Saturday Snippet
For Author's Choice this week, I thought I'd feature a snippet from my latest release, Slam Dunk. This book is part of the Black & White Collection. Books in this series don't need to be read in order as they are all unconnected, standalone stories. However, Slam Dunk is the sequel to Happy Hour, but apart from the same characters, once again, the story stands by itself. 
Snippet:
When Derek leaned down and tried to kiss Ellie, Trey felt the cable snap. For the first time in his life, jealousy snaked through his body and he started toward the dance floor. He pulled up short when he saw Ellie break away from Derek, whispering something in his friend's ear. Derek headed back to the table, while Ellie took off in the direction of the ladies' room.
He debated which direction to go and then he followed her. She'd just entered the small restroom when he pushed the door open, walking in after her.
"What the hell—" she started.
He cut off the rest of her complaint with his lips. He turned and pushed her back against the door as he claimed her mouth. He'd wanted this for too long. Pure instinct drove his actions as he allowed his brain to shut down. He was tired of thinking and analyzing and worrying about how to proceed with Ellie.
Raising his hand, he flipped the lock. It wasn't until he'd secured them inside that he realized she wasn't fighting him. She'd raised her arms, wrapping her hands around his neck. She was kissing him back. Seriously kissing him. Her fingers caressed the back of his neck and Trey moved closer, wanting more. Needing more.
If he hadn't been so into her sweet kisses, he'd have been grinning his ass off. For several moments, he let himself fall into the pleasure of simply holding her. He licked her lower lip before pushing his tongue inside to taste the slight tang of the tequila and lime. She returned the touch.
"Ellie," he whispered, but she stopped him from saying more, pulling him tighter, keeping his lips pressed to hers.
Finally, they parted, staring at each other and breathing heavily.
"I don't like you dancing with Lisa," she said.
Her words tweaked something inside him. She wouldn't go out with him, but he wasn't allowed to dance with anyone else? For a second, his brain failed to process the fact he didn't want to dance with Lisa. "Tough shit. I don't want you kissing Derek."
She narrowed her eyes. "I can kiss anyone I want. I don't belong to you."
"Like hell," he growled, kissing her once more.
Ellie's fingers gripped the front of his shirt tightly as she roughly pulled him closer. He knew what was driving his hungry motions. It was jealousy, pure and simple. It appeared Ellie shared the sentiment. She raised her leg and wrapped it around his waist. He took the cue. Gripping her ass, he lifted her so that she could raise both legs. The position pushed her skirt higher and made it easy for him to press his denim-covered cock against her pussy.
Trey reconsidered his previous assumption. It wasn't jealousy driving this moment. It was desire.
He pushed against her as they kissed, the temperature in the small room rising until Trey decided it wasn't enough.
"Put your legs down," he said as he sucked on her lower lip. She followed his command and he lifted her skirt. Shoving her damp panties to one side, he thrust a finger into her dripping cunt.
Ellie jerked at the strong touch before her head fell back against the door.
Her hips met each reentry of his finger. He gritted his teeth and struggled not to come in his pants. She was hot and wet and her inner muscles clenched against his finger.
And she was tight. Holy fuck. He felt lightheaded as he realized just how good she'd feel gloved around his cock.
"God," she cried out when he added another finger to the dance. Her fingers dug into his arms as she rode his thrusts. She was a firecracker poised to detonate.
He leaned down and kissed her once more. He wanted to taste her screams as she came. He wasn't disappointed. After a few more thrusts, he rubbed her clit with his thumb and she exploded. He continued to kiss her as he gentled his motions, relishing her slight tremors as she came down from her climax.
The scent of her arousal surrounded them. Trey pulled his fingers from her quivering pussy and lifted them to his lips. She watched through heavy-lidded eyes as he licked her juices from his digits.
She moistened her lips and he couldn't resist stealing one more heated kiss. He could already see the wheels in her brain whirling. It wouldn't be long before her common sense returned and she pushed him away.
He gave her a quick, hot kiss that promised there were more to be had. If only she would ask.
Slam Dunk is available at Samhain, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
