Chapter Seventeen-Jade

                                    

                                          
Hello, Lovelies, 
                          
I know it's been a few days but I did take people's advice and fully healed.  Thank you to everyone who was concerned about me.  Thank you for understanding and thank you for continuing to read this book.  Many of you read my other books.  So, thank you for that also.  I am okay now.  I kept getting better and then, getting sick again.  I don't like letting you down so I did keep up with my normal release routine but now that I'm back to being myself, I will be focusing on getting this book written so this week expect multiple updates.
                          
News: I have started a blog.  It will have advice, news about my books and any questions that I'm asked will probably end up answered there.  If you want to check that out the address is www.amandakdudleypenn.blogspot.com.  It is still in its infancy so please be patient.   This is where I hate to be awful but I have had a problem the last week...People are requesting that I do read for reads.  I don't do that.  I seriously do not feel right about that.  However, if you request that I read your book, most of the time I will put it on my reading list and when I have time, I'll read it.  I do not expect reads or anything because honestly, just like your books may not end up being for me, my books may not be for you.  I certainly understand that.  I'm not trying to be mean but I want my reads to be organic and I truly feel that a read done for a return read hurts me and the other author in the long run because you actually do learn more about writing by having your reads organic.  I obviously do believe in supporting authors.  I will recommend the books I like.  So please try to understand.  I'm not trying to be mean.  I'm trying to be fair.

Macon's eyes met mine, moving over every inch of my face as he cupped my cheeks, his kisses were slow and filled with affection as his thumbs moved over my skin with a gentleness that told me he believed me to be precious.    
                          
            I gasped as I met his eyes finding them darkened to a light brown and hooded with desire as his lips left mine.  His hands slid down my neck over my chest and ribs before gripping the end of my shirt leaving a trail of fire as his nose skimmed my jaw and he pressed a kiss to the sensitive spot beneath my ear.  
                          
            "Macon," I whispered, my voice breathless as his name becoming a plea.
                          
            "I know, baby," he said, softly, causing my heart to clench at the endearment, "I am just as desperate for you, but this is your first time and I won't rush this."
                          
            He moved down my body until his lips were level where he gripped my shirt.  My body trembled as he lifted it kissing each inch of skin he exposed before finally pulling the shirt from me, exposing my breasts to him.  My heart tripled in speed as I moved to cover myself but he gripped my hands, intertwining his fingers with mine as he pressed them to the bed.  His mouth closed around my nipple causing my stomach to twist in pleasure.  I arched my back pressing my breasts further into his mouth.  
                          
            His tongue encircled my nipple as his hand left mine to trail over my wrist and arm before settling on my exposed breast, rolling the peak between his fingers causing me to whisper his name.  
                          
            He rose to my lips, kissing me again as my hand traveled over his shirt before slipping beneath.  My fingertips skimmed his skin causing him to hiss out my name as he pulled me tighter against him.  My eyes widened as I felt his desire for me.  His nose brushed mine as his eyes, heated and hungry met my gaze.
