Your Mental Miles Away, Long Distance Some Might Say

As we speak, my hubby is 120 miles away, to begin training for his brand new job. It's been a rough couple of years for us, but somehow, we survived his lay-off and extended unemployment and come out on the other side. Now, he seems to have found a good job, one that will allow us to have health insurance again, provides vacation time and pays well. But, the trouble is, for the next 8 weeks, he's spending Monday through Friday away.

I know in most ways, I'm extremely lucky to have someone so great in my life at all. But, I've grown spoiled over the last months, spending so much time with my man. As foreign as it might sound to some, we really do love spending time together. While I'm very happy for him, I will miss having his face around.

I'm taking comfort in the fact that my new novella, All Expenses Paid, was released yesterday and the fact that I will see my husband in a few short days. Until he returns, I'm stuck ogling some Man Candy, pining away.

She'll Grind it Out With Friends But Not With Me

I meant to post this yesterday, but I got caught up. So I thought I'd put it up today. There was a wonderful review of the fabulous collection, Gritty: Rough Erotic Fiction done by Manic Readers, which you can read in its entirety right here. If you like what you see, you can buy the collection right here. Which I suggest you do, immediately, if you haven't done so already.

Also, the release date for my novella, All Expenses Paid, is rapidly approaching and I'm thinking of fun ways to drum up some business. Expect an announcement tomorrow, if all goes well. Hopefully, I'll have thought of something brilliant by then.

And Ten Days On The Road Are Barely Gone

I'm back!! After a week away from the homebase, it is nice to be back at home, in my comfort zone. It was nice to spend time with the family, and celebrate my niece's fourth birthday with water guns, popcorn and Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty's beloved) cupcakes. He was super-tasty!! My 35th is coming up and I wish I could have a party like that. Maybe I should. . .

There is less than a week to go until All Expenses Paid comes out!! I am just so excited. Right now, I'm cooking up some fun things to coincide with the release date, so stay tuned for more information!!

Isn't the Man Candy lovely? Ahhh, it's truly good to be back.

Let Me Put on My Sunglasses Here So I Can See What I'm Doing

Good weekend. Spent some time celebrating my 15 year old nephew's confirmation. Then, it was on to my Great Aunt's 90th birthday party. She had a picture of herself riding a bike last year, at the tender age of 89. I can only hope to be half as vibrant as she is when (god willing) I'm her age, or close to it.

I'm away from home this week, spending the next few days at the Mothership. It's going to be tough to find time to work, but I'm hoping I can manage some words. But, there are boxes to be packed and schlepped to help my sister move, my niece's 4th birthday party and who knows what else on the horizon this week.

You may have noticed that the countdown to All Expenses Paid is continuing to tick tick tick. Less than two weeks away now!! So excited!!

Man Candy, I need you now, more than ever, I need you!

I really can't wait for this one to come out and as soon as I have all the purchase details, I'll let you know. It will be available from Amber Allure and various other outlets as well.

In the meantime, enjoy the Man Candy while I go back to work on my next novella, which is shaping up nicely after a busy Sunday of writing. I feel like I'm finally on track, after a few stops and starts. Here's hoping it all works out.

I'll Take Afternoon Tea, If You Take It With Me

As promised yesterday, today I am offering you a little slice of my story, Dressed to Impress, from the Afternoon Pleasures collection, edited by Shane Allison.

Please to enjoy, again.

As we sat in the darkness of the movie theatre, I couldn’t focus on the film. Every time he crossed his legs or moved in his seat, I found myself thinking about his naked dick brushing against the front of his pants, the contact his skin was making on the soft, just-washed material. It got so bad that I was blatantly staring at his crotch when a giant explosion made the entire crowd jump out of their chairs. I stayed stock still, too distracted to respond properly to an entire fictional town being demolished.

“Ben, what the hell are you doing? You’re missing the best part.”

His whispers startled me out of me trance, and I looked at his eyes in the dark. He turned back to the screen, just in time for more carnage to wow the audience. Instead of rejoining the story already in progress, I reached my hand out and put it right on his cock. Colin snapped his head over to look at me, his expression both confused and angry.

“What are you doing? Just watch the movie.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Well, I do.”

I didn’t move my hand; in fact, I tugged at the obstinate zipper and worked my hand inside until I could feel the hot contact of his skin. Hidden as we were in the back row, I didn’t worry about anyone seeing us, but I wasn’t expecting him to grab my wrist in protest. He stopped short of pulling my hand away, but his grip wasn’t allowing me to go any further. My fingers strained to find the sensitive head of his cock, and as I ran the pad of my thumb over the slit, he released my wrist from captivity.

