Characters of Kink ~ Michael and Antwon from Sugar Daddy
Here to help me um...christen a new feature on my blog called The Characters of Kink are Antwon Bantu and Matthew Davidson, the main characters from Sugar Daddy, the latest release in author Raiwah's Something New on the Menu series from Naughty Nights Press.
Matthew Davidson
Q: What is your biggest fear?
Matthew: Fear of being alone and growing old with no one to love. I’ve never liked being a loner at all. It might have something to do with being an only child.
Q: What food you’d never eat?
Matthew: Ah a eating/cooking question. I’ll never eat any kind of insects. I know that’s popular in third world countries. Never will I eat something that I might’ve seen crawling on my walls or outside the house. *laughs*
Q: What is about to change for you?
Matthew: My love life. This story is about finding the man of my dreams right? I’ve been searching too long for the perfect man and I believe in this book I’m about to find exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Antwon Bantu
Q: What is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made and are you going to be able to rectify it?
Antwon: I’d say hiding my sexuality because even though I’ve made strides in my professional life, I haven’t found the partner I’ve ultimately desired. If I was out, I could make my feelings public. Will I rectify it? Somewhat. When I find Mr. Right, I do intend make people aware of my orientation.
Q: You’ve dressed to impress, what are you wearing?
Antwon: I believe I have impeccable taste in clothing. Oswald Boateng is my favourite designer. I’m wearing a grey thre piece suit with a crisp button down white shirt, and a pink tie with grey polka dots.
Q: What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Antwon: I see a man who is up in years, just looking for the one man to make him happy for the rest of his life. I see a man determined to find a partner even if it risks his career.
Something New on the Menu Series Book Four Sugar DaddyRawiya
Blurb: Matthew Davidson wants a MAN! The setting shifts away from the America’s to Britain where Matthew and his childhood friend, Devon Peartly attend a cooking school to obtain their cooking certificates. The young man wants a partner so badly, he decides he’ll try an online dating service in hopes of finding a black man that can take care of and satisfy him romantically.
He finds that man, Antwon Bantu on an online dating site and is instantly intrigued. Little does Matthew know that Antwon is involved in a “convenient” marriage and is seeking a younger partner so he can finally get on with his life. Instead of confessing the truth, he decides to hide it, fearing he’ll lose the chance with Matthew if he informs him. To complicate things, Antwon’s wife claims to be in love with him. Antwon must choose what’s more important; loving Matthew or saving his impeccable reputation as a top barrister in the London courts?
Which will he choose?
In this scene, Matthew is expecting a call from Antwon and can’t help but be nervous.
After school, Matthew did everything he could think of to keep himself busy until nine pm. He cleaned, did all his homework, cooked dinner, and talked Devon into leaving for the evening even though his good friend wanted to stay and hear the conversation. He couldn’t wait to hear that voice. Just thinking about the rich deep tone made his hardened muscle swell underneath his sweats. “Damn, what time is it?”
Nearly eight thirty; just a half an hour till he’d hear the voice of his potential new man. It didn’t matter if he wasn’t into Caucasians at the moment. Matthew assured himself he’d make Dlovr change his mind very quickly.
Matthew went into his room, trying to relax and get his wits about him. He lay on the bed he’d just made up, holding the phone in his overly busy hands. “Damnit, I’m so nervous.”
It had been awhile since he was this overjoyed about talking to someone new.
He just has to be the one.
All the signs pointed to him being the one he’d been searching for, with the only tiny detail being his preference for black or Latino. Nothin’ against men of the colored variety but I’m quite entertaining.
Gripping his cell tightly, he smiled to himself and stared at the screen. What would Dlover sound like? Matthew hoped he’d have a deep voice like Barry White, along with a slow hand. “Mhph.” A face like Denzel wouldn’t hurt! Although Matthew did say that looks didn’t matter that much, he had to wonder if Dlover was at least an average looking bloke. What if he’s butt ugly but real sweet? Just the thought made Matthew shudder. “We’ll cross that bridge when I see the picture.” He bit his lip and placed the handset face down in his lap. “C’mon nine o’clock.” This waiting period made Matthew even more uncomfortable. One by one, he began biting his nails on one hand while the other fidgeted with his curls. All kinds of what ifs ran through his brain. What if I’m not able to sway him? What if he’s pissed when he sees I’m not the man in the photo? What if he is butt ugly? Matthew shook his head and sighed. This had to be the longest half hour of his life. “Maybe I should call him, maybe…”
Jarred from his deep thoughts, Matthew nearly jumped out his skin when his phone blared the simple ring tone. His palms slightly moist, he wiped them on his trousers. Attempting to relax, he took a deep breath, and pressed the green button. “Hello?”
“Hi there, is this Choco?”
Matthew grinned and drew up his lips. A slight bit of guilt came over him. Choco eyes and hair but not skin. “Yes it is, is this Dlover?”
“It is indeed. How are you?” The smile came through the headset making Matthew’s smile grow wider. Not quite Barry White but still sexy. He licked his lips and propped his cell on his shoulder. “I’m good. My name is Matthew by the way. And yours?”
Silence then the voice came through once more. “Antwon. It’s good to talk to you, Matthew. I have to say I’ve been looking forward to this.”
“Yeah me too.” Making himself comfortable on the couch, he shifted and stretched his long legs out over the coffee table. “I have to be honest, I’ve been quite nervous about talking with you all day.”
“Same here. Maybe we could calm each other down. It’s not like we’re meeting one another in person… yet.”
The last part of that statement caused Matthew’s heart to skip a beat. Yeah they weren’t meeting but what would occur when they did?
Hopefully he’ll still like what he sees.

