Hot & Humorous Excerpt

Humor and quirky characters aren’t what I’m known for writing. They’ve never been anything I’ve tried to inject into my stories either. I lean toward an edgy contemporary style. Yet, the heroine in my novella NO ANGEL is edgy, and slightly quirky. and when her and the hero get together, there is humor…my way.

I never planned this, it’s all them…but I admit to laughing out loud as I wrote it, and loving them. I hope you enjoy it too.

Most Wanted“No Angel”
Anna Blair looks sweet and innocent, but playboy Gabriel Mann discovers she’s far from it. Mess with her and she’ll mess right back. And that’s just the way he likes it—down and dirty carnal pleasure that keeps him coming back for more…

Safety always being her first concern, Anna wouldn’t normally bring anyone back to her hotel, but this time her impatient nature was getting the best of her. Plus, she’d scanned his energy with her second sight and his bright green vibe was all smooth and happy. The guy didn’t have an evil bone in his body.
There’d been no hesitation in her when she’d climbed into his truck and directed him down Bernard and across two more streets to her motel room. It wasn’t the Ritz, but it was cheap, close to downtown and only a block away from the waterfront.
She used the old fashioned metal key to open the door and ushered him in. Surprisingly, he took charge immediately. He pulled her to him and kissed her so passionately she was ready to burn the clothes off his body.
Large masculine hands ran down her back and cupped her ass, lifting and pulling her tight against him. Wrapping her arms around his neck she trusted him to take her weight as she lifted her legs and wound them around his waist. Their tongues dueled and she rubbed her hungry sex against the massive hard-on she felt behind his zipper.
His fingers dug into her butt and he dragged his mouth out from under hers. “Bed,” he panted, as he stumbled a few steps into the room and fell forward onto the queen sized mattress.
They bounced and an inelegant oof! flew from her lips. Her bruised backside throbbed but she quickly forgot about that as his body rubbed against hers in all the right places.
“Sorry” he muttered as his hands reached down and shoved her hoodie out of the way.
He grabbed the hem of her tank top and swept it roughly over her head. She laughed, delighted to find a man who wasn’t scared to get a little rough with her.
“Don’t apologize,” she said, panting and reaching for the hem of his T-shirt, matching his eagerness as she pulled it over his head. “Just fuck me.”
Gabe hesitated when he unsnapped her cargo pants and discovered the weapons halter snapped low around her hips and belly.
“A girdle?” he asked, eyebrows almost hidden by his hairline.
She laughed and ripped the snaps open. Arching her back she tugged the harness out from under her while he was distracted by the naked breasts she’d shoved into his face. He sucked a nipple between his lips and she gasped, dropping the weapons to the floor next to the bed before going back to work on his pants.
Their arms tangled as clothes were shoved aside as much as possible.
When both their pants were around their ankles she raked her nails over the firm butt she’d admired earlier. “Condom,” she said on a gasp as the head of his cock brushed against her slick sex.
He growled and she laughed as he made an awkward reach for the pants still around his ankles, and rolled right off the bed!
“Fuck!” he cursed.
“Well, we’re certainly trying,” she said as she sat up and looked down at him. Mostly naked he looked both adorable and ridiculously sexy at the same time.
He dug in his pants pocket before he toed off his boots, shoved his pants off his feet, and stood up triumphantly.
“Socks,” she said, staring at the thick cock bobbing in front of her face. Maybe it was because his hips were so slim, but damn he looked big. Big and red and juicy. She licked her lips and he groaned. “No, don’t look at it like that or we’re going to be done before we start.”
He bent forward hiding himself from her view as he got rid of his socks. “Your turn now,” he muttered.
She lay back on her elbows and giggled as he struggled to untie her boots. Then in one big flourish he pulled her pants and panties free and threw them on the floor before kneeling on the bed between her legs and rolling the condom on smoothly.
“My socks,” she said.
“I don’t care about your damn socks,” he growled. He came down on top of her, smoothly fitting his hips into the cradle of hers. His fingers skimmed over her pussy lips and suddenly she didn’t care about her socks either.
He pressed a couple of fingers into her sex and she arched against them eagerly. “More,” she demanded.
“You want more,” he said pulling his fingers out. “You got it.”
With one swift and sure stroke he filled her. She dug her feet into the mattress and arched into him with a moan. Their joking stopped as Gabe braced himself on his elbows and began to fuck her. His hips pumped steadily in a strong smooth rhythm and she happily dug her nails into his ass to help him along.
He buried his head in her neck, his hot breath sending shivers through her body as she moved with him. In and out his cock went, stretching her to the point that her sex burned with need. Her moans blended with his grunts as they worked up a sweat, straining to get closer.
Closer and closer she got to cumming, her body getting tighter and tighter. “Faster,” she commanded, digging her nails in.
Everything in her focused on the point of their connection. He picked up the pace, going faster, harder, deeper until he was hitting the sweet spot and her cunt started to ripple with pleasure. “Yes!”
“That’s it, baby. Come for me. Come for me.” He slammed into her and ground his groin against her, rubbing her clit and sending her off into spasms of pleasure as the world exploded into ribbons of color in her minds eyes.
She was vaguely aware of him throwing back his head and arching into her as his triumphant shout of pleasure blended with her cries.
Limp with satisfaction, she let her hands fall back to the bed and he collapsed on top of her. She couldn’t bite back the cry of pain as she was sharply reminded of her earlier butt kicking.
“Sorry,” he muttered and rolled off her. He lay beside her as they both fought to suck air back into their lungs. “You okay?”
“Oh, yeah,” she said. “Very okay.”
“Christ, your hot,” he said.
“I appreciate the thought,” she said. “But please don’t say His name like that.”
Gabe turned his head and looked at her. “Huh?”
“Don’t use the Lord’s name in vain.”
His eyes widened and she once again thought how pretty they were. Before he could say anything else she rolled onto her side and stroked hand down over his sculpted chest.
“That was good,” she said. “Will you fuck me again?”

