Excerpt: 

 

Drawing her to him, he tilted his head as if to kiss her but cloaked her with softly spoken words that tingled through her core like the musical chimes of church bells. “Let me help you before you actually hurt yourself.” 

“I told you. I’m fine.” Though her body refused to move away from his touch, her words chose the proper course of action, and she added a stern glare to make her point. “I can take care of myself just fine.”

“Really?” His fingertips pushed her hips closer to his. The center of her heat embraced his engorged shaft, adding kindling to the hunger racing through her blood. “I believe every woman needs a good man’s help.”

“Maybe, but an exceptional woman can take care of herself.” If I could only get this damn body of mine to obey me. Though she remembered bracing her hands on his chest, she realized they’d somehow, all on their own, meandered their way around the back of his neck as if encouraging him to satisfy her untamable cravings. His nearness lit every one of her cells with primal lust.

“Really? Can you do this” He brushed the pad of his thumb temptingly across her bottom lip and leaned closer. “Or… this” Her unbridled needs allowed his presumptive yet tentative kiss to brush over her wanton lips. 

Oh my, please give me more. Her groan, meant to sound like resistance, came out more like a lustful moan. Though she braced her palms against his chest to keep him at bay, she leaned brazenly into him. In her heart, she wanted him and needed everything he offered. 

Greedily, she accepted another titillating pass before he seductively claimed her mouth, inspiring the intuitive desire to mate. “I can’t--”

Nibbling on her ear, he whispered, “That’s not what your scent or your body’s saying.” Leaning back but not releasing her from his embrace, he finished, “But if you want me to stop, I will.” 

“Oh, saints be, I’ve lost all control.” Tightening her arms, she closed the circle she already had on his neck and tossed all logic to the wind. Her legs shifted, circled around his waist, and clung to the lifeline of his strength. “Despite it being way too soon and knowing better - I want you.”

Note from Anita: I am currently rewriting my books and plan to re-release a new book each month for the next few years. Welcome to the journey and I hope you join me for this exciting ride.

Saturday Spankings - Annie's gone

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! This is a big weekend for me, not only do I get to share another snippet from Secrets on the River, I was asked to do an interview for AllAuthor! I’ll have that up on Monday if you’d like to come by to read it.

 

In today’s snippet everyone in the family is worried about Annie. Andy turns first to Cassie and Sue, sure that they will know something helpful. But they are as bewildered as he is.

 

“Annie ran away in the middle of the night. Please, if you two know where she is you have to tell us,” Andy begged.

Tom stood beside Cassie as she sank into a chair next to Sue. She glanced at Andy and shook her head. “No. Not Annie. She wouldn’t do that. I don’t understand.”

“She’s right,” Sue added. “Annie’s the good one.”

Andy and Lily grimaced at this statement and exchanged stricken looks. “She left this note,” Andy told them, holding it out.

They read it with the others crowding behind them to read for themselves. “But she is!” Sue cried.

Annie being the ‘good one’ had been a family saying for years. Annie was just the sensible one. She was calm and levelheaded. Cassie and Sue were the wild ones. They loved practical jokes, they loved adventure and living on the edge. When provoked, they could cuss like sailors and fly off the handle or at times drink themselves into a stupor.

But not Annie, never Annie. She was a true lady and conducted herself like one in every situation. Lily often called her ‘my sweet angel’ while often referring to Cassie and Sue as ‘Thelma and Louise’ even though she loved them all with the fierceness of a mother bear.

Blurb:

 

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

 

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Saturday Spanking - The Good One

Welcome to Saturday Spankings and happy December! Today’s snippet comes from Secrets on the River, the second in the On the River series – the third one has been accepted, so be looking for it in the not too distant future.

Of the three ladies who have been friends for more than fifty years, Annie is the good one. Always ladylike, she is quiet and refined. She might be drug along into some of Cassie and Sue more hairbrain plans, but it’s always reluctantly. No one can understand what has her so upset as she yells at Allie and Ryan before running out of the dinner party. Neither Andy nor Lily can get her to talk and they hope all will be better the next day. 

 

Annie’s cries had quieted by the time Andy got ready for bed. He didn’t talk, hoping she was finally relaxed enough to get some sleep. Annie wasn’t sleeping, but she pretended to be. She couldn’t talk to Andy, not about this.  She continued to feign sleep until one-thirty, then slipped silently out of bed. She dressed in the closet without turning on lights. She’d left her car in the driveway and her suitcase had been in it for days. All she had to do was write a note. 

I should have written it before now. Why didn’t I? Because there is no way I can explain anything in a note. She tiptoed back to the bedroom door and looked at Andy with longing.

The desire to wake him and have him hold her, hold her tight and never let go, nearly overwhelmed her. This was going to hurt him deeply. But not as deeply as if she stayed and he learned everything.

It was time to go, now before she lost her nerve. Taking a notecard from the desk, she picked up the pen and wrote quickly. The card was shoved into the envelope and Annie scribbled on the front, To my family. Then she left, driving through the dark night into the unknown.

Excerpt

 

“You can trust me, Jarrett. I won’t tell your parents anything you don’t want me to.” She sighed and stood as well. “You used to tell me everything. We never kept secrets.”

Jarrett paced between the coffee table and fireplace. “My parents’ opinion doesn’t matter. Dad would still throw up my juvie record or the fact that I’m not a cop, even if I was a model citizen. I’m not that lost, angry kid anymore. I know who I am now, and it’s not someone you’d want to know.”

“I disagree.”

“God, you don’t understand. Marissa, I’ve missed you so damn much. I’ve laid awake so many nights wondering what my life would’ve been like if I’d stayed here.” When he made love to other women, he imagined Marissa beneath him or above him, panting his name. When the nightmares of blood and gore faded, he dreamed of her. Those bittersweet memories and what if scenarios were almost worse than the nightmares. “I’ve done things I’m not proud of.”

“I hated you after you left, but I’ve gotten over it. Everyone feels regret and guilt over something. It’s all about being human.” She dashed away her tears. “I told you mine last night. Will you please show me the same courtesy?”

“I can’t.”

“At least tell me what you did last Christmas. Jason made it crystal clear that he didn’t want you alone. He wants you to have a tree.” She pointed at the Douglas fir. “Well, there you go. What did you do last year?”

Jarrett licked his dry lips, heat swelling in his cheeks.

He’d joined the Consuelo gang last December and spent the holiday in a slummy apartment with five thugs who sold cocaine on the streets of Albuquerque. Living around his drug of choice had nearly destroyed him.

“What about your last birthday?” Marissa blocked his path and braced her hands on her hips. “Did you have cake or go out with a bunch of buddies and get drunk? Did something horrible happen? Why won’t you tell me anything?”

He shoved a hand through his hair. “Damn it, Marissa. Yeah, I got drunk. A few of us went to a strip club where I fucked two dancers in a backroom. Is that what you wanted to hear?”

Her eyes widened as she stepped back.

Way to go, you fucking idiot. He brushed his shaky hands on his button-down shirt to steady them. “Marissa—”

She strode past him with a high head and left the room.

Her cold shoulder skewered him, but he didn’t deserve better.
