B FOR BEDPOST
by Lena Hart



“Hmm…” She closed her eyes briefly, enjoying the pleasure of his warm lips against her neck. “You know dancing with you gets me all wet.”

His arms tightened around her and his eyes turned a stormy gray. “Oh, yeah?”

“Yeah…” she murmured, staring down at his lips, trying to hold back a laugh. “You sweat a lot.”

He burst out laughing then pinched her butt, his bright eyes gleaming mischievously. “Well, I can’t help it, when you use all your best moves.”

She gave him what she hoped was a seductive smile and ran her fingers through his hair. “How about I show you what I learned the other night?”

Leaning down, she kissed the tip of his nose, enjoying the growing anticipation of feeling his lips against hers. Though she was eager for him, she continued her teasing and lightly brushed her lips across the edge of his mouth. She held her breath as she slowly brought her lips down to fully taste him...♥

HIGHLAND SCANDAL
by Mageela Troche
Secret Cravings Publishing


“I did not flee. I was doing the proper thing,” he said, sending her hair dancing across her cheek. “You make it hard for me to be an honorable man.”

“Then why are you here now?”

He groaned. The rumble shook through her. “I can’t stay away from you. I love you, and while I can still have you in my life, I plan to steal every bit of time. I shall deal with the heartbreak of losing you forever another time.”

The blood roared through her head. Her vision blurred as she dizzied from his confession. She nuzzled her cheek against his chest. She had to touch him. She rested her hand on his bare thigh. His muscles tightened under her palm. His swirl of dark hairs brushed her palm. She twisted toward him as much she could without toppling off the horse. He clung to her waist and dragged her against him. She claimed his mouth.

The raw, hungry kiss was not chaste. Their tongues melded. He tasted of water and of something that she loved. She buried her hands in his hair. Thankful for his hold, she melded against him. Her breast pressed flat against his firm chest. Any renitence vanished with his words, though it was easy for her to do. Lachlan was the man she loved and to be this close to him, to have her love returned only to reject it—nay, she lacked the willpower.

AT THE MOGUL’S COMMAND
by Anna DePalo



“What’s this about, Cole?”

“Dinner. What else?” He looked bemusedly at the woman who had bedeviled his nights and days. She was in some kind of geometric-print wrap dress that left no curve untouched. My God, the woman was set on torturing him.

“I mean the subtext.”

He raised his gaze to her eyes. “Subtext? You were always a stellar student in English.”

“And you spent your time in the last row, goofing around.”

“Charlotte Brontë wasn’t my thing.”

“She was about the only female who wasn’t.”

“She was dead.”

“Don’t let that stop you.”

He grinned. “That’s what I discovered I liked about you, Danieli. You serve it up straight. Back then, and now.”

“I’m a teacher. It’s a survival skill.”

“I liked you better than you think, you know.”

“Well, that’s something, I suppose. Right up there with being someone’s sixth favorite teacher.” ♥

WARRIOR’S DAWN (Fire & Tears 3)
by Isabo Kelly


Althir’s hands came up to cup her face, and he angled his head just a little to better fuse their mouths but still without pushing for anything deeper. Mina’s heartbeat tripped against her rib cage as his scent wrapped around her in the darkness, a warm, rich blanket against the chill in the air. Everything about Althir was warm and rich. His taste, the feel of his bare palms against her cheeks, the firm press of his mouth.

The very brief flick of his tongue against her lower lip startled a gasp from her, not because she was surprised but because the sensation sent a shock of need roaring through her. She heard his faint groan, felt his fingers flex gently against her cheeks, and she opened her mouth to him, taking the kiss further than he’d gone, tangling her tongue with his as she tasted him fully.♥

THE BULL RIDER AND 
THE BABY
by Jeanine McAdam

“Don’t look at me like that,” Caleb begged. “I want you so badly.” He lifted her hand and studied her fingers. “But you are so small and I’m so big.” He sighed, “If you weren’t pregnant, maybe. But I don’t know how I’m going to do it with the baby taking up so much real estate.”

“You can,” Carrie whispered much more confidently. He wanted her. It was just a matter of physics and she had studied that. Carrie took a deep breath. “This morning,” she began. Boy oh boy, this was embarrassing but maybe it was worth it. Plenty of people looked at pictures. “I looked up sexual positions for pregnant women on the Internet.” ♥

THE DRESSMAKER’S DUKE
by Jess Russell
 

Olivia touched her mouth where his lips had been, finding where her teeth had cut into the inner flesh, and welcomed the sting. His kiss was certainly not that of a consummate lover, far from it. It was elemental and raw, almost sloppy, teeth and lips banging and bruising. But, oh, what he lacked in finesse he more than made up with…want. Like a starving child who had suddenly been given heavenly bread and treacle. The kiss had been that of a starved man. It made her both want to cry and to fill him till he was bursting, to give him that which he so craved. What he desired. Herself. And if she were honest, what she desired as well. She would never willingly be his mistress, never be his on contractual terms. Being bought and paid for was loathsome but to be with him, to fill him….♥

50 SHADES OF SEXY: AN OPTIMIST'S GUIDE TO LOVE'S DESTRUCTION by Briana MacPerry

AN OPTIMIST'S GUIDE TO LOVE'S DESTRUCTION
by Briana MacPerry


I grasp the hem of his shirt. "Take it off."

"Take it off me."

Starting at the collar, my fingers open one button. Two buttons. Three buttons. Four—

"C'mon Grandma, it’s a bodice ripper." 

Finally, the hideous plaid opens, revealing a white, short-sleeved tee underneath. "How many shirts are you wearing?"

He smirks, wagging his puppy-dog eyebrows at me. "Count them."

I hook a finger around his collar. The fabric is thick and resistant. I take a closer look… "Three undershirts?"

