I was over on goodreads the other day and one of the reviews, Maldivian’s,  and there’s a tag…against the wall smexing…

It tickled me and I still grin about it. Because I’m tickled… I’m posting the beginning of that scene. Just the beginning, though.  If you want the whole thing, you’ll have to get the book. Be warned.  I use a couple of bad words.

“Stare all you want.”  She slid her hand higher, toyed with the neck of his T-shirt.  “I want to know what you look like…can I?”

“You can do anything you want.”

If anybody had told him that having a woman touch his face could be that damned erotic, Ezra would have laughed.

That was until Lena Riddle put her hands on him, tracing the line of his lips with her fingertips, doing the same with his jawline, along his cheekbones, feathering across his eyes and nose.

She took her time with her tactile exploration of his face, combing her fingers through his hair, even tracing his ears with her fingertips.

Every single touch, every single stroke, seemed to arrow straight down his spine, striking him square in the balls.

Damn it, he hurt.  His cock was rigid, painfully hard and he was ready to do damn near anything if it would get her to wrap those soft, cool fingers around him. He was all but shuddering with the need to touch her, taste her.

By the time she finished and lowered her hands to his shoulders, Ezra was strung tight and hovering on the edge of his control.

“What color are your eyes?”

“Green.”  His voice was hoarse, tight.  Hell, he was so damned turned on, it was a miracle he could even speak.  Reaching up, he caught her glasses and tugged them off, setting them on the small table just inside the doorway.  “I want to see your eyes.”

She averted her gaze but he reached out, caught her chin in his hand and tugged until she was once more facing him.  “You’ve got the prettiest damn eyes,” he said, staring into the pale blue.  He closed the scant inches between them and angled her chin upward.  “I want to kiss you…if that’s a problem, then do me a favor and just tell me no, right now.”

A grin flirted with her lips and she swayed closer. “Not a problem. Not at all. Unless of course you plan on deciding in a few hours you’re not sure you really want to try this thing out, after all.”

Ezra nuzzled her mouth.  “Hmmm.  Not going to be an issue, although I think it’s time I apologized.  I’m sorry about that.  Seriously.  Could we maybe rewind and just start over? Try it again?”

“No…no do overs.”  She raked his lower lip with her teeth.  “I get why you pulled back.  It makes sense.  Just make sure you really want to go forward before we…do whatever.”

“I’m sure.  Damnation, I can’t get you out of my head, Lena.  You’re everywhere.”
