Scarlett: Steamy Sentences


And so without further ado, Scarlett selected these sentences (creatively, mind you) from her own portions of the work in progress. Enjoy... and don't mind us getting naked. We do that a lot.

"Mmmmmmm.... And pay no attention to the window washer. He likes to watch...."

Chloe thought of the photographs in her e-mail box and felt the heat in her cheeks. I'm blushing, she thought, trying in vain to push those images from her thoughts. Not here. Oh, not here, not now! Aloud, she said, "Just this morning, in fact."

You idiot, she mentally reprimanded herself. He's naked. You just kissed a very naked Gabriel, and acted as though it was no big deal.


At the mention of the webcam, Chloe felt the blood rush to her cheeks. 


“I'll be your slave girl. Your every wish is my command.”

James: Six Seductive Sentences


We've seen these blogs elsewhere, and Scarlett and I thought we'd take our own particular shot at it, with six sentences each, taken from various places in our work in progress, Same Time Tomorrow. Here are six I've chosen from my side of writing the book:

“After all, the lady has no idea where a dog like you has been.”

"Someone who’d find those dimples of yours irresistible would be nice."

"This isn’t going to turn into the Donner Party, you know.”

Any time you want to get moving and bother the Netherlands or Germany, feel free.

As his tongue drove her towards orgasm, she moaned, running her fingers through his hair, calling out his name…

You’re my mistress… my lover… and I belong to you.

St. Valentine's Day: Advice, Flirtations, and Arched Eyebrows


Happy Valentine's Day all!

We've seen so many Valentine-themed blogs in the past few days that we decided we just had to offer our own thoughts on how to celebrate this holidays for lovers. Candy and flowers are nice, girls, but what do you really want from your man? And men, what would you like your women to do to show you they love you?

A very happy Valentine's Day indeed!

It's a day meant to celebrate love and affection. It's a day where the florists and chocolatiers are at their busiest. It's a day filled with Valentine's cards. In fact, as Scarlett can tell you, it's one of our favourite days.
I'll start by suggesting that as men, we like to feel appreciated.

I know how you like to be appreciated, darling, but maybe you should give our readers some details.

Oh, yes, we're supposed to be behaving ourselves and giving them tips and thoughts.

What do we men want? No, not a case of beer in front of the television. At least not if we're worth anything. I know that's a common stereotype, but not all of us are like that.

It's the little things, really, that make us feel appreciated. Those small gestures of affection. It might just be a momentary rub of an arm. A pat on the back. A kind word.

Oh, and we really like back rubs.

Now when did I ever want you to behave yourself, sweetheart?

Girls, try the back rubs. Try a full-body massage. Try a warm, sensuous bath for two. Sip champagne. Eat chocolate dipped strawberries.

Better yet, feed them to him. Give him a shave. 

A shave, yes. It implies a great deal of trust, guys. She's got that sharp razor at your throat, after all.

And by the way, gentlemen, feeding her those strawberries too is a very good idea. They're tasty... they're good for energy, and both of you will need that energy.

Just take your time. Make sure that champagne's the good kind. And while you've got her in that tub, give her legs a rub. Yes, it might well lead to more vigorous activities, so to speak.... but do it just for the sake of doing it too.

Now, speaking of full body massages, there was this time Scarlett and I got carried away with ourselves in the governor's mansion...

I still don't understand why everyone was so upset. The press catching us certainly drew attention away from the accusations being hurled at him....

We ended up on the cover of every newspaper in the state and the National Enquirer.  I thought we looked fabulous! I don't know why they put those silly black ribbons across our private parts, though....

They're perfectly natural parts of the anatomy, after all, but some people....

Anyway, where were we? Oh, yes. Talking about massages. You can make it a mutual thing, guys. Let her massage you, and do the same in return. And I strongly suggest lots and lots of practice.

And while we're at it, try a couple's massage. Take a weekend away. Go to one of those all inclusive inns. Have a couple's massage done. It's a wonderful way to unwind...

Go to a cozy bed and breakfast, just the two of you. Pamper each other. Indulge each other's fantasies. 

Like that naughty nun James enjoys so much....

The naughty nun. And you look so ravishing in a habit.

Or that dashing swordsman you so adore....

Ah, Zorro. The fox. And James does look so very foxy in that cape, boots, mask, hat...and nothing else. 
His sword is impressive. And that sabre's not bad, either.

Special Award!





Though we already gave out three Cold Shower Awards this week, another steamy blog has come to our attention that we feel deserves special  merit. And so we give the fourth Cold Shower Award to Telega Tales and Tart Cookies.


Check it out!  And Karla...you have to promise to NEVER do that again!

The Cold Shower Award

Scarlett and I came up with the idea some time ago for the Cold Shower Award. It was after finding this little treasure of a picture.....

So what is the Cold Shower Award? We've decided that it should go to blogs whose current or future work gets the readers hot and bothered, aroused, and turned on... and not in that order. It's for those blogs whose contents are not safe reading for work, or might be given to adding on pictures such as the above.

Here's how we made use of that picture:



So, to start things off, we have three blogs we subscribe to that we want to give this to.

Romance Writers Behaving Badly is certainly deserving of the honors, given its track record as a spicy and sultry blog.

My Character's Lives is a character blog written by Beth, whose current work is leading into the steamy side of things.

Smart Bitches Trashy Books certainly speaks for itself.

Check these blogs out. Just don't do so with little children or the church elders looking over your shoulder. You're bound to get rather red faced.

Now if you'll excuse me, Scarlett's expecting me in the shower. And I don't want to keep her waiting....
