HOT EXCERPT:

Sunlight touched Lexie’s eyes, a gentle caress urging her to awaken. She didn’t want to. With a sigh, she settled into the mattress, willing herself back to sleep and into the wonderful dream she’d been having. At the sound of soft breathing and the whisper of warm air caressing her neck, she jerked her eyes open. She lay very still, listening. She was spooned against warm flesh, taut and muscular. A very masculine arm, covered by fine dark hair, draped over her waist. This was no dream. The events of the past night played in her mind like her favorite CSI episode. Her attempted kidnapping. Dominic and her abductor fighting. The hospital. Dominic in her bed.

Dominic.

She was in bed with Dominic. Anxiety stirred her stomach, competing with the tingling in other parts. His even breathing told her he still slept. She slid slowly toward the edge of the bed. He tightened his arm around her waist. “Where do you think you’re going?” his raspy voice whispered in her ear.

“I, uh, I thought I should get up now.”

“Not yet.” He pulled her closer. His erection pressed against her buttocks. From the feel of him, he was very ready for her. Fire seemed to flow through her veins.

“It’s early.” He brushed her hair aside and nipped her earlobe. “We have lots of time.” He trailed little kisses along the back of her neck.

Molten heat liquefied her insides. Her body felt boneless. “Time for what?” She barely recognized her own husky voice.

“For whatever you want.”