His eyes stayed focused straight ahead, as I wrapped my fist around his now stiff prick. I watched his mouth fall open, just a little. At that moment, he could have yelled and no one in the theatre would have heard him, the gunfire was far too loud. I jerked him gently at first, but couldn’t contain my ardor as I felt him grow harder in response.

Colin surprised me by snaking his own hand under my shirt and tweaked my nipple, sending a warm jolt to my rock hard cock. He smiled, knowing that my current aroused state wasn’t just from his hard-on.

“So, I guess it turns out you were into the whole no underwear thing.”

I couldn’t answer as his thick middle finger met his thumb and pinched me hard, my nipple now as hard as my dick. The pain and pleasure was making my breath catch; the car chase on screen doing a fantastic job of distracting the people around us from my moans. My fist squeezed him tight, my hand moving quicker as I felt my arousal barreling towards me as quickly as the runaway truck in the film.

As suddenly as the crash scene disappeared, so did Colin’s hand from my chest. My own hand disengaged as he sat up and zipped up in a hurry. Grabbing me by the arm, he led me into the deserted men’s room in the lobby. Once we were locked into the last stall, he looked down at me with a wicked smile.

When The Scent of Her Lingers, And Temptation's Strong

Both Afternoon Pleasures and Sweet Confessions are now available for purchase and I think you should follow the links and purchase one or both of them. Why? Because, they are killer, hot, sexy books and part of my life's mission is to get those kinds of books into as many hands as possible. In order to entice you, today and tomorrow, I'm going to be posting excerpts from my stories in both books to give everyone a little taste of what's inside. Aren't I sweet?

Got the first round of edits done on my novella, All Expenses Paid, today. It's possible I might love it even more now than I did before. Cannot. Wait. For. It. To. Come. Out. Stay tuned for more details, excerpts and info.

So, as promised, here is a little taste of my story, Smell As Sweet, from Sweet Confessions, edited by the fabulous Violet Blue. Please to enjoy.

That night, the offices were quiet, but the stack of papers in front of me didn’t seem to be getting any smaller. I kept glancing at the clock, the time moving quickly, but the work was going at a snail’s pace. It was already way too late to meet the girls for the dinner we had planned. And, they would soon be off bar hopping and making merry. All I had to show for my evening was paperwork, useless forms and reports and a deadline that loomed for first thing Monday morning.

As I slogged through, there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel. I closed the last file folder, and let out a sigh of relief. The joy was short lived when I looked at the clock and realized it was near midnight. I thought if I hurried, I could meet the girls at the last bar of the night and have a quick martini to reward my hard work.

Grabbing a stack of folders for Jamie’s office, I whipped out my phone and started texting Charlotte to find out where the action was. Too busy clicking letters with my thumbs, I nearly walked into Jamie’s office door, which was open, just a crack. I saw a dim light on and I heard weird noises coming from inside. Getting even closer for a better look, I saw Jamie in his chair, his cock in his hand. I froze, my fingers stopping mid-text as I opened my eyes wider at what I saw next.

There was a pair of black panties over his nose and mouth, the crotch pressed right against his skin. His dark hair was covering his forehead; his eyes that had been wide open were now pinched shut. He inhaled deeply and loudly, twice, before he came, white come spilling onto his fist and onto the floor. I hurried away before he could see me, taking the elevator down with my heart still pounding.

I got into my car and raced to the pub, and I couldn’t shake the image of Jamie with the panties on his face. He seemed in seventh heaven when I saw him, sniffing the lace-covered crotch. Shaking my head, I crinkled my face in disgust. Fetishes rarely surprised me, but this was one predilection I'd never heard of. At first, I was dying to let the girls know what I had found as I downed my perfectly chilled vodka concoction, but I thought better of it. I just wanted to forget the whole thing and enjoy my weekend.

The problem was, I couldn’t forget it. No matter what I did, the visual of Jamie kept coming back. I went over every detail in my mind, from the sound of his cries to the thickness of his cock. I struggled to understand what it was about the panties that he liked so much. I had always assumed that most men weren’t all that fond of the way a woman smelled. Lord knows there were enough feminine hygiene products on the market to tell us so.

But, he seemed so lost in it all, so enthralled by what he was doing. I thought all men just jerked off to porn or at the very least a picture of someone naked. The pure pleasure he got from those simple, little panties seemed to trump any naked woman in his mind. Could smell really be that powerful, that erotic? I had honestly never thought about it before. Now, I couldn’t stop.
