Mid Week Tease -We’re Talking About Punishment- a snippet from Unshakable Me (Uniform Fetish Anthology)

click to see all the Mid Week Teases here at SJsWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the talented, Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’m sharing a snippet from Unshakable Me. It will be in the anthology, Uniform Fetish, releasing February 27th by Evernight Publishing.

Last Week: I shared Miles thoughts on Emma. This Week: I’ve skipped a bunch again. You can call me a tease, lol. Miles has had enough of Emma’s recklessness. Let’s see what happens now. Enjoy!

______________

“I’ll stop bothering you.”

“Is that really what you want?” he said, grabbing her arm and then pulling her back on top of the trunk.

“It’s probably what’s best. The nuisance will leave you alone.”

“I can’t allow that to happen.” He blocked her escape routes. “You’re not taking your safety seriously.”

“What exactly are we talking about here?”

“We’re talking about punishment, Ms. Wieland.” He picked her up and set her on the ground, facing her trunk.

The quick change of position left her lightheaded. She braced herself over the car, widening her stance and taking deep breaths.

“You’ve taken one too many risks, and it’s completely unacceptable.” He rubbed in big circles over her butt, warming her backside nicely, while ignoring where she needed to be touched the most.

“Oh my.” She tried to look at him, but turned back when she caught his expression. “You want to spank me?”

 ____________

Hope you enjoyed that little tease. Be sure to come back on Saturday when I share more from this very scene in this week’s Sat Spanks.

Curing Doctor Vincent by Renea Mason and the Musical Inspiration

Cover Blurb: One kinky doctor + one indecent proposal = one life-changing week in Paris

Elaine Watkins, Public Relations Advisor, is surprised when she receives a summons from the very attractive and enigmatic Dr. Xavier Vincent. She worships the talented physician and company icon responsible for developing the cure that saved her sister’s life and isn’t immune to his charm. Even though puzzled by his request, she is excited and eager to get started on his latest project.

But Dr. Vincent has other ideas. Instead of discussing cures, drugs and marketing strategies, he asks Elaine to join him in Paris to indulge his unique sexual appetites.

Torn between gratitude for saving her sister, her attraction for the powerful man and compromising her pre-conceived notions of sexuality, she must decide if it’s easier to feed his desires or walk away. Until she devises a plan of her own.

“Make no mistake, Elaine, I am a king. Kings command and conquer. They are brutal and uncompromising. You don’t want a king. Face it, you came here expecting a saint.” – Dr. Xavier Vincent

AMAZON | Barnes and Noble | Beachwalk Press

Jilted once before, now it’s her turn to level the playing field.

Hotshot sports reporter Sage Millan has been busy making a name for herself in the male dominated world of baseball. She’s just landed her dream job, and her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World Series champions, The Kingston Crushers. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. The only problem…her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she’s ever loved, is the team’s second baseman. Things ended badly between them, and she’s not sure she can put those demons to rest.

Professional baseball player Nicolas Cordova is having the time of his life. His team has just won the World Series, and with the victory comes more fame, women, and exposure than he ever could have imagined. But things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He never expected his ex-girlfriend to walk back into his life, much less the locker room.

These days Sage is smarter, more mature, and doesn’t plan on being played a second time. Her appearance stirs old memories for Nic. She’s the one he let get away in the name of his career. He vows he can be the man she needs this time around. Will that be enough to mend her broken heart?

Content Warning: contains explicit sex and adult content

Excerpt…

“I’ll admit I’ve had many women in the past, and I can’t apologize for living. But as the years went by, my feelings for you were always someplace deep in my heart. I know that’s why I can’t settle down. Why I can’t find the peace I’ve been searching for. It doesn’t exist without you.”

“How can you say things like that? You don’t even know the woman I’ve become. I’m not that girl who relied on you, the one who would’ve followed you anywhere. I’m not her anymore, Nic. I can’t ever be her again.”

