“Secrets”

Melissa

In the cool darkness of the semi-crowded bar, I study the glass in front of me and consider my journey, how many steps I’ve taken in the last two years, how far I’ve come. Memories of my old life fade like smoke in a glass. The shame that held me so tightly now dances at the edges of my mind like the whisper of a bad dream, a flicker of shadows that no longer make sense in my world.

Young women in shiny slip-dresses twist and laugh on the dance floor, but instead of resentment, my lips curl into a smile. My old self—cynical, bitter, defeated—is a memory I have to work hard to recall. These days I could dance all night with them, but I’d rather spend my energy on other things.

The slim glass holds a pale amber liquid, and I can’t resist taking a sip. An involuntary wince pinches my eyes as I put it down. Seven and seven. Refreshing citrus dragged down by the heavy undertone of whiskey. So gross.

Sliding my palms over my thighs, I realize my outfit isn’t much different from the girls’ on the dance floor. The deep red silk is fitted at my waist, and drapes loosely over my torso. My long, dark hair is swept over one shoulder revealing a thin spaghetti strap. I lightly touch the delicate gold chain around my neck leading to the floating heart pendant that sits between my collarbones, and light glances off the thick gold cuff on my wrist.

Unlike that night almost two years ago, I’m alone. My best friend Elaine is miles away with her new husband, most likely indulging in that blissful honeymoon period of early marriage. Make that, most certainly indulging. I know those two well.

No, I came by myself to this bar in Princeton after finishing my business with a client in town. My infant son is in Wilmington, spending the weekend with his grandmother. Studying my hands, I admire the deep blue sapphire ring on my finger, but I have no wedding band.

At thirty-two, I’m an unmarried mother of a beautiful little boy, and I wouldn’t change a thing… Yet. The tiny silver scar at my hairline reminds me of what a bad marriage looks like, and with my successful marketing business and the gorgeous cottage at the beach I own, I’m satisfied with my life. Calm, not desperate. I’ll take my next steps deliberately, with certainty.

All these thoughts preoccupy my mind when I blink up and catch him watching me from across the square-shaped bar. Blue eyes, strikingly blue because of the way they stand out beneath his dark brow, coupled with collar-length thick dark hair.

He’s massive, at least six-two, and elegantly dressed with a thick stainless watch on his wrist. I can spot his type a mile away—rich, powerful, accustomed to getting what he wants. I can’t deny the hum his gaze sets off under my skin. I know what he wants.

Catching my lip in my teeth to stop my grin, I know what I want, too, and it’s no coincidence I happened to look up at that exact moment to meet his stare. Still, I’ll make him work for it.

He starts to move, his eyes never leaving mine. I don’t look away either. Thick cords of muscle ripple beneath the thin black sweater he wears as he glides past the oblivious patrons talking and laughing. Some are more animated than others, waving their arms and putting their drinks in peril.

Yellow lights hidden in the recesses above the bar illuminate rows of liquor bottles in all colors and shapes. Glasses hanging upside down above also catch the flickering light. It’s a raucous atmosphere, but this man and I are in our own secret place of longing and desire.

As he rounds the final corner, and I see him in full, my breath quickens. My eyes drift from his broad shoulders to his narrow waist, grey slacks and black shoes, then back up just as he reaches me. A close beard shadows his face, and the muscles low in my pelvis tighten at the thought of how it feels brushing the soft skin of my inner thighs.

Book Review: Falling For A Muse by L. Mertz (A Muse Inspired Love #1)

Falling for a Muse

By: L. Mertz

A Muse Inspired Love #1

Reviewed by : Sandra Long

A Muse is a cover model for novels and most romance books have a gorgeous hunk of manhood on the cover, usually shirtless and built like a bod builder. Some of them are drawings from the imagination o t he artist. But some are real men ( and sometimes women ) and the authors love to take these men with them to book fairs and signings because they draw much bigger crowds. These gorgeous people develop a fan base ad may receive thousands of pieces of mail, some containing gifts, most asking for dates or even proposing marriage. For a relationship with one of these people to work out, the other partner in the relationship must be able to deal with this star power and attention or the relationship is doomed from the start. In this novel, Kelly and her best friend/almost sister, Amber, have gone to a weekend book fair and signing just because Amber, who is somewhat promiscuous, has read that a Muse by the name of Austin will be there. Kelly could care less but will do almost anything for Amber.

Kelly’s parents took Amber inn when her parents died so the two girls were raised more like sisters than friends. The morning of the book fair Amber wakes Kelly up at 5:45am to go to the hotel gym and workout because this Muse named Austin just posted on his facebook page that is where he is and Amber is determined to see him and hopefully meet him. When the girls get to the gym it is Kelly, not Amber, that catches Austin’s eye and she falls for him like love at first sight. They leave the gym together, go have breakfast together and then go to his room for some red hot sex. Every time they get near each other, everything heats up and when the weekend is over and it is time to go home, Kelly and Amber to Washington D.C. and Austin to Texas, he asks Kelly to move to Texas and live with him. She really wants to do it but has just learned that Amber is pregnant and does not know who the dad is so she has no support system except for Kelly and Kelly’s parents. Austin tells her to bring Amber with her.

She and Amber talk it over and decide they can and will do it. Amber owns her own beauty salon because she is such a skilled hair dresser and make-up artist that she was much in demand so she figures she can sell her salon in D.C. and open a new one in Texas after she has the baby. Kelly has a college degree in general studies which is pretty much worthless in today’s job market, so she works as a bartender and knows those jobs are available everywhere, so relocating to Texas should not be a problem. It takes a few months to get their affairs in order but the red hot love between Austin and Kelly never cools so the girls go through with the move and find themselves living in Texas and Amber finds herself being nurtured by Austin’s grandmother and one of his best friends, Bobby. Kelly suspects there is a budding romance between Amber and Bobby. Just after Austin proposes and Kelly accepts, she has a job and plans are underway to build them their dream house on a prime piece of property on the family ranch but far enough away from the main house for privacy, Kelly’s headaches that she has been dismissing along with some dizziness and nausea, suddenly turns out to be caused by a brain tumor requiring surgery. For three weeks she stayed in a coma while her loved ones worried themselves sick, especially Austin who would not leave her side. When she finally comes out of the coma and is released from the hospital, Austin has tried so hard to make everything perfect for her homecoming, but the Kelly who comes home seems totally different than the Kelly he fell in love with and she demands that she is going home with her parents. By this time Amber has delivered her baby and is openly living with Bobby and she gets very angry with Kelly and tells her to go on home is that is what she wants but Amber is staying in Texas, her new home, with Bobby. Will Kelly actually leave Austin ? Has she stopped loving Austin ? Is she tired of Austin making decisions about their life without consulting her ? Can she recognize that he is trying to protect her and shield her from as much as he can because he loves her or is he just trying to dominate her, which she can never tolerate ? Has the brain tumor changed her personality or was it the fan letters and nude fan photos that she found in Austin’s room ? Can she deal with the jealousy of being the wife of a muse ? So many things to consider, so much pressure on her as she slowly recovers from brain surgery and a 3 week coma. Will love conquer all or will her jealousy and resentment destroy their love ? This author keeps you guessing.

If you are looking for a short novel, that can easily be read in one day and is light reading for a day when you just want to leave the reality of your mundane life and relax with reading about someone else’s problems and take your mind off your own, while getting enough erotic encounters to stimulate your hormones, then this book would be an excellent choice for you.

Who do you turn to for that inspiration? 

Kelly is an avid reader and doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life. All of that quickly changes when she meets the one man that has inspired many to be themselves. Austin isn’t just a cover model for a well known Indie author he’s an inspiration for many people. Having a huge fan base can create trouble for a good looking guy, but he wants to find love. 

Living by the moment Kelly and Austin jump head first into each other, but does their story have a Happily Ever After?

