He braced himself. “So tell me.”
Sadie ran a canine over her lower lip, eyes darting around for a moment, preparing herself to tell her husband the worst part. The worst part was all he’d ever asked for. A hand job. To her it was the worst part, but somehow the prelude she described was a million times worse. Never saw it coming. Young guy in law school—second year, what was that, twenty-three, maybe—a big guy, as big as him, but so muscular he looked like a superhero...

When it was done he lay with her, both of them naked on their bed, sun and breeze coming in the opened doors, the curtain gently dancing, an oblong of bright burning hot on the floor. He stroked her hair, her neck, cupped her shoulder; she stared in his eyes. Neither of them spoke for a long while, happy but unsure in the moment. But at least they were reunit...

It was a real shitty thing to do to him, but he wasn’t even mad right now, just so happy to see her safe and alive. It was near the Bayside Restaurant’s patio deck he caught up with her, but still stayed twenty yards back, ducking aside to keep himself hidden behind the hefty wooden post supporting a slanted awning.
Sadie wanted to cross thro...

There was a bar on the arrival jetty where he sat for almost two hours now. The jetty was where they’d disembarked when they arrived at the resort four days ago, and the bar had a deck patio on raised posts that connected to the jetty. But he wasn’t on the patio, wasn’t out in the sun and enjoying his vacation, instead he was under the shade of the open air bar, sitti...

Three-quarters of an hour later, she emerged on the beach again, sweaty but invigorated. After the yoga class, the hotel had provided fluffy, white towels, and she’d toweled off and chatted with some of the other women in her class while they all gathered themselves. Soon as she put the wrap on to walk back through the hotel, her body was pumping out heat to the point she worried her radiator would blow. Instant sweat again.
At least the yoga class had stretched out the sexual tightne...

Sadie was a real riot, and she left him chuckling, sitting in the lounger watching his movie but thinking of what she’d said. She’d sashayed all the way up the beach, swinging those hips, and he watched until those flip-flops of hers mounted the back steps to the deck, and she disappeared beyond the tall doors of the hotel.
He smirked. “Thanks, Sadie. I guess I’ll find the server myself.”
The server found him in due time, and he ordered a Dos Equis with two limes. Then h...

Everything changed their fourth day at the resort. They woke to blissful early morning sunshine. It flooded their villa; their heads turned on the pillows, looking at each other. They beamed. The rain was over.
She begged Graham to come run with her, but he complained about a bad back. Bad back, my ass. She knew he’d take a break from exercise whe...

It was like every bit of strength inside him leaked from his husk after he’d come. It took a tremendous effort to heave his weight off Sadie, and he collapsed beside her. They both panted heavily, skin slick with sweat. There was a thin whistle in his breath. It sounded like that first morning he’d taken up running last summer.
“Holy shit,” he said.
“That was intense,” she laughed.
“So intense,” he said, and they lay there blinking, looking up at the...

Arms tangled, mouths locked on one another, they stumbled across the room. Teddy lead her on her high heels, clacking backward as their suite door closed behind them. They fell on the bed, Teddy on top of her. His hardness pressed her stomach. One of his hands reached down, grabbed her skirt and hiked it up.
“Put it in me,” she told him.
He kissed her with hunger, and she ran her nails on his back. He unzipped, belt buckle jingling and jangling as it levered open. They shimmie...

What the hell kind of notes did she write?
That’s what consumed him now . . .
There was a mental image he had of Sadie that he couldn’t shake. In the first year of college, Sadie had been in McKenzie House. He didn’t know her then, but he’d had friends in McKenzie House so he knew what the dorms looked like. He had this picture of...

The hot dog thing was pretty funny, though she could tell Graham got squirmy, worried she was unhappy. One thing that could turn her Teddy’s smile upside down was her displeasure. It was the biggest turn-on. You could search a long time and never find a man like Graham, one who doted—but not out of controlling, not out of jealousy. Graham cared about her for real. Excellent father material, and damn if back in college her lady-genes didn’t pick up on that and send her swooning into spac...

Hokay! I do have a situation here and that's why I went darkish. Things aren't good, ha ha, but I appreciate everyone asking after me.
First: I'm fine, it isn't me. But it's been a bad two weeks nonetheless. I hate divulging anything here, but you all are so good to me that I'd like to illuminate at least dimly. One close family member passed away. This wasn't unexpected, but it was early. And now my closest family member is facing a serious illness. That's the abridged version...

The walk north on the beach from the Cape Ginger steakhouse should have been peaceful. Instead it was filled with dread and the worst dark, twisting of regret he’d ever felt. What had he done? How selfish was he? He and Kimmy were playing a game against Devlin. Devlin had exposed to him in secret that he was onto them. Instead of supporting his teammate, he betrayed her. Let Kimmy go off with Devlin. Maybe he deserved this psychic torture.
The walk was a blur now, at home in the villa...

This may be only for the long-timers, but did we ever talk about the darker ending of Cherry Blossoms?
I don't remember if it ever came up in the comments.
There is a darker metaphysical ending (hail, Lord Crowley) that is right there unhidden and only for interpretation.
I wonder if anyone has a thought on this...