Naughty or Nice Giveaway Hop
Welcome to my stop on the reading Romances Naughty or Nice giveaway hop!
I'm going to tempt you with a bit of both. My current series, Those Devilish De Marco Men, has two titles published this far out of four.The first title, Soft Sounds of Pleasure, is about Colton, De Marco who, at twenty-nine, has had a crush on a married woman who's older than him for over a decade. When he stumbles upon Lila Walker sunbathing in the nude on her back deck, sparks fly. When he subsequently learns her husband has died, Colton isn't going to take no for an answer. But what can he use for bait to tempt Lila Walker out of her grieving? How about a sulky nephew who happens to love the same sport as Lila--baseball. Can Jonah help Colton win the woman of his dreams?
(Read Chapter One in it's entirety here)
The second book, Wildly Inappropriate tells the story of Colton's oldest brother Daniel, and the young woman he finds chained to his bumper one morning. She's black and she's beautiful and she ignites his dormant dominant side in a hurry. So what happens when you meet a man who's into some kinky sex and has a fondness for doing things his way? It's all wildly inappropriate, for sure. You'll never look at a fork quite the same way again.
(Read Chapter One in it's entirety here)
One lucky winner will take away a copy of both books, in .pdf format.
If I get twenty comments, then I'll award a second prize of (1) additional copy of Wildly Inappropriate.
At forty comments, a third prize of (1) additional copy of Soft Sounds of Pleasure will be given away as well.

Getting Harder ~ Six Sentence Sunday #SixSunday
Another six from Wildly Inappropriate. These are from Chapter Two. He was more than naked. He was hard. And getting harder by the second.Oh yes, I'd give a lot to see King Dazza on his knees, bleeding to death at my feet, Cynda thought angrily, unable to stop watching the stranger stroke his cock. If the bastard was dead, Grams wouldn't be worrying herself sick about having to live in government-assisted housing when she was used to her own home, and Cynda wouldn't have to beg this stranger to let her suck that big dick.She kept her gaze lowered because she figured she might as well get used to looking at his cock, and she doubted he gave much of a damn about her eye color.
Chapter One may be read here in its entirety.

Perfume in my favorite classic scent. It lasts longer. Honest it does.
One lazy, fat English bulldog with medical bills we dare not mention, but my vet drives a nicer car than I do and even he'd agree I paid for it.
Pink daffodils and peonies.
Fresh fruit all year long.
Chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Wildly Inappropriate has quickly become one of my favorite reads and definitely has a place in my keeper pile to be reread. 5 out of 5 rating. " ~ Belle's Book Bag
"...not only does the author give us a precious love story, she gives us a story so much deeper than that. This was such a complex read. I felt so many emotions while reading this book. There were moments I had to stop and fan my face because it's really hot! Then there were moments (being from the deep south) I had to stop and just absorb the truth of the things that made me angry and sad. I didn't just read this book, I experienced it. In the end my heart was full and can honestly say this is one of the best books I've ever read!!" ~ Review left by 'Hot' on Silver Publishing's site

Wildly Inappropriate ~ Six Sentence Sunday #SixSunday
Wildly Inappropriate released yesterday on the Silver Publishing site, so my six sentences are from that story, the second release in the series Those Devilish De Marco Men.Leaning against the porch post, Dan replaced his hand around his newly-throbbing shaft, stroking his fist along the waking length while watching her through narrowed eyes. "You can get in your car and go tell Brian the orchards still aren't for sale." His grin got wider as she continued to stare at his hand rather than his face. "But do tell him I thank him for finally figuring out the skinny bitches he's been sending aren't my style. Give him my compliments on picking a woman with an ass a man could really get into, not to mention how fucking fine you look in a collar. But sugar, your taste in clothing is wildly inappropriate."

