She looked around; they were on the tallest building for miles, surrounded by nothing but glowing city lights in the darkness. She mustered her courage, took a step back, and reached behind to unzip her dress. “Yes,” he breathed, his hands reaching to pull her close. “I’m aching for you. I need you, now.” He answered her pleas, quickly, pulling her body against his and covering her mouth with his. Her mind became a foggy mess of need and want; she could hardly concentrate on anything except the feeling of him against her. She was a ball of electric nerves; every place he touched her drove her crazy. Lexi wasn’t like this; she was never confident in her body or her sexuality. Austin had awoken something in her, a sultry vixen that had been trapped deep inside her for far too long. less

Charlotte kissed him. It was a soft, goodnight kiss, like the ones she’d given him a million times before as they laid in bed trying to fall asleep. She started to pull back, but Lincoln caught her chin and drew her back towards him. He nibbled her bottom lip, coaxing her lips apart, pleading for her to give him just a little bit more. He buried one hand in her hair, the other reaching for her waist. She moaned softly in response, her body melting against him. Lincoln was ecstatic. Now that he had her in his arms, he didn’t think he could let go. He wanted to get her clothes off and bury his face against her skin. He wanted to whisper that he loved her and never wanted to let her go again. He wanted so much more. “Okay,” she pulled away, sitting back down. “Good night.” She grabbed her purse and dashed out of the car. less

This is an explicit romance novella intended for audiences 18+ Only You is book four in the Falling for You series and details the relationship of Lydia and Everett. “Ev, you know I’ve never had a boyfriend. I wouldn’t date someone and not introduce him to you.” “You know what I mean,” he followed up. He reached for the bottle of whiskey and refilled his glass, then motioned to her. “I’ll take another glass, and I don’t know what you mean.” “Not necessarily a boyfriend, but a gentleman who’s had the privilege of spending the night in bed with you.” “Oh, good Lord,” she laughed. “I’m afraid Mr. Darcy hasn’t been over for a sleepover either.” She laughed. “Nor has Mr. Bingley, and worst yet, Mr. Wickham hasn’t even tried to ruin me.” “No sleepovers?” he pressed. “You don’t like sharing a bed?” “It’s not that. There just haven’t been any offers that have piqued my interest,” she continued, her eyes flicking away from his. They sat in silence a few moments, Everett’s brow furrowed. “Are you telling me something big right now?” he finally said. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, yes, I am a virgin. I have never had sex or shared a bed with anyone. Well, except you. The bed-sharing thing, not sex. Obviously. I hope you would remember if we had sex.” “I would,” he interjected. Lydia blushed and turned back to her drink and emptied it. “Do you want another drink?” “Yes, please.” She thrust her glass in his direction. He chuckled and filled it. “Why are you laughing?” Her voice was shaky. “Oh, not at you. I’m just thinking of all the poor blokes through the years. Either they missed a chance to sweep you off your feet, or they were left heartbroken in your wake.” “I promise, it hasn’t been that dramatic. Sure, there have been a few dates here and there that could have gone further than they did, but look at me: do I really look like the girl guys take upstairs?” She shrugged. “I’m looking at a hot blonde with big green eyes and great cleavage.” He spat out before he could think better of it. “Please don’t tell anyone,” she said, her eyes wide. “Seriously, no one else knows.” “First of all, I don’t know who I would tell. Secondly, I will take it to the grave. Thirdly, tell me you have kissed someone before, or I’m going to kiss you right now so you can check that off your list, romantic or not.” “I have,” she said, and then added with a smirk, “you’re not going to sleep with me right now so I can check that off my list?” Oh, he wanted to. Everett had ten years’ worth of passion for Lydia built up and begging to be let out. “I wouldn’t take that sort of liberty. You’ve waited this long and should probably make a whole big thing of it when it does happen. And I’m afraid I’m too drunk to be anything other than a lousy lover right now.” “Well that wouldn’t do." less
