The Invitation

By Kimberly Zant

Remy Chevalier was to women what catnip was to cats and Abigail was no more immune to his powerful Cajun charm than the next female. One smile from him was enough to give her heart palpitations, but she knew her limitations. Ordinary women didn’t end up with such extraordinary specimens of manhood. With a single, perfect rose, however, someone special entered her otherwise dull life, a secret admirer who’s set out to fulfill her darkest desires.

This is a work of fiction. All characters, events, and places are of the author’s imagination and not to be confused with fact. Any resemblance to living persons or events is merely coincidence.

Chapter One

I had been told that I was a prude, frigid, uptight more times than I liked to think. Not surprisingly, this name calling did nothing to improve my sense of insecurity and lack of self-worth. I’d always prided myself on my appearance. I worked very hard to keep my figure in shape and to dress neatly, but, deep down, I knew I was only average--average height, weight, intelligence, and physical appeal. I had a good figure because of my hard work, and I’d had the good fortune to be born with pretty hair, but I was so ‘median’, and quiet, people were more inclined to ignore my presence than to notice me.

I was almost embarrassed, under the circumstances, to admit to being a librarian when anyone asked what I did for a living considering the fact that I represented the cliché to an absolute T, but I loved my job, for all that. No one who’d ever breathed could possibly have loved books any more than I did, or found any more succor for the lack of a happy and/or exciting life through the pages of a book.

In a general way, I was happy enough to be ignored. After a childhood of being tormented by other children, it was almost comforting to have attained invisibility. The catch was that the one man in the world I wanted almost beyond breathing was as completely unaware of my existence as everyone else in the world.

Unlike me, Remy was one of those ‘package’ deals that was to women what catnip was to cats. Physically attractive in the way of those big boned, loose limbed, purely male looking man’s man sort of ways, his charisma left even his physical appeal in the shade. If ever there existed a man who could charm the birds out of the trees, Remy Chevalier was he, and the Cajun accent he’d worked so hard to rid himself of that indicated his origins only enhanced his appeal.

He’d been married once, briefly, but after only three years, he was free again to delight and tempt every female over eight and under eighty who had even the most remote contact with him.

I had such heart palpitations any time he even so much as glanced in my direction that it was all

[julied2 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Ashton and Justine have been friends for 2 years. They made a pact not to ruin their friendship up with any one night stands, but for Ash it was getting hard because JJ was a beauty and he was going crazy with wanting her even though she say's done with handsome men.But school is out now and he's tired of waiting, tonight he'll wait no more.This was an entertaining story, and I love Ashton, (my fellow country man) and we're ended with a great cliffhanger. I can't wait for sequel.
