Silver Flash – Miracles Happen Every Day!

It’s Silver Flash time again, yay! This week’s prompt was “It’s 4 A.M and…this is what I’ve done with it.

WARNING! It’s a Hot one again this week folks, so maybe you should read it in private to save your blushes…or not, it’s up to you!

Miracles Happen Every Day.

Janice opened her eye and blinked. The red dashes on her clock indicated that it was early morning but so early she should go back to sleep for a bit. Then she heard a noise. Someone was in her kitchen.

She swung her legs out of bed and realised she was naked. With no nightgown to hand she tugged the top sheet off the bed and slung it around her. Janice picked up the heavy crystal vase she inherited from her grandma on her way past the window sill. It would be a shame to break it but she had nothing else to whack a burglar with.

Janice took a deep, steading breath and sneaked through the door into the living room. The light was on in the kitchen and she could hear the rolling bubble of her kettle boiling.

“Cheeky bugger,” she thought, “not only stealing my stuff, he’s making himself a brew, too.”

She continued to creep along towards the kitchen. The door was open so she held herself close to the jamb and looked around the edge, hoping he didn’t look towards the door as her curves were not exactly hard to miss.

“What are you doing?” James asked and Janice jumped. She managed not to drop the vase and just stared at him.

“I could ask you the same!” She gasped, “It’s 4 A. M and you’re waltzing around my kitchen like you own the place.”

“I woke up hungry. You were fast asleep so I didn’t disturb you, I’d obviously worn you out.”

Janice flashed back to James fucking her, not once, not twice, but three times the previous day. She blushed.
“But…but…I thought you’d gone home.”

“I was going to but you fell asleep and I just couldn’t bear to pull myself away from your warm, cuddly curves so I nodded off too.”

“I thought you were a burglar.” She said as he walked over and took the vase from her hands.

“Well, I didn’t think you were going to do a bit of middle of the night flower arranging.”

She laughed and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

“You scared me half to death, I’m not used to having someone else in here with me.”

“I’m sorry, I was trying to be quiet. I didn’t mean to startle you.” He kissed her then and she accepted his apology without saying a word. His wandering hands knocked the lose material off her shoulders and the sheet slipped down and revealed her naked body. She gasped and grabbed for the falling material but he caught her hand and stilled it.

“I like you naked,” he said and nibbled her neck.

“It’s cold,” she replied, “and this lighting is harsh and well, you’re hot.”

“So are you,” he said, “beautiful curves, gorgeous smile, vibrant eyes. Damn, I’ve been captivated by your hotness as long as I’ve known you.” His fingers traced around her breasts, tickled her nipples and slipped down her stomach to the juncture of her thighs. “Thank God that lift broke down and gave me the chance to touch you, to feel you, to fuck you.”

“Yes,” she gasped as his fingers slipped against her clit, “oh hell, yes. I’ve been watching you too.”

Janice took a shuddering breath as his finger stroked her to arousal. “I knew you were the hottest man I’d ever seen the moment I first saw you. I’ve fantasised about you in so many sexual ways over the last few months and I can barely believe this is real. I’m sure it’s still a dream.”

“It’s not,” he insisted and she bumped her back on the edge of the kitchen counter. James winked at her suggestively then pulled up on her hips until Janice got the idea and pulled herself up to sit on the very edge of the very cold counter.
“It’s freezing,” she yelped.

“It’s okay,” he replied and nodded towards his crotch, “this is fucking on fire.” James pushed his underwear down his legs and revealed his erection. He pulled her thighs wide around him, pushed forward poised on his toes and slid his cock deep inside her. He didn’t waste a moment in fucking her. Thank God, the top was cold and hard and she kept hitting her head on the wall behind her. James was on his toes, he must have been hurting too but their heat and passion and need for release just overrode the pain signals and turned it to pleasure.

“I’m going to come,” he yelled and she dug her nails into his shoulders as he roared and stopped with his cock buried deep inside her. He shuddered as he released and held her hips tightly.

“I’m not finished,” she said as he pulled away. Janice was now more desperate to come than she was for comfort so she worked her fingers up and down her wet slit. James watched. She was no longer shy, she reveled in his stare.

