Coming Soon From Phaze: The Gift

[rgraham666]

The Gift will be released from Phaze in August.

Here's the blurb. It will fill you in nicely. ;)

__________

Charlene Raleigh knows where she is going in life. She knows she won't get there without jettisoning a lot of useless baggage. Things like pleasure, joy and sex are things she's leaving out of her life until she succeeds in reaching her goal.

Then she meets Tom Jackson. Although Charlene tries very hard to deny it, her emotions flare when he's around. For once, she has no control. And to her surprise, she enjoys this very much.

Step by step, Tom leads her, guides her, draws out of her all the feelings and drives Charlene thought were of no use to her.

When Charlene is ready, Tom gives her a gift. The gift of herself.

Ohhh I LOVE that cover! Very nice! Did you do it? Or did Phaze?

[rgraham666]

Alessia Brio did it. She does great work.

Met her in real life as well. One hell of a person. :)

Here's a little taste from The Gift. Due from Phaze in August.

__________

Lost in her lust, Charlene was barely aware of his hand at the zipper of her gown. Only when he removed it and threw her apparel aside did she fully realize what he was doing. Embarrassment, more acute, rushed through her once more. And close on its heels arrived the excitement, just as intense. She felt her skin flush and the muscles in her body quiver.

Tom kneeled slowly to move down her torso, his tongue and lips never still. “Oh!” she groaned tremulously. “Sir!”

Finally he was licking at the skin just above the tops of her panties. It had been many years since a man had played so close to her wetness. Charlene keened at the sensation and came within microns of disobeying him. Holding back used some more of her inner strength and she fell more deeply under his spell.

He pulled back then, looked up and smiled. Charlene could see he was pleased with her. Happiness caused a different warmth inside her. She couldn’t smile back though. If she let one group of muscles go, they all would and she needed to obey his command to stay still.

Moving his hands to the top edge of her undergarment, he took the elastic of the white silk garment in his fingers. She felt a moment of puzzlement, curiosity of how he would remove it with her legs bound.

She needn’t have worried. Tom simply ripped them free, the sides of the attire giving way instantly under his strength. The silk ran almost too fast over her pucker and lips, burning ever so little. That resonant “Oh” sounded again. Every muscle in her body hardened in a barely successful attempt to remain still. Charlene felt a gush of lubrication and then the warmth of tiny trails of liquid on her inner thighs.

He licked at them, sopping up the slick fluid. Charlene made a strangled sound, her body’s reaction vehement. She struggled to keep from moving.

Tom reversed his course, followed his path back up her stomach and chest. He played over her tits for an instant, just long enough to push her farther down the path she was traveling. Charlene gritted her teeth and pulled blindly at her cuffs.

He pulled her close once again, taking her now naked buttocks in his hands. He squeezed and rolled them, ran his right forefinger over the sensitive pucker there. Her reaction was the graphic “Oh!” that was becoming one of the few words in her vocabulary.

“Yes,” he whispered again. “I knew exactly what you were. Do you know what that is?”

“I… I…” Charlene gasped back. What am I?

It seemed he heard the question. “You’re an obedient little slut,” Tom breathed.

She snapped her head back. Looking at him, her eyes glistening, she shook her head in denial. “No,” she whispered. Both gestures were very weak.

Tom smiled at her. The smile of an adult hearing foolishness from a child. “I can prove it.”

He removed his right hand from her buttock and placed his fingers on her wet labia. Gently, softly, he stroked them.

Charlene’s jaw dropped. She wanted to say something but couldn’t. The lust caused by his playing buried her ability to speak. Instead she panted and wheezed. Her body tautened to keep from disobeying his command to her. She thought it was the most difficult thing she had ever done.

Until he stiffened two fingers and slid them inside her. Charlene felt every ridge of his knuckles and it seemed every tiny hair on his digits. Giddy joy rushed outward from there. Her eyes fluttered and her lungs pulled in a long, hard gasp.

:lol:

After a day on Fictionwise The Gift (http://www.king-cart.com/Phaze/product=The+Gift+by+Rob+Graham) is now my bestselling e-book.:biggrin:

[rgraham666]

:lol:

I got two votes over at Fictionwise for The Gift. Both were 'OK'.

I know why they voted that even though it's really good.

Although BDSM it's not really heavy BDSM. And it is a romance where I spend a lot of the story building up the relationship between the two characters.

So the really heavy lifestylers aren't going to be pleased with it. 'Not enough pain' as a couple of people commented when it was posted at Literotica. ;)
