Taking Chances | Taking Courage | Untangle Me | Executive Assistant

I am a happy author. My fabulous publisher, Evernight Publishing has published four of my books and that number will soon grow to five. I’m in the middle of my last round of edits. I cannot wait to share In the Blind with you.

Last year, I had no idea if my dream of becoming a published author would ever happen. When Evernight Publishing said yes that first time, they took a chance on a dreamer, a lover of romance, and a nervous Nellie, lol. Little did I know, I would be welcomed into a family with open arms. The friendships I’ve made are priceless.

Today, I want to talk about my most recent release with Evernight. It’s the second book in my Love Projects series, Taking Courage. Here are quotes from a couple reviews on Goodreads:

“Author SJ Maylee keeps getting better and better!”

“This second book in the Love Project Series is witty and very steamy. Through the twists and turns, this book keep me enraptured until the end. And having a little of Jake and Lydia thrown is was a plus. What’s next Ms. Maylee? Cause I cannot wait!!”

“Prep list before you start reading this book: 1. A comfortable spot 2. A glass of wine 3. A vibrator and finally total privacy. Not an exaggeration if the chemistry between Janna and Simon upon first meeting isn’t enough to melt your undies off some of their scenes definitely will do the trick!”

😀

Below is an excerpt from the first chapter. During her last night in town, Janna finally enters Club Voyage, a private BDSM club, as a guest. Her escort for the evening has asked her to strip and she’s about half way there. Enjoy!

_________________________

The sounds of the club nagged at her attention, but they couldn’t compete with the dominant male watching her every move. She had a feeling his attention could be addictive.

She shook her head. Now was not the time to analyze. It was time to act. Her bra and panties needed to come off. She needed to reveal her body, not to the room, to this man … correction, this Dom. She was not leaving without giving this a real try.

Her gaze locked onto his and remained. After one more deep breath, she reached around and unclipped her bra. The free hand held the cups and smashed them into her chest. One arm, then the other and her shoulders were free. After one more deep breath, her fingers clawed around the bra cups and pulled, revealing her small breasts.

Cool air swirled around her tender tight nipples, and his gaze remained, unwavering. Could he see the nerves dancing along her skin? Her thumbs dragged along her thighs to her hips, hooked the corner of her panties, and pulled.

With the last of her clothes set on the table, she straightened her back and let her shoulders fall. She’d done it.

Master Simon made quick work of the buttons on his shirt, pulling it off his thick shoulders and added the garment to her pile. He stalked towards her, stopped about a foot away, tempting her. “Well done, pet.”

She melted on the inside and swayed her hips as warmth filled her core. His gaze released her, and she stood silent as he looked her over. Nerves threatened to walk back in, but she barred the way.

“Turn back around now and watch the others around us.”

A couple of new scenes had started. One in particular caught her attention. The sub was strapped to a horse of sorts and the Dom was fucking her from behind. Janna’s nipples tightened further, and her core heated until honey coated her sex. She’d watched similar scenes on-line dozens of times. The live version was unbearably hotter. A moan escaped her lips.

“You’re beautiful.” His warm body pressed up against her back, and a hand slid along her waist pulling her into him. She melted. His mouth caressed her ear. “Do you like what you see, pet?” He pressed her hips back against his fly. His hand lifted from her belly and smacked her pussy.

“Oh.” A delicious mingling of sensations floated over her.

“You must answer my questions. Do you understand?”

“I do, Sir.” Her sex heated further.

“Do you like what you see?” His hand returned to her stomach and pulled, pressing their bodies together.

“Yes, Sir.”

“I will be touching you while you watch the sub get fucked. You are free to orgasm.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

“You will use your safe word if you need to?”

“Yes, Sir.”

He shifted and pressed his hard cock into the left side of her ass. “Very good, pet. Now, watch the couple while I explore your body.”

His hand moved along her stomach and up to take hold of her breast, molding and tugging on the supple skin. She had never felt more alive. Pressure encased her nipples as he pinched and pulled.

“Oh!” Clamps were no match for the tension he was able to elicit. Her breasts swelled with glorious pleasure. “Sorry, Sir.”

