Let’s face it—writing sexual chemistry
between two characters is hard. Getting a heroine on the same wavelength as her
mate is tough work. Finding that special rhythm between lovemaking and everyday
life sometimes leaves our characters feeling like failures. Add a third partner
and the delicate balance is sometimes wrecked.
Today’s savvy readers know a good story
when they read one. They understand when emotion is absent or too much gushing
is going on (errr…literally!). They also know when the characters aren’t
“feeling it” in the bedroom. With that said, an author’s work is really cut out
for her! So how do we achieve sexual chemistry?
As with the lovemaking that isn’t
between two pages, chemistry begins long before the characters enter the
bedroom. Foreplay is sometimes involved, yes, and oh, what fun it is! But I’m
talking about the little things—the nuances that make people fall in love in
the first place. Winks, caresses, awareness.
I could stop there, but sexual chemistry
runs so much deeper on screen and in real life. Things like your lover’s
personal scents—musk, leather, vanilla, and mint to name a few. Also the
character’s preferences for physical traits. Does he love plump thighs? Full
hips? Or does he love the knobs on the heroine’s spine? All these little things
drive the characters into each other’s arms.
If the characters aren’t lusting for
each other from very early on, chances are the book will fall flat and you’ll
decide to shut off your e-reader with thoughts of doing that important load of
laundry. Because even if the characters fight like hell, they must yearn for
each other on a very primal level. That’s chemistry, and it keeps the readers
turning pages and ignoring their laundry for as long as possible. With every
book I write, I strive to create characters that drag the readers from their
duties and enjoying the passions life holds… and helping them realize Mt. St.
Laundry isn’t going anywhere!
Come see if my characters like to play!
Read on for a very naughty excerpt of my latest release Outlaws of Love, available from Loose Id!
Upon traveling west to marry, Annabelle Stephens
longed to leave her nickname of Sweetheart Annie and the strict rules of Boston
society behind, but the taboo freedom she faces wasn’t exactly what she had in
mind. When a sexy outlaw storms into her rented room and kidnaps her, she’s
embroiled in a dangerous game with not one man, but two.
Until now Xander Hollis wanted one
thing—or maybe two—to stop the Southern Gorge Railroad from stealing the
homesteaders’ land, and to act on his desires with his partner in crime James.
Like Robin Hoods of the old west, he and James embark on a mission to rob from
the rich and give to the poor. When he refuses to let go of the woman who could
identify him, he finds he’s in true danger. Danger of losing his heart to the
heiress of the very railroad corporation he struggles to bring down.

EXCERPT of OUTLAWS OF
LOVE- RATED ADULT
James leaned in and drew a deep breath, his nose inches from her
hair. She tensed in response, but her body throbbed. Her nipples tightened
almost painfully. Xander gripped her waist and plucked her off her feet,
settling her astride in the saddle. She tried not to wiggle to ease the ache
between her thighs even as she avoided James’s steady gaze.
“What is your mother like?” She hoped to distract him from her
need, though the spark was quickly growing to an inferno.
“You’re going to love everything about my ma,” Xander said,
vaulting up behind her. He tucked her tight against his chest with his familiar
arm locked around her waist. James crossed to his horse and loosened the rope
keeping it from running away.
“His mother’s the best cook in the world.”
“Better than yours, James.”
“No lie.” The man hitched his foot into the stirrup with the
barest of winces and seated himself atop Switchback.
Xander probed her ear with his tongue, and his cock jammed harder
against her buttocks. “James’s mother burns everything.”
“I used to pretend to eat my meal and then ran like hell across
the fields to get to the Hollis Ranch in time for supper.” He set his heels
into his horse, and they took off.
Xander didn’t immediately follow but nuzzled her throat. “You’re
so goddamned alluring, Annabelle. I need you.”
She twisted, threw her arms around his neck and drew him down for
a kiss. The instant their lips brushed, a series of explosions detonated in her
core. Her nerve endings pinged. Her breasts grew heavy with need. And her pussy
pulsated, begging to be stroked. Stretched. Filled.
“Please, Xander. Touch me.”
“Mmm.” His chest rumbled against her side. Gliding a hand over her
knee and up her inner thigh, he located the V of her legs. Through the fabric
of her dress, he rubbed her heated folds.
Grasping her skirt, she hitched it up to expose her pussy to his
fingers. She stole a glance at James’s back. He was still riding, either giving
them a moment of privacy or oblivious to the fact they weren’t following.
Xander’s hard lips commanded hers. At the first touch, she opened
her mouth to him, and his tongue swept inside. He tasted the walls of her
mouth, his tongue working deeper against hers. When he strummed the bundle of
nerves between her thighs, she gasped.
Quivering with need, she writhed against him, seeking more of his
maddening touch. The blaze of desire in her belly was uncontrollable. If she
didn’t get release soon, she’d go insane.
She’d tossed out her inhibitions and admitted that she craved his
touch. When he stroked her, she lost all sense of time and place, which
couldn’t be a good thing. She was about to arrive at the Hollis family ranch,
where people would surround them day and night. And James couldn’t be far away,
could he?
Xander tore his mouth away. “How long will it take, baby doll?”
How many times do I have to do this” -- he circled her clit once, twice -- “to
make you come on my fingers?”
“Oooh.” Flashes of delight sparked behind her eyes, and her world
narrowed to include only Xander’s leather-and-musk scent and the pressure of
his callused fingers against her sensitive tissues.
Even when the hoofbeats of James’s horse sounded nearby, she
couldn’t open her eyes and make Xander stop. He parted her thighs with one
hand, exposing her completely to the air and surely to James’s gaze.
Xander’s words drowned out all cares. “That’s it, baby. Come for
me. Feels good, doesn’t it? Your pussy is so pretty, all tight and wet. Your
clit so swollen. You want to come for me, don’t you?”
In a blinding burst, she splintered. Wave after wave of blissful
sensation washed over her. She clung to Xander, her gasps suddenly swallowed by
his kiss. He ground her nubbin into her body, extending her release. Cream
soaked his fingers.
James gave a soft moan.
And Annabelle’s eyes shot open. The man was mounted not five feet
from them, his horse dancing slightly. James’s gaze was riveted between her
thighs.
Xander lifted his head, looked right at James, and thrust his
finger deep into her body.
A haze of rapture settled over her as another orgasm broke over
her. The waves pounded her, the pinnacle sharper and more fulfilling than the
last. Sensation ripped through her, and she stopped breathing for a minute.
When she cried out, James’s gaze flashed to hers, caught and held. As her
release pounded through her muscles, she couldn’t look away if she wanted. She
was trapped again -- between Xander’s adept fingers and James’s stimulating
stare.
