Sinful Rewards 7 – Bikes
While I was trekking around the world over the holidays, causing chaos, I spotted a few beautiful bikes.
This bike was snapped at Curacao.

This bike was snapped outside the Harley store in the O’Hare Airport in Chicago. I thought it was apt considering Sinful Rewards is set in Chicago.

Hawke's View
Here’s a snippet of a ride in Sinful Rewards 7.
“Get on the bike, Belinda.” He pats the seat behind him, the smack of skin against leather loud and arousing. “You need this ride.”
“Okay.” I obey him, swinging my leg over the huge machine. The only alternative is to return to the condo, and I don’t want to face Cyndi. Not yet.
“Trust me,” Hawke repeats. He pulls on my legs, sliding me closer to him, his body wedged between my thighs. I slip my hands under his leather jacket and wrap my arms around him, linking my fingers over his flat stomach.
As Hawke dons his sunglasses, his muscles ripple under his black cotton T-shirt. He’s bluntness and brute strength, a primitive beast, savage and unrepentant.
And today, this wild man is mine. I grip him tighter, thrilled by this thought.
Hawke revs the throttle, and the bike vibrates under my ass, all of me rubbing against all of him. I shudder with joy, resting my helmeted head against his back.
The damn man laughs as the machine shoots forward, its tires eating pavement. Hawke weaves in and out of Chicago traffic, avoiding bike couriers and tourists rubbernecking in rental cars, upgrade options dangling from their rearview mirrors. The wind plucks at my pants, whipping the fabric around my legs, and I cuddle closer to my big biker.
Hawke leans backward, silently communicating that he’s here, he has me. Heads turn as we ride, pedestrians gawking at us with open curiosity. My military man doesn’t need bright colors or designer fashions to garner attention. His mere presence attracts gazes. I splay my fingers over his stomach, and our speed accelerates.
Hawke turns the bike off Michigan Avenue, navigating the side streets. The neighborhoods deteriorate and the pavement becomes rougher. He navigates around deep potholes, man and machine moving as one.
The sun warms my shoulders and cool air brushes over my bare arms, the contrast thrilling me. I feel alive, free, happy. Laughter bubbles in my throat.
Hawke was right. This ride is exactly what I need, our speed blowing the worries from my mind. I hug my tattooed biker, trying to convey my joy, and he squeezes my right knee, the warmth of his palm permeating the fabric of my pants.

Bee Carter has been offered everything she has ever dreamed of—a caring, lasting relationship with a handsome, often charming billionaire; the permanent home she’s never had but has always craved; and wealth to buy the designer fashions she loves, support her hard-working mother, and ensure her acceptance by Chicago’s elite.
To obtain what she’s desired for so long, she has to do only two things: Walk away from her best friend, a woman who is destined to betray her … and end her passionate nightly encounters with a certain tattooed biker, a former Marine who can never give her what she needs.
Her answer should be clear, but the heart has a way of complicating even the most straightforward decisions.

