Dueling feelings of nervousness and anticipation warred within Val’s
body as Nate parked his car alongside hers then came around to open her door
and help her out. She wasn’t accustomed to this kind of chivalry and it was keeping
her off-balance. It was especially unexpected in a man like Nate, and made it
harder to keep to her assumption he wasn’t a man she could have a future with.
He’s only in town for a little while. Cool your jets.
Nate didn’t let go of her hand and Val felt strange tugging it away. He
closed the car door behind her and gently pushed her against it, trapping her
between his car and himself. “I have to,” was all he said as his mouth
descended on hers. She couldn’t bite back a gasp of surprise, and Nate took
that opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth, exploring her with long,
deep strokes. Val’s entire body started to tingle and, despite her myriad
misgivings, she found herself pulling him closer and snaking her arms around
his neck.
Her senses went haywire with each touch of his fingertips to her face.
Leaning in more, he pushed his erection into her pelvis and Val let out an
involuntary moan. Nate licked at her mouth with his wicked tongue and she
couldn’t help but respond, opening her mouth farther to his advances. But when
he reached down to cup her bottom in his large hands, she finally had the
presence of mind to jerk away, gasping for desperately-needed oxygen.
About the Author
So who am I? I've been writing my whole life, but only decided to pursue
writing as a career in the past couple of years. I'm lucky to have an
incredibly supportive husband named Inspiration who brings home the bacon so I
can stay home and fry it (and eat it all before he's able to fight through the
rush hour traffic - I'm mean that way, but like I always say, don't get between
a woman and her bacon).
I live in Western New York with
Inspiration and our young daughter, Too Cute for Words. I'm a major hockey fan,
which explains why many of my heroes are hockey players. If you haven't looked at
the guys playing the sport today, search for some images. You won't be
disappointed.
I'm a member of the leading professional association for romance
novelists, Romance Writers of America, and also serve as president of my local
chapter. I've met so many interesting people through these organizations and
highly recommend them to any aspiring writer!
As you can see, my life is pretty busy, but I try to take as much time
as I can to write. And re-write. And re-write. It's a never-ending, vicious
circle, and I love it!
