GUEST POST/ GIVEAWAY: The Possibilities of Amy by Jaye Frances



Thank you, Jodie, for having me back on Riverina Romantics today with my romance novella, The Possibilities of Amy.

There’s a lot going on in the minds of high school seniors. For most, it’s a balancing act—friendships, scholastics, parents, and social activities all clamoring for attention against a hormonally-charged backdrop that is best described as a raging preoccupation with sex.

Unfortunately, there are few primers on the subject, and as soon-to-be adults, most teens depend on their instincts and a few trusted friends for guidance, support, and encouragement—especially when it comes to dating, which for most, becomes the first step toward an inevitable loss of innocence.

When I look back on those years, I wonder if I really would have preferred to have had more experience, more maturity and the advantages of hindsight. Or if the reason the memories are so sweet is because they were spontaneous adventures, lived in the moment, without expectation or regret.

In the following excerpt, the main character, Dave, is on his first date with Amy, the girl he’s crazy about. They’re at the drive-in movie, and until now, Dave’s light flirtation and cautious moves have produced little response. But Amy’s about to take the lead . . .

Here’s an excerpt:




Suddenly she was pushing back, resisting.

“What’s the matter?”

“Let go for a second. I need to move.”

We were a clumsy tangle of arms and legs as she again turned to face the passenger side of the car. Leaning against me, she arched her body, lifting her bottom off the seat. With a quick tug, she popped the snap on her shorts.

“They’re cutting into me.” She shoved them down a little, just off her hips.

In the flickering light of the movie screen, I could see tiny flashes of her navel, and lower, the top of her pale blue bikinis.

I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, and how I had never been with anyone like her. But surely others—probably many others—had said the same thing, and I didn’t want her discounting my feelings because I was not the first.

Softly stroking her hair, I lifted the strands with my fingers and kissed her neck, tasting her skin as I slowly worked my way to her shoulder. “Okay?”

“Uh-huh.”

My hands fell lower, skirting the sides of her breasts. The smooth, unmistakable feeling of unfettered skin confirmed the absence of a bra, and I reveled in the soft, supple contours.

Without warning, her hands covered mine. I froze. But instead of pushing me away, she placed my fingers under the elastic rim of her blouse, inviting me to enjoy her firm flesh.

Taking her breasts with determined caution, I circled each nipple with light pressure, feeling them grow hard between my fingers. Even after being granted permission, I touched her like a precious sculpture, overwhelmed with the sensuality and unexpected intimacy of our connection.

She nuzzled against me and I brushed light kisses across her cheek until I heard her release a little half-moan, a sound that seemed to come from somewhere else.

I let her take over, guiding my hands where she wanted them—down her belly to skim the top of her panties with our combined fingertips. Her movements were sure and certain, and it surprised me. Without hesitation, and in a way that told me I had her complete consent, she directed my hands lower.

We approached it together. The area was not just moist, but soaked with the very essence of her. Slipping my fingers from hers, I pulled at the silky material, moving it as far to the side as it would go. The pungent aroma struck me without warning, filling the car, not mixing or blending with the scent of shampoo and perfume, but colliding with it, breaking through, overpowering everything.

Here’s a brief synopsis...

Amy is the ultimate trophy girl—gorgeous face, killer body, and a vivacious personality. But there’s something else about her, something that makes her even more special. Amy is new. A transfer student from out of state, she’s starting her senior year without knowing a soul. And that means she’s up for grabs, available.

Infatuated from the moment he sees her, David is determined to meet Amy, and if the fates are willing, to spend the rest of his life with her. But his shyness prevents him from approaching her—until his friends devise a contest to determine who will be the first to prove their manhood by seducing her.
