Rule #1: Don’t fall in love.
As a single dad, my life revolves around my daughter. No complaints…until my ex-wife forces my hand over custody.
I needed a cover story. In steps Katharine Morello. My best friend’s sister is ready and willing to be my fake fiancée.
Overnight we’re engaged. A temporary arrangement.
No sex.
No strings attached.
No complications.
Easy, right?
Not quite. The last few months, I’ve been doing dirty things to her in my imagination. But that’s all they’ll ever be. Fantasies.
Rule #2: Don’t give in to temptation.
Neither of us is looking for a relationship. Been there. Done that. Even drank the Kool-Aid.
So, you see, I can resist beautiful, sexy Katharine. It doesn’t matter she’s hot as f*ck with an amazing personality to boot. All I have to do is NOT touch her.
I’ve got this.
Spoiler Alert…One night make-believe merges with reality. Sparks fly—and burn.
Now I want her. All of her.
Rule #3: See rule #1—don’t fall in love.
Man. Hindsight’s a bitch.
EXCERPT
She moves into my space and tilts her head up, her
eyes light and mischievous.
“Kiss
me, Lucas.”
The
breath leaves my lungs in one gigantic swoosh.
“Are
you sure?”
“Let’s
give them a show.”
I’m
about to kiss Kate.
This
time, I’m prepared.
Clasping
my hands on either side of her face, I angle my head slightly. There’s a pause.
A suspended moment where our eyes meet. The swirl of emotions I see
there—apprehension, lust, desire—makes my heart trip.
We
exchange breath. And then finally, my mouth dips to hers.
I
try to remind myself we’re pretending, to stay calm, and in control.
My
mouth is firm against hers. Her lips are sugar plum sweet and silky soft. The
kiss remains gentle, slow. We hold it for a few seconds before our lips begin
to move in perfect sync, slowly, cautiously.
Curiosity
nudges for more. I move my hand from her cheek to the back of her head, my
fingers tangling in her hair, holding her lips to mine, silently asking for
permission. To my delight, a needy little moan echoes from her mouth to mine.
She wraps her arms around my neck and parts her lips in gentle invitation.
And
our tongues hungrily say hello.
A
stimulating cocktail of endorphins explodes inside me. Sparks fly in every
direction, lighting me up like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Every
single nerve explodes with heat.
I’m
fired up. Turned on.
From
somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind, I know this is a cover, that we
aren’t real, but with Kate’s lips on mine, it’s hard to keep that thought. On a
groan, I take all she has to give and deepen the kiss, forging ahead with no
regrets. No reservations.
Many
tales have been written about the Big Apple. But there’s nothing like kissing
the woman you’ve been thinking about for what feels like forever in the middle
of Manhattan.
The
chaos from the street fades. The worries of the day evaporate like a summer
shower falling onto a hot car, all noise instantly muting. The click-clack of
heels rushes by us. We don’t hear them. People brush against us. We don’t feel
them.
We
are locked in the present, kissing each other as equal partners in passion,
fucking each other with our mouths like we’re drowning and we are each other’s
air, as if our lips were created for this sole purpose.
Talk
about heaven on earth.
This
kiss is easily the hottest, most erotic kiss of my life.
My
pulse patters faster and faster. The heat pouring into my veins as if pumped in
through a hypodermic needle has nothing to do with today’s summerlike
temperature but with desire.
I
move one arm low around her back, drawing her closer, letting her feel every
inch of me, how much she affects me. And we kiss and kiss and kiss.