What Do You Use a Toast Fork For? ~ Six Sentence Sunday #SixsSunday
Six more from Wildly Inappropriate.
He reached over her shoulder to the plate rack, feeling for the ornate Victorian toast fork, palming the item so she couldn't see it.The end designed for lifting toast from a tray wasn't quite the width of his palm, but that wasn't the end he planned to use. The handle wasn't as thick as a cock, but it was about seven inches long. It was hefty and roughly the diameter of a bottle cap at the widest point. He rubbed his thumb over the raised spiral pattern circling the handle. He thought the texture of the sterling would give her pleasure.

Outrage ~ Six Sentence Sunday #sixsunday
Six more from Wildly Inappropriate.Honey chile, ever' woman's gonna pick her own pain. That was her gram's favorite saying about men. Cynda had yet to find a man she felt was worth suffering for. She tried to see her beloved grandmother's face, to keep from unhooking the damn leash and starting the long walk back to the highway. She couldn't afford to dwell on the insult of being chained in some white man's yard, but fury burned within her that a black man would suggest this… this… outrage. It didn't take a genius to figure out this landowner must be some redneck who didn't want black neighbors.

Hot Summer Heroes Blog Hop ~ Huge B&N Gift Certificate Up For Grabs!
What kind of hero makes you melt?
Do you like the quiet, sensitive type, like the hero in Soft Sounds of Pleasure, Colton De Marco?
(excerpt)
Colton stood frozen just inside Lila's garage, his eyes riveted on her gesture. It was like she'd stepped out of his head. She was dressed the same. Even her hair was the same, flowing out the back of a baseball cap, the same jail-break tendrils cuddling her face. The only difference he could see was that this time, when she raised the shirttail to her face, the two items making his cock hard were the adorable dimples just above her ass.He wanted to swirl his tongue around those little dips.He wanted to hold her till she cried her last tear.He wanted to make her laugh.He wanted her.He gripped the potted orchid in his hand and adjusted his damn jeans. His movement finally caught her attention, because she dropped the shirt and glanced over her shoulder.He smiled as she stepped to the radio and reached to turn the volume down. "Is that for me?" she asked.Having Lila smile back at him was like basking in sunshine after a cold rain. He had to clear his throat before he could speak. "My way of saying thanks. Well, this and lunch, because if you're not busy, I'm going to insist."
Or perhaps you're more drawn to Colton's older and more dominant brother, Daniel, the hero in my upcoming release, Wildly Inappropriate?(unedited excerpt)
"Last year Brian sent six skinny bleached blondes in bikinis. They were supposed to wash our trucks, I guess, but ended up washing each other." Some emotion flashed in his eyes. She thought it might've been scorn. "One of 'em wrote Brian's offer in shoe polish on my windshield." His expression became stern. "Getting those six back into that van was like herding wet cats. Two female customers who had their vehicles up on lifts and couldn't leave haven't been back to the shop since. Now, he's sent you. Why am I finding it so hard to throw you out?"Cynda had no idea how to respond. The stinging handprints on her butt were warning enough not to think out loud."So, I hope like hell Brian picked your outfit and not you. It won't matter, really, because if you want to go through with this, I'll be choosing your clothes." He shoved his fingers through his hair, whirling away to begin pacing back and forth. "What's your name?"The soft feeling his comment about her hair had induced evaporated with his insult, but she answered his question. "Cynda Avery."He continued talking, his long legs eating up the distance between the back door and the table where she sat. His pacing made her think he was the one on a chain, but that made no sense. "I'm not going to put my cock in you, Cynda, but if you'll allow me the privilege, I want to make you come. Look at this as an exercise in trust. And to see if we're compatible, before we discuss anything else."This white boy is nuts. Cute as hell, but crazier than a bedbug. She laughed harshly, so off-balance by his odd assortment of declarations she forgot she wasn't supposed to speak. "Yeah? And what's in that for you?""I'm a man who likes to take control, Cynda, but I don't object to proving I deserve to be in control of a woman's body."
To be entered to win a copy of Soft Sounds of Pleasure in e-book format, just leave a comment with a valid e-mail address.I use the Draw Straws online application to select my winners, and will give away one (1) copy for each twenty entries. Winners will be notified at the e-mail address provided at the end of the hop.
Grand Prize winner of a $100 B&N gift certificate is to be selected from among all those commenting in the event.

Slavery ~ Six Sentence Sunday #sixsunday
Six more sentences from Wildly Inappropriate
What kind of black man would force a black woman show up at some old white dude's house, offering to reenact the Civil War—not the fighting part, but the slavery part?She knew the answer. The kind of black man that claimed to be all about community, but in reality just stole houses from little old ladies like her grams.She'd refused, but two days later had gone slinking back to his office, agreeing to try his plan. She'd had no other choice. Though she felt what he'd done to Grams was illegal, no lawyer in town would take her grandmother's case without payment. Tied like a dog to this truck, Cynda knew how abandoned puppies and kittens must feel when folks threw them out.
Please visit the official Six Sentence Sunday blog to find other six sentence excerpts from this Sunday's participating authors.
