I pin her with my eyes when she does. “Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“I’d hoped it was a onetime thing. I didn’t think they’d come back for real.” She sounds child-like as she explains, as if embarrassed by this thing she can’t control. Something wrenches hard in my chest and I feel woozy—an empathetic response to her episode. At least that’s what I tell myself.

I pull a chair next to the bed, to sit before I fall down. I get my own errant breathing in check as I hold her hand. “Keisha, you scared the fuck out of me. Don’t do it again.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“You’re not well. You don’t have to call me Sir right now.”

“Force of habit.”

“We’ll get you in to see a psychiatrist, pronto. Believe me, I’ve had my share of psychoanalysis from the best in Chicago. You’ll be better in no time.”

I wonder what event or events in her life triggered the attacks, but I am loath to ask her about them right now so soon after having one. We’ll need to be careful in the future until we ascertain which phrases and punishments we should avoid in the Grotto.

I feel an odd kinship with her now that I know she has something I’ve dealt with for a long time. Complicating things as we move forward is the realization that Keisha now has feelings for me that I won’t be able to return.

As much as I want her to remain my submissive, I can’t give her the valentines and roses she wants. We’re doomed either way. I see the resolve cloud her eyes before I can make an appeal otherwise.

She looks me in the eye and uses both safewords together signaling that she wants out of the Dominant/submissive relationship entirely.

“Jungle Fever.”

 

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Growing up, L.V. Lewis wanted to be an internationally known rock star, but unfortunately, lived in the wrong part of the country to pursue that career (and neither American Idol nor The Voice were available then). An early love for the written word gave her the plan B she sought. Her career as a contract manager was not creative writing by a long shot, but it didn't require her to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars required for a law degree. It does pay the bills while she dabbles in the publishing world as an author on the evenings and weekends.

LV lives in Florida with her husband. They are the parents of four children, three of whom don't think they need their parents anymore, so they share their home with a sweet female German Shepherd and an alpha male Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix who thinks he rules the world.

Her love for writing is only eclipsed by her love for her family.

REKINDLING THE FLAME SUMMARY

Sabine 
Beaudelaire
 returns to her hometown of New Orleans to the bedside of her favorite uncle, Sebastian 
Beaudelaire
, who’s been in a horrific accident and lies comatose at a local hospital.  Estranged for six months from her fiancé of eight years, she still hopes for reconciliation. Enter a gorgeous man she affectionately dubs “Hot IT Guy”, whose sex appeal—and open season at her family’s secret sex lair—fills her head with thoughts of propositioning a man for the first time.

When it becomes apparent she’s lost the love of her life to a more accommodating woman poised to give him everything he desires, Sabine’s hopes are shattered. With career benchmarks looming, Sabine is fulfilled by her work but lacking a love to call her own, a situation that Hot IT Guy, aka Xander “Fish” Fishbourne is eager to remedy.

Is it by coincidence or by design that Xander, her protective older brother’s high school friend who once admired her from afar, becomes her guest at the Den of Sin? Who cares? Her dormant libido needs a serious kickstart since she and her fiancé called it quits. But will this weekend of sexual freedom rekindle an old flame, or will it further complicate her already complicated life?

Rekindling the Flame is a second chance romance bringing an alpha hero back together with a woman he wanted before any other, and a heroine whose dominating older brothers shielded her from every man's advances. Now, it’s The Beaudelaire Big Easy Luau, a Den of Sin event where long held fantasies are made to be acted upon.
