Publisher: Evernight Publishing
UNTANGLE ME 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.
An EXCLUSIVE Excerpt from UNTANGLE ME :
Seth walked out of her office and her life. Ivy was confident she’d done the right thing. A few minutes in his presence and she was working chains and affairs into her sentences. Not only was he was out of her league, but she was pretty sure mister professional would be uncomfortable with her sexual preferences.
“What were you thinking? You don’t have any appointments today,” Candy said.
“It’s for the best. He might be interested now, but not after he gets to know me.” She rubbed at her forehead. “Maybe I will take the rest of the day off. Suddenly, my head is killing me.”
“Good for you. Fridays are the best for taking off early.” She pointed her pen right at Ivy. “Maybe after a day off you’ll start making sense again, because right now, I’m only hearing crazy talk.” She got up and walked into Ivy’s office.
“Nice.”
“You always told me to be honest,” she said as she came back with Ivy’s purse.
“I did. I see now how that’s backfiring on me.” Ivy took her purse. “See you Monday. Call me if anything comes in and don’t forget to check new clients against the black list.”
“Ugh.” Candy threw up her hands. “That’s what I forgot to do last week. I’m so sorry.”
“That’s okay, but don’t forget to go back and check everyone.”
“I’m going to do that today. I promise.” Candy ran around the desk and wrote on the notepad.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s hard when things get busy.”
“Thank you. Now, get out of here and go have some fun.”
“Will do,” she said with the biggest smile she could muster. Ivy grabbed the dollar bill from the vase and walked out of the office.
She hadn’t taken an afternoon off in over a year. It felt like she was playing hooky and she had no idea what to do. All her friends were working. Shopping alone was no fun.
Maybe she could pick up an extra training session at Club Voyage. Ivy had only joined the BDSM club a couple months ago, after an enlightening conversation with her cousin’s girlfriend, but it was the first time her sexual preferences had made any sense. The dues were steep and worth every penny. It was the one luxury she indulged in.
She sent a text to her trainer, Master Marcus and walked out the front door. Sunshine heated her skin. She stopped and smiled up at the sky taking in the moment. What a beautiful day.
“Someone must have canceled on you.”
She lowered her head and spotted Seth standing next to a sleek black car. Heat lit up her cheeks. Maybe if she didn’t move, she could blend into the pavement and disappear, never to be seen again.
“Please tell me someone had the bad taste to cancel because I know you didn’t just lie to me, right?”
“I thought you would have been gone already.” She clasped a hand over her mouth.
“That’s fine.” His easy smile told her he wasn’t lying either. “I’d rather you be honest with me, even if it does hurt my feelings.”
“I’m sorry. I’m not sure how that slipped out.”
“I’m not sorry. Now you can make it up to me.” He opened his car door. “I’m taking you to lunch.”
She swallowed the lump in her throat. His smile was gone. It was no longer a question. She soaked in his command and stepped into his car without thinking it through.

A visit from The Housewife and the Film Star by Doris O’Connor
Thanks so much for having me here today. 🙂
Film Stars, we all love them right? I’ve had my fair share of crushes over the years, and ever since I first watched the grand old American movies on my battered little black and white telly, when I was growing up, I’ve loved the movies. I used to blow my entire pocket money on cinema tickets.
Those were the days…
Nowadays, I’m lucky to get to the cinema for special occasions, and then it’s usually for kid’s birthdays, so we’re watching what they want. I don’t read magazines or the papers, and if it wasn’t for my teenage children, I wouldn’t know who half of the big actors are these days.
So when I first came up with the idea for this story that was very much in the back of my mind. With the yummy visual of tall Alexander Skarsgard in my mind—those who know me will know of my obsession with this particular Swedish actor, lol—an idea was born.
What would happen if your simple Mrs. Ordinary were to meet one of these Film Stars? Sylvia is a mum of three, a widow with a painful past, who is not looking for another relationship, let alone with a man of Sven’s reputation.
