Beautiful cover! |
Today I'm presenting a rather racy scene from Betrayal. Enjoy!
*****
She reached up and wound her
arms around his neck, her fingers playing with the strands of hair at his neck
as she kissed him back. Neither of them had any idea how long they stood locked
in their embrace, their kisses growing ever deeper and more passionate, nor did
he care. Erika, on the other hand, acted her part as convincingly as possible.
Max’s hand crept under her top and made circular movements on her bare skin,
each circle gradually moving lower until his fingers were brushing just inside
the waistband of her trousers.
Erika pressed her body into
his, moulding herself to his shape. She couldn’t help but notice his manhood
now stood firmly to attention. Max was encouraged by this and grew bolder. He
slipped one of his hands round to the front and began to move it up her stomach
and toward her breast. She firmly pulled his hand away and murmured “Not yet.”
He kissed her deeper still and placed his hand on her breast outside of the
material and began to caress it.
Inside her stomach churned. If
she were still human, she was sure the bile would be rising to her throat.
Feeling his grubby hands on her skin made her flesh crawl and she forced
herself to suppress the shudder of revulsion building within. Enduring his lips
on hers was a form of torture; all she really wanted to do was sink her teeth
into them and rip them from his face. Erika had to keep reminding herself why
she was permitting this travesty and it hardened her resolve.
Outwardly, she tried in her
weakened state to continue to respond to Max’s kisses and play with the hair at
the nape of his neck, but knew she would soon have to end his fun. She didn’t
want to play out her hand too soon; it had to be done in increments so he kept
coming back for more. Her plan, which she had spent untold hours refining,
relied on him being under the spell of her womanly wiles; it was the only
weapon at her disposal and she intended to use it to full effect.
As she felt his hand begin to
move under her shirt and start to lift it, she feigned her knees buckling and
pulled away from him, sliding to land in a crumpled heap on the floor. He knelt
beside her, his brows knitted together as concern flared in his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Max tenderly brushed the hair back from her face as he stared down at her.
“I-I’m not sure. I just feel
so weak and light-headed.” Erika’s voice was frail and she fluttered her lashes
as if she were struggling to stay conscious.
