Paper, curves and New cover!

posted in Blog | Tagged: , , , , , , ,

Today’s Wank Wednesday prompt is #paper and I apologise now because I’ve kinda cheated a bit.

As you know, my darling laptop got damaged at the weekend and is off to get fixed. I’m using my daughter’s teeny-tiny netbook and my trusty portable drive to deal with everything.

Typing is challenging so I’ve decided to share a little snippet from one of my soon to be releases books today to save on the amount of growling I do at the tinyness of this keyboard.

To make up for my cheating though this is a never seen before excerpt from my upcoming release Temporary Insanity. It comes out next Monday, the 24th October, and is available now to Pre-order.

I pushed open the loosened door and closed it behind me. Just beside the door was a black plastic seat, and on it was a note that read: Welcome Caroline, please sit here and enjoy x

I followed the instructions and took in my surroundings. The door I’d come through was solid wood but opposite that was a bank of windows that pretty much stretched the whole length and width of the wall. This being London the light didn’t so much as stream in but kind of dodged its way round the clouds in a lazy fashion. So the room was a little dim and no lights were lit. The main event would happen, I believed, right in the middle of the office where a large, old-fashioned-looking table dominated the large room, set directly in the centre, faced towards the window.

I couldn’t see a computer monitor of any kind but over on the filing cabinet on the far wall was a laptop case. Mystery solved.

On the desk was a man. The man was blond and with my ninja-like skills of deduction I worked out it was Connor. The top half of him, the half that leaned over the polished tabletop was clothed in shirt and tie, looking fairly business-like. The bottom half of him was virtually naked. His trousers and underwear were tangled around his ankles. His buttocks were pinker than the rest of his pale skin and–

Matt’s hand slammed down into the flesh of Connor’s buttocks with a loud smacking sound. Connor’s arse wobbled and I jumped in my seat a little. I hadn’t expected that. I looked at Matt, still fully clothed with jacket and tie and the whole sexy office ensemble, plus a very determined look on his face. Stern almost but there was something else in the mix that softened it. I didn’t think Matt was really mad at his delicious blond bit of stuff. This was another one of their kinks. I was finding out a lot about their kinks considering how little time I’d spent interacting with them.

“Now promise me you won’t do it again.”

“I won’t do it again, sir, I promise.” Connor gasped.

“It is just not professional, Connor. I don’t want to find you masturbating at your desk ever again, do you hear me?” Matt’s darker, tanned hand slapped the reddened arse before him. The flesh jumped and Connor yelped. It must have hurt. I winced in sympathy but my knickers dampened with my arousal.

“Yes, sir,” he whimpered. “I’m so sorry, sir, it’s just you’re so hot and I couldn’t stand the pressure any longer.”

“Shall I make you work without trousers in future then?”

“No, sir, not that.”

“Well, stop complaining about your damn cock, boy, and man the hell up. Look, it’s fucking hard again now, isn’t it?” Matt reached under Connor’s prone body and grasped hold of his dick.

It was certainly hard. I’d noticed that. Hard and thick and just begging to be sucked. I sighed and rolled my fingers into fists in my lap. I had been invited to watch, not to join in.

“I’m sorry sir,” he whined. “I can’t help it.”

Matt rubbed his hand up and down Connor’s shaft. “You’re such a naughty slut aren’t you?” His other hand slapped lightly on Connor’s arse. He kept smacking and the pressure increased with each stroke.

I was mesmerised by the way Connor’s hips thrust in reaction to the punishment, forcing his cock through Matt’s darker fingers. The tempo lifted and I was certain by the tortured pleasure displayed on Connor’s face that he would come soon.

Matt abruptly let go and stopped spanking. How cruel of him. Poor Connor.

“You don’t think you deserve an orgasm, do you, boy?”

“No, sir.” He gasped. His face told a different story. He had been so close and he still craved for that completion. Hell, I wanted it and I wasn’t the one with the blue balls. I wondered if they’d notice if I slipped my fingers down the front of my skirt. I desperately wanted to caress my aching clit. I knew I was there just to watch but I needed some relief too. I was certain they were too busy to notice what I did.

I quickly slid my hand down over my stomach and under my waistband, then waited as I checked if they had noticed. They hadn’t. I shuffled my fingers into my knickers and down into my damp cleft. Ah, sweet relief.

Before me Matt was unbuckling his belt and freeing himself from his trousers. His stiff dick was revealed. Long, thick and straining, it called to me. My pussy clenched with pleasure. I wanted to taste it, feel it, take it inside me. I fantasised about being that sandwich filling again. This time I wasn’t caught up in a kiss I was caught between two cocks. One between my lips and one buried deep in my cunt.

