“Laura, I watched you today. I saw the comfort and ease with which you handled this crowd. You’re obviously at home in groups, able to chat on many different levels with different people. You’re a professional woman, quite in control of her emotions. But then you look at Adam. And there’s something in your eyes...”
She leaned over and dropped the lightest of kisses on Laura’s cheek. “Something that makes me believe I’ll be calling you ‘sister’ before long. Open your heart, Laura. Let that hidden part of Adam come inside you and discover what pleasure can really be between two people.”

For those who like a bit more corseted history mixed with your steam heat, you might find SWORD PLAY to your liking. It’s full of medieval high jinx of a most adult nature, and also seasoned with a dash of humor. Two tales of maidens, knights and wicked villains, all of whom seem to have one thing on their minds…
SWORD PLAY – Lord Raven and the Lady Swann
Constance felt the cool night air like a lover’s kiss on her damp body. The strands of her wet hair touched her back and her buttocks softly, leaving little trails of moisture wherever they chose.
The trickles down her spine made her shiver, and heightened the pleasure she was feeling as she rubbed the rough cloth over her skin.
She took a deep breath and let her hands linger over her nipples, relishing the spear of delight that her touch brought. It was the work of a moment to slip one hand to her mound and find that exquisitely sensitive spot which burned and ached now, readying her for a sensual invasion by…by…
By no one.
There was no one to take his cock and ease her need. There hadn’t been for three years now, since her husband had died on the battlefields in some senseless fight for a useless piece of land.
Oh, she’d had offers, and plenty of them. But being a landless widow, those offers had seldom come hand-in-hand with a marriage proposal, and those that did were unacceptable. She refused to be a brood mare for some lusty Lord who had gone through three wives already, and wanted a ready-made caretaker for his family. Nor did she relish the thought of being bedsport for some uncouth and unwashed man who simply needed a warm body to fuck at his whim.
Her next marriage, if there was one, would be by her choice. Her choice alone.
Her fingers plunged deep within her swollen folds, stimulating her juices which began to run freely, mixing with the rivulets of water that trailed down over her thighs.
A moan erupted from her throat, startling a frog, which leapt into the lake with a small splash.
Her late husband had not taught her much of the pleasures of the flesh, and had unthinkingly gone and gotten himself killed, leaving her alone, childless, and with a limited knowledge of what her body could achieve in the way of sensual delight. She missed him in some ways, still. His presence had been some sort of security, even if his bedding had left much to be desired.
She didn’t know if she’d loved him, in fact she didn’t know if such a thing actually existed. So for the time being, stolen moments like this kept her desires abated and her life relatively content.
But…it would have been nice, she mused, feeling every part of her body rising to the touch of her own hand. It would have been nice to have someone else feel her quicken beneath him.
To have a hard cock rubbing against the place she now caressed. To have a rough chest abrading her nipples and pressing her breasts between them. To lie on the grass beneath the moon and…
Suddenly the moon went out.
Constance opened her eyes in surprise and found a large shadowy figure in front of her blocking the gentle moonlight.
With a gasp of fear, she dropped her towel and made to turn and flee, but it was too late.
Strong arms captured her and pulled her up against the solid rough chest that she had just wished for.
“Permit me to assist, lady,” said a deep voice.
Before she could utter the thousand things that trembled on a scream, hard lips came down on hers and she was swept into a kiss that turned her world upside down.

About the Author
British born and bred, Sahara Kelly has enjoyed writing and reading Regency romances for many decades, beginning in her childhood with books by Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland.
She never quite managed to attain a level of comfort with the American way of spelling, however, and creating a Regency novel offers challenges in that regard. So you’ll see words that British readers will recognize, but American readers might perhaps find unusual. It’s a choice… should one write an English romance using English spelling? Sahara has come around to that belief. She can now enjoy the extra “u” which has always seemed so colourful…
After more than two decades of writing, Sahara is now enjoying the greater freedom offered to authors by the rapidly expanding self-publishing scene, and looking forward to many more such experiences.
Being freed of controlling restraints has opened doors—for Sahara and many other writers. There are now no impediments; no obstructions barring the path from writer to reader. Which is, in many ways, exactly as originally intended when that first storyteller sat on a rock outside her cave, tugged her bearskin around her shoulders and smiled at her kids across the open fire with the words “Once upon a time...” (or however it sounded several million years ago.)

This is where Sahara shares none of the intimate details of her life, but will present you with a list of books she'd like you to buy so that she can go do research on a beach in Aruba and be pampered with massages accompanied by drinks with umbrellas in them. She’ll send you a postcard. Thank you.
When not dreaming of lazing on tropical beaches, Sahara has a relatively active social presence on the Internet. Here’s a few places you can find her now and again…
