I love books. It has been a dream of mine since I was a child to author a book. A couple of years I gave it a try. It's hard work and I'm still learning but despite that...I love it! I love creating new worlds and falling in love with the characters that I create. I love hearing from fans or watching the downloads of my books increase. I love it because I know that in some way, I'm reaching someone that I wouldn't have before. Being an author is a great gift and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share my stories with the world.

A Gentleman's Curse

The Tainted Series

I loved the feel of her small wet tongue as it glided across my chest. I knew where she was headed as she quickly twirled her tongue around my nipple and then descended towards my navel. Rachel and I have been married for 7 years and in that time I could probably count, on one hand, the number of times she’s given me head. Our current sex life was nothing like the way it was when we first met. Personally, I still found her attractive and I’ve worked hard to keep up my physique so that I didn’t fall victim to the stereotype of the lazy husband; nonetheless, our sex life left a lot to be desired.

Rachel and I were introduced through a mutual friend. When we first started dating it was like living in a porno. Our sex life was outstanding, adventurous and always left me wanting more. However, it seemed like the moment we said our vows, all of that disappeared. Granted, I didn’t marry her for the sex. She really was my best friend and I wanted to spend my life with her. The sex was just a fantastic bonus. For this reason, although our sex life had cooled off, I’m still just as in love with her as I was at the beginning.

Just as I expected, as her tongue descended towards my navel she hesitated. After twirling her tongue around my bellybutton, she headed right back up north, towards my lips. I’ve tried talking to her about my disappointment brought about by the changes in our sex life but it was to no avail. According to her, she was satisfied and she thought that I was being too picky and claimed that she was just as adventurous as she had been before we got married.

So, as she crawled back up my body, I wasn’t surprised by the lack of foreplay on her part. But that lack of surprise didn’t stop the fire in me from dwindling just a bit.

I want you, baby. I can’t wait. Her voice was seductive but that wasn’t enough to stop me from wanting a little more attention.

She rolled off of me, her legs spread and her arm stretched out towards her nightstand, reaching for the lube. I rolled on top of her and placed my hand on top of hers. Hold on. Let me take care of you.

She kissed me quickly on the lips, I don’t want to wait, Jake. Lets just use this.

I knew arguing about it would ruin the little bit of a mood that we had going on, so I silently acquiesced.

I didn’t say anything but I was beginning to feel like she just wasn’t attracted to me. The lack of passion between our bed sheets made me feel like her sleeping with me was little more than transactional. It was as if sex was the price she had to pay to be married and she loathed paying. No matter how straightforward I was with my needs, or how creative I tried to be, nothing seemed to bring back that old spark. I guess I just had to get used to the idea of that this was going to be my life now. Only 29 and I was already looking down the barrel of a long sex-starved marriage.

The sex wasn’t much to write home about. Rachel lied on her back with her legs spread moaning as I delivered the quick performance she wanted.

Wham. Bam. Thank you ma’am. We were done.

After we were finished, just like clockwork, she picked up her phone and spent the next hour tooling around the Internet. Some nights it felt like she was more interested in her phone than she was in me.

With nothing more to do, I closed my eyes and waited until I drifted to sleep.

The next morning I awoke at 5, went for
