Half asleep,
unwilling to fully waken and face the day, Delaney snuggled deep into the
covers and allowed the dreams that danced on the edge of her consciousness to
enter. In it, she was naked, in a large white bed, with a man behind her. A
hand spanned her stomach, pulling her back against a firm, warm chest.
Spooning. Her favorite thing.
Lazily, the hand
moved upward until it cupped her breast, and Delaney secretly urged it to
squeeze gently, but it didn’t. Whoever the hand belonged to was definitely aroused.
She could feel the heavy erection pressing against her back. Teasingly, she
wiggled her butt against him in the hope he’d get the message, but nothing. No
response.
Sun shone in
through large open windows with white billowing curtains as she reveled in
feelings of being turned on.
She turned in the
man’s arms, grateful when he pulled her closer to him. His chest was wide, with
a light smattering of hair, and she pressed her forehead to it as she slid her
hand between them to the waistband of his shorts.
A hand gripped her
wrist. “Don’t,” a voice said gruffly. Hard to get? That was a new one. She
moved closely and pressed a series of soft kisses to his chest. But she could
be that girl. The one who was confident enough to initiate. She licked his nipple
and heard him gasp.
“Delaney, please.
Fuck. Wake up!”
Suddenly the bed
shook. Covers were dragged off her body, and her skin was cold. Then the
realization hit her.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
It wasn’t a dream.
Delaney forced one
eye open and confirmed her worst nightmare. Mac stood naked, apart from a pair
of basketball shorts and a huge erection. And if the tenting was to be
believed, his chest and bicep dimensions weren’t the only muscles that had
grown. His hair was ruffled, standing up every which way as it always used to,
and his eyes told her that she’d woken him up. By attempting to grab his dick.
Dear God. She was going to die.
The
tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by
the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a.
New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we
should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be
bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car
maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running
strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up
in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him.
Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological
signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I
either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
