When Conor saw Roy and the captain sitting at the table of Maloney & Porcelli with the two other crew members, anger colored his thoughts. Everyone stood up as he approached. He shook the captain’s hand, followed by the first mate and doctor of the ship. The other two were the same age as the captain or maybe a little older. He nodded his head curtly towards Roy and sat down. Continue reading
Conor woke up at ten in the morning after only a few hours of sleep. He reached out to pull Charisse close and remembered what a dumb-ass he’d been when his hand touched sheets instead of skin. Continue reading
When we last left Charisse and Conor, Conor was seducing Charisse into a morning tumble in the sheets. Thanks to all of you who purchased Episode 6 over the weekend to find out what happened!! I’m still smiling about it this morning! Here are the plot points you missed if you haven’t read the sex scene: Conor intentionally did not bring her to climax, but she was so good he promised her a week in Puerto Rico. Enjoy!
When Charisse finally showered and dressed, she made her way to the kitchen, hoping there would be something for her for breakfast. She wasn’t expecting a full bacon, eggs and hash brown meal, but a bagel would be good or at least a cup of yogurt. Continue reading
Charisse dozed, hitting the snooze on her phone every now and then. Her brain hadn’t reminded her she was in Conor’s penthouse yet. But when she smelled coffee and heard Raul say, “Good morning Charisse,” she bolted up. Continue reading
Charisse lay curled up in the dark. The high thread count cotton sheets and pillow top mattress gave her no comfort. At least she had pajamas on. She was sure they were what Raul had chosen and not something Conor picked out. They were plain knit shorts and a cami. By tomorrow night she’d probably be sleeping in a sheer teddy…if she was lucky. For all she knew he’d really go the whole slave route, and she’d be sleeping in cuffs and a collar. Maybe chained to the bed. Continue reading
Charisse cringed as Raul made no attempt to hide his shock. He’d been leaning against the car but stood up as soon as he saw them, gaping openly at Charisse. She wanted to turn and run back into the building, but Conor placed his hand in the middle of her back and nudged her forward. Continue reading
Charisse sat on the couch with her arms crossed over her body, watching Conor put on an exquisite suit and tie. Though all of his suits were expensive, she could tell this one had a higher thread count than his usual. Plus, the shirt had French cuffs. He opened a desk drawer and pulled out gold cufflinks with what looked like diamonds on the end. Continue reading
Welcome to Episode 6: The Banquet! There are two steamy sex scenes which will be cut from the blog. If you’d like to read the uncut version, please buy it at Amazon!
Conor and Charisse just sealed the deal and already the new contract isn’t turning out how Charisse imagined at all. Please enjoy!
Charisse was lulled into a sense of safety and contentment as Conor held her after the phone call from Josh. It was like they’d returned to their relationship before she’d walked out of his apartment to go back to work, before she’d agreed to the date with the Captain. But it only lasted a few minutes. Continue reading
In The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 6: The Banquet Raul serves Charisse Puerto Rican cafe con leche. I love this drink, but it’s a hard recipe to find. I finally found one over at the blog Spicelines.
I honestly thought it had sweetened condensed milk in it, but actually it’s just milk and half and half! The trick is warming them together slowly, which brings out a natural sweetness. Continue reading
Welcome to Friday! Last Satuday I did a post called Ma Charisse, listing three beauty bloggers who I’d hire in my fictional salon Ma Charisse in The Beautician and the Billionaire. I promised a follow-up and here it is!
Over at A Beautiful Whim, Janine covers everything I need to know about keeping our eyes young among many other beauty tips. I especially like all the research she does, and she’s not afraid to post even when one of her favorite products turns out to be harmful.
Willow and Birch Salon has great tutorials and tips. If I lived in Springfield, Illionois I’d give them a try for sure.
So far all the blogs I’ve posted have been ones I’ve been following for several months. But I wanted to give a shout out to one I’ve just discovered because she died her hair with henna! So cool! Hello Lesya!
