Write the vision, and make it plain.
I want to first thank Jesus Christ, my personal Savior and friend for this vision.
It seems that once the idea came, I couldn’t stop typing.
To my husband and children, thank you for your support and encouragement.
There is no way that I could have finished this book without your patience.
To my friends, Amy and Dionna, thank you for your motivation and ideas.
I wouldn’t have been able to create such fabulous characters without your
“carnal” education. I couldn’t wait to get to work each morning
to share what I had written the night before. I love you both!
To my sister, Tiffany. Thank you for helping me to research the best avenue for
this book. I don’t think you realize how smart and talented you are. I love you!
To my sister, Kim. Your craziness made Aiden a reality. Love you lots!
To my mom, thank you for loving me. You always find a way to make me laugh. I
love you!

Chapter One
“Camille, are you awake?"
"Sharon? What time is it?"
"It’s a little after one in the morning."
Sitting up in bed, “what's wrong?”
"Nothing’s wrong, I met someone and I’m really attracted to him.”
"Are you serious?"
Sharon Wen has just turned 21 years old and has been an actress since she was 16. She is absolutely beautiful, thanks to her African American mother and Asian father. Having recently moved to New York, she is currently on location filming a new action movie in Dallas, Texas alongside Aiden Taylor, the ultimate man and a bonafide man whore.
"Yes, I'm serious!" Her voice is all dreamy and determined. "Have you ever known me to make such a confession about anyone?"
Reaching over to turn on her bedside light, "no I haven’t so tell me, who has you in such a big tizzy that you had to wake me at one in the morning?”
Sighing into the phone. "Well, he was voted one of America's sexiest men alive and I seem to get butterflies in my stomach every time he looks at me! Maybe I shouldn't tell you.”
"You call to wake me up at one in the morning and you don’t want to talk, have you lost your mind?" If only Camille could reach through the phone and shake some sense into her best friend who she's known since their freshman year of high school. "Spill the beans or die!"
Taking a long, deep breath, Sharon finally blurts out, "Okay, okay, it’s Aiden Taylor!"
"Aiden who? Girl, are you crazy?" Aiden Taylor is the biggest man whore to ever walk the face of the earth. Completely awake now, “Sharon, stay away from that whore. He will eat you alive. Believe me, he is a wolf and you’re a sheep. Hear me and hear me good, beware! He is just like Philip Smith. Remember what he did to poor Stacy?”
Stacy was one of the smartest girls at Carver High School. Growing up in the small town of Sutter Creek, California everyone knew everyone's business. Philip Smith was the All-American boy with a promising future and every girl, including sweet Stacy, whose dad happened to be a pastor, just had to have him. Stacy was beautiful and she knew it. She was the typical preacher's kid and could talk her way into and out of any situation. But, she never considered that her manipulation tactics would be reversed on her by Philip Smith. After sneaking out to meet him one Sunday during church service, he ended up taking her virginity, bragging about it to his friends and a week later dating one of Stacy's best friends. Typical all American boy, not any different from Aiden Taylor, the man whore!
"Yes, I remember Stacy. And if you will recall, I'm 21 now. A grown woman and able to make my own decisions and deal with the consequences as they come. Besides, Stacy wasn’t all that innocent."
"No, she wasn’t all that innocent but you are! You are still a virgin aren’t you?"
Frowning into the phone, "Of course I’m still a virgin. But you have to admit, that man is fine!”
"Yeah, that devil is fine alright and he’s also dangerous. I hope this is just an infatuation that you won’t act on."
"Camille, I’m not stupid and I’ve dealt with worse than Aiden Taylor. He’s just a man. A fine man might I add. It’s just that I’ve never felt like this about anyone before, it’s weird. All I can say is that when he looks at me, I really want to jump his bones.”
"Jump his bones. Really?" Laughing out loud, “it’s called lust.”
Laughing along, “okay, it’s lust, I know. Well listen, I know you have class in a few hours so I’ll let you go.”
Yawning, “I do have an early class but I really want you to be careful. Sex is complicated Sharon. You’ve always said that you wanted to wait until you were married. I just don’t want you to have any regrets. I wish I would have waited and not given into David and his lies. Look how long we’ve been together and he still hasn’t made an attempt to commit.”
“I’ll be careful. Get some rest and I’ll call you when I get back home on Saturday.”
Hanging up the phone, Sharon closes her eyes and lays her head back on the pillow of her king sized bed. She’s staying at the Langston Hotel with all of the other actors and actresses until Saturday, the scheduled date to complete the final shoot of the highly anticipated action thriller. She can't help feeling a tad guilty for making Camille think about David. Camille and David have been dating since their senior year in high school. David was a sophomore in college at the time. He had promised Camille that he was going to marry her when he graduated and that was two years ago. Not understanding him wanting to put Camille off considering the fact that she has so much to offer and is always getting hit on by guys, even on her worst day. At 22, she is in her senior year of college majoring in business management. At 5'5", 125 pounds, she is absolutely gorgeous. With her smooth caramel skin and shoulder length natural hair, she’s a real gem.