"I don't share these nipples with just anyone." He removes the top layer. "Still interested?"

"Yes."

"Whew." He sheds the next layer. "How about now?"

"Now, I'm thinking you're horribly burned."

"If only I were that interesting."

"Last layer, buddy."

"Can we ever truly shed all our layers?"

"I'm strictly interested in the prudish nipples."

He peels off the final undershirt, revealing a tank top with black lettering. It reads, "Leave me alone, I'm having a crisis."

I flop back on the mattress, laughing. 

He stretches the hem, making the words easier to read. "How many arbitrary points do I get?"

"Take that off and I'll tell you."

He removes the tank; revealing a perfectly average physique—not too flabby, not too lean, but strong enough to pillow a girl's head,  if ever needed. But not tonight, of course. In the future. The way distant future. The way, way, waaaaayyy—

"How many?"

"That bought you thirty minutes of cuddling."

"When?"

Ugh! How does he do this to me? I cover my smiling face with my hands. "Tonight."

"Ooooo. Next time, I'll wear snow pants."♥

TO CATCH A FLAME
by Mercedes E. Cruz

 

Frank grabbed Wendy by the waist pulling her back into the house and closing the front door and leaning her against the door as he gently pushed his tongue in her mouth, one hand caressing her face. Wendy was in disbelief and fully loving the moment. She slipped one hand on his chest and the other on the bulge in his front pocket. Frank grabbed both her hands, as he stepped back “Wendy, I want this more than you know. I just want to make sure that we’re on the same page.”
 
Wendy closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breathe, “What makes you think, I don’t want this just as much?”
 
“Enough said” he replied and quickly lifted her off her feet, taking her up the stairs. Wendy giggled like a school girl, she knew she was in for more trouble than she had expected but still she wanted it, she wanted it all.
 
Frank laid Wendy on the bed, then straddled her, he took off his famous white two button collared shirt, which he made look like a million dollars. As he pulled the shirt over his head he revealed his hairy muscular chest. Wendy licked her lips from top to bottom as she admired the view. She reached out to his chest caressing it again with both her hands. Frank proceeded to take off his clothing, unbuckling his pants belt and slowly unzipping his jeans, he gently got off the bed, dropping his jeans to the floor revealing his boxer briefs. Wendy sat up on the bed, “I’m next” she said putting her hands up in the air.♥

DOING LONDON
by Chloe Blaque


“I never would have imagined,” Marco said, his voice like silk. He licked his lips and put one knee on the bed, “that you would like to be tied. But I am your humble servant. Whatever you want, I can give you.”  His emphasis on “give you” came out like a growl and my nipples pressed hard against the boning in my bustier.

“Actually, “I said, snaking my body up towards his.  “I was thinking you would be tied.” He blinked and his body jerked slightly, but from my vantage point, I could see the swell of his erection under his denim jeans.  Slowly, with my gaze on his, my hand touched the rise, seeking permission. When he didn’t move, I closed my palm over him, and watched his lips part.  “Seems like you might be into it.”♥

DOVES, LOVE IN LOS ANGELES (Book 2)
by Racheline Maltese and Erin McRae


Paul marks him everywhere, with mouth and nails, sucking and pinching. He bats Alex's hands away over and over again, wanting to watch what he does to him. The bruises bloom -- red to white to the first flush of purple -- and he refuses to let Alex pleasure him until he is wrung out and just gone. It makes Paul smug to have Alex distant-present with desire. In these moments he could make Alex do anything, and that matters in the worlds of what they do.

Alex is so fair, and so easy and eager to certain types of pain. That Paul gets to keep something of the history of those moments -- it's amazing. But he keeps wondering when he's going to finally hit Alex's wall and find a *no*. He keeps wondering how bad of a conversation that's going to be.♥

by Jean Joachim


“Even better.” Carla licked her lips. “I’ll bet she has no idea you’re having sexual fantasies about her.”

“I’m not. It was an accident,” he hissed.

“Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that. Wonder what she’d think if she knew?”

“Don’t, Carla. Please don’t. I’m begging you.” Griff reached for her arm, but she shook him off.

Buddy faced the quarterback. “What the hell did you do?”

“You don’t wanna know.”

“Oh no. You didn’t?” His eyebrows rose.

Griff nodded. “Guilty.”

“Whoa, stand back, Tony. There’s gonna be some fireworks in a minute.” Buddy pushed Hastings to the wall.

“You wouldn’t be lying, now, would ya?” Carla asked, directing her stare at Buddy.

“See for yourself.” He gestured to the brunette at the corner table.

“Lauren!” Carla cupped her hands and yelled.

Lauren stood up, turning to face them.

“You Lauren?”

“Please, please, Carla. I’m sorry, so sorry,” Griff whispered. “Don’t do this.”♥

A NIGHTCLUB ENCOUNTER

by Maria Cox

 


The scent of her perfume reached his nostrils. Lord, it was heady and intoxicating. “Please, stop,” he said, pushing away.


Becca held onto him. “You don’t really want me to stop,” she said, batting her eyes, beautifully long dark lashes fanning her cheek. “Do you?”

Her sultry voice echoed in his ear, the tone low and throaty, and arousing. Leave. Walk away, now! This is self-preservation, Jaden told himself, pure and simple.

Soft lips skimmed his earlobe. “I want you,” she whispered.

Their bodies were now flush against each other, her breasts tight on his chest, thighs rubbing together. Becca inched to his height, brushed her lips against his then pried his mouth open, her tongue plunging in with desperation.

His heart jumped to his throat, the act nearly cutting off his air supply. Lord, her mouth was wet, needy, hungry. In less time than Jaden imagined, he reached over and grabbed Becca at the base of her neck, his fingers entangled in her long hair. ♥