Sven is a jaded A-Lister who needs to repair that damaged reputation. He’s a tortured soul who doesn’t trust women, not one little bit. However, all that changes, when Sylvia literally falls into his arms. This mystery lady is a contradiction in terms, and the fact that she doesn’t seem to know who he is… well, that’s a temptation he can’t resist.
As their private affairs get aired all over the papers, and family, friends, and managers alike, all have an opinion on their relationship, do they stand any chance of making it work?
Can he trust this woman, or will she prove to be like all the others?
Can she place her trust, her submission, her kids, in the hands of this man, or is history going to repeat itself?
The Housewife and the Film Star
by Doris O’Connor
Released: October 21, 2013
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Blurb:
When international movie star Sven Larsson meets young widowed mom of three, Sylvia, the sexual chemistry between them is instant and explosive—and plastered all over the papers. Sven needs to repair his damaged reputation. The last thing he needs is another scandal, but the Dom in him can’t resist the challenge Sylvia represents.
Having survived an abusive marriage, Sylvia is not looking for another relationship, let alone a kinky one with a man of Sven’s reputation. Her submissive side can’t help but be drawn to him, especially once she gets to know the man behind the public image. She can’t help but fall in love with the private, broken Sven—even if he doesn’t do love.
With the paparazzi breathing down their necks at every turn, and past demons raising their ugly heads, will they ever be able to find happiness?
Be Warned: BDSM, anal sex, sex toys, spanking
Excerpt:
George finally stopped the car, and before Sylvia could determine where they were, Sven produced a blindfold out of nowhere. He tied the thing over her head, and forestalled any protest she might have uttered with a heart-stopping kiss.
“No peeking now.” Sven’s low voice in her ear, one arm ‘round her waist, was the strongest aphrodisiac ever. Sylvia was sure she would simply dissolve into a puddle of drool were he not holding her up. The cool night air skittered across her heated skin, and the gentle sounds of lapping water made her wonder where they were.
Her heart leapt in her throat, not from fear but anticipation. She could never be afraid when Sven was holding her so carefully. The whispered conversation with George in Swedish was interspersed with laughter, whilst she leaned against the Jag, desperately trying to control her breathing and telling the sensible side of her brain to fuck off. She was done with being sensible, and, whatever happened over this weekend, she was going to meet it head on.
“Bye, Sylvia.” George’s laughter made her wave her hand in the general direction of his voice, and then she was back in Sven’s arms. His by now familiar scent wrapped itself round all her female senses.
“Ready?”
“No.”
She couldn’t stop the squeaky protest of her last remaining sensible brain cells escaping, and his answering amused chuckle in her ear had heat rising in her cheeks.
“Trust me?”
Did she trust him? Now that was one hell of a question. The tenseness of his arms matched the tremor in his voice.
“Baby? We won’t do anything you don’t want to do, I can promise you that. I can call George back right now if you’ve changed your mind.”
The heat of his body surrounded her like a physical caress and stoked the fire in her belly to flashpoint as he waited for her answer. Everything seemed to be heightened in those few moments. The sounds of the water, the creak of ropes, the breeze that lifted the hem of her skirt, and Sven’s heavy breathing, as his hands skimmed across her back and up to her neck to tilt her head up. Feather light kisses whispered across her face, and his warmth surrounded her. The only place their bodies touched was his hands and his lips on her skin as he murmured in Swedish in-between kisses, and she couldn’t help the sigh of delicious anticipation as her body relaxed into the sensations assaulting her.
“I should warn you, though. I have every intention of convincing you that you need to stay with me, and, once I get inside you, I shall not let you go. I’m going to fuck you so hard you’ll be hoarse from screaming my name.”
The growled words zeroed straight to her core and left a trail of fire in their place. Not caring where they were anymore, she groped blindly until her fingertips connected with the cotton of his shirt. Bunching the thin material in her fists, she pulled him toward her until her breasts were pressed flat against his shirt, and she could feel his thundering heartbeat match her own.
“I haven’t changed my mind, Sven. Please I want you inside me now.”
“Thank fuck for that, baby, and hold onto me.”