“You can vocalize your pleasure. I like knowing you like what I do to you. Now is not the time for conversation, however. Unnecessary words will lead to punishment.” He pulled her nipples again. “I suspect you like the way that feels?”

“Yes, Sir. I do, more than I even thought I would.”

He pulled tighter and let go. Blood rushed back in, and her pleasure rose. She wanted to beg him to touch her pussy, but knew that might halt his progress and bring her away from her impending pleasure.

She let go of her need and watched the sub. She was bound and only moved when her Dom entered her from behind. The subs here had no control over what happened to their bodies. These Doms decided what they needed.

He pinched and pulled again. Her sex screamed to be touched. Fortunately, he left her stinging nipples and traveled in a line direct to her bare pussy. He pulled her outer lips apart, revealing her inner lips to anyone looking back at them and allowed the air in the room to feather across her damp skin.

Vulnerable.

His fingers delved into her. First one finger and then two pushed into her pussy and dragged the wetness around her clit. He pinched and pulled in short tugs to her clit, each time drawing more blood to the tender area. The pattern drove her right to the edge.

“Take a couple steps forward, spread your legs, and support yourself on the table.” When she didn’t move he added, “Now, pet.”

_________________________

Did it just get hot in here. 😀

BLURB:

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.

Be Warned: sex toys, spanking, BDSM, public exhibition, anal sex

Mid Week Tease – Stop Playing Around

Posted on October 1, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the fabulous Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

Today, I’m sharing from my next book to release:

In the Blind

Last Week I shared a fun conversation with Rob and his best friend, Marcus. This Week: I’ve skipped a bunch. I will give no spoilers. 🙂 Rob and Jane are being chauffeured home from Rob’s interview. Enjoy.

______________

“Thanks for bringing me here today.”

“You’re welcome. Thanks for giving it a chance.” She tugged at her blouse. “I’m pretty sure he’ll send an attractive offer. There will probably be only one thing in it we can change, but I’ll find it.”

“You’re a shark.”

“Hardly.”

“I admire that about you. You go after what you want, don’t you?”

“In my professional life, yes, I like to believe that’s true.” She’d taken lots of chances throughout her career. In business, she wasn’t afraid to take risks. She crossed her legs and angled herself towards him.

He shifted in his seat to face her directly. “What aren’t you going after in your personal life?”

“Pretty much everything.”

“What do you want?”

She turned to look out the window. He’d laid out the question she hadn’t pushed herself to answer. Her thoughts kept drifting to Saturday night and her mystery man. He’d made her fantasies come to life, but it was this man sitting next to her, the one who might not be totally ready, who made her heart flutter uncontrollably. The two together would be explosive. Which did she want? Which could she have?

“I want trust and friendship.”

“Is that all? I can give you that.”

She shifted in the seat and looked him right in the eye. “No, that’s not all.”

“Don’t play with me.”

“I’m not—”

He shifted towards her. His body got a few inches from her, and she pushed against his chest, her eyes clamped shut. Convincing herself he was still hung up on his ex made the possibility of getting hurt highly unlikely because, before he could hurt her, he would drift out of her life. But for now he was here, close, and pushing against her hand. She let her elbow bend, and he came closer. The rich manly scent of him drove her needs higher.

She wanted him with an urgency that caused her fingers to dig around the fabric of his shirt. Desire and nerves fought for her attention. Pushing him away would be safe. She had no desire for safety.

____________

Oh. I wonder what happens next. 😉 Come back next week and I promise to share the next bit. Also, I turned in edits last night and am expecting one more round and then release day will be here. Wahoo!

Unofficial 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.

Spotlight on First Bite by Tamsin Baker

Posted on September 29, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

First Bite

by Tamsin Baker

MMF Regency Novella

Published by Evernight Publishing

Blurb:

Can two possessive and passionate vampire’s make a relationship work with the one human they are both destined to love?

Benedict’s boring existence as a London gentleman is called into question the night he meets Lina, the madame of a local brothel. Under her dominance he finds pleasure so sweet he is hungry for more, but he is not the only one with an appetite to fill.

