Haunted Seductions
Page 19
He felt her body move as she laughed, then his own breath caught as two hands slid over his belly and up under his shirt. “You know, if you don’t stop harping on about those frickin’ twins, I’m gonna have to pay Honey a visit and borrow a few of her toys.”
“Really?” Louis tried not to sound too interested, and failed. “Like what?”
“Hmm.” Her fingertips found his nipples and pinched.
“Ouch.” The little pain shot directly to his cock.
“Like her handcuffs. Maybe whatever she used on Maurice last night. I saw those marks. Wanna bet she whipped his ass too?”
“No bets. She probably did.” He laughed.
“So perhaps you’d like it if you found yourself lashed to the bed…”
Louis’s eyes crossed at the mere thought of it. “Depends on what comes next…”
“You would, babe. No question about it.” She paused, her hands still against his skin. “Of course, there would only be one of me…” Her fingertips went exploring beneath the waistband of his jeans. “Think that would be enough?”
Louis grinned. “Dunno. We might have to spend several hours finding out.”
“Yeah. At the very least.” Cory rolled her eyes as he turned in her arms. He dipped his head to kiss her, promising himself she’d be rolling those eyes of hers more than once tonight.
And Louis Beekman was a man who always kept his promises.
About the Authors
Sahara Kelly
British born and bred, Sahara Kelly has enjoyed writing and reading Regency romances for many decades, beginning in her childhood with books by Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland.
Arriving in America with her almost-complete collection of Leslie Charteris’ Saint novels, all the original James Bonds, and a passion for Monty Python, Sahara’s new life eventually expanded to include a husband, offspring, citizenship, and a certain amount of acclimation to her new surroundings.
She never quite managed to attain a level of comfort with the American way of spelling, however, and creating a Regency novel offers challenges in that regard. So you’ll see words that British readers will recognize, but American readers might perhaps find unusual. It’s a choice… should one write an English romance using English spelling? Sahara has come around to that belief. She can now enjoy the extra “u” which has always seemed so colourful…
After more than two decades of writing, Sahara is now enjoying the greater freedom offered to authors by the rapidly expanding self-publishing scene and looking forward to many more such experiences.
Being freed of external controlling restraints has opened doors—for Sahara and many other writers. There are now no impediments; no obstructions barring the path from writer to reader. Which is, in many ways, exactly as originally intended when that first storyteller sat on a rock outside her cave, tugged her bearskin around her shoulders and smiled at her kids across the open fire with the words “Once upon a time...” (or however it sounded several million years ago.)

This is where Sahara shares none of the intimate details of her life, but will present you with a list of books she'd like you to buy so that she can go do research on a beach in Aruba and be pampered with massages accompanied by drinks with umbrellas in them. She’ll send you a postcard. Thank you.
When not dreaming of lazing on tropical beaches, Sahara has a modestly active social presence on the Internet. Take a look:
