.Powerful words, almost as heady as his kisses.She knew about that pinch-in-the-chest thing.Had to be too soon for them to be feeling it.But anything was possible.“Ivy.” There, he’d said her name again like a mantra.“I want you.”“Have me.” Please, have me already.He kissed her, slid his hand inside her shirt, his cool thumb inside her bra.Her already-peaked nipple ached with his touch, itched for more.He managed to unbutton her blouse with the other hand while nuzzling a trail down to her waistband.In true pro fashion, he got her jeans undone with no trouble and helped her shimmy them down, off her legs.Her panties followed, and he did something else she remembered from Saturday…did it well, did it long, his breath humming against her until she squirmed, tensed, let go with silent shudders, shivers, tingles.Shallow breaths and finally normal.He moved away to undress and stretched back on top of her, a condom crinkling in his hand as he nuzzled her neck.His breath in her ear made her wriggle.“I just need a minute,” he murmured.“Got plans to make this last, make it memorable.But I need a second to…well, back off and think of something else.Ya know?”She slid her hands over the corded muscles in his back.Man, he must spend some serious time on that home gym in the back corner of the shop.God, he smelled so good, felt so fine all pressed rock-hard along her from head to toe…well, maybe a little more rock-hard right there against her thigh… Her pulse rate shot up.He’d given her an awesome orgasm, but she seriously needed him, inside her, like, yesterday.“Let’s go now.Fast, hard.” She clenched handfuls of his butt and arched against him.“Now.”He raised up on his elbows and looked into her eyes.Those smoldering eyes of his were even more sexy when he was crazy aroused.He kissed her, smooth, long, deep, thrusting his tongue inside her, a mock-motion she needed for real down below.He broke the kiss and bent to put on the condom just when she was going to beg for penetration.“I should be good at this,” he said as he slid into her.“I’ve done it in my imagination about a thousand times since Sunday morning.”He filled her and held there, staring down.Oh, the eye contact with this stud! Wasn’t that one of those intimacy techniques? It worked, though.She felt so connected, beyond the physical.Was he trying to delay? Did that work for him, the staring, as a means to get his control back? Because the connection made her more hot and bothered, with no control over her rushing blood, her throbbing ladyparts…her thrusting hips.“Fuck, fuck,” he muttered, threading his arms tight behind her, his face in her hair, against her neck, around her ear.He throbbed inside her, but held still.“Ivy.Sweet God.Ivy.” A small withdrawal and then he shoved in deeper, harder.Again faster.Shuddering, he groaned, tensed, ground deep within and made her clutch him tighter as he rocked her world again.His breaths were ragged in her ear.She waited for him to relax, goosebumps rising along her skin.Yeah, she’d definitely remember this.“Hey,” she whispered.“I’ve got another pickup line.Let’s make like fabric softener and Snuggle.”His chest shook with a laugh, and then he pushed up so they had eye contact again.“Got one I never thought I’d use.” He rubbed his fingers over his eyes and took a deep breath.“Hey baby, you got a BandAid? Cause I just scraped my knee falling for you.”About Autumn PiperBorn and raised in Colorado, Autumn Piper writes contemporary romance, many of them set in her hometown of Rifle.Though she has a penchant for making characters suffer, her hero and heroine always get the happily-ever-after they so deserve.Autumn writes amid (or despite) a husband, two teens, two cats, a box turtle, and a jungle of Jurassic-size houseplants.She loves sunny days, hot bread, the ocean, the Joans (Jett and Rivers), that fluttery-inside feeling from the first spark of a great romance and enjoys reading, gardening, morning walks, and making people laugh.Find Autumn at:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Autumn-Piper/Twitter: https://twitter.com/AutumnPiperAuthHer site: http://www.autumnpiper.com/Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/autumnpiperauth/Other Lyrical Press books by Autumn:Trouble Won’t Wait: http://lyricalpress.com/trouble-wont-wait/Lone Star Trouble: http://lyricalpress.com/lone-star-trouble/Trouble Under Venus: http://lyricalpress.com/trouble-under-venus/Fallen Star Trouble: http://lyricalpress.com/fallen-star-trouble/In His EmbraceContemporary romance by Wendy ElyWhen life's glow threatens to die in a person, love's light guides the way.Tori expected Friday to be completely ordinary: a quick goodbye to her best friend who was going away on a business trip for the weekend, a routine checkup at her doctor's office, and the rest of the day filled with work.But she was wrong.Ben's hand rested on her hips a little longer than usual during their goodbye, igniting sparks she'd tried to ignore for years, and then her tests came back abnormal.Scared and alone, she wishes for one person’s hand to hold–Ben's.He is trying to make it back before her next doctor visit, but can he?Chapter 1Tori Welsh sat on the black suede couch and rested her sock-covered feet next to a pile of celebrity magazines on the glass coffee table top
