I’m back! I’ve so missed being a part of the WeWriWa ritual and I’m excited to be back. I did use my time wisely though and am happy to report I have TWO books coming soon.

Today, I’m sharing from the 2nd in my Love Projects series which is releasing very soon. Here’s the basics: When Janna’s new life threatens to break apart, she must decide if it’s best to run home or to stay and battle for the career and man she doesn’t want to live without.

Janna’s story starts as she enters a BDSM club as a guest. She’s trying to pay attention to the security guard reviewing her paperwork when a man enters the club. Once he’s identified as a club Master, Janna’s brain turns mushy. 😉 In this 8 you’ll see why. Enjoy!

The man stopped next to her, and her ability to play cool faltered. A Master. She took a deep breath and drank him in, starting with his dark boots of luscious black leather. Her gaze took the scenic route along his legs, drank in his firm body, to his broad chest encased in a casual black shirt.

“Can I see your ID?”

She continued her perusal of the Master and found the hard angle of his jaw and stopped at his striking green eyes, which were set directly on her. She couldn’t move. With his look alone, he commanded her attention.

Something tells me Janna has no idea she’s be asked a question. Lol. So, do you think she gets into the club?

Mid Week Tease – Safety First

>>Click here for the Wicked Nights Giveaway Hop<<

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

This week, I’m sharing more from my flash fiction series, the love story of Roxanne and Jonathon.

Last Week: I shared a happy in love moment. Today’s tease occurs a few weeks later. It’s the first sign that everything is not as it seems.

Safety First

“Jonathon, look. He has little pictures back here.” Roxanne dragged her gaze over each little beauty. Strong arms wrapped around her and Jonathon snuggled close. His public displays of affection were just one of the many reasons she loved about him.

Love.

She swayed as warmth spread through her limbs. In such a short time, Jonathon had become a life necessity. She could no longer imagine life without him.

“Is it odd that the photographer has captured so many of the places we’ve been?”

Jonathon stilled.

“What is it, honey?”

“It is strange and I’m not sure what to make of it.” He looked towards the back of the shop. The door opened to a little room, but no door, just a barred window.

“You’re starting to scare me. What’s going on?” She pulled at his arms and finally grabbed hold of his chin. “Jonathon?”

“I think we should leave as quietly as we came in. No eye contact with the clerk, okay?”

“Fine, but then you need to tell me what’s going on.”

He leaned in and gave her a sweet chasted kiss. “Fine, but I want you safe first.”

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 ReviewStory 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).

Mid Week Tease – Lucky in Love

MidWeekTeaseWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the amazing Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

This week, I’m sharing more from my flash fiction series, the love story of Roxanne and Jonathon.

Lucky in Love

It had only been two weeks since Roxanne met Jonathon, but she was smitten. She turned to find him drawing in the snow. A couple of kids ran by him and trashed his work of art. The chuckle that bellowed out of him settled inside her heart like the comfort of warm apple pie. She loved that he was able to appreciate everyone’s joy and not just his own.

When he looked up, he seemed to be searching the park. She waved her arm over her head. Relief appeared to wash over him when he found her.

“How did I get so lucky?” She blew him a kiss and walked towards him.

One of his eyebrows raised and his smile turned devilish. Then she noticed the ball of snow forming in his hands.

“Oh no. Jonathon, not again.” She took off across the park. He was lucky she already loved him.

Flash Fiction #59 Loves Late Arrival

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

May 9, 2014

Cora looked around her crowded ballroom filled with her closet friends. Everyone had come, except the one man she wanted.

“Michael’s not coming. I thought you knew.”

“I know now.” Cora flicked her finger nails against the beads on her dress. “Excuse me; I need to check with the chief.”

She escaped the overcrowded room and sucked in a breath as her stomach tied itself in knots. Why now? After all the years of friendship and teasing, why now could she feel all that he meant to her?

She leaned into her beloved statue and prayed it wasn’t too late.

Mid Week Tease – The Day He Met Her

MidWeekTeaseWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the fabulous Sandra Bunino for giving me something to look forward to.

This week, I’m sharing something different. Since last August, I’ve been writing a series of flash fiction pieces about the love story of Roxanne and Jonathon.

I haven’t been writing them in order and I have a lot more of their story to share. Their tale is set in motion by a group called the fates and Roxanne and Jonathon are simply pawns in their game. Today’s tease reveals a little about Jonathon’s situation when he travels through time and falls at Roxanne’s feet.

A Cold Cute Meet

Jonathon wandered the streets. Up and down, he weaved a senseless pattern. He stopped at the top of the hill, turned around, and watched the movement below until it disappeared into the fog.

This time and place was just as monotonous as the last. There was nothing here to capture his interest, no sign of what he was truly looking for. The cars may look faster and the architecture was definitely getting more interesting, but it didn’t deter him.

The fates claimed he’d find her soon. They were determined to prove love wasn’t real, that it couldn’t last. His kind were just a piece in their little game.

Since that day they’d given him a glimpse of her, he couldn’t get her out of his thoughts. He wondered first what her voice would sound like and then he began to think about how soft her hair would be. Then, he worried she wouldn’t like him. Of course, if he believed the fates, it wouldn’t matter because he wouldn’t love her anyway.

