Dark #fantasy #romance Forever Blue . Read a #teaser #Halloween reads. What secret must Jasper hide and what’s the strange blue dust that turns up on Claudie’s patio?

 

When she arrived home, he was in his usual place on the patio. It was an exceptionally dark night. Dense cloud covered the moon. Rain fell in huge drops. He heard the Land Rover long before she pulled into her drive and parked. Jasper enjoyed Claudie’s humming, as she went through her front door. If she had been to a hide somewhere other than in the local area, she was home early. Maybe because of the weather. He listened to the sound of her making a hot drink in her kitchen. He smiled. He couldn’t stop smiling. The sound of her voice flowed over him. It trickled into his mind and heart, lifting his spirits, and giving him hope.

 

Jasper stood silently by the holly tree and close to the biggest potted trees, near one of them clipped into a ball shape. He liked that. When the conservatory door opened and Claudie stepped out, he froze in the darkness and the shadow of the holly. The house security lights had recently failed on that side of the wall, but she was silhouetted in the glow from the working lights on the other side of the door.

 

Jasper watched her sniff the night air. Her expression worried him. She looked puzzled. Then she was walking toward him. He tried to melt further into the shadows.

 

She picked up a garden fork that leaned against the house wall and held it out in front of her. The row of metal prongs looked lethal.

 

“I can see you. Who are you? What do you want? You have ten seconds to beat it, buddy, and then I scream for my husband.”

 

Jasper’s surprise pinned him to the spot. She can see me. How is that possible? Unless, unless, she is the one.

 

He saw her hesitate. He knew there was no husband, and now she must be deciding he’d called her bluff. If she could see him, then maybe she’d be able to hear him too.

 

“I’m sorry. I was only taking shelter from the rain for a few minutes. I don’t mean any harm.” He held out his hands by his sides in a gesture meant to convey that he was harmless.

 

She raised the garden fork a little as if his movement scared her.

 

He bent his head and his shoulders drooped. “I’m really no threat. I’ll leave, if you let me pass.”

 

She put down the garden fork. “What are you doing out here? There’s nothing around for miles. The road leads nowhere.”

 

Jasper edged sideways to leave. His thoughts tumbled in his head. A weight of sadness threatened to force tears from his eyes. He could only just bear the thought that she was afraid of him. He stuttered. “I … I’m lost.”

 

Claudie looked at him intently. A frown creased her forehead.

 

“I can call you a cab. Where are you going?”

 

He shook his head. “No. I’ll walk back along the lane to the road.” Jasper moved, this time more quickly.

 

Claudie stepped back, but called. “Wait. You’re drenched. I can’t see anyone just wander off into the night like that.”

 

Jasper’s heart contracted. He wished he’d met her in the day, on the road, or somewhere she wouldn’t decide he was a threat. She could be the one and he loved her. His stomach ached with sorrow. He turned and in a burst of speed, he fled.

 

A mist of spruce perfume hit Claudie and she stared after him.

He stopped at the bottom of the garden and looked back. She was inside, locking the door and he could see she still held the garden fork leaning it against her hip in readiness. She’d taken it in for a weapon. He shook his head. How strange, he’d watched her all summer, and she’d shown no sign of knowing he was there. What alerted her to my presence this night? He felt desolate. He leapt the box that hedged the back of her garden and ran the length of the field.

#ScintillatingSunday 8 

Claudie was the happiest she’d been for a long time. This man’s attention made her heart sing. True, she hardly knew him, but it felt right. She had instincts about people and animals too. He felt safe. It felt as if they had a deep connection and Claudie loved what he did to her. She didn’t know how much she needed sex until Jasper gave it. She reveled in his touch.

His hands traced her hipbones as he kissed her. He surrounded her with what felt like love. His masculine scent mixed with his forest smell evoked a sexual haze that freed her inhibitions. She helped him pull her jeans down and then she lifted her arms for him to take her sweater off.

“Take your clothes off, Jasper. Let me watch you.”

He stood. He looked into her eyes as he undressed.