“Fuck, you’re amazing,” he said as she whimpered and rubbed all the faster. “Come for me, baby.” He whispered and a second later she did.

“I love you,” she cried as she came then clamped her hand over her mouth as she realised what she had said.

“I love you too,” James smiled and wrapped her in his embrace before the panic took control.

“I didn’t mean-well I did-but I didn’t mean to blurt it out like that.” Janice gasped.

“It’s okay,” he pressed his lips to the centre of her forehead, “I’m just glad you’ve given me permission to tell you I love you too. I didn’t want to freak you out but I know this is something special.”

“It really is,” she said, it really, really is. Now, where’s that cup of tea you were making, I’m parched.”

Their laughter mingled and combined in a harmony special only to them. True love blossomed from a seed sewn in a broken lift. Miracles happen every day.

I think that was the last chapter with Janice and James. Next week I’m going to do something different. I hope you enjoyed the flash!

Friends Friday – Cari Z Plays well with Others!

Learning To Play Nice With Others

playnice

Kids are given a lot of aphorisms to try and live their lives by, things that adults tell them are simply necessary for their health and wellbeing. There’s “Go play outside,” a perennial favorite. “Clean your plate,” which is one that kids in this part of the world have absolutely no problem with. Another popular one over here is, “Don’t speak unless spoken to.” In a country where public schools have anywhere from 50-100 students in a single class, that’s a big one. Then there’s the ubiquitous, “Play nice,” which sounds more like an opinion than an order, but that’s the one that’s been on my mind lately.

I know that kindergarten is long past and I’ve been playing nice with others for several decades now, but working out how to do that with regards to my writing has been a gradual and much more surprising learning process than I’d originally thought. It’s one thing to write conflict into a story and have my people, whoever they are, solve it according to my say so. It’s another to have someone else comment on the conflict in my story, but this isn’t actually a post about reviews. It’s a post about collaboration.

I’ve always admired authors who could write something together and actually manage to get it to the point where they were both satisfied enough to publish. It seemed to me that that had to be a huge challenge, not just opening yourself and your process up to someone else but being willing to compromise and work through creative differences. If you write fiction like I do, you know how incredibly possessive you can be of your characters. They’re your crew, your children, your wet dreams. Having someone else in there messing with them can just feel weird. And then there’s the fact that whoever you’re working with is probably thinking the same thing about you sticking your nose into their work as well. Clearly it can be done, however, and for some people, the results are incredible.

Up until very recently I wasn’t really inclined towards collaborating. I’m a Peace Corps volunteer living in a small town in West Africa where the electricity is sporadic, the internet scarce and the heat enough to prostrate you for most of the day. It’s hard to make myself write for me some days, never mind writing with the idea of handing it over to someone else. Besides, who has the patience to wait for days or even weeks when technology’s tenuous grip on the region slips and I’m incommunicado? Even people who are related to me take that kind of hard (Mom, seriously, I’ll make up for it this Mother’s Day, I promise!). However, someone found me, charmed me and made the offer, and I decided to give it a try.

I’m in the throes of a major project with my coauthor now, and it’s fascinating. Our styles are so disparate that I wondered if we’d be able to stitch them together at all in the beginning, but it’s turning into a much richer way of writing than I had anticipated. There are stumbling blocks, character quirks and plot devices that are gently disputed, but everything so far has been handled with grace and efficiency, at least on her part. I’ve managed to be reliable, which is about all I can say for myself at the moment, but I can’t deny that it’s been mostly fun, and all fascinating. Anyone who’s written with someone else before and feels like throwing me their two cents, please do, because I’m pretty new to the potential rewards and challenges of this work and can always use another perspective.

Eventually I’ll post some excerpts of our joint work on my blog, and people who are familiar with my stuff will no doubt notice the difference at once. In the interim, though, I’m going to direct the interested towards another type of collaboration that I love to participate in: anthologies. Anthologies are fun because for those with themes, you know the authors all took the same basic idea, and then you get to see the myriad of ways that they ran with it. My latest release is the erotic romance Nothing Ventured, published in the Phaze Books anthology Silver Wings. The theme is m/m and m/m/f steampunk and there are three other excellent stories included. You can find it here

I valiantly struggle against the forces of oppression, circumstance and, you know, laziness to maintain my own blog at http://carizerotica.blogspot.com. There are links to my work, free serial stories, and occasional rants in which I swear I’m going for humor. Visit. Peruse. Follow me to the other bizarre places I like to invent.

