Spotlight
with author Lucy Felthouse
Welcome
back to the catching up from serious illness frenzy! Weeeee! I have a
lot of posts but that translates to more enjoyment for each of you
all at once! I guess it could be called a WIN! And while I am
exhausted, I am going to be caught up very soon, so the effort is
worth it! Not too long ago I welcomed Ms. Lucy Felthouse to the blog
for a guest post. Well today she is back with yet another new
release! Power writers these last bunch of ladies are! I picture
women power walking, but sitting at a computer rapidly typing
instead. They type the end and immediately start the next story. I
know that is nothing like what happens, but with as quick as these
books are coming out you have to wonder … just what are they
putting in their coffee and … can I have some? LMAO! Anyway, the
faster they write, the more reading pleasure we receive so no
complaints here. Please allow me to introduce to the blog, once
again:

**TESTING
TOM**
**BLURB**
When
Katrina’s ex, Tom, turns up on her doorstep, he’s literally the
last person she was expecting to see. After dumping her and running
off with a vanilla chick, Tom broke the Domme’s heart and left her
seriously hurting. So when he returns, begging for another chance,
Katrina is understandably very confused and protective of her bruised
feelings. She finds it very difficult to believe that he’s turned
his back on a vanilla lifestyle for good and wants to be with her, a
professional dominatrix. Rather than letting her head or her heart
figure out what to do, whether to forgive him, she decides to put Tom
through a series of challenges that will prove his devotion to her—or
not. Testing Tom is not something she’d ever expected she’d have
to do, but to her, it’s the only way she can be sure whether he’s
back for good.

By

If
you are under the age of 18, it is necessary for you to exit this
site.
Katrina
was halfway through an episode of her favorite drama series when her
doorbell rang. She jumped, gasping as her heart lurched painfully,
then pressed ‘pause’ on the remote control. Wincing slightly as
she unfolded her legs from beneath her bottom—she’d been watching
the program back-to-back for a couple of hours and she was stiff—she
moved to the window and peered out through a gap in the curtains,
careful not to let the mystery visitor see her, should she need to
ignore them. Cold callers were common in her area, and drove her
crazy. If she wanted to buy something, she’d contact them, not the
other way around.
As
it happened, it wasn’t a salesperson. She ducked back from the
window, clenched her hands into fists.
“What
the fuck is he doing here?”
He
was literally the last person she’d expected to see standing at her
door. Prince William or George Clooney would have been less of a
shock.
For
there, outside her house, stood the man that had broken her heart
several months ago. Thomas Black. She hadn’t seen hide nor hair of
him since, and now, totally out of the blue, he’d turned up.
Katrina
contemplated ignoring him, going back to her show and pretending she
wasn’t in. But apparently that wasn’t an option.
“I
know you’re there, Katrina,” he yelled through the letterbox,
“your car is on the drive, and I can see the glow of the telly
through the curtains.”
Katrina
decided it was time to get thicker curtains. Not wanting to cause a
scene, which her nosey neighbors would no doubt adore, she moved to
the front door, unlocked it and flung it open.
“Get
in,” she said, quickly closing the door behind him, then turning to
face her unwanted visitor. “What the hell do you want?”
He
held his hands up in supplication, then spoke. “Look, I know I’m
probably the last person you expected to see—wanted to see—but I
have to talk to you. Please?”
He
adopted the puppy-dog look he’d long-since perfected. Katrina
sighed.
“You’ve
got five minutes. Sit down.”
They
moved over to the sitting area, and Katrina deliberately sat in the
chair, so Tom couldn’t sit next to her. Settling onto the end of
the sofa nearest to her, he clasped his hands together, presumably to
summon his courage, and began.
“Kat,
I’m here to say I’m sorry, all right? I was wrong, so wrong, to
finish with you the way I did and go off with Alicia.”
“She
dumped you, has she?” Katrina clenched her teeth, and felt the rage
beginning to build inside her. If Tom thought he could come running
back to her because his bimbo had ditched him, then he had another
think coming.
“No,”
he said firmly, and, she suspected, honestly. “I finished with her,
actually. When I realized that I wasn’t happy with her. She never
made me feel the way you do, Kat. Not once. And I know, I know it’s
my fault. I wanted something… different from what we had, or at
least I thought I did. I couldn’t help thinking at the time that
what we did was wrong, was weird. Abnormal, even. So when Alicia
started flirting with me at work, I started thinking perhaps I should
try for something normal. Like everybody else out there.”
He
fixed her with his soulful gaze, and continued. “But I couldn’t
have been more wrong. Yes, Alicia offered me normality, a vanilla
relationship, but I soon discovered it couldn’t satisfy me. Sure,
she could make me come in all the usual ways—”
“Ugh,
I don’t want to hear this, Tom. I don’t want to hear about your
sex life with someone else!”
“Sorry,
Kat. Please, just let me finish?”
When
she gave a curt nod, he carried on speaking.
“Alicia
could make me come in all the usual ways—I am just a man, after
all—but it wasn’t the same. Wasn’t as good. It wasn’t long
before I started to miss you, miss what we had together, both in and
out of the bedroom. I ignored it for as long as I could, forced
myself to make the effort with Alicia, but it just got to the stage
where I couldn’t do it anymore. Couldn’t ignore what I was, what
I enjoyed, what I needed. And that’s you, Kat. I need you, and
everything that goes with you.”
As
a Domme, Katrina had become an expert in hiding her feelings, whether
she was aroused, angry, happy, sad… it was all stuffed behind a
stern facial expression. Now, though, she almost faltered. When Tom
had left her, she’d remained cool and silent until the door had
slammed. Then she’d broken down. She’d been deeply in love with
him, and his decision had left her devastated. Months down the line,
her love for him hadn’t faded, not one bit, and the fact that he
was here, right now, apparently trying to get her back, was something
she’d never expected. She didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or
throw something at him.
She
didn’t do any of those things. She kept her face straight, her
thoughts whizzing through her head at a hundred miles per hour.
Eventually, after letting him squirm in his seat for a minute or so,
she replied. “So what exactly are you saying, Tom? What do you
want?” She knew the answer, but she wanted to make him suffer, the
way he had done to her after ditching her for something, someone,
that could never satisfy him.
So
I am thinking that "testing" Tom is a bit of an
understatement. He got some splaining to do! You know what I'm
saying? But something tells me Kat is going to dish it out just fine.
I would love to hear what you all think about the blurb and excerpt.
