A note about Piracy

Monday, January 25th, 2010

This notice covers all of my free reads whether written jointly, as part of a group or for Satin Notes – past and any in the future. For my site and Satin Notes, I will have this info posted on my site, and in front of all free reads on my site and those written jointly on the Satin Notes site.

Although I wish this wouldn’t need to be said. I have to say it. It has come to my attention that some free books/reads I have previously posted exclusively to Crenshaw Café, to groups I am part, to my site and Satin Notes are being uploaded/posted on pirate sites. I am not sure why. The free books/reads I post at various places are that free. On some of these pirate sites there are paid memberships and so on. Which means when it trickles down to it you are paying for books that are being offered for absolutely nothing. So with that being said, if any of my free reads/books end up on any of the pirate sites I will have to decide, at my discretion if I will continue to write/post anymore free reads. When books I write, either for free or published for sale, are given away on pirate sites it saddens me that it happens. It especially makes me not want to offer any more books for free. I want to continue too offer free reads as a thank you to readers but this can change if my free reads/books ends up on pirate site. I’m sorry it has come to this but this is how I feel when my books continue to be uploaded/posted to pirate sites.

Further about my book published for sale by my various publishers that are given away on pirate sites. Please stop. I work hard to write these books.

Veronica Gunn is surprised by a call from her good friend. Although she would rather spend the night alone as she had planned, Veronica goes to Club Immortality to meet her friend and her new boyfriend. When she gets to the club she is shocked that an employee party is going on. As she searches the crowd for her friend Veronica opens a door and finds herself in a darkened hallway. Closing herself away from the noise she follows the hall and opens the door to the manager’s office. When she sees no one she turns to leave. A whisper of silk makes her turn and her heart races at the man who detaches from the shadow and stands before her. Harsh need grips her as the man holds up his hand waiting.

Zayne, as the club’s manager of Club Immortality he has had his share of offers but turns them all away. A loner he keeps to himself and has no entanglements. He has retired from the Htrae Elves, a warrior race, a long time ago. Along with his retirement he has given up his need for companionship. Another year alone didn’t matter. Until he feels the woman as she enters the doors of the club. He beckons her to him. When the woman finally comes into his office he sinks into the shadows and watches her. She is sin and temptation but he must have her no matter the cost. Coming out of the shadows he raises his hand and waits to see if this woman would take a sensual journey of silk and shadows.

Can a warrior elf find a naughty partner to ease his loneliness and fulfill his needs.

Open the doors and step inside Club Immortality….

Un-Edited Excerpt:

Veronica knew there must be some reasonable explanation for them floating above the ground, but she couldn’t seem to care. The first sound of his voice curled around her in a warm embrace. Somehow, his voice came across deeper than him speaking in her thoughts. It resonated through her, making her nipples pebble and her pussy spasm.

“Do you want this, Veronica Gunn?” His voice brushed her mind.

She knew then that she’d been wrong. His voice sounded more sensual and intimate in her mind, like a caress across her bare skin. She bit her lip to stifle a whimper. Lost in his gaze, she felt every inch of him against her–his fingers laced with hers, and the sound of silk billowing in the background. She knew what she wanted, and no matter how improbable it sounded that he was an elf, she didn’t care. Need overrode everything else, and Veronica wanted, just for this night, to let go as he’d said.

Yes.”

The sound of silk rippling became louder and more frantic. Zayne said nothing, but the pleasure gleaming in his eyes said it all. Suddenly, she felt the air rush past her, and the feel of silk brushed her skin. Shifting, she purred at the softness pressed against her back. Zayne pressed her hands back against the wall. Silk slid along her wrists. Glancing up, she saw two pieces detach from the billowing silken wall. Softly, they wrapped around her wrists and flowed down her arms. Tugging she realized they held her softly, but firmly. Strangely, she didn’t feel afraid, just extremely sexy. A hard body pressed against hers. Veronica glanced into heated icy green eyes.

Zayne leaned closer to her and covered her lips with his. Veronica stilled, expecting hunger and need. Instead, he made her weak with a tender, sensual kiss that sent her senses into overdrive. His tongue swept along her lips softly, looking for entrance. With a wanton moan she closed her eyes and opened her lips. The stroke of his tongue into her mouth was commanding. The sweet, decadent taste of him rolled over her. His scent filled her, musky and all man.

His hands ran up her arms covered by silk as he caged her between the wall and his hard body. He rubbed against her, the hard ridge of his shaft abrading her skirt. Trying to open her legs wider, she groaned, frustrated, as her skirt stopped her. Her pussy flooded with wetness. With a moan, she pulled with her hands, trying to hold him. The silk held her steady. Suckling his tongue, she growled and nipped him. His groan of approval vibrated through her. He laved his tongue along hers, setting off a pulse of sensation that went all over her body, from head to foot. Moaning harshly, she shifted against him, wanting more. She needed skin against skin. With a murmur, he pulled back. Confused at why he was stopping, she opened her eyes. The hunger in his gaze made her breath catch.

Blurb:
Rosalind Fletcher has a secret. Her one of a kind wedding cakes are infused with a loving spell handed down from mother to daughter for over a century. Her sought after creations are not only being delicious, but rumored to be lucky as well. Producing long-lasting marriages where the men never stray, the women don’t nag and 99.7% never face each other on opposite ends of a court room.

But what happens when her spell falls into the hands of the wrong person? Like Ashley Benedict, notorious playboy and wedding planner extraordinaire who eats a sample meant for his clients? There’s only one thing that can happen. He succumbs to the spells bewitching powers and sets out to charm the pants off of the hardworking sole proprietress of Forever, I Do cakes.

While Rosalind frantically searches for an antidote, she succumbs to Ashley’s lustful appetites. Will guilt push her into finding a successful cure for her bewitched lover, or will her heart allow herself to be locked into a loving relationship with a man who might not really be in love with her.

Excerpt

Ashley shuddered at the first taste of her lips. There was a beguiling sweetness he couldn’t place. Murmuring, he speared his tongue deeper into her mouth, dueling with her tongue, enjoying her taste.

Almonds and roses. She tasted sweet, decadent, and delicious.
He smiled inwardly when she leaned into him, her body fitting against his frame as if they were already lovers. Rosalind might deny she wanted him, but the chemistry they had and the way she kissed him back told the truth. She wanted him as much as he wanted her.

Slowly, he swirled his tongue around the inside of her mouth, then caught her tongue between his teeth. He bit down gently. She hissed, then went limp. Banding his arms around her tighter, he imagined the feel of her hot cunt gripping his cock as he took her hard and long. The thought made him shiver. He’d wanted her for so long. And now he had a taste, he wasn’t letting her go.

Rosalind reveled in the softness of his lips. The hard pressure of his kiss and the slight sting of pain as he bit her tongue made her pussy clench then flood with wetness. She gasped again at the heat of his mouth. Sliding her hands around his neck, she aligned her body with his. The muscular chest she had long ogled whenever he wasn’t looking felt better than she’d imagined.

Oh, man, he’s a good kisser! Rosalind mused as she swirled her tongue in counter motion to his and purred at the feel of his tongue mating with hers. He growled, nipped her tongue, then suckled. A full sensation flooded her pussy. She gasped at the shock of it locking her suddenly weakened knees.

Heat flooded over her tongue, ran down her throat, and burst under the force of her moan. It was like drinking a shot of moonshine — hot, sensual, and straight to the head. Closing her eyes, she held him closer as he ravished and conquered.

Ashley’s groan vibrated against her tongue, driving her already heightened nerve endings into overdrive. With each motion of his firm lips and tongue, her pussy undulated.