Before she could draw another breath, he lifted Sylvia against him. Her dress rose up high as she automatically locked her legs around his hips. One shoe clattered to the ground, and the cool breeze on her exposed backside hitched her own arousal even higher. Sven rushed to carry her indoors. Every bounce against him brought her wet and aching pussy in direct contact with the rock-hard erection straining through his jeans. The friction his movements created against her clit brought her closer and closer to another release, and her hips moved against him of their own accord, whilst she whimpered her need into his shoulder.
A door banged shut behind them, and Sven’s vicious curse rumbled through her. He pinned her against a wall, and his body held her up, his hands stilling her hips.
“Don’t you dare go without me, Sylvia, not until my cock is in you, filling you, making you mine. I want that tight cunt of yours squeezing my cock this time.”
Sylvia almost screamed as his hand found her slick folds and ripped her knickers clean off. Her need to get herself closer to those clever fingers overwhelmed her completely. Her needful whimpers hung in the air between them as Sven probed her entrance. He stretched her, and his mouth found hers. His tongue mimicked his fingers as she once again hovered on that painful edge.
A nip of teeth on her lips made her groan in frustration at the loss of his fingers.
“Sven, please, I need…”
“What, lady, what do you need … this?”
A hard thrust of his still-clothed cock had her bite in his shoulder, helpless with the need to have him inside of her. God, what was happening to her? This wild creature begging him to fill her wasn’t her, was it? But she was going to explode if he didn’t do something, anything.
“Give me a minute to get out of these fucking trousers.”
The loss of his body felt like a physical ache. Every atom in her body craved his touch, his scent, fuck, just him, and she helplessly squeezed her thighs together, intensifying the ache only he could fill. Time went agonizingly slowly as she listened to the rustle of clothing, accentuated by their heavy breathing until the rip of foil raised her anticipation to fever pitch again.
Yes, please yes…
He gripped her thighs with his strong hands, and spread her wide. With Sven’s agonized growl in her ear he lifted her against the blessed wall again, and his cock nudged her entrance.
“God, you’re so wet, so ready, baby. I wanted to take this slow, but I can’t. Fuck, I want you so much.”

Author Bio
Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris… at least that’s what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.
There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.
She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.

Spotlight: Night of the Horse by Elodie Parkes
Elodie Parkes is back today (click here to see her interview and post for The Last Time). Today, she’s sharing her release from on of my favorite lines at Evernight Publishing, Romance on the Go. Plus, she’s sharing a GIVEAWAY you’re not going to want to miss. Keep your eye on the Evernight Publishing site because Elodie has a new release coming soon, Swoop on Love.
‘Night of the Horse’ is erotic paranormal romance. A steamy, contemporary love story set in present day England in a semi-rural town.
Summer has just begun and Rosie, our heroine is feeling wistful. She’s lonely and beginning to wonder if she’ll ever find love.
When she meets our heroes, it’s Lust at first Sight
Jude
He’s passionate, enigmatic, alpha, and sexy.
Justin
He’s sensual, gentle, loving, and sexy.
A lonely young woman signs up for dance lessons. Two gorgeous guys find her as fascinating as she finds them. On the country road where she lives, she hears horses in the night, and opens her bedroom window to watch them gallop. They’re beautiful, a silver white horse and tall black horse…they turn to stare at her. Had they heard and understood when she sighed over them?
The characters meet excerpt:
Rosie hesitated in the shop doorway. The door opened with the tinkling of the bell and a man stood before her. Taller than her by a head and some, Rosie found herself staring at his chest. She noticed his muscles even through his loose denim shirt. She looked up into his beautiful face. His eyes were such a dark blue they were almost black in the shade of the doorway. His eyelashes were long, thick, and definitely black. He had almost black hair, glossy and long, but tied back. She stared up at him.
He looked down at her and smiled.
“Are you coming into the shop?” His friendly tone made Rosie smile, too.
As he blocked the way, she nodded. “I’m about to inquire about the dance lessons. I saw the poster.”
The man watched her closely, as if taking a mental picture of her.