I would have to dream on, I guessed. Just because they liked a lady to watch them didn’t mean they wanted a lady to join in. Let alone this lady! I shook my head. There would be time to feel insecure and berate myself for my lack of food control later. I had to concentrate. I didn’t want to miss out on any of the show.

“Just to make this perfectly clear, I’m going to repeat myself.” Whilst I had been internally questioning, Matt had pulled a tube of lube from a drawer on the far side of the desk. He had some on his fingers and he was pushing them between Connor’s pink buttocks. “You do not come until I have come. You wait for my command, got it?”

“Yes,” Connor gasped. His poor red cock twitched as Matt’s fingers pushed inside of him. He was really battling to hold himself back from the edge. The strain could be seen in the tautness of his cheeks and forehead, and the sweat that dripped down into his eyes.

I wished I were in his place. That was something I hadn’t expected. I was fairly certain I was pretty normal when it came to my sexual desires. Well, normal by women’s magazine standards anyway. I just wanted sex. I’d wanted sex for a while actually since Tom had dumped me and my fun dose of daily sex disappeared. I should have got out there and looked for a new man but I lacked the confidence to walk into a bar or a club and hit on someone. I’m just not that confident in the way I look. I may love my curves when I see them in the mirror or I feel a man’s hand caressing them, but when I am out in public I remember all the negative remarks thrown at me over the years.

I had been so fixated on having sex of any kind that I hadn’t given any kinks time to develop. I definitely liked the idea of being dominated though. I wanted to be the one across that desk. I didn’t know how I’d react to the spanking, having never experienced it but I wanted to know what it felt like.

I wanted to feel Matt’s fingers between my buttocks. I was contemplating anal sex! What had happened to me? Had these two hot young men perverted me so easily? I suspected they were simply awakening desires that had previously lain dormant within me.

I stroked my clit and watched. My breaths became shorter and escaped my lips more rapidly. I was sure the guys could hear me but as Matt was pressing his now sheathed erection to the loosened and lubed arse of his partner I assumed they’d not notice a little extra noise from my seat on the sidelines.

And now I want to share something exciting with you. I just got in the cover image for my upcoming PRINT novel Tempting Rendezvous…I’ll be sharing it soon. Yes, I am a wicked tease. ;)

Guest Interview -Maxim Jakobowski!

posted in Blog
MAXIM JAKUBOWSKI worked for many years in book publishing as an editor (including titles by William Golding, Peter Ackroyd, Oliver Stone, Michael Moorcock, Peter Ustinov, Jim Thompson, David Goodis, Paul Ableman, Sophie Grigson, Marc Behm, Cornell Woolrich, etc…) and launched the Murder One Bookshop, which he owned and ran for over 20 years. He now writes, edits and translates full-time in London.

And now to Maxim’s brilliant answers to my interview questions:

dosvj

Do you ever wonder if people read your work and judge you as a person?

Of course, and sometimes I know what they think. Being an erotic writer does give you the sort of reputation that precedes you when you walk into a room, to say the least. I find it amusing. But I smile knowing they could never guess half of what I do or am!

What is the most important lack in your life?

Lost opportunities past.

What’s the most blatant lie you’ve ever told?

That I had nothing to do with my aunt finding her cat dead on the lawn one morning. That the turpentine I cleaned my paint brushes with had not mysteriously made its way into the damn cat’s milk. I was 9 years old and hated cats; and still do.

Do you ever write Naked?

No. It would be too uncomfortable. I have a big leather chair in which I type, and it would be too distracting having my backside stuck to it most of time and remember that I live in London, not ideal weather for nudity…

How do you react to a bad review of one of your books?

I enjoy them if they are constructive, but most of the bad reviews I’ve had have mostly been uninformed and easy to dismiss and not worry about.

Are there any occupational hazards to being an author?

Where do I begin? Becoming an expert in the art of procrastination, living in a world of my own when I should be more accessible to my family and friends, the size of publishing advances, I could go on and on, but then I wouldn’t change my status for anything in the world either.

What was the name of your first computer?

None of my computers have ever had names. But then, as I mentioned earlier, neither am I a pet sort of person….

Is there a snobbery directed against erotic writing from other authors?

Not in the erotic field, and as to my activities in the crime and thriller field, most authors I know there seem to be in awe at my ability to pull out a sex scene out of the blue, which they generally find impossible to do. And in France and Italy, where my books all do rather well, erotica is a part of the literary mainstream, so I am judged as a normal person/writer.

