Thirteen Lines from Carnal Compromise

Since Carnal Compromise was recently released (and spent 10 whole days at #1 on Samhain's bestseller list!), I thought I'd give you more of a sneak peek by posting thirteen of my favorite lines.



1. She wouldn't have the least idea what to do if guys like them took her up on the unconscious offer in her eyes, and he'd just as soon it stayed that way.



2. But if he voiced that opinion in the wrong place, to the wrong person, he'd have the ACLU, the IRS, the SPCA, NASA and every other alphabet soup organization under the sun up his ass—assuming he still had an ass after Mandy and Brenda were through with him.



3. More than once since she'd moved in with them, she'd woken having an orgasm and lain there in horrified stillness until Joe's snores reassured her that she hadn't cried out.



4. Those two were just like the steers she used to work on her daddy's farm, young and stupid enough to hump just about anything, whether it moved or not.



5. But the fantasy of him rushing to her side, yanking the dildo out, and drawling "Here, baby, let me show you how a real live man fucks" right before he jumped her was just too delicious to resist.



6. He knew damn well Brent wasn't any more in love with AJ than he was, but it was nice not to be the only one with his nuts in a knot over her for a change.



7. It was a sad day when both the people he wanted to fuck would rather get themselves off.



8. It wasn't hard to spot AJ in a booth near the front—her silky white-blonde hair stood out like a beacon in the sea of comb-overs and seed caps.



9. Not to mention that locking the door would feel like she was making a formal announcement: Do not disturb—masturbation in progress.



10. Without breaking eye contact, Brent unlocked his knees and sank slowly to the carpet, making it clear every inch of the way that this was his decision to yield, his desire rather than Joe's strength or Joe's will that was taking them into these uncharted waters.



11. "What you are is the first woman who's ever made me wonder what your tongue tastes like, and how your breasts feel, and if your hair is as soft as it looks, and how you smell when you're excited."



12. When Brent and Joe shuffled in behind Hake and the three of them stood there together looking like an underwear ad, she screamed with merriment, rolling over and holding her sides.



13. Lowering her head, she engaged him in a lush, sprawling celebration of kiss, letting him know with every press of her lips, every slide of her tongue, and every thick, thuddy beat of her heart how very much she appreciated him.



Bonus: And suddenly she wanted to claim that look, to own it and never give it up. Now she knew how Superman must feel having to take off his tights, put on his nerd glasses, and hide who he really was from the world most of the time.



So what do you think? Does this whet your appetite for smut and/or humor? :D
