ASMSG Romance Erotica Ezine Oct. 2014 | Page 53

I grew up in a small, idyllic affluent town in the Western part of Connecticut, USA. The town definitely did not match my personality. My high school years were filled with the proverbial teenage fun, although not too much by me. I stayed close to home and pursued my B.A. in English Comparative Literature from a local college and then continued on for my M.A in English Professional Writing. I have always had a love for reading and literature and only furthered that during my studies. During my M.A. studies I decided it was time to challenge myself and work in a field that I have long admired and dreamt off: being a writer. Having entered the lifestyle a few years ago, I write erotica with a preference toward BDSM themes. I enjoy exploring the emotional connection and emotions behind the D/s relationships and why we like what we like. Excerpt 1: (Ally POVLanguage) fidgeted with a piece of paper that was on the counter. fighting the tears that were forming in the corners of my eyes. “Well, baby cakes, you have to let him be him. Marcus said he is a very guarded person. You should know that. You’ve been with him for a while now.”Emma answered, again without taking her attention away from the project. Emma’s arms encircle my chest. “You don’t know that. Give him a chance to explain.” “I get that, but still. If he wants to be exclusive-be in a relationshipwhy can’t he just tell me things. I’m not going anywhere.”I continued to play with the scrap piece of paper. “Again, Devlin has a past that most of us, including Marcus, doesn’t know about. Give him time Ally. It might be for a reason.” “I’m going home and no you will not get a hold of me. I turned my phone off and I will not answer it.”I said as I gathered my purse before I completely losing my composure. “Are you going to go to the club tonight?”I asked her as Nikki walked into the kitchen. “Why the fuck is Devlin going to London tomorrow? And why is he taking Kieran with him?” “Sometimes I really just want to tell him to fuck off,”I screamed as I slammed my phone on the back counter of the bakery. I had gone there after leaving Devlin’s office this afternoon, not wanting to be alone. I knew Emma was working on a huge order and Nikki was helping out as well. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk. I just stared at Nikki as she made her way toward me. “I don’t know what you are talking about?” “What happened?”Emma asked without losing her focus on the cake she was decorating. “Yeah, Nik, I am sure. I can’t believe this. Why wouldn’t he say something to me earlier?”I looked at Emma who now had stopped the decoration process on the cake to look at me. “Oh my god. I’m a fucking idiot. No wonder he wanted to meet at the club tonight. Tell me on neutral ground.”I hit my forehead with my palm, “I don’t know. I told you about what he said last week at the diner, you know about being exclusive. Then he goes and gets all weird. Mysterious phone calls, things he won’t tell me. He just seems off.”I “Fuck him and fuck this relationship. I am not going to start a relationship off with secrets and lies.”I picked up my phone and rattled off a text message to him. FUCK YOU! I am done. T hanks for telling me about London today. “Are you sure? He is your boyfriend?”She grabbed a tray of pastries from behind me and began filling the shells. Excerpt 2: (AIDEN POV) Once he was gone, Devlin’s hand grasped around the back of my head and pulled me close to him, his lips crushing against mine. His tongue opening my mouth to him as he mapped every inch of my mouth. The familiar smell of his skin, the feeling of his calloused fingers on the back of my neck had me pushing against his bulge. He broke the kiss and stood back, shaking his head. “God, it’s been awhile.” I sunk to my knees into position. There was no doubt in my mind
