She hoped Declan thought so, too. He had such an amazing body that she imagined most people appeared out of shape to him, but Holly had an active job and she worked out several times a week. Besides, he had kissed her first, so he must find her attractive.<\/p>\n<p>Holly lay back in bed, changing her position several times, wondering how best to present herself. She wanted to look sexy for him.<\/p>\n<p>Finally she lay still, her heart beating fast.<\/p>\n<p>Time passed. She felt disappointed and then angry. The bastard wasn\u2019t coming back after all. She felt like a damn fool.<\/p>\n<p>Declan was a weird jerk and she should have known he would do something like this. Then a tap on the door preceded his entrance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry. There was a line at the pharmacy down the street,\u201d he said, running a hand through his damp hair. \u201cAnd I wanted to take another shower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She smiled. He\u2019d changed his clothes, too, trading his scruffy jeans and plaid shirt for snug black pants and a sweater that hugged his sculpted torso.<\/p>\n<p>He carried a box of condoms, and his jaws worked on a piece of gum that he turned and spat in the wastebasket before approaching the bed.<\/p>\n<p>Holly laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked, his dark eyes widening a bit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was really classy, Declan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you want me to come to bed with a wad of gum in my mouth?\u201d he asked, the hint of a smile playing around his voluptuous mouth, as he kicked off his shoes. He hadn\u2019t bothered wearing socks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re probably the least pretentious guy ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He straddled her on the bed, bracing a hand on either side of her head. Brushing the tip of his aquiline nose against hers, he said, \u201cAnd you\u2019re beautiful.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- start LinkyTools script --><\/p>\n<p><b>Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkytools.com\/wordpress_list.aspx?id=289345&amp;type=basic\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to enter your link and view this Linky Tools list&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demon&rsquo;s Grotto by Kate Hill Paranormal Romance, Dark Fantasy Blurb: Ben wants Laura to reconsider staying overnight at Demon&rsquo;s Grotto, and he has information about the club&rsquo;s history that should convince her.