Claudie felt her panties wet against her throbbing pussy when Jasper dragged off his shirt. He’d told her she was lovely, but he was pure sex to her. She wanted to hold him and lick along the V of his hips as they dipped down to his cock. She watched as he pushed off his jeans and revealed his erection. Claudie licked her lips. Just thinking about tracing the shape at the head of his luscious cock with her tongue, gave her another drench of wet heat in her pussy. Her clit felt huge as she squirmed against her panties wanting his fingers in her.

He leaned over her.

She thought she’d come just from the look he gave her as he bent his head to place a kiss on the hollow at the base of her neck.She held his head, taking fistfuls of his dark hair.

He brought his face to hers and traced his tongue over her lips until she opened them.

His body was a couple of inches above hers as he supported himself on his forearms, and she grabbed his hips to pull him down onto her. She craved the feel of his cock against her stomach.

They kissed each other breathless.

He slowly, gently, took a few strands of her hair. It slipped between his fingers and he gazed into her eyes. He saw her lean toward him and knew she’d return his kiss. He bent his head to hers. A fraction away from her lips he gazed into her eyes and saw lust. His cock jerked in his jeans. He met her mouth, kissed her slowly, lingering, and sucking her bottom lip a little, as his heart hammered in his chest.

Manic readers   

Forever Blue is a lovely little love story. It is ethereal to the max, and I pictured it, if it was a movie, as being shot with a soft focus lens, with muted colors. That is a testament to Parkes’ ability with the descriptive word.

I loved the story, not so much for the love, but for the other worldliness of the whole thing which takes over the story and the characters.  Jasper’s story is poignant and engaging.

#MWTease Jasper and Claudie meet #eroticromance

From Forever Blue

Hot Ink Press

Claudie loves living in the countryside and close to the forests. She’s a film maker and works for the wildlife trust. One night she steps onto her patio and sees a man sheltering there. She confronts him and he runs away.

Jasper has watched Claudie for a year. He fell in love with her, but he has a secret, one that might mean he can never approach her.

Teaser:

Claudie couldn’t concentrate on her work anymore. She Skyped another member of the documentary team and they discussed the weekend program they were to film. It was about the influx of starlings that came for the winter and about the red kites that were now so prolific in that part of the country. Afterwards she sat back in her desk chair and gazed into space. She got up and walked to the kitchen. Maybe a cup of coffee would help, but she left the percolator bubbling, took her jacket from the hall, and walked out into the garden.

She couldn’t shake the unease that gripped her since she’d seen the man in the night. Claudie locked up and set off to walk in the woods. She chose her favorite path. It wound through the remaining elms and ash. Claudie knew the forestry commission had to cut back the trees a couple of years before because of disease. Since then they planted Scots pine in a group and the young trees were lovely.

Claudie scrunched along the path thinking about work, then about the blue man, then about the coffee that would be stewed by the time she went home.

Jasper heard her long before he saw her, and he went to lean against the tarp covered trailer.

Claudie saw the man. She knew the foresters parked there in the clearing and saw the trailer. She assumed Jasper was a forestry worker. She’d met them before as she worked or walked and often stopped for a few words. As she approached and saw him clearly, something stirred in her heart. She’d not felt attracted to a man in a few years. This man was gorgeous. He was tall, broad shouldered, muscled, and slim hipped, like some movie star. She knew she was openly staring at him, and so she greeted him as hikers and walkers often did when they passed each other.

“Hi, nice day.” It was an inane greeting, when her heart pounded at the way his jeans rode low on his hips, and his chest muscles filled out the forestry commission shirt. She couldn’t take her eyes off him as he pushed a hand through his dark hair and then smiled at her.

“It’s stopped raining at least.” Jasper heard his own voice echo in the clearing. He took a step towards Claudie. “I’m waiting for the others to come back before I unpack the tools.” He waved at the trailer, as if his tools were in there, alluding to having been dropped off, so that she wouldn’t wonder where his vehicle was.

Claudie instinctively knew he wanted to talk to her. She stopped a few paces away on the soil path strewn with red and gold fallen leaves.

