Owen heard the door to the room open and spun around.

Cathy walked in, hesitantly.

Owen strode to her, so pleased to see her, he couldn’t stop a huge smile forming on his face. “Cathy, I hoped I’d see you before you left. How did it go with the locksmith, all fixed?” He stopped close to her and looked into her eyes. ‘She’s very pretty. I’d like to get a kiss from her today.’

“Curiously, the locksmith told me there’s nothing wrong and the lock is new. He thinks that I haven’t been locking it properly, but I know I have.” She frowned.

Owen felt like kissing the frown away, or at least smoothing it away with his thumb. He smiled. “What about Alfred Parr has he had trouble with it?” Owen was just interested in keeping Cathy talking and close, but he’d sparked something in her mind.

She widened her eyes. “Hey, that’s true. When I first came here, I closed the door behind me after finding it ajar. It locked of course and stayed locked because Alfred used a key to get in and find me already here. That was the same today … weirdly the door was locked okay when the locksmith arrived…”

Owen watched her consider this. He desperately wanted to establish something between them to make her want to see him the next day. Ordinarily he’d ask a girl out, but he couldn’t do that could he? He launched into flirting.

“You have such lovely eyes, Cathy. I hope that’s okay to say. When you frowned I felt like smoothing it away.” He gave her a practiced look laden with promise.

Cathy gazed at him.

Her eyes betrayed her. He could touch her and she’d accept it. He took a deep breath and slowly put out his hand to hold her face. He smoothed the place a frown had been.

“I guess you have someone in your life waiting for you to get home. You wouldn’t want to stay a while and talk to me about your plans for the place.” He kept his voice low and looked at her lips. It was no hardship. He felt an overwhelming urge to kiss her. He bent his head to be even closer to her as she stayed there stilled under his hand and his gaze.

‘She has to be attracted to me. She has to be, or she’d have shaken off my touch and be backing away.’

“I don’t have anyone, special that is. I’d like to stay a while.”

Owen moved so slowly he felt as if he’d entered some dream state, but he reached her lips with his, and holding her face gently, he kissed her. Her lips were soft and she returned his kiss. It felt so good he couldn’t pull away as he intended. He brought his other hand to her head and ran his fingers into her hair to hold her. He kissed her until he felt weakened. It was an unfamiliar feeling, but he liked it. His cock was hardening. That felt good, too.

He drew back a little from Cathy’s face to look into her eyes. He saw her open them.

“Cathy I … I...” He had no idea what he wanted to say next. The need to keep kissing her ate at him.

She smiled a little and then put her arms around his neck and began to kiss him.

Owen received the kisses all over his face, and then as she reached his lips, he crushed her to his body and took over the kiss. He licked along the seam of her lips, and then bit the bottom one softly as she opened her mouth for him. A spike of desire tore through his body and completed his erection as he slid his tongue against hers. He ground his hard cock against her and moved his hands to cup her ass keeping her there. She wasn’t fighting. She was moving in little thrusts against him and it felt incredible. As he left her lips to kiss down her neck he vaguely thought, ‘This feels so fucking good … I don’t remember ever feeling so turned on.’

#FlashbackFriday Teaser 

She locked the front door behind her and walked up the stairs.

Owen was sitting on the edge of the single piece of furniture covered by a dustsheet when she walked in. She’d seen the item and realized it was a couch or similar item. She went to him.

He stood held her head and kissed her.

She pulled at his t-shirt and he helped her take it off. Cathy’s heart pounded as she ran her hands along his muscled chest and kissed down his chest to his stomach. His low-rise jeans showed the shape of his lean hips and a thin line of hair going down his stomach. She looked up into his eyes as she unzipped his jeans and pulled them down to his ankles. She kissed and licked down his stomach and then along his delicious hard cock.

She hadn’t noticed before, but he was wearing slide on shoes with no socks, and now she got him to step out of his clothes and shoes, until he was naked before her. His huge erection sprang away from his muscled stomach. She looked into his eyes as she kissed him and grasped his cock.

