“The Devil Inside”
Workaholic Caleb Mann used to think blind dates were a waste of time, but when his ex-girlfriend calls him boring in bed, Caleb becomes bent on changing his image fast.

From THE DEVIL INSIDE:
She’d surprised him.
Not many people could do that.
Caleb wasn’t sure what he expected when they left the coffee shop. But this wasn’t it. When he watched her swing a slender leg over the seat of a sexy little crotch-rocket of a motorcycle, leaving her thighs almost completely bare, it had never entered his mind that they would end up in a gay bar.
Not that he minded. He didn’t judge people by their sexual preference. It just wasn’t somewhere he would’ve thought to take a woman he hoped to get intimate with.
A quick glance around the dark room made him reconsider. It was early and bar wasn’t full, but it was busy enough. Yet no one bothered them, or even gave them a second look.
There were same sex couples, male and female, lounging on various sofas surrounding the room’s perimeter, a small group of young men stationed in front of the bar, and a male couple on the dance floor swaying back and forth in each other’s arms.
When he really thought about it, it was the perfect place to get to know someone. Everyone there was intent on doing his or her own thing. No one would bother them.
With his back to the wall, he had a clear view of the room, and of Tina’s antics. They’d been playing pool for almost two hours, and despite the fact that he’d been in a constant state of semi-arousal through it all, he’d learned some pretty interesting things about her.
In fact, she fascinated him.
“You mean to tell me that you work at the coffee shop, making sandwiches and lattes for people every day, when you could easily support yourself with your illustrations?” It didn’t make sense to him. He could tell by the tone of her voice when she talked about her art that she loved painting, so why would she want to work in a café when she could make a living doing what she loved?
Her lush breast brushed against his arm as she reached past him for the cube of chalk on the edge of the table, heating his blood up another degree. He wondered if she was deliberately trying to drive him insane with lust, but the innocent look on her face as she chalked her stick made it hard to tell.
“My artwork pays nicely, but if I devoted myself to it entirely, I could easily become a hermit. Working in the cafe lets me deal with real people without getting too close to them.”
“You don’t like getting close to people?” He watched as she strolled to the end of the table and lined up her shot.
She bent over at the waist and he got an eyeful of plump womanly flesh cupped lovingly in fire engine red satin. “I love getting close to the right people,” she said in a husky voice.
Swallowing hard, he dragged his gaze from her cleavage to her delicate face. The devilish glint in her dark eyes left no doubt in his mind that he could be one of the lucky ones. One of the people she might get real close to.
Unsure of how to handle such blatant flirting, he focused his attention on the pool table, and mentioned his love for his own work. Flirting was one of those things he just never got get the hang of. It was too much of an iffy thing, a grey area that was always open to interpretation. He preferred to deal in things that were solid … black and white only.
Tina’s lips twitched up on one side but she didn’t say anything, she just let the conversation move on, and continued to kick his ass at pool.
It wasn’t surprising she was winning. Watching her bend and stretch over the green felt that somehow reminded him of his bed was much more distracting than playing with one of the guys. Yet he felt like he was getting to know her better than he ever could while sitting across from her at a dinner table.
“So you enjoy working with your hands then?” she asked in reference to his comment about preferring to work with his crew instead of just supervising. The comment itself wasn’t sexual. But to his fogged brain, everything she said and did had sexual connotations. He was having a hard time being the gentleman he prided himself on being.
Thoughts of getting to know her better in any but the physical sense disappeared as she stretched a bit further to line up another shot and her skirt rose another inch. Half an inch more and he’d know what color her panties were. Or if she even had any on. Which he didn’t think she did.
In his mind’s-eye, he undid the zipper of his jeans and stepped up behind her. Lifting her skirt that final bit, he’d thrust into her from behind. She would grip the edge of the pool table and push back against him. No one would even notice if they were quiet.
Ungluing his gaze from her legs, and the temptation they represented, he shifted his stance. He glanced around the bar in an effort to distract his mind and keep his zipper from splitting.
What’s going on? He’d never had a problem with control before. Somehow, Tina’s body called out to the caveman in him, and his baser urges were fast erasing his common sense. Along with his ability to hold a decent conversation. What had they been talking about?
He watched the cue stick slid through her purple tipped fingers and bit back a groan. Hands, she’d asked if he liked to work with his hands.
“Yeah,” he tried desperately to get his mind back on topic. “There are few things as satisfying as looking at a completed project, and knowing you built it with your own two hands.”
He’d never fantasized about sex in public before. Hell, he’d never even had sex anywhere other than a bed. He and his brother had been raised to treat women like ladies. He wined and dined them if he wanted to get to know them. And unlike his brother Gabriel, he always got to know them before going to bed with them.
A lightning bolt of realization hit him between the eyes and he groaned softly. His head fell back, thunking against the wall, and his eyes slid closed in misery.
Shit! He was a boring lover.
“What’s wrong?”
Her small hand burned through his shirt, leaving an imprint right over his pounding heart. He straightened up, praying that she couldn’t read his mind, and looked down at the sex kitten standing in front of him. A party girl his wild younger brother had set him up with. Did he really think he could please her?
She cocked her head to the side and studied him for a minute. A flame flickered to life in the depths of her dark eyes. Her full lips slowly tilted into a naughty smile. Without another word, she stepped closer, brushing her body against his, her breath dancing across his chin.
Regret fought with desire as her hand slid around his neck and she pulled his head closer to hers. She didn’t know what sort of a letdown she was setting herself up for. Her tongue darted out, and he watched it teasingly wet her lips before they pressed softly against his.
All thoughts ceased. She leaned her body against him fully and nudged his lips apart with the tip of her tongue. Determined to shake his insecurities, he dove into the kiss. Thrusting his hands into her silky hair, he gave into his lust.
He needed this. Needed to feel the hot eagerness of a woman against him, sighing in pleasure and wanting only him. Tongues tangled and heat burned through veins.
A deep groan formed in his chest and he tore his mouth away from her as she boldly rubbed against him. Burying his face in the curve of her neck, he nipped at the soft skin there. He tasted her flavor and let his hands roam greedily over her curves.
He spread his thighs, pulled her tight against him and felt her press against the ache of his confined cock. Unfortunately, the eager gyrating of her hips only encouraged him to lose control.
The abundance of her rounded ass filled his hands while he held her still and thrust against her soft warmth. Her sharp teeth nipped his earlobe just before he trailed his lips across her collarbone and down to the swell of her breasts. He couldn’t get enough.
Closer, he needed to get closer. Her clothing was in the way. He inhaled deeply of her sweet scent before nudging aside the hem of her shirt in search of bare flesh.
A distinct pain bit into his skull and his head was pulled back sharply.
“Down boy, we don’t want to get arrested now, do we?”
Tina’s husky voice brought him back to reality with a shudder. She was breathing as heavily as he was, and her fingers stroked soothingly through the hair at the nape of his neck. The hair she’d pulled to get him to back off.
A groan escaped from him and he closed his eyes against the truth of it. If she hadn’t stopped him he didn’t think he would’ve stopped. How was he ever going to make her pant and beg and call out his name, if he couldn’t even control himself in public?

