  “I want to kiss you so hard, but I don’t want to ruin your lipstick. And I’m afraid it won’t stop there,” Michael said quietly, as the tip of his tongue licked Natalie’s lips long and lazily.

  “We should go,” Natalie whispered as her lips parted, begging him to kiss her.

  “Yes,” Michael’s tongue slipped into her mouth, skimming the inside of her lips and over her even teeth, his lips never touching hers.

  “Natalie, thank you for giving me another chance,” Michael whispered. “Every day I’m going to show you how much I love you, how I’ve always loved you.”

  Natalie’s heart swelled. She’d never been as happy since the day Michael walked back into her life.

  “Me too, Michael,” Natalie promised.

  His tongue swiped along her lips, dying to taste her, relish her, slowly, taking his time.

  “Wait until later, baby, the things I’m going to do to you,” he whispered, their breaths mingling.

  “Mom! Michael, we’re going to be late!” came Alex’s voice from the front door.

  “Thank God for kids,” Michael laughed quietly.

  It was about a half hour drive to the courthouse. Natalie gazed out the window as her mind relived the past two years. Michael had made more than good on his promise. The first year they saw each other at least once every month, sometimes it was only for three days, others it was two weeks. On some visits, it was like they were new lovers, when in fact they were, somewhat, and others it seemed they’d known each other forever, because they had. It was a magical, wonderful journey. Then he moved next to her full time. And that’s when the fun really started. He had to go to New Jersey every so often for business, but it made his homecoming that much sweeter.

  After Michael pulled the BMW into a parking space at the courthouse, he turned to Alex and Angel.

  “Do you ladies have everything?” He hadn’t bothered to ask before they’d left the house. If it was possible for the girls to be any more excited than he and Natalie, they were.

  “Yep,” Angel beamed, proud of herself.

  “Right here,” Alex answered, trying to be very mature and worldly.

  “Ready Natalie?” Michael asked, turning his eyes to the woman he loved.

  “I’ve been ready, Mr. Sterling,” Natalie smiled, a little nervous and a little excited.

  They were getting married today. The only people that were invited to witness the ceremony were the two people who mattered most; Alex and Angel.

  It was very important to Michael and Natalie to include them in every stage of their relationship, well almost every, to avoid any misunderstandings and misconceptions. Michael’s children were older and he’d been working with them in his own way.

  The four of them exited the car. Michael clasped Natalie’s hand tightly in one hand and Angel’s in the other, truly a sweet angel, while Natalie held Alex’s hand, her strong young woman. Mother and daughter shared a glance and it told Natalie everything she needed to know. They knew she was happy, and they were happy for her. Because in their own way, they loved Michael too. The four of them ascended the few steps of the courthouse, to start a new part of their lives.

  Finally.

  ***

  Love doesn’t die. Sometimes the right person comes along at the wrong time. Sometimes it comes at the right time for one, but not the other. And sometimes, if we are really lucky, it comes along twice.

  I was lucky.

  The End

  This was an incredible journey, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.

  AUTHOR’S NOTE

  Addiction

  Michael fought with an addiction we can’t see, one where the dragon that consumed him at times doesn’t need something that’s bought or found in some sleazy crack-house. But the struggle and anguish is real, none the less. Sexual addiction can destroy lives, it can rip everything away that one holds sacred, leaving the addict lost, scared, alone, and confused.

  According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, AAMFT, website, nearly 12 million people suffer from sexual addiction in the United States. And the numbers are rising. Their lives have become unmanageable, they have crossed over lines they would have never crossed before, with negative consequences resulting from the behaviors, affecting the lives of all involved causing pain, heart ache, and almost irreparable damage. The addiction becomes so overwhelming and extreme, they do anything with anyone to get what they crave.

