Snippet Saturday--Thrilling

This week's theme is (of course) thrilling, considering it's the month for chills and thrills. I chose a scene from So Sensitive. I hope you like it!


When she heard the pinging sound again, Gracie quickly switched over to the other line. “Hello?”

“Ms. Baron?”

“Yes, this is Ms. Baron. Can I help you?”

“This is Frank Gaetz. I’m a friend of your father’s. He asked me to call you.”

She wasn’t aware her father even had friends. Concerned now, Gracie asked, “My father?”

“Yes, ma’am. He’s been in an accident. It’s pretty bad.”

Gracie paled. “Oh, God. Where is he?”

 “He’s at Saint Mary’s Hospital.”

Saint Mary’s was just a few blocks away. “I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Gracie slammed her phone shut and shot out of her chair. After grabbing her purse from beneath the desk, Gracie headed toward the elevator. She stopped short when she realized she had no ride. Damn! Wade was her ride, and he wasn’t due for another hour. Gracie looked around the office and spotted her boss, Marie, explaining something to a coworker. She headed toward her. “Marie?” The gray-haired woman looked up and smiled. “Can I talk to you for a second?”

“Sure, Gracie.” Marie closed the distance between them. “What do you need?”

“I just received a call. My dad’s been in an accident.” Gracie’s hands shook as she thought of her father lying helpless in a hospital bed. He might be a drunk, but he was still her father.

“Oh, no!”

“I need to go to him, but I don’t have a car. I hate to trouble you—” Gracie stopped midsentence. She hated to ask the woman for a favor after she’d been generous enough to give her the time off after the accident. But what choice did she have?

Marie held her hand in the air. “Think nothing of it. Just let me grab my keys.”

Gracie stopped her before she could rush off to her office. “You have that conference call at noon with those suppliers. You can’t miss that, it’s much too important.”

Marie frowned. “Shoot, I forgot about that.”

“If I could just borrow your car? Normally I wouldn’t ask, but I’m really worried about my dad.”

“Of course, Gracie. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself. Let me get my keys. Be right back.”   

Gracie watched her hurry off. Grateful all over again for having such an understanding boss. When Marie came rushing back to her, handing the keys over, she said, “Will can swing by and get me, go ahead and keep it until morning.”

“Thanks, Marie. I’ll take very good care of it, I promise.”

Marie tsked. “You’re the most reliable person I know, Gracie. I’m not worried.”

Gracie smiled and thanked her again, then headed for the elevator. She hit the down button and waited. The elevator doors opened another man was inside, but she barely noticed him. Her mind was on her father. The last she’d heard her father didn’t have a license. So, how could he have been in an accident? As an afterthought, Gracie sent Wade a quick text, explaining where she was headed.

Gone to St. Mary’s. Dad’s been in an accident.

As the doors opened, Gracie tucked her phone into her purse and sprinted across the parking lot, easily locating Marie’s black BMW. Just as she hit the Unlock button, a hand closed over her mouth. A sweet-smelling odor filled her mouth and nostrils. She tried to scream, but no sound came out. Gracie reached into her purse, hoping to grab the mace Wade had insisted she carry that morning, but the words filling her ears sent a chill down her spine, freezing her in place.

“I’m very disappointed in you, Gracie Lynn. I thought after that last lesson I was forced to teach you that you’d be more circumspect in the company you keep.”

No, it couldn’t be. Gracie struggled harder, kicking out with her legs, using her fingernails to claw at the hand clasped tightly over her mouth and nose. She heard him curse, but he didn’t release her. She fought harder, tried to kick him in the shin, but her legs felt like rubber. What was wrong with her? Suddenly, her vision blurred. Oh, God, he’d drugged her. Gracie felt herself being lifted into the air, and then there was nothing but darkness.

Pleasure Bound--Erotic Excerpt!

And now something for all of you folks who take the time to read my blog. Psst, have ice water handy! LOL

Exclusive ADULT excerpt from Pleasure Bound:

Barnes & Noble | Amazon | Borders | Books A Million | Kindle | Nook

Jonas stayed in place for several seconds after her orgasm ended, as if relishing the little aftershocks. Then he lifted his head.

“You are so fucking beautiful when you come,” he murmured.

Amen, was all Deanna could think as she let her eyes drift closed. Then his weight lifted and Deanna opened them again. She watched him stand beside the bed, staring down at her with some unnamed emotion on his face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

He crooked his finger and grinned wolfishly at her. “Come over here, kitten.”

Deanna rolled to her side and sat up. When she stood and went to him, Jonas placed his hand on the small of her back and directed her across the room. He stopped her when she reached the dresser. The mirror. As she stared at her reflection, heat flooded her cheeks. Her gaze shot to his. His guttural words turned her legs to jelly.

“I’m going to make you come again. Only this time, you’ll see what I see.”

“I’m not sure I can, not like this.”

“You can,” he whispered; then he dipped his head to the side and kissed her nape. As if he’d pulled a string, Deanna began to climb that same cliff all over again.

Jonas slid his hands up and down her arms, teasing goose bumps to the surface. Deanna forgot her trepidations and simply sank into the moment. With her eyes open, she watched Jonas move his lips lower, until he was behind her. He was totally out of view now, but she felt his mouth against her shoulder blades. Deanna’s body hummed to life as he kissed and licked. “God, I had no idea.”

“Mmm, what?”

“That shoulders could be such a hot spot.”

“Only with my mouth,” he growled. “No other.”

Deanna let the possessive statement go for one reason only--because she knew deep down that if any woman chose to put her mouth on any part of Jonas’s body, Deanna would go postal.

Her body jolted when Jonas’s mouth came into contact with her bottom. She could only assume he was on his knees as he stroked the seam of her buttocks with his tongue. His talented hands massaged and fondled her ass cheeks. Deanna leaned forward and braced her hands on the top of the dresser, then shuddered when he parted her.

“Spread your legs for me. Nice and wide.”

Deanna did as he bid, but only barely. She just wasn’t as open, as uninhibited as he was.

Thankfully, Jonas seemed to understand her nervousness, because he didn’t press the issue. His tongue caressed her again, moving slowly between her thighs to her swollen labia. He separated her and dipped in, piercing her entrance in fast, stabbing motions. So much sensation, it’d never been this way. He made her feel alive with a few clever touches.

“Such a pretty ass and pussy. Let me see more, kitten. I won’t hurt you. Please, for me.”

That’s when Deanna knew the scary truth. That she’d do anything for him. Giving up all sense of modesty, she widened her stance. He hummed his approval and was there again, sucking at her clitoris and taking her over that jagged edge. She happily soared higher and higher as his tongue probed and his lips brushed and tormented. Deanna shouted Jonas’s name as he tugged her nubbin with his teeth. She went up in flames, pushing backward against his face, achingly aware of his hard, calloused hands holding her hips still. As he kissed her pussy and licked her tight, pink anus, her legs nearly buckled.

In an instant, he was standing again, his body molding to the length of hers as he stared at her in the mirror. “You tear me up, Deanna. Goddamn, I want you.”

“Then take me, Jonas,” she choked out.

Snippet Saturday--Workplace

It's Snippet Saturday time. I'm sorry to say life got crazy and I missed the last two Saturdays. Crazy how, you say? Well, for one we found out that my mom is now CANCER FREE! Great news, huh?
Also, I'm on a tight deadline and not nearly done with my book. So, that has me busy, busy, busy. :)

The theme this time around is 'workplace'. I chose a scene from Tempting Grace. I love the all relationships in this story. It's the last of my Vaughn series and this couple is special to me because of that. I hope you enjoy this scene!



Read an Excerpt | Buy on ~ MBaM | Kindle | Nook | Fictionwise | Borders

It was all Jackson could do not to laugh as he watched Grace stalk out of Merrick’s office. He’d gotten to her, and she was running scared. It was only a matter of time now. He’d been lusting after the little blonde imp from the moment he’d spotted her at one of Merrick’s family’s cookouts. He’d tried the subtle approach, but that had gotten him exactly nowhere. She’d shot him down like a clay pigeon. The more he’d gotten to know her, the more he’d come to realize that Grace used sarcasm to keep people at arm’s length. Especially him. She was damned good at holding him off. Jackson was getting desperate. If he didn’t get her to submit soon, he’d explode.

“Quit thinking about her.”

Merrick’s voice dragged him back to reality. “I wasn’t,” Jackson lied.

Merrick rolled his eyes and sat back in his chair. “What the hell is it with you two? I can’t figure it. It’s as if you like fighting with her.”

“The truth?”

“No, I’d rather you lied to me,” Merrick ground out. “Yes, I want the truth.”

“Just remember, you asked,” he warned. “Fighting with Grace is like foreplay. It turns us both on. She wants me as much as I want her. She just can’t seem to let her guard down long enough to let me in. I’ve yet to figure out why.” He leaned forward in the chair and said, “Maybe you can help me with that one.”

Merrick shook his head. “You are aware that I’m not only her cousin, but your boss, right?”

Jackson recognized Merrick in overprotective mode. But Jackson had no intention of staying away from Grace, now or ever. “Is this the part where you warn me away?”

“Grace is my employee, and I protect my employees. You’re in dangerous territory, flirting with her. Sexual harassment isn’t something I take lightly, Jackson.”

Jackson went rigid. “Did she say I sexually harassed her?”

“That’s not the point. The point is I protect what’s mine.”

“I would never hurt Grace.”

“But you are making her uncomfortable, and I can’t have that. Either back off or I’ll move her to a different position.”

Merrick had just tossed down the gauntlet. If Jackson pushed the issue he could lose Grace and probably his job, not to mention his friendship with Merrick. Still, he wasn’t about to make a promise he knew damn well he couldn’t keep. Jackson rubbed his jaw and decided to lay it all on the line.

“This isn’t a game to me. I care about your cousin. You can fire me, pull Grace under your wing or whatever, but I won’t stop pursuing her until she tells me to stop.”

Merrick slammed his fist on the desk. “What the hell is up with you? I’ve never seen you act like this. You’ve never dated an employee. Why Grace?”

