Synopsis
Excerpt
“Kiss
him, kiss him!” I heard my friends chanting in the distance.
Oh, God. What was I going to do? I couldn’t let them down or I’d never
live it down. I’d come this far. Without over thinking, I blindly ran my
hands over my victim’s face. His skin was soft with a fine layer of
silky stubble, and his features were distinct and defined—a straight,
manly nose; a strong, slightly clefted chin; and above it, a set of
lush, velvety lips. I lingered on his lips, tracing them with my
fingertips, building up the courage to touch down on them with my own.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I’m playing a game of Truth or Dare, and I
have to kiss you.” God, how ridiculous I must sound and look with my
blindfold.
I took my victim’s silence as a sign he was willing to play along. Okay, here goes.
Clutching his angular jaw between my hands, I bent down to kiss him.
But before I could latch my lips onto his, he rose and, in one swift
move, crashed his lips onto mine.
Oh. My. God. A heat wave shot through me. It was one of those kisses
like in a movie. Fierce, delicious, passionate. Opened mouth and oh so
consuming. And he tasted divine—the sweet taste of champagne lacing his
breath. He bit my upper lip, forcing me to part them, and plunged his
warm, velvety tongue inside my mouth. His tongue instantly found mine
and they entwined, dancing like they’d been together forever. He tugged
hard on my ponytail, yanking back my head, and coiled it around his
hand, tearing at my roots. The delicious pain mixed with the delicious
pleasure of his kiss, sending a rush of erotic sensations through me.
Every nerve ending was a sparking fuse. My breathing grew shallow.
Already lightheaded, I was now borderline delirious. I’d never been
kissed by a man like this before. I didn’t want him to stop. What was
wrong with me? I’d just gotten engaged.
In the background, I could vaguely hear my friends cheering and
whistling. “Go, girl!” For sure, head cheerleader Chaz.
My inner voice told me to stop, but no matter how much I willed it, I
couldn’t get my lips to part from his. In fact, I deepened the kiss,
pulling him closer to me by the collar of his shirt. The material felt
expensive, like the gazillion thread Egyptian cotton kind. Everything
about this man tasted and felt divine. He squeezed my ponytail tighter. I
moaned into his mouth and he moaned back. God, the throaty sound of him
was sexy!
And then suddenly, as fast as he had plunged his tongue into my mouth,
he withdrew it. In tandem, he let go of my hair. I gasped, desperate for
more.
“Wait!” I cried out, my hands grappling for him. Instead of finding him,
I found myself knocking over a chilled glass. My heightened sense of
smell told me it was his champagne.
“I’m sorry,” I croaked, struggling to tear off the tight, blinding tie.
“I’ll buy you another.” Finally, I undid the tie. I blinked once. He was
gone, and I was painfully all alone. Where did he go? My eyes
frantically searched the pulsating crowd, darting left and right, but he
was nowhere to be found. Even if he was facing me somewhere, staring
into my eyes, I wouldn’t know it because I didn’t know what he looked
like.
My friends were now all standing and applauding me. I’d lived up to the
dare. Kissed a strange man on the lips. Oh, those lips!
Dazed, I staggered back to the group and dared not tell them how much
I’d enjoyed it. And wanted more.
