UGH!

OKay, I’ve worked in bars and restaurants for more than 15 years. I’ve dealt with a lot of things and been exposed to alot of drugs. I know POT when I smell it, and let me tell you, I smell it now.

About two months ago some new people moved in next door to me (I live in a small condo complex). At first it was their screaming kid that annoyed me, but I never complained. When their kid got loud, my music got loud so I could drown him out. But lately, it’s the smell that’s been bothering me. It’s pot. And it’s seeping into my apartment through the wall. Of course, the wall I share with them is the wall my computer is up against, so it bothers me while surfing –er…writing.

Despite the fact that when the pot smell is heavy, the kid is quiet…I actually phoned and complained to the building manager this time. I HATE complaining, but it’s pretty raunchy, and it’s completely embarassing when people come to visit. It’s like I live in a dump despite the fact that it’s a very nicely renovated building..

28738

After easing away from the warmth of your body I climb from the bed, stifling a soft moan at the soreness caused by last last nights pleasure. My eyes drift closed in an effort to stop myself from looking down at you in your sleep, but I can’t do it. I can’t walk away without one last look.

With a deep breath that fills my head with the scent of sex I peek at you, soft and gentle, cradled amidst the rumpled sheets, and feel the soreness drift away. My blood heats and my bones melt under the memory of you, above me, in me, filling me up in a way you’ve never done before. My sex throbs and my juices start to flow in anticapation.

I lift my foot to step away, only to find myself moving closer. I close my eyes once again, shutting out the vision of you in my bed, and turn. It’s only for a few hours, our seperation, but it hurts. The only thing that makes me strong enough to walk away, is the fact that I know when I return, you will no longer be soft… or gentle. You will be hungry for me, and I will be willing to do anything to appease that hunger, for feeding you is what pleases me.

An Education I could really go for!

Teague made a sound, low and deep in his throat that reminded her of a cougar. Feline, primitive and raw.

An answering feminine creature within her howled.

He grabbed her and was in the dark of the linen closet before she could blink.

“Teague?”

“Shhhhh…” His hands cupped her cheeks and his thumbs ran across her lips. The familiar quality to it heightened the experience.

His hands moved to her shoulders and down her arms until his hands grasped her hands. He laced his fingers with hers and pulled him flush against his body.

She let out a shaky breath and opened her mouth to ask a question when his hot mouth descended on her. There were no gentle kisses this time. It was raw masculinity at its very finest. His tongue plundered into her mouth even as he backed her up against the shelves. She could smell the starch Eppie had put on the sheets and she could smell Teague.

His mouth was insistent as it was strong. She kissed back as best she could. Her heart hammered in her chest, pressed against him, she could feel his heart and they were nearly in tune with each other. He groaned and pressed his hardness into her softness.

His erection felt like a log it was so firm. She found herself grinding against him in small circles. Much to her delight, pleasure began to radiate out from the contact until her mons became wet with need. Her nipples were aching points of desire that rubbed against his rock hard chest.

It was a cacophony of senses that nearly overwhelmed her. She wondered what she’d do when they were naked. The very thought made her groan loudly.

“Shhhhh…” he said again.

He lapped at the inside of her mouth like a cat with a bowl of cream. Like she was delicious and he couldn’t get enough of a treat.

Her breath caught in her chest like a fluttering bird trying to get out. She felt like she was drowning, gasping with pleasure as intense as anything she’d ever felt.

He finally let her mouth go and pressed his forehead against hers. His breath rasped out and flew into her mouth. She breathed him in even as her own breath filled his mouth. She felt dizzy and so out of control of her own body.

She loved every second of it.

“Jesus Christ, Maddie.”

“I think… I’m going to enjoy these lessons. Lesson number one was… stimulating.”

The Education of Madeline is released today! I can vouch for this book since it’s by mybuddy Beth. I got to read it already. *grin* If you like big handsome hero’s, that need some fixin, but are true hero’s inside, you need to read this book! Read the rest of the excerpt Here

Itchy Feet

A friend of mine is back in South Africa. This particular friend was there when I was there, her name is Liza, and she’s from Italy. She was one of my best friends when I was there, and we’ve kept in touch. In fact, a year and a half ago when I met up with Anna in Greece, Liza was supposed to meet us too. (All three of us lived and worked at Buccaneers Backpackers together) I’m so very jealous right now thatshe’s back at Buccaneers, partying and working. She’s only going to be there for a month, then she’s sailing for the summer season (she works on a boat) then she’s going back to S.A in October for good.

My feet are itchy and my heart is yearning to fill up my backpack and head out again. I have a laptop, I could write and travel.

Soon, I just might have to take off again.

At the very least I’ll have to scan some of the photos from there in so you can all see what life was like for us there, and why it’s a place that still calls to me. I’ll try to do that this week.

