“Me get used to it?” He retorted with every bit as much passion, emotion and loudness, pointing his index finger at her just inches from her face. “You’re the one that better get used to my love for you. I would rather cut off my hands than do anything that would sever our marriage. You are stuck with me for better or for worse till death to us apart, you got that?”

Tiana’s only response was to reach out and gently but firmly bite his way too close to her face index finger.

“You bit me.” Derek protested, now a little calmer.

“You’re not filing for divorce?”

“Hell no. I was trying to file the evidence on the data chip you gave me to begin the process of clearing my name, but the tin can here,” he said gesturing at the Legal-Bot, “tells me I’m in the wrong department. Apparently this is Relational Dissasociations. I need to go next door.”

“Oh. That’s a relief.” Tiana, a blush tinging her cheeks, took a deep, steadying, breath.

Looking up at Derek all anger was gone from his eyes. The only fire that remained there was that of love and lust. Without as much as a second thought, Tiana grabbed on to Derek’s shoulders and jumped up on him, wrapping her legs around his waist and planted another planet-shattering kiss on him.

The kiss went from fast, furious and passionate to soft, gentle and cherishing. Slowly Tiana began hearing a faraway sound that got closer and closer as her fear and anger dissolved in the sea of Derek’s love. Breaking the kiss she realized that they had drawn a crowd that was now on their feet applauding them.

The Legal-Bot appeared to be beside itself not knowing what to do.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hart, you simply may not have conjugal relations in a government building hallway. There is a hotel across the street. May I recommend you go get a room?”

“Is kissing inside government buildings against the law?” Derek asked, trying not to laugh.

The Legal-Bot became real quiet. It was probably searching every legal database across the galaxy for a law or legal precedent on kissing inside government buildings.

Hmm. Kissing. Government buildings. A thought she’d had earlier returned to her.

“Derek,” Tiana whispered, nipping at his earlobe. “What do you think about elevator sex?”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! I am Nikki Sinclaire, an avid romance reader and author of Science Fiction Romance Novels. To me, there is something so powerful about captivating the mind, engaging the emotions and stimulating the imagination, all through the written word. My goal is to create worlds and characters, through my writing, so absorbing, that they will entrance the mind’s eye and enchant the reader’s heart. This is my passion; this is what I strive to share with all my readers.

My works contain, first and foremost, ROMANCE! The love and passion of my main characters is wrapped in action, conspiracy and intrigue, all flavored with a healthy dose of humor, and ... oh yeah ... did I mention steamy, fantasy-fulfilling, super-nova generating sex?

Just a year ago I was leading a quiet existence, minding my own business, when these characters started escaping out of my brain demanding that I write their stories. I tried to explain to them that I am an Information Technology professional and that math, not language arts ruled my life, but they would not listen, stubborn little suckers that they were! My heroes and heroines (featured in my five novel “Virtual” series) were very persuasive and with my family’s encouragement, I began writing their stories. I was flabbergasted! Facing danger and destruction while navigating the rough waters of relationships my characters exist with a zeal and passion for living which sparked a renewed enthusiasm and ardor in my own life!

My heroes and heroines are all sassy, have attitudes, and are temperamental, flawed, or wounded. Each has a distinct personality, often highlighted by humor in the most "way out there" kinds of ways. Let's face it; they are outright ornery and eccentric, in other words, REAL PEOPLE!

Statistically most readers of romance novels are women. While I don’t expect this fact to change overnight, I write my books not only to appeal to the traditional female reader, but with the added goal that the "male of the species" will be as equally captivated by genuine delight in the Romance genre. Share a copy with your own significant other, they may surprise you.

On the personal side, I have been married for 23 years to my best friend in the whole wide world. We consider our life our very own “romance novel” and the inspiration for everything I write. We are the proud parents of two lean, mean, sex-life-obliteration machines … err … I mean … two wonderful boys ages 19 and 11. Yes, testosterone does overflow in our household! We make our home in “the good state of Georgia”, where I am privileged to work as Research Faculty at a major university where I actually get paid to play with a wide variety of high tech toys. It's almost as much fun as writing. Almost…

Enjoy! I do love to hear from my readers, so please contact me at:
