Quotes:

“Me: OMFG, I have my very own Gideon Cross at the gym. Hot guy running on the treadmill next to me! :)”

“His tattoo was on the upper right side of his abs. While tracing my fingers over the script I read it to myself: Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

“Nothing else matters except you, Spencer. Nothing. You’re what I want, what I need. Where you are is where I need to be. I need you here in my life with me.”

Book Excerpt

Brandon drove me down to the police station for the formal interview that afternoon. The investigating officer told me that Christy was still pretty beaten up from the fall and subsequent surgery she had to endure from the stab wound. Apparently, she had punctured her liver and would be in the hospital for at least a few more days –– enough time for the police to get all their ducks in a row. I really didn’t want to rehash the incident, but I knew it had to be done. After an hour and a half of me recounting the events, Brandon and I made our way to Macy’s at Union Square to get my mind off everything.

Macy’s at Union Square covers an entire block. Although I wanted to go crazy and buy the whole store, I had to remember that for the next few months my tiny closet was going to need to hold both my and Brandon’s clothes.

“Okay, all I really need is another nice dress so I don’t keep wearing the same one over and over again,” I said to Brandon as we rode the escalator up to the Women’s department.

“Whatever you want, Babe.” 

“Are you sure you want to do this? Most guys seem to hate shopping.”

“Oh I do, but I want to be with you, so I don’t mind.”

“Alright, well I don’t want to hear any whining,” I said as I stuck out my tongue at him.

“And what if I do?” Brandon asked, smirking at me.

“Then… then… shit, I don’t know. Don’t give me that look, it drives me crazy and I can’t think straight.”

“Drives you crazy good or drives you crazy bad?”

“Good,” I said as I blushed and tried to swat Brandon’s arm, but he caught my wrist midair and pulled me to him for a quick kiss.

As we browsed around Macy’s, I decided that I should be looking specifically for a dress for my company holiday party, as it was the next big event that I needed to attend. 

I picked out a few dresses and told Brandon that I was going to try them on in the dressing room. The first dress I tried on was a metallic champagne A-line dress. Brandon said he liked it, but I wasn’t feeling it. Next, I tried on a sleeveless dress made with sequined Graphite Grey satin; Brandon liked it as well, but it just wasn’t calling my name.

Finally, I tried on the last dress. It was strapless and made of ivory lace in the pattern of roses with a few ruffles down the front starting at the waist. It was accented with a removable cream-colored belt. I think this is the one. I stepped out to show Brandon. As soon as his face lit up, I knew I had found the one. 

“You like?” I asked as I did a little twirl so he could see the back.

“Yes, I like—a lot!” Brandon stood up and walked over to me. 

“Yeah, I think this is it.”

“I need further convincing.”

“What?”

He grabbed my hand to lead me back into the dressing room and locked the door behind him.

“What are you doing?” I whispered.

Without answering, he spun me around and pushed me up against the fitting room mirror. My hands slammed into the mirror to brace myself as I felt Brandon’s hard erection against my ass. He moved my hair the side and kissed the side of my neck all the way down to the top of my shoulder, making the little hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention.

“Babe, we’re in a public dressing room,” I panted in a whisper.

“Shh,” he said as he continued to kiss my neck and shoulder. His hand reached around my side as he slowly slid the dress up my thigh inch by inch. 

“Babe…” I said in warning.

“Shh.”

His hand glided up my bare thigh and my breath caught when I felt his hand slowly slide into my panties. “Oh God,” I quietly groaned.

Brandon bit lightly on my right earlobe as he started teasing my clit with one of his fingers. I steadied myself with one arm on the mirror, resting my head on his chest as I reached up and grazed my other hand through his soft hair on the back of his neck. His finger slid through my slick wetness before sinking into me as I lifted my leg onto the bench, wanting more. I couldn’t help it ––Brandon brought out the exhibitionist in me. His touch was all I needed to forget everything around me. 

“I can’t keep my hands off of you when you wear a dress,” he whispered in my ear, causing my body to shiver as his breath touched my skin.

“Uh huh,” I mumbled. Not only could I barely talk because of the intense pleasure running through my body, but we were in a public dressing room in the middle of the day. I was both terrified and aroused by the thought that we could be caught at any second.

He continued creating circles around my aching clit with one finger as another of his fingers moved rhythmically inside my pussy over and over. His hard cock was still pressed into my ass. Lifting my head from his chest and moving forward a step, I slid my hand from the back of his neck. Then I reached down behind me and rubbed his erection through his jeans.

“Don’t start something you can’t finish,” he said, whispering in my ear again.

