Excerpt
It was not a gentle kiss. It was not tame or timid or questioning.
It burned her down to the root of Sam's soul. It touched something deep and dark and hidden.
Something she'd thought was long since dead and buried and gone.
Patrick’s tongue slid against hers, stroking to life the very sensations she thought she'd never feel again.
It
was electric, the feel of his mouth against hers. The scrape of stubble
against her chin, the taste of him. The smell of his skin.
He
nipped her. Pinched her bottom lip between his teeth and sucked it. And
she sighed at the pleasure, at the raw ache his taste and touch aroused
in her, pushing aside the darkness that haunted her.
Sam
felt him. Felt everything. The heat of his skin. The warmth that drew
her closer. That made her want to crawl into his lap and unzip his pants
and push up that damned flannel shirt until they were skin to skin and
there was nothing between them but sweat and heat.
One hand slid down her side. Tugged at her fleece and...
"Dear lord how many layers of clothing do you have on under this thing," he muttered against her lips.
She smiled. "You weren't wondering why I wasn't cold?"
"Well you'd be a champ at strip poker right about now," he murmured.
Then his fingers found her skin and she was no longer thinking.
