Scorching Hot Blog Hop

What's better than a Valentine? 11 Valentines. Check out all the Valentines available from The Red Hot Valentine Stories.

Here's a little excerpt... Is the best love the one you didn't expect?

“Excuse me.” A beautiful woman’s velvet voice cut off Marcus’ story like an errant teenager merging in traffic. “Are you Marcus?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“You look just like the picture Kurt sent me. I’m Jenna. Jenna McMillian.”

Jenna Turner’s heart dropped to her gut as Marcus looked at her, then back to the other Jenna, and back again.

“What’s your last name?”

“Turner. Kurt Turner’s my brother.”

“Who’s Kurt Turner?” Jenna McMillian asked as her perfectly manicured finger tucked her luxurious dark hair behind her ear.

“Wow, this is awkward,” Marcus said as he stood up and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

“It doesn’t need to be. It was nice meeting you, Marcus, but I have to get to work.”

Jenna gathered her belongings and practically ran across the street to the safety of her desk. Of course her brother couldn’t give her a tall, dark, and handsome man with a sense of humor and a smile that made the frozen part of her melt.

Rushing into her office she flung her sketchpad in the corner and plopped into her rolling office chair.

“Something up?” her assistant, Brenda, asked while dropping off a tube with a blueprint inside.

“Have you ever just met a guy and knew instantly you never wanted him to…”

“Dress again?”

“I’m not talking about stripping some guy down for a night of carnal pleasure.”

Oh, who was she kidding! All Jenna could think about was handcuffing herself to Marcus until both of them were on the brink of dehydration from a night of hot passionate love. Of course Jenna had never experienced that so it would be a first, but then again, a man like Marcus probably knew how to satisfy a woman in less then five minutes. Damn her luck. Just when she thought it was safe to eat her lunch in the park, Prince Charming had to stroll up and give her hope. Ugh, why couldn’t she have just gotten mugged? That would have been less emotionally draining.

Speaking of Marcus… Jenna turned toward her art desk and looked out her fifth story window. Yep the perfect view of the park and river was now ruined as she saw Marcus still talking to Evil Jenna.

Why had she rushed off like someone had screamed fire? Sure Evil Jenna had fuck-me pumps, a barely there skirt, and boobs with enough form and function they had to be man-made… Yeah that’s why Jenna ran; no reason sticking around just to make EJ look better.

“So, if it’s not to hold a man captive in your bedroom for the better part of a dozen orgasms, what did you want with him?”

“It’s a new fad called talking. I really enjoyed his company.”

“Him!” Brenda shrieked and ran to the window. “Him who? Who’d you meet?”

“No one.” Jenna turned around and opened the tube to lay out the blueprints. “A blind date that was for someone else.”

“What?”

“It’s a long story. When does Ferguson need these?”

“Three days ago,” Brenda smirked. “He’s on a rampage again.”

“Guess I get to have an all-nighter.”

“And not the fun kind.”

“Out.” Jenna pointed to the door as she prayed for some magical mystical power that would let all the hormones shoot from her index finger like a bolt of lightning. Sadly, her action only vanquished Brenda from her presence. Jenna moved her head from side to side and stretched. Taking a deep cleansing breath she looked down at floors one through six and was glad for the sprawling design to keep her mind where it needed to be.

Although she’d been on the project for over six months and triple checked the numbers herself, others had been adding their own nuances that could cause a catastrophic failure.

“Seriously Bennett, I put that wall in for a reason,” Jenna growled at the page. It had only been a half hour, but her focus had been singular to avoid looking up and into the park.

“Is Bennett your other personality?” A deep voice asked from behind her.

Jenna spun to see Marcus leaning against her doorjamb. Her heart skipped and wouldn’t you know, she got dizzy at the sight of him.

“No, if he was, I would have killed him off years ago,” she coyly replied while resting her ass on the table.

“There you are with the murder talk again.”

“It’s all a red herring. I’m really a master jewel thief.”