Lina entices the beautiful Benedict into her dungeon only to discover that he is her blood mate. Fear fills her as she enters the unknown, yet the lure of perfect bliss is too much.

Antony, Lina’s long time friend and lover finds Lina and Benedict and cannot help joining in the sexual bliss. Disaster strikes for the tortured hero when he too learns he is Benedict’s blood mate. He must face a past that still devastates him and find a way to make their ménage work.

Be Warned: menage sex (MMF), anal sex, bondage 🙂

Excerpt:

Lina focused on pushing her hunger for Benedict’s blood down to a less rampant level. She wanted to play with her prey for a little while first.

“Walk over to the wooden step to your left.”

Benedict turned his head and located the piece of equipment she was talking about. She sensed his fear inching up a notch but he did what she said.

Lina watched him move, feeling his emotions as though they were her own. He was naturally confident, strong and sure of himself. She would make him submit to her and in it he would find the greatest pleasure.

“Lay across the bench. Reach over as far down as you can.”

His eyes flashed a little, mutiny gathering in their yellow flecks.

“Lina, I’m not going to…”

“You will do as I tell you to, Benedict.” She placed a soft blanket over the wood to protect his pelvis, then she pointed at the bench expectantly. She could make him, she was far stronger, but this type of pleasure had to be accepted willingly, there was no other way.

“Will you hurt me?”

She flashed him a smile no one had ever resisted.

“Yes, but I will not harm you. If you yell stop, I’ll stop.”

His eyes narrowed as he replayed her words. She held his gaze, then pointed again.

He sighed but lay over the wood, his buttocks high, round and firm.

Lina groaned at the sight. What a magnificent specimen of a human male.

She knelt on the floor quickly to tie his ankles and wrists to the four separate legs of the bench, spreading him wide. Lina then stood and removed the annoying barriers of her dress, chemise and shoes.

Clad only in her garter belt and silk stockings, she pressed herself against Benedict’s ass, her wet pussy aching for release.

“Fuck…Lina!” Benedict struggled against his bonds, too strong for a mere human to break free from.

“Such a nice ass you have, Benedict and not a mark on it. Would you like me to spank you?”

He was silent as she reached between his legs and cupped the heavy sac.

“Perhaps.”

The teasing tone of his response made her smile. She loved his cheekiness.

She controlled her swing, and spanked him: twice on his left cheek and four times on the right. He cried out on the last touch, so she leaned forward to kiss the pink skin.

“Did you like that, my pet?”

She ran her hands down the back of his powerful thighs and up his ass once again.

“I don’t know.”

Lina smiled again. An honest response, how pleasantly unusual.

“I need something more.”

Using speed a human couldn’t see, Lina chose a riding crop from the wall and was back before Benedict realized she had gone.

“I think you are a good man, Benedict, but also a very bad boy. Shall I use my riding crop on you?”

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my story Unravel Me in the Evernight Publishing anthology, Executive Assistant.

LAST WEEK: Ms. Mary discovered how hard Colin would spank her with his narrow little paddle. THIS WEEK: Since Mary was begging for more, I’ve skipped nothing. Enjoy.

“You’re so wet. You want more don’t you, Ms. Mary?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“I’m curious how hard your pussy can grip.” He pushed two of his fingers deep inside her, pulled them out, and then right back in. “I want to feel your pussy quiver all over my cock.” He continued fucking her with his fingers, only stopping to smack her clit with the paddle.

“Sir, I need to come.” His dirty words and wicked movement had her tumbling right to ecstasy.

Yes! These two are so good together. This should be the start of their happy ending, right? Nope, things are about to unravel. More details about this anthology with my story are below.

Unravel Me BLURB:

Mary is determined not to be distracted by the devilishly handsome Colin whose business deal is halting a much needed park. Armed with a plan, she tries to ignore her growing attraction.

After reading her resume, Colin believes Mary isn’t right for him or his office. However, he’s about to risk his biggest business deal yet when Mary knocks him off his game. The pair gives in to their growing desires, but Mary’s plan might unravel everything they’ve been building.

