I believe the Italics work very well. I found the section nicely put together and all too alluring. I didn't see any thing to complain about. Well done.

Ooooh, hot stuff. This girl is quick and poor Steven is still trying to find his breath. I liked this, real cool and fast.
I'm sleeping on the edge of Namaqualand tonight. It's as hot as hell - so hold thumbs the heat lasts so the flowers are open when I get there. luv jada

I haven't read any other chapters, but this held my interest and made me want to read the next one. No errors jumped out at me, but I was caught up in the read [a good thing] so I wasn't looking too closely.

:-) Jackie

FYI:The italic in the second-to the-last paragrpah are in a different size font.

    Just be happy I had italic. This is my third novel I have posted here and the first time I got the italic in. I struggle with computers. Thank you for the review

The italics do work, and so does the chapter. Good job.
I left a few suggestions for you.

Leya watched from the corner of the room while Michael and Bob cared for Geoff. Tears rolled down her cheeks. "What happened? Will he be all right?" (I edited this a bit, see what you think)

Steven opened the door. Less than five-feet from him stood Leya wearing the matching red lace bra and thong set she'd held up at the mall. She turned a complete circle."Do you like what you see?" (edited this a bit)

(He needed to put an end to this seduction before he succumbed.) The sweet, floral, fragrance of Leya's perfume melted Steven's resistance. His body betrayed him as it automatically responded to her advances. When he felt her hesitate and step back, he opened his eyes and realized she'd felt his arousal. (I edited this a bit, placing one sentence in front of the others)

Another good chapter Barbara. Characters and dialogue are still consistent without any clutter. I'm looking forward to finding out what Leya is up to.

have a great day

    This lady has an agenda and Steven is part of it. Thank you for your review.

    Is she really a badey?
reply by the author on 01-Sep-2009
    No, but that's all I'll say. I want you to read more.
reply by Mariea on 01-Sep-2009
    Mean you. I'd read it anyway.
    Hugs Mia

I like how you had work every detail about the surrounds, and enjoyed a lot the erotic description of Leya's seduction of Steve.
Very good work!
:)

One point for you. You figured out how to use the italics function. Did you use the html code or advanced editor

Leya isn't going to make things easy for Steven is she? Will be interesting to see how the story progresses from here. Will he fall or flee?

One thing:
- Wearing the matching red lace bra and thong set she'd held up at the mall, she turned a complete circle.
I think this will be stronger if it is placed in the previous line. That is, before she asks if he likes what he sees.

    html key. Changing the order is in the works. Someone else pointed it out.

Yes, the italics work perfectly for Steven's thoughts, as did your very erotic description of Leya's seduction of him. I can't imagine his resisting at the beginning of the next chapter!

Wow, I walked in a firestorm this time. *sigh* um, ok. A couple of things are problematic here.

First (and I put this down to the fact that I just picked up the story but what is going on?). Who the heck is injured? What are said injuries? and what do they look like? I'm lost in a white room with little to nothing to go on besides that the fact that someone is injured--badly enough to cause concern, but with no details as to the nature of the injury (you may have covered this earlier in the story, but it doesn't hurt to reestablish context).

The second issue here is the time break (or rather what comes after the time break). I don't for the life of me (and as before I'm probably missing context) why this Steve character is at Leya's door? Is the social visit? Or he looking for information on something? You fill in the blank, but I certainly don't know and I cannot make the connect it and the previous section (again this may be just context, but...*shrug*)

The fact he walked in on her was partially dressed (or less so if I understand the situation correctly) did not sit well with me either, but that's my personal issue and not really related to the story. If were me in that situation I'd turn tail and bolt, but everyone reacts to situations differently so I won't spend anymore time on it.

Interesting chapter (or part of chapter I guess), but it needs more details and description to achieve coherence and flow. Right now, it's choppy and confusing, but I see potential in it. Keep at it ^.^

Yeah, he needs to high-tail it out of there right now. I seriously doubt that sex is the only thing she's after. She's starting to seem more like a plant. Nice chapter! :)
