I walked in with trepidation and found myself in a small foyer. I wasn’t sure if I really believed his claim of also not being ready to sleep with me either. A man this hot could get anyone he wanted, and whenever he wanted to. He was hot tonight. He was wearing a dark turquoise guayabera with black 501s and huaraches. He had a silver chain around his neck.

Six Sentence Sunday, 10/7/12

Here are six sentences from my novel, "Out of the Past," available now from Seventh Window Publications.

He led me into the bedroom, which was lit only by the soft glow of cedar and pine scented candles. He embraced me again, and tenderly kissed my face, my forehead, my eyes, my cheeks my mouth, while caressing my back. My heart pounded, my breathing became shallow, and my knees weakened. 

Stepping back, he slowly began to unbutton my shirt, all the while kissing me. He slipped his hand into my shirt and ran his hand over my chest. I shuddered with pleasure when his hand found my nipple ring.

Six Sentence Sunday, 9/30/12

Here are six more sentences from my upcoming novel, "Out of the Past," scheduled for release on October 1, 2012, from Seventh Window Publications.

I drove to his place, which turned out to be a townhouse, found a parking spot, and walked up to the door. As I went to ring the bell I hesitated. The butterflies were now flapping their wings violently against the sides of my stomach. Yet, even with the butterflies there was still something unknown urging me onward. Gina and Reggie were right; I didn’t have anything to lose at this point. The doorbell rang; it seemed some invisible hand had pressed my own hand forward to ring it.

Six Sentence Sunday 9/23/12

Here are another six sentences (slightly modified) from my upcoming novel, "Out of the Past" coming in October 2012 from Seventh Window Publications.

The bell was about to ring and Gina and I needed to get supplies for our afternoon lessons.  She and I had spent hours talking about my potential coffee date, which now was real.  Gina had pushed me into meeting Mr.-Hot-Attorney, and now he had a name, Javier Villalobo.  And now I was getting anxious; was he going to call? Did I not impress him? Now that we actually had met what had I done wrong to scare him off?
