Excerpt
I choke on my cappuccino and start coughing uncontrollably.
He stands up and comes back with a bottle of water. He
hands me the water as I’m getting my bearings back. “Is it that
shocking that I’d ask you to dinner?”
I’m a little dumbstruck. “Um, well, I
just, I…”
He sits down next to me, places the bottle of
water he just gave me on the table and takes my hands in his.
“Cassidy, I know you felt it all those months ago. I felt
it too and I still do. A day hasn’t passed that you haven’t crossed
my mind. There’s something here,” he motions between our bodies.
I’m looking at our hands and it’s there; the
electricity. I look up at him and a shudder has me rolling my
shoulders, my heart starts racing and I clench my thighs together trying to
subdue the throb between them. Before I can say a word he’s leaning
in and tucking a loose piece of hair behind my ear. He cups my face
and gently touches my lips with his
own.
How many times have I fantasized about this
very moment? A million, at least. I accept his kiss knowing
that if Cecily finds out I’ll probably get canned. Both of his hands
are on my face now. His lips are gentle and feel better than I ever
dreamed. I mold my lips to his and inhale his sweet breath.
His tongue gently runs across my upper lip. I slide closer
to him and place my hands on his lapels. Our tongues begin a torrid
dance that has my entire body standing at attention. It’s a kiss I’ll
never forget and one I never want to end.
I work my hands up his neck and to the tie
holding his hair and can’t resist removing it. I’ve been dying to run
my hands through his hair since that first night I saw him. He
encourages me with a groan and starts kissing my jaw and works his way back to
my ear.
“James…we should stop,” but my actions betray
my words as I drag his mouth back to mine.
“Shut up, Cassidy.”
Before I know it he pulls me into his lap.
I’m not sure how he managed it. His hand is on my hip and I
can feel his erection straining against my thigh. I feel my own hair
fall from its tie, and he’s tugging on it gently. It feels wonderful
and I’m moaning into his mouth. I’m barely aware of my phone ringing.
I slowly pull my face away from his. “Shit. I
have to get that.”
“Cassidy, let it
ring.”
“It could be Cecily,” I plead as I try to slide
off his lap. I echo his groan of disapproval. I remain on
his lap and strain to grab my phone. I look at the number and I don’t
recognize it. I send it to voicemail. “I don’t know the
number. If it’s important they’ll leave a message.”
I toss the phone down on the couch beside us.
I feel his arms tighten around me. I need to get closer to
him so I reposition myself. I straddle his lap as his mouth assaults
mine. I help him out of his jacket as he starts fumbling with the
buttons on my blouse. He rolls his hips and hits my core just right
and my stomach drops. I moan into his mouth and pull his shirt out of
his pants.
“You like that,” he whispers in my mouth as he
continues rolling and grinding his hips into me. I’m clinging to him
now and sucking his ear. “You’re making me wild
Cassidy.”
“Oh God, I’ve dreamed of this, of you for so
long.”
“Fucking hell, I’m so sorry.” We’ve
been caught in the act.
Red-handed.
I jump off his lap and he’s up almost as quick
and is shielding me with his body. I peek around his shoulder and see
Lena and a security guard standing in the doorway.
I’m a stay-at-home mom with four young children and
one extremely supportive husband. We’ve been married for nine years
and reside in Highland, Michigan.
I've dreamed of writing romance novels since I was
little. After having baby #4, who may or may not have been fathered by
Christian Grey, I decided it was time to pursue my
dreams.
When I'm not volunteering at the schools of my
children, running to various appointments, enjoying time with my friends and my
book club, dating my husband, or avoiding cleaning my house, I'm writing!
I love music and believe that books and music can't
exist without the other. My goal is for you to read more than a good
book, but for you to have an experience!
