click here for my Weekend Writing Warrior postWe’re Celebrating the Ndulgent Bloggers’ 4th BLOGiversary!

4 Years of Reviews. 4 Years of Supporting Authors. 4 Years of Great Books. 4 Huge Bags o’ Swag.

banner blogiversary 4 yrsCongratulations to Guilty Indulgence on four fabulous years. 😀

I love to indulge, especially when it comes to my addiction to hot romances. My heroines are hard working ladies. I may not make their path to love easy, but I make sure the reward is worth it.

In my latest release, Taking Courage, Janna and Simon are having a hard time getting past their bumpy start. She fears he’ll never really want her and he’s not ready to see her go. In this snippet you’ll see if this is where it will end or if it’s just the hot indulgent beginning.

EXCERPT:

She pulled herself from his hold a little too easily. It only took a couple steps to get out of his reach.

“I’m sorry this didn’t work out. I’ll contact Charlie. Maybe she can set up a meet for Friday and I’ll be off your hands.”

“Now, wait a minute.”

“I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you. I get it now.” She stepped closer to the door and her escape route. “I shouldn’t have put you in this position.”

“Would you just hold on for a minute? Stop running from me.”

She stopped moving.

“Get back over here. I didn’t release you.”

She pivoted on the balls of her feet, and he pointed to the space in front of him. She squeezed in between Simon and the desk. He leaned forward and forced her back. She rested her elbows on the desk and knocked her head into his laptop. He pushed it away.

Silently he opened her blouse. Her bra had a front closure, and he released it as well. She flicked off her shoes and pulled up her feet to rest them on the edge of the desk. He grabbed hold of her pussy and returned her to the moment and his control.

Long seconds ticked by as he watched her. Was he making a decision about her, or had he done it already? She bit her lip. Vulnerability rolled in waves over her. Simon had exposed her in a whole new way. Why was she letting him do this to her?

“Maybe I’m giving you a hard time because I’ve been hurt before by lies.” He looked like a judge deciding her fate.

“I’m sorry, Sir.”

“Thank you.” He flexed his fingers, reminding her of her position. “Here’s where I stand. I do believe your actions weren’t meant to be manipulative, and I’ll stop bringing it up.” His eyes raked over her, and flames licked through her body. “But don’t think I’ll let you get away with lies by omission again.”

“I know,” she spat out.

He squeezed the folds around her pussy.

“Thank you, Sir.”

“Now, as for me wanting you.” He pulled her hips to the edge of his desk. “Give me your hand.”

She reached for him, and he pulled her to sitting. With a kiss to her palm, he pressed her hand around the hard ridge of his cock.

“I’ve been hard for you all day. I know the soft, warm grip of your pussy, and it’s all I could think about today, especially after feeling your ass and watching your squirm through the meeting.” He stroked her hand up and down on his hard length. “You’re breathtaking, Janna. Having control over your body is quickly becoming my obsession. I can’t get you out of my head. I couldn’t wait to touch your pussy again, to taste you, watch you pulsate as your orgasm rises and you come all over my tongue.”

“Yes, please, Sir.”

“I’ll help you to learn the path as my submissive, and we’ll take the rest one day at a time.” He bent over her and took her left nipple into his mouth and pushed the heel of her hand down the edge of his cock.

“Oh, Sir.”

“I must warn you.” He tugged on her nipple with his teeth and let it go. “Do you remember your safe word?”

taking-courage400x267BLURB:

Janna’s ready to make over her life and get out from under the controlling thumb of her father. She doesn’t want another failed arranged marriage. She’s ready to do whatever it takes for the career she wants, enter the lifestyle she craves, and to earn the trust and love of the man that has captured her heart, but heartbreak and career hiccups seem to be her destiny.

Simon’s still recovering after his last submissive lied her way into his life. He’s not ready for Janna and how she pushes against his prejudices. He needs to decide if he’s willing to lose her or if he’ll fight for her love and submission.

