Rachel Collins is praying. And not for world peace. Thirty six years old and single, her prayer is self-centered. "Kill me now, Lord," she pleads during her latest attempt to meet Mr. Right via the internet.
She’s not hoping for a billionaire or even a millionaire, just a guy who can strike a spark to her tinder! Is she asking too much? She's a great gal! Just ask her parents! She might be a bit naive about some things, but capable enough- she's a correspondent for a major magazine, after all. So there!
On assignment she meets Michael, 42 years old, also a writer. The attraction is immediate and intense. Rachel, who sees vanilla as only a baking ingredient, enchants him. Michael can whip up some pretty hot delights himself, outside of the kitchen. He introduces a curious Rachel to powerful experiences of sensuality. Her Ladylike sense of propriety engages in a running battle with her now sparked Tinderbox desires.
Michael is an excellent cook and knows how to turn up the heat. Sampling the flavors offered, Rachel experiences humorous hiccups. On a date, Michael ramps up the risqué, resulting in a memorable skirt swirling salsa dance. Rachel's "What the hell, I ain't getting any younger" attitude spurs Michael to take her to the exclusive, adults only club Pandora's. Here, Rachel witnesses even more variations of earthly delights, and begins a lifelong friendship with another guest.
Michael is a realist, convinced that within 90 days, his affair with Rachel will be but another painful memory of loss. He is neither willing nor able to yell 'Geronimo' and fall for her. He can't, and that's that.
Maybe he should just get a damn dog.
This modern, urban, grown up love story is a recipe –three cups romance and one cup of slapdash humor. Blend in spices of eroticism, and beat until smooth.
He’s taking
me home! Back to his castle to ravish and claim me. Ohmygod.
She gazed at
him with bare longing in her eyes. Naked longing. She had never experienced
desire like this. Was it because he was controlling the moment? Normally she
directed where, when and if a date ended sexually. Now here she was, lusting for
his touch. LUST! Yes, that’s what I want? God yes!
He released his
hands from her hair, to hold her face, while he softly kissed her. After a few
moments he pulled her body close and they turned to go back to the main street.
Still holding his arm around her waist, he flagged an approaching cab. Rachel
stepped into the cab and he settled next to her.
"Where do you
live Rachel? I’ll have the cab drop you there first."
WHAT! I’m
not going back to your castle and you’re not coming into mine? Rachel was astounded. How could I
have misread that one?
"218 De Grassi"
she said.
"Do you have a
business card Rachel? I’d like to call you tomorrow. Maybe we can get together
for dinner again, if you’re free?" He asked holding her hand, stroking it with
his thumb.
Ladylike
squirmed out from under Tinderbox and shook herself slightly – never know
what germs THAT one has. Ladylike was at the wheel now.
She fished in
her purse and located a business card. "Sure. That sounds good. Here you go.
Where’s mine? I mean yours I…" Great. Now she's flustered.
Michael reached
into the inside pocket of his jacket for a business card. "This is what you’d
like, right?" He said with a grin.
Yes, and I
can think of a few other things. Tinderbox sighed wistfully.
"Thanks."
Rachel replied.
The cab pulled
up in front of Rachel’s building and she got out after Michael. He escorted her
to her door and kissed her softly. "I had a great time Rachel. I’ll talk to you
tomorrow."
She smiled as
she opened her door, turning slightly to watch him get back into the
taxi.
Well…that
was a night! Thank you gods of dating. A little weak in the knees, she
climbed the stairs to her apartment.
And of Course:

What do I see....I see my BFF with a tall well built man tied to her bad...face down and she is snapping her whip, but not on him just yet. She turns and see's me and smiles and invites me to help her 'tame' him as she knows I like to give a good spanking to men who deserve it.