Must Read

Ocassionally I tell you all about good books I’ve read. This time I’m going to tell you about a GREAT one.

Honestly.I picked up HELL KAT because a friend of mine wrote it and I wanted to show some support. I’d read excerpts already, and I knew it would be good, but really, I had NO IDEA how fantstic it was.
In my opinion, it’s not really a romance, although there is definite romantic elements. It also has some very hot erotic scenes, yet I wouldn’t really place it in the erotica genre.

Personally, I’d place it in the Best Seller Genre.

Full of adventure, mutli-dimensional characters, and emotion, it hooked me from the first page and never let go. It was a race to get to the end, to see what would happen next , but when I got to the final page it was so good I didn’t want it to be the end. The only thing that gave me comfort was the fact that I know there’s a sequel, INFERNO.

This story has is all, and promises so much more. Pick it up today, and don’t open it until you have a whole day to yourself because you will not want to put it down.

My Color Profile.

A friend sent me this Colorgenics thing. You pick the colors you feel an affinity to, in the order you like them best, and it gives you a profile. It’s pretty long so I won’t post the whole thing, but here’s some of what it said… and the FIRST thing it said..

“You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go ’somewhere’ else to perhaps experience that little extra ‘understanding’.

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realisation of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that ‘True love is just around the corner’ and - if you haven’t found it as yet - you possibly soon will.”

Hmmm remember the post just a couple days ago about the guy..and dating… uh huh…
It also said…
“You are holding back. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of ‘total surrender’. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence ‘you need to be needed’ and at the same time ‘you need to need’.”

Pretty accurate. Except I don’t know about the air of superiority. I don’t think I have one of those, I certainly don’t want one. LOL I do think I fight my instincts, and I do think I ‘need to be needed’.

Pretty cool stuff…check your own profile HERE

Books and stuff…

The first review fro The Petshani is in. Denise form Gotta Write says…
“THE PETSHANI has the makings of a wonderful novel if White could make that kind of commitment. Her creative imagery is white hot and demands your attention. Her characters are dimensional even in so few pages. “

Commitment?

OKay, so commitment isn’t my strong suit, but I do have to say that short stories is where my fiction career started, and although I write novellas and novels, I’ll still always do short stories. I think of someof them, (like The Petshani) as a mini series vs a movie. One that I’ll eventually write more installments (sequels) for.

But she liked the imagery…and thought it was hot. White Hot to be exact. I like it.

And, I have a new Interview up at Fallen Angel Reviews for anyone interested.

Why am I still single?

I get asked this question a lot. I’m not sure if it’s my age, or what…but I don’t quite get why it’s such a big deal. On the other hand, I ask myself this occasionally too. And I wonder if it’s because I’m selfish. I do like things to be done my way. I’ve lived alone for so long I’m not sure I could ever share space with someone. My cat is trial enough!

It would be nice to have somone. I think. But, it always comes down to that “I’m not willing to settle” thing. The other night I had conversation with a guy I’ve known for about 4 years. He was married when we met, and when he divorced we fooled around a bit. We became “bed buddies”. Friends that sleep together occasionally. More friends than lovers though. I admit, I never wanted anything more from him than that. But over the last 4 years I’ve watched him, date for about a month, fall in love, then fall out of love, then date, now he’s in love again. And not once in the four years, did it occur to him that I might want more.

You see, over time, I realized what a nice guy he is. Truly a nice guy. And while I never fell hard for him, I would’ve been very interested in dating him, and seeing how things went. But, despite the fact that every time HE asked me why I was still single and I answered with “Guys just don’t ask me out.” He never got the hint. HE never asked me out.

So, when he called the other night to chat, I knew either he was a) horny or b) in love with someone else. It was B. He wanted to tell me about this wonderful woman. I asked him why in his “dating times” he never asked me out. his reply. “Honestly, it never occurred to me.”

That sort of hurt.

Yeah, I could’ve asked him out. And I did, very casually a couple of times, but he always said no, (Or never replied to my email). He thought of me as a friend. I could’ve been more obvious. I know this too. And he probably would’ve said yes. However, I’d like a man who looks at me and wants me. One that looks and me and wants to ask me out. Not one that it never occurs to unless I do it.

Have I asked guys out before? Yup. When I feel a strong attraction and he hasn’t stepped up, I will. But not a guy that I’ve known for years, and been over looked by. I’m not sure why I’m blabbing about this. I’m not upset, or even more than a touch hurt that he didn’t see me as more than a friend and occassional bedmate. I think I’m talking about it because I’m Not that hurt by it. I guess I sort of wonder if I’m getting a bit too emotionally closed off. I don’t want to be that way, but at times, it does feel so.

And am I strange in the way that I often feel it’s easier to spill my guts on here than to tell a day-to -day friend in person??