In the Pages of a Good Book Blog Hop – Celebrating Friendships

Posted on by
10

Blog InviteThrough the years I’ve made and lost many friends, but those I’ve met through my love of books are so very dear to me. Like my girlfriends from childhood, my book girlfriends get a part of me that many others can’t seem to reach. That’s right, with our noses stuck in the pages of a good book we found something to enjoy, to love, and to bring us together.

So, cheers to all the friends I’ve met along the way and especially to Beckey White and for all she does in and around her fabulous blog. Here’s to that book we love and that book we haven’t yet met. The future looks very bright.

Glasses with champagne against fireworks and clock close to midnI’d like to share with you my latest heroine, Janna. I like to think of her as my girlfriend. In fact, in this book you see her form a friendship with the heroine from book one in my Love Projects series and with Anne too. She’ll be the heroine of book four. I suspect they’ll be inseparable by then. Back to Janna, she’s fighting for not just her career but the potential love of her life. She has the kind of courage I dream about. I learned a lot from her.

Excerpt from what happens after this quote:

“Can we start over?”

“I hope you’re ready for the meeting. I don’t like my time wasted.” He leered at her with what looked like unrestrained disgust.

“I don’t deserve this. I know I shouldn’t have forgotten to tell you it was my first scene, and for that, I am sorry.” She’d done it. She’d admitted her fault in the matter. Would he let her off the hook? His mocking stare told her she was wasting her time. “I was ready for the scene, and you have to admit it went well.”

“I don’t have to admit anything, and I have no time for liars.”

It was a sucker punch, but she let it land. Her shoulders sagged with the weight of his revulsion. She hadn’t been open and honest. She hadn’t meant to leave out the truth, or had she done it on purpose?

She had been frightened of his rejection or being talked out of the scene, a scene that gave her necessary answers. A scene she desperately wanted repeated. But she was wasting her time. She’d have to find a way to push through with her professionalism and pray he didn’t give her any trouble.

“Well, I guess that’s it then.” She waited a couple heartbeats in one last hope he’d change his answer. “Thanks for listening.”

She turned and concentrated on getting to the door.

“Wait—shit.”

Tears welled up and threatened to escape, so she quickened her pace. She got her hand on the doorknob, and his hand landed on the door next to her face.

“I said wait.”

naughty nights2Welcome to the Wicked Nights giveaway hop hosted by Herding Cats & Burning Soup.

Wicked Nights. Oh, yeah. We LOVE those naughty…steamy… oh-so-wicked reads. Check out all of our favorite scorching hot books, heroes and heroines. There will be naughty giveaways at every stop so be sure to check them all out! And don’t forget to enter the Grand Prize Giveaway for an Amazon Gift Card!

I’m celebrating both of my current releases and the next two that are Coming Soon. They’re a sure fire way to steam up your nights and make them all kinds of wicked.

takingchances1m

Taking Chances is the first in my Love Projects series and stars Jake and Lydia. She’s the quiet type with the naughty imagination. This pair may meet at work, but their first night together sparks all kinds of untapped passion.

One night during their story, Jake and Lydia find each other outside. You’ll need to read their story to find out how kinky they get and if they have any privacy.

Review from BDSM Book Review: Story Rating: 5 out of 5 paddles & Sting Factor (kink): 5 out of 5

Review from Romancing the Book: “The chemistry between Jake and Lydia is blistering. The sex scenes were scorching.”

untangleme 300Untangle Me is my second release and this story plays with temptation from an older and more experienced man. Rob and Ivy’s story seems like it will be simple at first, but then it gets all tangled. One thing remains true. This is a couple that likes it naughty.

One night during their story, Rob and Ivy meet in the middle of a crowded club. The music beats their passion to a new level. You’ll need to read their story to find out if they let go or if they hang tight to their tangled lives.

LASR “If you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable, sexy read, then Untangle Me by SJ Maylee is your book.”

All of my stories are stand alone, but they occur in the same world. You never know when you’ll see a familiar character again or when a side character will star in their own story.

The second in my Love Projects series will release in the next few weeks and stars Simon (Jake’s best friend and a side character in Taking Chances). Not too long after that, Unravel Me will release in a new Evernight Publishing anthology and will star Colin (a side character from Simon’s book).