Mid Week Tease – The Job or The Girl

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the beautiful Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

Today, I’m sharing from my next book to release:

In the Blind

Last Week and the weeks before I’ve been sharing their smushed meet and their not quite right time meet. This Week: Rob has just gotten off the phone with Jane. I’ve skipped that part. I know, I’m so naughty. 😉 He’s calling his best friend to talk about a possible new job. Well, he’s really calling to talk about a girl.

______________

“Marcus, she called.”

“Who is this?”

“Stop it. You know what I’m talking about.”

“You think? You’ve only managed to squeeze Jane into almost every conversation since the convention.”

“No, I have not.”

“Do you want a recap?”

“Okay, fine. I’m meeting her tomorrow for coffee.” He opened his closet and searched for the right suit.

“Sounds sexy.”

“She thinks she’s found a job for me. I played the conversation perfect, had her begging.” He shifted his still hard cock to a better position.

“I’ve found the right job for you, although I understand why you won’t consider.”

“Gina and I get along fine, not sure working with her would be a good idea though. I honestly don’t know how you’re doing it. I didn’t think you two got along.”

“It’s only been a couple months, but working for Keller is my dream job and I hardly ever see her.”

“Maybe Jane will have my dream job and—”

“You think she’ll take you, too, huh? At least now you’re no longer wearing that stupid ring. That thing was woman repellent.”

“I was married. I’d made a commitment.” Rob tore the dry cleaner bag off his charcoal suit.

“Apparently you were the only one. I still can’t believe she cheated on you.”

“Don’t remind me, but you know that’s not why our marriage fell apart.” He balled up the thin plastic and tossed it in the direction of his trash can.

“I know why your marriage fell apart, but not to worry, I won’t say I told you so.”

“Someday we’ll talk about it. I don’t think you’re ready yet.” He walked over to where the plastic had landed, picked it up, and shoved it into the trash.

“Whatever. Speaking of ready, when are you going to check out Club Voyage? I thought Mistress Charlie had you complete the paperwork.”

“She did, but I haven’t turned it in yet.”

“You’ve denied yourself long enough. It’s time to start taking care of your needs.”

“I know. I’ll turn it in this week. After my weekend, I don’t think anything is standing in my way.”

“You can thank me anytime you want.”

“Thank you, you were right. That was what I needed. Man, it was hot, and now I’ve got a hot date.”

“You’ve got a business meeting. Don’t mess it up.”

____________

There are some famous last words, not to mention a few clues for the 3rd book in the Love Projects series. 😀 I’m working on edits right now for In the Blind and hope to have news on its release date in a few weeks.

Inside Look with Carlene Love Flores author of Wicked Flower

Posted on September 23, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

click here for the Guilty Indulgence Hop

Happy day, Carlene is back with her rock stars. I’ve met a lot of nice people on this writer journey and one of the nicest is bar far, Carlene Love Flores. Her writing is easy to fall for too. Get ready to be hooked. Enjoy!

___________________

Happy Fall, y’all! How’s everyone doing today? I hope all is well. I’d like to give a gigantic cyber hug to S.J. She’s a special lady and I’m very grateful for what an awesome and supportive friend she is to her fellow writers. Today, I get to talk to you about the fifth book in my rock star romance series. Wicked Flower is Stefan Calderon’s story. He’s the bass playing lead singer of Sin Pointe and he was a very patient man who waited all this time for me to work up the nerve to write his story down. It wasn’t always easy to type the words coming out of his delectable naughty mouth, but I did it and looking back now, his moments are some of my favorites of the series. While we’re out on tour, I thought it would be fun to share a fave at each blog stop. So thank you so much for having us and today’s scene!

The Sin Pointe series books tend to be dark which is why I cherish the lighter, bubblier parts with all my heart. Stefan added many of those much needed bits of comic relief to Book 2, Sin’s Flower, because while the hero of this story is his band mate and good friend, Jaxon James, the heroine is nursing a pretty big crush on Stefan at first…

Elusive rock stars were just normal people on the inside.