The Cape Ginger’s bathroom didn’t use liquid soap, they used bar soap, which was weird, except the bar was new and unused, and she wondered if they replaced them after every customer. Some sort of bathroom attendant lurking where she couldn’t see. The bar of soap was very small; shaped like a clamshell, not much bigger than a marble.
Hands washed and dried, she stood by the sink and held them out. They trembled. She laughed.
What on earth do you think you’re doing?

Maggie told her that Cole knew what they'd done. And that he was fine with it. Of course he’d be. And Maggie said he’d been disappointed he wasn’t there. She’d hid it from her face when Maggie said that, but it was an awful thought. Four people in bed together? All of them doing what?
The whole thing had taken a weird turn. Maybe they shouldn’t have done the thing they did in Michigan, but it was done and they’d have to deal with it. But she wasn’t about to get into some w...

Mags had class with Keely on Tuesday, and said everything seemed okay. Their friendship seemed the same she said, Keely happy and bubbly, her normal self. Maggie apologized for being a downer, she told him, and Keely said she got it. He didn’t ask Maggie if they’d talked about them all getting naked together and fooling around. Maggie would tell him if she wanted. Might be saving it for the bedroom sometime, so he didn’t want to wreck it.
After Mags’ Advanced Antitrust lecture o...

In the dark, Cole said, “He’s going to ask.”
“Ask what?”
His head turned on the pillow to face her. “You know what.”
Her eyes didn’t meet his, stayed on the open door to their ensuite bathroom, the mirror still fogged from their hot bath. “I know he will,” she said and tickled her nails on the center of his chest.
They lay together in bed, tangled naked in the covers, her leg over his as she cuddled at his side. The night was full dark. They’d mad...

On the couch, draped over Cole’s hard body, she lay with her cheek at his collar. Sleepy eyes cast on the bottle of wine on the table and the two almost empty glasses. She stirred, and his hand went to hold her. She ran an inside thigh over his knee and kissed his neck. She said, “I’m so glad you don’t have emotions.”
He chuckled, and she bounced on his chest. It made her smile. He said, “How dare you. You know I have emotions.”
“You know what I mean.”

Their waiter and another server appeared, emerging from the dining room onto the patio, both of them in their smart but comfortable Cape Ginger attire: black shorts, black knee socks, white linen shirts with crisply ironed collars.
“Oh, thank God,” Kimmy said in anticipation. “I’m starving.” She already fiddled with her fork.
The two men brought to the table-side their three plates along with a shellfish tower for the table. The plates were set down in front of ...

The enormous paper lantern globe that hung above their private table softened the light that shone within, and it fell in pale pastel brushstrokes on his wife’s perfect face; Kimmy’s narrow eyes shone reflected sparks when she would toss her head a certain way while she spoke to Devlin. An angled shadow drew a line on her long graceful neck, defining the sharp edge of her pronounced jawline; the edges of her collarbones were painted with luster in the V of her black silk top with the thin...

There wasn’t an ounce of fat on Kimmy Chang’s body. His heart pounded for her.
The last hour of his life had probably been the most transformational. If there was anyone he could ever trust, it was this perfect woman.
She trotted a few steps behind him, heading off the pathway and down the trail to the beach. The muscles in her legs flexed, her hips swayed, the fine muscles of her narrow back rippled under her clear and lustrous skin. And her ass . . . A ta...

Josh threw himself down heavily next to her like he was exhausted, making the bed bounce. While pleasure still throbbed between her thighs and feather-tickled her brain somewhere behind her hairline, she rolled quickly toward him, wanting him to be all right.
Josh lay on his back like she had, with his forearm draped over his eyes. His chest heaved; his cock throbbed red, standing out with veins. She ran her nails over his stomach, then hugged herself to his side. She hid her chin in hi...

Thanks everyone for putting up your choices in the poll. Super helpful. I was surprised that Keely did so well!
So, going forward, it looks like I'l have to review my notes on Six Weeks In Winter. This makes me very happy! But, since Keely did so well, and I have a few chapters of the next book done, November will see new Keely chapters for the highest tier subscribers. You'll get more DITW, and now more Keely as well.
I'll run another poll in November to make sure you still want ...

With the towel wrapped around his waist, they crossed the public trail, then trotted together, holding hands as they entered the privacy of their villa patio. He was running on the balls of his feet, anxious to get inside before he burst out laughing. Kimmy got to the door first, swiped it open fast and jumped in. When he joined her, she slammed it shut. “Oh, my God, Kimmy, holy shit,” he exclaimed, practically doubling over. “That was so fucking crazy, God, Kimmy . . ....

For more than a full minute he stood in the kitchen listening to the pounding of his own heartbeat, wide eyes staring at the last place he’d seen his wife—walking from the kitchen to the sliding glass door. That perfect ass, that beautiful bare body on display . . . As the shock wore off, he was flooded with a strange sense of power. A gift from Kimmy.
He chuckled and groaned into his palms then held the back of his neck trying to comprehend what the hell was hap...

Josh worked his way up the trail headed back to the villa, and she watched him go with a small measure of worry. This was the reaction she suspected, but hadn’t been looking his way to gauge his facial expression before he left.
She waited till Josh was out of sight, then waited some more before she turned to look at Devlin, out in the water doing a slow breaststroke returning to shore. He watched her blankly. She set down her drink, stood, went to rinse the sand from her feet and rub...
