INTENSITY
Excerpt - C.C. Koen
I turned toward the frameless picture
windows lining the entire exterior wall and was presented with a breathtaking,
unobstructed view of the harbor. Smack dab in the middle, behind an antique
mahogany desk, stood the tallest, most impressive man I’d ever seen. The black
suit he wore matched the surroundings, professional and sleek. The top three
buttons on his white shirt undone, dark sprigs of hair peeked through and
begged for my attention.
As I got closer, his eyes scanned me from
head, to chest, to hips and up and down my long legs at least three times,
resting on my ruby-red tiptoes.
Ha! Two could play at that game. Using the
exact pace he did, I snapped mental pictures of every God given, Mr. Universe
muscle. A wavy black ponytail, pulled tight at the nape, crested his wide
shoulders and dipped to mid-chest, bringing my journey to a momentary pause. A
taut dress shirt molded to his pecs became an instant favorite and preference I
didn’t know I had. As I gravitated lower, the desk impeded my view, coming to
rest at his waist and a nondescript silver belt buckle. My eyes drifted back
up, wishing I could see more, but his tailored jacket without a hint of lint on
it kept him hidden. Still, from what I could take in, the man had sin engraved
all over him.
I stopped in front of his desk and
realized my earlier assessment of him had been right. My six five in heels,
shrunk to five feet the way he towered over me by several inches. “Linc?” The
wispiness of my voice made me cringe. Way to go, Serena.
His answer, one sharp nod. In the corners
around each eye, little wrinkles appeared as he took another long journey over
my body. Knees locked together, I tried hard not to fidget. “I’m Serena.
Mylaynee said my interview was at twelve thirty. I’m a little early. I didn’t
mean to interrupt if you were in the middle of something.” Damn, there I went,
rambling. Yeah, that would have him eating out of my hands.
Linc rounded the desk, coming toe to toe.
“You’re a virgin.”
INTENSITY- Excerpt #2- C.C. KOEN
As soon as I sat
down, my hands coasted across the soft leather. Just like I’d imagined a cloud
would feel. When I looked up, Linc stood in the same place. The blackness of
his suit reminded me of a panther’s coat, and the man—observing his meal.
He crossed the room
and sat next to me, the cushion sinking with his weight and tilting me closer
to him. His left leg lined with mine, thigh to heel. He extended an arm along
the top of the couch and laid his fingertips along the crease of my neck,
brushing them up and down.
Millions of
tingles raced over my spine.
His other warm
hand took possession of my upper thigh, and he skimmed his thumb back and forth
across my clenched legs, creeping upward.
As my dress moved
higher and into no man’s land, I gripped his wrist and squeezed hard. His
fingers stilled at the edge of my panties, making me clench, and the movement
on my neck ceased mid-stroke.
“W-what are you
doing?”
