Man-candy: the type of men who make your mouth water
You know the kind I'm talking about. Those magazine photos, website goodies and oh-my-God pictures. Granted, it is all looks. The internet is a veritable sampler of man-candy. Pick a flavor and it is there. Its an indulgence for your brain, a trip down an erotic, voyeuristic lane. Most are beautiful, some are provocative, others may be raunchy. Whatever your pleasure level is, there is a man-candy picture out there for you.
It's a risk-free excuse to let your imagination have a treat with no danger of crossing any boundaries. Married, in a relationship or single, you can look your fill. Men have done it for ages. Even ancient civilizations have paintings or graffiti of beautiful women on their walls. Women are just making up for those long centuries of having to cover up that we too enjoy looking at the opposite sex.
In SWEET AS SIN, Livvy starts out looking but not touching. You know that changes but hey, it was sweet while it lasted!
Livvy caught herself staring and yanked her gaze away. Man-candy, he was just man-candy. Nothing she could sink her teeth into.
Well, she could. But it would all be empty calories. Calories she didn't need. Not to mention cavities.
Livvy succumbs to the lure, the temptation of John and oh my, how sweet is it? As SWEET AS SIN.
Excerpt:
With a flick of her thumb, she popped the plastic top and the thick scent of buttercream wafted upward. His nostrils flared but his eyes never left her face. "Smells sweet."
"It is. It's Italian buttercream frosting, so it stays very…smooth and soft. The sugar is heated so it's like silk on your tongue as it melts."
John barely glanced at the pastry. "Buttercream. Silk that melts on your tongue. I like the sound of that."
"You'll like the taste, too. The heating means it's very sturdy but it tastes very delicate."
He lifted his hand and drew his knuckles down the curve of her cheek. Her breath caught.
"Sounds… sinful." Livvy inched closer and tilted her head. "Want a bite?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Devil's Food or French Vanilla?" The words meant nothing. She was offering him so much more.
"Devil's Food, of course." He accepted her offer with a whisper.
His pupils dilated and his tongue skated across his lip. The cake was heaped with a frothy swirl of frosting in snowy white. Slowly, she licked half the frosting off the mini. She held it in her mouth and stepped to him. The sugary cream slipped from her tongue to his.
Drenched in sweetness, his mouth caressed hers. Long after the frosting had melted away, she pulled back and brought the cupcake to her lips. John's breath deepened as she held half the mini dessert in her mouth. Gripping his neck, she yanked his lips back to hers. A wolfish grin appeared just before he took the dark cake and her kiss in one greedy motion. The shared bite melted with their heat and dissolved with their hunger.
A stray trace of chocolate speckled his lip and Livvy brushed her finger against it. He captured her fingertip, drawing it inside his mouth for a wet caress. A throb began between her legs.
"Your turn."

Pastry chef Livvy knows that giving in to the temptation that is John Murphy won't lead to anything permanent, but she deserves a passionate summer fling.
