           “You look gorgeous.” 

He loved the wonderful shade of red she turned when he gave her a compliment.  She grinned at him and looked down to the floor.  He stepped closer to her so he could lift her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.  He was taken aback by her beautiful brown eyes and the way they would light up when she focused on him.  He could drown in her gaze.  And then she smiled and he knew he was a goner.  He leaned closer, needing a taste.  She opened up to him with a moan and he took advantage taking their kiss deeper and cupping the back of her head.  He guided her to the bed until he heard someone behind him clearing their throat.

“I’m still here guys and aren’t you supposed to be at the wedding reception soon?”

Jas’ roommate pulled him from the haze that was Jasmine.  He took a step back and smiled down at her, hoping the night went fast.  His need grew stronger the more he was in her presence.  If someone had told him months ago that he’d be here with a beautiful woman that he’d met over the phone, he would have called them crazy.

“She’s right, we should be leaving.”  Jas managed to say.

James took her hand while she said good bye to her friend and led them to the door.

“You really do look great.”

“Thank you.  You look so handsome in your uniform.  I never realized how much I loved the marine dress uniform.  I can’t keep my eyes off of you.”

“Darlin’, I feel the same way about you.  If I didn’t have to show up at my dad’s reception, I would be all over you.”

Jas laughed.  He loved to hear her laugh almost as much as he enjoyed her smile.  How did I get so lucky?

They reached the car he was using and James rushed to the passenger side to open the door for her.

“Thank you.”

James leaned down to give her a small kiss before shutting the door and getting into the car.

Ten minutes later they were at the reception hall and Jas turned to open her door when he stopped her.

“Wait.” He pulled her toward him.  “I can’t keep my hands off you.”  And then he kissed her.  He stopped when he heard a voice outside the car.

“Hey, you two come in?  Dad’s been wondering where you are.”

James sighed and pulled away. 

“I guess we’d better head in, but after this, you’re mine.”

He got out of the vehicle and went to open her door, helping Jas out of the car and into his dad’s wedding reception.

“I’m so glad I met you.  You make me very happy.”

James didn’t give Jas time to answer as they entered the building and he started introducing her to his family.  I can’t wait until this is over, He thought with a sigh.

Interrupting Your Regularly Scheduled Program…Again

Heather:  Aren’t you supposed to be doing something right now?

 

Jambrea:  I don’t think so, why?

 

Heather:  Do you know what tomorrow is?

 

Jambrea:  Um…yeah.  Wednesday.

 

Heather:  And what usually happens on Wednesday?

 

Jambrea:  Well…ummm…*light bulb goes off* OH!  My blog story!

 

Heather:  Well is it done?

 

Jambrea:  Mmmm…well…ummm…

 

Heather:  I take that is a no!  *shakes head* what have you been doing all this time.

 

Jambrea:  I had great plans to have it done already, really I did, but…but…*sigh* I threw my schedule out the window.  This promotion stuff is hard, but fun!  I wrote 2 blogs last night and I finished another one today, plus I sent some info for another blog and someone just asked me to go on their blog too!  It is CRAZY!  I wanted to write my blog story tonight, but today is release day and we are having a chat so I know there is no way it will be done in time.  I’m sorry Heather.

 

Heather:   Well at least you gave the blog readers something hot last week.  You know you’ll have to make it up to them next week, right?

 

Jambrea:  I know.  And I will!  I’m almost finished with You Rang?  So I’ll need to think of something else to write.  Do you have any ideas?

 

Heather:    I don’t know about that.  I do know that you need to get back to Molli and Decklin.  Not to mention Becca and Samson.  You know Sunie will wait.  She is very patient, but she has been talking to me lately.  Something about she hopes speed dating gets better. 

 

Jambrea:  You’re making my head hurt just saying their names.  Now they are all talking at once.  How am I going to get anything done?

 

Heather:  I’m sure you’ll think of something.  Now get back to work!

 

Jambrea:  Yes ma’am!

 

Heather:  *giggle*

Chatting with Ren and Sam

Heather:  Hi Sam.  I’m Heather and I hear that you are the muse of the wonderful TA Chase and you just might have a character I can talk to.  Oh Ren you sexy thing you.  Do you have time to talk to me and Sam?  I would love to ask some questions.