What are the most important attributes to remaining sane as a writer?

A healthy bank balance and a supportive wife.

Have you ever read or seen yourself as a character in a book or a movie?

Repeatedly, although I somehow seem to always fixate on characters who never remain alive all the way through to the end of the book or film.

What was the greatest thing you learned at school?

To use my imagination and just write regardless of the assigned subject. Thank you, Monsieur Laurent at the Ecole Communale Sorbier in Paris who provided the right encouragement without whom I don’t think I would have become a writer.

Are you fun to go on holiday with?

No. I hate art tourism, visiting museums, churches and all that farrago. For me a holiday is a nice beach and pool, reading a book a day in the sun, and enjoying good meals, and allowing my brain to slow down while my batteries recharge.

Ekaterina and the Night

ekatrinaLolita meets Story of O, another memorable tale of love, sex and feelings from ‘the King of the erotic thriller. When Ekaterina meets Alexander a shockingly sexy but tender romance develops.

She is a young Italian trainee journalist, who dreams of wild sexual adventures. He is the older Englishman who she believes can fulfill her fantasies. When Ekaterina is sent to interview the ageing writer Alexander in London, she is blinded by his charm and experience. Their relationship explodes in a sensual orgy, which defies society’s acceptance.
When a mysterious angel of death who calls herself Emma enters their lives, Ekaterina and Alexander know their days together are numbered.

A shocking climax set in Venice in winter brings the three protagonists together.

A tale of sex and tenderness that ranks alongside Jakubowski classic The State of Montana.

Then Came You Vanessa Devareaux

posted in Blog | Tagged: , , ,

Welcome Vanessa to the Blog today, she’s interviewing one of her Characters for us. Now over to Vanessa and Connor!

fdi

Hi Connor, I know you’re very busy at the ranch so thank you for taking time out to chat with us today.

Connor O’Riordan-It’s my pleasure.

So my first question and I’m sure we all want to know this, how is Gillian settling in to life in Wyoming?

Connor-You’d think she’d been born here. I think at first she was a little homesick for her sister because they used to spend time together a lot but she’s been here to visit Gillian once already and I think that helped.

Does Gillian help with any ranch related chores?

Connor-Well, she’s got her own marketing business now she runs from the house but when we’re short handed she’ll help with the horses and stables.

You taught her to ride, is that right?

Connor-Oh yeah, and now she’s a pro.

And how is married life treating you?

Connor-It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I can’t imagine a day without Gillian.

I know she had a boyfriend when you first met but you waited for what almost two years. Did you ever think she might get married and live happily ever after and that would be the end of your dream?

Connor-It did cross my mind each time she paid a sales visit but I just felt in my heart that she was supposed to be my lady so I didn’t give up hoping.

Do you think it was love at first sight?

Connor-I didn’t believe it until I saw Gillian, but yes, I think that’s what it was.

Did you date during those two years? I mean you’re such an attractive man

Connor-why thank you. And yes, I did go on dates now and then but my heart was never in it. I always compared each lady with Gillian and I knew it wasn’t fair to them. I mean letting them think there was a future with me.

If you had to describe Gillian to someone who didn’t know her what would you say?

Connor-how long have I got because I love talking about my wife? She’s the most beautiful woman in the world. She’s kind, has lots of empathy for everyone, she laughs at my jokes and yes, I know not all of them are funny. My family loves her too and she loves my nieces and nephews. I have to give her credit for taking on me, the ranch and this way of life.

And speaking of nieces and nephews; are the two of you planning on starting a family any time soon?

Connor-Well, I know you’ll be speaking to Gillian next and I guess I should let her tell you…no, I’m just too excited not to spill the beans. Gillian’s pregnant.

Congratulations, you must be thrilled.

Connor- we are and Gillian’s been busy getting the nursery ready and last week we drove into Casper and picked up all the baby furniture and a stroller. You should see the cute crib…listen to me rambling on but I’m just the happiest man in the world right now.

And you look it. And thank you for your time in chatting with me.

Connor-Pleasure’s all mine, ma’am.

More about Connor and the book Then Came You.

Connor O’Riordan had his heart set on Gillian Matthews the first day she stepped onto his ranch but the only problem was she had a boyfriend. He’d made her promise that if the two of them ever broke up she’d tell him. Gillian is a woman of her word and when Connor finds out she’s now available he’ll do anything to woo and romance the lady of his dreams. The best way to start…invite her to spend Thanksgiving at his ranch.