“Maybe I’m not asking for her.” He leaned closer to her face. “Maybe I want to know the woman you are today. I want another shot at this.”

“No,” she whispered.

“If you remember anything about me, I have a hard time with that word.” He tipped her chin, focusing on her lips. “I am going to kiss you. Right here and right now.”

Her knees buckled as a cool tremor swept through her. She wanted to say no. It was the only logical word to mutter, but her heart didn’t want her to say it. Her body wasn’t on board with turning him down either. The warmth that built in her stomach had moved lower, and now all she could think about was his lips on hers.

“It doesn’t sound like you’re asking,” she breathed out.

“I’m not.”

Before she could say anything else, his mouth was on hers, eager, but slow and soft. His stubble grazed along her chin as he tilted his head and deepened their bond. The sound throughout the crowded lobby seemed to fade into the background, and soon, all she could hear was her heart pumping loud between her ears. Why did he have to be such a freakin’ good kisser?

After the incredibly long connection, he pulled away, but not before stopping to kiss the bottom corner of her mouth like he used to.

“I’ve waited a long time to do that,” he said. “It was worth every lonely minute.”

“I… Nic…” She’d always had the gift of words. It was what she did for a living, but in that moment, all of her thoughts were jumbled and senseless.

“It’s okay.” He grinned as he stroked her cheek. “Let’s get something to eat and maybe figure this out. Whatever this is.”

“No.” She ran her hands along his strong chest, resting them on his shoulders.

“Don’t over analyze this, baby.” He glanced down at her hands on his body. “Let’s just go with it.”

“That’s what I’m trying to tell you.” She took a breath and continued before she lost her nerve. “Take me upstairs to your room. I know how we can figure this out.”

“What are you asking?” He placed his hand on the small of her back, drawing her closer to him. “You need to be real clear.”

“I want to go upstairs with you.”

“That’s not why I kissed you.”

“Isn’t it?” She smirked. “We’re adults now, Nicky. Let’s settle this like adults.”

“I’m not looking to settle anything. That usually means it’s over, and we’re nowhere near over.” He motioned for Joe. “I’ll take care of the bar tab and then we’ll get dinner.”

“No.” She draped her arms around his neck, intoxicated by the idea of being so close to him again. He may be older now, and may have lost those boyish looks, but the man he had become suited him and drove her wild with need.

“What did I tell you about that word?”

“I can guarantee I won’t be using it once we’re in your bedroom.” She ran her tongue along her top lip. “I’m going to the ladies room. When I come out, if you’re not by the elevators waiting for me, I’ll know that kiss was nothing more than the heat of the moment and we can go on with our lives.”

“Sage?”

“Shh.” She pressed her lips to his. “Now who’s over analyzing?” She reached for her purse and coat hanging on the back of the stool. “I’ll see you in a few minutes.” I hope.

Sliding Into Second teaser

This is book 2 in the Kingston Heat Series but both books stand alone and can be read in either order.

Book One… Stealing His Heart available now.

WARNING… Pax will steal your heart

StealingHisHeart_Medium

Will the bad-boy pitcher strike out when it comes to love?

Shy music teacher Sophia Ballis has sworn off men. After a bad experience with a college jock she decided it was better to be alone than to get burned again. She focused on her education and now her new job at a local private school.

Professional baseball pitcher Paxton Hughes is a player both on and off the field. He’s signed to the Kingston Crushers to bring home the coveted championship title. Nothing can get in his way. Serious relationships don’t mix with a life on the road and he never loses focus on the game. One-night stands are his specialty for a reason.

While out jogging one spring morning, the two collide, setting their course in motion. Pax is immediately drawn to the unassuming beauty. Sophia is aware of his reputation and decides one night of meaningless sex with the attractive Texas charmer is just what she needs to get over her self-imposed dry spell. Pax has more than a one-night stand on his mind, but will his bad-boy persona and demanding schedule ruin any chances of a happily ever after?

Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can’t be stopped.

Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband and two boys. When she’s not chasing after her kids, she’s busy creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom.  She hopes you’ll get lost in her words.

She loves connecting with readers. You can find her here…

My Sexy Saturday -Chains and Affairs- a snippet from Untangle Me

Click here for the SatSpanks postClick here for the Romantic Rendezvous Blog Hop

My Sexy Saturday - click to see their site PINK AND WHITE RANUNCULUSHello! 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.

untangleme 300

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.

SatSpanks -Her Conflict- a snippet from Taking Chances

click to see a list of participants at Saturday SpankingsHello! Happy Saturday Spankings and Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂 I’m currently working on the third book in my Love Projects Series. So, I thought I would share some spanky bits from the first in the series, Taking Chances.

In this scene, Jake is trying to get to the bottom of why Lydia would believe Gina and her lies. He has her over his lap and her panties are long gone. Do you know what’s coming next?

He wouldn’t let himself think about all she was willing to walk away from for one of Gina’s lies. His hand would help her to remember communication was their only way. They would survive only by trusting each other.

Even now, he could sense her conflict. Her pussy wept with pleasure, but her heart hammered against his thigh. The unease would stop her from truly enjoying what he could offer. In this moment, she should let go and let him dominate. He pushed his finger deep into her passage.

“Do you think coming to this bathroom and hiding from me was a good decision?”

taking-chances

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 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.

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.”

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

Review from Cocktails and Books: “I’m such a fan of S.J. Maylee.  Her stories are short, exciting, and sexy with characters who have chemistry to spare.”

Mid Week Tease -The Night Off- a snippet from Unshakable Me (Uniform Fetish Anthology)

click to see all the Mid Week Teases here at SJsWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the amazing, Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’m sharing another snippet from Unshakable Me. It will be in the anthology, Uniform Fetish, releasing February 27th by Evernight Publishing.

Last Week: I shared a fun exchange between Emma and her two best friends. This Week: I’ve skipped a bunch again. Oops. But I’m giving you the inside scoop on what Miles thinks of Emma. Her full name is Emma Wieland. Enjoy!

______________

Miles relaxed back in his favorite recliner. It had been weeks since he’d had a night off, and tonight’s break had been unexpected. He never asked his fellow cops to cover for him, but tonight he needed it. All day, his thoughts had been with the little bundle he had taken home last night.

He wanted to know if she was okay, wanted to know if she was keeping out of trouble. Most of all, he wanted to hold her again. If he was being honest, he’d admit her sassy mouth amused him, even if it drove him to want to spank her tight ass.

She’d been soft and warm. Just thinking about how she’d molded herself to him on the dance floor had his cock hard again in a second. He rubbed his palm along the hard edge, and her pretty baby blue eyes came into focus. She’d called him hot. He rubbed harder, imagining her sex kitten lips wrapping around the head of his dick.

He tugged on his zipper, and then his phone rang.

“Fuck.” He grumbled as he made his way across the room for his cell. “Hoffmann.”

“Sorry, Miles. I know I promised you the night off.”

“You don’t need to apologize, and you didn’t need to make it up to me. If you need me, I’ll be out the door in a second.” He reached for his boots and pulled them on.

“I’ve just pulled a woman over, and you’re flagged in her record.”

“Wieland?” He swallowed against the sudden dryness in his throat. “Is she okay?”

“Yes, she’s fine. Bewildered, but fine. It sounds strange, but I’m getting the impression she was out here looking for you.”

“Tell me she wasn’t speeding.”

“Can’t do that. What do you want me to do?”

“Tell me where you are and I’ll be right there.”

Romantic Rendezvous Blog Hop

Next weekend, we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s day, but the party starts today. Below you’ll find my giveaway, the link to the rafflecopter for the Grand Prize, and a link to find all the other hop participants.

