Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing one more snippet from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared several heated moments. LAST WEEK: The work day is over and they’ve made their way to Lydia’s place for, well, it was supposed to be dinner. Fears and instincts were pushed aside along with confining things like clothes. 😉 THIS WEEK: I only skipped a couple sentences.

He still stood several steps back. The need to run to her clawed at him. Normally he was a pretty patient person, but at this moment he wanted to scream with need. He forced his legs to take slow strides. The effort aided him in reining in his longing. He took one last step forward and pressed his body along hers.

“Lydia,” he growled. “How are you feeling?”

I’m guessing Lydia’s ready for whatever Jake has planned. <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. This might be my last WeWriWa post for TAKING CHANCES. So if you want to find out what happens next, find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

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.

Weekend Writing Warriors – Confining Things

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared a few heated moments. LAST WEEKFears and instincts were pushed aside. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped a whole bunch. Such good stuff I’ve skipped. Sorry about that, but I’ve gotten them out of work and they’ve made their way to Lydia’s apartment. They both have one thing on their mind. Let’s see if you can figure out what that is. This snippet is in Jake’s POV.

She reached behind to grab hold of the bra clasp and released its hold. The sight of her arms pulled behind her back took him by surprise. He knew it was coming, but was fully unprepared for the reality. Her thriving body would be exquisite in restraints. He wondered if she had ever had the pleasure.

The groan that escaped his lips was part in yearning for her and part in horror at the thought of another touching what he wanted as his. He locked away thoughts that pulled him from what was right in front of him.

He busied his hands with the buttons on his shirt and tossed the confining thing.

Lydia and Jake are both getting ready for … <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. Come back next week and find out more OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared a few heated moments. LAST WEEKFears and instincts were messing with Jake’s hands off plan. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped a bit again. Jake’s decided to push Lydia a little and see how she reacts. Jake cornered her with a question and Lydia has acquiesced, but let’s see what else happens.

She searched his expression. It seemed to be saying more. She bit her lower lip and held her breath in an attempt to hold onto the shared moment. “Is there anything else, Jake?”

And there it was again, his eyes darkening into deep erotic pools of promise. She wanted to watch him for the rest of eternity. Heat rolled off his body, seeped into her, and pulled her closer. His hand, still under her chin, snaked around to cup her nape locking her in place.

Lydia’s ready and waiting <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. Come back next week and find out more OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

Weekend Writing Warriors – Fears and Instincts

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared a few heated moments. LAST WEEK: Lydia teased Jake and poked him in the chest with her finger. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped a bit again. At this point, Jake fears he’s scared Lydia. She’s left the room for a few minutes. Let’s see how this affects him.

Her face said it all. She’d shut him out.

The Dom in him ached to get out and not simply because he found her attractive. Something in her demeanor pulled on him and commanded him to push her limits. His hand smacked the table as frustration swept through his body. It was hard to ignore his instincts. Even now he wanted to go to her and help. God help him, he wanted to touch her again.

Fears and instincts are at play, but he can’t deny he wants her. <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. Come back next week and find out more OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

Flash Fiction #51 – The Exploration

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

November 1, 2013

Clara pulled herself to standing and followed Samuel into the water closet. Before they found out when they were, they’d be given a few minutes to get used to their new forms. Steam billowed between their bodies and tickled her senses.

She stopped in the middle of the water room and watched Samuel. Water rolled over his strength and a new kind of heat rippled through her. She fell to his feet and felt her way up his leg.

“Clara, what are you doing?”

“I’m not sure, but I don’t want to stop.” She gripped his hips.

He growled. “More.”

Daily Picspiration – A Beautiful Day

I’m back at Daily Picspiration today with a brand new flash. See the words here or there, but the picture that inspired these words can be seen there at this link.

_________________

Charlie pushed past the swings. He was done waiting for Susan. He couldn’t believe he’d agreed to her request and come to this forsaken place. The kids ran around with not a care in the world. Their giggles grated across his nerves like sandpaper. The cloudless sky pissed him off too.

This day was an exact replica of the day Susan broke his heart and refused his proposal. 

“I’m not ready.”

Those three words were on a constant repeat today. He couldn’t get them out of his head. It didn’t matter that he still loved her or that she might have been right. He could find nothing redeeming in being here again.

His phone rang with a new text. “Look up.”

Amongst all the blue, he spotted a plane with a sign dragging out the back.

He was wrong. This day could be fixed by letting go of just one word. The three words repeating in his mind were now replaced with a new message and it made a drastic change to the path of their future.

It was a beautiful day.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared a few heated moments. LAST WEEK: Lydia reeled from her bold move. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped a little bit again. Lydia teased Jake and poked him in the chest with her finger.

Her smile disappeared when he took hold of her finger. It must have been contagious, because his face lit up. She tried to yank her finger from his grasp, but it seemed to only encourage him to increase his hold.

“Hey, you let go.” She laughed and continued struggling to regain control over her finger. His amused expression made her giggle, but in the next second it was gone and his stern business face returned.

“Okay, sorry, but don’t poke me. Next time, I might not be willing to let go.”

<~ You can <tweet that> last line if you want. I really hope he keeps that promise. Come back next week and find out more OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

Weekend Writing Warriors – Familiar Ugliness

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. They’ve shared a few heated moments. LAST WEEK: Lydia reeled from her bold move. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped just a little bit. Jake has gotten back to work. Let’s see how Lydia’s doing.

The moment dissipated like it had never been. His hand no longer reached for her. His look no longer promised unmentionable things. He ducked his chin to concentrate on something on the table. Then he was back into work like nothing happened. Disappointment dug in and left her feeling unwanted. She brushed her hair behind her shoulders and attempted to shake the familiar ugliness.

She followed his example, though, and dragged her attention back to simpler things, like lunch.

The moment dissipated, but it’s definitely not forgotten <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. So, do you think they’re back to all work and no more heat? Come back next week and find out OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂

Flash Fiction #50 Dear Dan

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

October 18, 2013

Another sappy love song blared through Rachel’s studio speakers and she still had no idea what to write. For weeks, she’d tried to make a move, to let Dan know she was interested. Her forever friend, the one that was always there, was the one that made her heart pitter-pat, not the jerks she’d been dating.

It was Dan, the gentleman. He’d never hit on her, not unless she made the first move.

With her blood pounding in frustration, she kicked her lighting boom and inspiration struck.

After several clicks, she held her breath, hit send, and began her wait.

Weekend Writing Warriors – Endless Possibilities

Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my debut, TAKING CHANCES.

Taking Chances is the first in a series of books I’m calling The Love Projects. Taking Chances is the story of Lydia and Jake. The blurb and cover are below. In Previous Weeks: Jake and Lydia entered the room where they’ll be working together. Jake’s already had to take a cold shower break. LAST WEEK: Jake’s finger removed a smudge of barbecue sauce from Lydia’s mouth and Lydia shocked them both by licking his finger clean. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped nothing.

“I’m sorry, I just…” She stopped talking and turned her gaze to the table. “Thank you,” she said without looking at him. “I hate it when someone sees a way to help and they ignore it instead.”

Her mind reeled at the possible implications of his touch or her bold reaction. Maybe smudges of food bothered him. Maybe he was being considerate. The possibilities sounded right, but his eyes didn’t have the look of a gentleman.

<~ You can <tweet that> last line if you want. There are endless possibilities, but reality is staring her right in the face. Jake wants her. I know she can see it now, but does she believe it? Come back next week and find out what she does next OR find those buy links below and find out today. 🙂
