He stopped moving. Now they weren't dancing. They were just swaying in time to the music. "There's nothing wrong with the real you, sweetheart." <br /><br />With that one sentence, he had her. She could smell him, and his scent was strong. Musky. Maybe it was just physiology, she thought, with the tiny part of her brain that still worked. Something about her female pheromone receptors went bonkers when he was near. He'd said sweetheart. Amanda didn't know if it was how he'd said the word or the endearment itself that warmed her so completely.<br /><br />Visit Joan online: http://SlingWords.blogspot.com / Sign up for her mailing list: http://eepurl.com/Yk61n<br /><br />SCENTS and SENSUALITY, Kindle: http://amzn.com/B00BTIDUHWJoan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169078819691058551.post-65363236511285286272015-01-11T18:42:54.810-05:002015-01-11T18:42:54.810-05:00From AMEN TO LOVE, a January ARe Top Fifty Best Se...From AMEN TO LOVE, a January ARe Top Fifty Best Seller<br /><br />Gunfire.

Their hands touched as he passed the candle to her, and he felt a small hot rush jolt through him that had nothing to do with the heat of the candle’s flame. He felt her start and knew she’d felt it too for her gaze locked on his own, her face a study in surprise. He held her gaze, fighting desire as it welled up inside him, creating the need to taste the sweetness of that innocent mouth, brush her eyelids with his kisses, crush her tight against him so she could feel how his body swelled with wanting.<br /><br />http://deeannpalmer.com<br />http://deeannpalmer.blogspot.com<br />Dee Ann Palmerhttp://deeannpalmer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169078819691058551.post-70141367988321635882015-01-11T17:21:58.004-05:002015-01-11T17:21:58.004-05:00A snippet from DREAM DOCTOR (book two of the Dream...A snippet from DREAM DOCTOR (book two of the Dream Series):<br /><br />Still, I’m going to keep a close eye on her.

Dean stopped directly in front of him and bent over far more than necessary to take the shot. Eric’s cock pushed against the material of his jeans, wanting to come out and play. After Dean sank the first ball, he straightened and turned that tight, lean body to face him. Eric stood in front of the rack holding the extra cue sticks and Dean sauntered up to him, stopping when no more than an inch separated their bodies.<br />“I think I need another stick. This one felt a little soft.” Dean reached behind Eric and lifted one from the rack, letting their chests graze together.<br />“I hate it when I pick a limp stick.” Eric leaned back against the wall and slid one leg between Dean’s. That long cock rubbed against his thigh for a second before Dean stepped back. <br />“Yep, one with a good, solid thrust is far superior.”<br />“Well you know, some people say that it’s not the stick but how you use it.”<br />“Those people don’t know what they’re missing.
