“What’s got you looking distant?” Jace comes out from the bathroom, covered only by a towel.

I look up and smile guiltily. “When did I become such a snob?” I ask him, keeping my tone light. I’m arguing with my inner self, appalled at my own mental path. “The bedding to this place is going to have us itching all night.” I train my eyes upon him and sigh. “When did that become one of my biggest problems?”

Jace laughs at my problem and my faces pulls into a frown.

“If cheap sheets are your biggest problem right now, Lee, I am going to sleep a happy, happy man tonight.” He watches me, seeing my shoulders slump slightly under his teasing tone. “Maybe you could inspect the quality of towels too,” he queries, waltzing over to me. He pulls the front off from his body, holding out to me. “They’re rather stiff.”

I bite my lip and allow my eyes to trail down his partially glistening body and find the towel parted a delicious amount. I can already see he is hard and I release my lip. My mouth dries as I reach out for the flannel material and I feel lust filter through my system, stealing my woes and casting them aside.

I smirk at the sight, grinning like a Cheshire cat. “Definitely stiff.” I nod and agree and release the towel. Jace does too and the white flannel sheet drops entirely, leaving my husband bare and turned on before me. “Really stiff,” I exhale, my breathing drawing thin. His penis is directly within my eye level and I can’t help but lick my lips.

Jace doesn’t even utter a word as he reaches out for me. He takes my hand, mock disgust smother his face as he gazes upon what little I have on. “You’re a little too overdressed for my liking,” he speaks with minor revulsion as he pulls me up to my feet.

I used to be just another Fanfiction writer! That was until one person showed real interest in my work. And then another, and then another, until I had this whole group of people reviewing like crazy and wanting original work from me. I’d spent years writing for free online, I didn’t believe I had it in me to publish something!

But I’m glad I did!! I never imagined pushing my work and striving to reach my ultimate. I never imagined I’d be the girl who started The Viper Rooms! But who am I to deny the inspiration when it hits?
 
I love writing, it’s a lifeline. I love creating a world that others fall into. I love having the control to make a whole new world. It’s like a dependency, an addictive one. It’s one of the things I’m extremely proud of.
 
As much as I complain, I love the mini dialogues that go on in my head, the plotlines that attack me when I least expect them to. The ones that jump to life at the most inappropriate times and drive me totally crazy!!

For now I split my life between writing, dreaming, working, and volunteering with children.

Tammies Review The Runaway Viper by Kirsty-Anne Still
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kirsty has another excellent book here. The Runaway Viper. It has suspence, sex and pure love.
You must read Saturdays at the Viper Rooms before you read this book!!
Joley has broken the main rule for Clara Delvines Viper Girls. She fell in love with a customer.And by doing that is extreme punishment. Clara being the bitch she is is very strict with her rules and if you break them you pay in one way or the other.
Jace and Joley found the perfect plan to get away from Clara so they thought. Clara knows every move they make, but do they know this? Joley knows how Clara is and is always looking before she makes her next move. But as for Jace he doesnt know how devious Clara is and the lengths she will go to keep her Viper girls. They are under contract and no one breaks this contract.
Jace and Joley have a love that is stronger than Clara's contract and will do anything to escape this.
Jace and Joley have been on the run for several months living free and moving from place to place to keep out of the loop so Clara doesnt find them. Jace's loves Joley so much he is willing to give up anything to have a life for her. Joley's love for Jace is so strong she will endure anything to keep him safe and away from Clara.
Joley has become a strong women after her past working as a Viper girl. Jace's love has taught her how to enjoy life and thats theres more to life than being a Viper girl. Joley loved the plans Jace made for them all the way to binding their love for one another....till the day when they thought they were safe from the clutches of Clara.
Will Joley stay safe or will Clara find her and Jace? Is Joleys and Jaces love strong enough to hold til she is free from the contract of Clara or does Jace have another ace up his sleeve?
You will love this story. Love can conquer all sometimes but sometimes you gotta stand up to your demon and face it in the face and take the heat to get what you desire..Your one and only love.
I give this 5 stars. After reading Saturdays at the Viper Rooms I couldnt wait til The Runaway Viper came out. It was worth the wait!

