Now that I have sufficiently scared you... well, I will have if you're like me and not done a thing for Christmas yet, grab a cuppa, chillax and get to know Rob Meyer. You'll find him in S.J. Maylee's fabulous new release In the Blind. Don't forget to enter the Giveaway too!
Who is Rob Meyer?
I’ve
often said how much I enjoy writing a character who changes over time. Sometimes
those changes are caused by things we have no control over and sometimes it
stems from our own bad choices.
Rob
Meyer, the hero from my new release, IN THE BLIND, is the kind of guy who’s
been crushed by bad choices. He may have married his childhood sweetheart, but
it didn’t lead to a happy ending. The divorce made perfect sense for all
involved, but he’s still pounding his head, wondering what he could have done,
what he missed, and wondering if he’ll miss it next time too. That kind of
self-doubt can be crippling.
With
his needs and desires pushing him to find answers, he leans on his best friend
and a trainer, a Master at a local BDSM club, Charlie. With amazing advice,
you’ll see if Rob’s able to get out of his own way. With his new found
strength, he may just be able to provide answers to the woman who’s captured
his heart in more ways than one.
The
power of love is capable of many things, but first you have to welcome it into
your life. IN THE BLIND is a story of passion, domination, and second chances.
When the eyes are blind, it’s amazing what the heart can see.

Where you can find IN THE BLIND:
IN THE BLIND Excerpt:
The
door continued to open every few minutes. Finally, the woman in front of Jane
was taken away. She could see nothing past the door besides black. Until the
door closed, she continued gazing into the darkness. How would the loss of
sight change the experience? Would she feel more? What would he feel like?
Nerves shook through her limbs, and sweat tickled her palms.
The
door opened, and she stood straight as a statue. This was crazy. She searched
for pockets in her robe. When she found none, she swallowed back a curse.
The
escort stopped in front of her. “Are you having second thoughts?” He shifted
the goggles higher on his forehead.
“Maybe.”
“Would
you like to step back and wait to go or ...” He stepped back and cracked the
door open. “Sometimes it helps to hear the sounds of the other participants.”
She
closed her eyes and took in the moans and let her mind drift to what her body
would feel like to make her make those kinds of sounds.
“I
don’t want to pressure you. Tell me what you want.”
“Thank
you.” She opened her eyes and took a step towards him. The only way was
forward. “I’m ready.”
“Good
for you.” He reached out and took hold of her hand. “Come on, I’ll take you to
the lucky one, for tonight.” He winked and tugged her forward.
Once
the door closed behind them, Jane was surrounded by unending black. She looked
around, but there was nothing, no end to the darkness. A nervous shiver danced
along her spine, followed by thoughts of haunted houses. What would she find
around the next corner? Her escort tugged her forward, bringing her back to the
night's purpose.
She
needed to remember why she was here. She needed to live in the moment. There
was a good chance she was about to touch the man who would give her release.
They
slowed, turned a corner, and after a couple more steps they stopped. She
swallowed the lump in her throat when her escort placed her hand into
another’s.
“Enjoy.”
He squeezed her shoulder, and she sensed his presence leave the space.
A
pull on her hand forced her feet forward a couple of steps. She stopped just as
abruptly when she bumped into a hard chest—the man of the hour. This man would
touch her soon, but he wasn’t yet. He was only holding her hand. Her breasts
moved with her uneven breathing, and her nipples scraped against his chest.
Why
wasn’t he touching her? Was he nervous, too, or having second thoughts? She
reached up in curiosity to make sure he wasn’t wearing a pair of night-vision
goggles, but only found soft hair. She followed the section of hair to above
his shoulder and continued onto smooth skin and around his shoulder to his
bicep thick with muscle. Her heart thumped, and her breath quickened as
moisture covered her needy pussy.
She
breathed deeply, taking in his delicious musky scent. Her hand wandered to his
chest and found more of the same, firm skin rounding over firm muscles. A warm
hand landed over hers and held her hand tight to his chest. A nose tickled her
ear.
“Do
you like?”
“Yes,”
she admitted.
“I’d
like to explore you now, okay?”
“Yes,
please.”
She
pushed out the breath she held and worked to breathe normally. His hand landed
softly on her cheek, fingertips caressed her chin, and then up to her temple.
The gentle touches raised a long sleeping yearning within her, and she leaned
into his touch.
His
thumb swept across her bottom lip. Curiosity wore away her reserve, and she let
her tongue reach out and taste his fingers. One digit pushed into her mouth,
and she sucked lightly, enjoying his clean taste.
The
finger left her mouth, a second of waiting, and then his mouth crushed down on
hers. His lips were firm and demanding, feeding her hunger. He ran his fingers
through her hair, and then his warm wet tongue swept through her mouth. Back
and forth, deep, then gentle, their tongues dueled. She explored more of him as
her need to know him intimately soared.
His
touch lingered around her shoulders and down her sides. When he found her ass,
he kneaded the globes. The kiss ended as abruptly as it started, leaving her
wanting.
She
heard nothing but the driving rhythm of the music, each track feeding right
into another. The current song enchanted her, and her hips swayed. No one could
see her, so there was no reason for self-conscious thoughts. The brilliance of
the club hit her with full force. It didn’t matter who she was or who he was.
Tonight, they celebrated life and the pleasures they could bring their bodies.
Everyone deserved pleasure. Even her.

What do you think it would be like to be in a pitch black club like Club Blind?
Thank you so much for having me today, Doris! :)
ReplyDeleteBeing in a pitch black environment like Club Blind would definitely push my fear of loss of grounding, similar to knowing how to swim yet needing at least my tip toes to touch bottom. It would take a very special person to get me to let go enough to allow my other senses to take over.
ReplyDeleteIt pushes my buttons too, Cheryl. I had to find the perfect hero. Rob is definitely it. :)
DeleteI'm not a fan of not seeing so after I got over my fear, I think it would enhance all other senses...including touch!
ReplyDeleteI hear you there. I actually had to work past one of my biggest fears to write this story. The key for me was making it a romance and not suspense, nor was my heroine w/o her hero. Also, Club Blind has a safe, sane, and consensual atmosphere which made it all work.
DeleteWhat a lovely little getting to know Rob! He and Jane are defiantly perfectly matched!
ReplyDeletei think it would be very scary at first but when you learn to adjust and see what happens it could be well worth the fear
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it would be a lot of fun once you get over the initial fear. It would have to be with a special person for sure. Being able to actually "explore" the other person and learn about them without seeing them.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds very interesting and fun. I'd love to try it if I ever had the chance.