Book Boyfriend Blog Hop with JAKE REED from TAKING CHANCES

Posted on by

bookboyfriend-2014

The Book Boyfriend Blog Hop is back and better than ever!

The authors of Evernight have a brand new team of swoon-worthy book boyfriend candidates. A sexy assortment of cowboys, Doms, detectives, millionaires, royalty, vampires, soldiers, and shifters are just a click away.

Get ready to find your next book boyfriend…

Welcome to the ehome of S.J. Maylee. I’m so glad you stopped by. 🙂 I’m sharing with you my love for Jake Reed from TAKING CHANCES, the first in my Love Projects Series. He’s the kind of man who knows what he wants and vanilla is not it.

When Lydia caught his attention, he was conflicted. He sensed the submissive within her and he wanted to set her free, but they weren’t in the safe arena of his BDSM club of choice, Club Voyage. They were at work.

The simplest things Lydia did pulled his attention away from their project. Just before lunch on their first day working together, she reached forward to the monitor. His gaze landed on the slope of her neck. Here’s a look into his thoughts…

Jake 2 new

Lucky for us, the road to realization is paved with all kinds of sexual tension. Jake does take a giant chance in this story and it brought Lydia’s fantasies to life. Once she had a taste of Jake and his dominating hand, she was eager for more, but they still needed to complete their project at work…

Jake 4 new

Oh yes, they sizzle and burn as their love grows. However, once this pair opened themselves to each other, they exposed their wounds…

Jake 3 new

It’s that need in him that drives Lydia’s passion higher than she’s ever known. I loved writing these two. Jake held my hand throughout their story and I fell in love with him right along with Lydia.

I’m not sharing how their story ends though. You’ll have to read TAKING CHANCES to find out if Lydia gets to keep her one and only.

Jake Reed is one hot hero. He’s a sexy dominating man that knows how to make your fantasies come to life. He’s also worth losing your heart to. I hope you’ll love him as much as I do.

Review from BDSM Book Review: Story Rating: 5 out of 5 paddles & Sting Factor (kink): 5 out of 5 “S.J. Maylee’s story is one of beauty and well researched or perhaps well experienced. The journey that is embarked upon is gently done instead of pushed. Though a short story, this is well developed and the BDSM scenes are well written. It is not often that a short story can convey the beauty that a Dominant and submissive relationship can have.”

My Writing Process

Posted on by
7

This post is actually a part of a blog hop. I’ve been tagged by the lovely Anne Lange and I’ve tagged three authors to follow my post in the hop. There are more authors to visit at Anne’s post and you can continue hopping from there or here. So, what is this hop about? It’s about authors offering others a glimpse into their work, their work schedules, and perhaps their innermost thoughts.  I’m having so much fun with this. I hope you hop and have fun too.

Friends with Benefits CoverBefore I get to the questions, I have to make sure you know about Anne. I fell for her writing style in one snippet. That’s all it took. She pulled me right in and each snippet and book since have left me hooked. You must check her out and of course her Writing Process post which can be found here. You can also click on her pretty covers to see that book page at her site.

Now for the questions …

Q. What am I working on?

A. I’m polishing the 2nd book in my Love Projects series. I hope to hit send very soon. Then I’ll be going back to a little novelette that’s almost finished. I hope to hit send on that soon as well. After that I’ll be working on finishing the first in a new series of novelettes about a fine group of criminals and the women that capture their hearts. Aw. Then I’ll head back to the Love Projects series. I’m only a few chapters into writing the 3rd book in that series. Lots to do and I can’t wait for all of it. Love my characters.

Q. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

A. I love romance and that will always be up front and center in my books. I also enjoy adding a bit of kink to my stories and the D/s relationship hits the spot for me. So far, all of my stories have been about strong career driven women who find their one and only in the middle of their work day. They love their jobs and they’re passionate about their men. Yes, my leading ladies are lucky, but I make them work for each of their happy endings.

Q. Why do I write what I do?

A. I write what I like to read. It’s that simple. I love hot romances. I love finding broken hearts and gluing them back together. It’s what I do and I love it.

