Excerpt 1:
Oh.
My. God.
Kate watched,
enthralled, as Luke controlled each rep with precision, even as his brow
furrowed in pain and concentration. He was working out his arms…and his
biceps bulged deliciously from the overexertion. Sweat gleamed off his
tan skin, making his arms seem even more defined than they already were.
Kate had known
the man was in shape. It was hard to ignore, especially when the jeans he
wore to work showcased his thick, muscular thighs, and his shirts, while loose,
highlighted his broad chest and flat abdomen. But seeing him put in the
work…it was a whole different experience.
Warmth spread in
her lower belly and Kate struggled to regulate her breath. Just watching
his strong, powerful body was arousing. Her sex gave a throb of agreement
between her thighs.
Leave! Turn
away and go get breakfast, her mind screamed. But her feet remained
rooted in place. Eating food was the last thing on her mind right now.
Luke finished his
reps and set the free weights back into their holsters against the wall.
He tugged up his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face and Kate just about fell
over.
This man is a
god, a descendent of Adonis himself.
His abdomen was
chiseled and taut. Kate’s mouth went dry when she spied a trail of
golden, crisp hairs leading into the waistband of his workout shorts.
Fantasies of raking her nails through that trail bombarded her mind and she
swayed on her feet in response.
And then electric
blue eyes found her own.
Busted!
Excerpt 2:
He unlocked the
doors and they slid in. It was cold inside, but he started the engine to
let warm air filter in. The familiar smell of Luke—and even the old
cigarette smoke smell—comforted her and she breathed it in greedily.
“Stay with me
again tonight,” he requested quietly, his hands resting on the steering wheel,
letting the windows defrost.
Her head snapped
to him. Deep down, she wanted to. So very much. But…Luke
Branford was worming his way into her heart, slowly but steadily. She
feared he’d make a permanent home if she kept him too close.
Biting her lip,
her indecision shone on her features. “I don’t know, Luke.”
“Stay,” he said
again. “I don’t want to sleep in that bed with your smell all over the
sheets, knowing you’re not there to keep me warm.”
Melt.
Her breath
whooshed out of her body. She could already feel herself starting to
cave. The thought of curling into his body tonight was heavenly.
But she still shook her head. “We have work tomorrow. I don’t have
my work clothes.”
“We’ll stop by
your apartment tonight so we don’t have to in the morning,” he answered
simply. Everything was simple for him. She liked that about
him. “Stay with me, Kate.” He switched tactics. “Just give me
a ‘yes’ or a ‘no.’”
She stared at
him, feeling warmth seep back into her flesh. The windows were almost
completely defrosted, so he’d either take her home and say goodbye for the
night or they’d go back to Luke’s. The thought of going back to her
apartment left her cold. She wanted to smell sage and cedar wood when she
drifted off to sleep tonight.
She made her
decision.
“Yes.”
