So I had a chance to speak with Naomi. The one and only Mystique from the novels In Between Lies and Intimate Illusions by Shawna Hill. I was thrilled to have her here and introduce you guys to her world and how she lives it. Pay attention to this woman she is on the rise as one of the most devious, sexy and very confident character.

Ms. Tiptress: Girl you are hot stuff. I absolutely love your attitude. And what you have between your legs makes men and women (including myself) sweat. You seem to have men falling all over you. I am not alone when I say women want to know your secrets.

What is your secret?

Naomi: Haha! Confidence… a must have if you are determined to get what you want. You also have to have a fearless attitude. I have both and a bomb body to match. Plus, I give men exactly what they ask for and then some to keep them coming back!

Ms. Tiptress: What happened between you and Kevin happened during college. Some may say this is just a crush. What made things different for you?

Naomi: Well, first off, it took me years to get where I am now. Since I was raised by a crack head mother that had multitudes of men, there were always issues. I had to fight just about every one of them off of me and she was no help to me at all. I used to be the shy, introverted type and that wasn’t working for me. But dealing with her and her nasty men, I learned to fight and fend for myself early off. I was also a little on the plump side and my self esteem was low. But my change really came when I landed Kevin. He showed me attention and didn’t act like the fiends that I’d fought off before… and I actually liked him.  He was awesome in my eyes, and a man that I could grow with …he taught me things sexually that I never knew or fathomed.. When I found out just how valuable what I carried between my legs was, it was only then that I understood.

Ms. Tiptress: When you ran into him later, what made you think that you still had it like that with him?

Naomi: Kevin and I had some unfinished business whether he knew it or not. So when I found that I had an opportunity to see him again, this time as the new and improved me…I knew he wasn’t going to be able to resist. I remembered what he liked and how he liked it and I capitalized on it big time. So, I didn’t think I had it going on and had a chance with him, I knew it and was going to make him realize it and know it just the same.

Ms. Tiptress: Savannah was an innocent bystander. How come you went to those extreme limits to ruin her?

Naomi: It was never my intention to ruin her. Well, maybe it was. I knew that he wanted her and I couldn’t have that.. so I did what was necessary to get my man. I did want to know what it was about her that he liked and take it one step further. I slightly befriended her to get closer and get the scoop on her.. and then took what I knew and used it to my advantage. I had him wrapped around my finger and going for a good minute. You have to remember, I always get what I want. It’s not over until I say so. I refused to have history repeat itself and let her stop me from what I was destined to have…

Ms. Tiptress: You lucked out and found a man that was willing to give you everything. Two might I add.

Jace seems to be a man with a confident attitude to match yours with the money in the bank.

What were his missing qualities?

Naomi: He simply was not Kevin. Kevin was the one that got away.  I guess I like to go after what I want, and Jace pursued me. It wasn’t what I wanted at the time, he just filled space, opportunity, and needs.

Ms. Tiptress: What did Kevin have that made you obsessive that were so different from Jace?

Naomi: Again, Kevin was a missed opportunity before, and I longed to have that back with him and only him. We’d had happy times before and he was the highlight of my life. I wanted to have that elated feeling again.

Ms. Tiptress: And even Richard, he was ready and willing.

What were Richard’s faults?

Naomi: Richard was a nice guy but he was nosey and pushed a little too much … All of the men involved were mere pawns and Kevin was my crack.

Ms. Tiptress: With everything that you have put everyone through do you at all regret any of your decisions?

Naomi: Yes, actually, I do feel a little remorse, but that will pass. Looking back at the whole thing, I finally got what lost long ago..the love and the need to be needed and wanted. I will have that with this child. He/she will mean a new beginning for me and Kevin, if he chooses to be a part. He will know that the lost child was reconceived.

Ms. Tiptress: You are one very confident person, and a go getter. Those are qualities that every woman should possess.

Do you agree?

Naomi: Yes I do. Every woman should feel free enough and confident enough to get what she desires. No one can love you better than you. You are only going to get what you want when you are confident in your abilities.

Ms. Tiptress: Can those same qualities cause someone to lose control of one-self?

Naomi: To a certain extent, maybe. I guess you can say that it can make a person obsessive. In relationships, money, acquiring items, etc.. what your heart desires, it desires and will find a way to get what it wants if you want it bad enough. So yes, you can lose sight of reality and have moments of madness, especially when it comes to love… that feeling is a very powerful aphrodisiac.

Ms. Tiptress: Do you believe you lost control?

Naomi: Maybe a little,  to a certain extent yes, but I have to admit that it didn’t happen just because. I was pushed to the extremes  that I went through.  As Mystique, her persona allowed me to lose myself in an alternate world. I went way outside of myself and fulfilled some pent up desires, emotions and feelings that I’d wanted to long before I became her.  I was whoever I wanted to be and at the same time became whomever the men wanted me to be. It was quite liberating actually.

Ms. Tiptress: The wedding scene was the most memorable scene ever. That was revenge at the max. To show up like that, some woman would not have the heart.

What if that happened to you?

Naomi: Baby, that wouldn’t happen to me. Simply put, I would have had my man so satisfied that he wouldn’t have to look any further and he would be too tired to even try.

Ms. Tiptress: Was it worth it?

Naomi: The end result, yes. I wanted Kevin to understand the pain he’d put me through and wanted him to feel how it felt. I wanted to send him a message that he cannot have his cake and eat it too and continually get away with it without experiencing ramifications. Yes, he was the brunt of everything, but he was the start of it too. If he hadn’t left me the way he did, maybe things could have turned out differently. Maybe I would have looked at him differently. He was callous, cold, harsh and unfeeling. I just returned the favor and gave his a dose of his own medicine. Now that I have accomplished what I started out to do, I’m somewhat satisfied.

Ms. Tiptress: Ok, I know you may not be able to answer this but it’s a question I just have to ask…

Whose baby is it anyway?

Naomi: We will just have to wait and see. All I can say right now is that its mine.

It was wonderful speaking with you Naomi. Thank you for giving PassionReads your side of the story.