Q. How does your writing process work?

A. I work on my WIPs every minute I get in-between taking care of my family, my home, my volunteer responsibilities, and the evil day job. Some days it’s hours and others it’s just a few minutes. My schedule varies and when an opening pops up, I have to advantage.

Once the first draft is done, a long series of read throughs begin. The first couple of passes I edit for story arch and then character arch. I usually add several thousand words during these read throughs. The last couple of passes are for sentence structure and anything else I find that I can tighten. Once my betas offer their feedback, it’s back to the read throughs until the manuscripts shines and then I hit send.

I’m mostly a plotter, but I pantsy my way through each book. Until I’m done with that last read through, you never know what I might change.

Q. Who will we meet next?

A. I’m passing the question baton to three fellow Evernight authors.

Iyana Jenna author of This Isn’t Goodbye, An Omega’s Fate and many others will share her post on March 4th.

Nicola Cameron author of Trickster, Grading the Curve posted her writing process on February 25th and it can be seen here.

Nikka Michaels author of Christmas with Caden, Chasing Matt and many coming soon shared her post on February 27th and it can be seen here.

I hope you enjoyed the walk through My Writing Process. 🙂

Lots of chances to enter to win our grand prizes of a Kindle Paperwhite or digital new adult romance basket.

I LOVE putting romance in my books. I also put my characters through a good bit of sexual tension, conflict, and a heap of kink, but giving them their happy ending is definitely my sweet spot. The moment when you feel the characters heart expanding and realizing they cannot live without that other person. Yum!

BloghopPrizesRomance in real life shouldn’t come just once a year. I indulge on a regular basis. My hubs and I still enjoy date nights and his simple notes, hugs, and smooches still light my fire. Aw. I’m a lucky girl. I definitely appreciate everything he does for me.

I also appreciate each and every one of you that found the time to visit me today. Thank you!! I’m a new author. My debut TAKING CHANCES released last August and UNTANGLE ME released in December. I hope to have my third book out in the next couple of months.

Below you’ll find the blurb for UNTANGLE ME, my newest release. Plus, a little excerpt and my Giveaway. I hope you enjoy and have tons of fun on the hop.

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 wornuntangleme 300out, 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.

EXCERPT:

Where was Seth?

Once in the center of the dance floor she turned in a circle, looking every direction.

There.

From the center seat at the bar, Seth’s direct stare held her captive. A new song excited the crowd and cheers surrounded them, but neither of them paid it any attention.

His jacket and tie were gone, giving her a closer look at his all-male body. The top button on his white shirt was undone. She wanted to undo the rest and get a glimpse at what lay underneath. Round shoulders tapered to his waist. She bit her lip as she imagined his length.

He made no move to come to her, his elbow still rested on the bar. He was a man waiting for the world to come to him.

Not the world. Her.

The comfortable confidence and the heat shining in his eyes turned her on. She swayed her hips to the hypnotic beat. Her hands felt their way up her thighs, around her hips, and an inch past her waist, he got up and walked towards her.

In no time, his feet stepped in between hers and together they rocked to the music. The drums and base from the band pushed a rhythm into her body, driving her desire. Their fingers interlaced. She snuggled closer and breathed in his clean musky scent.

She wanted to touch him, but he kept a hold on her hands. He pushed them both behind her, causing her back to arch and her breasts to press deliciously into his hard body. Heat rolled through her. She let her head fall back, exposing her neck.

His lips brushed across her collarbone. They continued to rock back and forth, their hips swaying and rubbing together. He took her wrists in one hand and his other stroked down her neck, over her shoulder, caressed the side of her breast, and around her waist to land on her butt. He squeezed her ass and pressed her into the hard ridge of his cock. She lowered her chin and moaned as she took in his expression filled with raw desire. A slow devilish smile lit his features and sent a tremble through her.

The song ended and another began while they continued their dance. He let go of her hands and she wrapped them around his neck. Both of his hands molded her ass. She nuzzled his neck, taking a nibble and a few kisses as she breathed him in. She wanted more.

Lots more.

She made her way closer to his mouth. Before she stole a kiss, she looked into his eyes. His brown eyes had darkened to the color of night, matching his hair. She sucked on her lower lip.