God, she’d almost forgotten that detail about Jaxon James. At least it wasn’t Stefan Calderon, Sin Pointe’s lead singer, she had to go after. That man made her hum, all over, with his black hair, golden brown eyes and deep chocolate honey voice. A zoomy feeling raced around her pulse points. If only it had truly stemmed from Stefan lust. But no. She was scared she’d fail. That Jaxon James would take one look at Lily and see her as nothing special. She might not even get as far as explaining whose little sister she was. With her hands glued to the sides of her head and the bones of her elbows digging against the hard counter, she practiced the Lamaze breathing she’d learned with her sister.

And here is the Wicked Flower blurb:

Sin Pointe front man Stefan Calderon is playing a very dangerous game and his mom’s live-in caretaker, Dani Foster, just landed right smack in the middle of it.

Practically strangers when Stefan rolls into his small hometown looking to patch things up with Mom, his and Dani’s worlds collide with a hot and intense hook up. He knows right away this woman will make the perfect partner for his two weeks in town. But when she realizes whose son he is, and what he’s there to do, sexy times come to an abrupt halt.

That is until they come up with a solution. Rules. Every game needs them. The question isn’t if they’ll break them, but when and how hard.

It’s a wickedly delicious game, one neither of them intends to lose.

___________________

Thanks again for letting me share with you today. If you’d like to spend more time with Stefan in his own book, you can find Wicked Flower at these lovely places:

Inside Look with Ela Stein author of Saved By Perseus

Posted on September 22, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

click here for the Guilty Indulgence Hop

Thank you so much for having me here today! I’m really excited to share my new release. This story is special to me because I have loved Greek Myths since I was a child. My mom used to read them to me at bedtime, before I had even learned to read. I’ve always wondered what those times must have been like in reality – the truth behind the myth. On the other hand, I was just as fascinated by the fantasy part of it – a world where gods really do walk the earth. In my story, I’ve created a world that’s as authentic as possible, but still holds onto all the fantasy. So it’s a bit of historical fiction mixed with fantasy, and with a whole lot of naughtiness sprinkled in. I mean, the myths do leave all the “fun” details out, so I made sure to put them all back in, just as they were meant to be 😉

There are lots of funky happenings going on here, and it’s part of Evernight’s exclusive multiple-author series “Naughty Fairytales”. Andromeda is a curvaceous princess, and Perseus is the son of Zeus. Which, of course, explains his god-like body! I’m also pleased to share that this story was an “Editor’s Pick”.

Blurb:

Andromeda’s world comes crashing down when the Gods proclaim that she is to be chained to a rock and offered as a sacrifice to the sea monster that has been ravaging her lands. Terrified, she has no choice but to obey, though the tentacled creature is her worst nightmare come to life, and he has ominous plans for her. Perseus witnesses her plight and comes to her rescue, but liberating Andromeda requires more than just skill with his sword. Will his love be enough to save her not only from the monster, but from her dark past that conspires to never let her go?

Excerpt:

When I was a little girl, a snake bit me on the ankle. My mother told the story of how I barely survived, how I had gone in and out of consciousness, flushed with fever, eyes glazed. When I dreamed, I called out about falling into a pit of vipers.

And now before me, my nightmare came to life. Tentacles surged out of the water, but they far more resembled teeming snakes. Unlike octopus arms, they had no suction cups, and ended in blunt tips. Glistening and sinuous, they blindly explored the harsh rock, covering its entire surface, exploring each crevice, and inevitably coming closer and closer to me.

I dug my heels into the rock behind me and curled my toes in. I turned my head and would have shut my eyes, but I couldn’t force myself to stop staring at the monstrosity. Tugging at the shackles did no good and only made the panic surge to a higher pitch until I felt like a wild animal about to become prey.

Only a foot from my toes now, the snake appendages roamed over the rock, some thick and large, like a man’s thigh, and some thin like my little finger. One, about the thickness of my arm, separated itself from the others and moved higher up the rock, coming toward me. I gasped and pulled away from it as far as the chains would allow.

It slithered audibly over the rocky surface and nudged at my toes. I did shut my eyes then, and turned my head into my arm.

It slipped over my foot and wrapped itself about my ankle. I raised my leg and tried to shake it off, but it only coiled tighter about me, digging into my flesh as though to warn me. It wrapped more and more around my lower leg and then began to slowly travel upward, twisting over and over, over my knee and then over my thigh.

