Romance, love, and great sex. The perfect trifecta. The triad we all desire, whether we admit to
it or not.
There really is a secret to creating this all
powerful trinity. I believe, innately,
we all know what that secret is, though in the heat of the summer, we tend to
forget about that pearl of knowledge.
What is the secret?
It's effort. Yep. Pure and simple. Effort is the secret ingredient to creating
romance, finding love, and intimately (hallelujah!) great sex.
But wait. Are
you skeptical of my answer? Need some food for thought? Then chew on this. What is the most romantic day of the year? Valentine's Day. The day when everyone is aware there's a
level of expectation from one's love interest.
This level of expectation is what prods us all to perform. To go forth and put in additional effort into
our relationships. The effort may
materialize in something as small as a thoughtful gesture, say holding the door
or pulling out a chair for the one we love.
Maybe something a bit more symbolic like offering a special someone a
single, long-stemmed rose. Perhaps the
effort is more of a grander scale. Picture a candle-lit bedroom, champagne
chilling, rose petals covering a plush bed, and what's this? A mask, a length of satin sash, and a French
tickler?? Oh you naughty, naughty boy.
I think you get my point. In February, the month dedicated to love, romance,
and (shhh, don't tell anyone) sex, we generally put more effort into our
relationships, enriching them. But why
wait for one month in twelve to put the effort into your romance? Why not do it every day?
How do you think your loved one would feel if they
found an unexpected card professing love in his/her car? To have a cup of coffee waiting by the shower
while your loved one gets ready for the day?
To come home and find you naked under a trench coat and a bed prepared
for amore? If you think they would feel
the spark of romance, the electricity of love, and the desire for great sex,
then you're probably right.
Give it a try and let me know how this works out for
you. As a married woman with almost
twenty-three years of marriage under my belt, I can tell you I do this myself -
daily - with much success.
And if you're looking for a little of the
Valentine's Day spirit to inspire you, consider reading Unmasked
Secrets, my sexy (and I mean SEXY) story from the Iron Rods Strip
Club for Women series. Unmasked Secrets is a standalone book
in a series about a strip club for women in Austin, Texas that has crazy, fun characters,
a killer story and a good dose of sex.
Unmasked Secrets has BDSM elements,
so be warned.

Book Description:
Hannah Armstrong, the new
principal of Santana High School is a complete ball buster, so Mack Garner, her
drama teacher, thinks. Her cutbacks to his department’s budget will force him
to scrimp on his students—something he refuses to do. The stubborn woman won't
listen to reason so he's taking matters into his own hands. He devises a plan
to secretly replenish the money that is surefire, as long as he’s not found
out. By stripping under the stage name The Dom and using an ironclad disguise
at Iron Rods, Austin’s only strip club for women, he and his hard body will
have his program flush again and soon.
But Hannah Armstrong has secrets
of her own. The rigid, by-the-rules school administrator harbors dark desires
to surrender to the titillation of BDSM. She needs a man—a real man—who can
melt her inhibitions and master her. Exploring the lifestyle is a dangerous
proposition for a small town principal though. Any whiff of scandal would
destroy her career. She's nearly given up on the dream until she meets a masked
Dom at Iron Rods. The gorgeous male stripper so far away in Austin seems like
the perfect solution. Is there a chance she can satisfy her furtive fantasies
without being discovered?

Here’s an excerpt from Unmasked Secrets.

“We’re in a private room, so the rules are a wee bit more relaxed than if ye were downstairs.” He lifted her chin, forcing her attention on him. “Here ye can do just about whatever ye feel comfortable with.”
“Really?”
“Oh, aye.”
Of course, what he was telling her wasn’t exactly true, but he’d be decent enough to stop her, and himself, from doing anything too illegal. The word he’d been given from many seasoned strippers was that just about anything went on in the private rooms, although some of the goings-on were very much on the shady side of the law. What happened or didn’t happen, they’d advised, was based on the comfort of the customer and the entertainer.
He felt pretty damned comfortable. Did she?
Only one way to tell.
She was here for a lap dance or more with the Dom. Time to get the party started.