“You know what you’re doing, right?” he asked.

“I know I want you.”

“The Masters work the back rooms on club nights. But we can stay on the dance floor all night, if you want.”

“You’re talking about the one on one rooms?” She sucked in a breath.

“I don’t think this crowd is prepared to see what I want to do to you.”

“Can we go back there? I want to go back there.” She looked directly into his eyes.

Love Scene Blog Hop! with an extra from TAKING CHANCES

Posted on by
33

Click to see the main blog hop page at the Evernight blogHello! Welcome to Evernight’s Love Scene Blog Hop. You’ll find a love scene at each stop in the hop. There are prizes to win too.

I’m in the middle of finishing the second book in my LOVE PROJECTS series and my thoughts often drift to the couple from the first in the series, Lydia and Jake from TAKING CHANCES. The following scene came to me and I hope you enjoy it. I sure had fun writing it. You’ll have to check out the second in the series once it’s published to learn what Lydia has to say to her girlfriends about what happened in this sexy Love Scene. So much fun. Enjoy.

LOVE SCENE:

Lydia removed all her clothes and stepped into the lukewarm shower. She hadn’t second guessed her decision to get a tattoo until her toe touched the not hot enough water, but she’d always wanted ink and she wanted nothing more than to show off her commitment to the Dom she loved.

After carefully removing the wet bandage, she cleaned the area. The tattoo artist better be right about the cold water because she felt like a cat who was asking for a rocking chair to smoosh its tail. She angled her body as far out of the spray as possible and turned up the cold water.

She counted faster than she should have and turned off the shower. “Shit. That was stupid.” She slammed the shower door back and reached for her towel, but it wasn’t there.

“I agree. That was stupid.”

“Jake!” She pressed her hand over her heart, thankfully covering the tattoo. “When did you come in?” She didn’t ask for the towel, knowing he wouldn’t release it from his clenched fists.

“Why the cold shower?” He stepped closer and reached for her hand.

Instinctively she reached for him.

“What did you do?” He helped her out of the show and then stopped her forward movement. After throwing the towel on the counter, he got down on one knee and caressed the skin around her new permanent mark.

“Surprise. Do you like it?” She trembled from his touch and the goose bumps covering her skin.

“It’s sexy.” He kissed her breast gently and looked up into her eyes. “I love it and I love you.”

She pressed her palm to his cheek. “I love you.”

He reached for the towel, pressed it over her ink, and then picked her up and carried her to the center of their bed. She reached for the towel, but he threw it across the room.

“Naughty girls who do things to their bodies without their Doms approval don’t get the luxury of warm towels.” He crawled between her legs and kissed a trail from her navel to her left breast. “Your work here is done. I’m taking charge of your heat. Now, be a good pet and reach for the head board and hang on.”

Once she grabbed the rungs of the headboard, she gasped as he took her nipple into his mouth. The sweet pull of his greedy mouth sent warmth in a direct path to her pussy and out over her needy body. He pushed her breast up and flicked her nipple with his tongue. She looked down and found his gaze trained on her. The passion and love returning to her opened her heart and her legs.

“My mind is filling with all kinds of punishments for you.” He traced a circle around the new tattoo and then around her nipple, but all I can think about right now is getting my cock deep inside you.”

“Oh yes, please. Please, fuck me, Sir.”

A smile spread wide across his face. “You’ve gotten a hell of a lot better at telling me what you want. I’ll have to reward that behavior.” He crawled up the bed and hovered over her. “You know, I don’t think it’s good to cover a new tattoo.” He nibbled on her ear lobe. “You’ll have to stay in the nude all weekend.”

“All weekend.” A shiver rolled through her, but heat followed when a long list of wicked things entered her thoughts.

“It’s the gift that keeps on giving.” The tip of his cock teased at her entrance. “Are you ready my love?”

“I’m always ready for you, Sir.” She pulled at the headboard and sucked in a breath as he filled her.

“You were ready for me. You’re so hot and wet.” He pulled out and pushed right back in. The bed rocked under them as he worked into a fierce rhythm.

“Reach for that orgasm now my love, because it’s the last one you’ll be getting for a while.”

