My Sexy Saturday: Dangerous Flames

“I’m not worried about food right now.” He pressed his lips against the curve of her neck before asking, “Your first time shooting one of these?”
Her breath came out in a rush as desire crashed through her, making her nipples pucker against the fabric of her bra. “Yes.”
“How does it feel in your hands?” he whispered in her ear.
“Hard.”
“And?” His fingers slid down her arms and finally wrapped around her hands.
            “Dangerous.” Her thighs started to tingle, her panties dampened, while her core yearned for him.

Great News!

What have I been doing lately? Working on a novella for my publisher's new anthology. The opportunity hit my inbox last month and I knew I wanted to jump on it. My editor said to revise my first idea, so I took this as a chance to come up with a completely new story line and characters. And I fell in love with them! Even though I was sick I met my submission deadline and completed the first round of edits this morning. The novella is called In His Embrace. Watch for the anthology to be released in November!

Fortune Teller Blog Hop

Meet the Mia from Dangerous Desires, the next book in the Mafia Hearts series. After you enjoy this snippet from my WIP, check out the other participants in the blog hop.

***

Mia walked down a side street leading away from the Las Vegas strip. She glanced down at the display on her cheap cell phone. Another forty-five minutes until she could meet with the apartment manager. Adjusting the bag on her shoulder, she eyed the seedy businesses dotting the street. A bright "open" sign drew grabbed her attention. Hmm. She'd never been to a fortune teller... no wait, a psychic. A new experience for a new brand new city.

She strode up the sidewalk and through the door, not hesitating on her decision until an old woman entered the small room.

"You want future told?" the woman asked in broken English. Her tanned skin wrinkled with age around her eyes glistening with a bright wisdom.

Mia slowly nodded.

The woman pointed her long, thing finger to the large backed chairs off to the left side of the room. What happened to the round table? The crystal ball? Mia shook her head at her preconvied notions of what this experience would be like as she followed the woman's directions.

Sitting across from Mia, the woman rested her hands in her lap, her eyes never leaving Mia's face. "Secrets."

"Excuse me?" Mia asked.

The woman nodded. "You here in Las Vegas based on secrets. A love affair? A job?"

Mia's hands trembled. How did she know that? Well, she wasn't having any type of relationship with Sebastian but her goal was to find him. And her future career would entirely be based on a secret. She wanted the money that the Mafia, and Sebastian, would bring her.

"Am I wrong?"

"I'm not having a love affair. But work, yes."

The woman's laugh rang out. "Oh, but you will. I see it clearly. You will too."

Mia's heart raced. "Anything else?" Did she even want to know? She wasn't so sure.

"Your secrets will  explode. Boom! Right in your face."

My Sexy Saturday- Midnight Secrets

Not wanting to lose this chance with him, she wiped her sweaty palms down her pants before
putting her arms over his shoulders. Tingles of excitement raced throughout her body when Miguel
slid his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer to him, making her breasts press tight
against his chest. Her breath caught in her throat. Her body stiffened when his lips found the curve
of her neck as they swayed together over the grass, while the slow song filled the warm air with
sweet tunes. The evening would’ve been perfect if she hadn’t had to continuously push away the
panic that tried to make an appearance in her heart.

“We can stop if you aren’t sure about doing this,” he whispered against her ear, his hot breath
sending shivers through her.

“I want to.” Each part of her body screamed for more, in spite of the mix of emotions flooding through her by his embrace. Fear swirled through the arousal and desire to be with him. Maybe she should just end it with him right here. End the dance, end the date, and end any tomorrow that might’ve happened with Miguel. But she didn’t want him to let go of her.

“Then relax. I won’t hurt you.” He ran his fingers through her hair. “Not ever.”

Her stomach tightened as she repeated his words in her mind. He wouldn’t hurt her ever. The more she thought about what he’d said, the more she believed him. The words intoxicated her, or
the wine finally started to work, making her relax against him. Were those the words she needed
to hear? She took a deep breath, enjoyed the spicy scent of his cologne, and his arms holding her
tight against him. Even the moon seemed a little brighter as it started coming up for the night.
She snuggled closer to him, allowing his hot breath to brush across her ear, sending shivers
down her spine. Being with Miguel made her realize how much she’d missed the security that came
with being with a man. If she’d known what she’d been missing, she might’ve dated sooner. But
what if he caused this sensation to come over her and nobody else could? Nope, not Miguel. It
couldn’t be him because that would mean this was more than she thought. No entanglements. Only
fun. And that’s what she’d have.

Allison pulled back a tiny bit to look in his dark eyes. She moved her face forward to brush
her lips gently against his. The simple kiss shot sparks through her body. Her lips parted and she
tasted the tip of his tongue as it played just inside her mouth. Heat swirled around in her belly and
traveled in both directions through her body, all the way down to the tips of her toes and up to her
cheeks, making every part of her body long for him. Opening her mouth more provided the chance
to take his tongue all the way in.

His hand reached under the back of her shirt to trace small circles over her skin with his
warm fingers, then moved around her side to her stomach. “Do you want me to stop?”

I stood by the lake’s edge and tossed a rock, trying to make it skip across the water as my
father had once taught me when I was a little girl. My lips twisted in a frown as the rock plopped against the water and quickly sank. Obviously, rock skipping could be added to my list of
failures.

“Hey.” The sudden sound of a deep voice cutting through the silence should’ve startled me, but it didn’t at all.

Curious, I turned toward the sound.

He stood there with a strand of dark hair falling down against his tanned forehead. He
brushed it back and smiled, revealing a brilliant set of teeth.

“Have we met before?” I asked, trying to place him from somewhere.

Instead of answering, he stepped next to me. “Let me show you how to do that.” He
picked up a rock and twisted his wrist just right, sending the rock skipping across the water.

Once the rock sank, he turned to me again. His dark eyes stared into mine as he slid his finger
down my cheek.

“Amber--”
