Just a taste of Dominique Eastwick's
Hunting JC

As Hunter cleared the doorframe, he was attacked, not by a mugger or drunken man, but he was attacked by her, J.C. Her hand twined through his hair and brought his mouth down to hers. Her lips moved under his, begging him to open to her, begging him to give her a try. She took his hand and placed them on her full breast. Her nipples immediately pearled in his hand. His mind screamed to stop this now, but his body didn’t seem to be listening. From the moment her soft, full lips touched his, he was putty in her hand. He knew his only hope of survival was that she had not yet become aware of it.

"J.C..." he moaned into her mouth as he said unconvincingly, "We can’t do this."

"Shh," she hushed, pressing her breasts further into his hands. "Just feel me, let me feel you."

"Jacinda, will you listen to me?"

"Not if your words have anything to do with, this isn’t right. Or Jacinda, this can’t happen between us."

"Exactly, that is..."

"Shh," Jacinda pressed her fingers against his lips. He felt the electrical vibrations that were humming through her fingertips. "Please let me do this for you. I want to taste you."

Five words were his undoing. I want to taste you

No Guest Today, but I'm Dishing

Today's scheduled guest didn't make it, so I'll enlighten with what's happening in my world. Sit back and be prepared to yawn.

My goal for today is to wrap up DEAD Memory, the latest in the DEAD series at Aspen Mountain Press. Once I type those magic words...THE END, then the real fun begins...I hit print and will spend the weekend correcting and revising in order to have it my editors hot little hands by Monday. In this book, life gets confusing for a vampire who wakes up quoting
bible verses, hungering for blood and not knowing he's a vampire. The werewolf heroine realizes somethings not right, but hey, she discovered this guy in daylight, wearing a cross and when he does come too, he's talking about the Lord taketh and giveth...plus, his head wound isn't healing. Doesn't matter what her mother said...no way can he be a vampire. Then there's the demon...not really such a bad guy, more like misguided...especially since he's under Beelzebub's control. Confined to the debts of Hell the Evil One has to use Minions who can operate on earth. Throw in a gay werewolf, the old gang from prior books and jeepers, no wonder I have a headache!

Beyond that, today is the Honey & my anniversary. That translates into getting my butt in gear and wrap up the book with another battle to save the world from evil. So everyone have a great weekend and think of me slashing away with red marker...oh and tonight, partying with a little bubbly...or maybe a lot!

Sad Heart Today

Today I'm still very sad at the new received in a phone call early yesterday. My family has lost someone near and dear to us, and even though she lived a long, full life, the sadness is still there.

When I married Illa's only son, I came with baggage in the form of two children from my prior marriage. She welcomed all three of us with an open heart and my children called her "Grandma" just like her two grandson's did. Through the years she was there for me and our little in joke was if her son and I split, she got to keep me.

The sudden death of her son and my husband left us both floundering in grief, but we clung together and supported each other. She encouraged me to move on and establish a new life. When I remarried a few years later, it was with her blessings.

So it is with a sad heart that I say, thank you Mom. Thank you for all that you gave me in the way of love, support and laughter through the years. I hope this finds you in a better place and with the loved ones you've lost.

I'll always remember the Mother of my heart and strive to make you proud.