“I’d love to see you there. Come in and sign up.” He turned and pushed the door open again, holding it so she had to pass close to his body. Rosie enjoyed the proximity, letting herself dream for a moment that she could be held in his arms, pressed against his muscular chest.
“Thank you.” She expected him to leave the shop then, but he followed her to the counter and passed around to the other side. Another young man came out of a small office situated towards the back of the shop and jogged down to the counter. He was very attractive, his short, spiked hair almost white it was so blond. His eyes were a lovely chocolate brown. His smile lit up his face as he moved around the dark-haired man to talk to Rosie.
“How can I help you?” he asked. A flicker of amusement passed over the dark-haired man’s face. She looked past him to the blond one.
“Well … I’m thinking of enrolling for the dance classes.” Nervous around the two gorgeous men, her heartbeat sped up.
“You must. She should. Don’t you think, Jude?” The blond guy stood alongside the other man and addressed him.
“I do.” Jude accompanied his answer with a sultry look directed at Rosie.
She felt confused for a moment. It had been so long since a man gazed at her with any interest, and now, as she looked from one man to the other, she saw they were both interested in her. A wave of elation mixed with fear welled up in her. She wanted to run out of the shop.
“I’m Justin and this is Jude.” The blond man introduced them both and waited for Rosie to provide her name.
“Rosie Cartwright.” Rosie’s voice came out in a whisper.
“Cartwright. Mmm.” Justin glanced at Jude.
“We’re starting classes this evening, Rosie, so please sign up.” Jude’s voice and stare was dreamy. Rosie felt so drawn to him, and yet when Justin handed her a small form and a pen, his fingers touched hers and a jolt ran up her arm into her heart. She looked into his chocolate brown eyes, and then at his enticing lips, wanting to kiss him.
“Is it okay to come alone? Will there be other people there to partner with?” Rosie felt foolish and needy as she asked this. She scribbled her name, address, and cell phone number onto the form, and ticked the box to pay by credit card.
Jude leaned onto the counter top and turned the form around to read it. He looked across into Rosie’s eyes, his sapphire-blue gaze broadcasting sexual heat.
“I’ll partner you. I do that. Justin teaches, but he partners too if necessary. We have lots of people coming, almost twenty. You can start this evening, can’t you, Rosie?”
She nodded. “I can. I will. Do I need to pay now?”
Justin took the form out of Jude’s hand. “No, Rosie. See how you like it tonight, and then decide on the six-week course. If you go for that then you will need to commit to both Saturday and Wednesday sessions. Here’s the brochure.”
Rosie watched as he took a colored bi-fold from a stack and offered it to her. His fingertips brushed against hers. She opened the bi-fold to note the lessons were held in the village hall, and glanced back at both men. “Do I need special shoes or anything?”
Both of them smiled at her, their gaze soft and kind. Jude answered. “No. Just shoes that will stay on and not trip you when you’re dancing.”
Rosie didn’t want to leave the shop, but she knew she must. She backed away from the counter waving the colored brochure gently. “I’ll see you this evening. Thank you, for this.” The words she didn’t say hung in the air as she left the shop.
She walked up the main street feeling incredibly happy. They both like me. I’ll get to dance with Jude. I’ll feel his arms around me. How completely yummy. What a surprise. This is so great. Justin is incredibly sexy. Wow.

Inside Look with Bethany-Kris author of A Mile High
>> Click here for my Evernight Birthday Bash Post <<
Please help me welcome Bethany-Kris. She’s here to celebrate her debut,
Here we go, first question: Picture your favorite place in the world. Now, can you tell us a little bit about the place you’ve pictured?
Yellow, orange skies. White sand. Crystal water. (Clearly I need a vacation)
Lol, so do I! Tell us about yourself: Who are you and why did you start writing?
My name is Bethany-Kris, and yep, I spell it just like that with no last name. I’m a Canadian author, lover of much, and mother to two young sons named Rohan and Lexan. One is almost four, the other is almost two. They keep me crazy busy. I love just about anything that’s bad for my health, work way too much, and don’t write nearly as often as I would like.
