Separation Anxiety

Separation Anxiety


Climbing into the bed next to him every night.
Exhausted from the day. 
Sliding my fingers down his arm just to feel his skin.
Be close to him for just a moment. 
He responds to my touch moving in closer. 


Knowing that he needs me as much as I him sends a shiver through me. Being apart every day while our bodies go through the motions of work and play is slowly killing something deep inside. 


The want to climb into him, become one so that we may never spend another moment without the other overwhelms my soul.

Bound by Bre Meli

We sit in silence, staring deep into one another.
Me on your lap, legs wrapped around your waist, pistol in hand.
One bullet to play our little game of Russian roulette.
Jagged breath leaves us as the bullet is slipped into the chamber.
Smashing your lips to mine as I place the barrel against your Temple.
Click.
We blink away the moment.
You caress my body as I place the barrel to my head.
Click.
One cannot live without the other.
One always causing pain to another.
Today, one will walk away as the other meets their end.
Choices made that cannot be broken.
Memories that will fade, unspoken.
Tears fill my eyes, the barrel tapping against your skin.
Will this be the last breath I feel you take in?
Click.
You flinch with the notion that the bullet was not meant for you.
Taking one last look at a love that was once so strong.
Finding it hard to see where it all went wrong.
Shakey hand moves the barrel past my eye.
Looking back once more before it is my time to die.
Just as the trigger is gently finessed, you jerk forward and place your temple to mine, letting the bullet flow through us both.
The thought of us not together is too hard too feel.
You catch my eyes just before the darkness comes.
Needing me to know that where I am you will always be.
In the abyss for all eternity.

~The intensity of a relationship can feel like a loaded gun in your hands. What happens when there is only one bullet left and the two of you have no fight left? Bound to one another, desperate to get away, be free of the schackles you feel digging into your wrists. 

Are you willing to be bound to that one person, forever?

Check out Bre Meli in these places.....

A tribute to the most amazing man in the world~ My Dad


I apologize for being absent from my blog. I've been having some strange mental issues that my doctors and I have been trying to resolve. Then on Sept. 20th my father unexpectedly left this world.

Here is his obituary, a tribute to the most wonderful, loving, exceptional man that I had the pleasure of calling Dad.

He was so passionate about life and family. He was not only my Daddy, he was my confidant and my best friend. He never stopped me from making mistakes. I needed to learn that lesson. He was always there to help me pick up the pieces, no Nugent, no lecture, just a hug and some good advice. He left is too soon. He will be missed by so many. 

Always and forever a part of my heart.

He hides them behind the lyrics of his songs. New found fame is nice, but Ethan wants something more. He wants someone who knows there’s more to him than what meets the eye. And that someone is Ally.

Let's help those in need!!


Alright Everyone!! Today is my oldest son's birthday and in his honor, I want to help those in need. From Sept. 13th until the 20th of this month, half of each book I sell is going to hurricane disaster relief. They are gathering funds here where I live to send down that way and I'd love to add a nice chunk to their total.

Like many others, I have family and friends down in Florida that were affected by both hurricanes and possibly the one on the horizon.

So, any book sales from Sept. 13th to the 20th, half will be donated to the hurricane disaster relief fund to help those affected. This includes paperbacks. If you comment on the form that you are buying a paperback during these 7 days, I will wave shipping fees!
(Each paperback comes signed with a few extra goodies inside!)

Thank you all for your help and patience in this time of distruction and sorrow for so many Americans!!

With all my love!