My birthday was wonderful. Thank you everyone for the well wishes!
Then, as is par for the course, after a few really good days, a few really bad days followed.
Not bad as in I’m hurt. But bad as in , Super ass-kicking busy at work (but I made really good money), and fighting a cold. And Bad as in, I lost a very important file on my computer. (as in the final finished copy of my last book) 
And normally I not only have the file on my USB stick (so I can work on desktop and laptop) but I try to stay in the habit of emailing myself the files, so I have a back up. No idea why I didn’t do it this time. I did email to my editor and agent, but my agent said the file never went through, and I’ve not heard back from the editor, so I’m thinking it’s gone.
But…honestly, after my first attack of “Oh, Shit!” Then a lot of “No, no, nooooo. This can’t be happening.” Then there were a few tears, and some effort to not pick up my computer and throw it across the room. Anyway, after that, I came to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason. Because I often have ten files of “work” for each story before I create the final file I sent in, I do have a file that it almost completely done. It’s about 70 pages short.
You see, one thing *I* think I really have going for me as an author is Voice. I never went to school for writing, and I often fall asleep when I take workshops or try to read craft books. I’m not a technical writer. (And if you read my blog often, you know I mostly suck at typing as well as grammar.) But I do think my voice is strong, because I believe in my characters, and in my stories. However, this last one, I really really wanted it to be super good. Not that I don’t want all of my books to be good, but I want each one to be better than the last. i want to grow and learn and keep getting better…right? So, I think I might’ve done what I always tell others not to do. I think maybe I over-edited it. I asked for more time to finish so I could really polish and write it perfectly – completely forgetting that a perfect book isn’t always a good story. So Maybe, just maybe, the reason I lost the final file and have to rewrite the last 70 pages or so, is because what I had wasn’t what should be.
Make sense?
Anyway, I’ll be rewriting the end to my book now, so I won’t be around for a few more days.
TO ME! 
LOL. I’m 38. Hard for me to believe most of the time. But it’s true.
If you want to give me a present, then just run to your closest bookstore and buy one of my books. Any one will do,I’m not fussy. Then read it, and ENJOY IT!
I think most of y’all will agree that one of the best feelings in the world is knowing you made someone smile,and I’m hoping one of my stories will do that for you. I know they often make ME smile. LOL I had a wonderful day and night yesterday, celebrating a day early, so I can recover today. Maybe I’ll give some details in another post. Later. lol
For a little fun surfing…check out the review of SEXY DEVIL over at The Good, The Bad, and the Unread.

Monday, November 19th, Scorpio Horoscope
Your creative side is energized right now, so much so that you may decide to block out some time to make art or write. If you already do that regularly, it could be time to begin some new epic work.
Hmmm, what should I work on today? 
Hey everyone, Just wanted to stop in and say I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately. I’m working hard on a couple of things, as well as getting ready for Christmas. Yep. I want to get everything done in November so I can avoid all the December craziness at the stores and such. Plus, I’ve let my diet slip so bad that I’m sort of gearing up to get down to it again. LOL
I wish I had some news or something interesting to share, but I really don’t. Maybe soon, I’ll share some adventures.
My Birthday is coming up soon…
SEXY DEVIL is shipping from Barnes and Noble now! That’s cool. It’s a couple of weeks early, but there you go. And in December I’ll start writing the sequel. Right now it’s just sort of floating around in the back of my mind… among many things. 
A friend emailed me this link and I just had to share.
For all of you out there who have cats…you’ll kill yourself laughing. It’s like a training video they must get at birth or something. (Make sure the sound is Up.)
Thanks to Amie for sending me these….