I started writing during an ordered best rest with my first pregnancy. I posted online for free under a different penname. All that is still there, also. I wasn’t the best at first, but who really is? I got better. I met great people. Betas with awesome talent were suddenly working with me. So, I continued. Nearly five years later, I’m still writing, except now it’s on a more professional level.
That’s awesome. My sons are just a little bit older and they keep me crazy busy too. Motherhood is hard work for sure. When you are not writing what are your favorite hobbies?
Wait…writing is my only hobby! Ha ha. No, really, it is. Between my fulltime job and the two boys, two cats, and two dogs, when I get to write, it is my time away.
I know what you mean. Writing is such a joy for me that I don’t need or want time away from it. Can you tell us about your challenges in getting your first book published?
Well, my first, A Mile High, wasn’t the first book I put out there under a publisher’s scrutiny. A different manuscript was, and it was denied. That was a hard pill for me to swallow, but I did, and I continued. Three days later, my submission for A Mile High was accepted.
My story is very similar. Can you tell us about a criticism you’ve received that pushed you into a better writing place?
One of my stories from a long time ago was given a great deal of criticism, not because of the writing, the grammar, the editing, whatever…no, but because the readers didn’t agree with the choices I made in regards to the plot. Crit is one thing, bashing someone on a personal level is something entirely different. I made a choice then to turn cheek at bad comments, reviews, whatever. I’ll accept anyone who wants to help me be better, and by learning to overlook the ones who don’t have that to offer allowed me to enjoy my writing as I wanted it to be seen and heard. It made me happier with my own writing, honestly.
That’s awesome and a very important thing to learn. Which one of your characters would you most like to meet in real life?
Oh, Sal from A Mile High, definitely. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. He’s got the charm going on and the humor to boot. Not to mention his ability to convince a woman to sleep with him on a plane. Hands down, Sal.
He sounds like a fabulous book boyfriend. 🙂 What turns you on creatively?
Music, pictures, general circumstance. It can be anything that catches my mind’s eye for a moment. If I can plot something out in my head by the way the leaves turned color in a week’s time, I’ll do it. Inspiration hits everywhere for me.
What is your greatest fear?
Surprisingly, it’s not failure. Being a writer, I kind of figure there will be a time when something will be seen as a failure. No, my greatest fear kind of revolves around my beautiful children. I hope the lives I gave this world are proud of me for the accomplishments I’ve made. Every word I put to paper is for them, in one way or another.
That’s beautiful. I bet you’re a really wonderful mom. What is your greatest extravagance?
Heh—Phones. Seriously, I update mine at least once every six months. Something new comes out, and I gotta have it.
Oh, and books. I have a library in my house…no, really, an actual library. So, I pick up paperbacks and hardcovers by the handful every time new releases are out.
Wow, that’s so cool. I have books all over my house. I think when my kids are older, I’ll have to designate their playroom as my library. 😀 What is your favorite music (genre/artist/album/song)?
Lana Del Rey is a favorite artist. Anything by her makes it into my fave list.
The Civil Wars – Poison and Wine is also a song that haunts me forever.
Finally, Counting Stars by OneRepublic reminds me of A Mile High, so it gets a special mention.
I love The Civil Wars. They are uber talented. What is the one thing you do after finishing a story?
I celebrate, usually with coffee…and cigarettes (see, things that are bad for me). The manuscript can need hours of work, but I still stop to enjoy my moment of finishing something worth reading.
Yeah! I. Love. Coffee. It definitely helps me soak in a moment. (I’m not even going to mention the cigarettes. Nope. Promise.) Tell us a bit about the projects you are working on now?
I have two works in progress, A Love Unfinished. This is a paranormal/shifters romance that’s nearly finished, so I’m about to have a celebratory dance for that.
Another is The Scandal of Three, a ménage erotic romance that I have just begun.
But, right now, I’m working on promoting A Mile High. It’s a contemporary erotic romance published by Evernight Publishing. It’s brand new, and my first ever release.