“I see now why I did so good on my detective’s exam. People just see me and spill their guts.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Well,” Marcus began as he pushed off the doorjamb and crossed the office to Jenna’s side. “I thought about statistics.”

“Statistics? Not my favorite math class, but I still did well.”

“What do you think the chances are that two guys named Kurt are related to two women named Jenna?”

 “Any relation or both siblings?”

“Any? The other one was Kurt’s cousin.”

“Mmm… well, it seems pretty statistically low.”

“That’s what I thought,” Marcus stepped even closer to Jenna, then tucked a stray hair behind her ear as a way to cradle her head in his hands.

“What else were you thinking?” Jenna whispered as blood filled her lips and a spicy smell had her breathing Marcus in.

“Meeting two Jennas in a park. What are the chances that one didn’t do a damn thing to me where another has been all I can think about.”

“Twenty-five percent.”

“Jenna, I’d really love to take you to dinner.” Marcus had leaned in so his lips tickled hers when he spoke. His confidence to step into her personal space made the proximity of his presence more than she could handle. The spinning in her head was the least of her problems as she felt a dampness between her weakening legs

“Just dinner?” she breathed, then put more space between them.

“I didn’t get to take you to a proper lunch.”

“I’m going to be stuck here late tonight.”

“There’s a Thai restaurant around here isn’t there?”

“Yes.”

“Can you work and eat at the same time?”

“Why not tomorrow night?”

“Statistically speaking, I fear you’ll forget me.”

“You leave quite an impression.”

“Do I now?”

“Yes.”

“I have to work tomorrow. My last girlfriend complained about my schedule getting in the way.”

“There’s your problem.”

“What’s that?”

“She was a girlfriend,” Jenna said. “A woman would have known you were worth the wait.”

The sly smile that ran across Marcus’ lips had Jenna’s nipples peaking and the usually soft fabric of her bra now burned against delicate skin. She could see why his ex wanted him around every second of everyday. Then again if she ever wanted to make partner in this firm she couldn’t let a hot guy distract her on a daily basis.

“Sunday night it is. Can I get your info or will you be here at seven?”

“A.M. or P.M.?” Jenna sighed.

“Work-a-holic?”

“You have your dreams, I have mine.”

“I like a girl that looks beyond the moment.”

“I’m an architect. I can see for centuries.”

“I want to know more about that on Sunday night.”

Brenda knocked on the glass wall beside her door with an apologetic face.

“Sorry, sorry,” Brenda inched past Marcus and placed another tube on Jenna’s desk. “Ferguson needs you to go over the casino and have a report for him by four-thirty.”

“Just tell me Bennett didn’t touch it,” she said with a sigh as her fingers rocked the three-foot-long tube back and forth on her desk.

“No, only partner candidates.” Brenda turned, scanned Marcus, then left. Thankfully Marcus had his back to Brenda when she bit her hand and made a very inappropriate gesture toward his ass.

Jenna smiled, then wrote her cell number on the back of her business card.

“Partner huh?” he said as he rocked back on his heels a little. Shit, shit, shit, Jenna thought.

“Well, there are some one-liners that only work in the boardroom.” She handed Marcus her card. “You don’t have to wait until Sunday to use that.”

“A man wouldn’t,” Marcus replied as he flicked the card with his finger and began walking backwards out of Jenna’s office.

Jenna collapsed into her chair and let it roll back until it hit her art desk, knocking her back into reality. Casino review in about two hours. The only good news was it would be a quick Q and A and not a full-fledged double spaced report.

“Oh, so you know,” Marcus popped his head back in her door and Jenna’s head shot up. “When you leaned down to write on your desk there…”

“What?” Jenna sucked in her breath, imagining the rest of Marcus coming in to finish what he started. Already his phantom hands were encircling her hips and— .

“You made me look forward to Sunday,” he said with a smirk and winked at her chest as he exited.

“How did you meet Mr. Drop My Panties?” Brenda asked as she practically fell into Jenna’s office.

Jenna had to pause a moment to compose herself. “You wouldn’t believe me.”

