New Excerpt


There’s always that one guy. Riley watched her date and shook her head.


"Stay there, I'll get the door." Mike got out of the car.

The cellophane on the roses Mike gave her when he arrived at her apartment crinkled in complaint as she moved them to the back seat, but not before she breathed in one more time. The floral perfume combined with his cologne made her dizzy, or maybe it was the ride down Pacific Coat Highway to Malibu.

Yes, there was always that one guy, the one that every other man is measured against. Up until yesterday she hadn’t thought about Mike in years, but he was always there. His imprint was all over her, a fingerprint unique to only her. How many men had to live up to memories they couldn’t compete with?

Part of her wished she possessed the strength to turn him down. Part of her wished he hadn't shown, or cancelled. Part of her wanted this date to reclaim what she lost so long ago she forgot she missed it.

The moment she got in the car with him, she became the seventeen-year-old
Margaret again. Only her former self never got this far. At the time she convinced herself it was better, the date would have been terrible, he was too goal oriented, and he only wanted what he perceived as an easy lay.

He took long strides around the car, opened the door on her side and held out his hand.
"Riley."

Now she was Riley. Margaret was gone. Riley had hidden her away with a name change taken from her parents' middle names, a bottle of hair dye, and a move to a new state.

She paused, studying him. Tonight he wore a pair of black pants and matching blazer and dark blue button down. As always, he fit his situation perfectly. She acquiesced and put her hand in his.
And There's a treat for you!

Excerpt

Mike never tutored her in chemistry. She supposed it was because she followed the instructions in that class or she may blow herself up. One thing was certain. She did not need any help now.



"Take a bite." Mike held up a spoon containing a sampling of chocolate covered coconut cake with raspberry sauce.



They sat together at tiny table outside the small café where they were presented with several small dessert selections, including chocolate mousse and a custard dish, but both their eyes went to the sinful cake first.



Their dinner was incredible, but not for the food. She barely remembered eating, but she savored the way Mike ordered for her, how he chose the ideal wine to compliment the meal, and how he continued to stare at her as if nothing else existed.



"It's dripping." She shook her head.



"Then it's perfect." He lifted the spoon higher.



She decided not to mention anything else dripping. She was ready to drown.



Instead, she lapped up some of the sauce with her finger.



She went to put her finger between her lips, when he dropped the spoon and caught her wrist.



"I believe I would like the first taste." He brought her hand to his mouth and sucked the sauce off her.



He swirled his tongue along her fingertip. If he was trying to show her exactly what he could do to another part of her body, it worked.



"Delectable." He licked his lips. "But I believe I need something more." He leaned forward and kissed her.



This kiss was different than the one on the pier. They already skipped over awkward, unsure connections and were now at tantalizing tastes. The type of kissing usually meant as a precursor to other, more satisfying, activities.



He opened his mouth giving her a sampling of the decadent dessert mixed with him.



No, dripping wasn't the word to describe her. If he were any other man, she would have already had them back in bed letting him properly attend to her needs. She squeezed her thighs together in an attempt to relieve some of the pressure.



He placed his hand on her leg. "You seem a little tense."



She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, tightening and relaxing the muscles in her leg. "I'm just in good shape."

"So I feel." He inched his hand up, his fingertips sneaking under the hem of her dress.
