M. Stratton's Halloween Scavenger Hunt




Day Three


With Halloween right around the corner, M. Stratton has decided to celebrate one of her favourite holiday’s with a good old fashioned scavenger hunt!  Join us as we journey through all of her books in search of the missing pieces needed to claim the final grand prize.
 
Every day you will be sent in search of different hosting blogs that will hold the pieces needed to continue on in the hunt.  After each day, go back to the event page and make sure you post the pieces needed for the day. 

At the end of the week one lucky winner will be chosen to win a collection of signed books from M. Stratton(including The Storm Series, Dreaming in Moonlight and Fade to Black) and a $25 Amazon Gift Card.

Remember the missing piece may be hidden in an synopsis, excerpt, teaser photo or interview questions given to Miss Statton and you may have to visit more than one blog to find it.  The piece needed may be a part of a picture or as simple as a word in a paragraph.

Jackson was right. She didn’t have to face this alone; all she had to do was open up and let him in. He’d shown over and over that he’d be there for her. Hell, he’d searched for her, for years. He’d kept the fact he knew her, a secret. She went back in her head to the last night they were together. She had completely relaxed with him, and given all she had, it was the best night of her life. She wanted that, and the woman she used to be, back. It was coming, slowly, but maybe there was something she could do now.
Leaning against the counter, she rubbed her hands over her face, wondering if she could do this. Knowing that if she did, it would change everything. It would mean Jackson meant more to her than her need for revenge. It would mean she’d have to start relying on someone else, knowing they would be relying on her too. She’d actually be in a relationship. As damaged and broken as she was, she really wanted this; she wanted it with Jackson. She needed him in her soul.
Having made her decision, she quickly undressed, folding her clothes neatly and putting them to the side. Taking a deep breath, she climbed in under the covers and called to Jackson so he would come in.
He slid into bed behind her and reached for her. She knew the instant he knew she was naked; his hand stilled on her shoulder and his breath caught.
“Are you sure?” he whispered.
Turning over so she was facing him, she said, “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
She felt his hands shaking as they traced down her arm and across her belly, leaving a trail of goose bumps. Her eyes closed and she enjoyed being touched by him.
“I don’t want to do anything that will scare you,” he said as he kissed the side of her neck, just under her ear.
She pulled his t-shirt up so she could touch his chest. “Remember that last night we were together?”
“How could I forget?” His breathing became more rapid.
“Nothing you did then scared me. I was yours, completely. Take me. Take all that I am.”
She felt him go still for a second as her words sunk in. The next thing she knew, his lips captured hers and their tongues fought for dominance.
She pulled and tugged at his shirt, wanting to feel his skin against hers. Their mouths briefly separated as he yanked the shirt off over his head. They crashed back together, the years they spent apart melted away as their bodies remembered.
Once they were naked together, he slid into her and she shuddered, finally feeling complete. She matched him thrust for thrust, wanting more, demanding more from him. Rolling off the mattress, the cool marble floor was in direct contrast to the heat coming off his body.
Using his strength, he moved them back onto their makeshift bed and she enjoyed the feeling of being in charge, setting the pace as she straddled him. Her breathing coming faster as his fingers teased her nipples. Leaning down, she took his mouth with hers. She pulled back, but he wouldn’t let go. Sitting up, he wrapped his arms around her as they continued to rock with him buried deep inside of her.
Feeling the orgasm building, she raked her nails down his back not able to control herself. His fingers bit into her ass as his held her close to him. His cock throbbed inside her, wanting its release.
Running her hands through his hair, she got a handful of it and pulled his head back. Looking into his eyes in the dim light, she knew she’d come home.
Screaming his name, they toppled over the edge together.

M. Stratton is an International Amazon bestselling author in the romantic suspense and mystery suspense categories for her debut novel After the Storm. She is a self-proclaimed dork that loves to make people laugh and can trip over nothing. Her inner rock star is always on stage performing to a sold out crowd but is quiet and shy on the outside.

She lives with her husband and son in Arizona, which is a big difference from where she grew up north of Chicago Illinois. As an only child she learned to tell herself stories to make the long winters go by quicker while dreaming of summer vacations. Now as an adult she still makes up stories to pass the time, but now she writes them down to share with other people.

When not writing you can find M. watching football (Go Bears!), NASCAR, or classic movies, watching her husband and father restore classic cars, and seeing who can be sillier, her or her son, and of course reading.
