What inspired you to write your book?

I just love to express myself through my own fantasies and that is what writing does for me. I want to share my character’s sexuality with an audience who appreciates every detail.

Here is a short sample from the book:

“I’M SO proud of you Deirdre. Here’s to a successful demo recording.” Cassie smiled. Deirdre lifted her glass of champagne to her friend’s toast.
“Brooke said it went really well,” Deirdre told her friend. “She said we can expect a decision from the studio execs in the next week or so.” Deirdre had spent all day recording what could turn into her first album. She’d been working for weeks, choosing songs that were perfectly suited for her strong soprano voice. This after recording dinner with Cassie was the first time she’d allowed herself to relax in six weeks.
“I just know they’re going to sign you. You deserve something fantastic like this, Dee.” Cassie smiled. “And just think of all of the things you’ll be able to do for D’Angelo. You’re going to be able to give him an amazing life.”
An uncomfortable look spread across Deirdre’s face. “Do you really think so? Felix is afraid that if I’m in the public eye, D’Angelo will suffer for it… I’m afraid he has a point. I mean, look at how most celebrity kids turn out. It’s ridiculous… I’d never want that for my brother. I loved recording the demo, but maybe this isn’t something I should pursue. Maybe I should just keep focusing on school and let D’Angelo have a quiet life.” Deirdre sighed.
Cassie took a long sip of her champagne and studied her friend. “Do you really think that a little attention and money will be worse for D’Angelo than what he’s already been through?” she asked firmly. Deirdre opened her mouth to respond, but Cassie kept plowing on. “He deserves the best, even more than you do. And you’re a good person, Dee. You’ll make sure he is too.” She paused for another moment before continuing. “This doesn’t sound like you, Deirdre. Whose idea was it for you to turn down the deal?”
Deirdre looked down before answering. “Felix just pointed out that fame can be fleeting. And leave lasting damage. I just don’t know what the right thing is…”
“And Parker? I’m assuming you’re still talking to him?” Cassie prodded.
Deirdre shook her head. “He’s been keeping his distance. He sent flowers once… he’s sent over food with notes, saying he’s thinking about me, knows I’m busy. And he’s been taking D’Angelo to ball games… but he always stays in the hallway… like he’s literally giving me my space. He said he’d wait as long as it takes, I’m starting to think he meant it.”
“Maybe I misjudged our handsome billionaire,” Cassie conceded. “And maybe you should talk to him about your decision. Who would know better about the pros and cons of having enormous loads of money?” She laughed.
“I’d love to talk to him about this,” Deirdre agreed, “but I’m not sure I can trust myself around Parker. The last time we were alone together, I almost cheated on Felix. He doesn’t deserve that.”
“Deirdre, it almost sounds like you’re staying with Felix out of obligation. Aren’t you the one who pointed out that he deserves better than that?” Cassie reminded her.
Deirdre sighed. “And aren’t you the one who said I was allowed to take time?” She countered.
“Yes… but that was back when Felix seemed like a good fit for you. The longer you’ve stayed with him, the less I think that. He’s discouraging you from taking advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity… It almost sounds like he’s intimidated by the idea of you succeeding.”
“Felix loves D’Angelo,”’ Deirdre snapped defensively. “He’s just trying to make sure I put his needs first, that’s all. You should see the two of them together, Cass. D’Angelo loves him. And Felix has a point; my decisions affect my brother as much as they affect me.”
“It sounds like Felix wants you to put HIS needs first and he’s hiding behind an eight year old,” Cassie said firmly. She sighed. “We’ve gotten off track, Dee, tonight was supposed to be a celebration. Take the deal or don’t take the deal, it doesn’t change the fact that this is a pretty big honor. I’m proud of you.” Cassie smiled.
“It is kinda a big honor, isn’t it?” Deirdre smiled, allowing her friend to change the subject.
Cassie nodded. “And it could be the beginning of the rest of your life.”
DEIRDRE SLOWLY unlocked her front door and gently pushed it open. She crept into the living room and found D’Angelo and Felix asleep on the couch, the menu screen of The Lion King shining from the television set. Deirdre kneeled down and shook Felix slightly.
“Hmm,” he murmured, opening his eyes. “What time is it?”
