Stolen Breeze : Mitch Davies

Stolen Breeze : Mitch DaviesStolen Breeze

If you don’t know you’re committing a crime, are you innocent?

All Ben Beck wants is to start over with a new opportunity. So when a millionaire business man offers him a position as a crew member on his yacht, Ben decides to throw himself in the middle of the ocean with a confusing group of strangers.

So what if he’s never sailed before, the job opportunities in his home town didn’t offer Hawaii and Tahiti. How could he pass up an offer that did?

Sailing to exotic locales as a crew member of the luxury yacht, Aurawind, and catering to rich clients willing to pay for a taste of Polynesia, sounded like a dream job, an unexpected windfall experience.

The gleam of sailing to the sun of the southern seas on a shining new yacht blinds his view of what lies ahead.

Not all the members of the operation carry the same glossy hope for the venture. The captain thinks Ben is going to be too much to handle; the other sailor in the crew gives Ben the creeps. After a confusing start to the journey, loaded with misinformation, Ben can’t help but wonder if the other members of his crew are friends or enemies. Maybe it’s time Ben had second thoughts.

No level of smooth sailing could prepare him for being attacked or having a gun pointed in his direction. From the idyllic life of charter sailing and Polynesian island hopping, to a life and death struggle on a tilting yacht deck at night, Ben navigates in hopes of salvaging his dream.

Will the crew, the sea, or the wind shred Ben’s canvas?

The Inn of Fallen Leaves : Mitch Davies

The Inn of Fallen Leaves : Mitch DaviesThe Inn of Fallen Leaves

Journey to feudal Japan and the banishment of the samurai class. The tale begins at a quiet inn on the Nakasendo highway with a disillusioned samurai, Itashima Chobei.

He is confronted by Akiyama, a samurai on a mysterious errand for his powerful leader, whose actions turned the serene mountain inn of Fallen Leaves into a state of chaos.

At the center of their personal battle is a beautiful woman, Miyo. While she is attached to one, and coveted by the other, both men are driven by the respect for her love. When Miyo abruptly disappears, Chobei must pursue Akiyama across the beautiful yet brutal Japan of the 1860s.

Both samurai will face an ultimate question: is there still a place for loyalty to a clan, or are the lives of individuals more important?

Bribing An Officer : K.N. Kyles

Bribing An Officer : K.N. KylesBribing An Officer: First Charge

Tracy isn’t surprised when a pair of red and blue lights flash behind her while driving late at night, in the wrong part of town. When the young, attractive, policeman approaches the window, asking about an improper tag light, she breathed a sigh of relief. With her birthday an hour away, her natural charm, an obvious rookie, and lots of skin showing, she’d be on her way in five minutes.

She couldn’t have been more wrong.

**********

“Uh – sure. You can search the vehicle,” I said. See? Nothing to hide here! I prayed reverse psychology would work on him, but his dark eyes twinkled.

“Please step out of the vehicle, ma’am.”

“Hands on the hood of the vehicle, ma’am,” he repeated a third time. “If I don’t find anything else, maybe we can end tonight with a court summons.”

He’d said all I needed to hear to comply.

I put my hands on the car, happy to have found a solution.

Without warning, he pulled my arm from under me, pressing his body against my displayed rear. He stretched both arms in front of me and leaving my chest pressed against the hood.

“More like that,” he said very close to my ear.

Control was the name of the game, and he had it.

**********

“More like that,” he said very close to my ear.

Control was the name of the game, and he had it.

**********

He pressed against me with a hardness that had nothing to do with a gun, badge, or anything other than him. Every muscle tensed even as he backed off me and I fought the urge to move into a more comfortable stance, painfully aware of how turned on the domination made me feel.

“That’s perfect, ma’am. Just maintain that position and we’ll get along just fine.”

I turned my head, trying to get sight of him.

“Face forward, ma’am.” He twisted my head with a handful of hair and chills broke over my body.

I had begged – begged – boyfriends to be rough with me and always they were afraid to hurt me. His disregard for my comfort affected me in ways I didn’t expect, but in those situations, I possessed control. Here, I had none.

“Before we begin, is there anything at all on you that I should know about? Any needles, knives?”

“No, sir,” I said, voice small. “Nothing.”

“Are you lying?” His voice was thick with sarcasm.

I winced at the accusation.

His hands started at my shoulders, patting down my back before running down my sides, lightly brushing my breasts in the process. I expected more groping, but he kept moving downward, moving to my hips and down my outer legs all the way to my bare ankles and then journeyed back up my inner thighs.

He cupped me roughly from behind, pinching my mound, encircling my waist with a strong arm to pull me closer. A familiar heat between my legs responded, but injustice reared its ugly head and the feminist in me roared.

A police officer shouldn’t do this! I pushed up from the car in protest but found my position didn’t allow for much movement.

“Stay where you are, ma’am. I don’t want to hurt you.”

I relaxed my arms. What had I gotten myself into?

“I don’t have anything else on me,” I moaned into the hood, trying to disguise the desire in my voice.

“Stop.” I didn’t mean it.

“I’ll make you a deal,” he whispered. “If you aren’t soaking wet right now, we can forget this ever happened.”

He didn’t hesitate at the flimsy bikini bottom beneath ,my shorts. My eyes closed in shame, knowing what he’d find.

He laughed when he found my entrance, slippery and hot.

“Oh, you are in trouble, aren’t you?”
