WELCOME

July 2009

July is here?  What the heck, when did that happen?  I have been cursed with a wicked case of writer’s block and have started a number of stories but unfortunately have not gotten very far with any of them. Pray for me everyone, because I hate this feeling.  On a lighter note, I have a paid holiday for the 3rd of July and have plans to attend a pool party.  Now, I’m not exactly happy about wearing a bathing suit, but hey partying with friends is always a good time.  Everyone stay safe this Holiday and throughout the summer and hopefully by next month I’ll be telling you all about my wonderful new stories.

Their initial forays into voyeurism and exhibitionism lead to much more than Stacey could have ever dreamed. Raferty is the perfect partner when it comes to play, but she can’t help but wonder if they’d fit as well outside the bedroom.

Coming Full Circle

There’s only one bright spot Jasmine Hayes can see when she’s suckered into helping plan her high school reunion. At least she’ll be able to reconnect with old friends Chase Randolph and Alex Landry. There’s nothing she regrets more than losing touch with those two handsome guys.

Chase and Alex hadn’t planned to attend the reunion, but the chance to see Jasmine again has Chase intrigued. Alex is his best friend and love of his life, but Jasmine will always be the girl who got away.

One instant message is all it takes to center Alex’s thoughts on a lusty reunion with Jasmine. He’s extremely happy with Chase, but she’s always been the girl of his dreams. He can’t help but wonder if the chemistry the three of them had in high school is still there.

Renewing old ties, however, puts triple the strain on some old ones. The choice they face is which ones to risk severing—and which ones are worth keeping.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

See above, wonk, wonk.

RECOMMENDED READS

We’ve waited a while (Okay, you actually have to wait a little while longer because it doesn’t release until July 10th at Ellora’s Cave), but it was well worth it.  The conclusion to the Naughty Games series is a hot, satisfying read.  Enjoy!

Double Dare by Lena Matthews
Naughty Games, Book Three

Available July 10th at Ellora’s Cave!

Paige Reyes is going to kill Shane Oxley if it's the last thing she does. Not only did the cold hearted blackmailer force her to attend his 30th birthday party, he used her love for her brother to do it, giving her just one more reason to dislike him. Not that she needs it.  

No matter how just her reasons are for avoiding him, Shane still can’t let Paige go. Thanks to a risky game of Double Dare three years ago, Shane made the biggest mistake of life and lost Paige in the process. Now all he wants is an opportunity to make it right again.

The birthday surprise is on Paige though, because if one chance is all he has with her then Shane’s going to do everything he can to change her heart. The gloves are off,  and everything is fair game, the only question is, will they make the same mistake the second time around?

“I have a surprise for you.”

“What kind of surprise?” Toni asked as she rose from the bed and wrapped the cool cotton robe around her body. She secured the belt and glanced over at Deacon, who was standing in the bathroom doorway, fresh from a shower with a towel tucked around his waist. After last night, she wasn’t sure how many more spontaneous announcements from him she could handle.

“If I tell you, then it won’t be a surprise, will it?”

“Where is it?”

“That’s part of the surprise too.”

She walked over to him and slipped her arms around his neck. “When do I get my surprise?” Maybe she could seduce the information out of him.

“Soon.”

“Meanie.” With her lips pursed in a pout, she stepped back and crossed her arms over her breasts. “I wish you wouldn’t tease me with a surprise and then not deliver.”

His laughter at her mock outrage rang through the room. “No worries there, baby. I’ll deliver, no problem.” He walked around her to the dresser, glancing at his watch lying there before turning his attention back to her. “In fact, I think we’re almost ready. Turn around.”

“Why?”

“Well, I can’t have you seeing your surprise until it’s completely ready, now can I?” Deacon took a tie off the dresser and dangled it in front of her.

“Feeling a little kinky tonight, are we?”

“Tonight, tomorrow night, the night after that.”

“Dirty boy.”

“And that’s why you love me.” Without another word he stepped behind her and placed the silk tie over her eyes, fastening it at the back of her head. “Is it too tight?”

Toni had to lick her lips twice to get words to slip past them. She was nervous yet excited all at the same time. “No.”

“Good. Are you ready?” His whisper into her ear had her shivering with anticipation. Although he hadn’t suggested her surprise was anything sexual, she thought it might be. That was until he led her from the bedroom.

“Where are we going?”

“Surprise, remember.”

“Yes, but…”

“Shhh. Stop thinking so much. Tonight is all about feeling.”

They stopped for a moment and she realized she’d been so intent on listening to his words she had no idea where she was. Toni thought she remembered turning once, or was it twice? Hell, for all she knew, he had walked her in circles and they were back in the bedroom.

Deacon swept her hair away from her neck, sliding his lips sensuously over the exposed skin. “What dirty thoughts are you having? I couldn’t miss these little diamond points even if I was a blind man.”

The idea of what he might have planned for her had caused her breasts to peak in interest. His hands came up to pinch her nipples through the thin robe, causing her to squirm. He knew how much she liked that and he was deliberately teasing her.

“Well?”

She dragged her mind back to the conversation at hand. Dirty thoughts, oh yeah, she had plenty of those, especially after last night.

“Just wondering what my surprise is.”

“Is that all?” He’d slipped his hand through the opening in her robe to stroke her stomach before dipping between her legs. Not surprisingly, she was wet from their conversation and her wandering imagination. “You wouldn’t happen to be thinking about last night, would you?”

“Maybe.”

“Uh-huh, there’s no maybe about it.”

Toni squirmed in his arms as she remembered her wantonness yesterday. And he was right, she was still thinking about it. About how easy it had been to abandon all her doubts and revel in the fantasy. “You’re right, I was thinking about it.”

“Now that you’ve talked about it, does the fantasy still work for you?”

She knew exactly what he meant. In fact, she’d worried once she voiced the fantasy aloud it would no longer hold the charm it once did. Instead the opposite was true. “Oh yeah, it’s working right now.” A nervous laugh escaped her throat. “Talking about it only made the possibility…more real somehow.”

“What if I told you I was willing to fulfill your fantasy for you?”

She felt as if all the air were being sucked out of the room. Did she want that, truly? The one thing she knew for certain was this was the man she loved with all her heart, the man she was going to marry.

“I’d be a little shocked and somewhat amazed.”

“Why?”

“Most men don’t offer to share their woman.”

“Most couples are probably not as secure in their relationship as we are. This would be a one-time thing. It’s certainly not something I’d make a habit of. Besides, I wouldn’t be willing to share you with just anyone.”
