Excerpt - First Kiss:
Madison kept her head down. He
lifted her chin with his forefinger and looked into her eyes. She had read
about those moments when time stopped, when life froze and turned upside-down.
Now was one of those moments.
Despite the cold and the snow,
the air she breathed felt warm and sticky. The heat in her lungs soon burned
her chest and radiated throughout her body.
She had to get closer to him, to
bridge the foot-wide gap separating them. But he leaned toward her, lowering
his head one inch at a time. His lips brushed hers, he withdrew, then he bent
and kissed her again.
His mouth softened and massaged
hers, fireworks exploding in her consciousness and sending shivers along her
spine, extending to the tips of her breasts.
Rupert lifted her like a
weightless doll against his chest and deepened their kiss. Her body was crushed
against his. She wrapped her fingers around the back of his neck and let his
tongue tease hers, savoring his taste, minty and salty at once. He increased
the pressure and changed the angle of his head. The extra friction sent her
into an agony of pleasure.
From far, far away, inner voices
warned Madison. He already had a girlfriend. He was out of her league. He had
even slept with Pippa. She laid her hand on his cheek and pushed him away.
While she struggled to get back on her feet, he squinted, as if extracted from
a deep sleep.
“I’m sorry, Maddie. I didn’t want
to push myself on you.”
His eyes were clear of any lie,
but she stepped back further nevertheless.
“Please don’t go,” Rupert
pleaded, and she stopped.
Fleeing was the easiest and
safest option.
“I’m scared.”
“So am I.”
About
the author
In addition to being an author, I work as an
entrepreneur, wife and mother-of-one but spend a good deal of time with books,
DVDs and listening to my mp3 player; all for the sake of inspiration, of
course.
My debut series, The Oxford Trilogy, has been a blast to write because I can indulge in my favorite types of music: Country and English rock.
My main goal as a writer is to make readers dream bigger and cause their hearts to beat a little faster.
Since my writing is all about sharing dreams and stories, I love connecting with fellow readers and authors.
