LUST Page 4


  My veins stopped flowing, my heart momentarily ceased beating. Was he playing a game with me? What did he know about punishing me? The fierceness in his eyes told me that I was about to find out.

  Note from the Author

  I told Chris that I wanted to put out a soap opera type of story. Since its summer time and both of my college kids are home, and we came up with the idea of the 7 Deadly Sins. LUST is the first installment. I will publish an issue each Wednesday. I decided on Wednesday because that’s ‘trash’ day at our house, and that humored me for some reason. But Chris clarified that it was also ‘hump’ day, which finalized my decision.

  So next week we can look for Carlton and Liz’s relationship to take a dangerous turn. ENVY is the title of next week’s episode! Carlton finds himself wholly absorbed in Liz’s well being. When a chance encounter delivers Benton Frazier to New York Carlton is insane with jealousy. He’s greedy and wants Liz to himself but hasn’t gotten up the nerve to ask her for an exclusive relationship. Liz is blown away by Carlton’s dominate pose in her life, especially when Benton is around. But Benton Frazier is now more convinced than ever that Liz Martin is the woman for him. She was his submissive before she left Charleston, and in his mind she remains his property, now and forever. Will Carlton and Benton come to blows over who owns Liz? How will Liz assert her independence and break free from the men who think they both own her? Or does she even really want to?

  About the Author

  Christopher and I are from the coastal area of South Carolina, what the locals would call the ‘lowcountry.’ We live a quiet life nestled just outside of Charleston with our eighteen dogs and one cat (Jenny), who thinks she’s a dog.

  Chris and I started writing short stories for each several years ago. As time passed, our stories got a little longer, and one might say a little more developed. With Christopher’s support, I was able to dedicate my time fully to writing, and with his help published my first book in 2010.

  Our focus now is developing a more complete storyline filled with rich, robust characters. Concentrating on character development, scene development, and storyline development has been both challenging and rewarding. Most of all, the ability to work with someone who understands constructive criticism has hopefully made us both better writers with each attempt.

  We love to get emails, and we’re working on a blog site where we can post some spoilers and such. We check into facebook periodically, and need to get back onto my blog laurabcooper.blogspot.com, so look us up! Or contact us at christophercooper67@gmail.com or lbcooper123@gmail.com!

  SHADES OF SHAME

  Leila Johnson isn’t your typical intern. She knows what she wants, and knows how to get it. A summer internship in her mother’s office is perfect for a young woman with aspirations of climbing the political ladder. With the Senator squarely in her sights, Leila is positioned to add another notch on her bedpost as she pads her resume.

  Her sexual desires rival any man’s, and the fact that she doesn’t mind using people makes it all the easier. She likes her sex raw, carnal, and full of lust and passion, and if it helps her advance, all the better. Senator David McNarry is nothing more than a strategic item in her checklist.

  The last time she saw Logan McNarry he was a skinny, silver spooned brat. However, dinner at the Senator’s house was a bigger surprise than she ever imagined. Logan was all grown up now, and definitely not how she remembered him. He was nice, gentle, and a hopeless romantic. None of the things that would further her career. His father, on the other hand, represented all she hoped to achieve: money, power, and status. And the fact that the Senator had no problem using his interns, fit absolutely perfectly into her plans. Add in the handsome, rugged exterior that simply smoldered, it was a sexual play she was sure she could take advantage of.

  And all would have gone as planned if she hadn’t reconnected with Logan. As she spent more time with him, her plan took an unexpected turn which had her dazed and confused. A new emotion, one she was not familiar with, began to grow within her. The more she saw him, the less she wanted the Senator. Faced with a decision, her attempts to reconcile the emotion thrust her into unfamiliar territory. Will she follow this new path, or continue to pursue the Senator?

  BONEYARD BEACH

  The Night’ on Boneyard Beach was over fifteen years ago, but for Jenna Sinkler it is replayed each time she closes her eyes. His hands touching her, the salt marsh taste of his lips, and the ultimate “first time” every girl dreams of.

  In the real world, she’s a New York City cop who feels like her world is close to tumbling down on her. When she steps blindly into her apartment for a quick shower and finds her culinary wizard boyfriend enjoying a naked blonde waitress on her blue sofa, she reacts. It’s her reaction that sends her reeling with her tail between her legs back to the island in South Carolina where she spent every summer of her youth, including 'The Night' on Boneyard Beach.

  Fifteen years ago Nicolas Talbot was an uncomplicated southern boy with dreams and a bright future. Now Jenna’s making lists of why she and Nick should be as far away from one another as possible. But one question remains: was ‘The Night’ on Boneyard Beach a fluke, or was it truly as magical as they both believe? There’s only one way to find out.

  As Jenna falls head over heels in love with Nick again, the list of reasons why their relationship will never work begins to pile up. The fact that she lives in New Jersey and he in South Carolina is a major problem. But it doesn’t take Jenna long to understand that may be the least of the problems. Nick’s meddling Charleston family has harbored his secret for fifteen years, and she’s beginning to wonder to what extent they would go to protect him.

  Since ‘The Night’ on Boneyard Beach, no man has ever been good enough for Jenna, and no woman good enough for Nick. It seems as though they were meant for each other and no one else. But there had been someone else in Nick’s life and now she’s been found dead… on Boneyard Beach. Can Jenna overcome her mistrust for men enough to believe that Nick and his family had nothing to do with the mysterious death?