What’s up?

So I’mbeing a bad blogger. or a lazy blogger. I’m not around much, but I’ll keep posting news occasionally, and some small tidbits. I can;t help it, I can’t stay away from you guys.

For today, Agent Laura Bradford is a guest at the Genreality blog.

Most recently I’ve been working on photography a lot, you can see what I’m up to by following my Photostream on Flickr.

The laptop I won from one of the raffle sin the Branda Novak Auction arrived, and I’m using it only for writing. No internet, no photography. And of course it’s all new and shiny so I’m eager to play on it. I mean write on it. I’ll be bringing it with me to Seattle next week on my writers retreat, and plan to get a lot done.

What’s up with you?

Fun in the Sun

One of the many things I gave up when I started writing full time a couple of years ago was hanging out with friends and taking part in events and outings. The last few months I’ve made a concentrated effort to try and have a life away from my “Sasha” things, yet I still want to share with you all.

We had a staff event held together with another store on the weekend and I took a ton of pictures. Take a look.

Snippet Saturday

First Physical Touch for the characters is the theme for today.

I chose this scene from one of the stories in SEXY DEVIL. One of my favorites. WIld Child psychic Gina takes her straight-laced date to a gay bar to shoot some pool. Oh, and I should mention that he calls her Tina because it’s sort of a mistaken identity thing that she decided to take advantage of.

snippetsaturday-300x87jpg

Sexy Devil

No one can resist the spell of a …SEXY DEVIL
Surrender to Sasha White’s sensual world, where red-hot passions simmer—and desires are unleashed with sinfully wicked pleasure…

“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. And fast is what he gets when he barely knows his date’s name, but he can’t stop fantasizing about replacing the sleek motorcycle between her firm thighs and letting her ride him all night long…

“Devil’s Jewel”
Ex-soldier and psychic hunter Angelo Devlin has seen evil first-hand. He knows how perilous his assignments can be, and he doesn’t welcome outside help, which makes his run-in with Jewel Kattalis all the more infuriating. But instead of sending her away, he wants to grab her, take her, and tease every inch of her beautiful body. This woman may be more dangerous than any mission he’s ever been on before…

* * * * *

“SEXY DEVIL is hot as hell, with heroes to die for and heroines who are more than their match. For blazingly erotic romance marked by strong, sexy characterization, Sasha White never disappoints!”
— Meljean Brook, author of Demon Moon

“SEXY DEVIL … This book flows along smoothly from one story to another with well written characters that are easy to like with their charismatic ways. The touch of paranormal adds a little more intrigue that goes perfectly with the sizzling hot love scenes that will give you visions of your own!”
— Recommended Read From Fallen Angel Reviews.