Ha, talk about calling the kettle black! I continued to stroke him as he brought my body closer to its release. I planned to finish him––I needed to finish him. He reached around and slipped his hand into the top of the dress, his fingers easily sliding beneath the silky material of my bra. He began to caress my right breast and roll the already hardened nipple between his fingers, sending my body into overdrive. I came around his finger, my belly clenching as the climax shot through me.

We stood there like that for a moment while I caught my breath, then Brandon slowly removed his hand from my panties. We heard the door next to us close as someone entered the dressing stall. I couldn’t believe what we had just done together in a public dressing room. It was exhilarating and slightly dangerous and I felt wonderfully alive, but we weren’t quite done. I turned around and began to undo his belt.

He caught my hands in his for a moment and raised an eyebrow at me as he nodded his head in the direction of the stall next to us. I grinned wickedly and held a finger to my lips, then made quick work of his belt and unbuttoned his jeans. Sliding the zipper down enough to reach inside, I grabbed his length, causing it to twitch in response. Brandon sat on the bench, his erection growing bigger as I ran my hand up and down around it, milking him.

I saw a drop of his pre-cum glisten, reflecting the fluorescent lights above. I bent down on my knees and lowered my head as I licked the tip, tasting his salty goodness. We heard the lady leave the stall next to us and I almost giggled in relief. He sucked in a sharp breath when my wet tongue swirled around the head. He grabbed the back of my ponytail and guided my head as I bobbed up and down, sucking him over and over. I took him deeper and deeper into my throat until his body tightened and then convulsed slightly as he spurted hot cum down the back of my throat. He grunted slightly with his teeth gritted as he came, his eyes closed as he fought against groaning in pleasure.

“Well… guess I’m buying this dress,” I said, laughing as I stood up.

Book Excerpt


After a few minutes, I realized that I was still alone in the shower. Brandon hadn’t returned from seeing who was at the door and that made me nervous. I quickly rinsed the soap from my body and started to turn off the water when the shower door opened and Brandon slipped in. His hard chiseled body stepped close to me as we both stood under the warm stream of water––something we did almost every night.

“Hey, what took you so long?” I asked, slipping my arms around his neck.

“Blake’s here.”

“Really?”

“Yep.” Brandon’s hands glided down my back to rest on my ass as he gave it a little tug to bring me closer to him.

“Did you know he was coming?”

“Nope, he said he needed to get away and used the plane ticket we gave him for Christmas.”

“Couldn’t he have asked? I mean, this is an important night,” I pouted as Brandon’s cock grew against my belly. I chuckled slightly. Here we were again, talking about his brother at the wrong time.

“Babe, you know how Blake is. He doesn’t always use his head,” he said, tilting his head down to place a soft kiss on my neck.

“I know,” I said, sighing. “Can he maybe get a hotel room for the night?” Of all the nights Blake could have come to visit us, it had to be tonight…the night when I wanted to wear nothing but my new ring and a smile.

“I guess, but we haven’t seen him in, what? Five months?”

“I know––you’re right. I just wanted to walk around naked for the night,” I said, biting my lower lip and giving him my most innocent smile, making his cock twitch in response.

“I’ll make it up to you another night––I promise,” Brandon groaned, bending down again as he pressed his lips to mine.

“But that other night won’t be the night you proposed and I said ‘yes’.”

“I know, Baby…” Brandon looked down at me, searching my eyes as if he was looking for some sort of answer or something. “What if we get a hotel room in the city, you call in sick tomorrow and we order room service, eat breakfast in bed and then spend the rest of the day with Blake? He can take care of Niner tonight. It will give him time to clear his head, too, since that was the reason he jumped on a plane and flew thousands of miles unannounced.”

“Well, he did come all this way. Maybe we should spend time with him?”

“No, he will understand. I’m sure he will be here longer than one night. We will hang out with him tomorrow. Plus I want to see you wearing nothing but your new ring and a smile for the rest of the night,” he said, winking at me, reading my mind.

Interview


Hi Kimberly,

Thank you so much for sitting down with Toot's for an interview. If you don't mind, I have some questions for you about your series, B&S and Halo as well as questions about your writing process for our budding authors as well as fans.

So first off, B&S Questions.......


In your own words, what is your B&S series about? 

This is always a hard question to answer. It’s hard because I don’t want to give anything away and then I give an answer and people are like “eh, that book doesn’t sound good.” So…in my own words, the B&S series is about two people that have a hard time at first approaching the other person until they are both in Vegas on a whim. They have a hot dance that leads to forever. Mix in stalkers, crazy ex-girlfriends, crazy boyfriends, co-workers that want to be more than friends, cougars that want your man, girls that have boy names, and a brother that’s a bad influence, then you have the B&S series.

