Dylan Deveney has no interest in a wild fling. He simply wants a
quiet place where he can try to forget a painful past and, barring that, drink
himself to death. But when he catches a glimpse of his exquisite neighbor—in
the buff—his passion for life reignites.
Cassie French can’t resist Dylan’s allure. From his scruffy beard
to his earring to his intriguing dragonfly tattoo, she’s crazy about him. And
sex between them is scorching. Everything seems perfect…until a tragedy from
Dylan’s past threatens to ruin everything.
An Excerpt from Dragonfly Kisses
When they
finished eating and bantering, a crackling silence fell. Cassie licked her
finger and blotted up her crumbs. “Well,” she said. “I should probably be
going.” She moved to stand.
“Don’t.”
One word,
sharp, with a tinge of panic, froze her in place. She glanced at him.
“Please
stay. I’ve…enjoyed talking to you.”
She forced
a smile. “Lucy will be worried.”
“About
me?”
She
laughed. “About me. Poaching. We have rules about poaching, you see.”
“Poaching
only counts on things you own. Lucy doesn’t own me.”
Cassie
cleared her throat. “She wants to. And she has dibbs.”
He snorted
a laugh. “Sounds like third grade. And, by the way, I thought Bella had dibbs.”
“They’re
dueling over you.”
His
expression sobered. “Do I get a say in this?”
She tipped
her head to the side. “Have you met them? They can be rather…adamant.”
“So can I.
When I want something.”
Her heart
flipped. “You, ah, want something?”
“You know
I do.”
Holy
heaven. His gaze was steamy. It left no doubt about exactly what he wanted. But
she had to ask. “W-what?”
He stood,
balancing on one foot. “Come here.”
The thread
of command, of yearning, in his tone snared her. She couldn’t ignore it. She
rounded the table and looked up at him. This close, he was even more
mesmerizing. And he smelled…he smelled delicious. His cologne teased her
nostrils. Musky and woodsy and manly.
She
stilled as he threaded his fingers through her hair and cupped her cheeks. And
then his head descended.
His lips
brushed hers. Just a soft, sweet buss, but it held a skein of promise, a hint
of hunger and a tinge of desperation.
At her
moan, he deepened the kiss, opening his mouth, pressing against her, consuming
her. His taste, his essence, flooded her. Desire, wild and wanton, lashed her.
Unbidden, a moan rose in her throat. He took it, swallowed it, gave it back.
He pulled
her closer, flush against him. His body was hard and hot. Demanding. A trill of
excitement rippled through her as she nudged the thick wedge of his erection.
Oh, she
shouldn’t be doing this, kissing, consuming a man she barely knew like a
lust-crazed wanton, but she couldn’t stop. And she kind of was. A lust-crazed
wanton.
Something
about this man curled around her sanity, her core, and sank in with needy
claws. She’d kissed a lot of men in her life. But never a kiss like this.
He slanted
his lips and took her from a new direction, molding his mouth over hers,
teasing, nibbling, licking. She shuddered as his tongue dipped in. She met it
with her own, then, unable to resist, gently sucked.
He reared
back and stared at her. His eyes were rimmed with red, burned with desire.
“God, Cassie,” he groaned, but didn’t finish the thought. As though he couldn’t
resist, he kissed her again, but this time with a fiercer passion, one that
made her muscles lock, her heart thud, her body melt.
She
wrapped her arms around his neck, stroked his hair, then scored his scalp in a
rake of need.
His
fingers began to rove over her back, up to her nape, down her flank. He
squeezed her buttocks. The pressure sent shudders through her.
And then,
as he held her tight with one hand, the other skated to her breast, gauging her
reaction as he gently cupped her. When she didn’t resist, when she wriggled
impatiently in his embrace, he swept a thumb over her nipple.
Her body
seized. Rivulets of pleasure washed through her, sending pings of absolute
delight straight to her tingling clit. She couldn’t help it. She ground that
nub against his hardness.
He
growled.
Like the
Highlander he was, he growled.
