The Department Store - Pre-Release!!

I love the cover of my new release, it brings back a lot of memories

for me. My mum used to work for a toy wholesalers and the building was just like one of those old department stores. There were several floors, reached only via an old fashioned elevator with gated doors. To an eight year old it was a spooky place, very dark and mysterious. To an author of erotic romance it's the perfect backdrop for scandalous affairs. I've really had fun with this series and I hope you enjoy following the sexy adventures of the staff and customers at Kelsey's store. Book one in The Department Store series features the toy department, somewhere I've had plenty of experience myself. It's the perfect place to have a little fun...

Blurb

Jen is the new girl in the toy store but it's not long before the boss' son Jamie teaches her how to play.

Recently bereaved, Jen White hopes her new job in the toy shop at Kelsey's Department Store is a fresh start. One ripped pair of stockings later, she catches the eye of the boss' son, Jamie. She's not looking to replace her partner but he soon makes her realise she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life celibate. And die a virgin.

Jamie Kelsey's a screw up. Well his father still thinks so, even after he's tried to make amends for losing the family's fortune. The store's in trouble but with his father still stuck in the dark ages and refusing his help, he's worried it's too late. With a little help from their newest employee, he starts to make his mark on the store. He's sworn off women to concentrate on his career but when Jen comes to him looking to further her sexual education, it's an offer he can't refuse.

Excerpt

“Where are you taking me?” Jen pulled on her coat over her uniform. She wasn’t sure where Jamie usually dined but she was certain she wasn’t dressed for the occasion.

“Okay, I lied. We’re not going out to lunch. I hope you’re not too hungry.” He grabbed her hand and whisked her out onto the streets of the city centre.

Jen’s stomach rumbled in defiance, but in this instance she’d rather sate her curiosity than her appetite. “I can wait, but what’s so important?”

“Something you said got me thinking. There’s only so much I can teach you. Some things, well, you’ll just have to discover for yourself. I’m taking you to Gresham Street.”

“Gresham Street? Where all the sex shops are?” Her voice dropped to an embarrassed whisper as they moved through the throng of shoppers and tourists towards the seedier end of town.

“Yeah. You’re under no obligation to wear a long mac and sunglasses, I just thought you might like to have a look around.”

The closer they got to the gaudy shop windows, the more she felt like a young innocent being led into a den of vice. She was so out of her depth.

The door chimed as they walked in, but the inside of the premises was more inviting than the closed shutters and neon lights outside suggested. She’d expected some dark, dingy backstreet dive crawling with furtive middle aged men. Instead, she found a normal shop whose customers were ordinary young couples and groups of girls having a giggle.

“See? You didn’t set off their newbie alarm after all.” Jamie grinned, and taking her by the hand, led her over to the mannequins modelling their range of sexy lingerie.

“I wouldn’t mind splashing out on some new underwear.” The pretty, flowery sets she wore no longer reflected her mood. She wanted something bold, something daring to show off to her lover.

“I wouldn’t mind splashing out on these.” Jamie held up a pair of crotchless black panties.

“They’re not very practical.” Jen ignored the innuendo to search through the rails of lace and silk.

“Oh, I don’t know. I think I would find them very handy.” He twanged the black string underwear but she didn’t bite.

“What about these? Which one do you prefer?” She picked out a red lace plunge bra and a padded leopard print one, holding each one to her chest in turn.

“I like them both.” Jamie snatched them off her and stuffed them into her basket along with the matching thongs. She was on the right track at least.

They moved on past the rainbow of coloured dildos and strap-ons. One penis at a time was plenty for her. She paused at the bondage and fetish section and cocked her head at some of the oddly shaped black rubber, wondering which orifice they were intended for.

“I think that’s a bit far out for even me.” Jamie zipped the mouth closed on a gimp mask and walked away.

“What about embracing your inner Dom?” Jen flicked the end of a leather flogger at his backside.

“I might be an arsehole but I like my bed partners to know their own mind. Besides, something tells me you wouldn’t make the perfect submissive either.” He grabbed the leather strands and yanked her towards him for a kiss.

“But that means you get to spank me for misbehaving,” she said with a twinkle in her eye.

“Okay, we’ll take it.” He tossed it in the basket. “Along with one of these.” And added a double sided paddle to the purchases.

She bypassed the nipple clamps, quite happy for Jamie to do her tweaking for her, and hovered by the display of tubes and lubes.

“Mint or strawberry?” They both promised extra pleasure.

Jamie arched an eyebrow at her.

“I know, I know. Both. This is adding up to one expensive lunch break, Mr Kelsey.” Fun didn’t come cheap. Well, the experimental kind at least.

“If I can’t spend my cash on sex toys and lube what can I spend it on?” He didn’t even try to hide the absurdity of the situation and Jen loved him for it. Not once had he made her feel stupid or embarrassed about her lack of experience. Rather, he seemed determined to make the situation as enjoyable as possible for both of them.

“That sounds like fun.” Amongst the chocolate body paints and edible knickers, a red packet caught her eye. ‘Sexy body candy–an explosive new way to explore your lover’s body.’

Jamie read the packet over her shoulder. “Well, I’m all in favour of anything that involves you licking it off my naked body.”

“But then again, I really should watch my figure…”

“I’m watching it enough for you. Now get your sexy ass over to the cash desk and we’ll pay for this lot before I test that paddle on it.” Jamie had that look on his face that said they needed to go somewhere very private, very soon, before they gave a live sex show in the middle of the shop.

It gave her such a thrill that she was able to make him lose control like that and forget his serious businessman demeanour in favour of his libido. In many ways it comforted her to know she wasn’t the only one currently ruled by her hormones. From the outside looking in one would’ve been forgiven for thinking they were both embarking on their first sexual experience, such was their enthusiasm and lust for one another.

When she didn’t move quickly enough, Jamie scooped the contents of the basket onto the shop counter and whipped out his credit card. The simple act of buying her lingerie, never mind the toys, was an intimate gesture that went beyond anything she expected from someone who was supposed to be her rebound guy. How she would ever get out of this in one piece she didn’t know.

Jamie reached into his suit pocket again and this time pulled out his phone. He typed in his number on the credit card machine then gestured for Jen to take over the sale while he made a call.

“Hello, Kelly. This is Jamie Kelsey. Um, Jen won’t be in for the rest of the day. Get someone from children’s wear to help you out this afternoon. Something’s come up—”

Yes, Jen knew she was in serious trouble with the boss.
