A group of authors have begun a fun new blog event called Snippet Saturday, where each week the authors post a themed snippet from one of their books and then links to the other authors in the group and their snippets. While I may not be able to participate every Saturday, I will when I can.
A First Kiss
Quinn grasped her wrist and flipped her around to face him.
His amber eyes pierced through her with a heated intensity as he
watched her reactions. “You come here week after week and
stand here looking down at us as we work. Do you think we
don’t notice the longing on your face? The way your body
squirms as we wrap more and more rope around the girls who
ask us to? Why are you torturing yourself? Or should I
say…what are you waiting for?”
She closed her eyes to his questions, searching for an
adequate answer when she knew there was none. How could she
deny the truth? “I admire your work. What’s wrong with that?”
His fingers gently grasped her chin and raised her head back
up, forcing her to look at him. “We see you, Katie, we know
what you need. Why do you hide here?”
She bristled against his words, shame heating her face.
“I’m not hiding, Quinn, I’m just observing. I’m here and I’m
alone, yet no one ever approaches or speaks to me. Which is
fine, but don’t tell me that I’m hiding. What am I supposed to
do? Throw myself at someone?”
A grin split Quinn’s handsome face, revealing the beautiful
smile she loved so much. She always noticed how happy his job
made him and she envied him that feeling. Some ties were more
intense than others as evidenced by the hard lines of his face
when he concentrated or the occasional bulge in his pants when a
willing female turned him on. It was those moments when she
had fleeting thoughts of both him and Leo taking her for their
own. The popular riggers were frequently gossiped about around
Purgatory, and word was they had a great time playing the scene
together but hadn’t taken a submissive of their own for a very
long time.
“You don’t have to get defensive with me, babe. I’m not
sure what’s wrong with the men in this club, letting you spend
all your time alone. Their loss is my gain, though.” He leaned
closer, his lips a breath away from her own. The sharp tang of
citrus filled her nostrils and she imagined he’d just come from a
break where he would have eaten an orange. Did he realize even
the way his hands peeled the skin from an orange could turn a
woman inside out?
Katie sucked in a slow breath, afraid to move. She worried
he would kiss her as much as she worried that he wouldn’t. She
was in a mood tonight, and watching the play stations hadn’t
helped but instead stoked the flames inside her until, now
pressed against one of the men of her nightly dreams, she wanted
nothing more than to submit to his every whim. She ached with
the desire to be touched, to be tied, and to be fucked by Quinn
and Leo.
He edged a little closer, but instead of kissing her like she
expected, he stroked her lips with his tongue. A gentle touch
that was more like a taste than a kiss. He leaned into her until
they were pressed together from hips to breast, and his erection
was unmistakable pushed against her belly and pelvis. His hot
tongue licked at the corner of her mouth and along the seam of
her lips. She opened farther on a soft sigh but he only continued
his exploration.
Her own arousal went off the charts as she rolled her hips
against his. A low growl sounded in his throat and he pulled his
head back from hers. “Careful, Katie. For a girl who professes
to being happy alone, your body is quickly making a liar out of
you.”
