Why are you helping me? #MidWeekTease Scores WIP #MWTease #asmsg

Welcome back to Mid-Week Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino in which we share teasers from our work-in-progress or published book.

This week I'm sharing another teaser from my current work-in-progress, Scores. This scene follows on from last week's night club teaser.

In this scene, Benjamin is on the war path because his sister, Beatrice is drunk. Selina intervenes.

This is a first draft and unedited. I hope you enjoy it.

When the retching stopped, Selina walked into the bathroom to find Beatrice laying on the cold tiles. Lina flushed the toilet and then manoeuvred Beatrice into a sitting position. She turned the sink on and wet her face towel. She used it to wipe Beatrice's face and neck.

"Why are you helping me?"

Selina shrugged. "You're my sister-in-law."

"I haven't always been nice to you," Bea said, her mouth turned down and frown lines marring her forehead. "I call you a witch behind your back."

"Oh, don't worry about that," Lina replied. "I call you a bitch when you're not looking."

They both stared at each other for one long moment, the tension almost crackling in the air. Beatrice cracked a smile, Selina started laughing and Beatrice joined her.

"You really are the best woman for my brother," Bea said when she stopped laughing.

"Aww, you really think so?"

"Yes, I do. You will do just fine when you get to Johannesburg."

Selina's stomach knotted even tighter. She didn't want to discuss the upcoming trip or her insecurities with her sister in law. So she changed the subject.

"You have to stand up," she said. "I really can't carry your skinny ass all the way to the bedroom."

"You think my ass is skinny?" Bea said as she leaned on the bathtub, attempting to push herself up.

Selina hooked her arm to help. "Yes, it is."

"Aww. That's such a lovely compliment."

Beatrice straightened and stood in front of the sink. She picked up her toothbrush, applied paste and started brushing her teeth.

"No, it isn't meant as a compliment," Selina said and laughed.

"Real men like the soft cushion of a fat ass when their pounding into you." She patted her bottom. "And according to your brother, he likes the way mine wobbles when he spanks me."

Beatrice's face turned beetroot red and her eyes widened in the mirror. She bent over and spat out paste.

"Benjamin spanks you?" There was disbelief in her voice.

"Yes, deliciously so."

"Oh. My—" Her sis-in-law lifted her hand and covered her mouth. Wiping her mouth, she turned to face Lina. "You like it?"

"Of course I do. It is the sexiest thing when it's not a reprimand."

Bea went red again.

"Surely you know your brother is kinky in the bedroom. He said you walked in on him and Chris once with a girl."

"He told you about that?" Beatrice averted her eyes and walked past Selina into the bedroom.

Suddenly all was right with the world #MidWeekTease SCORES #MWTease #asmsg

Welcome back to Mid-Week Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino in which we share teasers from our work-in-progress or published book.

This week I'm sharing a teaser from my current work-in-progress. Fans of the Passion Shields series will be glad that I've started writing book 3, Scores. This is the final instalment of the Benjamin and Selina Moss story journey.

Here is a draft blurb:

His love possesses her. Will it protect her too?

Benjamin Moss has proven how much he cares about his wife Selina. She pushed him to shred his iron control and bare his soul to her. In return he's earned her much guarded heart as well as her body.

But her past has finally caught up with her and scores will have to be settled before they can have a happy ending. Can Benjamin's love protect her from those who seek to destroy both of them? Or will she finally lose the man who's possessed her body as well as her heart?

In this scene, you'll meet Noni (from Sex Tape) and Lora (from Secrets). And it seems Selina finally has a handle on the whole obedience thing. LOL. 

I wrote this last night so forgive any errors. It is unedited. Enjoy.

"Here, let me get you another drink," Lora said. "And then we're getting on the dance floor. I'm not having you mope around for the rest of the night. We're meant to be having fun not behaving like old women."

Noni giggled. "I don't know about the two of you but I'm far from being old."

"Yeah and that's why you've been on diet coke all night long." Lora snickered.

"If I tell you something, promise to keep it a secret."

"Come on then."

Selina and Lora leaned towards Noni.

"I think I'm pregnant."

"You think?"

"I'm doing the test tonight. I was waiting for Juan to get home before I did it. I didn't want to find out alone."

"Wow, that's exciting!"

"And romantic!"

"I know."

They all clutched hands in excitement.

"You have to tell us as soon as you find out."

"Erm." Noni cleared her throat. "I think Juan and I will be celebrating if it's good news. So how about I call Lina tomorrow and she can tell you, Lora."

"Of course." Lora laughed and stood to head to the bar. "So a mojito for Lina and diet coke for you, Noni."

"Yes," Selina replied.

The back of her neck prickled. She flicked her gaze to the men. Benjamin's stormy grey eyes held her in its thrall. Even with the distance between them and revelry going on around them, his censure whipped her mind. Guilt pelted her body with heat.

Two mojitos was her limit considering she'd also had a glass of wine before they left home. She was already at the limit with a gentle alcoholic buzz.

"Lora, just get me a small bottle of water." She raised her voice so Lora could hear above the music and chatter. "I'll need it if we're dancing."

With an almost imperceptible nod of his head, Benjamin's eyes gleamed his approval. And suddenly all was right with the world.

I've chosen a love scene from Secrets because it is one of my favourite scenes between Selina and Benjamin. I hope you enjoy it.

Samuel Barber's Adagio was playing, the sensual music heightening her mood.

"Later I'm going to take you back to the bedroom, tie you to it, and love you until you're sated. Then I'm going to blindfold you and feed you breakfast, so that all you have to do is focus on enjoying the here and now."

"I'd like that."

Could she dare to call his bluff? #MidWeekTease from Secrets #MWTease

Welcome back to Mid-Week Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino in which we share teasers from our work-in-progress or published book.

Today, I'm bringing you a teaser from Secrets, (Passion Shields, book 2). This is a continuation of Benjamin and Selina's story. In this scene, Selina isn't happy with Benjamin. But is she actually going to defy him?

~*~

Swinging her legs over to her side of the bed, she prepared to stand.

"Stay right there," Ben said in a firm deep voice. Despite the calmness to his words, she didn't miss the order.

Instinctively, traitorously, her body stilled, an almost natural response to his command, masking the weeks of training it had taken to achieve. Her mind rebelled, her anger still riding her blood with each beat of her heart.

Last night she'd fallen into bed exhausted, barely able to string together two words in a sentence. Ben had seen how tired she'd been. He knew how much she needed today's play, damn it! A little warning would've been nice for starters.

Lifting her head, she glared at him, her obedience tottering on razor thin wires.

"What are you doing?" he asked, the warning in his cool voice apparent.

In a heartbeat his smile faded, his lips flattened, the grey of his eyes marbling, the muscles of his arms bunching. He held her defiant gaze and raised it, like in a poker game, challenging her to take it one step further into outright disobedience.

Could she dare to call his bluff?

~*~

Her body is his to command, her heart his to win.

Selina Moss bared her body to her husband and allowed him to see her and touch her like no one else has ever done. When a member of the family visits, she realizes there is still so much about her husband she doesn't know.

Benjamin's remorse about his family history drives his actions. Selina is his present and he'll do whatever it takes to protect her from being contaminated by his past, including revealing the shame that burns his soul.

But for Selina, finding out about Benjamin's past means investing emotionally in a man who's only going to walk away once their temporary arrangement comes to an end. Is she ready to bare her heart to him along with the secrets of their past?