Here’s the summary for it: Olivia wants a vacation, that’s all, but when the airline screws up her plans for a week getaway to the beautiful Barbados, instead putting her on a new path that intertwines with the handsome, funny, and charming Sal, she can’t say no to his offer of joining the mile high club. Their meeting is explosive, attraction intense, and when the flight ends, Olivia is unwilling to part ways but unable to voice her wants. Still, fate is at work with its own plan, and where it finishes just might not be where it ends up.
There’s nothing quite like sex at a mile high.

Today I have fellow Friday Flasher, Ray Sostre. He’s here to talk about the definition of Love Out Of Lust and this is also the title of his just released series. Parts one and two are available now and part three is on its way. You’ll find the sexy covers, blurbs, an excerpt, and links below. I’ve read part one and I’m looking forward to part two. Take it away, Ray. 🙂
Definition of Love Out Of Lust
Imagine yourself living with someone of the opposite sex you never thought you’d ended up having sexual attractions with – your roommate. Your roommate recently broke up with someone, and had swore off being serious for a long time. Think of yourself in the same relationship status; single with no ties and bounds. Think of the possible convenience with someone – sexually? Would you take it?
The idea of lust is to express those long, hidden desires with someone that you’ve wanted to share you sexual fantasies and experience with. Something has sparked that sexual attraction between you and the other person. What is strange is that you’d never thought it be someone like your best friend. He/She shares the same feeling for you sexually, but one respects the nature of the friendship between you and the other person.
Think of yourself sharing the same desire of being naked together, on the couch, fucking hard and strong, letting out the inner-demon in you, yet watching your best friend share the same inner-demon in them; up to the point where you want this person for the rest of your life. The real question is would you be willing to go through this? All it takes is a moment of weakness, and the rest is history; jealousy, confusion, insecurity, and hopeless feelings come to play between you and the other person, but if a communication is build there is trust and hope.
All relationships must have a source of lust, but in the end the party must decide between the idea of Love or Lust. Which one is it?
When I came out with the “Love Out Of Lust Series”, I wanted to go all out of how a fantasy relationship between two people should be. I want to express how two best friends had this sexual desire, but yet the comfort between them made it difficult to just keep it sexual. One has to give way; one way or another. Sexual relationships are awesome, but only short-term. I, as an author, has had several sexual relationships, and I’ve always began my relationship in a sexual relationship. I learned that there can only be one that will be just right for you. I was fortunate to find one of my type, but without love, there’s no hope for happiness; only despair.
“Love Out Of Lust” is a series that explains the joy of a sexual relationship, and then the consequences, because the ones who get hurt are two people who initiated the sexual relationship. Nothing lasts forever; things change. But I promise this series to have a happy ending, but I want to explain the doubts and possibilities of pain, before there is hope, while providing the most sweltering scene to keep you locked in your bathroom, I hope. 🙂
While Part One is just the beginning to the story. I want to create my hottest stories from this series, and I want you to enjoy both Part One & Part Two, available on Smashwords and soon Amazon.
BLURB to Love Out Of Lust – Part One
Daryl & Marisol have been best friends since childhood, and live together as roommates.
The two never developed this attraction, until one night when Marisol admitted some things to him out of a moment of weakness, and Daryl pursued those feeling himself. When their moment of weakness turns into something sexual, where does their friendship lead from
there?
BLURB to Love Out Of Lust – Part Two
It just happened. Daryl & Marisol had sex for the first time and they felt weird about it. Was it meant to be? Can they just keep it as a one-time thing? And if they can’t, can they maintain their friendship without being hurt?
Here is the excerpt to Love Out Of Lust – Part One.
“Can I be honest with you?” Marisol asked.
“What’s that?”
“I too have masturbated more than I’ve had sex. So don’t feel bad.”
He sighed with a slight frown, go ahead rub it in, but wondered what she’d look like while she masturbated? He’d heard her a few times, and now here they were sharing their most intimate moments about themselves. He was turned on, and he wondered if she felt it too. To add to it, what was she really wearing underneath her robe?
