A Bite Of... Seanna Smythe

Edible Delights Vol 2 is nearly here.  So, over the next couple of weeks, I am going to bring you snippets and sneaks into the world of the Edible Delights... And the authors.

Today I'm joined by Seanna Smythe...


Thanks for bringing your characters along! Let’s delve into their relationships to see what we can learn about them.. 

Meet Aiden and Evie

How did you meet? 

E: We met one sizzling summer at the ice cream stand on Bondi Beach.
A: We did? I thought it was the Manly Fish and Chip shop?

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

E: A chocolate banana sundae I happened to be testing when Aidan walked in.
A: And my brother’s Bachelor Sundae…with a difference.


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

E: Stock up on banana and chocolate
A: *Grins wickedly* Really??

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

E: Strawberries, chocolate, honey and cream - sweet
ALet’s go home, honey <g>

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

E: Chocolate
A: Who needs Oysters? *winks*

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

E: Tuna – too smelly
A: You really don’t want me to answer that.

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

E: We’ve made a promise to try something the other one likes at least once.
AYes, and the dog is loving all the extra meals he’s getting <g>

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

E: We’re living one day at a time, to the max

A: Evie is the cream on my strawberries. I’d never be without her.


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

E: Pleasure  
A: My mother said I shouldn’t play with my food, so I proved her wrong.

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


E: Aidan’s chest
A:   Evie’s backside. Right, Sweet Cheeks?

Thanks for joining me on my blog.

EXCERPT
The woman with the fiery red hair tossed a look over towards Henry at the bar, then snuck a look at Ryan and back to Davis. She smiled—a shy smile through her lashes—and Ryan’s heart ramped up. He noticed the shorter brunette standing beside her when she said, “Next game, you’ve got the winner.”

“I hope so,” Davis replied, “I do truly hope so.”

Ryan shook his head and blew out a laugh. How did Davis always pull it off so easily with women? One woman, Ryan could handle just fine—more than fine. But a group of women, no way, it felt like a swarm of bees were attacking him to even be in a room with so many women, gorgeous or not. And gorgeous was only the beginning when he checked out the ass on the fiery red head as she bent down to consider her next shot. She turned quickly at the sound of his laugh and the slap of the high-five he exchanged with Davis.

Caught. Her eyes jumped to Ryan and he gave her a sly grin when she raised her eyebrows at him. Not as broad as Davis, Ryan met his height at an even six feet. All of his brothers took after their father in their height. But it was Davis who looked most like their father with his darker coloring and chocolate brown eyes. Ryan and Henry had their mother’s lighter skin tone and green eyes. It was those green eyes that locked onto hers when she turned around. Yep, she was looking at him—not lover boy Davis.

Ryan definitely liked what he saw. She was tall, with legs that went on forever until they met with the sweet crossing he knew could bring this boy to his knees. As she bent over the pool table for her next shot, her ass stuck up into the air and swayed just slightly as if teasing him to inspect it further. Her entire body called to him. Shit, he hoped Davis had his sights on any other woman in that group because in his mind, he’d already laid claims on this one. And he wasn’t prepared to share. It had been a long time since he had a little harmless fun.

“Like old times, Ry, seems to me this night might be just like old times,” Davis said, bumping his shoulder when he noticed Ryan’s stare. “Knock it off. Quit the staring. You’re going to scare them away before I make our move.”

“I got news for you, Davis. I got moves of my own. It’s been a long time since I’ve needed you to pick up women for me.”

“Interesting.Hear that, Henry? Ryan says he’s got game,” Davis teased.

“Can’t wait to see this,” Henry snorted as he sat down at the table. They’d made up back in the bunk house but Henry was still sore. He knew how to hold a grudge, damn little shit. But Ryan knew just how to take his mind off his troubles tonight.

Ryan licked his lips, considering how much more interesting the night just got. He certainly liked what he saw and he knew she liked what she saw by the way her eyes roamed from his head to his toes. Ryan was dressed in an old pair of jeans that were tighter than the usual suit pants he wore and a tight black t-shirt he’d pulled out of his old dresser. He didn’t feel like himself but it felt good. Actually, maybe he felt more like himself than he had in awhile—the Ryan before his business became his life.

When Henry poured the beer out, Ryan grabbed up two glasses and headed straight for his target. Her eyes were glazed a bit, definitely looking down and he gave a little cough to catch her attention. Busted—guess they were even now. She blushed and it was beautiful—her flushed cheeks brightened her eyes, mesmerizing. When she reached out to take her beer and their fingers brushed, her hand shot back and some beer sloshed over the glass. Her soft feminine fragrance mixed in with the faint scent of the beer touched his nose and he took in a deeper breath to savor it.

She cleared her throat, seeming as taken in private thought as he was. “Thanks,” she said, giving him an intense stare while a smirk spread across her face right up to her gorgeous blue eyes, “So, you like my ass?”

Ryan swallowed back his surprise. She was forward…this was going to be fun. “Sure do,” he grinned, “And I’m pretty sure you like what you see too.”

Her look of surprise was priceless.