One thought could change everything. Add on Goodreads   Exclusive Excerpt: ~Gail~ I startled myself awake and checked the clock. “Shit, shit, shit,” I muttered. I had overslept by nearly thirty-five minutes. I flew out of bed and darted for the bathroom to take a shower, realizing I must not have heard Damon getting out of bed this morning. He usually woke up nearly an hour before me, and I always heard him clunking around, so I’d stopped setting my alarm. Bad idea. I had stayed up late last night, reading a steamy romance novel, while waiting for him to come home. I must have slept like a rock. I slid to a stop in the bathroom and locked the door. I was used to locking it now, thanks to having a roommate. With quick succession, I stripped off my clothes and showered in lightning speed. Then, I dried off and noticed I’d forgotten to grab my scrubs for work. After I securely wrapped my towel around me, tucking it under my armpits, I cracked the door open to take a quick peek just in case. The coast was clear, so I ran for it, mindful that my feet were still damp in my hastiness. Three feet from my bedroom door, Damon rounded the corner, rubbing his head sleepily with his hand. His eyes bulged when he looked up. “What the—” I loudly gasped as I crashed into him, expecting to tumble to the floor in a heap of tangled limbs. Damon’s broad arms caught me, wrapping around my waist, while my hands clung to his biceps for balance. Once I got my footing, I peeked up at him. “Hi,” I whispered breathily. His eyes were smoldering hot, darker than I’d ever seen them before, and his jaw was set. At first, I thought he was pissed, but the increasing firmness against my abdomen told me otherwise. Heat flared inside me at our contact, and desire burned within me once again. “Hi,” he murmured back in a rough tone. A second passed, or maybe several, and neither of us moved. Damon kept one hand firmly on my waist while lifting the other to cup my cheek. He caressed it back and forth with a gentleness that sent shivers racing down my back. I melted into his touch. His eyes raked over my body as he ran his thumb over my lips, tracing them, while he murmured my name. I leaned into him and brushed his lips with mine, causing him to gently glide his fingertips down to the base of my throat. Ignoring all the reasons why this was a really bad idea, I gave myself over to what my body so desperately wanted. A groan left his throat as his palm came to my neck, pulling my lips closer. He took my mouth and kissed me deeply. His kiss rocked me back on my heels, and I grasped him like a lifeline, matching his passion as I kissed him back with equal fervor. Sparks ignited within every part of me. By the time we parted, we were both gasping for air. After the most perfect moment of my life, doubts came barreling into me and knocked the wind right out of me. “Oh my God…I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” I shook my head in dismay and embarrassment at succumbing to my crush on him. This was all my fault. “I have to go.” I went to disengage myself from him, but he held me in place. “Wait,” he demanded. I could see the confusion mixed with hurt in his expression. The look had me feeling even worse. “We need to talk about this.” “No, we don’t.” I felt at a total loss and out of my league. “I kissed you, and I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.” “We kissed each other,” he countered. “And what if I want to do it again?” “We can’t,” I retorted and looked up at him. “It will ruin everything.” “Ruin what?” he asked quietly. If Damon dumped me like the last guy and the guy before that, it would destroy me, and I could not let that happen. I was a stronger woman now. Plus, I was riding a very thin line with my finances, and if Damon and I crossed this boundary between us, there would be no going back. Things were perfect the way they were now. I did not want to mess it up. Plus, Caroline’s education was partially riding on my shoulders, which in turn was riding on having a roommate help pay my rent. It was an awful double standard, yes, but there was no other way. It was too risky. I would have to just live with my attraction to him. When I did not answer him, he added, “Gail, no matter what happens between us, I would never just walk out on you.” It was as though he had guessed what my apprehensions were. His last words hit me deep and gave me the strength to say my peace. I would not jeopardize my sister’s future over dating a man I barely knew. Especially given my history with men who only wanted one thing. My past gave me the courage to say my peace. I stood up tall, tightened my towel, and looked him straight in the eyes. “That’s what every guy says, and you’ll be no different.” Damon dropped his hands, letting me go, as if I’d slapped him. His eyes turned unreadable. My heart constricted painfully in my chest, churning and twisting relentlessly. I was so ashamed of myself for being so callous to a man who had done nothing but lend a helping hand to me in my time of need. “I’m so sorry, Damon,” I murmured, lowering my head in shame. Tears filled my eyes. “I have to go to work.” About the Author: Alicia Rae is a Contemporary Romance Author who lives in Dekalb, Illinois, with her husband and three beautiful boys.
