Claiming Magique by Tina Donahue
Tina Donahue is here today sharing an excerpt from her latest release, Claiming Magique. Tina will be awarding the winner’s choice of a backlist eBook to one randomly drawn commenter at every stop!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A man at the center of power. A woman who won’t be ruled. They call her Magique.
Sought out by the District’s elite, she’s no ordinary call girl, deciding who will pleasure her for the evening. Her preference is for several men at once. Games of bondage and submission heighten her arousal and desire to have a strong male take her.
Hunter is only looking for a good time, not a woman who unleashes a hunger so deep it changes his world. He won’t stop until Magique is his alone, a prisoner of his lust, powerless against his growing need for her body and heart.
With this man, resistance isn’t allowed. For this woman, he’ll create a world of sensual delight and yearning like none she’s ever known.
Reader Advisory: Magique’s sensual journey includes some brief ménage and BDSM elements.

Claiming Magique by Tina Donahue
Chapter One Excerpt
On the other end of the room was a wet bar. And Magique.
Hunt stepped closer, unable to help himself.
Her back was to them. She made no move to turn around despite David’s nervous throat clearing.
Her hair was glossy and black with blue highlights, worn so long the ends dangled over her ass. From his vantage point, Hunt could see her right leg. She wore strappy gold heels, three inches high. He estimated her to be about five-seven or eight without them. Her dress, a simple sheath, was of an amazing gold material, slightly shiny and so snug she might as well have sprayed the damn thing on.
It wasn’t gauzy lingerie, but it did reveal her every curve.
Adrenaline pumped through Hunt, making it difficult for him to stand still. His mouth went dry.
Her figure leaned more toward a Victoria’s Secret model than the waiflike look of high couture. The dress’s left strap had fallen down, making her seem more accessible, oddly vulnerable. Light glanced off her bare shoulder and arm as she moved, lifting a glass, tipping a bottle. Her skin was an ivory shade, looking delicate and seductive as hell.
He pulled at his tie’s knot, needing to loosen it so he could breathe more easily. The air, so fresh a moment before, seemed suffocating now. His fingers ached. He’d been making fists. To control himself? Damn right.
He longed to cross the room and turn her around so she’d notice him, her expression saying she not only approved, she wanted him more than the others, her actions affirming her reckless desire.

Insanity – THE END
I have to be real honest and admit that I really slacked off. I was so good for a while there, but then I lost all interest, motivation, and commitment and went back to my lazy ways. This always happens with me and exercise. I don’t know why really, it is not an overly typical trait of mine. I mean, writing is all about self-motivation and I manage to do that. But I can drink coffee and eat cookies while I’m doing it so maybe that explains a lot…
I’d actually love to get back into it, to start it all over and do it again because I really did enjoy it, but every morning I wake up and think, “I think I’ll just have some coffee instead.” A lot of this has to do with the fact that while I gained the ability to jump around lots, I lost no weight at all. Not even a single pound. And that was really the goal, you know. When that didn’t occur…well, cookies are better than failure any day, right?
Not that it was a total waste of time of course. I can see muscle tone where I had none and I can jump around lots and lots. Good things I suppose, but not really the results I was after. Still, overall I am disappointed with myself and my lack of follow-through. I did not achieve what I wanted to achieve and I hate that.
So, I failed and now it is over. I’m not sure what to do next or if I want to do anything at all really. I am much more active in the summertime than the winter in general, when the weather starts getting cold all I want to do is stay snuggled in blankets and sleep in.
But I am open to suggestions and advice. Should I start again? Maybe form/join some kind of workout group? Would anybody be interested in such a thing? I’d love to know your thoughts!