Jackson had wondered that himself. “She’s the most annoying woman I’ve ever met. She tells me to go to hell and I get a fucking hard-on. She threatens to maim me and I start drooling. Damned if I can figure it out. But until I do, I won’t let up. She wants me, she’s just fighting it. I scare her.” Jackson rubbed his jaw and thought for a second. “No, that’s not right. I think the idea of being with me scares her.”

“Grace doesn’t scare easily,” Merrick mused. “But you’re right. She’s been watching you like a caged lioness. If you aren’t careful, she’ll have you for lunch. Grace can be damned mean when cornered.”

It was now or never. Time to make a deal with the devil. “I have a solution. One that will please everyone.”

Merrick drummed his fingers on the desk for several seconds before saying, “I’m listening.”

“The Interop Convention in Vegas is coming up,” Jackson stated, referring to the nation’s biggest information technology convention. Businesses from all over the world attended to view new cutting-edge technologies. It was May, and the convention was a week away. “I want to take Grace with me when I go. If she’s still resisting my irresistible charms after that, I’ll back off.”

“You and Grace in Las Vegas for a week? You think I’ll agree to this?”

“I think you want Grace to be happy. I think you want harmony back in your office. Let me take Grace to Vegas. Not the whole week. Three days, that’s all I’m asking, and I promise you’ll have both.”

Merrick got out of the chair and paced. Jackson was almost afraid he was going to fire his ass right then. He had every right too. Jackson was surprised when Merrick said, “If Grace wants to go, I won’t stop her. But it’s her choice, not yours. You won’t force her because you’re her boss. Understood?”

Jackson said a silent prayer that Grace wouldn’t fight him on this one. “Understood.”

Merrick came around the desk and leaned against the edge. “One more thing.”

Jackson stood, sensing a battle coming. “Yeah?”

“Grace is like a sister to me, to Blade and Lacey too. I’d be very careful with her if I were you.”

He nodded. “I know how close you all are, but this is between Grace and me.”

Merrick crossed his arms over his chest. “Grace is all grown up now. Chloe says she can take care of herself, but that doesn’t mean I won’t kick your ass if you make her cry. Remember that while you’re trying to sweet talk her into going to Sin City with you.”

Jackson laughed. “Hold off on buying the tar and feathers until after I get back, will ya? I wouldn’t want you to waste your money.”

Merrick shook his head. “You have to get her to agree to the trip first. I’m not so convinced you’ve got what it takes.”

“We’ll see.”

“Yeah, we will.”

***

Bcause this week's theme is author's choice, I decided to pick something super hot. And I couldn't think of any hotter scene than the one in Body Rush between Lydia and her three doms. I hope you have something cold to drink because you're going to need it, lol.


Lydia glanced up. Witnessing the dark arousal on Zeus and Apollo‘s faces had her own body coiled as tight as a spring. "You need to come again, don‘t you?" Apollo asked, as he stroked her lower lip with his thumb. "This time we‘ll be buried inside of you when you do."

"Come here, sweet girl," Poseidon growled from his position behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see him lying on his back on the bed, his legs spread. His cock jutted away from his body, the veins pulsing with vitality. Lydia turned around and before she could lose her nerve, straddled his thighs. Within seconds he had her spread out on top of him, his mouth covering hers. She couldn‘t think, couldn‘t move. Poseidon‘s lips were different from Apollo‘s, softer, fuller. They were pressed to hers, his tongue in her mouth, playing and teasing with the flesh of her bottom lip. She melted against his hard strength. As his powerful arms came around her shoulders, holding her tight, Lydia sighed and surrendered to him. His tongue scoured her mouth, taking immediate possession of her, sucking at her tongue.

Another pair of large, masculine hands moved down her back to cup her ass. A sharp swat had her yelping and scrambling to get away. Poseidon held her still, his voice soft and soothing against her ear. "Shh, it‘s okay."

She frowned down at him. "Someone just hit me, it‘s definitely not okay!" She heard a chuckle and whipped around. "It‘s not funny," she ground out between clenched teeth as she glared at Apollo.

"Don‘t be so skittish, baby. A spanking can be damned pleasurable."




Apollo‘s gravelly voice shouldn‘t have been so damn sexy, but as she lay there trapped in Poseidon‘s arms and surrounded by three muscular male bodies, she couldn‘t quite bring herself to stay angry with him. "Then let me swat your ass," she muttered, hoping to sound indignant. Judging by the twin grins on Apollo and Zeus‘ faces she‘d failed miserably.

"Spank a Dom?" Apollo asked, his voice teasing. "I don‘t think so, little Lydia. You‘re the sub, remember?"

Poseidon reached up and grabbed a handful of her hair, forcing her to look at him. His tender gaze relaxed her a measure. "I think you need to let us please you, sweet girl." This time when his lips covered hers, they weren‘t gentle. In fact, he all but demanded entrance. Lydia obeyed. In her soul she knew she‘d do nearly anything for these three men, the notion sent a bolt of fear licking through her. No one should wield that much power.

And now check out these other authors' blogs to see what they have in store for ya!
