stared up at her. “I’m looking.”

Her clit throbbed as she watched him lick his lips. Jake leaned forward and kissed her drenched curls tenderly, forcing her to reach out and clutch his shoulders for support. His talented mouth lingered, licking up and down between her swollen folds. Roni whimpered and dug her fingers into the powerful muscles of his shoulders.

“Oh, god, Jake.” Roni didn’t know what to do. A storm brewed inside her and she needed to control it. To rein it in. As his arms wrapped around her hips and he cuddled her bottom, Roni tried to wriggle free. She ached to open her thighs, to give him better access. But he was too strong and he wasn’t budging.

“Let me play, baby,” he cajoled, his voice rough with passion. “I need to savor this hot little cunt for a bit.”

Who was she to deny the man? As he sank his tongue in, laving at her, Roni’s knees nearly buckled. She would’ve fallen had he not been holding her in his firm embrace. When his talented mouth found her clitoris, the tremors built inside her by slow degrees. Little ripples moved through her, gaining momentum as he sucked at her clit and licked her pussy.

Roni couldn’t take much more of the pleasurable torture. She sank her fingers into his hair and pulled hard enough to gain his attention. His gaze darkened, turned savage, as he pulled back and looked at her. Roni wouldn’t be deterred by his feral expression. “Finger fuck me, Jake,” she demanded, “Do it now.”

Without warning, Jake released her and stood. She would have fallen on her ass had he not steadied her. When she was about to order him back on his knees, he only slung her around and brought his palm down hard on the sensitive flesh of her ass.

“Ow! That hurt, damn it!”

“Next time we fuck, you can order me to do your bidding,” he gritted out. “This time you’re mine.”

“I told you before I’m a Dominatrix,” she bit out. “I like to be in control.”

He swatted her again on the other cheek. “You got your way when you insisted we come back to your place instead of mine. Now hush and let me play. You’ll get your turn.”

It wasn’t in Roni’s nature to hold her tongue. She’d never been good at it. “I’ll take my turn now.” She tried to turn but his hands gripping her hips were too strong.

“You were doing fine, baby. Why the sudden change?”

“It’s not rocket science, Jake. I want to come, it’s that simple.”

His hot breath against her ear had her pussy creaming. “Let me take you there then. Stop fighting me.”

Could she let him have control? She turned and looked at him. “I’ll get my chance later?”

He smiled. “I promise, princess.”

“Princess?”

He looked her over and groaned. “A pretty, stubborn, blonde princess.”

She bit her lip and contemplated the merits of giving into Jake. He wanted to pleasure her in his own way. It wasn’t exactly a hardship to let the man take over. “Okay.”

Gently, he kissed her lips. “You won’t regret it.”

When he stepped backward, Roni let her gaze drift over his muscular chest, then on down to his hard cock. “I know,” she murmured.



***



Jake held Roni’s gaze as he slowly lowered himself to his knees in front of her. Her eyes rounded, and there was a fire he hadn’t seen in them before. “I want to taste this pretty pussy.” She started to protest, but in the end stayed silent and let him have his way. Knowing she was willing to relinquish control melted his heart. Instinctively, Jake knew Roni rarely gave a man control.

He licked his lips and stared at the glistening golden curls covering paradise. “I bet you taste like heaven. A slice of sweet honeyed heaven.”

Her cheeks bloomed pink and her eyes darkened. The soft light on the bedside table lent to the sensuality of the moment. “Would you like my tongue on your clit, Roni?”

“Yes,” she groaned.

Jake leaned in and kissed the little nub. “Say please, pretty baby.”

“Please, damn you!”

He chuckled. “Not quite what I had in mind, but it’ll do.” Jake clutched onto her thighs and tugged her forward. She moaned his name and it fueled his own raging need. With her body so close, Jake could smell her arousal. Christ, he was starved for her.

“You’re so goddamn sexy. Sexy and wet and ready.”

“Jake,” she muttered, “I’m dying here.”

As she held onto his shoulders, sharp nails digging into flesh and muscle, Jake knew he’d never forget this moment as long as he lived.

The need in her quivery voice urged him on. “Put your leg over my shoulder.”

She was unsteady but eager as she did as he instructed. The position put the apex of her thighs directly in his face. It was a major turn-on. She looked a little bit awkward and wobbly. Jake cupped her ass and squeezed, then kissed her clit. “I want your juice on my tongue. I’m going to really enjoy licking you dry, Roni.”

