Excerpt
First Kiss
The sunlight sparkled like diamonds against the drops of water that beaded across Grant’s broad chest and raced along the cuts and dips between his washboard abs. His dark blue board shorts, soaked and clinging to his equally muscled thighs, hung low on his hips. A thin trail of golden curls raced between the hard lines of his narrow hips, disappearing beneath his waistband. Only a blind woman would miss the outline of his perfectly defined erection. Holy sin on a stick, he is packing.
His arms and legs moved with the grace of a jungle cat stalking its prey, the tight strands of muscles bunching and stretching beneath his skin with every step. His right hand was wrapped tight around the black grip of a pistol, the thick tendons in his wrist flexing as he tightened and loosened his grip. She followed the ripple of movement to his rounded shoulder, his neck, and then up to the chiseled lines of his face. Her lungs seized with feminine lust, mixed with a healthy dose of fear as she locked eyes with the lethal beast inside him. He’s going to kill me.
The fire in Grant’s eyes blazed with a heat as tangible as the sun’s rays beating relentlessly against her skin. She didn’t know the first thing about this man, other than the fact that he was dangerous and locked onto her like a fast moving freight train. He hadn’t hurt her yet, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t kill her. Still, she couldn’t make herself move or even look away. Something inside her was drawn to the beast residing within the man; to the absolute power and strength that wrecked her senses.
Paralyzed, she was powerless to resist as his hard, lean body crashed into hers, trapping her against his hot, wet skin. His hands tangled in her hair, his desperate grip holding her captive to his assault, his lips crushing against hers with frantic need.
Hi Toots! Thanks for inviting me over for a guest post during my Second Nature Book Tour! Another first for me! LOL You wanted to know few things about me and Second Nature that my fans may not know. Hmmm....Well, I work hard and play hard. I believe in earning my own way in life, and I married my neighbor! Haha Funny story there. I might just put it in a book one day *wink*.
Unknown things about Second Nature are a little more intriguing than me I think. For instance, did you know the first scene I pictured in my mind when embarking on this journey was the porn stash scene? Oh my gosh! I laugh every time I see Winston slapping his stomach standing over the pile of porn mags and can't believe I built this story around it. Haha. My hubs just shakes his head when I tell him this stuff! Let's see, something else. Oh! Grant is one scary dude! I had to delete a few grizzly scenes when he discovered Thalia had been abducted, for fear of making the readers hate him . He didn't care. Good guy, bad guy, anyone who got in his way was toast. And he's quite creative when making someone regret they were born. Haha. And on a fun note, Diver's name was originally Radar. I had initially intended for him and Rebecca to become an item but their chemistry was way off. Their first date inside my head didn't go well at all. Haha.
Thanks again to you and all my fans for loving and supporting Second Nature. And please remember, Human Trafficking is the fastest growing international crime and has no boundaries. If you see something, say something. Break the silence and give a voice to those who have none. Happy reading always! XoXoXoXo
