Sample Sunday!                                                Attractions & Distractions: Sophomore Year

I wish I could put this out like...yesterday! But, I don't want you all to judge me for my grammar errors so editing has to happen first ;/. Until then, enjoy this sample!

Coming March 2015!

I needed her. It had been far too long since the last time we made love. The way our bodies meshed together creating peak after peak of ecstasy was something my body continued to crave and I didn’t plan on going the rest of my life without feeling that again.

I didn’t think twice before I slipped out of bed, letting my feet gently dig into the plush carpet softening the sound of my landing. Opening the door was easy, but closing it would’ve caused too much noise so I left it cracked. I made my way down the stairs as best as my alcohol-induced state allowed me to. I rounded the corner, in hot pursuit of the door leading to the basement. But was stopped dead in my tracks by a familiar voice.

“Little brother, what the hell are you….aww damn.” I didn’t have to say anything for Jordan to catch on to what was happening. He took a deep sigh before he continued his interrogation, “Come on now man. Your girl is literally upstairs sleeping and you're creeping down to the basement? What has gotten into you?” No answer that came to mind sounded the least bit logical. I was clearly trippin’.

Damn vodka shots.

“I don’t get ya’ll man. Ya’ll be checkin’ for each other all day, but entertaining other people. You have a girlfriend literally in the same house, but you're sneaking around in hopes of getting some from her. That shit makes no sense.” She and I had never made any sense. When we did make sense, we were in love, but that was short-lived. It was clear she no longer felt that way.

If she ever felt that way…

“Little brother, are you listening to me? You are fuckin’ up...badly. Get it together.” Jordan was right. I was definitely fuckin’ up. On so many levels. The task of resisting her magnetic pull over me had grew to new heights. And she hadn’t even done anything for me to be that damn attracted to her. In fact, she did everything for me to be the least bit attracted to her. So why wasn’t I taking the bait? Cause I was a fool in love. Even still. But things would have to change for the sake of my sanity.

“You're right bro. I don’t know what got into me besides all that vodka I had.”

“Well you better stop lettin’ vodka write checks ya ass can’t cash.”

Recently, I was given the task of writing an author bio. You would think that would be a simple assignment; we know ourselves best right? But no. So hard. Sooooo hard. So instead of writing a bio right here, right now, I'll just leave this video. You can learn quite a bit about me from watching this little nugget of randomness because well...that's who I am. :)

Happy Sample Sunday!

Here's a little somethin' somethin' from my first book, Attractions & Distractions: Freshman Year, now available on Amazon!

I shrugged off the sheet that was covering me to reveal that I was only in my bra and panties. Not by choice, but I couldn’t find any clothes to put on over it fast enough so I had given up. He licked his lips as he ogled me from head to toe. I felt so sexy under his gaze. He always made me feel sexy. He dropped the pajama pants he was wearing and pulled off his t-shirt, leaving him in only boxer briefs that clung to his muscular thighs. Then, he climbed into bed next to me.

 At first we just laid there, parallel to each other. Then he rolled onto his side so he could actually see me again.

“Lexi…” he whispered my name, stroking my arm ever so gently. Even that innocent ass motion had me fired up.

“You were already the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. But this...my goodness.” I could only hear him; couldn’t see him because I didn’t have the energy to turn my head. He then placed a kiss on my shoulder blade, softly. And another one to my neck, softly. Then another on my cheek, softly. His eyes finally met my only partially opened ones. He was looking for a sign. A green light. So I licked my lips.

It's almost ready!! Here is another Sample from my first book coming February 2015, Attractions & Distractions: Freshman Year.


“I was thinking we could hang out since you’re done with classes...you know, the way friends do.” It sounded corny as hell but it was the best shot I had.

“I already told you. We are not friends.” There was so much attitude oozing from her that it almost seemed impossible for me to breakthrough. But I couldn’t give up. That would’ve been the easy way out and the easy way out had never gotten me anywhere I wanted to be.

“Why not?”

“Cause you’re a liar. And I don’t fuck with liars.” Something about her innocent, good girl look paired with her sometimey potty mouth screamed perfection.

“But I told you the truth. I deserve some credit for that right?” I was being desperate again but I didn’t care. That’s what happens when you have an unexplainable, undeniable attraction to someone. You do what you gotta do and you don’t give a shit about how it comes off.

Here is an excerpt from my very first book (*cheers*), Attractions and Distractions: Freshman Year.
Coming February 2015.

“You know, you’re kinda witty.”

“I’ve heard.”

“It’s sexy as hell.” I tensed all over, but especially in my upper thighs. Something about the way he expressed his attraction, his interest...in me...I couldn’t handle it. Maybe it was the age difference; he made me wanna grow up and be on that level.

“Are we done here?” I had to diffuse the situation fast. But the second it seemed like I was taking control, he made sure I wasn’t. He came back to what I considered my side of the desk, invading the little bit of breathing room I had.

“Do you wanna be?” He bit his bottom lip slowly, looking directly in my eyes. I clenched tighter.

“Yes.” It came out as more of a breath than anything. Surely not confident enough for him to stop his pursuit of me.

“I don’t believe you Alexis. I need you to do better than that.” And then he got closer; close enough to speak directly into my ear. I couldn’t inhale anything but his natural, manly, fiercely intoxicating scent. “Do you really wanna be done here? Or is there..more...we have to talk about?” My chest heaved up and down as I tried to clear my head enough to come up with the right answer.

An answer...that’s what I was working on right?

“I...I think we’re done here.” He repelled. And I was thankful to be able to breath again.
