From Regina, Coffee Time Romance
“The sexual and emotional tension just ratchets up higher and higher...contemporary romance at its very best!”
Excerpt:
“You’re impossible!” She marched toward the table and started clearing it off.
Raif reached out, grabbed her by the elbow and turned her around to face him. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I don’t pussyfoot around. I say what’s on my mind. If I don’t like something, I’ll tell you.” He gave a half shrug. “On the other hand, if I like something, I’ll let you know.” He reached up and brushed his knuckles over the side of her jaw.
“Promise?” The one word was a husky sigh.
“Promise.” Raif fully intended to tell her he liked the way she looked this morning. Liked the little beauty mark at the right corner of her mouth. Liked the idea of kissing her senseless… Instead, he decided to show her.
He slid his hand around to the back of her head while lowering his. He could hear his heart hammering in his ears as he touched his lips to hers. She made a soft sound of surprise, but didn’t pull back. Slowly, she leaned into him. Raif moaned and pulled her closer. Her lips were firm and hesitant at first, but soon she was moving with him, their tongues sliding around one another.
Damn she felt good, and tasted even better. Her palms were on his hips, before slipping around to cup his ass. Raif thought his balls would explode.
The kiss deepened and he reached up, sliding a hand over her breast. She pressed closer to him as he pinched her nipple through her T-shirt and bra. It stood in a stiff peak and Raif yearned to nibble and suck on it. He skimmed his hand down her side then up and under her shirt.
Sarah’s mouth went wild on his. He felt her fingers buried in the curls at the back of his head, pressing his mouth closer to hers. Her other hand roamed over his back and under the waistband of his pajama pants. He’d known passion before, but the way this woman affected him was something different. And he was returning every ounce of that passion he felt in her.
Raif slid one hand down to her lower back, holding her close, while the other slipped down her rib cage and between her thighs. She was hot and damp. He planted kisses along the side of her neck and pressed his palm against her pussy. Sarah moaned in his ear.
“Oh, Sarah, I’ve got to have you.”