He spread her open with his thumbs and exposed her hot little cunt. When he leaned in and licked her slit, Jake tasted pure, feminine heat. He ached for more, to drown in her liquid desire. His tongue delved inside her opening as his hands clasped onto her bottom, bringing her closer. Jake was suddenly swept away on a sea of desire as emotions rocked his body and tore at his heart and soul. He sank deeper, his cock throbbing as Roni’s inner muscles clenched around him. Her fingers moved to his hair and she pulled him forward, forcing him to bury his head in her wet pussy.

“Your tongue, Jake,” she moaned, “I need more of your tongue, please.”

He gave in and flicked his tongue over and around her clit, relishing the needy sounds Roni made. Her thighs started to quiver and her body began to spasm out of control. Jake tongue-fucked her, sinking in and out of her dewy heat as if starved. Without warning, Roni shuddered and screamed, her juice pouring into his hungry mouth.

He lapped at her several times, eager to swallow every drop of her passion, before he pulled his mouth off her. Roni slumped over him. The feel of her soft curves, leaning on him for support filled him with masculine pride. In this single moment, Roni appeared vulnerable and trusting. It pulled at Jake to see her so open to him. He gently kissed her swollen nub one more time, then pushed her away enough so he could stand. He slipped one arm behind her back and the other behind her knee before lifting her into his arms. After he placed her on the bed, he stepped back. Her quick breathing and heavy-lidded eyes had every one of his possessive instincts kicking in. Damn, she was beautiful. He didn’t know what tomorrow would bring, but in that moment he vowed they would be sharing more than a single night together. No way in hell would he be letting her slip through his fingers now that he’d had a taste of sweet heaven.

A Poetry Day

For today I thought I'd share a few poems with you all. I've written thousands of them. These are just a few. They aren't perfect. They aren't published. They're just glimpses inside my heart and soul. I hope you enjoy them!

Womanhood


A smile of secrecy
with a curving of lips.
At peculiar little moments
I'm taken there again. I giggle.

Giving away details--
my body tells the tale.
Still, I stare into the mirror,
Seeing only the fair. I giggle.

Pain II


Pain crashes and zings through my veins,
crawling along my flesh
only to skitter up my legs, in evil glee.

My fingers, swollen and numb,
and yet zap and tap and here I go anyway,
keeping the feeling alive.

My skin continues to flame,
burying my brain in hurt, and so fresh
are these tears of my nervous twitches.

Still, on I'll tread,
in fiery painful gasps
walking and thinking, typing and writing.

Breathing are the skitters under my skin,
keeping the burn in my brain
so agonizingly fresh and new!

The Delicious Rambling Thoughts of a Woman


These thoughts mixing inside my head
I know they aren't to be and still...
I can't help but feel the feeling;
be the dream inside your soul
and stir those parts of you.

I want and wish and I'll kiss
the dew from you, and I'll dip
my lips, and then smile prettiest
without a care, but to share your very air!

Breathing you in and sucking you deep,
and keeping you chained to my soul;
in the hopes that someday, you'll
touch my body and drink of my passionate
well of desire.

Pay witness to my submission kind sir,
and watch these clothes pool around my feet.
I'll step to you, bow for you,
and drift with you so sweet.

I ache and you're my cure-
I need you as I need sustenance.
I'll quench of you, but still
it shall never be enough,
for I'm insatiable and unappeasable
for the tongue that licks my mind
and my breasts alike!

I turn and sway, swish and play,
giving way to my joy and let you
do as you please, and on my knees
in the front of you, I'll pay homage
to the essence of your nature!

For the heat that rises off your loins
shall be my rising tide.
I need those tastes and flavors
that your body drips onto me.

And can't you see that no one else
will do for me?

A Portrait


Creamy smooth,
skin-- a milky ivory. Blooms
of thighs and breasts;
shaped by motherhood.

Brushed 'til shone,
hair-- rich in browns.
Lengthy mane made
radiant with care.

Laugh lined,
face-- softened by joy.
Flushed in naivety,
though all-knowing.

Warm delicate,
hands and body-- tender.
Strengthened by nurturing
her famiglia.


Upon the Question of Age


Ah, but the mind is ageless
in its constant and beautiful
stream of wisdom!

Conjuring up ideas and thoughts
at a single instant,
slamming them onto the paper,
so as not to let those
perfectly slanting syllables
turn into past remembrances.

As surely they shall drift off into
the minds darkened corridors.
Never to be heard from again,
as they’ll only see their
own crowded and mirrored image.

Ageless mentality,
and never you mind the idea of years.
Based upon man's frail
idea of counting
the ticks of the clock...

