This week my teaser is a little longer, so you'll have to forgive me, but I really wanted to share this. It's from my new book, still untitled.

Before long we were settling onto faux
leather couches with caffeinated heaven in a cup. I’d scarcely set my coffee
down when I saw a familiar face come through the door. I ran across to him, jumping
to wrap my arms around his neck, my legs around his waist. Dominic gave me a
scorching kiss, the kind that made my toes curl. As he set me back on my feet,
I turned to find the others staring at me, their jaws agape.
“Girls, this is Dominic. This is
Cleo and Charlotte.”
“I promise I’m not some creeper
who lucked out.” He grinned, throwing an arm around my shoulder and pulling me
tight. I smiled at him as we settled onto a couch.
“Dominic and I have been together
since the third grade.” Noticing some lip gloss smeared on his lips, I reached
up to wipe it away with my thumb.
His rich chuckle sent a wave of
heat through me. “We used to hold hands under the library table.”
Charlotte looked at Cleo and pretended to stick
her finger down her throat with a wink. Cleo just raised one eyebrow at us. “As
long as you don’t start finishing each other’s sentences, he can stay.”
Awwww! They're so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhy do her friends not know him, if they've been together forever? I'm curious to know their background!
ReplyDeleteThey're new friends. It's their first time hanging out.
DeleteI love cute romance scenes! Now I want to see them together more! Have to read this!!!
ReplyDeleteI know. Poor Dominic has gotten sidelined. I think he needs to make more appearances....
DeleteLol, loved that scene! So sweet :0D
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun scene!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bethany!! I am so curious to know more! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I want to know why the big display in front of everyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's just how Violet is. Everything she does is exuberant. And in her defense, she hasn't seen him all day.... ;)
DeleteHahahaha! Loved the last line, perfect use of humor!
