Naked. Cuffed. Caged. Is this the sweet senator's daughter I left behind?
I didn't know it was her when I rushed into that room filled with flames, but I'll never let her go again.
She's proposed a unique way to thank me. It could bring us both to the edge of ecstasy—or to the point of no return.
Clara wants to submit. To me. Totally. Damn any limits. The very thought of it has brought me back from the dead.
But a stranger is watching from the shadows. He's made us his fantasy. And he plays rougher than I do. Where he's taking us now is somewhere so dark, and so dangerous, that this time it could be inescapable.
In our home, the holidays are all about family, about coming together to
celebrate our blessings and have fun. We’re a global bunch and people travel
from all over to gather at our house. There’s lots of laughter and an excess of
delicious foods. But the star of the evening is my mother’s sangria.
Ingredients:
·
1 bottle of your favorite red wine
·
2 oranges
·
2 apples
·
1 lemon
·
1 tablespoon of sugar
·
1/2 a liter of Sprite or Seven Up
Preparation:
Begin with a bottle of wine. I prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon, but you can
choose your favorite red. Hint: The wine doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive,
just full-bodied and delicious.
Next, slice oranges into thin wheels and cut up a couple of tart apples
into small, square pieces. I use a red and a green apple to add variety to the
flavors. Set the oranges aside and marinate the apples in a half a cup of wine.
You can prepare the fruit early and keep it fresh and cold in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to serve, pour the reminder of the wine into your
favorite festive pitcher and add two cups of cold Sprite or Seven Up. Hint: You
can adjust the alcohol level by playing with the wine to fizz ratio. Testing
this ratio is half the fun. J
Add a half tablespoon of sugar and mix well. Taste. Add more sugar if you
like your cocktails sweet. Reduce the sugar amount by half if you’re like me
and prefer less sweetness in your sangria.
Add orange slices and marinated apples. Add a few squirts of fresh lemon.
Serve over ice if you like your cocktails fizzy and cold like I do. Make sure
everyone gets apples and oranges in their glass. Garnish with orange wheels.
