Thunder and Lightning ~ #SexySnippets

Rain on Me is available now!

 For those counting along at home, this is the final cover. I sure had fun making the other forty-some. :D

(blurb) 

If every heart’s a package someone else has tied in knots, how did bondage unravel mine?

I’d sleep with the devil to nail the source of illegal poker machines pouring into my district. It’s personal between me and those one-armed bandits, but when my captain asked me to go undercover as a sexual submissive to catch our suspect, my gut said “Hell, no, even I can’t tell a lie that big.”

Enter Ray Casey, shibari master, who spent two weeks showing me the world of erotic bondage. I fell hard for Ray, but the outcome of our affair was preordained; duty above all.

When the unthinkable happened, where could I turn when I couldn’t trust my brothers in blue? My instincts led me back to Ray, but he wants me to submit to something harder than a little BDS&M….

Now for my seven sentences: 
His growl blended with the thunder when he leaned down, wrapped his hands around the back of my thighs and hoisted me; I locked my knees to his side, grabbing his shirt with my fists.

He slammed me against the car, canting my hips so the head of his cock breached my swollen entrance. Lightning streaked across the sky when he slid into me. Though my eyes were closed, the ghostly print of the bolt staggered across the inside of my skull. The sweet friction of penetration was sharpened by those damnable, blissful cords. They pressed my flesh tightly to his, making his invasion into a full-out assault.

And then he matched his rhythm to the rain.

Path of Least Resistance ~ #SexySnippets

This week, my seven sentences come from Rain On Me, Book #1 of my new interracial erotic bondage series, Give Me Shelter, scheduled for release at the end of January.

The look on her face when I pulled her against me and extended our linked hands almost made me laugh. “I’m leading. This is not the time to do your own thing,” I warned.

I’m barely adequate on a dance floor, but the simple box step suited my purpose. I wanted to feel Zin’s head on my shoulder, and enjoy feeling the rain slip between our bodies, moving aside whenever it encountered a place where her flesh was pressed to mine. The sensation made me want to believe we could move other things aside, and for the same reason, because we were pressed together so tightly, going around us was the path of least resistance.

Thunder and Lightning ~ #SexySnippets

Back to Rain On Me for this week's snippet. I tossed what I'd written on this story and started the tale over with a new premise for Nano. That means...ta da! A new cover. The story is the first of a three-novella series, all featuring a bit of bondage and the same bad guy. 

My first orgasm was small, but the next was stronger and the one after that, stronger still. I cried out, begging him to stop--to fuck me--but all I got was the leisurely stroke of his tongue and the summer lightening summoned by that soft touch, when what I craved was thunder. His fingers gripped my hips and there was nothing I could do but take the sensations he forced into me. It was a subtle domination that hit me with the impact of a sledgehammer. I couldn't stop coming. Even when I wanted to withhold the orgasms, my body didn't listen to my mind. With my breasts thrust out, my thighs wet and wide, and him in total control of the most intimate part of me, I felt all the power shift to him, and the realization sent a shudder through me.

Jealous of the Rain ~ #SexySnippets

Seven more from Rain on Me. 

Yes. Yes, I did change the cover again. Thanks for noticing. :D

(Ray is speaking)

“Your mama sure does have a knack for raisin’ pretty things. And that boyfriend who's sendin’ you postcards from all over the world sure must be jealous of this rain.” Ray knew damn well he had no fucking business trying to find out if she was seeing anyone.
“Why would you say that?”
He lifted a finger to her shoulder, but didn’t touch her. Catching one of the droplets sliding down her bare arm with his fingernail, he stared into her eyes. “Rain’s bound to make your man feel bad, ‘cause this drop of water’s doing what he wants to be doing, sliding over your bare skin.”

Feel the Rain ~ #SexySnippets

Where did summer go? Between  the demise of my laptop screen (Arrgh! Head bang...damn technology, can't live with it, but let it break down and you'll find out quick enough just how many ways you can't live without it) and the impending birth of my granddaughter, I haven't been posting, but Incidental Contact is still on track to be released in September, though later than I wished. And Rain on Me, my interracial rope bondage kinky love story is coming along. My seven today are from Rain on Me. Zinnie and Ray are still where we last left them, in the old bed and breakfast on Battery Row in Charleston.

(Unedited excerpt, Ray is speaking)

"Bob Dylan said some people feel the rain, while others just get wet. I think you feel the rain, Zinnie. That's what drew me to you. Ever since, I've wondered whether you'd  feel the rope that same way." His gaze was hooded, but the weight of his words made me think I could feel his stare. "Rope can be just a method to tie you up to have kinky sex. I never know, when I bind someone new, if I'll summon a shower or a unleash a storm."