Mack placed both
hands on her shoulders, then slowly squatted before her while letting his palms
drag down the outside of her breasts as he lowered himself before her chair.
Hannah let out a
moan.
A grin tempted
to show itself, but he held it back. She was getting into this.
So was he.
He continued on
a path down her waist, onto her thighs and stopped when he reached her
skirt-covered knees. Now crouched before her, he looked at her. Face-to-face.
Hers a study in heightened expectation.
When he pushed
his hands back up her leg, taking the hem of the skirt with him, a sigh escaped
her mouth and he nearly moaned himself. A dangerous amount of thigh now showed,
and what thighs they were. Firm but soft and went on for miles. His fingers
hovered so damn close to her hidden nest of curls, he could feel its welcoming
wet heat. His curiosity begged to take a quick peek beneath her skirt, but he
reminded himself he was a professional stripper. He was here for the customer,
and right now that customer’s gaze was locked to his.
He angled
himself between her bent legs, gently prying them apart to make himself room.
“So, tell me,
Hannah,” he started, the pads of his thumbs roaming over her warm skin, “what’s
yer pleasure tonight?”
“My pleasure?”
she asked dreamily.
“Would ye like
to take off yer top? Maybe yer skirt?”
Please say yes.
Once again, her
eyes widened and she swallowed a gulp of air. Her fingers flew to the open
collar of her shirt.
“No!” Her
high-pitched tone cut through the muffled music encapsulating the small room.
She shook her head and cleared her throat. “I mean,” she corrected quietly, “no
thank you. I’d…I’d like to keep my clothes on.”
Damn.
“Fair enough,”
he said, hoping he didn’t sound as disappointed as he felt. “This is yer party.
I want ye to enjoy yourself.”
Mack plucked the
hand she was using to hold her blouse and flattened it on his chest.
“Is this what ye
want?” He slid her palm down his abs, measuring her response. Her entire body
went limp, a small exhale leaving her lips. She offered him a timid smile.
He smiled back.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
He searched her
eyes while moving her warm fingers over his stomach until they found the silky
top of his thong.
“Lower?” Even he
heard the gravel grinding in his voice.
Hannah bit her
lip. The sight of her teeth gnawing the plump flesh of her mouth was far more
erotic than he’d ever imagined.
After a beat,
she shook her head.
“No. Not lower.
I’m not ready for that.” She paused, and gifted him with a sigh. “Yet.”
Yet?
So there was
still some gumption in her.
Excellent!
“Then let me do
a little dance for ye. Sound good?”
She nodded.
“Before I do, I
want ye to let yer hair down.”
The unsolicited
words flew from his mouth, his lips betraying his long-held wish. But even as
the last syllable slipped out, he was glad they had. The tight bun Hannah
perpetually wore had bothered him from the first moment he’d met her.
Her breath hitched.
“Are you
commanding me to take down my hair?”
Commanding?
Should he
command her?
The notion
certainly suited the situation. He was the Dom after all. Why the hell not?
“Aye, lass,” he
said, releasing his hold on her. “Now do as ye have been bidden.”
Goosebumps rose
on her arms. A sly smile spread across her face. Without any argument, she
reached for the offending bun and pulled the pins securing it in place. In one
whoosh, the long, blonde locks tumbled from the top of her head and spilled
over her shoulders, framing her face.
The stern
schoolmarm instantly vanished. In her place sat a sexy siren, and Mack couldn’t
deny her call.
“Does this
please you, Sir?” she asked.
Sir?
What the hell is
she—
Realization
dawned in that moment. His heart skipped and his head damn near exploded.
Holy shit and
fuck me twice.
My
take-no-prisoner boss is into BDSM.
The titillating
discovery shook him so badly, he struggled to keep from falling back on his
ass.
Mack looked
around the room, checking to see if anything had changed. It must have.
Somehow, someway, he’d stepped into the Twilight Zone. His boss had become the
subordinate, and he… the Master.
“Sir?” She
prompted. “Did that please you?”
He stopped
himself from blurting out, “Are you fucking kidding me? I’m the happiest man in
the whole damn state of Texas,” and then jumping up and kicking his heels
together.
Never in his
wildest dreams could he have imagined Hanna Armstrong, his prickly, uptight
principal, having a kinky side. Who the hell could have predicted something so
absolutely off the radar? And just when and how often did she let her freak
flag fly?
Mack willed his
body and mind to behave, waiting several heartbeats until he reined in all the
childish excitement flooding his system before he continued. He was the Dom.
Stuff like this was supposed to happen to him all the time. He had to be cool.
Stay in character.
“Aye, it does
please me, Hannah.” He cleared his throat. “Verra much.”
