Going For It

Going For It
Jo Leigh

Dr. Jamie Hampton talked sex - and all of Manhattan listened.She had the hottest nighttime radio show. Her racy topics and sizzling innuendo made Jamie the number one topic around water coolers all over the city. Her motto? "Go for it!" She was the expert on relationships and sex - in theory. In practice it was another matter….Bad boy Chase Newman loved talking to Jamie. On the airwaves, her voice aroused him. In person, he planned to seduce her. To teach her everything he instinctively knew she craved. So why wasn't she taking her own advice and going for it?

“I’m going to have you…sooner or later,” Chase murmured.

With a grin he tugged Jamie’s lower lip between his front teeth. A second later he stole her breath with a kiss, his tongue teasing her mouth open. With gentle pressure he rubbed his chest against hers, drawing her nipples into hard peaks. She shifted, a soft gasp letting Chase know she’d felt his erection straining for release. Soon, very soon…

Jamie whimpered as heat pooled in her lower body. He did something terribly wicked with his tongue then, thrusting inside her, then pulling back as if showing her exactly what he wanted to do to her. Goose bumps covered her flesh as vivid pictures came to mind. Chase naked—oh, lordy—thrusting into her over and over, making her scream.

His lips moved to her ear. “I’m going to taste every inch of you,” he warned, his hot breath making her shiver. “And I’m going to give you pleasure you’ve never even dreamed of.”

Sooner, Jamie thought, please make it sooner…

To Birgit Davis-Todd for her faith, insight and friendship.

This is just so cool.

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR…

Everyone says you shouldn’t do it. The sane thing would be to drop it. Why risk it? Why take a chance you might get creamed?

Oh, what the hell…GO FOR IT.

Sound familiar? I hope so. I don’t know about you, but most of the truly remarkable moments in my life have started out with that nervous tickle deep inside, with the challenge to step out of my comfort zone.

I had an incredible time writing my first Blaze novel. Creating two characters like Jamie and Chase was a definite challenge. They’re both gutsy, strong, successful…and completely confused about love.

But, and here’s the important part, they both threw caution to the wind. They went for it. They took the biggest, scariest risk of all—they dared to love.

My wish for you is that you, too, GO FOR IT. Take that risk. Put your heart on the line. You’ll never know unless you try.

DR. Jamie Talks Sex…and Manhattan Listens!

Darlene Whittaker took a deep drag of her cigarette outside the offices of WXNT Talk Radio and stared at the face on the billboard across the way. Dr. Jamie Hampton was the newest “It” girl in Manhattan, the topic of conversations from the Bowery to the Bronx. Beautiful, brilliant, radical Dr. Jamie.

Darlene hated the no-smoking laws in New York that had forced her outside and cursed the mayor and all the voters at least once a day. She missed her local bar, where she used to drink tequila shooters with beer chasers and go through about a half a pack a night. Damn, those were good times.

She was here on a hunch. The article had been her idea. It was also her idea to interview Dr. Jamie on the air. The good doctor hadn’t wanted to, but her station manager Fred Holt had insisted. Holt was many things, but stupid wasn’t one of them. The national exposure Dr. Jamie would get with the article was going to help get her syndicated, and that’s where the big bucks were. Dr. Laura, Howard Stern, Delilah—they all made a fortune for four hours on the air, five days a week. Nice work if you could get it.
