Hello! Thank you so
much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!
Q) Is this part of a series?
If so, tell us about it!
This story is the second book in my Lucky Bet series. The
first installment centered on Sam – the female of the group. After how well the
first book did and my enjoyment of the characters, I decided to write a second.
On a trip to the casino, Sam and her three college buddies (Dex,
Charlie, and Jackson) find themselves making something they refer to as “exotic
wagers”. They propose odd bets within the group, performing outlandish dares if
their spins on the machine produce a profit. The bets get silly, and the
friends become outrageous with their challenges. Jackson, Sam’s best friend and
old college roommate, throws out a dare for her– If she wins big, she has to
sleep with all of them.
After a wild night in bed with the guys, Sam finds herself plagued
with thoughts of Jackson. She thinks she might be falling in love with her best
friend, but can she convince him their night together was more than just some
silly bet?
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
After the first book, I felt Sam’s friend Dex had so much more to offer.
He helped the two main characters work out their differences and was such an
interesting character. I wanted to see him get his happily ever after too.
Q) What are your upcoming projects?
My next one will be the third installment in my Dating Tutor
series with Evernight Teen written under the pen name of Melissa Frost. This
story focuses on Matt, Alec’s (the main character from the last book) best
friend. I had such a fun time with it, because Matt was a more challenging
character than Alec. He didn’t want to fall in love or grow up. He wanted to be
that college jock that was all about partying. I had a great time finding out
all the hidden depths and emotions tied to this character.
Blurb:
While celebrating his parents’ anniversary at a
local casino, Dex Hawthorn is approached and seduced by friends, Arabella and
Parker. He takes both women to bed, all of them under the assumption the
evening is to be a one-night stand.
Only Dex
can’t stop thinking about Parker, and when his duties as a police officer
surprisingly force their paths to cross, he takes it as a sign that the two of
them are meant to have something beyond a single night of passion. Can he
convince Parker he can be a one woman man, and can he get this sexy yet strict
school teacher to open up her heart to him?
Excerpt: Seduced by the School Teacher
Dex was caught by surprise when Parker passed by
the elevators and shoved open the door to the stairwell. “The stairs?” he asked
as she started upward, still pulling him behind her.
“I’ve got to get your blood pumping somehow,”
Parker said over her shoulder with a teasing grin. “This seemed like a nice
start.”
Up and up they went. One floor. Two floors.
Three. On the landing of the fourth floor, Parker suddenly stopped. With a
giggle, she turned and shoved Dex back against the wall. “Finally, we’ve got
you alone.”
Before he could respond, her lips were grazing
his. Her fingers smoothed up his chest until she was able to grasp his collar.
That’s when her kisses became more demanding. She claimed him with lips, teeth,
and tongue.
A groan escaped against his will at the
domineering way she kissed him. He’d never had a woman be so forceful in taking
what she wanted, and it was a complete turn-on. His arms curved around her
waist, and he yanked her forward until her body pressed firmly against his own.
While he returned her kisses, he rocked his hips forward into hers, letting her
feel his growing erection.
He was so distracted by Parker and her demanding
lips, he’d nearly forgotten about Arabella until she suddenly dropped to her
knees at his side. While Parker continued to kiss him, her friend stroked Dex’s
leg through his jeans. She took her time, smoothing along the coarse fabric. In
slow, circular motions, her hand moved closer and closer to his groin.
Finally, she nudged Parker to the side so she
could press her palm flat against his dick. “Mmm, Parker, you picked us a big
one. Impressive.” Leaning forward, she nuzzled her cheek against the crotch of
his pants, emitting a soft purr.
Dex’s head fell back against the wall as
Arabella returned to her stroking. His hips arched in time with her movements,
thrusting his cock against her caressing palm.
“Hey now,” Parker chastised. “Don’t forget about
me.” She was now to the side of him, leaning against the wall. Gripping his
chin, she roughly turned his head in her direction, then she was kissing him
again.
He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been
kissed this good. Parker was so unbearably sexy. He couldn’t get enough of her,
and the feel of her nails grazing his neck sent chills through him. Her body
tucked perfectly against his side, as if the two of them fit together like
puzzle pieces. Her mouth seemed made for kissing. It was soft and tasted like
strawberries. He couldn’t get enough of it either.
Knowing exactly what was expected of him this
night, Dex didn’t hesitate in slipping his hand up Parker’s blouse. As their
mouths battled for control, he inched his fingers upward until he reached her
breasts. He stroked them through her bra. Her nipples pebbled under his touch,
drawing a groan of arousal from his throat.
At his feet, Arabella used delicate fingers to
undo his belt. With quick movements, she had his belt undone, the button of his
jeans loose, and the zipper down.
When Arabella began tugging his jeans and boxers
over his hips, he regretfully broke the kiss with Parker and pulled his hips
back slightly. “Hold on. Hold on! We’re in a public stairwell. I’m not sure—”
“Relax,” Parker said with a little giggle. “No
one ever uses these stairs.”
