Text Excerpt from Mallory and Derek Attend Secret Parties, Book 1

Chapter 1

 

“You’re my powerful vixen,” Derek says as Mallory emerges nude from the bathroom, her flesh dewy and shiny.

She blushes with a giggle. She presses her arms together and her breasts mash as she shrugs. “Well, I feel incredible, anyway. Thank you for the bath bomb. The name fulfilled its promise. I feel like a goddess after that.”

“You are a goddess,” he says slyly. “Only you don’t know it.”

She shrugs. “I’m super nervous. Are you?”

“Yeah. I am, too,” he admits as he swings his legs off the edge of the bed. “But I’m so happy we’re doing this together.” He clasps his hands. “This is our dream, Mal, what we’ve talked about for so long.”

Mallory stifles a shiver, but the reaction prevails, and her skin erupts into goosebumps. “I think we should go, it’s just that I’m scared to death.”

“Me too,” he says, rising. “But if we’re together, nothing can stop us.” He embraces her, and she drops her head.

“It’s not just a party.”

“Nope.” He grips her chin and raises it up, so their eyes meet. “It’s not just a party.”

“What if we see someone we know?” That worrisome reality has been nagging her.

He laughs. “If they’re there, then they are the same as us and there will be no worries.” He clears his throat and cocks his head.

“True. Horny and curious?” She adores him, and how he’s suddenly confident is a surprise, but she likes it.

“Yes,” he cradles her closer and rocks them together. “You’re my everything.”

“And you’re mine,” she parrots back softly.

“I’m more nervous than you are,” he states with a serious look.

She scoffs. “What? Oh, I don’t think so.”

“It’s true.”

She caresses his cheek. “I guess that makes sense.” Her mind spins on the possibilities ahead of them. Some seem scarier than others, but her biggest fear is that she won’t like the party. That would crash all her dreams and hopes. “You’re ready.“

He presses his lips together. “I think I am. Yeah.” He releases a big sigh. “Screw all the negativity. We don’t have to buy into their BS.”

“Nope. And it’s total BS.” She pauses as she holds his gaze. “Oh, I’m so excited. It’s going to be epic. I’m so ready to just try it out, you know? It’s like a fantasy coming true.” Anticipation grips her, and butterflies spring through her. “We’re doing this. We’re really doing this. We’re going to live out our fantasy in real life.” She bites her lower lip. “No one gets to do this.”

“All the party-goers do,” he says with a tilt of his head and a heckle after.

“True. But all our friends, everyone we know, no one matches up.” She leans back as he supports her. She sucks on her lower lip. “We’re the lucky ones.”

“We are the lucky ones. And I’m with you, I have high hopes, despite being terrified.”

“Our life, our rules.”

Derek nods. “Our life, our rules.”

“It’s normal, right? To be terrified of something like this?” Her nerves keep switching her mood from confident to worried. She makes a fist before she says, “We do this. And we do it kick butt, full on.”

“Kick butt,” he says with a nod. “I’d say we should do a quickie, looking at you looking all luscious and sexy, but we should save it, I’m thinking.”

“Agreed. I want to go into this as ripe and wanton as possible. We can’t break our setup. We’ve gone this long without it.”

“Yes. Exactly.” He steps away from her. “Then I need to stop being so close to you.” He heads over to the closet. “And I need to stop looking at you.” He scoffs. “I can’t control myself. You’re way too sexy.”

“I love your libido,” she coos.

“I love yours more,” he copies, then disappears into the closet. “I have no clue what to wear to something like this,” he shouts.

“Wear what you’re comfortable in. Your orange and gray flannel?”

“Oh, come on. I can’t wear that to this kind of party.”

“And why not?” She enters the closet. “There was no dress code listed.”

He quickly flicks through his shirts, and the hangers scrape across the bar.

“You’re not helping me abstain from fondling you by coming near me,” he protests. “You weren’t supposed to follow me,” he jokes.

“I have to get dressed too, silly. Just pretend I’m not here.” She gives him a flirty glance.

“Fat chance of that.” He points to his groin. “Plus, that bath bomb made you smell like heaven.”

She watches him peruse his shirts, sliding them across slowly, one by one.

“How about I pick for you?” She prances in front of him and bumps him backward with her bum.

“Well, that’s definitely not helping,” he says sarcastically.

She cackles and then chooses the flannel shirt she suggested. “You look hot in this one, and it’s super comfy. Ruggedly manly. It’s perfect.”

“It’s so casual, though. Too casual?”

She shakes her head. “No, it’s the one. You’ll feel good in it, and that’s exactly what you need.” She tips her head to the side. “Think comfort clothes. All the things to help you relax.”

He pulls the flannel off the hanger and slides his arm in. “I guess you do know me.”

“I do.” She moves to her side of the closet and chooses a dress she feel sexy in. She slips it over her head, her confidence returning to normal with the dress in place. “I’m so ready. And you’re going to be amazing. I just know it.”

“You’re better equipped for this,” he sighs as he pulls his jeans on. “If I disappear, know that I’m hiding in the bathroom.” He releases a big scoff. “Ugh. Why is this so hard? We both want this.”