2 brothers... 1 girl... I never expected to be that girl. The one desiring the touch of two brothers and being thrust into a world of intense pleasure. Not in reality anyway. Both of these brothers are out to please and they both have the equipment to do it. The Wilder brothers have proved that. Kyan Wilder fucks like no other man I've ever experienced. He's rough, creative and still willing to be gentle when you need it. He's every single woman's desire brought to life and he's not willing to let me go until he's done pleasing me in every possible way he can. Hunter Wilder is a loose cannon. He likes to party, get wild and then show you a good time in the bedroom. He keeps me pleased and reminds me that I'm still young and not everything in life needs to be so serious. We're all fine with sharing. Things are going smoothly. It saves the brothers from having to commit and it ensures that I'll always get the sexual satisfaction that I desire. I mean what girl doesn’t dream of having sex with the two most sinfully sexiest brothers to walk this earth? Well I didn’t… Until I got a taste. But then I remembered that nothing this good lasts forever... 

Kyan is watching me with a lazy smirk as I look down at my camera. “I guess the next spot is in my bedroom. Not many girls get invited in there.” He tugs on the end of my ponytail as his eyes roam over my body. “Good thing you dressed comfortably. You need to be flexible for this part.” I watch the way his ass and back muscles move as he exits the room. “Holy shit,” I say to myself. I pull my shirt away from my chest as I get an instant rush of heat through my body. He does this on purpose; uses the perfect words to make a girl sweat bullets. He’s sexy, smooth, and successful; the perfect blend of trouble. I stop in his doorway and watch him as he undoes his jeans and tugs at his zipper. His eyes meet mine and stay there, as he drops his jeans and kicks them aside. I can’t help but to take notice of his thick thighs and how they flex whenever he moves. Drool… don’t expose yourself now. He walks over to stand in front of me and reaches for my camera, setting it down on the foot of his bed. It sinks into the thick, white blanket and we both watch it before locking eyes again. “Show me how you want my boxers.” Grabbing my arms, he places my hands on the top of his briefs. “Excuse me?” He takes my fingers and hooks them into the front of his black briefs. “Pull them down to where you want them. Show me.” This is too much power. Too much power is never a good thing. I gently tug them down a bit, exposing the top of his hipbones. He laughs. “Are you uncomfortable with me being in my boxers?” He pulls me toward him. “Let’s fix that.” Before I know it he’s on his knees, tugging my shorts down my legs. I instantly get embarrassed. “What are you doing?” He grabs my hips and lifts me as he kicks his foot out and pushes my shorts across the floor. “There. Now we’re both in our underwear. Better?” I look down at my black, lacy panties, before looking up to see that he’s biting his bottom lip. Again, he always seems to do that when he shows interest. I feel silly so I start to laugh. “Are you serious?” He reaches for my hands again and practically shoves them into the top of his briefs. “Dead serious.” He flashes his dimples. “Now take control and show me how you want my boxers.” The power behind his demand feeds me and I find myself tugging his black briefs down until the top of his thick shaft is exposed, along with the top part of his muscular ass. He looks down and lifts an eyebrow. “Better.” He hands me my camera before he walks around the side of the bed and tugs the huge blanket off, leaving nothing but a black, silk sheet. I feel oddly confident standing here in my underwear about to photograph America’s sexiest bachelor. I’m not sure if this is a temporary confidence, but it feels good. I’m having fun. I find myself kicking my shoes aside and jumping onto his bed while trying to balance my camera. He smiles up at me as he lies down on his back and adjusts the sheet so that it’s between his legs. Without my direction, he places one hand behind his head and waits for me to start snapping pictures. It seems with each click of the button that his briefs start to get lower and lower, exposing more of his body. Playing it smooth, he flips over onto his stomach. He lowers his briefs until the top half of his ass is exposed. His ass is so round and firm that all I want to do is bite it. My breathing picks up as he slides one arm under his pillow and looks up with a seductive look in his eyes. He must notice my change in breathing, because his eyes meet mine and suddenly he sits up and gets on his knees below me. I’m standing on his bed and he’s just looking up at me with the sexiest face I’ve ever seen. His question surprises me. “Have you ever thought about fucking me?” My saliva thick, I swallow, and let out a nervous laugh. “What?” He reaches for my camera and pulls it out of my hand, before tossing it beside him. Then he grips onto my hips and looks up at me. “Have. You. Ever. Thought. About. Fucking. Me?” He grips my hips harder when I don’t answer him. “Tell me the truth. Please don’t ever lie to me.”
