Excerpt:
The door opened and Adam stepped inside, drenched, his dark hair a mass of shiny ringlets.
Mara hopped off the bed and into his arms.
“It’s pouring.” He squeezed her and kissed the top of her head. “There's a thunderstorm coming.”
“I love thunderstorms.”
“Do you?”
“Don’t you think they’re romantic?”
He brushed his thumb across her lips. “That depends on who I’m with.” He glanced down to the floor and smiled. “You have such small feet.”
“I’m five foot three, what do you expect?”
“They’re so cute.”
She glanced down at her bare feet and curled her toes into the carpet. She’d never considered her feet to be a point of attraction. To her, they were short and stubby. Even the grape colored nail polish did little for them.
“I have to take a shower before the storm starts.”
“Don’t bother.” Mara grasped his T-shirt and tugged him toward the bed.
He laughed. “Turning wild on me?”
“You bet.”
Though her strength didn’t affect him, he allowed her to push him onto the bed. She grasped the bottom of his shirt, dragged it over his head, and tossed it aside. Adam reached for the light and turned it off, bathing the room in blackness, except for an occasional streak of lightning.
Straddling his waist, she ran her hands over the massive expanse of his hot, damp chest. Lowering her mouth to his, she murmured, “I haven’t felt this good in so long. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” He lifted his head slightly and kissed her. Mara’s hands slid over his shoulders and behind his neck, supporting it as their lips caressed and their tongues stroked each other.
Outside thunder rumbled and the wind wailed.
“Umm,” Mara purred, allowing him to remove her tank top.
Wrapping his arms around her, he trapped her body against his. He emanated heat from running, his muscles like steel beneath velvety flesh textured by hair in all the right places. She’d expected him to feel rough somehow, yet his regenerative nature made his skin feel soft and new.
She wondered why vampires were so often compared to wolves. Adam reminded her of a big, sleek cat. Smooth, lean, flexible and powerful.
“Touch me,” she whispered, her heart pounding at the potential risks of her request. Risks with another man, not with Adam. “I’m tired of being afraid.”
“I’m glad you’re not afraid of me.”
“I probably should be, but I’m not.” She lifted her face slightly to stare into his dark blue eyes. His gentle expression warmed her entire body. Was she falling in love? Could she be, after such a short time?
“You don’t ever have to be afraid of me.”
“I know.” Placing her hands over his, she guided them to her
breasts. He cupped the globes, his thumbs flicking over her nipples through the
flimsy fabric of her bra. She closed her eyes while his touch left a warm trail
across her abdomen and up her back. Their legs entangled as she stretched out
on top of him. Deft fingers unhooked her bra. She sat up enough that he could
slide it off and toss it aside.
