Claimed out now!

July 4, 2016

CLAIMED: A Tale of Surrender

Out on Amazon, now!  Click here…

My first official release as a self-publishing author!  Little scary…okay, quite scary, but good in a sort of can’t believe I’m finally doing this sort of way.

Claimed was such a special labor of love for me.  It’s a shorter story at around 11,000 words, but I spent months writing it, wanting to really give these two characters a night they couldn’t let go of.  Sometimes we just meet that someone and everything falls into place.

***

This is reckless, I know. Dangerous. Perhaps even stupid. But I can’t spend another night alone. I won’t. There’s something out there waiting for me, I know it. The problem is I’m not sure who or what it is I’m searching for. All I know is I’m tired of hiding, tired of being afraid. Only I’ve kept myself sheltered for too long. Because now the touch of a man is not just something I want, it’s something I need. And need makes you do things…things you might otherwise not do.

***

“Are you afraid?” he asks.
“Yes,” I say with a rush of breath. “I’m not—I’ve never…”
“Done this sort of thing before?”
I nod, sensing he wears a slight smile.
Teeth nip at my earlobe and I shiver.
“Fear heightens the senses,” he explains gently. “Consider fear a gift.”

***

This story contains explicit sex scenes and strong/rough elements of Dominance and Submission.

I keep this pic of Howard Hughes--or Howie as I li I keep this pic of Howard Hughes--or Howie as I like to call him--next to my writing desk. When I was doing some research on him after watching The Aviator, I came across this photo and it stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't look away. It felt as though he had traveled through time and was right there in the room with me, staring me down. So arresting and intense. And I didn't want it to end. So I put him next to my desk, with my little jade Buddha to  watch over him. I like feeling Howie's eyes on me when I'm writing. Whenever I get stuck or feel myself struggling, I'll look over and find him watching me. I'll think of how he risked everything to chase his dreams. How he never gave up. How the struggles only made him work harder. I guess he pushes me in a way. He also reminds me that we're all flawed...and just doing the best we can. There's comfort in that. I hope Howie finally found some peace. And I hope he enjoys hanging out with me. ❤