 

Sam:  Hey there, Heather. It’s nice meeting you.  Yes, I’m TA’s muse and I thoroughly enjoy tormenting him with story ideas. After all, isn’t that in the job description? Lol.  I did manage to drag along one of TA’s characters. Ren, say hello to the lovely lady.

 

Ren:  Ma’am *tips his hat* Nice to meet you.

 

Sam: As you can see, Ren tends to be a man of few words, but I’m sure we can drag some interesting information out of him. *winks*

 

Heather:  Oh goodie!  We are going to have such fun and I enjoy tormenting Jambrea as well.  As a matter of fact, I’m doing it right now.  *giggle* 

 

Heather:  Sam, when you introduced Ren to TA, did you know he would be hooking up with that sweet and yummy Tyler?  Those two just seem to fit and can I say…drool.  And Ren, you lucky man you, what is you favorite thing about Ty?

 

Sam:  Yes and no.  How’s that for a definite answer? *laughs* Ren’s a man who has been through a lot and found being control works best for him.  I knew TA had a couple of characters rampaging through his head that would work with Ren. From the moment Ren and Tyler met, it was like two puzzle pieces fitting together.  I did a good job.  *pats himself on the back and sips his martini*

 

Ren:  My favorite thing about Tyler? *blushes* I’m not sure I should talk about that here.  What kind of rating does this blog have?

 

Heather:  *giggle* we can be naughty.  *walks up to Ren and caresses his cheek* you’re so cute when you blush.  Tyler is a lucky man.  Ok…If you don’t want to tell me your favorite thing about Tyler, what is your second favorite thing?  Oh and Sam sweetie, you did an EXCELLENT job.  Ren and Tyler make me swoon.  *sigh*

 

Ren: *blushes again* My favorite thing about Tyler, besides his talented mouth and tight ass, has to be the way he surrenders to me.  His trust in me is more exciting and a bigger turn-on than anything else he does.

 

Sam: See I told you, we could drag some good stuff out of him, Heather.  Just keep asking him questions about Tyler and he’ll babble like a brook.  *hums “My Favorite Things”* As a muse, my job is to find two characters that fit and introduce them to TA. If they’re right for each other, they’ll start telling their story and driving the author crazy with all sorts of demands.

 

Heather:  You gentlemen are just too dreamy for words.  Sam it is fun to drive our authors crazy isn’t it?  But it all works out in the end.  *sigh* I love it when we get to the happily ever after and then I usually hit Jambrea with the secondary characters because they have a story too.  Speaking of supporting characters, Ren in your story Bound by Love J.T., Tyler’s twin is there like a shadow hovering over you and Tyler.  Do you think there is hope for J.T.?  Sam, have you found anyone who can tame that wild brother?

 

Ren: *snorts* That spoiled brat needs a strong hand and a good spanking.  I’m sure there’s someone out there who can beat some sense into the kid.  I mean he can’t be all bad, Tyler loves him.

 

Sam: I’ve got a secret to tell you. *looks around, bends forward and gestures for Heather to move closer* I’ve found two wonderful people to tame JT. I haven’t finished introducing them yet. I still have Ren’s two brothers to take care of first before JT learns how to submit. *grins* It’ll be so much fun.

 

Heather:  Oh goodie, I can’t wait!  *gives Sam a kiss on the cheek* what a wonderful muse you are.  Are there any other secrets you would like to share before we have to say good bye?  I love a good secret.  *giggles*

 

Sam:  A good muse never reveals his secrets, love.  I do have some other adorable men waiting in the wings for TA to tell their stories.  A football player and a cute waiter.  A cowboy and a country singer. Oh…*claps his hands* and Ren’s brother, Isaiah takes a traumatized soldier under his wing.  So many men and so little time, but being a muse is a lot like being a matchmaker and I love my job. *smiles*

 

Heather:  I can’t wait to see what you have cooked up for TA and his men.  I know Jambrea can’t either.  Thank you Sam and Ren for talking to me today.  Ren, I’m sure you need to get back to Tyler and Sam, get to those men.  *giggles*

 

*Phone rings. Ren pulls one out of his pocket, checks the number and grins.*

 

Ren: Yes, ma’am.  Tyler’s calling me right now. We have plans for tonight.  It was nice talking to you. *tips his hat and walks away*

 

Sam:  *hugs Heather and kisses her cheeks* It was great chatting with you, honey.  Keep up the good work with Jambrea. You’re doing a marvelous job. I really must be going.  I have an idea for TA.  I need to catch up with him and torment him with the story plot. *waves good-bye as he rushes away* I hope we can do this again soon. Bye.

