An Excerpt From: GOLDEN SEDUCTION
Aleneic slid across the couch to Laila and took her hand. She stiffened but he brought her closer to him. When she tried to pull away he held her firmly until she stilled. Looking into her expressive topaz gaze, Aleneic wondered why the fates had brought him to a woman who would make him want what he might not be able to have. His attention was again caught by her lush mouth that made him want to keep kissing her senseless. Her lush plump bottom lip was begging for his teeth to nip it and the top heart-shaped lip made his tongue ache to give it a thorough tongue-lashing.
He knew it had been wrong to taste her again. The first time had made him hot but the second then third time had made him throb and ache. An ache that was driving him crazy. He knew it was only a matter of time before she would come to him and then he would take her every way he could.
Aleneic's mind flashed to how it would be as his fingers delved into her reddish-brown hair while he kissed along her smooth mocha-colored sculpted cheeks to her luscious mouth, then down to her chin with the delightful little dent. He would spend some time nibbling on it before going down under her chin to her neck. Slowly, he would lick down between her ripe full breasts then nibble on each one before exploring all of the rest of her, including that lovely butt and lust-inspiring hips. He frowned, making a note to take his time in exploring her. He saw she was watching him silently, waiting for him to speak.
He looked into her expressive topaz gaze, pleased at the hint of lust there. A low growl came from his lips. He fought to get control over his own needs. Desire warred with duty as he tried to focus on why he was here.

An Excerpt From: SHADOW DANCE
“I can imagine,” Dimitri practically purred.
Aware of the hunger in his gaze, Yadira raised an eyebrow. “Why don't we just get it over with?”
Dimitri look said he knew exactly what she was talking about. “Get what?”
Yadira saw the challenge in his gaze. He wanted her to say it. Yadira smiled. She never backed down from a challenge.
“Tasting each other.”
Dimitri looked at her then stepped in front of her. Yadira felt dwarfed by him. He had to be at least six-five to her six feet. Looking into her eyes he lowered his face. He paused with barely a hair's breadth between their lips. Yadira's heart rate increased waiting for his touch. Dimitri leaned in and their lips touched. He kissed her softly, barely a brush of lips, then withdrew. Yadira narrowed her eyes. Then her hands flashed up cupping his face, stopping him from retreating. His look was contained.
Closing the distance between them, Yadira ignored the whispers of danger on the air and kissed him.
* * * * *
She reveled in the softness of his lips. Licking along the line of them she delved in as they parted. She gasped at the heat of his mouth. Sliding her hands into his hair she brought her body closer. Yadira swirled her tongue against his and hummed at the feel of his tongue mating with hers. A strange sensation filled her mouth and Yadira gasped at the shock of it.
Heat burst over her tongue, scorching down her throat, bursting under the force of her moan. It was like swallowing the sun. Hot, sensual and awe inspiring. Closing her eyes she held him and ravished his lips. Dimitri's groan traveled down her throat, awakening all her nerve endings. Releasing him, Yadira stepped back and was grateful her legs held her.
Yadira opened her eyes, looked at Dimitri and saw that his expression was still cool. But the fire in his gaze dispelled any notion that he was unaffected. The elevator doors opened silently. Looking at him, Yadira licked her lips. His gaze dropped as he followed her movement. His gaze returned to hers. Yadira watched him. She lifted her hand and trailed it along his face.
Smiling as he shuddered at her touch Yadira promised, “Next time I'll have you naked in two seconds flat.”
Dimitri smiled in response. “It will be my pleasure.”
Laughing softly, Yadira countered, “It will be at my demand.”

An Excerpt From: VEILS RISING
Dilana took in the man she knew as Magni Taggart from the business card he had left. She had only met him once but felt like she knew him. His light sienna skin had a fine coating of moisture while a stray curl escaped from his loose braid, trailing down the side of his face. Seeing him now, she realized that her imagining hadn't done him justice. He smiled, a predatory twist of his full nibbilicious-looking lips. Her feminine instinct made her want to take a step back but her pride would not let her.
“How did you get in?”
Magni's brow quirked. “The door.”
His tone was mild, contrasting to the intensity of his gaze and on his face. With a confident stride, he stepped forward. Dilana stepped back to avoid touching him. Magni came into the room, took a glance around and walked over and sat in a chair facing her. He steepled his long masculine fingers under his chin and watched her.
“Mr. Taggart, even if you are a client, breaking into this compound is against the law. If you are here for an update, contact me in the morning.”
He smiled again a slow preparatory grin. “Magni. You don't want me to leave. You're a hard woman to find, Dilana.”
Despite his slightly accented voice rolling over her like rich molasses his confident tone got her back up. Dilana stalked over to him, stopping just before she reached him.
Dilana gritted out from between clenched teeth, “Yes I do. Get the hell out, now.”
He stood up with barely restrained force, taking a step forward. Dilana stepped back before she caught herself and stubbornly stood her ground.
“We'll talk in the morning. You can have an update then,” Dilana said, trying to hold her temper.
“You. I'm here for you, Dilana.” His voice was sensual yet lethal.
