Excerpt:
Owned by the Marine by Renee Rose
She was looking through his bedside drawer—the one where he kept the kinky shit. Like lube and butt plugs and...yeah. She picked up a hand paddle and spun it around. He ought to be ashamed of himself. Instead, seeing her curiosity sent a fresh surge of lust kicking through him.
“Shouldn’t you be in bed? Getting some rest?”
She jerked and looked up with guilty surprise on her face. “Uh...is this yours?” She spun the paddle around like she admired the feel of it—not like someone who was revolted.
“Yep.” He raised an eyebrow, doing his best to look stern. “Do you need a demonstration?” He toed the door open and folded his arms across his chest.
Her full berry lips parted, tongue darted out to moisten them. Her nipples tented the thin fabric of her shirt. “Yeah.”
Yeah?
He hadn’t expected that answer.
A flush had crept over her cheeks and her eyes looked dilated.
Oh God. He’d been thinking about spanking her ripe little ass since the day he first met her. But no...it was a terrible idea. She had no clue what she’d be getting herself into. He shook his head. “Sorry Dimples. I don’t think you have any idea what you’re saying.”
Her chin kicked up a notch. “Don’t be so sure, Marine.”
Was that a challenge? His cock liked her sass. Too much. He should definitely not be getting spanky with this girl right now. “Nope. You need to get your rest.” He raised his eyebrows and jerked his head toward the bed, doing his best attempt at daddy-dom, which he didn’t even know was in his repertoire.
She held the paddle out to him. Her hand shook. “I need a demonstration.” Her voice cracked.
“Kaitlyn.” He made his voice sympathetic. “The last thing you need is to get mixed up with this sort of thing after what happened to you tonight.”
She swallowed. “I want to forget. I need to feel something different. I mean...I think I might like it. Please?”
He’d like to say it was just out of sympathy that he responded to her pleading, but his cock surged and strained against his pants because the idea of dominating his sweet little neighbor heated his blood.
This was such a bad idea.

He was a warrior and used to destruction and devastation, but this time it threatened to push him over the edge. He’d hope in this sequestered environment to reach down and find his humanity again. The last thing he needed was Dara, a waif who nearly drowned in the turbulent water in her haste to run from a violent situation.

Emily doesn’t know if she’s in more danger from Michael or from terrorists, but she’s about to find out.

Jaxon returns from a mission just in time to celebrate his brother's promotion. Hitting the road, he decides to catch up with an old buddy. A detour at a bar winds up being a night to remember. The next day the curvaceous beauty practically falls into his lap again, and seeing it as an opportunity to get to know her better, he pursues.


Can two warriors from two different branches of services, two different paths of life, really find the one in a wanton moment - and can it last for a lifetime?

#WIPitUP - 6/29/16 - Learning to be Little - Taken from the closet #BDSM #Ageplay


WIP: Work in progress.  WIP it up Wednesday is a hop where writers share portions of the project they're working on with readers.  I really like the idea because it allows me to share something that's still in the creative stage as well as work behind the scenes as a prompt to keep me writing.

The WIP I've chosen to share today is tentatively titled "Learning to be Little: Kelly's Story."  It is a story about Kelly Franklin's first immersion into BDSM with a Daddy Dom. It begins in the present directly after "A Dom's Dilemma" then slips into her past before returning to the present again. It's my first attempt at an age play story, but I hope it will provide a lot more insight into Kelly's character. Though the manuscript is still in edits at this point, I decided to begin sharing snippets of my first draft, beginning with the start of Kelly's nightmare.

The mock cover I used for Camp NaNo
I'm continuing where I left off last time I shared from this book. As an only child born to two only children, a young and precocious Kelly Franklin seeks out her Daddy whenever something frightens her. Unfortunately, her Daddy isn't available to soothe her and two strange men were hurting her mother. Scared, Kelly remains as quiet as a mouse in her parent's closet for the entire night.


