KINK WITH A TWIST
Have you seen the recent definitions of kink floating around the internet? Turns out it’s pretty broad and
encompasses great variety. One person’s kink may be another person’s vanilla.
I’m not sure exactly how Kitty Paige and Jared Jacobs would describe their
preferences, but I think most would probably agree they’ve moved beyond
vanilla.
Kitty is a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners kind of gal. While my
husband and I were writing this story, we kept wondering what she’d pull next
in her effort to push Jared past his limits so he wouldn’t be a threat. She was
full of surprises – for us, and for him.
Some of the internet banter has to do with the difference between kink
and fetish. That, too, would be a difficult distinction in The Best Man. Kitty’s favorite color – one she often boldly wears –
is yellow. In a flirty note accompanying yellow roses he sends after their
disastrous first meeting, Jared calls her his “vision in yellow.” In the
excerpt below, he’s contemplating what gift to send next, and you can see where
his fantasies run: he selects a silk scarf.
The scarf becomes a central focus in their sex play – kink with a twist
– so much so that it nearly became a character in its own right. Their play is
what some would call soft BDSM, since there’s no major pain involved and each
plays the dom in turn. Each of them uses the scarf not just for its erotic
impact, but as a foil against which they work out issues of trust, power,
control and submission, moment by moment and in their evolving relationship.
We’re not sure either of them was prepared for what would ensue from Jared’s
simple choice, but we know readers will enjoy the sizzling steam as their
relationship heats up.
The Best Man
Bad boy meets bad girl – is that all there is?
Passionate, hard working and every inch a business
woman,Chicago realtor Kitty Paige likes her sex raw and edgy, and sees no
reason to limit herself to just one man. Never married and not quite forty, the
striking blonde has successfully raised her daughter, Susan, and is already
pushing her new-found freedom to the limits.
Wealthy commodities middle-man and race horse owner Jared
Jacobs is father of the best man at Susan’s wedding. He is smitten by the
vision in yellow who exudes sex as she escorts her daughter down the aisle.
Also single, the handsome mustached California ranch owner with mischievous
eyes views his sex life as a series of splendid love affairs, and sets out to
make Kitty next on the list.
Together and apart, their chemistry is explosive, and their
sparkling repartee and steamy sex catch both partners by surprise. Jared is
first to recognize he’s fallen in love. When Kitty panics, can Jared finesse
his every move and reel her in?

EXCERPT
Whistling to himself, Jared walked into his bedroom, where he’d already
laid out the day’s clothes. It was time to select the next salvo for softening
up Kitty Paige.
Was she fantasizing about him at all? He sure hoped so. He didn’t like
the thought of doing all the fantasizing.
What next? He didn’t want to appear overly eager. He’d wait a week, but
it wasn’t too soon to consider his next step. He thought of Kitty’s
below-the-shoulder length blond hair. She’d worn it pouffed up for the wedding,
with half of it falling over one shoulder and the rest down her back. It wasn’t
difficult at all to imagine drawing the blond tresses over a breast, using them
to play hide and seek with a nipple.
Would her nipples harden quickly or would they rise slowly?
Jared tugged his trousers up over his arousal and tucked his shirt in.
Carefully, he buckled the belt.
Did she ever wear her hair up? She’d look stunning with it up. Not that
she didn’t with it down.
He chuckled, toying with that image. A scarf. A yellow scarf. A yellow
Thai silk scarf, like he’d seen in Bangkok
His decision made, he reached for the bedside phone to make the
arrangements. He wished he could see her face when she’d seen the roses and the
card. Damn, he wished he could see her when she ran the yellow silk scarf
through her fingers. Would she appreciate its beauty? Would she run the pads of
her fingers over it wishing she was running them over his flesh? Would her
wrists tingle, aware the scarf would be perfect for binding them?
Jared jerked himself alert at the demanding voice on the phone. “Yes,”
he said at last, “I’m here. I’d like to place an order—a rush order.”

SILK SCARF: In case you hadn’t guessed, I’m very fond of the silk scarf
