Today I would like to share with everyone a little excerpt that comes straight from WHEN CHEMISTRY WINS, the first installment of The Dark Horse Trilogy.
Be warned: it's a tad hot!
“No.” Too quick to say it. Kerri
faced him again, encountering those eyes piercing into her and making her feel
blessedly small in his presence. “No to seeing someone, that is.” Her last
boyfriend was months ago. Nothing serious. They barely had a roll in the hay
before Kerri realized he was a complete bore.
Hunter, on the other hand…
Maybe it was hormones. They were known
to make her wild at times. Now she was becoming wild in the wrong places. “I’m
also afraid that I’ll be quite busy.” A half lie. Oh, she would be busy… with
her father’s campaign, as much as she didn’t want to be involved. “That is, I
won’t have much time for dating. Being so keen on politics, you know how
election season is. My father wouldn’t like me seeing someone while the press
is scrutinizing our every movement.”
“I see.” Hunter cleared his throat.
“Excuse me then, Miss Mitchell. I won’t take up much more of your time.”
He was almost behind a hedge when
Kerri took a step after him. “Wait!” she called, stopping him before he could
leave as quickly as he arrived. When he turned, they shared a gaze that burst
in flames between them.
To hell with it. Kerri had done
dumber things in the name of some fun.
She snatched his hand and brought
him into the shadows of the corner, where she could not see Hunter’s face, but
she could feel the strength in his arms and in the rest of him as it pressed
her against the wall.
The moment Hunter understood what
she was after, he kissed her, Kerri’s arms wrapping around his broad shoulders
as his physical power passed into her veins.
What
a bad girl I am! Kerri would laugh if she could, but her mouth was exploring
the stubble on Hunter’s chin as his wandered toward her throat. Oh, dear, if we’re caught… There was a
thrill in it, knowing that the consequences were so terrible. The governor’s
daughter making out with some random young stranger while her father’s fundraising
dinner went on only a ways away? If they were caught, her father’s campaign may
already be up in smoke. Imagine the scandal in the newspapers and on the
tabloid sites!
As much as this made the situation
hotter, Kerri had to admit that she would do this even if the stakes weren’t so
high.
For Hunter was strong enough to hold
her against the wall, pulling her leg and skirt up as they made hasty work of
exploring each other’s skin. Not that Kerri could see anything clearly in this darkness.
But she kind of liked not knowing what each part of him looked like – only felt
like. I’ve never done it like this
before. Nor had she ever had a partner like Hunter, who softly asked if he
could fondle her while they nipped each other’s lips. “I don’t see why not,”
she said, wrapping one leg around his waist. She urged her pelvis forward,
wondering if she could feel his yet. Not
quite. What a disappointment it would be if she never could. “I really
don’t.” Of course she saw many reasons to not do this. Most of them were in the
Governor’s Mansion, probably assuming that the First Daughter was still a
virgin.
This was way more fun than sitting
in that dining room any longer.