            What is it about athletes? Is it the body? The money? The stamina? When they move to the top levels they become the ultimate alphas. Focused on the task at hand. They push their bodies to the limits of human ability. Work hard, play hard. And who doesn’t want to play with someone that is always striving to the be the best at any physical endeavor.

            Then there’s the flip side. We see it more in singers, actors and reality show celebrities, but occasionally we can see the athletes as they start to fall. No matter who they are, one little slip can cost them everything. Unlike the rehab hopping celebrities, when an athlete slips up they can have a come back, but rarely are they fully forgiven or able to demand the figures they could before XYZ happened.

            When you put your trust in the people around you sometimes it’s hard to see beyond those who’ve been there from the start.

            As Sylvia enters Matthias’ world he soon learns his head has been in the sand too long. His focus on the game made him lose site of the world off the basketball court.

Picture
Are professional sports just children’s games played by oversized kids?

With an all-consuming focus Matthias Jessup has sacrificed his body in pursuit of greatness. But while he’s enjoyed the spoils of being an elite athlete, the physical punishment can only be held at bay for so long. He knows his time is running out and he will have to face his future soon.

Sylvia Kinder is obsessed with Matthias' public image. But now that her fantasy has walked into her life, could it possibly lead to a happy ending? She worries if there's any place for her in his world, much less his heart.

Drawn to each other on a chance meeting, Matthias must look off the court and discover the real world, while Sylvia will have to find the strength of self to not become lost in a world she doesn’t understand. But those who aren’t ready for a life after the game surround Matthias and are willing to do anything to keep him on the court.

Previously unreleased excerpt.

It had been a whole day with Silly and outside of her first failed attempt at teaching him to cook rice, it’d been a success.  While dinner cooked they lounged on the couch and Matthias learned Silly had her own guilty pleasure—court shows. Never had Matthias felt so relaxed or genuinely enjoyed his day. For the first time, basketball wasn’t the most important thing in the world. The woman below him was.

“Stop it,” Silly squealed and Matthias knew she didn’t mean it. He tickled her as she wiggled beneath him. “I’m gonna pee. I’m gonna pee.”

“That’s a twelve thousand dollar couch. Control your bladder.” 

Sharee made them both stop.

Silly arched her head back to look at Sharee standing over her in a lavender suit. How she walked in heels in this temperature was beyond him. But then again Sharee wouldn’t let a hurricane mess up her hair. Matthias didn’t let this uninvited guest move him from Silly. His body was staying where it was comfortable. On top of Silly with her legs wrapped around his waist. Silly seemed to think she should move.

“You can’t buy anymore furnishings. Twelve grand? Seriously Sharee?”

“Does everyone have a key to your house?” Silly whispered making Matthias laugh.

Sharee glared at Silly and he knew he’d have to move if for no other reason than to make Silly comfortable.

“Your coach is freaking out, I’d say you caught something in Dallas, but this appears to be local,” Sharee sneered at Silly.

“Yep,” Matthias grinned. “And I caught it all by myself like a big boy…you wanna know what else I did like a big boy.” 

Matthias was having too much fun getting Sharee worked up.

“Is she worth ten grand?” Sharee questioned with her arms crossed.

“Langston!” Matthias yelled while removing himself from on top of Silly. Langston didn’t appear, not that he was surprised.

“I’m not a hooker,” Silly barked.

“You’ve missed two practices. Five a piece.” Sharee wasn’t acknowledging Silly. She was talking like they were alone pissing off Matthias more.

“Yesterday every road in the city was closed, you know he’s not charging for that.” Sharee scoffed then looked out the window. “And as for today…I do get sick days. I took today. So back off.”

“Rumors have already started. They’re saying you’re looking at other teams, might not be able to play tomorrow. Should I tell them you didn’t get enough in Dallas?”

“Are you still pissed about that? You picked the girls didn’t you.”

Sharee shot him a look of shock.

“Oh, I found out. Didn’t Langston tell you? Guess me kickin’ his ass helped him finally learn to not run his mouth.”