“What are you going to do here? Not chop down more trees I hope. They all look healthy to me.” She smiled at him. He’d be about her age, she thought. She looked for a ring on his hand, even knowing not all men wore a wedding band. There wasn’t one. Claudie stepped a little closer. He seemed familiar. Fringed with long dark lashes, his lovely green eyes held an unspoken emotion. He’s very good looking. She stared at his inviting lips. What would it be like to kiss him? Get a grip he’s a total stranger.

Jasper watched her carefully. He saw the glance she gave his left hand, and saw her eyes darken a little as she gazed at him. His heart started to pound.

“No chopping down, just taking care of the young trees.” He hoped it was the truth and the trailer didn’t hold chainsaws.

Claudie felt drawn to him. She wondered what it took these days to show a guy you liked him. She’d not had much luck with men, never had a lasting relationship, and stopped even thinking about dating around two years ago. She didn’t expect to meet a man who instantly interested her the way this guy did. She had male colleagues and got on well with them, but as for sex or love, Claudie had given up hope for them.

She looked around her thinking about how she might continue a conversation. “Have you been waiting for the other workers long? It’s starting to get cold again.”

Jasper knew he’d have to keep lying. He didn’t like it, but there it was. “I think they’ve forgotten me.” He smiled. “I might walk down the lane and meet them as they come back. Are you going that way?”

Claudie was going in the opposite direction, but knew an invitation when she heard one.

She turned to him.

He slowly, gently, took a few strands of her hair. It slipped between his fingers and he gazed into her eyes. He saw her lean toward him and knew she’d return his kiss. He bent his head to hers. A fraction away from her lips he gazed into her eyes and saw lust. His cock jerked in his jeans. He met her mouth, kissed her slowly, lingering, and sucking her bottom lip a little, as his heart hammered in his chest.

She kissed him too, and brought her hands up to hold his face. Her gentle touch sent shivers of desire all the way down his body. His cock grew heavy. The longing to press against her overcame him and he pulled her into his arms.

Her gasp of pleasure caressed his ear. She pushed her stomach against his erection and her luscious tongue touched his lips.

He opened his mouth. The urgent need to fuck her made his legs feel like jelly.

Her kiss continued.

Jasper relaxed. She wanted him.

Her hands roamed on his bare back. Her fingertips traced his muscles.

He shook with need.

She leaned away from him and he followed her mouth with his, unable to stop kissing her.

He felt her smile against his lips.

“You feel so good.” Her voice was a whisper.

A peek at Claudie and Jasper for #midweektease today #erotic #romance #lovescene

It's mid week tease again and we continue to take a peek at the contemporary erotic fantasy, Forever Blue.

Claudie’s bed was made, with the quilt pulled up to the pillows, and then smoothed down. Jasper laid her on there and leaned over her.

“You’re so very lovely, Claudie.” He unzipped her jeans as he kissed her.

Claudie was the happiest she’d been for a long time. This man’s attention made her heart sing. True, she hardly knew him, but it felt right. She had instincts about people and animals too. He felt safe. It felt as if they had a deep connection and Claudie loved what he did to her. She didn’t know how much she needed sex until Jasper gave it. She reveled in his touch.

His hands traced her hipbones as he kissed her. He surrounded her with what felt like love. His masculine scent mixed with his forest smell evoked a sexual haze that freed her inhibitions. She helped him pull her jeans down and then she lifted her arms for him to take her sweater off.

“Take your clothes off, Jasper. Let me watch you.”

He stood. He looked into her eyes as he undressed.

Claudie felt her panties wet against her throbbing pussy when Jasper dragged off his shirt. He’d told her she was lovely, but he was pure sex to her. She wanted to hold him and lick along the V of his hips as they dipped down to his cock. She watched as he pushed off his jeans and revealed his erection. Claudie licked her lips. Just thinking about tracing the shape at the head of his luscious cock with her tongue, gave her another drench of wet heat in her pussy. Her clit felt huge as she squirmed against her panties wanting his fingers in her.

He leaned over her. She thought she’d come just from the look he gave her as he bent his head to place a kiss on the hollow at the base of her neck.

She held his head, taking fistfuls of his dark hair.