Victoria, you are a model collaborator, case in point. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to chat on your awesome blog.

Bio: Cari Z is originally from Colorado, where she imagines it snowing with guilty pleasure. She and her husband currently live in Western Africa, where snow is so foreign that it defies the capacity of her poor French to describe. She’s been writing for many years, publishing for a few years and trying to get the hang of blogging and the like for less than a year, but it’s slowly coming together. She loves visitors, but she doesn’t expect you to fly all the way to Africa to see her. Come and visit her blog instead.

Silver Flash – Shall I continue?

posted in FlashFiction | Tagged: ,

Happy Wednesday, folks. It’s Silver Flash time again, yay! This week we have the third installment in the romance between James and Janice which started out in a lift at work and moved onto his office and now is continuing in Janice’s flat. The prompt for this week was “Don’t look at me like that.” and this is what I did with it.

baby

WARNING! It’s a Hot one again this week folks, so maybe you should read it in private to save your blushes…or not, it’s up to you!

8 O’Clock

There was a loud knock at the door at precisely 8pm. Janice shouldn’t have expected anything less. She rushed to the front door and opened it, her heart thumping and her blood whizzing through her body at one hundred miles per hour.

“I believe you’re expecting me,” he said with a cheeky grin, “though I doubt you were expecting these.” James handed her a huge bunch of flowers.

“Wow, thank you, these are so pretty.” She was taken aback, she really hadn’t expected a gift.
“You’re welcome. When I go to a person’s house for a meal I take a bottle of wine, I didn’t know what to bring when I was coming to a flat to fuck.”

He walked in from the hallway and Janice just hoped no one had heard him.

“What? Don’t look at me like that, you know exactly why I am here.”

“Well yes,” she replied, “it doesn’t need to be announced to the world though does it!”

“If I decide I want the world to know I am fucking the most curvy, most sexy, most delicious woman I work with then I am going to tell them and there is nothing you can do to stop me.” He pulled the flowers from her hands and placed them on the coffee table. “Now where is your bedroom, I’ve had a hard day and I feel the need to lie down.”

Janice was stunned but found herself showing him to the bedroom. It was only as she opened the door she wondered how tidy it would be.

“Good bed.” He sat down on it and bounced gently, “join me to give it a thorough testing?”

She sat beside him and grinned.

“That’s not quite what I meant.” He pushed her back and she squealed, “we need to give it a more thorough test than that.”

He turned himself round and climbed over to straddle her before Janice had time to react.

“Nice view,” James said, looking deep into her cleavage then he leant in and kissed her. She kissed back fiercely and pushed her body up against him. Quickly she exerted her strength and tumbled him to the bed beside her and clambered on top of him.

“I think you might prefer this view,” she said and boldly threw off her top and unfastened her bra.

“It certainly has its merits,” James replied with a moan as she rolled her hips and pressed harder against the bulge in his trousers, “I’m willing to try it out for a while longer.” He reached up with both hands and cupped her breasts. His thumbs gently brushed against her nipples which made Janice all the more desperate to feel him inside of her.

She snapped open the button of her jeans and began to slip them off her hips. She paused as she wondered how best to disrobe and the hesitation gave James the opportunity to pounce. With a joyful cackle he pushed her off him and as she once more screamed and impacted against the soft duvet he rolled over and placed himself between her thighs. As she slapped out at him for scaring her he ducked down and slipped off the end of the bed pulling her jeans and underwear with him.

She closed her legs self-consciously and started to shift to her side unwilling for him to see her from that angle, the angle which would expose her rounded stomach to him.

“Ah a,” he cried and held her legs open with his strong hands, “I want to admire this view, it is fast becoming my very favourite. He pulled her lower so her bottom rested on the very edge of the bed and pushed her thighs further open. She was hot and flustered, scared and aroused and she didn’t know whether to push him away or pull him closer to her open slit.