“What! Oh.” She pulled her knees back and he thrust his hard cock into her again. He’d been pushing her farther and farther lately. She wondered how far she’d fly this weekend once he finally let her orgasm break free. His cock stroked her sweet spot. Thankfully, she didn’t have to worry about holding back right now. “It’s coming.”

He angled her hips and pushed in as her orgasm spread in bright pulses all over her body. His strokes became slower, but stronger and in no time he was grunting his pleasure and she rolled right into another round of tingling bliss.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down. He pushed his tongue into her mouth and claimed her all over again.

When he pulled from her body, they snuggled into a tight embrace. Warm comfort surrounded them and left her wondering what chance she would take next for the man who had captured her body and soul.

_______________________________

I hope you enjoyed that. Lydia and Jake are two of my favorite characters ever. Their story is a powerful one of trust and learning to take chances for love. Below you’ll find more information about this sexy story.

BLURB:

takingchances1mLydia’s father walked away from her when she was eight. She’s struggled to not let him affect her, but fears she wasn’t loveable enough to make him stay. Jake wants to love one woman, but after scaring the last woman he met outside of the club, he doubts he deserves the right. She protects her heart by sticking with her fantasies and he lives by a set of rules that excludes women who choose a vanilla lifestyle.

The two will be kept in a conference room working together until their special project is complete. If Lydia and Jake hold tight to their bland lives, they’ll always yearn for love that is out of reach. Together they find common ground, passion, and a reason to take chances. Once they discover the grand possibilities of the love they desire, they find themselves in the very place they tried never to be again, facing unguaranteed loved.

5 Star Review: “Taking Chances, is a must read for anyone who wants a great story, well written, smoking hot smexy scenes and an oh so hot hero.”

5 Star Review: “Taking Chances is SJ Maylee’s debut novel and she does an excellent job of creating interesting characters searching for connection while providing enough kink and spice to heat things up.”

5 Star Review: “it’s well written, there’s no slw moments and it’s packed full of hot sexual tension”

Thankfully Naughty Giveaway Hop!

Welcome to the Thankfully Naughty Giveaway Hop!

Thankfully Naughty Giveaway Hop

It’s been a big year for me. My passion for naughty books took a huge step forward with the release of my debut, TAKING CHANCES. It’s the first in my naughty series called the Love Projects. I also have a new release coming out very soon to Evernight Publishing’s Romance on the Go line titled UNTANGLE ME.

I like to find broken hearts and glue them back together. I do this through all kinds of naughty business. 😀

For many years I’ve dealt with evil day jobs. Although naughtiness isn’t allowed in the work place, it’s definitely a fantasy. The leading lady of TAKING CHANCES, Lydia Taylor is quite familiar with fantasies, in-particular fantasies starring the hero of this story. Her fantasies might not have prepared her for his dominant power.

Before we get into the excerpt below, let me introduce you to Jake Reed. He’s a man in need of a submissive, but just not any will do. At first, he doesn’t think Lydia’s for him. Things change when they get assigned to work together on a special project. At one point during their work day, Lydia pokes Jake in the chest. You can see 8 sentences from this scene here.

BLURB:

Lydia’s father walked away from her when she was eight. She’s struggled to not let him affect her, but fears she wasn’t loveable enough to make him stay. Jake wants to love one woman, but after scaring the last woman he met outside of the club, he doubts he has the right. She protects her heart by sticking with her fantasies, and he lives by a set of rules that excludes women who choose a vanilla lifestyle.

The two will be kept in a conference room working together until their special project is complete. If Lydia and Jake hold tight to their bland lives, they’ll always yearn for love that is out of reach. But together they can find common ground, passion, and a reason to take chances. Once they discover the grand possibilities of the love they desire, they find themselves in the very place they tried never to be again, facing unguaranteed love.

Excerpt:

“Come on in, Lydia. I want to talk about a few things before we get started today. We need to make it quick, since we need to report to Keller at ten this morning.” When she remained in her spot he added, “Lydia, come here.”

Not wanting Gina to take anything further from her, she lifted her head and walked to Jake. She stopped at his desk, but felt instantly unworthy. Gina was more Jake’s style. She fought the need to lower her chin.

