Katie sipped her ice tea and checked her watch again. Where was Alana? This was her second invitation to this country club and she was looking forward to an afternoon of tennis and pampering.

She glanced around the dining room and her eyes settled on a man. Not just any man. He was an amazing specimen. Even from this distance, she could see the outline of his muscular form underneath his knit shirt. He wore the distinctive polo that marked him an as employee. Katie wondered what he did. Was he a tennis or golf pro? Dare she hope he was a massage therapist?

Top 5 Tips for Shooting Stars Sex

1. Honesty – Be honest with your partner. Don’t fake an orgasm. Help your partner by letting him (or her!) know what you like.

2. Expectations – Have high but realistic expectations. Not every sexual encounter ends with an explosive orgasm. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t enjoyable.

3. Verbalize – Talk to your partner. What worked for you last week might not today. Your mood might be different. Your level of arousal might be higher or lower. Maybe today your body wants a more relaxed encounter. In the alternate, maybe you want something a bit stronger.

4. Experiment – Have an open mind. Don’t expect your partner to be like one you’ve had before. Every person is different. However, use what you’ve learned and add to it.

5. Grooming – Let’s not forget this. Sure, sometimes the mood strikes when you’re hot and sweaty. But usually, it is great to be neat and clean. No one expects model perfection (we know not even models looks like that), but do your best and your partner is likely to appreciate the effort.

What is your tip for sizzling sex?

Excerpt from Mia’s Cop Craving 2 – Double Teamed

Mia opened the door and paused.

Rogan was so male. He filled the doorway and she swallowed hard as her arousal sparked again. He leaned forward into her, stealing a kiss.

Mia’s lips melted against his. “I’ve been waiting for you.”

He captured her lips again and stepped inside. “I know. I’ve been thinking about this all day.”

“Well, actually, I didn’t wait.” Mia’s face pinkened with a blush of embarrassment.

Rogan flashed a smile. “Is that so?”

“I wanted to…but I was sitting here…thinking about you. I took the liberty of starting…sort of…maybe without you.” A worried look flashed across her face.

“Ah, now I must insist you tell me all about it. Perhaps we should even re-create it so I get the full picture.”

The story is available for purchase at major ebook retailers. Just click the links below!

Our story has three characters – a werewolf, a bounty hunter and a body guard. Our setting is an alley.

Streaks of purple and gray filled the sky behind the setting sun. Jonah, leader of the Ironpaw Clan, crouched, hidden, in a doorway. His sensitive ears twitched at the sound of footsteps entering the alley as his eyes adjusted to the growing twilight.

Ok – that’s our opening! Please add to our story.

Top Five Tips for Sex on the Beach

You know, Dear Readers, sex on the beach is more than just an alcoholic beverage. Sex on the beach can be a wonderfully romantic adventure or an exercise in chaotic hilarity. In no particular order, here are my tips for planning your sensual rendezvous on the sand.

1. Privacy. Trust me on this one. There are few things more detrimental to the romantic mood than unexpected and unwanted guests. Pick a remote spot or a time when you will have your selected area to yourself (e.g. at night).

2. Blanket. Be sure to bring a blanket or beach towel. The sand might be lovely to walk through in bare feet, but it is quite unfriendly to certain delicate areas.

3. Shade/Sunscreen. If your interlude is planned for the daytime, you will definitely want to make sure you either find a handy palm tree or bring a beach umbrella. Sunscreen will be an absolute must for those areas inside the tan lines.

4. Hydration. There is nothing like hot sunlight and physical activity to make a person parched. A dry tongue is not conducive to kissing or other intimate activities. Not only that, some nice icy water could bring a little spice to the encounter.

5. Wildlife. Believe it or not, when the humans vacate the beach, the wildlife returns. Nothing douses the flames of desire quite like a crab claw attaching itself to your toe. Watch out for crabs, turtles and other beachcombers. It’s really their beach, we just get to borrow it now and again.

Don’t forget, please share your thoughts! Would you like a story that includes some sex on a beach? Sign up for my mailing list and receive a free copy of B is for Beach from The ABCs of Erotica.

Excerpt from A is for Anal from The ABCs of Erotica

   Michael smiled and took Grace’s hand, urging her from the bed. She followed him in eager anticipation, still tingling inside. His frank appreciation released her sensuality from its cage where it had been long confined. She’d spent day after day trapped in a suit, her hair restrained. Only Michael had seen through her prim facade. Only Michael had explored what was beneath.

He led her to the bathroom and turned on the shower taps. Steamy vapor clouded the air, and the tips of Grace’s long brown hair curled wildly. He guided her inside the huge, stone-lined shower. Her bare feet gripped the cool, textured tiles. Deliciously warm water streamed over her skin and Grace laughed—delighted.
