Finding
Justice
Excerpt: Unedited
"The door's locked," she whispered back.
"How
did you . . ."
"I
heard the lock click." She moved
back, and stood and kicked off her sandals.
Lifting her hands to the neck of her dress, she slowly slid the zipper
down.
"Thea,
baby, this really isn't the best place."
"I
know, but this room is part of who you are.
It's where you're the most tense and where you need to relax the
most." With a flutter, her dress
dropped to the floor and she stood clad in only a peach bra and matching
panties. His mouth went dry.
Where
before he'd guessed at her curves, now he had proof.
While petite, she wasn't dainty by any stretch.
She had a woman's curves; full hips, round breasts and firm thighs that
could crush a man between them.
Reaching
behind her, she unclasped her bra, letting it fall to the floor.
Jacob stood and gently cupping her breasts in his hands.
He couldn't help wondering if he was insane for doing this, here in a
courthouse. But, at that moment,
there was nowhere he'd rather be than in her arms, in this chamber.
The smell of the old tomes had always been soothing, but mixed with the
delicate strains of her perfume and her arousal; it was a heady combination.
His
body felt less tense, but his heart was racing.
Thea slid against him, her supple little body curling around him, her
hands busy removing his clothing before he was even aware of it.
"Make
love to me, Jacob." The sensual
plea in her voice was more delicious than any aphrodisiac, and he was powerless
to resist.
Lifting
her in his arms, he carried her to his desk and sat her on the top.
Her hands continued to pull against his belt while he worked on slipping
free of his shoes and socks.
When
his belt slipped free, her slender hands worked his button and zipper, and like
her dress, his pants whispered to the floor.
Stepping free of them, his quickly unbuttoned his shirt, feeling more
like a high school student in the back of his mom's car than a judge, who had
sat the bench for a decade.
Embracing
Destiny
Excerpt: Unedited
Crossing
the room, to return to him, she took his breath away.
The woman had no ideas what she did to him, with the soft sway of
her hips, her legs slightly rubbing with each step.
Aphrodite walked that way, but being the Goddess of love and
beauty, she took such things as having men fall at her feet drooling to be
a requirement. Luckily as a
God, he was exempt.
Yet
Destiny, with her unconscious mimicry of that stride, had him ready to
drop to his knees and worship her.
Unable
to take any more, he moved toward her and pulled her into his arms, his
hands going to the small of her back.
Their lips met halfway, and Apollo groaned at how sweet it was.
Like
many of the Gods, he had a reputation for being a hard-case but with
Destiny he felt softer. Not
even Daphne had made him feel this way.
As
she pressed close, there was no way she couldn't be aware of his state
of arousal, but she moved tight against him--almost like she was trying to
climb inside of him.
"Make
love to me Apollo," she gasped, her lips tracing down his cheek to his
neck, where she nipped and kissed as he picked her up in his arms.
Following her directions, mumbled against his skin, he soon found
the bedroom. Laying her gently
on the bed, he followed her down and covered her with his body.
Through the open door he could hear the sultry strains of jazz
music.
His
fingers deft with centuries of practice, he unbuttoned her shirt and
pulled it from her slacks. Her
breasts were covered in a simple white bra, with just the barest of lace
around the edges. He found it
more seductive than many of the outlandish lingerie he had been tempted
with over time.
Between
the cups nested the clasp, begging to be undone.
Dipping his head, he pressed kisses along the undersides of her
breasts and down alone the curve of her stomach, until she was gasping
beneath him. Destiny reached
over him and unclasped her bra, gripped his hair and pulled him up to her.

SNIPPET:
Jacob and Destiny have always worked for the greater good. Jacob is a judge and
Destiny is working towards creating a woman's shelter in town. Although their
paths have never crossed, both will find themselves associated when fate steps
in. This is their story and the story of the god and goddess that love them and
give them their lives back.
REVIEW:
Jacob
is a judge faced with a monumental decision. He will have to determine whether
the defendant in his courtroom should receive the death penalty for the murders
he committed, or if he should give him an extended stay in prison in the hopes
that he can rebuild himself. When he is approached by a blind woman named Thea,
his world turns even more upside down. Now he has another distraction. However,
Thea is a goddess who can see the future. It's her job to help lead Jacob in the
right direction so that more people will not die. What Thea didn't expect was to
fall in love with Jacob. Could it ever work with a goddess and a mortal?
Destiny
wants to give women and children a safe haven to run to if they ever have the
need. When she is approached by Thea, Destiny jumps all over the opportunity to
get the shelter in motion. Unbeknownst to Destiny, however, Thea has another
plan in the works in the form of her fellow god, Apollo. Thea knows these two
will hit it off and live happily ever after if she can just convince the two of
them. When Apollo and Destiny come fact to face, sparks fly and passions roar.
However, Apollo is a god and Destiny's just a mere mortal. Will Apollo give up
his life as a god to spend his life with Destiny?
FATED
TO BE is a fun and sensual journey of new discoveries about each characters' own
selves, friendships and loves. Jacob and Thea are wonderfully drawn
together—sweet and sensual. On the other hand, Apollo and Destiny seemed to
set the pages on fire. They went from dinner to done (hehe). Each set of
characters had a wonderful storyline besides the one that brought them all
together. This is definitely a story I would recommend to anyone looking for
that warm and fuzzy feeling when they end a book.
