Excerpt
Oh, no. Not happening again. No way. We’re
friends, best buds, and he’s supposed to court Julia, that’s what his mother
wants him to do. I can’t. I want to. No, this is crazy.
My mouth touches his soft lips and I close
my eyes, the better to pretend it’s not happening. Mmmm … He tilts my head
gently to angle in closer as his other hand caresses the small of my back.
He doesn’t smush my mouth against his, but
gently tugs my lower lip. I settle into his kiss. It’s lazy, easy-going, not
demanding, friendly. Only, his fingers curling into my hair isn’t mild, no, and
neither are the tiny moans he makes at the back of his throat, or the spear
rising hard against my belly. Yikes! What am I doing?
We’re lying on a sandy trail in a nature
preserve near dusk. Coyotes could be lurking in the sage bushes, and mountain
lions prowling the dry riverbeds. Oh, but his lips taste spicy, and oh, so
enticing. A slow burn roils between my legs. He’s so freaking sexy for being a
chef. But I didn’t sign up to be his kissing partner. I mean, I could use the
practice. I seriously suck at kissing. Oops, my teeth just bumped his. That’s
what I get for biting my lips when I should be sucking, or smacking, or
nibbling, or whatever it is professional kissers do.
