Welcome! This week I'm posting a sexy snippet from the first book in my Hollywood Hearts series - IF I LOVED YOU.
A walk in the park isn't simply a walk in the park for Chas and Meg. He takes her to that enigma, the stone arch, in Central Park.
Things get a little out of hand in the quiet when their mutual desire takes over.
*************
“Take many girls to the Arch?” Megan
peered at him in the fading light.
“You’re the first.”
She slipped her arm around his waist
and moved up against his side.
He stopped suddenly to point. Megan
raised her gaze. “How do the stones stay together like that?” She stepped
nearer, staring at the structure.
He shrugged. “No idea.”
“It’s a work of art.”
Chaz led her to a bench facing the
arch where they could eat. He opened the basket and popped the cork on the wine
before pouring two glasses. Megan took a sip. “Mmm…delicious.”
He handed her a plastic container.
She opened it to reveal a dozen giant strawberries half coated in dark
chocolate. Taking one in between her fingers, she slowly raised it to his lips.
Their gazes locked as his lips surrounded the succulent berry. A bite sent a
copious amount of juice flowing down his chin. Megan leaned forward slightly,
but caught herself before she licked his face clean. Instead, she plucked a
napkin out of the basket.
“Were you going to…?”
She nodded before putting her finger
over his lips as she wiped off the juice. Picking up a berry, he mirrored her
movements, except this time, Chaz licked the strawberry juice off her chin. His
lips slipped over hers effortlessly. She finished chewing and swallowed as his
tongue swept across her lower lip, setting off a spark in her belly and
igniting her passion.
He pulled her closer until their
chests barely touched and kissed her in earnest—his lips working hers until she
opened for him. Megan placed her hands on his broad shoulders, feeling the taut
muscles of his upper back through the thin fabric of his windbreaker. The taste
of strawberry mixed with the feel of his tongue gliding over hers excited her.
Her nipples hardened, aching for his touch.
Moving his hands to her back, he
closed the gap between them so that her breasts were touching his chest. He
moved his hands up and his fingers played with the ends of her hair. She didn’t
resist, yielding to her desire to be close to him.
He angled his head and took the kiss
deeper. Meg floated, her mind turned off. All she could do was feel his hands
on her, feel his lips on hers, soft yet demanding. She breathed in his
intoxicating scent mixed with his after-shave. The ache inside her stoked the
fire so hot it seemed to scorch her insides. She clamped her thighs together
but that only made her desire increase. Before she could stop herself, she
purred into his mouth.
Encouraged by her response, Chaz
ripped his mouth from hers and moved it to her neck. His lips and tongue burned
a trail down the column. He deftly unzipped her jacket and slipped it off one
shoulder, allowing his lips to continue down to her shoulder. His hands were on
her waist, holding her steady. Her nipples stung, needing to be touched. As if
he could read her mind, Chaz slid his hand up her ribcage until it covered her
breast. She gasped at the sharp tingle that shot straight to her core when his
fingers closed on her nipple.
Chaz raised his head.
“Sorry. Got carried away.”
Her eyes were wide, dark green with
passion. Two words tumbled out of her mouth without her brain’s knowledge.
“Don’t stop.” It was almost a moan.