Tick-tock, tick-tock
and into infinity we'll flow.
Ah, but the words of the mind shall
be forever etched onto the
parchment of our squishy brain!

All I’ve Got


If I were an artist...
I could never paint the maleness of you

If I were a photographer...
I could never capture the vitality you exude

If I were a singer...
I could never imitate such whispery tune

If I were a carver...
I could never cut those angles I view

So, I shall scribble out the words, again
Telling you what my body goes through

So, I shall lay them upon your pillow, again
Telling you my affection is ever true.

and finally...

Skid Marks
(Dedicated to M.A.D.D.)

A second, a minute, a day,
Out of time,
That's all it'll take,
For this kind of crime.

No way to undo,
No way to regain,
No way to take back,
An ounce of their pain.

The thinking comes in,
Before you've sipped,
Before the fun,
And before you get ripped.

Because once your numb mind,
Rounds the bend,
You'll likely kill a mother, a son,
Or maybe a friend.

Have you ever seen,
A handsome young thing,
All bloodied, mangled,
And eyes unseeing?

His innocence stolen,
His fate's been sealed,
His ravaged body,
From the car he's peeled.

And as a mother grieves,
For her loving son,
Over a grave that says,
"He was the only one".

Think twice before,
You take that drink,
Six feet under,
Is how low you'll sink.

Skid marks on the pavement,
In time will fade,
But Skid marks on the heart,
Are eternally made.

My Birthday

So, yesterday was my 43rd birthday (oy!). My husband surprised me by taking the day off work. He’s such a sneak! We headed into town and had a nice breakfast at Bob Evan's Restaurant, and then spent a pretty wonderful day alone together. However, before all that my husband and daughters woke me and told me happy birthday, then handed me my present.

First, chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. A huge Belgium chocolate bar, a pretty red and gold box that has little fudge-filled chocolate truffles inside, a ½ lb. chocolate bar with pistachios, and an entire bag of assorted chocolates that had three different flavors: dark chocolate with espresso, milk chocolate with mocha, and a creamy latte flavored chocolate. Last but not, least a yummy Symphony bar. Yeah, my family knows what I like. LOL

Then I got to the last box. It was brown and rather plain. I couldn't imagine what they'd bought me. I opened it only to find a printed out picture that looked a lot like the brand new Nookcolor. Wait, what?! I had to look at my husband for confirmation. He nodded and I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the floor. It’s to be delivered next Friday, as it’s not even out yet! I CANNOT wait! *grin* 

Then around noonish, I got a delivery. Flowers. My sweet sweet Aunt Lorie sent me a gorgeous arrangement that came all the way from Hawaii! I teared up when I saw them. Below is a picture, but it's not very good. We had to take it with my daughter's cell phone because our digital isn't working. Anyway, aren't they pretty?! 

Later in the afternoon my oldest brother called. Oh, he got me but good this year. He left me a message on my machine that said (and I quote): ‘Sissy, put the razor down! Step away from the razor! You aren’t that old!’ The brat! LOL! I told him I’m buying him a walker for his birthday next year (he’s 3 years older than me). :P

My niece called and sang me happy birthday, which was super sweet of her. And both my girls texted me from school to ask if I’d been having a good day. I texted back, “I ate a huge sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast, had Starbucks afterward, then came home and took a nap with Nutmeg (our dog). Best day ever!”

I ended up with over 300 birthday wishes on Facebook and also got phone calls from family and friends. On Friday, my mom is taking me shopping and to lunch. I'll tell ya, I feel very blessed!

Thank you ALL for making my birthday so very special! :)

Are You Ready For Christmas?

I admit, Christmas is easily my favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The house all decorated with the many decorations we've collected over the years, the happy smiles from my kids when they see the presents under the tree on Christmas morning.

I also love spending time with my brothers and their better halves. Going to my mom's and feeling all the warmth and love as we sit down to eat, everyone joking and teasing with each other. We don't get together very often these days. It's hard because we're all grown and we all have our own lives. But when we do it's a good time for all of us.

The other day my daughter wanted to turn on the radio station that plays Christmas music 24/7. At first, I was hesitant. I mean, Thanksgiving isn't even here yet! But as soon as Bing Crosby started singing about a White Christmas I was a goner. All those warm memories came flooding back and I was instantly ready to shop and decorate!