However, he played it off. “I never thought you’d masturbate.”
“I have ever since I was twelve; I experienced my first orgasm at that time. I even keep my toys in my bedroom.”
“So that explains the strange sounds coming from the other room,” he joked.
Marisol reached over and tapped his leg, laughing. “Shut up. You act like you’ve been quiet. I can hear you play porn in your bedroom.”
“Oh, but you’re louder.”
“No I’m not… am I?”
“I’ve heard you moan but never bugged you about it.”
“Am I really that loud?” She asked with a sense of insecurity.
“Yes, you’re that loud.” He emphasized the meaning. “Here’s how. Just a week ago, I heard you moaning out of pleasure. At first, I thought you had someone in your bedroom but realized it was just you alone. I heard something buzzing from your bedroom, and that sucker was really loud. Then I heard your screams. You suck at muffling them, especially when I’m trying to sleep.”
Her face reddened. She somehow remembered that night. “Oh, my god, I didn’t know I was that loud.”
“You were. I heard you masturbate all through the night, I…” he paused, wondering if he should admit what he did.
“You what? Tell me,” she pushed.
“Nah, nothing.”
Her eyes widened in reaction. “Wait a minute, you masturbated to me masturbating?’

Her Wish, His Command Blurb
Doctor Anna Foster may just get what she wants: sexy fellow researcher Jonah Granger. She’s been in love with him for years, but Jonah has always been more interested in work at his family’s business, Granger Pharma, than romance. Now that they’ve admitted their attraction, Anna may even be able to tell him what she really wants: to submit to him.
But Granger Pharma faces a hostile takeover. Sensitive data and samples are missing from Anna and Jonah’s lab; it may be corporate espionage. Everyone is under suspicion and, and they’re even beginning to question each other. Anna must discover the truth if she’s going to save both her job and her relationship with the man she dreams of serving.

Her Wish, His Command Excerpt
Jonah sipped from his cup. “This coffee is better than usual. What did you do?”
“I washed out the pot and filter?” Anna laughed and threw her braid back over her shoulder. Wasn’t playing with hair supposed to be a flirty thing to do? She glanced into Jonah’s eyes and saw his pupils dilate ever so slightly.
Jonah placed his cup on the counter. “I usually just dump the old coffee.”
Anna reached to top him off, making sure she grazed him again. She turned and put the coffee pot back in its place. Her hip bumped him.
“Anna?” he asked in a deep, questioning tone.
“Yes?” She paused. “Jonah?” She drew his name out on her tongue.
His eyes locked with hers. “What’s this about?”
Anna broke eye contact as his scrutiny became too intense. “What’s what about?”
“This.” He gestured toward her. “Is this about yesterday?”
Anna wasn’t sure where to go with her plan. “Yesterday?” She feared her manner gave the impression of stupid instead of coy.
“Yes, yesterday. We had a moment, for lack of a better term. Is this some game?”
Anna straightened. “Game? What is that supposed to mean?” Her voice lost its teasing edge.
“It means that either you are trying to needle me or maybe … maybe you want something?”
Anna frowned. “Those are the only two explanations?”
Jonah considered for an instant. “Anna, you’re not interested in me, are you?”
Anna thumped her mug on the counter. “Of course not.” Color rose in her face.
“Anna, about yesterday. I didn’t mean to be unprofessional.” His apologetic manner unnerved her.
“You were not unprofessional,” Anna bit out. What a disaster. Was he going to say something kind? Anna didn’t think she could bear the embarrassment.
Jonah took her hand lightly in his. Her hand trembled, and Anna was sure he felt it. “Are you afraid?” He looked into her eyes. “Or aroused?”
Anna swayed as his calloused thumb stroked her palm. The lab seemed to shrink, the walls gathering close around them.
He tugged on her hand, bringing to his lips. He nipped her fingertip.
Anna struggled to remain impassive as her blood surged. She sensed she hadn’t fooled Jonah with her imperfect façade of calm.
A predatory masculine smile crossed his face. “I see.” He sucked her fingertip into his mouth.