Free Scenes With Cyndi And Cole
This post has adult content. If you are under the age of eighteen years old and/or sensitive to adult language/situations, please do not read this post.
I’ve been writing Cyndi’s story on the Goodreads group ( https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/139616-a-year-of-sizzling-hot-sax-read-along ). These scenes are raw and uncensored, completely unedited.
“I thought you’d never ask, darling.” Cole’s slow southern accent adds syllables to each word. No man should look and sound as good as he does.
He cups my ass, lifting me off the ground. I like my family’s candy a little too much and I’m not a small woman. This feat alone impresses the hell out of me. I wrap my legs around him, supplementing his efforts.
Bracing me against the brick wall, my movie star nudges against my pussy lips with his cock head, searching for the right entrance. I hold onto his shoulders and shift my hips, assisting him.
Finally, we align and he lowers me, agonizingly slowly. “That’s it, baby,” I murmur encouragement. “You’ve got it.”
He’s got me. Completely. God, Cole has a nice cock, thick with a bit of kink to it. My eyes roll back in my head. His cock head is hitting all the right places, filling me up.
Finally my pussy lips press against his neatly trimmed private curls and my sextastic movie star ride temporarily comes to a halt. I meet his electric blue gaze, stunned that I have my Hollywood crush inside me. “You alright?” I ask, my voice husky. “Or do you need a stand in?”
He blinks once, twice, his eyelashes obscenely long, and then he throws back his head and laughs. “Stand in?” He withdraws half an inch and rocks back into me. “Fuck you,” he says this with a toe curling affection, giving me another shallow thrust.
I gasp, the sensation delectable. “That’s what I keep asking you to do.” I help him, pulling myself higher, because, unless the man is huge and the woman is tiny, fucking against a wall is a two person job. “Don’t hold back on my account,” I push him, breathless with passion. “I can take anything you give me.”
“I doubt that,” he huffs, driving into me harder, deeper, smacking my bare ass against the rough brick. I’ll feel this for days, weeks, his sexual autograph imprinted on my skin. “I’m a bad ass in the sack.”
Oh lordie. He is. I pant. “How…are…you…against…the…wall?” I force the words and my grin, my pussy already tightening around his shaft.
“God.” Cole burrows his face in the curve where my neck meets my shoulder. “Not as good as you.” He ruts into me with everything he has, shaking my body, making my pussy lips hum.
I meet him halfway, giving as good as I get, digging my heels into his clenched ass cheeks, riding him like the stud he is. Our sex noises are concealed by the roar of unseen bikes.
We work together for our release. I angle my hips so he hits the right spots. He smacks his cotton-covered chest against my breasts, stimulating my super sensitive nipples.
I’ve been with a lot of men but none of them felt like this, right, perfect, destined. His musk and heat engulfs me, giving the illusion of safety, of caring.
He pistons in and out of me and I moan. Neither of us will last long, not with this first, perhaps only fuck. We both have healthy sex drives and we’ve been teasing each other all night, eyefucking the hell out of each other.
“Come for me, darling,” Cole coaxes, ramming into me like the humping machine he is. He’s forgotten my name but that’s okay. He feels so good. I have to forgive him. “Come.”
“After you.” I grit my teeth, my arms and legs trembling.
“Come,” he growls, thrusting harder, the gentleman in him insisting ladies come first.
I’m no lady. “After you,” I repeat, squeezing his shaft with inner muscles, a move that never fails to make men shoot their wad.
“Fuck,” Cole roars, no exception. Except my movie star doesn’t forget about me, not even when consumed by a mind-splitting orgasm. He drives forward and swivels his hips, grinding against my clit, breaking my hold on reality.
I scream, bucking against him, twisting and writhing, trapped between hard man and a brick wall. Cole pins my ass in place, securing me as my world spins, streams of light flowing around me, waves of bliss rising and falling.
Gradually my surroundings become still, my breathing levels and rational thought returns. “Holy shit.” I dip my head and rest my chin on his shoulder. “You’re good.”
“You’re better.” Cole lowers me until my heels touch the pavement and we gaze at each other, two great lays acknowledging the skills of the other.
“There’s only so much I can do against the wall.” I pull my corset higher, concealing my breasts. “Blow jobs are where I truly shine.”
I fix my panties and skirt, trying to act as casual as possible, while my heart is cracking in two. He’ll leave me now, move on to the next fangirl, and it shouldn’t make me sad because that’s what we do. We fuck with no commitments, never getting involved, never looking back.
“I’m great at oral also.” Cole takes care of the condom, pulls up his jeans. Regret chills me. I didn’t even get to see him without his shirt. “I bet you taste good.” His gaze slides to my face.
“I do taste good.” I tilt my chin upward.
“Ever been eaten out on a bike?” He holds out his hand.
I slide my palm against his, hope filling my chest. “Nope.” Does he want more? “But you don’t have a bike.”
Cole gives me one of his million dollar smiles. “I don’t have a bike in Chicago. I have one in LA.”
“I know a great place for breakfast in LA.” I beam at him.

