Present Day

For two years, Jack Jones has watched and lusted after his neighbor, Carmen.  Between his job, which takes him out of town for months at a time, and his need to dominate though, he’s kept his interest hidden from her.  Home from a mission, he overhears Carmen talking on the phone about wanting to find a Dominant, and how, until she does, she’ll have to make do with her erotic novels, a vibrator, and images of Jack.  Now that he knows she’s interested in him, all bets are off.

Carmen is both a little afraid and very turned on when she opens her eyes to see Jack standing over her.  His offer to help her live out all of her submissive fantasies is a dream come true.  Yet, immediately after the most intense, and most satisfying experience of her life, Jack is called away on another mission.  Carmen would like for this relationship to work, but will the long-distance aspect doom their romance before it really begins?

A sexy short story, STEALING CARMEN brings together two people who have wanted each other for awhile, but for reasons of their own have stayed away.  Carmen feels that the fact that she’s a bit overweight means that there is no way a hot guy such as Jack would find her interesting.  Jack knows that his work is a deterrent to a relationship, both because he’s out of town for such long periods of time, and because his work is dangerous.  He’s never felt about another woman they way he feels about Carmen though, so when he finds out she’s interested, not only in him but in submission, he can no longer hold himself back.

The story focuses completely on Carmen and Jack, and is definitely intensely erotic.  STEALING CARMEN is a great book that should not be missed.