Chapter Two
"Just what are you up to?” Sebastian asked Aiden as he walked into his trailer.
"What do you mean, what am I up to?"
"I've seen how you keep eyeing that new beauty on set. She is too innocent and too young and I repeat, too innocent for you!"
"Man, she's an adult. And besides, I'm only flirting with her. She does seem a little green though, doesn't she?"
Aiden noticed Sharon the minute he arrived on set in Dallas on last Wednesday. Unlike the rest of the women on set, who are practically handing him their
panties, she seems a bit reserved. However, he knows she’s interested. Now he only has three days before Saturday to make his move. At 25, he has been a very successful actor and voted “the sexiest man alive” for four years in a row. Not considering himself vain, but he has to agree, he is pretty darn sexy, Paul Walker sexy. Standing at 6'4", toned muscles, tanned skin, blue eyes and blond hair with a smile to die for, he is most definitely every ladies wet dream.
"Besides Sebastian, I think she's interested in me too. She is absolutely beautiful! Each time I look at her, which I’ll admit is often, I just want to run my fingers through all that silky hair. I can’t help wondering if it’s as soft as it looks, because you know I love women with long hair. And her skin is so damn smooth, the best looking toffee that I've ever seen. And let me not forget those slanted, dark brown eyes of hers. Man, I know that God put a little extra care in creating her. Wait, did I mention those lips?” Smirking, “nah, I wouldn't try to take advantage of sweet Ms. Sharon Wen. I just want to spend some time to talk to her ‘alone’ without all the other desperate women on set!"
“Damn man, you have been checking her out, literally.” Moving to sit on the sofa, Sebastian can't help but to laugh because since arriving on set, the only ‘alone’ time that Aiden has been able to get has been when he’s running to his trailer or his hotel room to avoid the ‘desperate women’ as he refers to his followers. "Okay, I’ll admit, the girl is gorgeous. But remember, she’s innocent. A blind man can see that. She is wholesome, not like these skanks on set. Believe me, she is definitely the committing kind. No love her and leave her. If you know what I mean? Besides, all this time I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you with a sista."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Now get out! You've overstayed your visit. By the way, I briefly dated a ‘sista’ about a year ago."
“Really? Well you never mentioned it to me and I know for a fact that you didn’t hit it because you know the saying, once you go black, you don’t go back.”
Pointing to the door and laughing at his best friend, “man what? Get out!”
Going to sit in the same spot that his best friend had just vacated. He can’t help thinking that there is something about this girl and it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of her skin. Which by the way, is breathtakingly beautiful! I'd love just to taste and see if it’s as sweet as it appears. And that sexy body is to die for. She about 5’6” and is fine as hell! If only I can get her alone without any interruptions. Getting up from the sofa to return back on set, it’s settled, I have just three days to make a move if I want to see where this can possibly go. If I'm lucky, I can keep the desperate women, worrisome Amy and too attached Megan away.
Chapter Three
"Okay ladies and gentlemen, that's a wrap! Stein Winston, our director and producer yells at 4 o'clock in the morning."
It's Saturday and Sharon has gone out of her way to avoid me with the exception of exchanging our lines. I'm wondering if the interest I originally saw in her body language was just my imagination. No, it couldn't have been. She is definitely interested. There is only one way to find out. I've been going about this all wrong. I need to step up my game and make my move. God, look at how beautiful she is. She’s yawned three times now so I know she’s tired. But, it’s now or never. Why am I so nervous? This is so un-Aiden. Well, here goes…
“So, we’re finally finished filming. How do you think we’ll do at the box office?”
Turning in the direction of Aiden’s voice, I realize he’s talking to me. I've been avoiding him like the plague since talking to Camille and if he keeps looking at me like this I am going to most definitely have a change of heart.
"Um, Mr. Taylor. Hopefully, we’ll do well.”
"I think we're past the formal stage at this point, you can just call me Aiden."
"Okay, I guess that means you can call me Sharon." Jeez, how weak was that? This man is making me giddy! His eyes are so sexy and his lips… Stop it Sharon!
"So, are you headed back to your room?" Damn, I didn’t mean to say that. Clearing my throat, “I mean, are you flying out today or you sticking around for a few days to site see?"
"Actually, my flight leaves at 6pm today."
"Really?"
How awkward. Think of something to say Taylor. This is your specialty, talking innocent girls out of their panties. Why is she looking at me like this? Her eyes are so spellbinding. It’s like she’s looking right through me.
"Well, Mr. Taylor, I mean Aiden, it was nice talking to you. I better get going so that I can get some rest.”
“Would you like to grab a bite to eat before you turn in?"