 

Here is a blurb and the cover of Bound by Love:

 

Two cowboys fall in love. It’s as simple and as complicated as that.

Tyler Newsome is heading home to the Lazy N, tired of the rodeo and tired of always being his charismatic twin’s shadow. It’s time he gets a life of his own—and maybe the man he’s always dreamed of, too.

Ren Alston’s always been attracted to Tyler, but never made a move because of his own mental and emotional baggage. But after years spent taming his demons and gaining control in every aspect of his life, Ren sees the younger man’s return as a sign of good things to come.

But first, they have to deal with Tyler’s twin, past indiscretions and Ren’s brothers. Will these cowboys manage to build a strong foundation of trust and love? Or will their problems be too much for them?

Warning: Explicit manlove. Hot naked cowboys, caramel sauce, spanking, whipping and a new twist on the old fashioned roll in the hay.

Interrupting Your Regularly Scheduled Program

Jambrea:  Today You Rang? is supposed to be up.  And usually it would be, but…well…you see—

Heather:  Go on Jambrea, tell them why you don’t have the installment done for today.  *giggle*

Jambrea:  You hush.  Some of this is your fault too.

Heather:  How can you talking to two handsome men and being a fan girl be MY fault?

Jambrea:  Well you left me.  What was I supposed to do?

Heather:  Hey!  I was still around.  I just had a few, um, things to do myself.

Jambrea:  Like what?

Heather:  Well, I went to find Raven and—

Jambrea:  You did WHAT?!

Heather:  Hold on.  It isn’t like I found him or anything.  And how did you get this topic off of you and on to me?  Your plan isn’t working.  They still want to know why the story isn’t up.

Jambrea:  Jas and James are being a little, shy.

Heather:  Oh so now it’s your character’s fault?  I see how this is going to go.  *giggle*  I guess I’ll have to tell them.

Jambrea:  WAIT!  They don’t need to know all my secrets, do they?

Heather:  I guess not, but you need to take some of the blame.

Jambrea:  *sigh*  I guess so.  Hey, can I put some of the blame on Joy?

Heather:  Now how does Joy factor into this?

Jambrea:  Well after my…um…chat, she called me.  That could count as distractions, right?  I mean I had to talk to Joy and she has the best accent.  You can’t even imagine!  I loved it.  And she was so excited—

Heather:  Wait, why was she excited?

Jambrea:  Well…that is between her and me.  lol I can’t give away a girls secrets.  Let’s just say we were both happy with last nights talk.

Heather:  You just won’t give anything away are you?

Jambrea:  Nope.  And don’t think you are getting away with your Raven comment either.

Heather:  Well it isn’t as if I found him.  I did find Christian.  He is an amazing man.  Too bad he’s taken.  *sigh*  I think I can help him.  We’ll see.

Jambrea:  Heather, just stay away from Raven for now.  Talk to Christian and Dorian more.  Please?

Heather:  I can’t make any promises.  There is just something about that vampire that draws me to him.

Jambrea:  Um Heather, I think that is part of his power to lure victims.

Heather:  That may be the case, but I am nobody’s victim.

Jambrea:  Too true.  I know you can handle yourself.  Okay, as I was saying before some one interrupted, You Rang? will be back next Wednesday and it will be hot as long as Jas and James cooperate and give up the story.  Until then, remember to come back tomorrow for a little banter and Friday for Kensi’s wonderful story!

You Rang? Part Seven

Today is the day and I am so nervous.  Jas was on her way to James’ dad’s house to meet him in person for the first time.  Not only would she be meeting him, but his brother and father as well.  It could be very awkward and being shy did not help matters.  She just hoped she didn’t get lost.  Directions and Jas did not go hand and hand. 

What would she say?  What if he didn’t like her in person?  Her nerves got the better of her and she pulled over to take a few calming breaths.  Come on Jas.  It’s just James.  You’ve spoken to him, you know him.  Now just drive and get there.

A few minutes later she pulled up to the apartment, parked and got out of the car.  She took her steps slowly, calming herself along the way.  When she got to the door, she paused again and before she could stop herself, she knocked.

When the door opened she smiled.  There he was.  James.  Just as in all his pictures.  She sighed with relief when he pulled her into his arms for a hug.  It felt so good to be touching him, finally.  He pulled back and smiled down at her.

