Here’s the excerpt:
The laughter, clinking of glasses, and music from the juke box faded
away. I could only hear the whooshing of my own heartbeat. I swallowed hard.
Grant’s eyes lowered to watch the movement of
my neck, and I imagined what it would be like for him to kiss me there like in
my dream. To trace the line from my jaw with his finger or tongue down to my
clavicle, dipping into that tiny hollow. I forgot to breathe. My leg grazed
his, with just the tiniest amount of friction. I didn’t take my eyes off him, and I could see his own widen almost
imperceptibly. His hand slipped under the table next to mine, hovering. He
never touched me. I could feel the heat from his hand like a furnace. He was
waiting for permission, a sign that I wanted and accepted his touch. My hands
stayed glued to the seat beside me, but I lifted up onto the balls of my feet,
causing my knee to bump into his awaiting hand. It took but seconds for his
large, strong hand to clasp the top of my leg, the pad of his thumb brushing
along the soft skin inside my thigh. I looked around the table, but everyone
was deep in their own conversations, and no one was paying us any attention.
Neither his hand nor my leg moved for a long time. Just the tiny swipes of his
thumb, causing my breath to hitch. We didn’t look at
each other as to not draw attention. He chatted casually with people at the
table, while I was drawn tighter than a bow. Finally, after an excruciatingly
long time, he began to move his fingers. He ran his thumb in tiny circles on
the inside of my thigh as his fingers brushed behind my knee, making a
painstakingly slow ascent upward. One millimeter at a time. Time stood still
and the room around me blurred. He was still an inch or two below the hem of my
shorts, but I felt like he was touching me at my core. Goosebumps rose along my
skin, and I shivered. Grant must have taken that as a good sign, because
he began to very slowly—agonizingly slowly—inch his fingers further up my thigh. My muscles tightened in
anticipation, knowing this was wrong but wanting nothing but his touch.
He made his way to the hem of my tiny shorts, sliding his fingers back and
forth against it. Inside my thigh. Outside my thigh. Inside. Outside. In. Out.
My vision blurred, and my eyes slid shut with pleasure. I bit my bottom lip to
contain the groan that threatened to escape my lips.

About SARAH M ROSS:
Sarah Ross started her
obsession with reading at an early age, getting in trouble for sneaking
BabySitter Club and Nancy Drew books into math class in elementary school. She
would read any fiction book she could get her hands on. Sarah knew it was an
addiction when instead of grounding her from TV or music, her mom would take
away her books as punishment (The Horror!). Her love of all things paranormal
was inspired by her good friend Laurie, who convinced Sarah that books with
vampires, witches, and all things shifter were amazing. After a little
reluctance, she gave it a shot with the Sookie Stackhouse books, realized she
was right, and the rest was history. Sarah grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated
from The University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English, and taught 8th
graders to love reading as much as she does for several years. She will always
be a proud member of the Steelers Nation, but couldn’t take the cold and moved
her frozen tush to Florida where she now lives with her family and two cats.
You will find Sarah now with her trusty Kindle in hand and toes in the sand!
You can find her:
Toodles.
Happy Reading.