Is this man asking me out for breakfast after being up practically all night? I’m not sure if I should be going anywhere with him and if the way he is looking at me is any indication, food is the last thing on his mind. He’s looking somewhat nervous, no doubt that I’m taking longer than usual to answer his request. What the hell. “Sure, I should probably eat before heading back to my room.”
“You had me nervous that you were going to decline my offer.” Did I just say that? And, she appears shocked that those words actually came out of my mouth as well. “Come, there’s a diner just around the corner in walking distance.”
Once they reached the diner, Aiden requested a table out of view from the window. Mainly so he wouldn’t be spotted by his desperate women. He finally gave into Amy’s persistent begging on yesterday and was now regretting it big time. The woman gave new meaning to the word freak. As a matter of fact, freak didn’t even begin to describe Amy. Looking at Sharon as she takes her seat, Aiden notices that she seems to be a bit uncomfortable by the way she keeps toying with her bottom lip. Watching her do that is such a turn on.
“So Sharon, tell me something about yourself that I don’t already know?”
Obviously surprised by my question, she sighs and begins to tell me that she’s 21, lives in New York, is the youngest of four and plans to open a day spa with her best friend, Camille, after she graduates from college with a degree in business management. How innocent. No, how boring!
“Where in New York do you live?”
Why does he want to know where I live? He is so sexy but seems so arrogant. And, he keeps looking from my lips to my breast. It’s making me feel so exposed. I’ve never felt exposed before. “Manhattan.”
The waitress finally arrives to take their order and Aiden is somewhat relieved because the table is completely silent. Why hasn’t she asked to know anything about me? Probably because the tabloids have done such a good job of answering all of her questions. Or, maybe she isn’t interested. No, definitely not. She is so interested. Now the waitress is back with our juice. Time to make my move…
“Are you dating anyone?”
Sharon has almost choked on her juice. “Why do you want to know?”
“Well, you’re a beautiful woman, Sharon. I can’t see you not having a man to take care of you.”
“Well Aiden, thank you for the compliment but I don’t need anyone to take care of me because I can take care of myself and whatever I can’t get for myself all I have to do is ask my dad.”
“Oh, I see. You’re a daddy’s girl, huh?” Did I just detect some attitude from her? Surely she’s not a stuck up snob. “Not all of your needs is your daddy able to take care of unless there’s some dysfunction in the family.” Finally, she smiles and seems to lose the layer of ice that’s been surrounding her. “So, back to my original question, are you dating anyone?”
“No Aiden, I’m not. I’m too busy to date.” Looking around the diner, I can’t believe this fool just insinuated that my dad and I might get kinky! I’ve got to be careful around him. “When are you leaving?”
“I plan to leave later today as well. I’m also headed to New York and you won’t believe this, but I don’t live too far from Manhattan.” Maybe you and I could hook up sometime once we get back home.”
Taking a sip of her juice, “yeah, maybe we can.”
The banter between them during breakfast ran rather smoothly with the exception of Aiden’s constant flirting and Sharon’s ability to purposely not notice. Once they completed their meal and Aiden paid, they were headed back to the hotel when out of nowhere, Amy appears. “Aiden, where have you been?” She is totally ignoring Sharon. “I went to your room to finish what we started on yesterday.”
If Aiden could have choked her, he would have. “Well, as you can see, Sharon and I, you do know Sharon don’t you? We are just getting back from breakfast.” Amy looks like she is about to throw a fit and Aiden recognizing the signs, grabs Sharon’s hand and heads for the nearest elevator which just happened to be opening. Once inside the elevator, Aiden presses the 6 on the elevator pad while taking a deep breath. If he thought he was going to score any points with Sharon, they were just ruined by Amy.
“Is that a friend of yours? She seemed a bit upset.” Camille was right. Man whore in full effect!
“No, I don’t consider her a friend. Now you, I’d like to consider a friend. What floor are you on?”
Sharon, not believing the audacity of this man, who obviously slept with that woman and then dismissed her like yesterday’s garbage, is acting like everything is kosher. “Aiden, I don’t need you to walk me to my room and I’m not sure if my friendship is the kind that you’re looking for. Enjoy your flight home.” And with that, she presses 5 on the elevator keypad and waits quietly until they reach her floor. Stepping off the elevator, she never looks back and heads straight for her room.
Chapter Four
What the fuck just happened? That damn Amy knew the score when I finally gave in to her ass. Shit! Now, I’m going to have to put in a little extra effort with Sharon. Her flight leaves at 6pm so it looks like I’m going to have to rearrange my schedule. Meaning, no Sasha at noon, damn!
Boarding the plane, Sharon makes her way to the first class section hoping that she doesn’t have to share space with anyone because she is completely exhausted. After this morning’s drama with Aiden, sleep was the last thing on her mind when she returned to her hotel room. Seeing that her row is empty, she takes the seat near the window. Settling in, she closes her eyes to relax.