How did you come up with the title of the series and can you tell us its significance? 

They’re all country songs, lol. Well Where I Need to Be came from the song “Right Where I Need to Be”, but yeah, they’re all country songs ;)

How many books are planned for the series? 

Six. I just started the novellas in Brandon’s POV. Finding Spencer is releasing on 4/29 and then there will be Wanting Spencer and Forever Spencer. I also plan to do Brandon’s brother’s story, which will be a spin off book or series.

What genre would you say B&S is and what sets your series apart for fans of the genre? 

Contemporary romance with a little bit of erotica. I think my series sets apart from other books in the genre because I try to write my books like they’re real life people. They talk like real people, act like real people and go through what some people go through.

Out of all the books in the series, what has been your favorite scene to write? 

That’s tough. I hold Brandon and Spencer so close to my heart because these were my first books to ever write. This may be lame, but I can’t give you an answer. It’s hard to just pick one.

What was the hardest scene to write? 

Sex scene numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., lol. It’s hard to write them and make them not seem repetitive.

What do you think is the most memorable line or quote from the series? 

I’m not sure if my readers would agree, but I think the first paragraph in the Epilogue for Anything Like Me, means a lot. Spencer goes through so much during the series and she finally realizes that things happen for a reason.

“You were sent to rescue me—a miracle God gave to me, giving me strength to go on. A reason to believe that everyone gets their happily ever after. My darkness turned to light and I was given this gift—a gift to love you. I will love you more than life itself.”

Not to show too much favoritism, let’s ask the same questions for your Halo series……..

In your own words, what is your Halo series about? 

Here we go again, lol. Well…Tattooed Dots is about a girl, Brooke, that raises her younger sister from the time she is thirteen because their mother likes men more and the guy, Easton, is a single father and a ladies man. Brooke and Easton’s best friends talk them into going on a singles cruise, but Brooke isn’t single…and Easton isn’t looking for anyone, but a hook-up. I won’t spoil it, but people have left reviews that the book wasn't predictable and has an original storyline.

How did you come up with the title of the series and can you tell us its significance? 

Well…let’s just say I have my own Tattooed Dots. I can’t tell you what it means or why it has significance without spoiling the book.

How many books are planned for the series? 

4, maybe 6…I haven’t decided.

What genre would you say Tattooed Dots is and what sets your series apart for fans of the genre?

Contemporary Romance. I can 100% tell you that no one has this story as I’ve written it from experience.

Out of all the books in the series, what has been your favorite scene to write? 

The first time they do it, lol. That sounds weird, but there is a build-up and when it finally happened, it even had me smiling ;)

What was the hardest scene to write? 

I can’t give specifics, but having to write what I went through was tough.

What do you think is the most memorable line or quote from the series? 

“From what you’ve told me these last few days and what I’ve seen, you’re the strongest woman I know. If you can raise a six-year-old when you’re only thirteen—which is scary as hell—you can’t let a little trip on strong cables hold you back. Now get out there Superwoman and fly.” - Easton

Writing.......

Do you recall how your interest in writing originated and what made you decide to pursue it as a career?
 

I wasn’t a big reader until I read Fifty Shades of Grey. I read it back-to-back and my husband was confused, lol. I got into reading a lot of books…a lot of me that is. A co-worker and I started reading books together so we could talk about them and then we joked about writing a book. One day, I just decided to do it. I told my husband, “I’m going to write a book.” He was like “Yeah…okay.” It wasn’t that he thought I couldn’t, it was just not me. Now, it’s me.

What inspires you to put the pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard? 

Deadlines, lol.

What are some of the elements in/of your writing process? 

I write better at night and with music.

Are you a Plotter or a Panster? 

I was a Panster in the beginning. Now I’m a Plotter, but my plots are usually ideas and I go from there.

Have you released anything under a different pen name, and if so, is there any difference between them? 

No.

What's next for you? 

Wanting Spencer should be released in June

Is there anything you’d like to add or say to your fans? 

Thank you. Thank you for always having encouraging messages, telling people about my books, and giving me a shot and reading my books.

Personal questions......

Now I know this is like asking you to choose between your own children, but out of all your amazing characters, who is your favorite and why?
 

Brandon from my B&S Series. I created him as basically my perfect guy, lol.

Are there any of your stories or characters that hold a special place in your heart? 

Tattooed Dots. Again, I can’t explain why. You just have to read it.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for taking time to answer some questions. Congratulations on the new book and I can't wait for everyone to read it!
