Another little tease...from Falling Into Love...

Okay, ladies and gents, here is another glimpse into the world of touring 101...LOL!

Excerpt

“Can I talk to you?”

I zoned out for a moment before I looked up and faced Seth. He was high but far from out of it. I stood and followed him into the restroom before he closed the door and locked it behind us.

My heart began to race but not for the reasons he probably thought as I whipped around to face him. “Why did you do that?”

“Cut the bullshit, Syd. Is Talia leaving me? I’m not stupid and I know she never came back to bed last night. She slept on the sofa opposite of you and what was with you staying with us anyway?” he inquired as he clutched a bottle of Jack Daniels and swigged from it.

“Talia doesn’t plan to go anywhere as far as I know. Yes, she likes to talk to Kris and Kaz but I can assure you nothing is going on with either guy. For some reason unknown to me, she still loves you very much. She won’t leave you because she believes she would be abandoning you. What that has to do with you would have to ask her. She didn’t tell me about your relationship in detail…I have no idea what happened to you as a kid,” I explained in a neutral voice before I finished my Ginger Ale and wished I had another.

Seth’s gray-green eyes stared me up and down before his eyes lingered on my breasts and finally dragged back up to my face. “You’re not preggers, are you? You had that greenish look to you when you came back from the stadium area but now you look pretty healthy to me.”

“That’s none of your business to be honest but since inquiring minds want to know, no, I am not. I think I ate something that didn’t agree with me and I have been sick for the last few days.”

“Yeah, that’s what Talia told me when I inquired why she wasn’t feeling well. Then the next thing I know she’s lookin’ fresh and glowing like a goddamn two hundred watt light bulb. You bitches seem to love to have babies sucked out of you but you never think about us and how we might feel. Men sure do get the short end of the stick in society.”

I felt like I had been slapped in the face.

One, Seth was a drug user, and therefore loose-lipped. The last thing I needed was him telling all his band mates what he suspected because eventually Kaz would find out. I couldn’t have that because he would think I didn’t want his baby when to be the mother of his future children was all I wanted but was our relationship strong enough to deal with one right now?

Have a great evening!

Saturday Night Teaser

In case you follow both of my blogs, just know the teases aren't always the same. The tease on Sunday's Elle Chadou blog won't be the same as the one I am about to post here. Enjoy!

Excerpt:

“I noticed Syd still isn’t speaking to you. Do you know she shared a suite with Seth and I last night? Thank God there is a sitting room because she passed out on one sofa and I passed out on the other. I couldn’t sleep with Seth, not when he was out cold due to a dose of hillbilly heroin. I could kill that fucker.”

“You can always leave, you know. I can call up Dominic and get you two separate suites if you like.”

Talia eyed the cigarette he was smoking with unfulfilled wanting before she focused on his gaze again. “That’s all right. It will be just an extra expense and besides, if it ever got that bad, I would just shack up with Misty and Keren. They’re decent enough…for biker chicks.”

Kaz took mercy on Talia and offered her his cigarette which she snatched quickly and took a long drag before she inhaled and exhaled slowly. “I almost forgot what these tasted like. I have been smoke-free for almost two years and now look what my boyfriend has reduced me to but…it’s like that song. I can’t break free from him and I hate it but at the same time, if he was so unbearable, couldn’t I just cut loose of him?”

“No, because love doesn’t work that way and we both know it…don’t we, Kasper?”

Both Kaz and Talia turned to see Syd standing there with her camera still in her hands.

“Do you mind if I take this?” Talia inquired as she held up Kaz’s cigarette.

“Nope.”

“Cool, we’ll chat later.” She walked off quickly and soon it was just him and Syd, face to face.

“Listen, I know I fucked up last night—”

“Why are you blaming yourself when it is my problem?” she questioned in a bitter tone. “I’m the one who can’t accept you aren’t ready to be serious about me and it just scares me because I don’t want to lose you. You don’t have to be with me—hell, Talia was drooling over your every word and she’s a good person but anyone with half a brain can see she is looking for an out. She doesn’t really want to be with Seth but at the moment, she doesn’t have a choice.”

Syd walked closer until they were less than five feet from one another. “I don’t want to lose you, Kaz. It’s not worth it and I can deal with your problems but you need to let me in and stop shutting me out because you think I will just fall apart and not be able to take what you can dish out.

“I’m not a child. I entered this relationship with my eyes open and I knew what I would have to face. Please don’t do this to me and don’t try to minimize what we have. I love you and I know you love me too but if you can’t say it then I can deal with that and I won’t ever push you to say anything before you’re ready. Are you feeling me?”

He pulled her into an embrace and held her tightly. “Yeah, I’m feeling you. But…the only thing is I do love you, Sydney. I love you so much and I don’t want to lose you over words I was too much of a coward to say. Do you forgive me?”

She smiled into his eyes and his heart melted. Everything he’d planned with his head had all been forgotten about because his dick was now firmly in charge.