  Because there was a history of addiction in Michael’s family, his mother was an alcoholic, he was predisposed to addiction. It was in his blood. And although there are no chemicals involved with sex, the body produces its own ‘feel good’ nuerochemicals that are released during sex giving feelings of attachment and even love. Also, according to the Medical Daily website, both men’s and women’s bodies and voices respond similarly as someone who has taken heroin when an orgasm is reached. So, yeah, you definitely get high.

  The problems arise when there are existing feelings of no self-worth, history of abandonment, the things Michael experienced as a child, compounded with his genetic addictive pre-disposition. Along with these is abuse, (physical/emotional/sexual). The sex is used by the addict to be the person they so desperately yearn to be, to feel all they long to feel, and to numb-out the feelings of rejection the addict lives with, and to get the high.

  In my opinion, this is a very dangerous pit to fall into because of the feelings of love and affection the mind is shot up with during the act, feelings that we all want and crave. Feelings of importance, of being wanted and appreciated, all things that can’t be obtained in a drug or bottle. But only in the arms of another. This can lead to a very vicious cycle, which undoubtedly will end in the destruction of families and lives.

  There is help available. The most beneficial, after recognizing the problem, is therapy which can be done individually, in groups, and marital. A detailed plan of action also needs to be in place.

  The end goal is not to eliminate sex, but to allow healing and forgiveness for any and all trauma the couples and families have lived with and experienced. And then to establish a loving relationship filled with trust and intimacy, I believe.

  And because of the romantic in me, this is when the magic will happen.

  “I am just a woman, like many of you, who has lived through beauty and ugliness, happiness (sometimes extreme), and sadness (sometimes heart-wrenching), and have grown to love life and myself even more. I write because I love the characters. I am madly and hopelessly in love with them and want to share them with you. Life is beautiful and is meant to be enjoyed day by day. Although, at times, you have to pick out the good stuff with a magnifying glass, like a needle in a haystack, but enjoyed none the less. The stories I put on paper, I think, help us to find that enjoyment a little bit more.

  I am just a woman who is in love with love………..<3”

  One Night With a STRANGER

  I thought I was fine. My scars were healing, my dirty little secret was safely buried, and I was livi
ng an almost normal life. Then a stranger came into my life and blew the doors off the prison I had built around myself. After one night of complete erotic abandon, all I wanted to do was give myself to Marco in any way he wanted me, over and over again. I surrendered to him and it was more than I could have hoped for.

  I should have known my past would rear its ugly head and annihilate my chance for happiness once again. I couldn’t let my problems destroy the man I was coming to love more than life itself.

  The only way to save him was to give him up.

  Made to SWITCH

  Life can change in an instant.

  Betrayal. Just like that everything I had built, my entire life, was falling apart. My world threatened to collapse beneath me. Everything was slipping through my hands, and it looked like there wasn’t a damn thing I could do to stop the destruction. I was going to lose everything, but the worst part was, I was going to lose Elizabeth. My only chance went against everything that I was: Surrender control to my lover.

  PERFECT...coming soon

  Brian Daniels has life by the balls. He’s gorgeous, so much so, it hurts so good to look at him. And his dominant sexual skills leaves the women he’s with in a state of complete erotic delirium for days, knowing exactly how to bring her the most pleasure. The dark and dangerous beast inside him, the one that was born in the Marines, is released in the cage when he fights, and in the bedroom when the women are tied begging for more. He is absolutely perfect. But he’s miserable, empty, and hollow, wondering if this is all there is to life.

  Everything about Brooke stops traffic. Her perfect body and face have men following behind her like a trail of whimpering little puppy dogs. And she hates everything about her, because it destroyed her. She lives with its curse every day, one that will never allow a man to get close to her heart. She’s a brilliant marine biologist fighting against the clock amid brutal shark attacks, trying to find a way to stop the animal before it strikes again. But she’s defenseless against the monster inside her.

  When Brian and Brooke collide, it’s an erotic war zone, one that Brian will not lose.

  Can he save her from her demons? Can she finally submit and let Brian free her from her hell? Or will tragedy strike first and rip Brian from her, destroying any chance they have at love?