I clamped my legs together to halt its progress, but it was far stronger. It wormed its way between my limbs and under my skirt. Slowly it came ever closer to the apex of my thighs, and when it finally reached it, and brushed against my sex, I jumped. The strong muscle rubbed against my clit as it continued to flow upward, along my torso, slowly winding its way. The friction of it rubbing at me terrified and excited me at once. My eyes still closed, I only felt it when other snake limbs joined this one. Another one twined around my other leg, and still others wrapped themselves about my arms.

“My bride,” a rough voice whispered, loud as a thunderclap and yet so quiet I was sure I only heard it in my mind. It carried the same implacable weight of power as the words of the Oracle.

My eyes flew open, and I came face to face with Cetus.

About Ela Stein:

Reading was my entertainment and salvation as a child, and it transferred into a passion for writing. I am still very much a reader, and love many different genres, from erotic romance, to fantasy (dark, dark fantasy!), to historical fiction, and that love is reflected in my own writing as well (I don’t do contemporary very often). If you’d like to learn more about me, or chat about books and life, you can find me all over the web:

WeWriWa and SatSpanks – Please Keep Going

Posted on September 20, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my story Unravel Me in the Evernight Publishing anthology, Executive Assistant.

LAST WEEK: Colin got Mary exactly where he wanted her. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped her apology to get to his resulting action. You’re welcome. 😉 Enjoy.

“Make sure you do.” He stood over her and rested the paddle on top of her mound. “You’re a beautiful tasty woman, Ms. Mary. It’s your lucky day because I think I’m just as anxious to see you fly apart as you are.” He lifted the paddle an inch and smacked her clit.

Sensations blossomed out from her core. She sucked in a breath and he hit it again. The whole time he held her gaze captive, his fingers danced around her pussy.

I wish I could share the next part. So yummy. 🙂 Until next time. More details about this anthology with my story are below.

Unravel Me BLURB:

Mary is determined not to be distracted by the devilishly handsome Colin whose business deal is halting a much needed park. Armed with a plan, she tries to ignore her growing attraction.

Be Warned: spanking, paddles, BDSM

ISBN: 978-1-77130-892-2

Mid Week Tease – Letting Him Go

Posted on September 17, 2014 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the fabulous Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

Today, I’m sharing from my next book to release:

In the Blind

Last Week: Our heroine fell on her ass and discovered her hero was wearing a wedding ring. Ouch! This Week: I’ve skipped some sweet interactions with these two. I’m so naughty. 😉 Instead, I’m giving you another clue about that ring.

____________

He followed her back to her table. She took his card and promised to call if she came across a position for him. As he walked away, she grabbed hold of her table. He belonged to someone else. All he could be was a friend, a fantasy at best.

He’d gotten half way across the room before he turned and came back. A flutter of impossibility filled her belly. He stopped his forward movement once, but then continued until he was a foot from her table.

“I’d really like to see you again, but—”

“You’re married.”

“What?”

“It’s okay. I saw the ring earlier.” She shoved her hands into her pockets.

“Oh, that.” He played with the ring. “My divorce has been final for a few weeks, but I can’t seem to take it off.”

“I’m sorry.” She reached out to him, but pulled back. “I have no idea how hard that must be.”

“Is it strange the divorce should feel more natural than the marriage?”

“Big changes, no matter how natural, take time to cope.”

“Wise words.” An easy smile lifted the strain from his face. “Did you get that one from your grandpa?”

“I did.” She nodded her head.

“I may not be ready to change my work situation, but call me, if you find something. Maybe I’ll be ready when you call.”

“I’ll do that.”

“Thank you, Jane.” He reached out his hand. “It was really nice to meet you.”

She took hold of his hand, squeezed hard, and let him go.

The memories from that day replayed regularly in her mind. Once she started her string of first dates, they were all compared to Rob. Not a one made her smile as easy or left her needing more like he did.

____________

There you have it. Combine that with the clue in the blurb and you’ll see our hero is being honest here, poor guy. It’s time for him to move forward. If it were only that easy.
