The following excerpt from LICKING FIRE is for readers 18 and over.
“Excuse me?” She gave him her sternest look and jerked her foot from his grasp. “No way am I going to dive into some crazy-assed pain ritual with you. I don’t even know you and I certainly don’t have a reason to trust you.”
“I’m not suggesting pain.” He stood, leaned over the tub and braced his hands on either side of her head.
Latara moistened her lips, her pulse quickening from Ethan’s nearness. She felt the warmth of his breath on her face and noticed it carried the faintest hint of peppermint.
“Then what the hell are you suggesting?”
“Pleasure.” He lifted a hand and trailed it between her water-slicked breasts.
“Pleasure?” She tried not to look as interested as she felt. The idea of experiencing pleasure with this man was…Well, it was exactly what she’d been needing for a long time. Not only was he physically attractive, but he looked as if he had the potency of a bull in mating season. She recalled the way he’d toted her up the stairs without breaking a sweat. Power. Stamina. And by the enticing bulge in the front of his pants, he could satisfy her in every way.
Hold on, Latara. Get a grip. Think. One step at a time.
“Why haven’t you tried this with somebody else?” she asked. “This world has lots of people in it.”
“And you saw them,” he said, still holding her gaze. “They’re crazy. Those who weren’t created by Beetle as part of this insane fantasy have been placed here by him. They’re prisoners just like we are, except they’ve been here for so long they’ve surrendered to the madness. That’s how I picked you out, Latara. You were dressed completely wrong. You looked terrified. You were running. In the real world, you would have looked insane, but in this world you were simply doing what any sane person would do.”
“Racing half-naked through the streets in fear of my life?”
“Exactly.” He leaned a bit closer, his lips almost touching hers. “Whether you believe me or not, you’re still stuck here. If we do this and it works, good for us. If we do it and it doesn’t, what have you lost?”
He had a point.
“Do you have any safety?” she murmured, her breath quickening with anticipation.
“Sure.” He reached behind the tub and, as if by magic, picked up a condom and held it in front of her.
“Ribbed for her comfort,” she breathed.
“Everything for her comfort,” he whispered and covered her mouth in a kiss so hot and deep she couldn’t keep from moaning.