“It’s new, but soon it won’t be,” she says, then blows him a kiss. “Let’s go. We’re going to be late. We’d better hurry.” Of course, this is harder for him; he has all that awful backstory of being shamed constantly running as a script in his head. She strokes his arm.

He stares at her with a lewd, wanton gaze. “You’re so hot. You’re going to kill it, and I look like a frumpy dude who just crawled off his couch.”

“You look burly and masculine, and I love you in that shirt.” She hooks her arm in his and tugs him out of the closet. “Let’s get ourselves there before we change our minds.”

The drive drags, and Mallory reaches for her phone to try and dissipate some of her nervous energy. She scrolls through social media and stops on an image of a sexy woman she recently started following, who is a content creator and is now launching into adult films. The woman is a phenomenon. She’s impressive and empowered. Mallory’s legit got a woman’s crush on her. She’s harnessed her power and is charging headlong into her vision of sexuality and femininity, and she’s owning it. The woman is an absolute legend. Mallory’s admiration for her grows as she peruses her profile page.

“Wow. Incredible,” she says, shaking her head. “You know that woman I was talking about last night, now she’s doing films.” She glances at Derek to see if he remembers the conversation.

“Yeah, I remember. The one with big titties and long straight hair in two tones of blond?”

“Yeah, that one. In the interview I watched, she said she’s making more per day than she used to make in a whole week in her old job. That’s truly an accomplishment.”

“It is, and what a nice way to make money.” He scoffs. “I’d live that way.”

“I know, right? Make a living off her sexiness. And dang, she’s killing it.” Mallory scrolls the woman’s content way down the feed on her page. Her interest in how she’s doing it grows, fueled by both curiosity and a hint of jealousy. “Using her own self to make this much money, what a power move. What a woman!” She’s proud of her and the keepers of the patriarchy must be groaning in pain. She snorts. “And more power to her. I should subscribe just to support her cause.” She taps subscribe.

“Indeed. Good idea.” He stops at a stoplight. “I think it’s the next turn. Will you check?” He pulls the car over to the side of the road once they pass through the green light.

“Yeah,” she says, leaving the app to check the map on her phone. “Yup, it’s the next one.” Her nerves bloom into a bigger ball of frenzy, not unlike what she’d imagine a panic attack feels like. “I think I might explode, I’m so excited and so nervous. I want to jump out of my seat one second and cower the next.”

“Yeah, me too. Part of me wants to turn the car around and just go out to eat.” He looks sheepish. He laughs.

She swats his arm. “No, we can’t do that. Not after all we’ve gone through to join.” She lets her phone fall into silent mode. “Plus, think of this, after today we won’t have to go through the first time again. We won’t be the newbies anymore. Plus, we want this.” She pauses and stares intently at him. Worry fills her. The last thing she wants to do is make her lover uncomfortable. Consent is everything. “Don’t we? I mean, we’ve talked to ad nauseam. But Derek. Honestly, if you want to pull the plug, we can. Just say the word, and we can go home. We can think about it some more. Talk some more.” She reaches over and places her hand on his. “Are you having second thoughts? I’m okay to not go in.”

He pauses, staring at his hand on the steering wheel. “No. I’m in. And that’s a good point. After today, we won’t be the newbies. That helps.” He looks more nervous than she feels, but she expects that, coming from the painful life he’s endured. “Let’s do this, and never have to do it green again. If we don’t like it, we just never go back. Right?”

She squeezes his hand and gives him a reassuring look. “Right. Yes, now let’s pop this party’s cherry and get it on.” She throws her head backward and gives him flirty eyes. “Whew! I’m ready to scream my head off from the pleasure overload.”

“Same,” he says with an equally excited look. “Let’s go!”

They drive down the street. Mallory’s heart pounds as she gazes at the houses. Her mind imagines the party house, beautiful, majestic, and luxurious. Inside its walls will be a whole new world of experimentation for them, a mini-universe of the potential of their needs being met, and new connections to enjoy, not to mention so many climaxes they might never want to leave. Though others might help launch her arousal, her heart belongs to Derek, and it always will.

She touches her heart and reaches over to place her hand over his. “Heart to heart. I’m yours, and you’re mine. Nothing will change that.” She holds direct eye contact with him as he quickly glances her way.

“Nothing,” he says as he slows the car. He looks at her more intently, agrees with a generous nod, and clarity in his eyes. He brings the car to a complete stop in front of a random house.

“We do this together.”

“Together.”

He plucks her hand off his chest and kisses the top of it.

She’s convinced he’s ready. His nerves make him seem not ready, but then her nerves are screaming in freak-out mode to her, too. But this sexual adventure is what they’ve wanted from the start of their relationship, and that hasn’t changed. It’s time to enact what they’ve dreamt about, and no last-minute jitters should stop them. Derek is right. If they don’t like it, they can just stop. No harm done.

“Honesty is our superpower,” Derek states while holding Mallory in a direct eye lock.

“Honesty is our superpower,” she agrees. “And pleasure awaits.”

Will it all be easy? No. Will it all be comfortable? Hell, no. There will be a learning curve, but if they stick to their boundaries, communicate incessantly without holding back, and are true to themselves, she’s positive they will succeed in this adventure.

Together.