Gah!!!!
I wouldn't know because I wouldn't enter. I knock on my parents' door or ring their bell before entering.
Well I don't think I would walk in on my BFF b/c we don't just walk in we knock but I could see her with her man handcuffed to the bed and whip in hand.
She'd be the dom so most likely standing over her man with a paddle while he's cuffed to the bed blindfolded!
sorry to say, I always knock so all I would see is him cleaning!

She is tied up on all fours, waiting for the Irish man behind her to make his move.

No one even gets close to any door in my house without the barking trio making the loudest noise possible which would just ruin the moment...lol

She would be gaged, blindfolded and on her knees waiting to be spanked.
This did happen to me . My friend and her boyfriend were making out and they covered-up ,as soon as they saw me in the doorway. Boy, was I embarrass. :D
Guy is handcuffed and blindfolded to the bed as she gives him a BJ. That's my girl! sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com

Now is it just me, or is it getting (((WARM))) in here!
Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this with my book. I want all you posters to know that this is my very first time guesting on a book lover's blog hop!
I was nervous as a cat when Nikki invited me- I'm not kidding. These things are so much fun! And thank you all for the kind welcome!
Thanks for participating!
Hugs to all

shes got her lover blindfolded and tied to the bed of course! thanks for the fun images that are now in my head ;)
lol... *she's* doing the spanking :)
Well... first off all my BFF's are guys. So... if it was my actual BFF, he would probably be... well heck, ookie. I cannot really picture anything. Hmmm....
Okay, so I have a few female friends, most of whom I totally cannot imagine doing BDSM buuuuuut... I can see one of my girls being all decked out in a little outfit and administering pinches, slaps and some exhortations while brandishing a lovely flail and telling her partner what was going to come next...
My BFF leaves far away from me in a apartment with her mother. No open doors ever. I highly doubt she will ever try a BDSM, she can't ever read a novel with too graphic sex scenes.

P.S. If my any chance I win, I'll coming to the USA in April.
She´s spanking her hubby =) *rawr* while he´s painted in chocolate.
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Saturday!

Hmm... First I have learned my lesson from investigating noises...
I walk up the steps and notice the door is ajar with a dog standing gaurd beside it. I see that her husband has her suspend from the ceiling tied in the make shift swing appartus and giving her a work-up with the paddle.
I quietly turn around to leave and return to the kitchen to give a moment of privacy. I locate a pad of paper write a note for my friend to call me later.
She is tied, blindfolded, to the bedpost with her husband behind her spanking her with a paddle.

debi01760@hotmail.com
My BFF would be screaming with a look of horror on her face...she thought ben wa balls was a brand of underwear!! How we ever became best friends is beyond me, when I start talking about BDSM she just shakes her head. :D
Hi!
Seems like a lot of ladies here know that the term vanilla refers to more than a baking ingredient, as opposed to Rachel Collins. It's nice to see you gals have a great imagination - this is imagination....right? never
mind.
My bff would be laid on the bed while having candle wax dripped on him and being whipped.
My BFF would be blind folded, handcuffed, and writhing with passion.
Let's see, she'd have a beautifully built man in a kilt cuffed to her bed while she held a very long feather in her hands . And he's laying there smiling at me while she holds out the feather to me, enticing me forward. lol
Awesome. :)

Well....if she is like me (since she is my BFF she most likely is) she would have her sexy man tied up and is dripping red candle wax onto his chest. He would be blindfolded and unable to see where the hot wax would land next!
She's tied up and her behind is very very red.
she is standing over her lover dressed in leather and a crop in her hand . he is blindfolded and tied to the bed naked and ready for what ever my bff has in mind
My BFF, nothing she is totally vanilla, lol!
Well my bestie is acts pretty shy so I think totally dom in the bedroom! Whips and handcuffs would totally be involved.
Pegging her boyfriend.

She's spanking her boyfriend while he's sucking another man's cock. Yes, she's having a threesome! And it rocks!
Hmm. She'd be bound, bent over a spanking bench. one man behind her spanking her and another in front of her with is fly open. :D
