Bonus Scenes

When we write our books, we never really plot and we don’t write to deadlines either. This is mainly because we don’t like to feel constrained and we also tend view our stories as an ever-changing work in progress. We did try to plot once, when we started writing the Badger Creek Duet Series, and to say it was a disaster would be an understatement! We had a plan that looked like one of those crime scene murder boards, complete with way too many weird and complex character hook-ups! We spent several hours on the phone to each other trying to unravel it all, but ultimately we ditched the whole thing and went back to our standard “fly by the seat of our pants, hot mess” approach! And we’ve never looked back.

In any case, as a result of this “wing it and see” approach we use, sometimes things get cut and sometimes things get re-written. And sometimes, we might write some bonus stuff too, which usually goes out first to our newsletter subscribers (along with a bunch of other cool stuff!).

If you’d like to read some of the deleted, re-written, or bonus scenes we’ve put together, this is the place to find it! Just click on the links below and happy reading!

One month to go!! I back her up against the tile One month to go!!

I back her up against the tile as I crush my mouth to hers in a deep kiss, our teeth and tongues colliding as a raw hunger takes over. My hands grip her hips as I press my body against hers, want coursing through me. Doesn’t matter how many times we do this; I can never get enough of her. I’ve never wanted anyone like I want Sloane, and sometimes I still can’t believe that she’s all mine.

“Owen’s hand wraps around my throat, squeezing gently, his mouth next to my ear as he whispers, “I think you like it rough, but I want to treat you like glass, baby.”
 “I won’t break, Owen,” I murmur back, my words coming out on a breathy exhale, that desperation I’ve felt all weekend returning.

Soooo spicy this one… His hand moves from my th Soooo spicy this one…

His hand moves from my thigh to my wrist, grabbing it, he pulls me up from the chair. Without words, I’m following him away from the crowd and down a hallway. Neither of us speaks, and when he comes to a room far enough away, he punches in a code. The door opens to a storage room filled with shelves loaded down with cleaning supplies and towels, a stationary sink in the corner for filling buckets. Shoving the door closed behind us, he backs me up against it, his body flush with mine. Our chests are heaving, heat radiating between us.

Whoa…it’s getting hot in here! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

“Sloane, jesus,” I groan, kissing her, our tongues tangling together as I grind against her, desperate to be inside her but also wanting to wait because this is a moment I’ve been dreaming of forever. A moment I don’t want to rush or forget. Ever. “I want you so fucking bad.” 

“I need you,” she says, her words a plea, begging me almost. 

I lift my head, our eyes meeting. “Fuck, I need you too,” I whisper. 

She smiles up at me, her hands on my chest as they slide down my stomach to my dick. She curls one of them around me, her grip firm. 

“You are so hard,” she says.

His other hand toys with the hem of my dress, and when he doesn’t move, I pull my dress up, slipping it over my head and tossing it to the side, leaving myself in just my bra and underwear. “Sloane,” Owen rasps, a question to my name, and I nod, telling him I want him too.
