Erotic Romance
After signing up for a one-night stand through an exclusive
matching agency, hopeless romantic Marianne Caldwell is swept away to a
medieval land where she hopes to spend the night with a worthy man of honor.
Unsure of how she got from the Castillo Hotel in Las Vegas
to a castle in the English countryside, Mare finds Robert, whose stunning
physique and winning smile immediately convince her he's the Robin Hood she's
been seeking. But despite his efforts in
saving her from a corrupt sheriff, his Jersey Shore accent and coarse ways
unravel her romantic visions.
With her fairytale fantasies coming unhinged, Mare must
decide if Robert is just a crass car salesman from Brooklyn or the chivalrous
knight she's looking for.
Prior to becoming a writer of romantic fiction, Casea Major
worked in the legal field for a non-profit dispute resolution company for ten
years. She is now a full-time mom to
three preschool children with whom she and her husband live happily...most of
the time. When she isn't chained to her
laptop, she enjoys Cary Grant movies and crocheting.
“Well, Dallas, what did a pretty gal like you
expect from this deal?”
There was no way in hell she would answer that
question. So she employed her stellar skills of diversion and subterfuge. “What
did a guy like you expect from this deal?” Okay, maybe not the cleverest line
she’d ever come up with, but this guy with his mesmerizing eyes messed up her
mojo.
He leaned back with his elbow on the mattress and
flashed a brilliant smile. She swallowed hard. “To get to know a lovely young
woman such as yourself and have a little adventure. You think you can handle
that?”
Could he be any more cocky? His thinly veiled
innuendo struck her with the delicacy of a baseball bat. No question he was
hot. From a purely physical standpoint, he was perfection, but did anything
rattle around behind those blue eyes?
She crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her
chin. “What I want to know is, can you
handle that?”
Oops, she hadn’t meant for that to sound like a
challenge or an invitation, but even to her own ears, it did. He stood, his
long legs closing the distance between them in two strides. She braced her legs
to hold her ground, but retreated toward a wall. So much for holding my ground. Pressing her head back against a
branch, she looked up into his even stare. God, his eyes were Ceylon blue, his
lips full and lush. He stopped in front of her, but continued to lower his head
toward hers. Other than the rustling wind, only her ragged breathing sounded
amongst the leaves.
Robert braced his hands on either side of her
shoulders, effectively trapping her between him and the tree. Every cell in her
body buzzed with electrical current, and her gaze helplessly transfixed on him.
The lids of his eyes lowered, and his straight nose brushed against hers.
“Can I kiss you?” His whispered request tickled her
skin.
Chills swept over her heated body. Her knees gave
way, and she sighed out some inaudible response he apparently took as affirmative.
He brushed her lips with a kiss.
With agonizing leisure, his mouth eased over hers,
first feathering her closed lips then caressing each one between his. His
velvety flesh wisped like flower petals against hers, and the aroma of fresh
mint scented his breath. The languid motion of his kiss ignited a desire that
throbbed all the way down between her legs. The longer he lingered, the hotter
she burned. He never sped his pace or reached for her in any other way. It was
only a kiss, yet so much more.
His warm tongue slipped between her lips and slowly
explored her mouth, sliding across her teeth and stroking her tongue. A soft
moan escaped her and excruciating tension built in her core with each lazy
thrust.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and trailed
her fingers down his hips as she molded to his body. He gasped and ended the
kiss. The staggering length of his arousal pressed into her abs and the burn in
her sex flared into a raging inferno.
He rested his forehead against the tree, and she
laid her hands on his chest with his body lightly molded to hers. The heat
radiating between them smoldered hotter than the Vegas asphalt at high noon.
His breaths were steady, but his heart pounded against her open palms.
His voice, deep and husky, sounded near her ear.
“Maybe. Maybe not, Dallas.”
She opened her eyes. “Huh?”
He kept his eyes closed and rubbed his cheek
against hers. “I was just answering your earlier question.”