“I didn’t think you would ever get here, I’ve been driving my family nuts.” He said with a chuckle.

“I was so nervous.”

“What is there to be nervous about?  You know me.”       

“You have to admit, we might know each other, but meeting in person is different.”

“Maybe a little, but I’m still me.  Come on; let me introduce you to my family.”

James took Jas’ hand and led her into the apartment.  She took a deep breath and smiled.  Everything would be fine.  She liked James, she would like his family and she would finally be able to hold the man she was starting to have feelings for.

“Dad, John, This is Jasmine.  The girl I told you about, the woman with the voice.”

Jas’ face flushed a bright red.  She hated to have the attention drawn to her, but she smiled and held out her hand.

Once the introductions were complete the four sat down to talk a little, with the television in the background the chit chat stayed idle.  Jas kept looking at James out of the corner of her eye.  She really wanted to get him alone, but didn’t want to be rude.  He kept smiling back at her and finally asked what she had been waiting for.

“Why don’t we head out?  Be back later, guys.”

James took her hand and helped her off the couch, almost rushing her out the door.  Once they were by her car, he pulled her close for the kiss she dreamt about, his lips, soft against hers, brushing back and forth.  She closed her eyes and leaned into him, letting his strong body hold them both up as his tongue caressed her lips, asking, no begging for entry.  Who was she to deny him?  She slightly opened her mouth, allowing him to plunder her mouth.  It was heaven, everything she imagined it would be and more.  His hands roamed her body and she wanted to pinch herself to make sure this wasn’t a dream.  When he pulled back, Jas moaned and tried to draw him closer.

“We can’t stand out here making out babe.  Not in front of my dad’s building.”

Jas noticed that she wasn’t the only one having trouble breathing.

“Get in the car.  I know a place we can go.”

Jas hurried into the car, driving them to a more private place so they could get to know each other better and in person where dreams were about to become reality.

NaNoWriMo

Brighid: Heather, darling, did you hear what are dear Nannette is doing?
Heather: No I didn’t.  Is she keeping secrets again?

Brighid: She’s braving NaNoWriMo, isn’t that fabulous? Jacks it too chicken to make that kind of commitment this year so bravo Nette!

Cindy: I’m not CHICKEN, I’m busy this year, that’s all. But I agree, way to go, Nette!

Heather:  Jambrea won’t do it either.  She says it scares her.

Jambrea:  Well it does.  That is a LOT of words!  Way to go Nette! 

Brighid: To-may-to, to-mah-to, Jacks. Anyway, have you all heard Nette’s fantastic idea? Hey, maybe we could lure delicious Dorian and Christian here to tell us about it. 

Heather:  I know I want to hear more.  *giggle* 

Nette: Hi guys it’s been a long time. It’s good to see you all again. Yes, I’ve decided to be brave and try the NaNoWriMo this year. Kensana thought it would be a good idea for me to finally put myself out there.

Kensana: Hey what are friends for? I told you, just do it. If you don’t finish it you’ve got a start. If you finish it we’ll do edits in December.

Nette: That’s easy for you to say. This is all new to me.

Kensana: You’ll never know unless you try. Right girls.

Cindy : Absolutely!

Jambrea: I totally agree.  Heather has been pushing me to do Sweating with Sven.  It isn’t as intense as Nano!  I’m still not sure.  *sigh*  You just go Nette!  Show us what you’re made of.

Brighid: Nette and Kensi! How lovely. Congrats on the effort, Nette! And when do we get a peek at Dorian, Christian, and Kela? I haven’t seen them around PM yet. Have you, Heather?

Heather:  No, I haven’t seen them.  I think I would remember.  *giggle*  And Jambrea…just do it!  *giggle
Kensana: I’d have to say that would be Gideon’s fault. He and the guys have been hanging out since they arrive Sunday night.

Nette: If I can get them to stay around for awhile I’ll get their pics to Kensana to put on your blog. They’re a little more outgoing than I’m used to, so I just wait until they’re ready.

Kensana: I’ve been telling you since high school, men do as you say, when you say. Wait until they’re ready? I don’t think so. Wait until I get my hand on… Gideon!” [storms off]

Nette:
I could be wrong but I think you’ll get to meet them soon, if Kensana has her way.

Brighid:
And I think we all know what Kensana wants…

Cindy:  Kensana GETS! [nodding]
