Hello! Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday. I”ll be working on the second book in my Club Blind series soon and it will star Candy. Her boss is the heroine from Untangle Me. So, I’m sharing a scene from that book when the hero brings the heroine flowers. Aw. Happy Valentine’s Day!
These 7 paragraphs are from the first chapter in Untangle Me. Seth arrives at Ivy’s place of business to thank her for planning his event. I’ll let you guess who is more nervous. Enjoy!
He noticed her legs first, then the pencil skirt, the rich red of her silk blouse, and finally her curious brown eyes. She was gorgeous. He often dated women younger than himself, and it never seemed to bother anyone, and he really hoped it didn’t bother Ivy. He was becoming anxious to know her better. Their more than fifteen-year age difference was nothing to worry about. With a strong grip, he held out the vase, hoping they would convey what he couldn’t say at the moment.
“Thank you.” She smiled politely and took the vase from him. “I see you’ve remembered our bet.” She pointed to the dollar he’d had folded in place of the card and stuck in among the flowers.
“You got lucky, this time.” He’d hoped she’d like the folded dollar bill. He imagined she wouldn’t be easy to predict.
“I don’t think so. I’m hardly ever lucky.” He heard the melancholy in her tone, but could only see her business smile. “I hope you’re pleased with the party and will consider recommending us to your colleagues.”
“I’m very pleased. You gave me exactly what I needed.” He’d make up reasons for more parties if he had to. He needed to see her again. “Let me take you out to lunch and we can talk about it.”
“I’ll be chained to the desk for the rest of the day. We’re in the middle of planning our next affair.” Her eyes widened for a second and then she turned to place the flowers on the reception desk. She stuck out her hand. “Thanks again for choosing Reed & Company.”
“Another time, then.” He grabbed hold of her hand and squeezed. “Goodbye, Ivy.” There had to be another angle. He didn’t want this one getting away.
Blurb:
Ivy’s revenge on the people behind her family’s downward spiral is simple and it’s working. There’s no need to long for help from the wealthy business owners who turned their backs on her father. Ivy may be worn out, but she’s finding herself again after joining the local BDSM club.
Seth has it all. He has homes around the world and the little red speedster he dreamed of as a little boy, but none of the things he can buy satisfy him, not the socialites hanging on his arm or the submissives falling at his feet. Then, he hires Ivy to plan his next event.
Seth and Ivy enjoy each other’s company in and out of the planning stages for Seth’s charity event. Their playful bets lead them to a first date. When their secret kinks are revealed, the pair fall deep, but it’s not meant to last. Past hurts come back to haunt Ivy. Now, it’s time for Seth to use all he’s learned, regardless if he can win back the girl.

He seems very determined!

Love these two. I see a very interesting lunch in their near future. 😉
He’s a man on a mission!
A very elegant snippet, full of romantic tension. I’m always glad when the pursued makes the pursuer work for it.
A pencil skirt always means business. Monkey business.
Great snippet, well done!
I love how persistent he is without overdoing it. Wonderful description as well! 🙂
