Licensed For Love (Short Story)
shed — a lantern, a sleeping bag for
two, and two chocolate bars for a midnight snack — I overheard Ben
on the phone, canceling his hunting date with the guys.
    I couldn’t wait to find out from the other
wives what his excuse had been.
    But in the mean time, I added my own gear to
our campsite — my well-worn, illustrated copy of the Kama Sutra, as
well as much more than just oil for our lantern. Think love potions
and lotions with their very own feather duster applicators.
    When Ben appeared in the doorway of our
bedroom, I could tell by the sparkle in his eyes that he was more
than enjoying my efforts.
    Wearing the puffy, metallic bulls-eye I’d
painted onto one of my nightshirts, I handed him another tag
entitling him to the only doe he was going to get this weekend,
then kissed him on the cheek.
    “So my limit has been raised?” He asked,
while pulling me close to his hard body and wrapping his arms
tightly around me. “You’re amazing. And I’ll never forget
that.”
    “That’s my plan.”
    He kissed the side of my neck and whispered
in my ear, “I’ll never think of my favorite field sport in quite
the same way.”
    Until I’d gamely reminded him, I’d feared
he’d forgotten his favorite sport was me.
    “Wait ‘til you turn out the lights,” I said,
hardly able to stand it until the glow-in-the-dark, puffy paint
lit-up the bulls-eyes on my nightshirt.
    “You’re not gonna off me are you?” Ben asked
while feeling out his targets.

    “Depends on your definition of getting
someone off.”
    Not many people knew I was more than a
retired sex therapist and aphrodisiac produce queen. I was also a
Mom Squad Member whose specialty happened to be that of a Bond Girl
femme fatale.
    “That said, I do have a few new techniques
I’d like to explore. Let’s just call it research,” I teased.
    “Oh boy,” Ben said, and laughed.
    As the last bulls-eye lit-up on my
nightshirt, I giggled. I had a feeling this wasn’t the kind of bush
Ben thought he’d be in this weekend.

Note from D. D. Scott
     
    Welcome to my next D. D. Scott-ville
Adventure…
     
    The Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem Mysteries
     
    What are The Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem
Mysteries?
    Here’s the scoop…
    I had a ball writing The Bootscootin’ Books
and just couldn’t stand parting with all my quirky-crazy
characters. So…I brought ’em all along for my Cozy Cash Mysteries
plus added-to my ensemble casts and zany crews.
    In the mean time, I had sooo many of you
requesting new stories, featuring my Bootscootin’ Books and Cozy
Cash Mysteries’ Mom Squad Characters, that I decided I’d treat
y’all to short stories too!
    Each Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem Mystery (short
story) will feature at least one of The Mom Squad quirky-crazy,
blue-haired Charlie’s Angels wanna-be’s!
    You’ll get to meet their extended families
PLUS learn the unique skill each Mom Squad Member has been
trained-to by The Cozy Cash Mysteries’ QuarterMaster R.
     
    FLUID FULFILLMENT — Mom Squad
Mini-Mayhem Mystery #1 -features Roxy’s mom Lily Vaughn, who some
say is now fairly gifted in Jujitsu.
     
    LICENSED FOR LOVE — Mom Squad
Mini-Mayhem Mystery #2 — features Jules’ Aunt Tulip, who rumor has
it, is now not just a sex therapist, but also a femme fatale.
     
    What else is new in D. D. Scott-ville?
    Thanks also to the request of all my superfab
D. D. Scott-ville readers and fans, I’m bringing you a D. D. Scott
Special Edition Ebook Boxed Set in November 2011.
    If you’re like me, when my peeps tell me
about a new author, I want to read all the books by that author in
order. That way, I never miss a thing about any of the characters
and their lives between the pages.
    With that in mind, I created the D. D. Scott
Special Edition Ebook Boxed Set.
    Now, you can one-click-buy my entire backlist
and know the exact order in which to read the books — as that’s the
order you’ll find them as you read through the Boxed
