Snippet Sunday: Deep in the Woods

This weekend I’m deep in the woods! I’m enjoying a little retreat of solitude with my family thanks to Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals of Helen, Georgia, and I thought, wouldn’t it be appropriate to feature Deep in the Woods this week?

One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Sophie, her boyfriend Dave, and Dave’s best friend Ryan go out to the woods for camping…and other lustful pursuits. This scene was inspired by an online friend who pointed out how exciting sex was if you were chased and captured first. (Yes, I have weird friends. I love them all.) And of course, Dave and Ryan don’t let Sophie in on their chase-and-capture plans until the moment it’s about to happen…

Kinky camping. It’s the bomb.

     Sophie licked the last of the chocolate from her hands, watching the two men from across the campfire with suspicion. “What? Why are you staring at me like that?”

     “We’re not,” said Dave. “Did you enjoy the s’mores?”

     Sophie had actually enjoyed the camping experience more than she’d thought. She had thrown herself into the spirit of it, helping the guys clear the campsite, pitch a tent, and build a fire from scratch, even lighting it with a flint instead of matches. Of course Ryan would insist on that.

     The weather was perfect too, not too warm or too cold. It was unseasonably pleasant for early January and Sophie felt fine in her jeans and hoodie. The woods were quiet and peaceful as night fell.

     But those looks…

     “You have some chocolate right here, Soph,” said Dave, pointing to one side of his mouth. “Come here, I’ll lick it off.”

     Sophie stood up and walked to Dave with a smile. He took her in his arms and licked off the chocolate before proceeding to lick her entire face. Sophie squealed and pushed him away. “Stop, you crazy man!”

     “He’s putting his scent on you,” Ryan said with a grin.

     “You’re weird, Ryan, you know that?” Sophie laughed, but Ryan ignored her, suddenly busy typing away on his phone. Dave looked over at him.

     “Almost dark enough, do you think?”

     “Almost,” replied Ryan, not looking up.

     “Almost dark enough for what?”

     Dave looked at Sophie. “We’re going to play a little game tonight, baby. It’s called ‘Chase Sophie Through The Woods.’”

     “Really?” Sophie suppressed a little shiver as Ryan looked up to gauge her reaction. “And what are the rules of this game?”

     “The rules are, you get a ten-minute head start, and then we come find you. First one to catch you gets to fuck you then and there.”

     “In the woods?”

     “Right on the ground, in the woods. In the darkness.”

     Sophie looked up at the sky. It was a new moon. There was no light at all aside from the campfire. “But…how will I see? How will I find my way?”

     “It’s actually more fun for us if you flounder around like a lost lamb. Oh, and you’ll wear these so you don’t hear us coming when we do catch you.”

     He reached in his pocket and produced a pair of wax earplugs. Now Sophie’s shivering began in earnest. The idea of this “game” both terrified and excited her. What would it feel like to wander lost? Hunted? Knowing the outcome of being found? Hmmm…

There are both terrifying and sweet moments in Deep in the Woods. If you haven’t read it  yet–or its sequel, Fortune, featuring Ryan as the hero–you can click the book covers below to read blurbs and find buy links.

    1. HAHA. Maybe he thought she would exercise all of it off when she was running through the woods. Sometimes I think I need a Ryan in my life so I can get back down to my optimum weight. LOL!!

      1. Hum…Among all the nice things I thought doing with Ryan, sliming down never came to my mind. I guess I don’t believe all the soy milk and kinky intense sex in the world can make my latin ass small haha

      2. Soy milk is actually nasty! I think life with Ryan would be difficult. 😉

        And you are perfect as you are, beautiful!!!