Chicago has been the backdrop for my books and it’s also the place where my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary years ago. Whenever I think about that anniversary, I’m reminded how any place can be romantic. It doesn’t matter where you are.

Sometimes you need warm weather, sometimes you need something special to eat, or something pretty, like flowers or jewelry. The hero and heroine in my latest release, “In the Blind”, find love and romance in the darkest of places which is not necessarily where you’d think you’d find romance. Romance finds you when you’re not looking for it but it also finds you when you make it happen.

Here’s a snippet from the first chapter of “In the Blind”:

The door continued to open every few minutes. Finally, the woman in front of Jane was taken away. She could see nothing past the door besides black. Until the door closed, she continued gazing into the darkness. How would the loss of sight change the experience? Would she feel more? What would he feel like? Nerves shook through her limbs, and sweat tickled her palms.

The door opened, and she stood straight as a statue. This was crazy. She searched for pockets in her robe. When she found none, she swallowed back a curse.

The escort stopped in front of her. “Are you having second thoughts?” He shifted the goggles higher on his forehead.

“Maybe.”

“Would you like to step back and wait to go or …” He stepped back and cracked the door open. “Sometimes it helps to hear the sounds of the other participants.”

She closed her eyes and took in the moans and let her mind drift to what her body would feel like to make her make those kinds of sounds.

“I don’t want to pressure you. Tell me what you want.”

“Thank you.” She opened her eyes and took a step towards him. The only way was forward. “I’m ready.”

“Good for you.” He reached out and took hold of her hand. “Come on, I’ll take you to the lucky one, for tonight.” He winked and tugged her forward.

Once the door closed behind them, Jane was surrounded by unending black. She looked around, but there was nothing, no end to the darkness. A nervous shiver danced along her spine, followed by thoughts of haunted houses. What would she find around the next corner? Her escort tugged her forward, bringing her back to the night’s purpose.

She needed to remember why she was here. She needed to live in the moment. There was a good chance she was about to touch the man who would give her release.

They slowed, turned a corner, and after a couple more steps they stopped. She swallowed the lump in her throat when her escort placed her hand into another’s.

“Enjoy.” He squeezed her shoulder, and she sensed his presence leave the space.

A pull on her hand forced her feet forward a couple of steps. She stopped just as abruptly when she bumped into a hard chest—the man of the hour. This man would touch her soon, but he wasn’t yet. He was only holding her hand. Her breasts moved with her uneven breathing, and her nipples scraped against his chest.

Why wasn’t he touching her? Was he nervous, too, or having second thoughts? She reached up in curiosity to make sure he wasn’t wearing a pair of night-vision goggles, but only found soft hair. She followed the section of hair to above his shoulder and continued onto smooth skin and around his shoulder to his bicep thick with muscle. Her heart thumped, and her breath quickened as moisture covered her needy pussy.

She breathed deeply, taking in his delicious musky scent. Her hand wandered to his chest and found more of the same, firm skin rounding over firm muscles. A warm hand landed over hers and held her hand tight to his chest. A nose tickled her ear.

“Do you like?”

“Yes,” she admitted.

“I’d like to explore you now, okay?”

“Yes, please.”

She pushed out the breath she held and worked to breathe normally. His hand landed softly on her cheek, fingertips caressed her chin, and then up to her temple. The gentle touches raised a long sleeping yearning within her, and she leaned into his touch.

His thumb swept across her bottom lip. Curiosity wore away her reserve, and she let her tongue reach out and taste his fingers. One digit pushed into her mouth, and she sucked lightly, enjoying his clean taste.

The finger left her mouth, a second of waiting, and then his mouth crushed down on hers. His lips were firm and demanding, feeding her hunger. He ran his fingers through her hair, and then his warm wet tongue swept through her mouth. Back and forth, deep, then gentle, their tongues dueled. She explored more of him as her need to know him intimately soared.

His touch lingered around her shoulders and down her sides. When he found her ass, he kneaded the globes. The kiss ended as abruptly as it started, leaving her wanting.

