WCK has a top rating in Charity Navigator. The organization started with two people and an idea\u2014an inspiration to all of us who wonder if “I” can make a difference! You can. WE can! I hope you will comment below and help me make a good donation to World Central Kitchen.<\/p>\n Blurb:<\/strong> In this tale, Charlotte dreams of her prince, James, but learns about beauty and love from her fairy godfather, Cooper. She might not lose a glass slipper, but her heart is in danger of being left behind. One thing for sure, by the time our Charlotte arrives at the ball, she\u2019d sure like to know which man is her real Prince Charming.<\/p>\n Buy link: Excerpt: She backed away and lifted the ends of her mouth slightly, suddenly very nervous. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t want to leave all of the clean up to you. I\u2019ll help.\u201d She turned back to the sink. Cooper leaned against the counter with his arms crossed.<\/p>\n \u201cCharlotte, don\u2019t be scared of me.\u201d<\/p>\n She looked at him in amazement. \u201cScared of you? I\u2019m not scared of you, I\u2019m scared of myself.\u201d She looked down into the sink where she rubbed the dishcloth over the same spot on a glass. Cooper took the glass from her and put it in the dishwasher.<\/p>\n \u201cI think this is clean enough,\u201d he said. He gently pushed her out of the way and finished rinsing the dishes in the sink. When he was done, he turned to look at her as she stared out the patio door, into the dark.<\/p>\n Charlotte had put the kettle on for tea while Cooper was busy at the sink, and the whistle abruptly blew, shattering the quiet that had fallen over the kitchen. When Charlotte turned to get the kettle, she ran into Cooper\u2019s broad chest.<\/p>\n He put his hands on her arms to steady her, then before she could move away, bent his head for a light kiss. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to be scared of either one of us,\u201d he said, raising his lips a whisper above hers. \u201cWe\u2019re friends, aren\u2019t we?\u201d He brushed his lips gently over hers. \u201cAnd friends shouldn\u2019t be so nervous around each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Nipping at her lips he pulled her with him to turn off the kettle, diminishing the whistle to a muted burbling noise. \u201cDo you really want tea?\u201d he asked, his voice suddenly deeper. She shook her head, never moving her eyes away from his. A faint smile crossed his face. \u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n Cooper stood back from Charlotte. \u201cHere\u2019s your first lesson,\u201d he said. \u201cLook at me and tell me what you see.\u201d Charlotte gazed into his face, intently searching for some hint of what he meant. Her brow puckered as she studied him.<\/p>\n \u201cYour eyes look darker than normal, and a little\u2026intense.\u201d He smiled and nodded his head.<\/p>\n \u201cRight.\u201d He kissed her quickly, running his hands up and down her arms. \u201cAnything else you notice about me that\u2019s different?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYour voice sounds funny.\u201d Cooper winced slightly. \u201cI mean different. Deeper, kind of hoarse,\u201d she added lamely.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s okay. Those are both signs that a man is getting turned on. Usually they\u2019re accompanied by lots of touching like I\u2019m doing now. And then there\u2019s the obvious indication.\u201d He glanced at his fly and Charlotte followed his look. Her eyes widened as she saw the thick, long bulge straining against his jeans.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing turned on often happens just through touch and sight, but real seduction happens using all of the senses. Smell is really important, not just with perfume but also a person\u2019s normal scent, soap or shampoo, and certainly the scent that comes when a man and woman are ready for each other or after they\u2019ve just been together.\u201d He leaned forward. \u201cYour hair smells like fresh air right after a rain. Now I\u2019ll always associate that with you.\u201d<\/p>\n He leaned away to look into her eyes. Charlotte was staring intently at Cooper, concentrating on all he was telling her. \u201cSound lets your partner know when something feels good, or when it isn\u2019t exactly what you want. Little whispers of how you feel are something I like, although not everyone does.\u201d Leaning in again he put his mouth against her ear. \u201cWill you let me know when I do something you like, Charlotte? For instance, do you like it when I run my tongue along the edge of your ear?\u201d As he did, she inhaled sharply, then let out a ragged sigh. She nodded.<\/p>\n He leaned back to see her face and smiled. \u201cGood. I liked it, too. Did you know that the tongue is incredibly sensitive and that it\u2019s covered in taste buds? That lets me taste you, Charlotte, and sampling your flavor is very erotic, both in your mouth and in other places.\u201d He nipped at her lips, but didn\u2019t push her to go farther.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t know it was so complicated.\u201d She sounded breathless.<\/p>\n He laughed low in his throat. \u201cIt isn\u2019t really. I\u2019ve probably explained it badly. Much nicer to learn from experience. Come on.\u201d He took her hand and flipped the light out in the kitchen.<\/p>\n Author Dee S. Knight:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n A few years ago, Dee S. Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex.<\/p>\n After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for m\u00e9nage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website (www.nomadauthors.com). Fortunately, Dee\u2019s high school sweetheart is the love of her life and husband to all three ladies!

<\/a>I’m sad to say that my charity of choice this month has to do with helping our fellow citizens put food on their tables. This past year has devastated many households\u2014mostly by loss of jobs or by striking down those who could work. World Central Kitchen<\/a> helps folks get nutritious meals all over the world, but this year, during the trials of COVID-19, they have worked within the U.S. Their mission is: “WCK uses the power of food to heal communities and strengthen economies through times of crisis and beyond.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>For my book this month, I’d like to introduce you to The Cinderella Curse<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, on sale now as pre-order. In it, one man makes a huge difference in Charlotte Gambrell’s life by showing her her own beauty.<\/p>\n
\nOne evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a story for the amusement of her husband. Like the original tale, this contemporary Cinderella<\/em> is definitely for those who love romance and a HEA. However, she adds a few touches of the erotic. For her husband, you understand.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>When they finished eating, Charlotte started rinsing the dishes for the dishwasher. Cooper took a plate out of her hand and put it in the sink. \u201cLeave that. I\u2019ll get it later.\u201d He dried her hands with the dishtowel and looked intently into her eyes.<\/p>\n
