A Bite of ... Imogene Nix

Edible Delights Vol 2 is nearly here.  In this, the last bite of series for Edible Delights 2, I wanted to introduce you to my characters...



Thanks to my lovely characters who have agreed to pop in today! Let’s delve into their relationships to see what we can learn about them.. 

Meet Deanna and JD

How did you meet? 

D: JD was sent to check out the chocolate manufacturing business I run.
J: Lol. I saw this beauteous creature and when she fell into my arms *laughs loudly*
D: Oh you. You'll never let me live that down will you?
J: Never.

What was the food item that caused your story to happen... And how did it play an integral role in binding your relationship? 

D: The ultimate aphrodisiac...
J: Chocolate.

Given that each couple in Edible Delights is a Happy Ever After, what will you do to celebrate your foodie anniversaries? 

J: Well you know... I have to give in to my nature.
D: But a gentleman - even if he is a Pleasure Demon - never tells.
Deanna winks at JD who settles back in his seat.

If I looked in your fridge right now, what would I find... and how does that describe your relationship? 

D: Creme Brulee, Champagne, Chocolate
J:  All the foods of love. 
D: And coffee. Real coffee! Otherwise we'd have to order out. 
Deanna smiled at JD who caresses her hand intimately.

Champagne, chocolate and oysters... the food of love. Which one would you share with your lover? 

D: Chocolate
J: Anything my lovely lady wishes.

The one food you refuse to have in your house is... and why. 

D: Asparagus. I just can't get into it.
JD laughs at loud while Deanna blushes.
A: Mushrooms. There's just something about those button tops.
Deanna's blush deepens.

As a couple, compromise is big... what food type things have you had to compromise on? How have you dealt with it? 

D: For us, it's space. I have to have space to remember what I was and what I've lost.
J:  And I've had to overcome my more dominating side to let her have that. The compromise is to let her continue running the plant on a day to day basis while I focus more on the marketing and high level aspects.

What does your future hold, do you think, for you as a couple? 

D: Hopefully a long time. And maybe...
J: Yes. Maybe we too will be blessed.

Do you see eating as a source of pleasure or a necessity to live?

D: Pleasure  
J: It brought me Deanna. It must be pleasure

What makes the best 'plate' to serve food – when not using a plate? 


D: Oh I really can't
Deanna looks away again, but a light sparkles in JD's eyes.
J: Like Deanna says. A gentleman never tells.

Thanks for joining me today.

The Chocolate Affair:

Deanna has one love. The Scheherazade Chocolate Factory. When it’s bought out by an off world consortium, they send someone to inspect their purchase.
JD Ruan is their expert investigator. But JD has a secret. He’s a demon. And not just any kind of demon –a Pleasure Demon.
Secrets, abilities and hidden truths will find their way… especially when chocolate is involved.
Excerpt:
His first view of Deanna McCalchy had taken in the glorious lush curves and midnight hair as she shook it free of the ugly confining hat she wore. Her blue dress molded to her body while the heat of instant arousal suffused him.
Now here stood a true goddess. The thought took him by surprise. He hadn’t thought in those terms for over a hundred years.
His small exclamation of interest had taken her by surprise and she had slipped. He moved with his preternatural speed extending his hands and catching her before she hit the floor.
As one of the two owners of Rustafan, he kept a low profile. He didn’t want his father’s minions to know where he and his sister, Entara, were. They had taken on Christabel as their media spokesperson well before she’d become Entara’s lover. This afforded them a gratefully accepted anonymity.
It was a habit to hide his personal life from others. Right now, he embraced the freedom that afforded him to scan the woman in his arms, feel the weight of her body.
She watched him silently while he righted her.
“Hello, what have I found here? A pleasure princess from Piero?” Knowing that the business mainly transacted with the pleasure planets, the words slipped out. He cringed as soon as he heard them. But she didn’t take offense at his words—at least not vocally, though a red tide crept over her cheeks.
“I don’t know who you are. But this is a restricted zone.” Her soft words of censure made him smile even as she gazed into his eyes. She was off balance, all the better for him to find out how the factory worked and maybe about her too. He shook himself mentally. That wasn’t why he was here.
“That’s okay, I’m supposed to be here.”
“And why are you supposed to be here?” Her words betrayed her interest, but he detected no knowledge of him in her mind and let the tension release from his muscles.
“I’ve been sent here to assess Scheherazade.” He held out one of his hands, and as she clasped it he felt a jolt of recognition, leaving him breathless for just a second. “I’m JD Ruan.”
“Oh heavens.” Her face pinked slightly again and he grinned, though he worked to contain his amusement at her old-fashioned comment.