Roxanne cover reveal

Chicks Dig the Accent, a modern-day fairy tale rom-com with Loose Id Publishing, is now available in paperback! Description: Molly Ivers has always known she’d marry a foreign man with a delicious accent. Six months ago, in a night of unbridled passion, Molly gave her virginity to her friend and sexy-as-can-be neighbor, rocker Evan Castle. Unfortunately, thanks to his swarm of constant groupies, things didn’t work out, but they remained friends. Now, after having just broken up with her boring, run-of-the-mill right-wing boyfriend, she’s on the verge of finishing her graduate degree and moving to Paris. She is desperate to shake things up--and find that sexy foreign man. She’s had a crush on Nicholas Sullivan, her British professor, for as long as she can remember. So when opportunity comes knocking to spice up her appearance in the form of a French life coach, she hires Jean Luc Dubois to help her let her hair down and become more Parisian and hip to reflect the person she is within. Thanks to Jean Luc’s magic, she starts to catch her hunky English prof’s eye, but the more time she spends with Evan, the more she begins to realize that her Prince Charming might just be the one she’s known all along. Buy Links:
Excerpt: “So, you’re going through with it?” “Going through with what?” They both looked into the living room, where a bemused Evan stood half-naked and barefoot in a pair of black pajama bottoms. Molly licked nectar off the peach on the end of her fork to save it from dropping to the floor. Evan’s jaw tightened, and his eyes gleamed as he zeroed in on her. He cleared his throat and lifted an empty half gallon of milk. “Sorry, you left the door cracked open. I came to borrow milk.” “Jesus, Evan! Knock next time, or at least text. I’m in my panties!” Nell smacked him on the arm and tugged down her nightshirt as she ran past him into her bedroom. “Sorry,” he said, but he seemed distracted as he strode toward Molly, eyes glued to her lips. She sucked the rest of her peach slice into her mouth and wiped at a little of the nectar at the corner of her lips. Her cheeks blazed at the hungry longing in his eyes. She turned away to open the fridge to get the milk. It wasn’t uncommon for them to borrow food from one another, and he always watched out for them. He had a comforting, protective nature she’d gotten used to. She grew painfully aware of her night shorts, which had a tendency to ride up her butt and cut off at midthigh, and her thin white tank top. Could he see her nipples? And jeez, Louise, why did they have to harden every time he came near her? She pushed hair out of her face and began to pour the milk into his empty half gallon. “Help yourself to the fruit in the bowl there. Nell had leftovers. How much milk do you want?” “Enough for a bowl of cereal, please. I’ll get some at the store later.” She’d only heard his voice drop as low and husky during sex. She stopped after she poured enough milk, then gave him extra. Evan reached over her to open a nearby drawer. He took out a fork. He inserted it into the flesh of a peach slice and brought it to his lips. “Forbidden fruit, hmm?” He teased the fruit around his lips with a wicked smirk. He winked at her and sank his teeth into half the peach as he watched her, licking it. Her mouth went dry. Oh, he knew what he was doing. He chewed, licked his bottom lip, and held out the fork. “Want some?” Before she could gain common sense and say no, she closed her eyes and parted her lips. He slid the remaining slice in. Molly closed her mouth around it. He withdrew the fork tines slowly from her closed lips, and his finger grazed her lower lip. “You’ve got a bit on your…” She opened her eyes and sharply inhaled. He’d moved closer, right there, and was about to kiss her. She turned away, burning. Bonus Excerpt (NSFW): “You know”—he fingered a wayward strand of hair near her face—“we haven’t been alone together since…that night. Funny the way it comes back around, hmm? So, what were you and Grouchy McGee talking about a minute ago? What are you going through with?” “Nothing. Just this new thing I may or may not try. It’s a sort of…makeover.” He tilted his head and scanned her face. “Why do you need a makeover? You’re perfect as you are.” She blushed and got busy with the batter. He’d continually shown an interest, no matter how study-obsessed or sleep-ridden she looked. She pretended it didn’t make a difference, but it more than flattered her; it made her feel special, desired. Once she’d stirred the batter enough, she put it in the pan to cook and found her gaze locked on his chest. Did he put on more muscle since they’d had sex? Or had it been too long since she’d seen him without his shirt? If she reached out, without too much effort, she’d touch him. She fought the urge, and he cracked a smile at her obvious dilemma. She turned back to stir the eggs and kept her eyes averted and hands busy. “I-I don’t know. I’m going to try a new look. You know, to get ready to go to Paris.” “So you’re still going to go, huh?” “Mmm-hmm.” He moved into her peripheral vision. His lips came right behind her ear, and his nose nudged her hair. She tensed. “I’ve got to tell you, Molly, what happened between us…” His warm hand slid around front, below her tank top. His fingers grazed her bare stomach, skin to skin. He waited, gauging her reaction. “Is this okay?” She almost shook her head, but she wanted his touch! She hadn’t gone without sex since being with him, but her body sang at the heat of his palm, and she realized she was starved for him, for what he and he alone could give her. She gave a barely there nod, and he continued to caress her stomach. “What happened was… I don’t know what to call it. Amazing, sacred. We’ve kept it between you and me, but if you need someone—” She gasped as his hand dived into her shorts and he slid his fingers over her clit, between her pussy lips. His fingers slowly made their way back up. He thumbed her sensitive nub, and she closed her eyes and tried to breathe. “I’m here if you, you know, feel the need. No strings attached. I’ve had my eye on you for a long time now. But I have a feeling you already knew that.” His voice dropped to a low and sexy growl. He moved his hand farther down, and she leaned her head back onto his shoulder as he thrust two fingers inside. He continued to stimulate her engorged clit while he steadily pumped in and out of her. She let out a small whimper, and his lips moved against her ear. “Shh. Our little secret, right? I have a secret of my own. I can’t stop thinking about you. What you gave me, what we did together—do you think of me too? Hmm?”

