“Before, in the police van, what were you
going to say?”
“What do you mean?”
“About next week. You said Thursday and
Friday and were about to suggest something other than just painting the hall.”
A bubble of pleasure popped in her stomach. She hoped with all her heart he was
going to suggest something sexy and sweaty. Something that would take her to a
wild and sumptuous plane of ecstasy once again.
“Ah, that.” He nodded slowly and threw an
infuriatingly smug grin her way.
“Nate.” She squeezed his arm. “Tell me.”
He laughed again. “I was just going to
suggest that we take on the challenge of another spicy task.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, tonight has been fun. Let’s try a
hot chili one and see where that gets us.”
“Hopefully not arrested.”
“No, but love on the move has certainly
been an adventure.” He pressed his hand over hers. “And I’m looking forward to
lots more, though hopefully not ones that risk me getting a criminal record.”
“But perhaps if we get a role-play one,
you’d like to be a cop.”
“I’ll remember that.” He grinned sinfully
and swept his tongue over his lips. “Oh yes, I will definitely remember that.”
A lovely feeling of warmth settled in
Kimberly chest. Not chili heat, just the sort of warm embrace that comes from
being with that one special person, having committed to them and wanting and
needing no one else to feel complete. Of having found that one person you can
truly work, rest and play with.
Lily Harlem is a multi-published, award
winning author of contemporary erotic romance. She lives in the UK with her
husband and a bunch of animals, all rescued, and loves to spend her days
immersed in imagination.
Her books are a mixture of full length
novels and short stories, some are one offs, some are sequels or part of a
series (all can be enjoyed as stand-alone reads). What they each have in common
are colourful characters travelling on everyone’s favourite journey — falling
in love. If the story isn’t deliciously romantic and down and dirty sexy, it
won’t be written, at least not by Lily. So with the bedroom door left well and
truly open you are warned to hang on for a steamy, sensual ride - or rides as
the case might be!
