Excerpt:
Terrah stepped outside her room and headed down the hall towards Nick’s. Her red heels made no sound on the soft carpet as she walked. She squeezed her red clutch purse and tried to ignore the butterflies fluttering in her chest. She stopped in front of the door marked 910, took a deep breath, and smoothed her hands down the sides of her dress one more time before knocking.
The door swung open much too soon.
Nick stood before her, freshly shaven and breathtakingly handsome, dressed in white linen pants and a black shirt that clung to his muscled arms.
“Wow! You look incredible.”
“Thank you.” Terrah smiled, suddenly breathless and wired. “So do you. Are you ready to go eat?”
The smile he gave her melted her bones, making it very difficult to stand with poise.
“Are you?”
They stared at one another for a second.
Terrah swallowed hard and nodded. “I’m starved.”
Her voice was a whisper and she could barely hear herself speak over the wild roar of her thudding heart.
“So am I.”
“What do you have a taste for?”
The answer flashed in his eyes. Nick reached for her, yanked her hard against his body and kissed her. She parted her mouth as he dragged her into his room. The door shut silently behind them and her purse fell to the floor. His arm tightened around her waist, their lips melded and Terrah moaned with need. The force of attraction between them could no longer be denied. She wanted him to take her…make her scream his name as he had promised her she would. Nick shifted his lips from hers and the sound of their hurried breathing filled the room.
“Nick…”
“Don’t tell me to stop.” His voice was ragged and dark as he backed her up towards the bed.
“I wouldn’t dare.”
“I want you so bad, Terrah.”
His words and his hands on her body made her want to show him she felt the same way. She tugged at his shirt, lifting it up over his head as he raised his arms.
“I want you, too.”
Nick slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders, and Terrah shivered as it fell to the floor in a soft heap around her feet.
“Look at you.” His heated gaze swept over her from head to toe. “You’re so damned beautiful. I love your body.”
“Tell me what you love, Nick.” Terrah reached out to touch his chest as he traced a line across the top of her breasts.
“These curves. The way you feel in my arms.”
Terrah moaned as he gripped her hips and kissed her.