Writing Erotic Romance – Pacing
This post has adult content. If you are under the age of eighteen years old and/or sensitive to adult language/situations, please do not read this post.
All of the installments of Sinful Rewards are roughly the same number of words. Why then do some readers and reviewers claim the installments are becoming shorter?
The answer is one word—pacing.
Pacing is the speed of reading or comprehension. Pacing in writing is very similar to the tempo in music. This is why many writers write to music. They match the tempo. One scene might be a slow song, the sentences long and luxurious, the action leisurely. Another scene might have a dance beat, the sentences short, the action rushed. These two scenes might have the same number of words but the arrangement is very different, tricking the brain into reading faster or slower, as the writer intends.
And the writer should intend. Pacing is one of the most powerful tools in our toolbox. It decides whether or not readers finish our stories, what they grasp, what they overlook. It is how I can hide clues in my stories without readers perceiving them as obvious. For erotic romances, it is the difference between a fast and furious against the wall quickie and a Sunday morning sexual exploration.
The Natural Flow Of A Story
A story usually starts slower, speeds up in the middle, and then slows down at the end. The reason for this is because action and dialogue is faster to read than narrative and description.
At the beginning of a story, we normally describe the characters and the setting and weave in back story. All of these have a slower pace.
At the end of the story, the characters often think back on what they’ve learned, how they’ve grown. The action is winding down and the characters are absorbing what this means for them, giving readers a glimpse into the future.
The middle of the story is normally dialogue and action heavy. Both of these are fast to read. As Sinful Rewards is a serial, one continuous story, the installments in the middle naturally have a fast pace.
The Reader Breathes As Our Characters Breathe
To draw readers into our stories, we want to eliminate as much separation between them and our point of view character as possible. One method to have the reading pace reflect our point of view character’s pace. If our character is in a life or death car chase, her adrenaline pumping, her breath ragged, our reader should be reading as fast as she can. If our character is lying on the beach, relaxing, our reader should be relaxing also, leisurely turning pages.
A faster pace isn’t always better, especially for erotic romances. If the entire story is go-go-go, the reader won’t be able to breathe, won’t reflect on events, might become tired. A fast paced sex scene can be an exciting fast fuck but it isn’t romantic or lovey dovey. Having one pace for the entire story also reduces the power of this tool.
Pacing Problems
When I’m told by an editor, an agent, or a critique partner, that I have pacing problems, my first temptation is to change what happens in the scene, to crank up (or down) the action, if it is a battle scene, to increase (or decrease) the body count.
That is often not necessary. I can write the same scene with a fast pace or with a slow pace merely by changing my choice of words or my sentence structure.
Size Matters
The size of words and the length of sentences influence pacing. Readers read two short sentences faster than they read one long sentence. They read two one syllable words faster than they read one two syllable word.
Short simple sentences are easier for our brains to understand. If I really want a reader to note a point in my story, I use a short simple sentence. “I love you” is one example. This sentence is three words long. The words are one syllable each.
However, a short simple sentence is also read quickly. As “I love you” is usually a critical declaration, I will often frame it with long, complex sentences to slow down the moment, to allow the reader to savor it.
“I love you,” he declared. And he did, madly, truly, intensely, feeling an endless depth of emotion he never thought possible.
This second, run-on sentence serves the first, encouraging the reader to linger over the words, the sentiment.
Not So Fast, Mister
Forget what your English teacher taught you. In erotic romances, run-one sentences are our friends. They slow down sex scenes, increasing the emotion, bringing the reader along for the sizzling hot ride.
Using description in a sex scene is an easy way to slow pacing. The heroine doesn’t simply press her lips to the hero’s shoulder. She notes the salty taste of his skin, his musky scent, the way his muscles flex under her. She’s intensely aware of him, of everything about the man she’s fucking.
Sneaking in some introspective will also slow down the scene. The hero is rocking into her, moving in and out, in and out, and she’s thinking how easy it would be to fall in love with him, to crave a lifetime of this loving. But, oh noes, she knows they’re not meant to be. They only have this one sextastic moment and she’ll make every second count. (See how we inserted some delicious conflict? Grins. Yes, we’re tricksy that way.)
We don’t want to have a slow pace for the entire sex scene. The pace of the scene should reflect the pace of the act, starting slow, increasing faster and faster, until oh my God, the pacing climaxes when the characters come. Then the pace gradually slows as rational thought returns.
Pacing is a powerful tool, one that I am always working to perfect, taking courses, dissecting well written or best selling stories.
How do you control pacing?

