Snippet Saturday – Love Scenes

I've pulled a snippet from Midnight Playground that pretty much sets the scene for what to expect in this book. But be warned. I aim to tease you today.

Snippet:

Chase lowered his camera, and Murphy froze next to him.

"What did you say?" Surprised and intrigued by her outburst, he set down his camera on the small worktable stationed next to the floodlight. Suddenly the need to touch her overwhelmed him as he watched her stand up straight and raise her chin with a new found courage.

"Please, for once let me feel what it's like to not have to be in control. To not have to stress over every detail. To be someone else, even if it's just one day. Please, Chase, I need this."

He ignored the barely there moan that sounded from Murphy to study the woman in front of him. Her eyes shone with unshed tears that clearly took everything she had to contain. Apparently their receptionist had more layers than even he'd thought. However, without full knowledge there were a variety of things that could go wrong. Her inability to share the trauma that disrupted her life should have had him escorting her out of his studio. Yet, he knew he wouldn't.

Without turning from Eve, Chase spoke to Murphy. "Get the chair."

"As for you." He lowered his voice and moved close. "I hope you understand what you're asking for. This goes beyond a few pictures." He curved around her side and stood behind her. He was close enough to feel her body heat without touching her. The contrast of the black lace of her undergarments against her creamy flesh pleased the eye of the photographer, but the man wanted to rip the offending coverings away.

He opted for a compromise since they had plenty of time to explore. "The camera doesn't lie, and I have no problem taking you as far as I need to in order to expose the woman underneath. But first, tell me you want this." Chase unclasped the hooks that held her bra in place and allowed it to drop to the floor. The sexy hitch in her breathing pleased him immensely, even more so when she didn't object. Pale, freckled skin beckoned him. Her ample breasts would more than fill his hands, but it was the taut, jutting nipples that informed him how much more she needed.

"I want this."

Without the camera acting as a barrier between them, he couldn't resist touching her. His hands spanned a good portion of her waist—soft, delicate skin he longed to see abraded by rope. Rich amber hair floated down her back with a scent of lavender and some spice he couldn't name. But the color drew him like a flame. Every sexual thought he'd had since she'd arrived had something to do with the hue of her hair.

Sinful, decadent thoughts that always led to her begging for more while he captured every expression on film. Reluctantly, he withdrew when Murphy arrived with the black oak chair and rope he'd already laid out. A gentle push on her shoulder was all it took for her to bend her knees and take a cautious seat.

"Sit back and try to relax. You're going to be in this position for a while." Chase let Murphy get to work while he retrieved some new lenses. As much as he wanted to photograph her, he also wanted to fuck her. Or better yet, photograph her while she sucked him off. His cock twitched in his pants on that one. Yeah, he hoped the little minx had it in her, because he planned to stress some of her limits before the day was over.

"Ready," Murphy called from behind him.

Chase turned and nearly swallowed his tongue at the sight in front of him. Murphy and his Cheshire-smug grin stared back at him.

"Pretty, isn't she?"

"'Pretty' doesn't do her justice."
