I will leave you with a kissing excerpt from my contemporary romance NA/Adult. A Need so Insatiable, set for release in winter 2013. This is unedited version. 


“Are you going to kiss me?” I ask. 

His hungry-eyed gaze collides with me. Shakes his head. Nods. Runs a trembling hand through his hair, and pulls away. “I promised not to.”

“I didn’t,” I say, tossing the scissors on the counter. I take a step toward him and circle my arms around his neck, sinking my fingers into his half-cut hair. 

His eyes widen, then lifts his eyebrow. Once again I want to slap the look off his face. And kiss him at the same time. 

One side of his mouth curls up. “Now that you have me. What are you going to do with me?”

“This.” I hitch on my toes and nip his earlobe. “And this.” I tug his bottom lip with my teeth.

He groans, and suddenly I’m on his lap. His hands are on my face, my back, my hair as though he’s trying to memorize every part of me in one go. He drops his head in the crook of my neck, pressing his lips on the vein throbbing there. God, his lips! Warm against my heated skin as they trace along my jaw eagerly, by the time they brush mine, my breath is stuck in my throat in anticipation. He traces his tongue along the seam of mine, and I open for him. I’m powerless not to. He murmurs “F**k the promise” then swoops in, his fingers gripping my hips tighter. One hand moves to cup my neck firmly, and I am his.

We look forward to reading the scenes! :)