Sinful Rewards 7 – Where You Belong
Have you ever walked into a place or situation and known in your gut that you were meant to be there? You might not have been able to explain why. Perhaps all signs indicated the opposite. But you knew you were exactly where you were supposed to be.
When I was sixteen, I fundraised my way into a class trip to France (that, in itself, was a miracle – I think I sold a handmade crepe to everyone in our small town). A couple of days into the trip, I was feeling homesick. My French was rough. I’d never been out of Canada. We were in Paris. Our hotel had more people than my home town. It was scary and confusing and I missed my big, noisy family.
Then I walked into Sacre Coeur and I instantly knew this was where I was meant to be. I didn’t know why. The church situated in the artsy section of Paris didn’t reflect my religious background. I couldn’t understand half of the things spoken or written on the walls. I didn’t appreciate the architecture. It was dark and a bit gloomy.
I walked to a wall of lit candles, not understanding the reason for the display or for the feeling of rightness inside me. An elderly woman hobbled to the spot beside me, paid her francs for a candle and lit it. She explained in small words, slowly spoken, that she lights a candle every year on this day, the day of her husband’s death. She’d been doing this for over two decades. He was and will always be the love of her life.
After that day, a part of me always judged the guys I dated by that standard—would I light a candle for him decades after he died? When I met my dear wonderful hubby, the answer was ‘yes.’ Is that the reason I was meant to be at Sacre Coeur at that time? I don’t know.
Bee, the heroine in Sinful Rewards, my sizzling hot contemporary erotic romance serial, walks into The Road Gator and knows she belongs. She shouldn’t fit in. She’s a fashionista, with no military or biker experience. The men and women at The Road Gator all served their country and they ride. They wear leather and sport tattoos. She prefers designer dresses and would never consider anything as permanent as ink. They’re hard drinkers. She’s under the table after two shots.
But their core values—loyalty, protecting others—are the same. They understand and don’t judge each other. Bee feels safe there. She fits in, is accepted as one of them. Will she continue to be accepted? We don’t yet know.
Have you ever walked into a place and knew you belonged? Please share your experience!

Third Excerpt For Sinful Rewards 7
This post has adult content. If you are under the age of eighteen years old and/or sensitive to adult language/situations, please do not read this post.
Sinful Rewards 7 releases January 20th! Here is a third excerpt. Hawke is so cocky. I love him!
“I shouldn’t spend time with you.” I move toward him, drawn by the energy surrounding him, my gaze fixed on his rugged face. “Nicolas tried to kiss me and I pulled away from him.” I brush against Hawke’s leg, the contact sending a pulse of awareness up my form. “That’s your fault.”
“Yeah, it is.” Hawke grins at me, unapologetic. “I see the color of your shirt matches my eyes today.” He hooks his arm around my waist and hauls my body against his, my breasts smacking against his chest, my thighs straddling his right knee, the pressure against my pant-covered clit divine.
“It’s a blouse, not a shirt.” I drift my fingertips over the short coarse hairs on his chin, back and forth, back and forth, and his expression softens.
“And I can’t see your eyes because you’re wearing your ugly sunglasses.” I tap the frames, spying my reflection in the glass, my face flushed, my lips parted.
“You’ll have to get used to them, sweetheart.” Hawke removes his sunglasses and clips them to the collar of his T-shirt. “Getting a bug in the eye hurts like a son of a bitch.”
I twist my lips. “Fashion takes sacrifice. Looking good—”
Hawke lifts his knee, pressing his leg against my pussy, and my words fade, arousal obliterating my thoughts. “I’m not sacrificing my vision for fashion.” His pale blue eyes sparkle with humor. The damn man knows what he’s doing to me.
“I plan to look at your beautiful face for decades.” He runs one coarse fingertip along my nose, my lips, my chin, setting off tiny fires within me. When he handles me like this, gently, slowly, carefully, I truly believe I’m beautiful.
“You know I can’t think when you touch me.” I scowl, rubbing against him, my need making a mockery of my harsh words. “People will see us.”
“And you’re not ready for that yet.”
Yet? I stare at him, intrigued and scared by the possibility that some day, I might find pleasure in public, in full view of everyone.
“No one will see anything.” Hawke leans toward me. “We’re fully dressed.” He drapes my hair over my shoulders, concealing me. “You’re small.” He curves his torso around mine, surrounding me with muscle.
“I’m average-sized,” I retort.
His lips twitch. “Trust me to keep you safe.”