A piercing light split through his mind. Moments later, a chill traveled through him and snow kissed his cheeks. He turned in a circle, caring nothing for when and where, only hoping he’d find her in this place, but there was nothing.  He continued to look, there had to be something in this freezing city.

Movement caught his attention and he turned back around. He lost his footing and slipped on the cold pavement, landing right on his ass.

“Are you okay?”

He looked up into the beautiful blue eyes that had been enchanting his dreams.

Mid Week Tease – Over the Edge

bookboyfriend-2014 x50Click the pic for the
Evernight Publishing
Book Boyfriend Blog Hop!
MidWeekTeaseWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the amazing Sandra Bunino for giving me something to look forward to.

I’m taking a step back in time and sharing from my debut release, Taking Chances. The hero, Jake Reed is currently up for your consideration in Evernight’s Book Boyfriend blog hop.

I’m sharing a snippet from Jake’s point of view near the beginning of their story. Lydia has him all worked up and after some ribbing from his buddies, he’s taking matters into his own hands. 😉 Enjoy.

____________

Jake mumbled all the way to the shower about why he put up with his buddies. Once he got undressed and in the shower his mind wandered to the woman waiting for him downstairs. The cold water pounding his back didn’t help his now throbbing cock. He stroked himself a few times and knew instantly he would need to finish himself off if he hoped to calm his nerves.

Turning the water to scalding he tugged on his cock in quick strokes. His fingers slipped over the slick head and back to the base. He imagined Lydia on her back before him, waiting patiently for his command. His cock thickened in his hand. She would stare into his eyes with intensity similar to what he’d seen today. A tug on his sack threw him right over the edge. He continued to stroke himself and wondered what her moans would sound like. Would they be throaty and low or high and squealing?

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 takingchances1mlove 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.

Book Boyfriend Blog Hop with JAKE REED from TAKING CHANCES

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 ReviewStory 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.”

Mid Week Tease – His Private Dungeon

MidWeekTeaseWelcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the awesome Sandra Bunino for giving me something to look forward to. I’m sharing once more from my story about Colin and Mary and I’m happy to report you’ll be able to read this story in a new Evernight anthology that releases in June! 😀

This pair has some ill-conceived notions about the other, but that’s all going to change. Last week, Mary started to break down the wall that Colin had erected. This week, I’m going to back up just a little so you can see what was going through Colin’s head as he waited for Mary to arrive for her interview.

____________

He pushed back from his desk and walked into the bathroom attached to his office. With a press to the side panel, it popped open. He turned the light dial located just inside the door and his private dungeon woke before his eyes. He cracked his knuckles and breathed in the clean earthy hints of leather.

Work had kept him too far from Club Voyage in the past year, not even the installation of this room had kept his kink close enough. He leaned against the spanking bench and gazed over his collection of paddles, crops, and floggers hanging on the wall. Above all else, he needed to keep his emotions under control and he knew denying his need to dominate put him on a quick path to misery.

Not much gave him gratification like a willing submissive waiting for his command, not even the closing of the perfect deal. He craved lifting a woman’s need for release and watching as the pleasure consumed her. He made up his mind right then to work long hours this week and to go to the club on Friday night.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on his breathing.

“Your interview is here.” Jen’s warn out voice called from his office and woke him from his meditation.

Perfect timing for Mary to enter, don’t you think. 😉 I can’t wait to share their full story with you. It’s hot, it’s heartbreaking, and I love it.  Unfortunately, these two are destined to misjudge and unravel each forward movement. They’re not going to make a happy ending easy. I know how it all works out and I have to say it’s quite delicious. 🙂

You can see my inspiration board for this book on Pinterest here.

The In Progress 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 – Changing His Mind

MidWeekTeaseI’m on a roll. Two weeks in a row, I’ve shared a tease. Love it!

I’m sharing again from my story about Colin and Mary. The pair has some ill-conceived notions about the other, but that’s all going to change. Last week, Colin got his first look at Mary. You could say her appearance took him off guard. Let’s see if she can continue to change his mind.

“You must spend a lot of time on your outreach commitments. Is it hard for you to balance work and your personal interests?”

She sat up straighter. “To be honest—”

“That’s all I ask.” He took hold of his pen without breaking his gaze from hers. With his thumb, he stroked the smooth surface back and forth and wondered if her pussy would be just as smooth.

“At times I have.” She crossed her legs and grabbed her knee with both hands. “But, I have learned from experience.”

“Would you expand on that?” He let go of the pen and sat back.

“I learned to only commit to the things I can finish. I’ve also learned not to deny myself the things I’m passionate about. Plus, the kids I work with help me to keep my head straight.”

“I can imagine. Will you continue spending time there?”

“I’ll always be there for the kids.” She uncrossed her legs and leaned on his desk. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure, I’m an open book.”

“You already know if you’re going to hire me, don’t you? You knew before I walked in here.”

“Maybe.” He admired her for getting to the point. It showed she valued her time and his. His opinion of her doubled.

“Is there nothing I can do to change your mind?”

If it were only that easy. These two are destined to misjudge and unravel each forward movement. I know how it all works out and I have to say it’s quite delicious. 🙂
