My Sexy Saturday :: Friends to Lovers Edition

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. My new novella, When It’s Right, releases in just two and a half weeks!

As a sneak preview, my entry for this week’s My Sexy Saturday is seven (short) paragraphs from the moment when my hero and heroine, Nate and Cassie, finally slip from being the best of friends to being a whole lot more.

His hips grazed hers, his arousal clear, and her body felt like it was giving off sparks. But just as quickly as he’d started kissing her, he stopped. Her eyes flew open as he pulled lips and hips away, his face flushed and breath heaving. With one hand tangling in the scruff at the back of his neck, she tried to pull him back down, but he held firm.

“Cassie…” There was a pleading to his tone, like he was asking her for something. Or like he didn’t even know what he wanted.

“Don’t overthink this.” When he still refused to budge, she lifted herself up to put her lips to his throat, making him shake.

He laughed, but the sound was dry. “How can I not? It’s you, Cass. You.”

“Do you not want to…?” It hurt to even ask, and she froze with her mouth open at his pulse point, her abdomen twisting as she braced herself.

“Fuck.” He moved one hand from the mattress to her hip, his thumb sneaking above her waistband. It was so warm. “I do. But…”

She shook her head. “Then let it happen.” She closed her lips on the salty flesh where his shoulder met his neck and sucked, feeling his answering moan as a blooming heat between her legs. “Let it happen.”

When It’s Right is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through the Samhain store.