The Love and Justice Novella Series:
Her Husband's Brother
Cuff Me
In the Shadows

**COMING SOON**
$9.99 on Amazon
$20 for a signed copy (shipping included)

Her Husband's Brother:
Lexie Hayes knows her marriage is over. After working endlessly to fix things, she’s decided to move on and find happiness elsewhere. The last thing she needs is to run into her sexy-as-hell brother-in-law at a nightclub on her birthday. He’s cocky, arrogant, and so damn kissable she can barely hold on to her sanity.

Jonathon Hayes has always wanted his sister-in-law. She’s gorgeous, feisty, and unbeknownst to her, married to the largest drug supplier in the Houston and San Antonio areas. When fate puts them side by side, lust and tensions run high. He wants her and he knows she wants him.

Can he keep his feelings on a shelf long enough to keep her safe while he dethrones his drug lord brother, or will temptation overwhelm good sense and put them both on a path to destruction?

Cuff Me:
When Lynette Montgomery's older sister dies from breast cancer, she quickly steps in to take care of her two young nephews. The boys are sweet, caring, and Lynette has no idea what she's doing. Terrified of failing her sister, she does everything she can to present herself as the parental figure she feels the boys need, even swearing off the sexy-as-can-be cop she just so happened to have a one-night stand with outside of her best friend's house.

Robert Barletta is a decorated and respected cop with the San Antonio PD. After having just played a key role in bringing down Houston and San Antonio's largest drug operation, he should be on top of the world. Unfortunately for him, he can't get that one night with a smoking hot blonde temptress out of his head.

When he's forced to take some time off, and the two come face to face, will they be able to keep their attraction on the back burner? Or has this game of cat and mouse just started?

In the Shadows:
Rosie Hobbs is in trouble. Big trouble. The kind of trouble that has her scared to leave her apartment. When she first met Aaron he was a fun guy who liked to have a good time. Just the kind of man she prefers. But when he wants more, and she tells him she's not interested, he loses it. Continuous phone calls, showing up where she's at, vandalizing her property... She finds herself turning to an unexpected protector, her best friend's ridiculously sexy brother.

Conner Montgomery is a lawyer and he deals with this type of BS every day. However, something about Rosie has him crossing the professional line. Is it her gorgeous smile? Her charm? Or the fact that he can't even look at her without imagining her body wrapped around his? Whatever the case, when Aaron shows up at a get-together and scares Rosie half to death, Conner's determined to make sure he can't get anywhere near her again.

When the stakes get higher, and the threats more real, will Conner be able to keep Rosie protected, or will their soaring passion cloud their judgment?

RANDOM QUESTION...... It's a bit long but I need opinions!!!


What do you do when the sex is all you have left?

Ok, let me set up a scenario for you.... You've been with your partner for some time and you pretty much want to choke them when you're awake but you know that when bed time comes your going to get taken like the first night you met. The passion, desire and need to be with them is so strong that you can look over the stupid things that made you bicker all day. You actually get excited throughout the day knowing what will happen when you go to bed. Lately though, it seems like it's all rushed, the is no excitement, no need to(@ad the thought of even taking off your clothes for the few minutes that the sex will happen. You do anyway as they still give you goose bumps when they enter you.