When I was a kid Christmas was a magical time. My brother would come in and wake me up and whisper to me that Santa came. We'd head out to the family room and see the presents and just sit in awe, almost too excited to stay still. Now that I'm a mother my joy comes from seeing that same wide-eyed wonder on my daughters' faces. They're in their teens now, but Christmas is still a magical time for them. We have our little traditions and it makes me smile. There's nothing better than seeing a smile on your child's face, is there?

No, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. We're a ways off from getting the tree out of the basement. Present one hasn't even been bought yet. Still, that doesn't mean I can't start getting excited! :)

Friday Excerpt!

Sorry I haven't blogged this week. Been busy writing!

So, I decided to pick a HOT excerpt for ya.

This is from my 3rd Vaughn story, Taking Chloe. In this scene, Merrick and Chloe have just arrived in Hawaii and Chloe is trying to get a shower so they can go out to dinner. Merrick has other plans though! *grin* 

WARNING: Adult Excerpt!

“Because I want to, damn it, that’s why.”

Chloe rolled her eyes at Merrick’s reason for wanting to shower with her. “It would be faster if you’d just let me finish.”

“I’m not leaving, so deal with it.”

“We’re never going to get to dinner if you don’t leave, Merrick.”

“Fuck dinner. I want to wash you, so scoot over. Besides, let’s not forget the deal. I’m in charge.”

“Yes, you’re in charge…of our fun. This is a shower.”

“And a shower can be mighty fun.”

Chloe wasn’t sure why she continued to resist. As husband and wife they’d showered together hundreds of times. This time it seemed so different, as if it were the first time. A virgin on prom night would be less jumpy, for crying out loud!

“Fine, but if we don’t make our reservations, don’t blame me.”

His grin was one of pure male arrogance. “Duly noted.”

Chloe tried not to drool when Merrick yanked his shirt off and tossed it to the bathroom floor. As he undid the fly of his jeans and slid them and his black boxers down his powerful thighs, she gave up on maintaining control all together. God, he was gorgeous. His muscled behind faced her, and if she leaned toward him a few inches, she could take a bite out of his delicious flesh. He straightened and turned toward her. His cock was huge. As she watched, it seemed to get even bigger. As her gaze snared his, he grinned. She lit up like a Christmas tree.

“Those pretty eyes are devouring me right now, babe.”

She pushed her wet hair behind her shoulder and tried not to let his sweet, hard body get to her…too much.

“I can’t help if I like what I see.”

“I like what I see, too. A lot,” he growled.

He stepped into the tub with her. Chloe moved to the side to give him room. He was twice her size and he took up most of the tub. Not that she was complaining. She couldn’t remember the last time her husband had taken the time to shower with her. Too long. Much too long.

“You’re so beautiful, Chloe. Inside and out.”

His words and the sincerity behind them filled her heart with warmth. “You haven’t told me that for a very long time. It’s nice to hear compliments from you.”

He slid the backs of his fingers down her wet arm, leaving little goose bumps in his wake. “You make me want to slay dragons and shower you with diamonds,” he murmured. “I’m sorry I’ve been so wrapped up in work. I need to explain about that, but first I want to show you how much I’ve missed you. May I?”

He’d melted her completely. She’d become a useless puddle of pudding at his feet.

“Yes,” she capitulated, “I think I’d like that very much.”

He placed two fingers against her lips. “Shh, it’s okay, baby. We’re going to take our time, go real slow. I have a need to experience my wife to the fullest tonight.”

She removed his fingers and asked, “What about dinner?” She didn’t really care about food, but she should at least ask, for his sake.

“Screw dinner,” he muttered.

As his mouth came crashing down on hers, Chloe fell against him, relishing the sensation of her nipples against the solid wall of his chest. At once he was everywhere, his arms sturdy and protective around her. He cupped her ass in his palms, lifted and pulled her tighter against his lethal strength. His hands squeezed, and she laughed. “Merrick, that tickles!”

“I know. Thought I’d forgotten, huh?”

Chloe feared he’d forgotten a lot of things about her, but she didn’t want to reveal so much of her inner turmoil. “Well, you must admit it’s not your typical ticklish spot.”

“There’s not a damn thing typical about your ass, Chloe. It’s sexy as hell.” He squeezed her flesh again, and she let loose a string of giggles. “When you giggle like that it turns me on like you wouldn’t believe.”

She liked the thought of Merrick turned on because of her. “What else turns you on?” she prompted.

“The cleft in your chin,” he easily answered. His tongue came out and touched the little indentation. Her body flooded with liquid heat.

“Is that all?” she managed between pants.

“The length of your neck. You have a regal bearing, and your neck just begs to be kissed and nibbled.”

