W is for Words. What is an author without words? We love to use wonderfully descriptive words to set a scene, powerful and evocative words to express emotion, and vivid and imaginative words to create a lasting impression in your mind. With all that, who needs TV?
Here are several words from my upcoming release.
Unbind My Heart; Club Decadence Book 4.
Watch for it July 5th from Blushing Books.
The Blurb:
Unlucky
in love and gun-shy after the epic failure that was her marriage, Lexie Berry
is looking for nothing more than a girl’s night out as she joins her friends
for drinks and good music at Club Decadence. She didn’t plan on sexy Master
Jonas capturing her eye and sparking more than her interest. He’s a Dom though,
and she hasn’t had sex in six years, not since her ex-husband violently
attacked her in a drunken rage. But Jonas is tall, ripped and handsome. He’s
also an expert at rope bondage, her guilty fantasy that she’s kept secret for
years. In fact, he teaches classes in Shibari at his new MMA studio and asks
her to be his model. Can Lexie move beyond her traumatic past and be brave
enough to explore with Jonas? Can he be the one to earn her trust and help her
break free from the bonds of her constricted and wounded heart?
Stopping
in the doorway, she looked around at the brightly lit smaller studio. Her eyes scanned the blinds on the windows and
then rose to the ceiling where she gaped at the network of cables, pulleys and
chains.
“What
do you do in this room?”
“This
is where I’ll be holding my Shibari classes.”
Her
breath caught as images flashed before her of Jonas’ binding her in intricate
ties and suspending her from his rigging system. She walked farther into the room with her
heartbeat accelerating, palms sweating, and other more private parts dampening
as well. She tried to play it cool,
although she’d already disclosed her fascination with ropes thanks to a trio of
lemon drops.
“I
think I may have mentioned that a photographer friend and I are working
collaboratively on a book. The topic is Shibari;
not a how-to, but an artistic representation of how beautiful rope art can
really be.” He walked up to Lexie and
gently pulled her face down from where she was staring upward, transfixed by
the bevy of ropes and pulleys in the ceiling.
“I was hoping you would be my model.”
“Me? Why me?”
“My
usual assistant for demonstrations is pregnant and unable to participate. She also isn’t quite the image I want to
portray in the book. I need someone who
is flexible and has the endurance to be tied and posed for long hours at a
time. With your beauty and grace, along
with your background in gymnastics and modeling, you’ll be perfect.
Lexie
was intrigued and extremely excited by the prospect. To be tied up and displayed for this man was
a fantasy come true. She knew she didn’t
have to worry about friends and family seeing the pictures and being
offended. Her only family was in the
lifestyle and most of her friends as well.
“What if I don’t like it?”
“Being
tied you mean? I was planning to do an
introductory class this weekend. You
could be my demonstration model. This
will be a beginner’s class, so everyone will be new and nervous.”
She
thought about it for several minutes. “Like
a test run. Okay, I’d like to try.”
“Shibari
can be a relaxing, sensual experience. I
think you will enjoy it. I hope I can
open your eyes to the true beauty and power of the experience.” Jonas took a step closer and brought her face
up to his. “I’m very attracted to you,
Lexie. Ever since the first night, I’ve
wanted you. Tonight was a first step in
building something between us. Shibari will
bring us even closer together and be a giant step toward a deeper
relationship, ultimately easing you into the BDSM lifestyle, as well.”
Jonas’
words and his thumb grazing along her plump lower lip had her melting. His touch was magnetic, and she seemed to be
pulled closer, the attraction irresistible, his lips compelling.
“It
will be an exciting and very satisfying journey for us both. Does that sound like something you’d like?”
“Yes,
Jonas, I think I’d like that very much.”
“Excellent. That means as of now, I am your Sensei."