Kaz knew her game and yet, he still couldn’t bring himself to care. This chick had him utterly and thoroughly pussy-whipped; if that weren’t bad enough, she had him heart-whipped too because he couldn’t think about being with anyone but her and to a man like him, that was not only a scary thought but one, which made him wonder if he’d ever had control over this particular situation?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Wednesday Tease from Falling Into Love...

Here is another little tease from Falling Into Love. 

Enjoy!

Excerpt

Kaz swigged from his scotch. “You’re wrong about me. I don’t judge a woman by their class. Both Keren and Damira had nothing and I loved them. I am best friends with Jaden—his father is president of Lucifer’s Saints. You don’t think we haven’t had to go parties and play just because? I have had plenty of club ass but I also protect myself and make sure I kept a supply of condoms.

“I’m not nearly as discriminatory as you think I am. I have dated all kinds and I enjoyed my whorish lifestyle for a long time. When I drank and did coke like it was going out of style, I wasn’t all that picky. As long as I could prove the woman had a pussy and she looked decent, she could hop on my cock. Why do you think Damira hates me? I may not have cheated on her during these fucking concert tours but I sure as fuck wasn’t completely faithful to her.”

Syd strolled over to him and grabbed his glass before she drained the scotch. “I’m not a village idiot, Kaz. I know you were no choir boy and this is all fascinating but what does this have to do with you not being able to tell me you love me? Either you do or don’t and if you can’t tell me you love me then I’m sleeping in Misty’s and Keren’s suite tonight.”

Kaz laughed out loud. “Are you threatening me? Go ahead—fuckin’ stay with them because that isn’t going to get me do anything I don’t want to do. I told you I would tell you I loved you when I was ready and that time hasn’t come yet.”

Syd grabbed a Lalique crystal vase and threw it at the wall where it shattered; roses and water decorated the beautiful mess on the Persian rug. “You fucking asshole. If that is gonna be your attitude then fuck you! You can jerk off tonight because I won’t be here to pick up the pieces!”

She grabbed her handbag and slammed her way out of their suite. Unfortunately, she’d forgotten her card key in the middle of her tirade.

Fucking women…couldn’t live with them and couldn’t live without them.

Kaz cleaned up the mess and set a white bath towel to soak up the excess water on the rug before he grabbed his card key and left the suite.

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Cover Reveal for Falling Into Us (One More Night Trilogy)!

Blurb

“Kaz asked me a simple question and offered a way out. He said I could stay here and visit him on tour when ever I wanted but I am tired of feeling vacuous and useless so I said yes. I could use my photography skills and I’d been to plenty of concerts but never have I gone on tour with a band. The concerts are amazing but Scarlet Fever and Winter’s Regret are a formidable combination and just as in life as in art, nothing is ever what it appears to be. Even the most perfect paintings have slight imperfections and I have to discover them one by one…about Kaz, my lover, and the man I have come to adore…”

Part two of Syd and Kaz’s exploration takes place in dual points of view and covers the North American leg of the Gods of Rock World Tour with Scarlet Fever and Winter’s Regret. Kaz thought he knew what he was doing when he decided to enter into a relationship with Sydney but his underestimation of her might cost him everything including the self-control he has held on to so tight for many years.

Can he mold her into the woman he needs her to be or will she break him in the end?

Last Teaser Before Falling Into Us premieres on Tuesday, May 28th!

Okay, last one before the premiere and I am mercilessly teasing you on purpose with this teaser...

Add to Goodreads!

Excerpt

“Are you all right?” a feminine voice inquired.

I looked up to see Talia and realized my cheeks were wet. I was crying like some little bitch teeny-bopper out of a goddamn Taylor Swift video. Jesus Christ, when had I been reduced to this?

I carefully wiped my cheeks, careful not to smudge my waterproof mascara but one could never be too sure. “I’m fine.”

Talia continued to stare at me as if she actually felt sorry for me and I would rather have been hated than pitied. What a useless fucking emotion pity was and she didn’t know me. She couldn’t possibly understand what I was going through.

She finally sat beside me and sipped from her mojito. “You don’t look it. Is Kaz putting you through an emotional hurricane? It looks like it from where I’m sitting.”

I sat up and glared at her with cold eyes. “Kaz and I are fine. I can assure you he’s not doing anything to me.”

“Hey, I’m from south Boston so don’t you ever try to bullshit a bullshitter. Your heart is a pulp beating in your chest and you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. One minute, you’re flying high and the next, you feel like the lowest piece of dog shit on earth. I know what you’re going through because I’ve been going through it with Seth since my sophomore year at Vassar. The man drives me absolutely crazy and I love and hate him at the same time.”

Her candid honesty was too close to home but would I admit it to myself let alone her?

“Yeah, that pretty much sums up my feelings for him,” I whispered as I picked invisible lint from my black cocktail dress.

“Want some advice? Whether you want it or not, I’m gonna give it to you anyway. Kaz and Seth are kindred spirits except he hides his through endless sexual escapades and my lover’s favorite escape is a combination of cocaine and Oxy. They are damaged goods and sometimes…you have to know when to let go and do what is best for you.”