She heard nothing but the driving rhythm of the music, each track feeding right into another. The current song enchanted her, and her hips swayed. No one could see her, so there was no reason for self-conscious thoughts. The brilliance of the club hit her with full force. It didn’t matter who she was or who he was. Tonight, they celebrated life and the pleasures they could bring their bodies. Everyone deserved pleasure. Even her.

In the Blind cover

BLURB:

Jane thinks she’s ready to take the risks her business and love life desperately need. Rob’s still punishing himself for a broken relationship that wasn’t meant to last. When the pair let an opportunity pass them by, fate steps in and throws them back together.

An evening of pitch black unrestrained passion at Club Blind opens her eyes to life’s possibilities. Now, if they don’t fight past their personal demons, they might never truly discover what they need most. If they can open their hearts, it might lead them directly to each other where they can discover their truth. If not, they may forever stay in the blind.

5 Stars: “The sex scenes were beyond hot. Jane and Rob had crazy chemistry in every scene really.” –Sassy Southern Book Blog

4 stars: “There was humor, some angst, romance, and of course, I already mentioned the incredible sex.  You’ll be quite satisfied by the end.  I know I sure was.” –Cocktails and Books

4.5 Stars: “The story grabs your attention in the first chapter, has you turning pages to see how the story develops and was well written” – In the Pages of a Good Book

Mid Week Tease -Fantasy Bells Are Ringing- a snippet from Unshakable Me (Uniform Fetish Anthology)

click to see all the Mid Week Teases here at SJsWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the talented, Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’m sharing another snippet from Unshakable Me. It will be in the anthology, Uniform Fetish, releasing February 27th by Evernight Publishing.

Last Week: Emma got pulled over and you could say she didn’t make a good first impression. This Week: I’ve skipped over the rest of the first chapter. Oops. But I’m giving you this fun exchange with Emma and her two besties, Candy (from Untangle Me) and Mary (from Unravel Me).  Enjoy!

______________

“So, the cop really frisked you?”

“Yes, the whole thing was humiliating.” She took one last sip and set the olive stick back in the glass. “But, I have to say, if I hadn’t almost been hauled off to the clinker, it would have been hot as hell.”

“Oh really, tell me he was cute.” Candy scouted a little closer and pushed Emma’s drink out of her reach.

“Yes, he was so good looking. The kind of blue eyes you could get lost in, and he really filled out his uniform if you know what I mean.” She sat up a little straighter.

“I bet your fantasy bells were ringing like wild.”

“Oh, that’s right. Our little Emma’s into the voyeurism thing.”

“You better believe it. I had no idea what a turn-on it would be to get pulled over by a hot cop. He felt along my shoulders and down around my ass. It was delicious.” She raised her hand, positioning her thumb just under her pointer finger. “I was this close to falling to my knees when he told me he worked security for Keller.”

“Do you think he’s a Dom?”

“He’s got to be.” Emma looked up towards the ceiling, imaging her cop commanding her at the club.

“I wonder if he’ll be here tonight.” Candy looked over her shoulder and then nudged Mary, pointing at something behind them, but Emma couldn’t be deterred.

“Now that I’ve had a few of these, I’m really hoping we run into him.” She reached for her glass, almost knocking it over when she pulled out her olive stick. “In fact, I’m tempted to speed down that same road if we don’t find him.”

“Where will your hands be when you get pulled over again?” A familiar voice rumbled against her ear.

He intended to ensure her safety and in return she stole his heart.

If getting pulled over for speeding wasn’t a bad enough first impression, Emma Wieland was about to make it worse. Officer Miles Hoffmann had his life in order. Working hard and helping those around him was his routine, that’s until Emma sped into his life. The pair are on a one way ticket to destiny. The only question is how much they’ll wreck on their way to finding love.

Be Warned: spanking, BDSM, public exhibition