Sinful Rewards And Being A Normal Family
In Sinful Rewards 7, Bee talks about ‘normal families.’
Nicolas must devour his dinners on a smaller, more intimate table, because he’s normal and that’s what normal people do. They cook meals, sit around tables, lingering over food and talking about their days, their hopes, their dreams, giving each person the attention he or she craves. They don’t eat the free food at their workplaces and then bring home leftovers for their daughters, too exhausted to listen to their news.
Bee was raised by her mom and never knew her father. I didn’t grow up in a traditional family either. My mom was a big fan of Norman Rockwell’s art. I’d gaze at his work and think ‘THIS is what a normal family is.’ I thought the children with loving moms and dads lived that life.
One of the touching moments in The Blind Side for me was when Michael Oher’s character looks at one of Norman Rockwell’s famous artworks and pushes the family to replicate that Thanksgiving scene. He wanted to experience ‘normal’ also.
I don’t know that this normal truly exists. Every family is a bit unusual, has its challenges and quirks. We’re not idealized paintings or depictions. But I do believe the love in those paintings is very real.
Do you have a normal family?

Here’s a snippet…
How much of your own personality bleeds into your characters?
Cynthia Sax: Part of the fun of writing is NOT being ourselves, exploring views of the world we wouldn’t necessarily hold. For example: I’m not overly concerned about my appearance yet Bee, the heroine in Sinful Rewards, is a fashionista. I’m not a great cook. She is.
BUT the emotion is real. I know what it is like not to fit in. I know what it is like to be responsible for other people, to not have the luxury of thinking only about myself when making life decisions.

Bee Carter has spent a lifetime creating her good-girl persona. Three harsh words uttered in anger shred this carefully crafted façade, testing her relationships.
Nicolas, her handsome billionaire, is hiding a decades-old secret. Bee’s scandal will draw unwanted attention to his dark past, placing the real estate empire he’s built and the employees he manages in peril. Hawke, her tattooed bad-boy biker, protects the rich and famous. His high-profile clients won’t want their bodyguard to be linked to Chicago’s wild woman.
Both men desire her, craving her touch with a white-hot passion, but who will risk everything to stand by her side—her biker or her billionaire?

Nathan Lawford, Blaine Technologies’ chief financial officer, is known as the Iceman. He conducts his personal and business affairs without emotion, never allowing himself to become involved with anyone. When Nate sees something or someone he wants, he negotiates, paying a simple, set monetary price.
Now he wants Camille, the company’s green-haired intern.
Camille Joplin Trent never expected to be paid to pleasure the man of her dreams. She can’t quite figure out why this is a bad thing. Nate is intelligent, handsome, sophisticated, everything she’s ever wanted in a lover and never thought she could have. Their contract is for a month, thirty lust-filled days of making every sexual fantasy they’ve ever had come true. At the end of this month, the rules state their relationship will end.
Of course, Camille has never been good at following rules.
