TEASER:
No sooner had she thought it than she heard
the sound of a car turning into the driveway. Taking a deep breath, she placed
her glass on the coffee table and draped herself in what she hoped was a
seductive pose, across the plush faux fur rug that she’d spread in front of the
fireplace. The scraping of a key in the lock made her catch her breath. Boots
stamped in the front porch before proceeding down the hallway.
Gathering her courage, Jessamyn cleared her
throat. “I’m in here. Come and get your Christmas present.”
The footsteps stopped at the sound of her voice and then she heard them moving closer. Her eyes were glued on the entranceway, which was surrounded by greenery and white twinkling lights. He moved into the light and every cell of her body went on alert.
Her gaze moved slowly upward, over a pair
of faded jeans that molded to strong legs. A blue flannel shirt was tucked in,
emphasizing a lean waist. His shoulders were wide, straining at the seams of
his shirt as he fisted his hands at his waist. Hair the color of mahogany fell
carelessly across his forehead. His face wasn’t handsome, so much as strong.
His nose was prominent, his lips thin, and his jaw was shadowed with stubble.
But it was his eyes that pinned her to the
spot. Amber, they seemed to glow as they watched her. The eyes of a predator.
He was a prime male standing in front of her, studying her almost-naked form.
Her nipples tightened, pushing against the
thin fabric and Jessamyn knew he could see them in the firelight when his eyes
lingered there. She moved her legs restlessly as the ache between her thighs
grew. Cream flowed, dampening the thin piece of satin between her legs. Every
hair on her body was standing on end as her entire being clamored its need for
this man.
There was only one slight problem. He
wasn’t Bennett.
