Excerpt:
“I’ve never compared
you to your father,” she whispered.
“I’ve never even met your father, but I know you, Hank, and I like what
I’ve found out about you.” Her eyes
locked with his as she slid across the bed to within a hair’s breadth of him.
“You smell faintly
of lilac,” he muttered.
Kathryn ran her
hand through her hair, releasing the lilac fragrance into the air. “That’s the shampoo I used on my hair. Do you like it?”
“Uh huh. I like that clingy little robe too. I’m trying not to stare, but those curves of
yours are getting to me.”
Kathryn’s heart took off in a mad gallop. “I tried not to think of those kisses we shared
at the party, but I thought of them anyway.”
“Me too.”
Oh, glory be! Look how his eyes were smoldering. “They made my stomach feel fluttery,” she
breathed.
“My knees got
weak.”
A demure little
smile curved Kathryn’s lips as she melted against him. “So, kiss me again, and let’s see what
happens.”
Hank’s eyes closed
as he gently kissed her. “Well?”
“My stomach got
fluttery again,” Kathryn sighed.
Hank gently tucked
a lock of hair behind her ear. “My knees
might be weak, but I can’t tell because I’m lying down.”
Kathryn
frowned. “Oh, I don’t like that. If you don’t know for sure I must be doing
something wrong. Let’s try that kiss
again.”
Hank seemed
agreeable. He took her in his arms, but
this time he kissed her the way a man kisses his true love, as if she was his
greatest treasure in the world. Kathryn shivered
against his chest as fire raced through her veins. “How are you knees?”
“Weak as water.”
“You haven’t seen
anything yet.”
“So, show me,” he
retorted, and she did.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry. Blue 52 is one of favorites. I'm afraid if they take it they may want to cut some of it. It's a long one.
