from the bottom of my heart

As I put on the finishing touches for Educating Thalia this morning, I don’t want it to end…  The story idea began when @devikafernando teased me with a photo of Chris, in glasses, in September 2016.  I wasn’t in the mood to write it, but we made jokes anyway.  Two days later I had 900 words about a sassy barmaid.  And that was it.  We let it go. The story came back in late January 2017, partially induced by a high fever during my winter flu.  This time it was real and it was on- we knew what we wanted and where the story was going.  And TBH, a lot of it was “how can I kill her now?” as we sent edits and chapters back and forth. 

I was terrified to share the thing.  Being totally knew to the Hiddles fandom, no one knew me, but I was welcomed with open arms!  I quickly became a regular on the Naughty Stair, and got pulled into the tease of sending photos back and forth.  (which for me is the best part of fandom!)  I’ve made some amazing friendships and got to know wonderful new people.  Thank you.

The story was an instant success, and I know it had nothing to do with our men.  Thalia Bareo is amazing.  She’s this real, kick ass woman.  Her size does not define her, and she lets nothing stand in her way.  No matter the outcome of the story, she comes out a winner in the end.  Strong, confident, and ready to walk forward…

I am blessed and honored to have worked so long, side by side, with Devika Fernando. 
What an amazing, incredible woman!

  I think one reason I hesitated last fall was I felt like “just” a fan fic writer; ‘why would a published author want to write with me?’ 
But her constant encouragement, comments of ‘*dead*,’ and her praise when I wrote Tom for the first time made it so worthwhile!  Working with Devika made my hobby of writing seem real.  In a few short months, we’ve written a true novel, and I got to tell a story I couldn’t have told on my own…   Our friendship has grown and I have learned so much from her.  She’s not just a friend, or a writing partner, she’s a sister, and I love her with all my heart.

To all the readers who commented on the tale, sent us your thoughts, and even created your own little stories, THANK YOU.  Bless the ones who waited patiently every Sunday and Wednesday for the story to post, and thank you from the amazing, LENGTHY, reviews.

Educating Thalia.  What an amazing ride this has been!  Thank you for following us on this journey, and know this experience will not be forgotten.

Love,

Eighteen Months Later…

Watching the man across from her, her eyes crinkle at the memories they created together.  Late nights on campus, his office, visits to sites in Italy and Greece.  Her hand reaches for his, rested on the table.  “Thank you.  Thank you for loving me; for teaching me to be free and open. I know…”  she sighs and pulls her hand back.  “I know I didn’t handle things well;  I know we’ve talked about it before; but I’m sorry.  I really am.”

His fingers drum against his thigh, his legs spread in his comfortable position, a look of amusement on his face.  Dropping his gaze, he looks back at her through veiled lashes, his blue eyes just as sharp, taking in her movements, memorizing them till next time.

so I talk about “my friend, the author, @devikafernando“ so much, that my daughter downloaded three of her books today!  I told her to start with Playing With Fire!

Been a while since I had enough time to let my muse speak to me… but this poem demanded to be written.

(Disclaimer: The bigger picture is not Tom but reminded me of him. This is non-commercial fan art, no copyright infringement intended.)

Possession

He moves

In a way that proves

That you’re his

His to kiss and his to lick

His to taunt and his to tease

Until you’re panting and slick

Willing to beg on your knees

He touches you

In a way that’s always new

To keep you on your toes

So you’re never sure how far he goes

Never bored but always safe and secure

Because he knows what you can endure

Until you come apart, again and again

He knows

Every bruise that shows

Because only he has the right to mark

Only he gets to taste you and feel you

Nobody else lights that secret spark

That makes you forget your own name

Nobody else has the right to stake a claim

He’ll stalk

Talk the talk and walk the walk

Reduce you to a whimpering mess

Say all the right words, whisper silkily

Sneak a stroking hand beneath your dress

He’ll get you wet with the barest touch

Prolong your pleasure until it’s almost too much

He owns you

You know it’s true

Every gasp and moan is for him

When you buck and you strain

When you have an erotic dream

It’s all his to hurt and then his to soothe

You welcome him soft, slick and smooth

He’s your sir

The one who makes you purr

Who makes you clench and shout

Who holds your heart in his strong hands

And turns your lips into a swollen pout

He caresses and he drives so deep

That you still feel him in your sleep

He moves

In a way that proves

That you belong in his arms

On your back beneath him

On your knees before him

You’re his to bite and to devour

And you feel loved in his power

From the table on the veranda, Tom looks through the house and watches Thalia at the front door of the little cottage, speaking broken French to the delivery boy.  He smiles at the way she shifts her weight,  her hands pushing her hair back from her face.  He’s memorizing every moment, burning the images into his brain, knowing he’ll need them for the cold, lonely nights to come.

Pivoting on her heels as she closes the entry, she sees him through the doorway and her eyes light up.  Resting the bag of food in one hand, she asks, “More tea?”

“No, darling, I’m fine.  Come out here; it’s beautiful.”  The sweep of his arm indicates the view over the valley below, but his eyes remain on her full figure.  Just a few weeks apart, and she’s changed, even more womanly than before, but something is different.  He hasn’t been able to put his finger on it…  “Stop where you are,” he commands.  She quirks her eyebrow and freezes mid step, one foot balanced in front of the other.  “Set the bag down, darling; I’m not hungry yet anyway.  Take off your robe.”