He proceeded to prove his point by angling his head and teasing the side of her neck with his lips. He slid her wet hair out of the way and skimmed his tongue up and down her flesh, directly over her vein. He bit down and her pussy pulsed and swelled with need. Her hands clutched at his shoulders, fingernails biting into flesh and muscle. She closed her eyes and gave herself over to the moment. His mouth drifted lower, sliding over the tops of her breasts. When he kissed each nipple with tender affection, her legs shook with anticipation.

“The bellhop eyed your sweet tits like a mocha latte. Pissed me off,” he gritted out. “But I have to admit, the kid has a good eye. You do look delicious, baby.”

and my inspiration for Merrick:

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Cell Phones with Remote Start

So, today is usually my Thursday Thirteen, but I'd like to talk about cell phones instead.

Once upon a time, phones were used for talking. For instance, you could call your cousin who lives three states away and have a nice with her/him. Phones were used for emergencies. If your child fell and broke her/his leg you could call 911 and have an ambulance there in a jiffy. Then along came car phones. Remember the first ones? The big bulky black box and cord? Companies tweaked and tweaked until now we have a small device that fits in our palm. We can still call our cousins and dial 911, but that's minor compared to what else cell phones are used for.

For instance, you can download ebooks. Have a boring doctor's visit? Bring your phone and read the latest hot romance story instead of those boring outdated magazines doctor's offices always carry. You can connect to the internet and chat with your Facebook/Twitter buddies. You can search google and do some online shopping. Not sure where you are? Just bring up your navigations system on your phone and get directions in the blink of an eye. Is it cold outside and you don't want to trek out there to start your ice-covered car? Just press a button on your handy dandy cell phone and voila! The car starts all by itself!

As I was watching an ad for the latest and greatest Droid, I had to ask myself, 'what did we ever do without cell phones?'

So, I'm curious. What sort of phone do you have? My husband just got a Droid and he loves it. Hell, I love it! I want one! My phone is old and outdated and I'm ready for a new one. But I'm not sure which one to get. Any recommendations?

Hump Day Hunks!

Sorry I'm late with the hunks! It's another busy writing day!

I've been to the beach, but never once have I seen something this cute wash ashore. lol

 

Yum. Nuff said.

I've never been big on nipple rings on a guy...til now. ;-)

And for today's Hunk Quote I've snagged a scene from Body Rush, out now with Kensington.

Hunter Trace has been coming to Jeanette's coffee shop for six months, but it was never the coffee he craved.

"You run a good business. In the few months I‘ve been coming in I‘ve noticed an increase in customers."

"Thanks. I know coffee shops are a dime a dozen, but it‘s my hope that when you mix quality with friendly service word gets around."

He pointed at the large menu hanging behind the counter. "I‘m ashamed to admit I‘ve never eaten here. Guess I‘m not big on Danishes."

"Ah, but I do more than Danishes. In fact you really should try my double-chocolate brownies. You‘ll change your mind."

He chuckled. "Not that you‘re bragging or anything, right?"

Her chin lifted. "It‘s not bragging if it‘s the truth."

Hunter folded his hands on the table and leaned forward. "I don‘t know. Brownies don‘t do much for me."

"Double-chocolate," she stated, as if he hadn‘t heard her correctly the first time. "Everyone loves double-chocolate."

"How about I come back at closing time?" He let his voice drop to a whisper. "You can show me what I‘ve been missing."

Her gaze drifted to his lips and stayed there. "You‘re hitting on me," she murmured. Her tongue swiped at her lower lip and Hunter‘s cock flexed in his jeans.

Mmm, lick it, baby. "Yeah, I am," he growled.

Bargaining over goods with a middleman isn’t exactly his strong suit. But who in his right mind spends an entire salvage job’s profits on a woman, even if she has a body built for sin and eyes so fathomless a man could lose himself in them? He must be getting soft.

Once Kraft realizes Jace expects only the “cook” part of their cook-whore contract, she sets out to change his antiquated ideas about women. A challenge she relishes, especially if it earns her the freedom and money to get her own ship. Her big mistake is letting down her guard.

Shameless flirting only intensifies the itch to ride Jace hard and put him away wet—several times. It’s an itch it would be dangerous to scratch. Exposing her heart could reveal her secret, one that the still-grieving Jace must never know…or showing her mercy will be the last thing on his mind.

Warning: Contains a celibate ship captain who can’t abide swearing, a kick-ass woman with a marshmallow heart, a motley crew of misfits, interstellar battles, thwarted groping, sensual seduction, and a total bastard who owns his own planet.