Owen groaned. “Take off your clothes, now, Cathy.” He stopped her kissing him. “No more kisses until you’re naked. I want you naked.”

His words made her throb with pleasure between her legs and her nipples hardened.

He took her t-shirt off and then her bra and dropped them gently to the floor.

She unzipped her jeans and began to push them down. Owen knelt and pulled them down to her ankles. He put his fingers into the side of her panties and then kissed her stomach before he took hold of the front with his teeth and pulled them down slowly, his fingers sliding down her thighs and his lips brushing against her mound until she was rocking her hips wanting his mouth on her clit.

Cathy closed her eyes and let the feelings flow over her. She wanted his tongue inside her, his fingers too, she wanted to suck his cock until he groaned and thrust into her. The need for sex had never been so urgent and so intense.

He stood and lifted her onto his knee as he sat on the chaise longue behind him.

She felt his hard thighs against her ass and he pressed her backward over his knee.

He took off her pull-on boots and then finished taking off her jeans and panties.

Cathy wanted his kiss and tried to sit up to reach his mouth, but he gently pushed her down and bent his head to kiss her stomach as he slipped a finger into her pussy. Cathy caught her breath. The feeling of his finger inside her and his mouth on her stomach completely overwhelmed her. She bucked her hips involuntarily to his hand and moaned as he pushed another finger into her. He lifted her then with his other hand around her shoulders to kiss her mouth. Cathy felt his fingers go deeper and she sighed into his mouth, the pleasure so great she couldn’t kiss him. All she could do was move to his gentle pumping and let him kiss her lips and slide his tongue against hers.

She tried to reach his cock, but couldn’t, and so she held his face to hers as he fingered her, kissing her every time she moaned.

“What do you want, Cathy?” He whispered.

She traced her fingertips over his shoulders and his chest.

“Tell me.”

In a fog of desire, she couldn’t form the words.

He pressed his thumb on her clit, and she savored the feel of his hand between her legs as his fingers moved in and out of her pussy. She could hardly breathe for the sheer bliss of his lips on hers. His other hand around her body to keep her where he wanted her, gave her such pleasure, she felt heavy with lust.

“I want you. I want you so much…”

“Tell me again, tell me…”

 Owen kissed her, and it was so good, so sexy, she felt her pussy throb where his fingers were. She’d never felt so wet. She didn’t want it to end.

“I want your cock in me. I want…”

Owen kissed her and took his fingers from her. She moaned softly wanting them back.

He kissed her again tenderly.

Cathy held his face and kissed him urgently.

He lifted her and moved her to straddle him. “Put my cock into you, slowly, kiss me, and sit down onto me slowly … let me feel every little move.”

She put her hand down to grasp his thick rock hard cock. It was exotic to hold him. She sighed against his lips.

He kissed her, moving his mouth on hers, softly, tantalizingly.

She guided his cock into her and sat slowly the way he’d said. As she took him into her pussy, the feel of his cock sliding against her clit and filling her slowly made her moan against his mouth.

He groaned and sucked her bottom lip into his mouth. Then as she leaned her head back slightly, he bit gently on her throat.

They stopped to breathe against each other’s face before Cathy began to ride him.

He helped her, his hands on her hips, and he bent his head to suck her breasts into his mouth, one after the other until the nipples were wet and standing out for him.

Cathy felt as if she would melt away completely. She couldn’t remember anything feeling so delicious.

“This is the best feeling ever…” She murmured against his mouth.

“I feel that way, too.” Owen sucked on her ear lobe and she gasped.

She felt her orgasm start in her clit, and held Owen around the neck kissing him hard as it burst through her in intense waves of sensation. It made her breathless. She couldn’t stop thrusting, wanting it to go on. She slowed as the delicious orgasm waned.

Owen softened his kiss on her lips as he took hold of her hips and thrust hard up into her. He groaned against her mouth as his orgasm shook him with its intensity.