She paused and set her right hand on my own folded in my lap. “I know you can’t leave the tour because you’re the official photographer. Concentrate on that and make him come to you. Don’t you dare fucking beg him for anything. He’s just going to get meaner and uglier to you as the tour goes on and you’ll be packing your bags the moment you’ve set foot back in his L.A. pad. Don’t ever make a man the center of your universe because the moment you do, they take that pulp of a heart you have and squeeze until they have used up the best of you. Do you want to take that bitter, evil bitch you will become after the fact into your future relationships?”

That's it for now folks but enjoy all the tension and buy the book on May 28th when it premieres! By the way, add it to your Goodreads TBR list NOW! ;-)

Happy Wednesday!

Saturday Night Teaser

An exciting new tease from the couple that are tailor made for one another...

Excerpt

Kaz laughed out loud. “Babe, you’re young. That ex-wife of mine is doing a documentary…are you any good with cameras?”

“You mean taking photos? I suppose so since I went to all the best schools and took a photography class. I can do the old-school photos where you have to soak them in solution but I prefer a digital camera to be honest. All you need is a laptop and you’re good to go.”

“Then stop being so hard on yourself because you do have skill. We usually hire a professional photographer because we like to document our concerts but you take the photos. Nothing that could get us into trouble but just candid shots. We usually then bundle them and make a book out of them. They’re a swag gift for hard-core fans…we don’t do it for the money. And of course it’s great to see how much we have changed over the years.”

His mouth had moved closer to mine the longer he’d spoken and when he was within reach, he kissed my lips and I immediately responded with an open mouth and accepted his tongue in my mouth. I tasted Macallan 30 but it was pleasant and sensual.

Kaz ended the kiss reluctantly. “What’s wrong with you sitting on your ass all day waiting for me to fuck you if I may ask?”

“Don’t be crude. I’d feel like a kept woman and I want to contribute…is that so bad? I suppose that is why I am jealous of your ex-wife. She’s got all this stuff going on and she must think I am some stupid, rich bimbo.”

“Those were her words more or less but why would you care what she thinks of you?”

I smiled slightly. “Because she still holds your heart and she’s the mother of your child. That means she can directly influence how he would feel about me…it’s a little scary because understand all this is new to me. I have never been in a relationship before and I don’t know what’s kosher and what isn’t? When do we move past the fucking stage into something more? What if you get tired of me and just want to offload me? That would devastate me because I am feeling so full of angst and indecision. I’m not good when I don’t know what to expect.”

Kaz’s hands slipped lower and caressed my collar bone before he slid my tube top down to reveal my breasts. “First of all, Damira doesn’t hold my heart anymore…I think I used her as a crutch. I didn’t want to hate her so I told myself I was still in love with her to lessen the pain. She’s Xander’s mother and I don’t want him growing up as fucked up as I did. It broke my heart and I somehow felt it was my fault my dad despised my mother with a passion.”

“What happened?” I wondered out loud.

“No more fucking small talk. I just want to fuck you right here, Syd.”

Mmm, hopefully that makes you interested in what's going to happen between these two...lots of sexy good times ahead!

Happy Mother's Day! A new teaser! ;-)

Here is another delicious teaser from Falling into Us! ;-)

Excerpt

Kaz turned away from me but it had more to do with what he was thinking about rather than avoiding my gaze. “We have two well-known druggies on tour. They have relapsed after very expensive rehab stays and this could pose as an issue.”

“Don’t drugs and rock stars usually go together?” I tried to make a joke out of it but the way he looked at me when our eyes met told me loud and clear he wasn’t buying what I was selling.

“It’s a little 80s and 90s of a concept, yes, but at one time, most rockers and hip hop stars used drugs and didn’t even hide their addictions. Just so you know I am not some health freak, I have no problem with drugs—I’d rather not use them because I have a fairly straight forward personality. I loved getting high when we first made it but it got old and it was no longer fun. I stopped using cold turkey.

“I might have the odd hit off a joint every now and then because I have a weakness for well-grown marijuana but I don’t do anything harder than that. It’s my policy—not Introspect Records. They couldn’t give a crap what we did as long as we performed our jobs to the best of our abilities and didn’t go on stage noticeably high where people would make comments and the rumor mills would start.”

I played with several strands of my hair. “I take it these members you are talking about aren’t recreational users, then?”

“No. I mean, they pretty much have addiction issues. They do coke to function and then they take hillbilly heroin to come down. The worst part is the OxyContin is prescribed by our tour physician so if they are caught with it, they won’t get busted. They aren’t stupid enough to carry coke on them, especially when the physician gives them Adderall or Ritalin. It’s not as good as cocaine but it will do in a pinch and it’s legal. Plus Jaden has a lifetime prescription since he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was ten.”

I suddenly stood and began to pace. “Damn. Does Faith know?”