He made the decision for her as he dipped his head forward and slid his tongue down between her wet, open lips. She gasped which highlighted the deep rumble of his moan as he lapped eagerly at her open pussy. He pressed his tongue inside her then teased it around her clit. He continued to test her, to explore every inch of her soft silken flesh until he found the rhythm that made her moan, pant and squeal for more.

She came all over his lips her hands gripped the duvet as her body shook and rippled with the force of her passion. She barely had chance to take a shaky breath before he was standing between her thighs and pushing her over onto her knees. She made her shaky body obey his command and rolled over onto her front. She raised up onto her knees and pulled the pillows down to prop her up.

She was no longer embarrassed to expose her body to his gaze. She knew it excited him and all she wanted was to feel him inside of her. As he pushed his cock between her thighs and he slipped so easily into her she let out a groan of contentment. He banged into her with a frenzied vigour. He had made sure she was satisfied and now it was all about his need for orgasm. His fingers gripped her hips as his pelvis pummeled her buttocks repeatedly.

“Yes, Janice,” he groaned and mumbled in the throes of his passion. She loved that her body made the erudite boss of a multi-million corporation moan incoherently.

“Fuck Janice, Fuck,” His fingers dug into her waist and she knew he was about to come a second later he stilled and growled out the completion of his orgasm. He stood for a moment , panting then released his grip on her hips and stepped back.

“I think this is my favourite view,” He said and she turned and craned her head to see him over her shoulder, “No, this is better, I can see your smile.”

Now here’s the question, shall I continue with James and Janice for next weeks flash or shall I start on something new? Let me know what you think!

Rich Hunk on the Horizon.

posted in Blog |

Hello folks, did you have a good weekend?

It suddenly hit me yesterday that it is now only 2 weeks until my next book, Artistic Sights, Heavenly Delights, is released!

art

He paid her to paint his portrait but he really wanted to steal her heart.

Hermione is an independent, single mother who has caught the eye of Philip Haughtington, society high-flyer and well known heart breaker.

He wants to seduce her and she is determined to resist but how long will she be able to hold out against his looks, charm and firm, commanding hand?

Now some of you who’ve known me for a while may well recognise the title of this story and yes, it has been released before BUT it has been extensively added to and scenes have been chopped and changed and now you get the full story of Hermione and Philip instead of just a glimpse into their life.

Here’s a little pre-release snippet to get you excited for the Artistic Sights, Heavenly Delights release!

The last time Hermione had walked down such a grand hall was when she’d visited a stately home on a school trip. She felt like she was in a museum and the setting just emphasized how different her circumstances were. She didn’t usually consider herself poor. Yes, she had to work hard to look after herself and her daughter, but they always had food to eat and bills got paid. But compared to the affluence of Philip’s home she was a pauper.

She had been wrestling with Philip’s offer all night and had on a couple of occasions fantasised about things going further, a relationship developing and all that would come with that. She had really convinced herself that it could work, they weren’t so different after all. Those dreams showed themselves as what they were as Hermione walked through the chandelier-hung halls to a neglected room that was bigger than her whole flat.

“Will this be okay?” he asked. “It’s not the most comfortable of rooms but the windows are huge.”

“Yeah, this will work,” she said. “I may need some artificial light because there is not much of the real stuff outside right now.” A gust of wind forced the rain against the window with a heavy clatter to emphasise her point. “I’m not quite sure where you should stand or sit, I could do with you in a similar position to that on the log the other day…so I can do some work on your body.”

A flash of rough bark against skin and his hand on her arse coursed through her mind and heated her cheeks.

“Hmm, that’ll be good,” he replied with a smirk. “If I lean up on the back of this sofa here, that’s pretty similar, right?”

Hermione nodded. “I can do you from the waist up there at least.”

“Damn, I was hoping you’d work from the waist down.”

“Would you stop that,” Hermione barked. “I just want to get on with this painting, all right?”

“Okay.” He stared at the floor “I’m sorry. I don’t want to upset you.”

“Well, just sit there and behave then,” she snapped, harder than she meant to really but she was flustered and vulnerable. If he made a move on her she would not be able to resist.

Look out for more snippets between now and the 28th April and be ready for wonder of Wednesdays, the much anticipated Silver Flash!
