My Story

All my life I have been writing the stories in my head. I see romantic situations unfolding everywhere I go so the ideas for my novels come to me easily. After many years of contemplation I finally decided in 2013 to publish my work... to take the leap of faith... to make my thoughts public.

Why 2013?... I have usually been one to go with my intuition and 2013 simply ‘felt right’. Family and friends have also been a major positive influence and strangely more so this year than at any other time that I can remember.

In my sometimes crazy corporate world the escapism of a romantic interlude can be exciting, adventurous and calming all at the same time. My writing has been my constant companion throughout the years and it continues to be my best friend indeed.

It is my wish that you enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoy writing them and hopefully this will be the start of a lovely journey together.

Live, Laugh, Love

What Happened in Book 2

Invitations

Emily has been through a lot with finding her sexuality and what she likes, and has taken a lot of twists and turns in her journey of self-discovery. Being the voyeur with her best friend and husband, to going on dates that ended with her unsatisfied, and then to a set up with Ethan that her best friend’s husband made happen.

With Ethan came many surprises, not the least the company and loving arms of Sophie. Thinking that she had found love in Ethan, she realizes that he is just as damaged if not more so than she is, and has walls of his own that need to be broken down. The secret party was a bust and left Emily thinking that maybe Ethan wasn’t for her, but Ethan is far from out of her life.

Chapter One
Ethan’s Hunt

Everyone was telling me that I had to forgive him but I wasn’t ready to make it that easy. He had gone out of his way to show me how sorry he was and now I wanted to show him that I appreciated h
is efforts. I may not have had the cash that he had but I was a romantic at heart. I believed that I could come up with something that would show him how special I thought he was.

If I learned anything from those cheesy chick flicks was that any gesture which made you look the fool was the one that made the most impact. This was going to take me out of my comfort zone but he was well worth the effort, at least to me.

I knew where he worked so I was certain that I could surprise him and give him something that he would remember for a long time. I donned a disguise, went to his building and snuck into his office hoping that no one saw me. I took my knapsack off my shoulder and began to put my plan into action. My tactic entailed rose petals on his desk, a letter with lipstick on it and a piece of lingerie that I carefully placed on his chair. This was just phase one of an elaborate cat and mouse game that would ultimately lead him to his treasure.

I snuck out of the office, took a seat nearby and waited to see what his reaction would be when he saw what was waiting for him in his office. It wasn’t very long before he was coming down the hall with a stack of papers in his hand. He was so engrossed in what he was doing, that he didn’t notice what was in front of his face until he closed his door and looked up.

“What the…” His exclamation made me smile within. I saw him looking around, probably hoping that he could spot the culprit who did this. He tossed some of the rose petals in the air, then raised the red silk panties in his hand and twirled them around on his fingertip. He finally picked up the letter and looked at the lipstick that was encased in it. He brought the letter up to his face to smell the perfume that I had purposely sprayed on it to give him some idea of who was responsible. As he read the letter, I could see the change of expression on his face. It read,

‘If you are game then pick up the panties and take them into your bathroom where you are to put them on and follow the instructions waiting for you. If you do exactly as you should, then there will be a huge surprise waiting for you at the end of this scavenger hunt.’

It was obvious from his expression that he wasn’t sure what he was going to do but he relented and took the item into the bathroom. He saw a telephone number that was scratched on his mirror in bright red lipstick.

It was fun making him jump through hoops and I wondered if he did exactly as I told him to do. There was a phone with a camera in the bathroom and a note that said he had to take a picture of himself wearing the underwear and send it to the number on the mirror. My breath was caught in my throat as I waited on pins and needles to see if he was going to follow along.

A few minutes later, my phone notified me that there was a picture waiting for me to open up. Moving the cursor along the screen, I opened the attachment to see that he was now wearing the gift that had I left him.

“Excuse me, but is there something that I can do for you?” I got up and scrambled out of there as fast as I could, hoping that he wouldn’t see me in the aftermath. When I got out of the building, I noticed that there was a text message attached to the photo. It said something that surprised and thrilled me.

‘I know this has to be you, Emily, and now I have to wonder just what you are up to. Although I have to admit, I look pretty damn good in these and they are so comfortable.’
At least he knew that it was me and not some other woman in the office that was playing games with him. He didn’t seem at all taken aback by what I was getting him to do and in fact, he was having a little fun with the whole thing. He would just have to wait until he received the next part of my plan, which should be arriving at any minute now.

A man wearing a gorilla outfit walked into his office building with a bunch of balloons in his hand and an invitation containing clues which he would have to solve to know what to do next. I would’ve paid anything to see the look on his face when he saw the gorilla walk into his office, dance around in a circle and then present him with the invitation that would lead him to his next destination.

About twenty minutes later, the gorilla was being escorted out by security and it seemed as if everything went according to plan.

I met the gorilla going down the sidewalk and said, “So, was he surprised when he saw you?”

Taking off the head, Barry said, “Oh yeah, he was surprised and I left him with a perplexed look on his face as he perused the clue that you left for him.” I had recruited Barry and a couple of other friends to help me implement my plan and they were more than happy to play along, considering that they all believed we should be a couple. I still wasn’t sure if we should be a couple, but Ethan was playing along, so that showed at least he was willing to see this through. The fact that he was wearing a pair of my underwear was somewhat of a turn on for me.

“Okay, you know what to do next. I hope that Maria has everything prepared for the final stage.”

“Don’t worry, if I know Maria then I’m sure that she has everything in hand and has probably gone overboard with the preparations.” Hearing Barry say that, I wasn’t sure what he meant, although I imagined that I was going to find out soon enough. “What exactly did you leave him as a clue to the next step of the plan?”

“I gave him the receipt for a white dress that he had bought for me. He will know that the next stop will be my workplace. Ronnie will be there in a snow white outfit to give him his next piece of the puzzle.” I had to see for myself how everything was going so I drove over to the boutique and waited outside to see what would happen when he arrived. Ronnie was already outside skipping up and down the sidewalk in the snow-white outfit that I had asked her to wear. I rolled down my car window a bit so I could hear everything that she was saying.