“Look at me, Lydia.”

He pushed her. “Why?” She shifted her gaze and hit him with her direct stare.

“Thank you. I needed to see your eyes.” He reached out and swiped a lock of hair from her face. He tucked the strand behind her ear, and let his finger drag down her face to her shoulder. All the while his gaze captured hers, not letting go. “How are you this morning?”

“I’m okay.”

“Okay? Hmm, maybe I should do something to improve your mood? What would you say to that?”

“Here?” she gasped and quickly turned to look out the door.

He grabbed hold of her shoulders, lifting her slightly off the floor.

“Yes, here.” He brought their bodies together, claimed her lips and swept his tongue through her mouth, awakening her sexual hunger.

She felt wanted. She felt claimed. Images from the night before swam in her mind. Silly challenges from the office mean girl were all forgotten. He set her down and nipped at her lower lip.

“We have a lot to do today. Unfortunately we cannot go any further, now.” He stepped back behind his desk as casually as if he’d just greeted the mail man.

“But you would want to?” Still looking at the papers on his desk, she didn’t think he heard her. She took a step closer. “You would repeat last night?”

Her words stopped him. His gaze searched her face. Placing his hands on the desk he leaned forward and said, “Lydia, I fully intend to further explore your body and mind. After all, there are a few places I haven’t yet completely inspected.”

Her mind ran through what he had done to her last night, and there was only one place she could think of. Warmth fluttered through her face.

“Now, that is a beautiful sight.” He returned to his papers. “I’m going to have to keep thinking of ways to shock you simply to see you blush again.” With the papers properly sorted, his attention returned to her. “Is Gina a problem?”

Gina was a lot of things, but she’d never thought of her as a problem. “I don’t think so.”

“Don’t be afraid to put her in her place. She likes that more than she lets on. She’s the type to push so she can be pushed back.”

“I hadn’t thought of her that way. Interesting.”

“Let me know if she becomes a problem.” His gaze drilled into hers, not letting her escape.

“Okay.”

“Okay?” His posture remained controlled, but the smirk couldn’t be missed.

She added her own version of the devilish grin, which ignited another blush before she even spoke. “Okay, Sir.”

“Trouble.” He stalked towards her and ruthlessly swept his hand under the hem of her skirt to press firmly along her panties. His lips pressed to her ear. “Hot and damp.”

The palm of his hand pressed on her clit, and he bent his knuckles, sending the tips of his fingers past the edge of her panties to drag along her slit.

“Be careful what you say to me, sweetheart, or you’ll shatter my control.” With one last drag of his fingers, he pulled away and walked from the room.

She turned around and watched him go. Her heart pounded. All she could do was follow him, but she couldn’t move. The exchange with Jake left her bones unsettled, and the all too familiar ache tried to set-up shop in her chest. She hadn’t expected him to crave more from her, and now she couldn’t deny he did. Was she going to deny herself the pleasure of getting to know him?

Unedited 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

Ella’s Turning What? Blog Party

Posted on by
70

Welcome to Ella’s turning what? blog party hop. I’m going to share some fun memories and talk a bit about my upcoming first EVER book birthday.

click this graphic to jump to list of hop participants

Ella and I are actually the same age which gives me another reason to celebrate. I adore Ella and her books. My birthday celebrations have changed over the years, have yours? pink cakeI went from parties with the girlfriends, to a night with the boyfriend, then date night with the hubby. This year, my besties and I made it an event to remember. They showed up on my doorstep (a two-hour drive for them) on my birthday and took me out for margaritas, such good times. A couple months later, we spent a night away that included margaritatreatments at the spa, shopping, and a bunch of girl talk over coffee. Finally, back in June we went out, like we did back when we were youngins. We had so much fun. Those girls got me before I did anything with my life and they still get me. I love it. Although I enjoy spending the day with my hubby, I loved spending it with my two best girlfriends.

I’m sure it won’t surprise you that my two besties are both mentioned in the dedication to my debut coming out very soon. I cannot wait to see the cover. For now, I have this adorable promise.

It is coming! 😀