I should, my laptop is due back Thursday, with a brand new screen, a new keyboard--yes, it is possible to wear one out--and more than double the memory. Plus, any day now, I'll be a grandmother again. Second time this summer. There's no technology to help wrap my head around that. :)

#SexySnippets ~ In Knots

Seven more from Rain on Me.

Zinnie's on the verge of getting her wish--to be tied up and at Ray's command. 

Tweaked the cover again. I think I'm done now...but I've said that before.  :p

The lamps blinked, steadied, and went out again, plunging the room into twilight. She was unable to see his face now, but his fingers were visible, silhouetted against the pristine cord. Every knot he undid seemed to reform inside her tummy. When he gripped the stretcher and pulled the wooden bar free, the hissing sound the cord made, whipping through the holes, sent her heart into her throat. She couldn't seem to take a deep breath. Winding a length of rope around his fist, he finally spoke, “Did you know I spent eight years in the Navy?” His teeth were a bright gleam in the semi-darkness, and though she couldn't see his eyes, she felt his stare. "If I tie you up, Zinnie, I may never let you go."

Seven more from Rain on Me. Poor Ray. He can't get Zinnie out of his head. What's a man to do? Oh, yeah... fantasize.  

Yes, I tweaked the cover. My kid said the girl looked 'random', like she didn't fit with the background... :and she's most always right. 

In his mind, he sketched her here on the deserted campus, surrounded by magnolia trees, standing beneath her ruffled umbrella. Ray imagined  her nude. He’d soften his command with a smile, in hopes she’d favor him with one of hers. “Hold the umbrella up as far as you can. Don’t lower it.” He thought about the flash he’d seen in her eyes when she mentioned his belt. Sliding his thumb across the strap, he blended the detail into his dream, thinking about how the pose would bare her to his every touch, “If you let me get wet, you’ll be in trouble.”

#SexySnippets ~ Rain On Me Cover Reveal

Another seven from one of my works-in-progress, Rain On Me, accompanied by the cover reveal.

Zinnie runs into Ray unexpectedly in Charleston, just as he's bought a Pawley's Island hammock, a very popular item here in South Carolina. She immediately thinks of an alternate use for his purchase, but will her mailman deliver? Sightseeing is out, since a tropical storm off the Atlantic Ocean is bearing down on the historic harbor town. 

(For those unfamiliar with this style hammock, here's a link to their website.) Yep, take one apart and poof! Instant bondage kit. Now, what did you buy your man for Father's Day?

Gusting winds from the harbor lashed the old carriage house, battering the dim second-floor room, driving  heavy droplets through the sinuous limbs of the angel oak and across the deep porch to splatter against the floor-to-ceiling windows. The pounding rhythm matched  Ray’s hammering heart when he realized why Zinnie insisted he bring his purchase inside the inn. Sliding his fingers along the thick cotton rope, he tested the cord’s softness, but stared at the stretch of bare skin between her jeans and the mind-blowing corset. Forcing his gaze away, he studied the wooden stretcher bars at either end of the hammock, easily picturing the wood lashed to her ankles, spreading her to his whims. He seemed to feel the storm in his groin, an insistent pounding that made him slide his hand into his pocket for his Case knife.

When he opened the blade and looked up again, he found her dark eyes locked on his face. The red gloss she always wore seemed to gather the meager light, accentuating the full lips he longed to see wrapped around his cock. Zinnie lowered the zipper on her jeans tooth-by-tooth. Each notch the fastener descended dragged him one step deeper into her fantasy.

Taut Silk and Cherry Lip Gloss ~ #SexySnippets

 If you came in search of the Magic Touch Giveaway Blog Hop, click here. I'm still giving away copies of Breaking Glass until April 30th.    

    According to the rules, I can't tease you with snippets from Forceful Negotiations, since it's been published, and I'll bet I don't have seven sentences of the next Carmine Club story, Kink and Ink, written--none I'd put up anyway-- so here's seven from a new interracial story, tentatively titled Rain On Me. 

      She shook the water off the postcard and squinted at the melting words while Ray tried to drag his gaze away from her lips. Behind her head, stiff tines stretched the crimson silk taut. Rain battered the thin membrane, driving nature's rhythm into his blood.

     He found himself watching her eyelids move from side to side. He wanted to run his finger across the tight curls formed by her lashes. She didn't have on any makeup, only the lip gloss. Damn, why was he imagining this young woman wearing nothing but that slick coat of color?
