Three Ladies in a Sauna

THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER,AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN,WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND.
THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.

THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID.
I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG.
THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR.

WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.'

THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.
THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID ..... WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT .....I'M GETTING A FAX!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

When Sparks Fly Blog Hop!

Gee, seems like only yesterday when we were celebrating our country's 100th birthday. Remember that? It was such a huge event and it seemed the whole United States was celebrating big time. My daughter was only two in 1976, and now she's in her thirties. Hard to believe that so much time has gone by.

What's the 4th of July mean to you? Besides the fire-works, noise makers, and late night gatherings of family and friends? I love any holiday that brings family together, and this is a holiday that brought our country together. Independence Day! Something we all aspire for, and fight hard to keep.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th! Enjoy the conversations, laughter, pool time if you're lucky, and the cookouts. Leave a comment, and your email addy, and receive a free download of one of my books. 

Henry Cavill

Sunday I went to see The Man of Steel . I was on a date, kind of, sort of. My daughter fixed me up with her dad, yes my ex, no don't get the wrong idea. We're barely friends. We've been divorced for almost 20 years, he's on vacation this week, and we both just happened to want to see the same movie. Then he took me to a nice Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Now, getting back to the movie. Ohmygod! Go see it! Maybe it is a wee bit too long, and maybe some of the fighting scenes were loud and a little over the top, but it's all worth it just to see the new Superman. He is one, handsome hunk, people! And the one shirtless scene he did? Whew! I think I actually moaned out loud.

The way it ended left you feeling like this is just the first of a series of Superman movies to come. What I really liked about this one was how it explained where he came from, what his parents were like, and his real name. How he came to live on earth, his childhood, and how he struggled with being different. Oh, and let's not forget the attraction between him and Lois Lane.


I'm definitely going to be thinking about Mr. Cavill when I come up with a description for my next hero. I liked him with the beard just as much without it, and I like the soft, messed up hair more than the combed back. But on him he was handsome either way.

Go see the movie!

Getting Old

A friend sent this to me, and even though I don't consider myself old, I can so relate to a lot of it. However, one thing I will never do, is walk on the beach with a swim suit stretched over my bulging body! LOL 

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before theyunderstood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunesof the 50, 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.
I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body,and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite thepitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just aswell forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart notbreak, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even whensomebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart neverbroken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of beingimperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, andto have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about whatother people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned theright to be wrong.
I like being old. It has set me free. I likethe person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I amstill here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if Ifeel like it).

Let's talk about eye-candy! If you read romance then I think it's safe to say that we all know what we mean by that. No, it's not a Snicker's candy bar, or whatever sugar treat that satisfies your sweet tooth. We're talking hunks, ladies! Those men with the six-pack abs, rock hard pecks, tree trunk size thighs, and thick necks. They don't even have to be handsome. Those particular hero traits make them handsome in our eyes. Turn them into, yum, eye-candy! Because let's face it, when we see a picture of a half-naked God built like that, we ain't looking at his face:) Sometimes it's his actions that make him eye-candy...

Excerpt from The Mercenary Way


Sarah had no way of knowing how long she’d been asleep when she scooted back against the hard, and unyielding warmth at her backside. Then an arm came over her and a hand fell upon her breast. Warm air caressed the back of her neck and something hard poked persistently against her ass. Too numb with exhaustion to question it or where she was, she pressed back with a soft moan. When was the last time she’d awakened in the middle of the night to the feel of a hard-on against her? Too long, it seemed. 
Somehow they must have fallen asleep on the floor because whatever they were lying on was uncomfortably hard. Perhaps while watching TV. She felt a nose nuzzle the hair away from her neck and then a mouth on her, kissing its way up to the lobe of her ear. He took the lobe between his teeth and tugged on it gently. The hand on her breast squeezed, fingers tweaked her taut nipple, drawing another sigh of pleasure from her. The liveliness of his hard cock was driving her wild. Sarah began to squirm with hunger against him, straining with a need too complex to name. Her hand moved up to cover his,drawing his down her body to the fire building between her legs. 
A low groan revealed his reaction to her move. A hand clutched over Sarah’s mound and applied pressure. She began to tremble and arched against the pleasure of being touched. Eyes closed, her hips began to undulate into the intimate caress. Wet pleasure flooded her loins and fueled her longing. 
“There’s no way I’m going to fuck you in this tree and risk us falling out and breaking something.” He sank his teeth into her neck then kissed away the brief pain. 
Sarah didn’t care what he did. She just wanted to feel. She pushed her ass against his throbbing cock and was rewarded by his violent shudder. “I want to come,” she whispered into the darkness. “I need to come.” She shivered. “It’s been so long…voice drifted away as she drifted in and out of sleep. 
The hand caressing her crotch moved. She opened her mouth to protest when she realized it had just moved to the top of her pants. Then, with lazy slowness, the material was nudged away and a hand slipped beneath her panties. It slowly inched its way to her pussy. A long sigh of pleasure escaped Sarah when a finger parted her pussy lips, slipped over her throbbing clit, and slid in deep. She began to rock her hips. 
“That’s it, baby.” Sarah barely acknowledged the husky voice encouraging her to move. “I’m going to finger fuck you until you come.” Lips, teeth and tongue began to explore the exposed flesh above her T-shirt. “Damn you’re wet and hot down there.” 
Sarah was too weak to comment, focused on moving her hips against his finger. What he was doing felt so damn good and she felt a building orgasm race from all directions in her body toward her womb and the finger pleasuring her. Her breathing escalated, and as another finger entered her, he picked up speed. She noticed something else, too. He was grinding his cock against her ass, and groaning low. 
“Jesus I want to fuck you right now…” 
“Oh god…oh god…oh god…” Sarah lost all control when she climaxed. It was a powerful release that left her breathless and quivering wildly against Clint. The last thing she remembered, before the numbness of sleep claimed her, was his hand slowly withdrawing from her pants.

Against the Ropes

He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more…

Makayla never thought she’d set foot in an underground mixed-martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it’s these guys. Trouble is, at her first sight of the club’s owner she’s the one feeling breathless.

All sleek muscle and restrained power, the man they call Torment plays to win at any cost. Whether it’s in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when to use a soft touch and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he’s about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined…
