Sunday Snippet: Hot Target

Whew! What a week.It's been something of a wild ride. My daughter starts graduate school inAthens the week of August 25, and we're still trying to figure out herfinancial aid. She's headed to Ontario Canada this week for a theater festival,which is what she'll be getting her master's degree in. My work inbox isoverflowing! I'm so grateful for all the new projects but also a little dauntedby how much I have stacked up and waiting for me to get to. My car also has anissue that we're hoping is not the computer. I'll know more on Monday. Ugh!

I didn't get muchdone on the viewing front. Too many things needed my focus elsewhere. Betweenthe phone calls for school and car problems, my brain turned to mush. Bleh.

I did get anepisode of Best in Paradise in. I enjoyed it again. It's fun to have theintroductions from the cast members.

I also got to watchthe closing episode of Death in Paradise season eight. A veryinteresting and twisty episode with a really cool gesture at the end from thecommissioner.

And I also finishedup the main draft of a holiday manuscript I've been working on for, geez,almost a year. The sages finally cooperated and threw a bunch of ideas out. I'mso happy about that.

That's pretty muchit for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Hot Target, anovella that puts a couple in the line of fire.

Here's theminiblurb:

Yates and Baylor work undercover for the mage council.They make a great team, but rarely see eye to eye. When their magical brethrenstart dropping like flies, one of them must become a hot target. Yates decideshe'll do it … Baylor's a better shot.

And a preview snippet…

Yates expected the face-first shoveagainst the wall when they got to their place. Baylor needed to work offsome aggression and he didn't mind rough sex. Her hands were all over him.She pulled his jacket down and spun him around then ripped his shirt open.She sucked on his skin, leavingmarks, branding him as hers. His head fell back, and he gave her fullrein. Welcomed the harsh breath and the sting of her teeth against his flesh.He didn't help when she struggled to get his jeans down past his hips. Hishands weren't free to assist anyway.Hissed air escaped between histeeth when her hot mouth surrounded his dick, and she engulfed hisshaft until she gagged. Easing back, her tongue swirled and flicked over thetip and down the length. She got up, yanked her shirt off, unclasped her bra,and shrugged it off, letting her breasts hang free. She pushedhim down a little and leaned in. He latched on to a pebbled tip,and her guttural moan sent more blood flowing to his cock.She worked her pants down and offthen nudged him down to a crouch on the floor. With his arms behind him,she had to do all the maneuvering. He braced his shoulders and liftedhis hips, offering his shaft to use however she wanted.Climbing over his thighs, she usedone hand to stroke over her folds. Wet and ready, she broughther fingers to his mouth, and he sucked them clean. Sliding over hiserection, she furiously rocked her hips, the heated silk of her essence surroundingevery inch.Her mouth covered his and hertongue delved between his teeth. The relentless embrace lasted until she neededair. He dragged gulps of air into his lungs and readied for more.Her lips grazed along hisjawline to his ear. "Make me come, Yates." She nipped at his lobe, ahot breath fanning along his skin.He thrust upward, nudging her backto trail open-mouthed kisses over her shoulder and down to her breast. Hesucked the skin beside her nipple, marking her, before his lips drew thetaut peak inside his mouth. He worried his teeth over the nub, biting gently.Baylor groaned low in herthroat. "Yeah, Yates. That's it." Her hands held his head anddirected it back and forth between her breasts. She bucked hard againsthim, a shudder tearing through her. "Gah, yes. Come with me,Yates." She arched her back, reaching down to fondle his balls.He tensed and came hard,gasping her name. Baylor hauled him close and helped him get his jacketoff. His fingers were numb, but the rest of his body thrummed with life.Her hands cupped his face."Thank you. I needed that." She brushed her lips over his.Yates rested his forehead on hers."Anytime." Any place. Any way.Without speaking, she untangledtheir limbs then offered him a hand up. She led the way to the shower andpulled him in with her. Yates wrapped his arms around her, letting thewater cascade over their bodies. Spent and sated, she'd finally beready to buckle down and talk facts.

This one is comingtogether in the best way. I'm very excited to see it completed!

 

That's it for thisweek.

Cheers!