He brought his face to hers and traced his tongue over her lips until she opened them.

His body was a couple of inches above hers as he supported himself on his forearms, and she grabbed his hips to pull him down onto her. She craved the feel of his cock against her stomach.

They kissed each other breathless.

He drew back to smile at her before he nibbled down her neck.

She murmured soft sounds, not even words. All she could think about was having his cock thrust inside her.

When he moved from between her legs to lie by her side she groaned in disappointment.

She looked up into his gorgeous face.

He was propped on one elbow, and smiled at her again. He traced his fingers down her stomach to rest tantalizingly just above where she wanted them to be.

She lifted her hips to him, hoping his hand would slip down and he’d feel how wet she was, how much she needed him.

He closed his eyes as he leaned toward her face and kissed her tenderly. His fingers slid along her wet pussy and then he pushed them into her.

His thumb was against her clit, pressing deliciously. Claudie purred against his lips as they kissed. She rocked against the palm of his hand to have his fingers deeper inside her pussy. She held his shoulder muscles and moaned into his mouth. Her orgasm was building rapidly and she thrust her hips to his pumping.

Against her mouth, he whispered, “Come for me. I’m crazy about you. You feel so good.”

The words filtered through her lust numbed mind as she dug her fingernails into his back when she came, gasping at the intensity of the orgasm.

Jasper removed his fingers gently and lay between her legs.

Claudie ran her fingertips up and down the sides of his body. “Thrust into me.” Her voice was made throaty from his nearness, his cock between her thighs, and the way her clit still pulsed.

“Oh, I will.” Jasper whispered into her ear.

A shiver of pleasure ran down to her breasts as he licked her ear. He trailed his tongue down her neck to suck as he slowly pushed his hard thick cock into her pussy. The feel of him, inch after inch, slowly filling her until he gave a final hard thrust was delicious. She held him tight and reached to suck at his neck the way he sucked at hers.

They both softly moaned as they sucked and in unison brought their mouths together to kiss each other slowly, tenderly and then hungrily.

Jasper thrust his cock in and out of her fast and hard. Then he slowed down and raising himself on his knees, he lifted her hips and looked into her eyes.

Claudie’s eyes were only half-open. They were heavy with lust. She felt drugged with sex, but she saw his eyes, and thought they were full of tenderness.

His thrusts were slow as he held her hips and his cock grazed her swollen clit. His hands possessed her hips and he fucked her until she came again moaning his name. Jasper held her under her bottom and pulled her hard onto his cock.

Claudie heard him groan, and then he pounded his cock into her as he came. She opened her eyes to see him come. His eyes were closed and his head thrown back a little. He looked erotic, beautiful, so sexy, and she sighed with pleasure. He’s so gorgeous. I think I’m falling in love with him, or falling in sex with him. I might love him soon. Her thoughts made her smile.

Jasper opened his eyes and gazed at her. He still held her under the bottom. His cock pulsed in her pussy. He smiled. “I’m falling in love with you.” His voice was soft and low.

Claudie held her arms up for him to lie against her, and be held. “I’m falling in love with you too.” She whispered it as if it was a secret she didn’t want the universe to hear. I don’t want to lose him. I want to know him, love him, and keep him forever.

He lay in her arms and clasped her body to his, rolling them both onto their sides face to face. He smiled and kissed by the side of her mouth. “That’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time.” He kissed the tip of her nose and then her lips gently.

She traced her fingertips down his face. She rubbed her face against his and savored his masculine scent. She closed her eyes and nestled into his neck. “Jasper, tell me about yourself.”

He held her head, his hand in her hair, and kissed her forehead.

“I’m just a forester. I love trees and the countryside that’s why I studied to do the job. I’m not very wealthy. I’m thirty. I live…” he hesitated, “I live locally. I want to keep seeing you. I want to know all about you. You’re special to me.”

“Stay with me tonight. Stay, can you? I took you from your work. Stay and we’ll eat some dinner together later.”

Jasper hugged her. “I’d like that very much.”

They snuggled together. Jasper traced his fingers over her hip and down the curve of her thigh as she lay against him, and Claudie fell asleep.