Mid Week Tease comes to you today from 

The Old Star

When Cathy Faraday goes out from her office to buy morning tea, a set of circumstances send her on a different route from the one she would normally take. Waiting on a street unknown to her is a house. Old and left to fade away the house looks shabby against its neighbors. The whole row of houses are now offices and Cathy sees a ‘for let sign’ outside the place. Something draws her to the house. Someone watches from the third floor window.

Cathy applies to rent the building to expand her dating agency business. As she begins to make it ready, the house reveals its secrets.

Erotic romance, with a twist of paranormal, set in contemporary England this story will haunt you.

The Tease:

 In the first few passages of time that he existed Owen tried hard to get someone’s attention, and then he realized no one could see him. He tried to open the windows, but they were stuck fast, and the most horrible thing of all was if he kicked at them or tried to break them they shimmered away as if they were a mirage. He never saw Nate again and he discovered his cell phone never had a signal. 

He was terrified for what felt like a long time and then one day he broke down and cried. He hadn’t seemed to exist for a little while after that because the next time he found himself painting, the trees in the garden on the other side of the square were blossoming. Some kind of peace had descended on him and he just painted.

It came as a complete shock when Cathy Faraday walked in, but he’d covered it up. He’d wanted to tell her what happened to him, but knew she might run thinking him a lunatic or worse. Owen sighed then as he stood up again. The shadows were lengthening and he knew that might mean he’d sleep or whatever else he did that he couldn’t remember. He felt afraid again now he’d seen Cathy Faraday. Somehow, that strange peace had gone, and he felt as afraid as he had in the early part of being there.

Owen pictured Cathy Faraday. He liked her elfin face and big green eyes. He recalled her as best he could and thought that if he’d met her under normal circumstances he would have gone after her, asked for a date, got to know her, taken her to bed. Owen was thinking those thoughts when the sun went down and he disappeared.

A book hook this Wednesday in the #MFRWhooks hop from the spooky, sexy, and surprising Hot Ink release, The Old Star

There was a young woman seated at a desk right in the front of the office.

“Hi, I just called, Cathy Faraday. I’d like to register. I’m interested in a property I saw this morning that you have for rent.”

The young woman opened a document on her computer, and began firing a series of questions at Cathy, then keying in the answers Cathy gave.

Cathy was grinning with mirth at the way the young woman got through this slightly tedious task. The young woman looked up.

“So Ms. Faraday, what was the property? I’ll look up the details for you.”

Cathy’s eyes sparkled. “The Old Star, I saw it this morning.”

The young woman’s face set in an expression of distaste.

“I’m sorry I need to ask Mr. Parr to speak with you.” She stood up and walked down the small office passing another desk that was empty of an occupant. She leaned around a wooden door at the end of the office and called.

“Mr. Parr, I have an inquiry about that building, The Old Star…”

She turned around and walked back to Cathy. An older man followed on. He offered his hand to Cathy.

“Alfred Parr, good afternoon.”

Cathy smiled and shook his hand vigorously.

“Cathy Faraday…pleased to meet you. I’m interested in viewing The Old Star.”

She watched his pale blue eyes fill with determination.

“Ms. Faraday, you don’t want that old place. I can show you better. The Old Star has been empty a long time and needs work…lots of work.”

Cathy felt a frown of confusion crease her forehead.

“Why have it signposted for let then? Don’t you think I could decide for myself if it’s suitable?” She watched Alfred Parr take a deep breath and purse his lips.

“You need to know its history. The place has been empty for five years. The old lady who ran a dressmaking business there reputedly let it run down. When she died, the family put it up for let without any restoration. The grown-up sons took some care of it this last five years, until a few weeks ago when they went to the States, or so I’m told. The place isn’t nice, Ms. Faraday.” His voice had taken on an almost pleading note.

Cathy swallowed. “Mr. Parr, I’d really like to see it. You’re a businessman aren’t you?”

Alfred Parr sighed heavily.

“I can show you through tomorrow at nine-thirty, is that okay?”

Cathy broke into a smile. “Thank you I’ll be there.”
