Books-n-Kisses is pleased to let Kenya Carlton take over the blog today.
Helpless and Hopeless is my first dip in the short story pond. I like to take my time and poke around in my characters head for awhile but that would defeat the purpose of mini erotic stories for readers short on time. With the challenge of constructing a short story from my usual 300 pages to a tight and healthy 100 I came up with two of my cutest characters Brooke Langley and Sam Foley.
The adult versions of the two high school misfits that grew up are the type of friends that everyone thinks should bone if they are not all ready. A couple of cute kittens that jump, play, and snuggle. Familiar as an old marry couple but unwilling to throw in the towel and admit that they were made for each other.
I had fun with these two friends that go way back and I don’t think I could have pulled off my first short with any other couple but them.
Sam the quintessential shy jock is the guy girls really want in high school instead of the obnoxious block head that they ultimately end up with. Most girls aren’t mature enough to know that. Brooke Langley on the other hand saw Sam’s potential but unfortunately not her own. Big boobs with a lot of ambition and just as much heart Brooke allowed the moniker of the poor kid follow her around and dog her through out her entire high school experience.
Both of these characters succeed as adults on different life paths but always seem to find themselves back in each other’s arms within a 16 year time period.
In this short the question will they or won’t they become more than friends with benefits isn’t answered but stick with these two because I plan to revisit this characters once more in Helplessly Hopeless at a later date.

BLACK HONEY by Samara King
Skeletons could wake the departed and make the living – dead targets!
Who could she run to?
When Officer Elisha “Elle” Taylor finds out crime lord Monty “Black” Kearns was her father, there is only one man she can turn to in the midst of a deadly plot for revenge. The very man she’d sworn never to touch again. Durant Kane.
Leaning on her father’s enforcer and her ex-lover seemed suicidal when the hit on her father was said to be ordered by his own people. Yet, the impulsive and heady sexual chemistry between them was undeniable.
One touch was all it took for the lines between good and bad to blur. One kiss was all she needed for him to steal her breath away…
TABLES TURNED by Ayanna Pierce
By day, Samantha Long uses her hands and pressure points to help her clients relax as a massage therapist. By night, Sam is Mistress Siren and uses her whips and leathers to make her clients submit as a dominatrix at Destiny Parker’s ultra-hot spot, Awaken. No matter the time of day, her mind is constantly focused on Drew Winger, a man she wants but can’t seem to conjure up her sexy nighttime persona Siren to express her feelings.
When Destiny “gets real” with her and allows Sam to think of the alternative of not expressing her feelings to Drew, Sam unleashes Mistress Siren in the hopes to making Drew only hers. She soon realizes, however, that sometimes, in order to get what you truly want you need to be willing to relinquish control and let go.