Kelly stared at the  lady in blue who extended a hand to her, but didn't move. She didn't know the woman, and Mommy had told her to stay where she was.
"It's all right, sweetie. You're safe now. Just come with me."
"Mommy?" she asked in a tiny voice she didn't recognize as her own.
"Your mommy has been taken to the hospital." The woman crouched down so she was eye-level with Kelly. "What's your name, sweetie?"
"Kelly. Where's Daddy?"
"He's with your mommy, Kelly. You're safe with us now, and Mrs. Simpson will be here shortly to take you to a nice place where you'll be more comfortable. In the meantime, why don't you come out of that closet and walk downstairs with me?"
"Why?"
"Well, you certainly can't be all that comfortable in there, can you?"
"I'm all right. Are the men gone?"
"Did you see them?"
Kelly nodded, then shut her eyes. "I think one of them hurt Mommy."
"Your mommy isn't hurting any more, Kelly. She's with people who will take good care of her from now on."
"Isn't she coming home?"
The woman swallowed, then shook her head. "No, sweetie. She won't be coming home."
Kelly felt a rising panic inside her. Something was very wrong. "What about Daddy? Is he coming home?"
The woman closed her eyes and looked away for a moment, before she turned back. "No. He's going to stay with your mommy, but you don't need to worry about either one of them." The policewoman extended her hand again. "Come with me now, Kelly, and we'll get you something to eat. All right?"
Kelly shook her head. "I'm not hungry." Her eyes burned and she rubbed at them. "I want my Daddy." When the woman moved closer and attempted to wrap her arms around Kelly's waist, she resisted. Not wanting to leave the safe haven of the closet, she screamed and kicked to get loose. She had to stay where she was. Mommy told her to stay put. If she left, her parents wouldn't be able to find her.
The policewoman pressed Kelly's face to her shoulder as she lifted her out of the closet, but Kelly still saw how red her parent's bed was. Dark red. She hated red. It was an ugly color and it smelled wrong. Five or six men stood in the room, but they didn't say anything as Kelly was carried out and down the stairs. She fought to get back to the closet. She'd been safe there. But the woman kept tight hold of her and carried her into their dining room. She spoke to other people gathered in there, but didn't put Kelly down.
"This is Kelly Franklin. She's our only witness to what happened here yesterday, but I'm not sure how much she'll remember."

Take one dominant police officer, add in a slightly spoiled socialite, toss together and savor the tangy result.

MFRW Book Hooks!  If you've visited before, you know I'm making this is a regular Wednesday feature on A Writer's Naughty Thoughts. In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with teasers that will whet your appetite into wanting more.

My post for this Wednesday is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. A spicy spanking romance published by Blushing Books.



In this scene, Kyle takes his recently engaged fiancee, Tiffany, on a secluded picnic where he plans to give the woman he adores everything she'd been attempting to seduce out of him for the past three years.  Her inexperience is a great turn on for him, but it also means he needs to take things far more slowly than his body desires.  Kyle wants her first time to be a pleasurable memory, not a painful one, so he does what he can to make sure she's fully aroused, using his lips and tongue, before he takes her. However, Tiffany is less than sure he'll fit inside her once she gets a glimpse of him unclothed, and she calls her safeword.

Realizing Tiffany is serious, Kyle takes a step back to talk things through with his girl to reassure her, but she insists she doesn't want them to stop. So, he assures her he'll be as gentle as he can, but he fears the act will still hurt her a little. Tiffany is uncertain, but this is something she's wanted for a long while, except she's not exactly sure what to expect, but Kyle doesn't disappoint her and she's ready for another round.


            As the days of their first week together, after announcing their engagement to her parents, melded into each other, Kyle and Tiffany began to plan for their wedding.  However, Kyle also insisted they wait a whole seven days before he would make love to Tiffany again, and she was beginning to get impatient with him.
            He hadn't hurt her that badly, and she really liked what happened after it stopped hurting, so she couldn't understand why he insisted upon waiting.  Except he made it clear he was the master, in the bedroom at least, so she had to wait until he decided she was ready to try again.
            Stupid, dominant, alpha male.


            The third time after they made love, Tiffany lay replete and satisfied, curled up next to Kyle in his large, king-sized bed.  He'd been so gentle and caring whenever he made love to her that she couldn't imagine ever being scared or worried that he might hurt her.  Which was why she was completely taken by surprise and aback when after a few minutes of cuddle time, he rolled her onto her stomach and gave her a sharp smack.


An innocent in every sense of the word, Tiffany has wanted Kyle to make love to her since she was a teenager. Now they're engaged and she couldn't be happier, until....

Guest Post - 6/28/16 - London Lady by Heather Hart #Mobsters #TrueStory #Romance

And here it is! Heather Hart's latest romantic roller coaster - offering love, sex, murder, and a pair of villains to drive coffin nails through your heart! 



Excerpt:

            "So why did you come back tonight?"
            "To see you."
            She laughed. "No really?"
"Really, I mean it. I was watching you all night in the mirror behind Ronnie. When those idiots put their hands on you I saw red. They're lucky they got off as easy as they did. But after they left I got to thinking. What if they came back? What if they waited until we were gone to get their own back? It can happen in my line of work. I see it all the bloody time. In fact, I couldn't stop thinking about it, so here I am."
            "My guardian angel?"
            "If you like, yeah."
            She smiled, and as she stared at the pavement she felt his skin brush hers as he took her hand. She felt him squeeze it, gently. Inside her head told her to let go, to push him away. This life was not for her. This was not what she wanted. Womanizer or no - there was real danger around him; the kind of shit only a fool would get mixed up in. She knew how her uncle was, and the kind of brute he could be. And he was only small potatoes. Lucky here was mixed up with the read deal. And yet every argument she had, every doubt she cradled, every fear she felt; suddenly none of that mattered. He was holding her hand, and God protect her, she was a fool in love.
            "I'm sorry," he said.
            "Sorry?"
            "What I have to offer - well, it's not going to be easy."
            "What are you offering?"
            "I want you to be my girl. Ever since I met you, I've thought about you - - about us. About how it would be if we were together. Haven't you?"
            She kept her eyes lowered, not wanting him to read what was clearly written on her heart. At least, not yet. "Oh Lucky, I've heard so many things. I can't lie to you, I have to say, I'm a little bit afraid of you. All that business with uncle Frankie...."
            He pulled her around to a dead halt; his eyes searching hers. "But do you feel anything for me?"
            There was no use lying. Face to face like this her eyes betrayed her. She nodded. "I do."
            "And you want to be with me, too?"
            "I do."
            "Then nothing else really matters, does it?"
            With some force of will she pushed him away and resumed her walk along the pavement. "If you were any other man I would say that was true, but you're not any other man, are you? You're with the Kray boys. And don't say they're not as bad as the Richardons 'cos I know it's not true. I've heard stories, Lucky, the kind of stuff that gives little kids nightmares. Now I'm not saying I believe any of it, but if it is true... well... I dunno. I'm such an ordinary girl. All I ever wanted was to meet a nice man, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, just like my mum did. In a million years I wouldn't have imagined this. I think a lot about you, I really do, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit afraid of you, too."
            He laughed. "Of me?"
            "Yes. You're part of it, aren't you? Oh God, I just don't know, I really don't."
He pulled her to a stop again. There was a solid brick wall along the side of the street and he nudged her gently back toward it. Her heart beat wildly; if anything was true it was that she wanted him to kiss her now, so badly. She'd said her piece, but her body ached for him; for his gentleness, for his cheek, and yes, if she were completely honest with herself, for the danger too. In him they all came together as one; an irresistible, provocative package, and she wanted him more than anything else in the world.
            He brushed the back of his knuckles gently along her cheek and as he bent his head to kiss her, her last defense melted away. She loved him. Somehow, in spite of her reason, in spite of his life-style, in spite of everything, she loved him. She would be his, body and soul, and as his lips brushed hers, her heart surrendered completely. She had no choice now, she would take a chance, and as he pulled her into his body she gave herself up to an unknown destiny, one that only fate could decide. She closed her eyes, ignored her fears, and just let it happen.



Blurb:

Centered round a true story, London Lady is set in the 1960s. The city is in the grip of fear as two notorious mobster twins make their mark north of the Thames. But they have legitimate businesses too, and driven by need, Claire takes a job in one of their nightclubs as a hostess.
There she meets Bill "Lucky" Underwood. He's their major crime lieutenant, and she knows falling for someone like him is dangerous and stupid. Claire will do anything not to get mixed up in their violent world, but Lucky proves a hard man to say no to....

#6BestHop - 6/26/16 - A Dom's Dilemma - Kelly earns Jim's displeasure #BDSM #Romance


He demanded her obedience, but what she wanted was his love.

It's the last day of January and Sunday's Six of the Best again. That means I get to share another 6 paragraphs from one of my books.  Yay!

My submission for this week is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, a BDSM/spanking novel that is sometimes playful, sometimes serious and sometimes terrifying, published by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love.  Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.



In this excerpt, near the end of Chapter Five, Jim Evans and Kelly Franklin are together at "The Velvet Chains," a BDSM club where they met that evening.  Kelly is receiving some aftercare after a session of intensive medical play she did with Jim that seemed a lot more real than play.  Aftercare is an important part of the BDSM experience.  Both the Dom and the sub seek reassurance from the other.  Jim enjoys holding Kelly, and she likes being in his arms, so this is a quiet period of reflection and getting to know each other. Problem is, when Jim asks Kelly a question she really doesn't want to answer, her evasion serves as an admission she's lied to him.

Normally, a Dom would punish a sub for that infraction, but Jim has told Kelly he'll give her a onetime pass. Before they do anything else, however, he suggests they get to know each other a little better.  He begins by asking her some pertinent questions, which eventually lead to the topic of trust.  When Kelly admits that she probably trusts him more not to hurt her than anyone else, he's pleased, but remains cautious.  He informs her, in no uncertain terms, that he can be a controlling SOB who expects a lot, but he gives back in return.  If she chooses to remain as his sub, he'll expect her to be open and honest with about everything in her life. Even those things she might not want to share, but for the moment he's content to simply know more about her life until she admits she's still sore. Jim promptly takes her to task for not telling him earlier.


            Kelly slunk down a bit in his arms, looking guilty.  "I didn't realize my discomfort wasn't normal.  The last instrument you used was larger than the nozzle, and I was still tender from that."  Jim scowled to convey his displeasure and waited.  "So, what do you want to do?"
            "What do you think?" he asked coolly.  When she shrank back at his tone, he shook his head.  "You know very well what I want to do, Kellian Franklin.  I want to examine and treat the area if necessary."
            Closing her eyes, she let out a soft groan.  "How, Sir?"
            "How what?  How would I examine you, or how would I treat you?"
            "Both, Sir."
            "The exam could be visual only.  Treatment would be application of an ointment inside and out."


Kelly knows she makes a lousy sub.  She has a temper and a mouth that constantly get her into trouble, but she sees something in Jim that makes her want more of the type of mastering only he could give her, except she's not sure she can give him all the honesty he expects in return.