It becomes a battle within. Do you just say no or just go through the motions because you know it still feels amazing and then feel guilty because you gave in even when you didn't want to. Your mind knows that there are still those moments that feel fantastic. But are those moments enough to keep dealing with the daily crap, the feeling of being treated like a child, the want to bang your head against the wall because you spoke and started a conversation on accident and now they are babbling on about the stupidest shit! In the back of your head you're thinking, "Why did I even speak??"

Why? Because you know how amazing that feeling is going to be later that evening will be. Even if it does only last for about 30 seconds. It is so worth it.

Do you stay and deal with all the daily bullshit for the sex??

I'm researching a new idea and need some feedback!! He may be a huge sexy hunky but is it worth staying for the sex that may not happen again for days at a time, sometimes over a month before it happens again. Because he is not in the mood as much as you are. (You would think after this long he would be ecstatic that you still want him so much.)

Would you leave the stability of this relationship to start new and hoping that the sex doesn't fade over time, or hell is even good to begin with when you know the person next to you can make you walk funny the next day?

Keep in mind that the only time sex happens is in the bed, at night only. Attempting to get them to do it during the day or a place out of the bedroom is out of the question. Back when they first met, when they drank like fish. He was willing to do it any time or place. I'm guessing to make get happy. Puppy love can be a good thing by it never lasts long enough....

What would you do??

I have the story idea and how I want it to go but this is the twist. Can she leave this and stay away when she finds that the men cannot compare to what she had relationship? Can a new man be trained? Hell do you even have the every to do it all over again?

Figure the woman to be in her thirties, no kids, really stressful, great paying job. She does have to travel. He never surprises her, sends her flowers or naughty gifts. It's like there is not a passionate bone in his body, except when he takes her at night in their bed.....

Would you deal or Just start over, hoping that this one will just all come naturally? That he will feel you so much that crazy gifts show up randomly because he thought of you while at the store. (Don't we all want this man!!)

Blurb for Tainted Rose
Maybelline Beasley enjoys her life in the Silver Leaf 55+ community until her neighbor is murdered. With all eyes point at her as the prime suspect, she struggles with her fear of cops and her attraction to Detective Billy Bob Cooter. Can he save her from the real murderer who’s looking for an escape goat? Or will her second change at love come to an end by a killer’s gun?





Excerpt:
“You have reached the 911 operator for Sitwell. What’s your emergency?” The calm voice appeared pleasant enough, but Maybelline wasn’t sure how long it would stay that way.
“I believe my neighbor is in trouble. She likes to hang out on top of her roof and meditate.” An unmovable lump formed in her throat. Swallowing her emotions, she started again. “But, she’s, uh, not moving and lying slightly off kilter as if something is wrong.”
“Could she have fallen asleep?” The operator suggested.
“No, I tried...” She stopped mid-sentence as she realized the woman might have a point. After all, Rose could be a little deaf. To test the theory, Maybelline searched for a way to make noise. “Wait, a second.”
She leaned into the car, set her hand in the middle of the steering wheel, and laid on her horn. The blast echoed around her, and she turned to glance up at her neighbor.
Rose didn’t move.
The certainty of an adverse outcome resonated through Maybelline’s body. The heaviness of grief robbed her of strength. She sagged against the car’s doorframe for support and lifted her cellphone back to her ear.
“Madam, madam, you don’t need to blow the horn. That might frighten her, and she could fall off the roof.” The operator sounded irritated by the interruption.
“But how else could I tell if she was asleep?” Maybelline didn’t understand the woman’s problem.
“Why don’t I just send someone out to check on your friend?”
“That would be helpful, thanks.” Maybelline lowered the phone knowing the 911 operator would want to keep her on the line, but she had no intentions of doing any such thing. She had gone through the whole rigmarole the last time and had no plans to do it again.
“Miss, I need...”
Maybelline hit the disconnect button and stuffed her cell in the pocket of her jeans.