“It’s a little after eleven,” Deirdre whispered. “Cassie and I didn’t stay out long. I was ready to get home.” She smiled, moving to D’Angelo’s side of the couch. She leaned down and kissed him lightly all over the face. D’Angelo woke up laughing.
“How did the song making go Dee Dee?” he asked with bright eyes and a tired smile.
“The song making went great little man.” She smiled. “I’ll make you a deal. Go to your room and go back to sleep, and as soon as you wake up in the morning I’ll tell you all about it.”
“You promise?”
“Absolutely,” Deirdre assured him. D’Angelo jumped up, hugged his sister and Felix, and then scampered off to his bed.
“He’s such a good kid.” Felix smiled. “So, it really went well?”
“It really did.” Deirdre smiled. “But I’m still thinking about what you said. I’m not sure that kind of lifestyle is best for D’Angelo.”
“Well, whether you accept a contract or not, this is a great honor Deirdre, you should be proud of yourself. I’m proud of you.” He grinned.
Deirdre sat on Felix’s lap, leaned over, and lightly nibbled his earlobe. “Wanna show me how proud?” she whispered suggestively.
“Always…” he said quickly before covering her mouth with his. Felix wrapped Deirdre’s legs around his hips, stood, and carried her into the bedroom. He fell backward onto the bed, pulling away from Deirdre just long enough to pull her shirt over her head. Deirdre unhooked her bra and threw it aside and then shimmied out of her slacks. Felix took her right breast into his mouth roughly, biting and pinching her nipple until Deirdre burned with desire.
“Hey Felix, I’ve had a long day,” Deirdre breathed heavily. “Would you care to take this to the shower?” She grinned mischievously.
“Always.” he said again, returning her grin. Deirdre climbed off of Felix and shook her ass as she walked to her bathroom. Felix jumped from the bed, stripping off his clothes as he followed.
The apartment’s master bathroom had been the deciding factor when Deirdre rented the apartment. While she hardly ever used the deep, old-fashioned bathtub, she’d spent countless hours in the rectangular, stand-alone shower. She and Felix had come up with many inventive ways to use the built-in bench opposite the dual shower heads. Deirdre started the water before stepping into the stall. The pan-drip head poured a solid stream of steamy water over her while the massaging head relieved the stress that lingered in her shoulders. Felix stepped into the stall and pulled Deirdre’s slippery wet body to his. His thick, throbbing erection slid against her firm belly as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. He backed Deirdre against the wall for support, then reached down and teased her pussy with one hand. She pushed into his touch, longing to be filled.
Felix ran his free hand through Deirdre’s short hair and trailed his tongue along her collarbone. Deirdre groaned with pleasure before pushing Felix away. She pushed him into a seated position on the bench, turned away from him, and lowered herself onto his cock. Felix wrapped his arms around her, using one hand to fondle her breasts as the other teased her clit. Deirdre used Felix’s legs to brace herself and slowly pushed herself up and down on his throbbing member.
Felix gripped her hips tightly and increased the speed of her bounce. She responded by clenching her pussy muscles firmly around him. Felix groaned with pleasure before pulling Deirdre down roughly on his cock.
“I wanna make this last baby,” he explained, “just be still for a second.” Deirdre unclenched her muscles and let Felix rest inside her. He lovingly massaged her shoulders and planted soft kisses on the back of her neck. The sensations sent waves of pleasure through Deirdre’s body and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She pulled herself away from Felix long enough to grab the handheld massaging shower head. She smiled devilishly at Felix before turning and settling down on his cock again, groaning as the tip hit her deepest, most sensitive spot.
Deirdre remained still, but resumed her rhythm of clenching and releasing her throbbing pussy around Felix. She turned the shower head to the strongest setting and pointed it directly at her clit. The warm water pounded against her as Felix throbbed inside of her. Overwhelmed with sensations, Deirdre came hard and loudly. As her juices flowed over Felix’s cock, he gripped her hips again and began thrusting wildly. His pounding cock sent Deirdre directly from her first orgasm into her second; the spasms of her hot pussy sent Felix over the edge.
They sat there for a moment, both left a little lightheaded by the combination of their ecstasy and the steamy air surrounding them. They finally rose and washed each other under the pan-drip shower head.