“SEXY DEVIL is smart, sassy, and oh so sexy. It’s fast-paced and has intriguing paranormal elements, interwoven with spine-tingling suspense. If you like erotic paranormal romances, you’ll love SEXY DEVIL. Sasha White writes with amazing energy and a “joie de vivre” that engages the reader, and makes it impossible to put her books down. A talented, entertaining author!”-Catherine Spangler, National Bestselling Author of Touched by Fire

Snippet (It’s a long one)

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 the bar wasn’t full, but it was busy enough. Yet, no one bothered them. No one even gave them a second look.
Couples, of all combinations, lounged on the various sofas surrounding the room’s perimeter. A small group of young guys were stationed in front of the bar, and a male couple was on the dance floor, swaying back and forth in each other’s arms.
He thought about it, and excitement pushed past his apprehension. It was the perfect place to get to know someone. Everyone there was so intent on doing his or her own thing that none paid them any mind. He wasn’t the boss, or the big brother to anyone in that bar, and that was surprisingly freeing.
Especially considering where his thoughts were taking him. 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 it, so why would she want to work in a café when she could make a living doing what she loved?
A 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. Was she was deliberately trying to drive him insane with lust?
She continued to stroll around the table looking for her next shot as she talked. “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?”
“I love getting close to the right people,” she said in a husky voice that made his cock swell. She bent over to take her shot, and he got an eyeful of plump womanly flesh cupped lovingly in fire engine red satin.
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 if he played his cards right, he could be one of the lucky ones. One of the ones she got real close to.
Tina was different than any other woman he’d every gone out with. No, not different, more. More sexual, more flirtatious, and more unpredictable.
More woman.
Flirting was one of those things he’d just never gotten 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.
Unsure of how to handle such blatant flirting without being a complete idiot, he ignored it. “Aspects of construction are like that too. I deal with clients if I have to, but I prefer to leave that side of things to my brother. He’s the smooth talking salesman of the family.”
Tina’s lips twitched up on one side but she didn’t say anything about his lack of response to her flirting. 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 last 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’d always prided himself on being.
Thoughts of getting to know her better in any way but the physical 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 – 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’d grip the edge of the pool table and push back against him. If they were quiet, no one would even notice.
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, but it didn’t help much.
What the hell? He’d never had a problem with control before. Tina’s body was calling 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 slide 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 in 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.
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 and looked down at the sex kitten standing in front of him. A party girl his wild younger brother had set him up with. What the hell had he been thinking? He couldn’t please her!
Tina 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 tilting into a naughty smile.
Without another word, she stepped closer, her body brushing against his as her breath danced across his chin. His pulse jumped and regret fought with desire as her hand slid around his neck and pulled his head down. 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 and all thought ceased. She leaned her body against him fully, nudging his lips apart with the tip of her tongue. Determined to shake his insecurities, he thrust his hands into her silky hair and dove wholeheartedly into the kiss.
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 as she boldly rubbed against him. Burying his face in the curve of her neck, he nipped at the soft skin there and tasted her flavor as his hands roamed greedily over her curves.
He spread his thighs, pulled her tight against him and she pressed 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 same hair she’d pulled to get him to back off.
A groan escaped and 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?

genreality-buttonIt’s Wednesday, and I’ve got nothing newsworthy to share with you, aside from the fact that my group blog, Genreality, is hosting our first guest today. If you’re a writer you might want to go visit and see what Agent Jenny Bent has to share with us today.

Tomorrow is thursday, so I’ll be posting over there, and I’ll be back here later in the week.

If there’s anyone out there I owe prizes to from any giveaways, please know they are on their way, I finally got to the post office today, and dropped off a huge pile of packages to be shipped. Which reminds me that I need to pick winners for the last DOnate and Win prize don’t I?

So cute.

Scarlet is a cat I adopted from the shelter. When I first got her, despite being a mom, she was skinny and pretty skittish. I’ve had her a year and a half now, and she’s totally comfortable here and super affectionate… and I think she’s fattened up nicely.

What do you think?
