EXCERPT
GOOD
GIRL GONE BAD
“It’s,
ah—for work.” She grabbed for the book. "May I have it back now?"
Luke
swung it above her head, a smile tugging at the corner of his
mouth. “Work, huh?” He lowered the book, folded it close and held
it in one hand, seemingly taunting her to try for it again.
Of all
the imagined fantasies of being alone with Luke, being caught
reading about sex never came into her thoughts, let alone teased
about it. “I…it’s…” If she was going to be an honest to goodness
writer, she needed to act like one. She raised her chin a notch
and looked him squarely in the eye. "Research," she said in a meek
voice.
He set
the book down and braced his hand on the top shelf above Reagan's
head and leaned his head down. “What exactly is it you want to
learn from these books, Reagan?”
Little
vibrations hummed through her body from the way he said her name,
deep, rich cords, almost a whisper. She dropped her chin and
glanced away. “I—I don’t know, exactly.”
He
captured her chin with two fingers, lifting her gaze to meet his
for several long moments that held Reagan's breath. “Tell me.”
“I…”
She moistened her bottom lip, craving for him to lean down and
kiss her.
He lowered his gaze to her damp lips as he lightly traced his
fingers from her chin down her throat to cover her wildly beating
pulse. “Don't you know what’s in those books, Reagan?”
Luke’s
words swirled over her mouth in a moist caress, Reagan breathed
the faint taste of coffee and sugar. How she wanted his firm mouth
to press against hers, to kiss her, to ravish her… Slowly she
shook her head, biting her lower lip.
His
fingers left her pulse, his hand moved down her chest, over the
ruffle of her blouse and skimmed across the fabric to the swell of
her breast, cupping it so softly Reagan nearly cried out, only
contained herself knowing someone would come if she made a noise.
For now, their corner of the bookstore was empty.
“Look
at me.”
She
sucked in a breath and slowly returned her gaze, fearing she would
find him amused. Instead he rewarded her with a look of
satisfaction and his hand pressing harder against her breast,
lifting upward and squeezing her nipple between his thumb and
forefinger.
Reagan
fought against a spasm of pain and unexpected pleasure, tensed
against the warmth radiating between her legs.
“Do you
want to know what’s in those books, Reagan?”
She
never knew her body could feel like this, tight and aching,
yearning and alive. If those books could teach her how to have
this again and again, then… “Yes, Luke. I want to know.” She
barely recognized her tone, she sounded ragged, out of breath,
seductive.
Luke
lowered his mouth and suckled her bottom lip, nipping it before
moving to her throat. The stubble of his beard scraped against her
skin, sensitizing her flesh. Reagan dropped her head back, fingers
digging into the wood shelf behind her for support.
“Do you
want me to show you what’s in those books?”
“Y-yes.”
