And now for today's Sunday Smooch from Playing Dirty.......
Val King. Oh shit.
Coach has one hard and fast rule: Never, ever date (much less f*ck ten ways to Sunday) his daughter. And not only did Kyle break that rule, but he wants to break it over and over again. In the shower. Against a wall. On every flat surface in his home.
But the coach and his daughter share more than just DNA. Their issues run deep and fooling around with her could widen the family chasm. And get Kyle benched for life.
So why can’t he stop thinking about her? Flirting with her? Suggesting they date for real and damn the consequences?
Scene set-up
Val has just let Kyle pick her up in a bar. She knows he's her father's star new recruit to the Sydney Smoke rugby team, but he has no clue she's his boss's daughter.
And that she's a whole lotta off limits.
She's gone back to his place for some sexy fun times because it is her birthday and because its the ultimate screw you to her father. She knows she's going to hate herself in the morning but right now is all that matters. Right now and their first kiss....
Touch.
She had to touch him. A distant siren wailed in through the open glass doorway.
A wise person might have taken it as some kind of portent, but Val was too far
gone to pay any heed.
She took the one step required to
bring her body up against his and swore she heard the sizzle as her nipples came
into contact with the smooth hardness of his chest. She certainly heard the
quick, rough intake of his breath. Rising to her toes, she slid her hands
around his neck, their mouths so very, very close.
But there were parts of them that
were closer. Val was excruciatingly aware that only two scraps of fabric were
keeping them decent, and the hard ridge of his erection was pressing against
the screamingly sensitive flesh between her legs.
It took all her willpower not to
grind against him. As if he knew it, his hands came to rest in the small of her
back, his fingers splaying again, pressing her closer.
“I think it’s time—” She stopped to
draw in a ragged breath. There wasn’t enough air in her lungs when she was this
close to him. “For my birthday kiss.”
His mouth was so close it almost
brushed against hers as his lips broke into a smile. “I think it’s past time.”
“Okay. Don’t move,” she whispered.
“Let me.”
He didn’t move. He stayed perfectly
still as she fitted her mouth to his. So still she could feel the tension of his
neck muscles and the rigidity of his abs and quads, the steel band of his hands
in her lower back. But he let her lead, standing passively in the circle of her
arms as she nibbled and tasted his mouth, her tongue licking along the seam of
his lips. They parted under her probe, and she moaned triumphantly as she
tasted beer.
Val’s senses swam with it, and she
pulled back, temporarily overloaded. By him, by who he was, by what she was
doing. She shut her eyes as she ran her tongue over her lips, savouring his
taste, humming her approval. Her eyes fluttered open to find him watching her
intensely.
“That was…sweet.”
“Sweet?” He made a low, growly
noise at the back of his throat. “Fuck that.”
He
kissed her then. Really kissed her. A proper birthday kiss. Nothing sweet about it. Not one little bit.
It was hard and fast and dirty, the
power of it crowding her backwards. Back, back, back until her ass and shoulder
blades hit the wall. Val barely noticed as his tongue—his clever, clever tongue
every bit as good as he’d promised—took full possession. A hand slid under her
hair, clamping at her nape while his mouth roved over hers, twisting and
turning and demanding that she answer him back with the same fervour.
And she did. God help her, she did.
Every desperate breath she sucked in around the demands of his mouth was full
of him.
Full of beer and voodoo. Heady.
Intoxicating her beyond all reason.
It was the kind of kiss that
belonged in a movie. That was hot and effortless and arousing. That made the
audience tingle and sigh and yearn. Made
them pull over the car on the way home for a quickie.
As abruptly as it’d started, it
stopped, and Val was thankful for the solid presence of the wall behind her as
her knees almost went from under her.
“Better?”
She could hardly hear him above the
hammer of her heart, let alone form coherent words. She made some kind of
nonsensical noise instead, which he clearly took for agreement.
“Good.” He slid his hands to the
backs of her thighs and lifted her. “Plenty more where that came from.”
Thanks for reading folks! I thought you all might appreciate a picture of my feet! Faces are so boring :-)

Woohoo Amy what a smooch I do have this one waiting for me on my kindle and have been looking forward to Val's story from the start it is going to rock.
ReplyDeleteThese days a nice glass of Moscato for me although when I am cruising I also love a cocktail or two :)
Have Fun
Helen
Nothing like a cruise cocktail, Helen!
DeleteSeriously, I love this so much. Used to be: ice cold champagne. Now, it's a goody-two-shoes soda, lime and bitters. I wouldn't mind Val's martini, though! 🍸
ReplyDeleteYou’re being soooooo good!
DeleteOoh, smokin' smooch, Amy! Can't wait to hunker down with Val's story. As for my tipple of choice... It's a truth universally acknowledged that I like nearly *all* the things. ;-) But, today, in honor of Kyle, I'll choose a schooner of New. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol, sounds good to me, Michelle!
DeleteGin & tonic!
ReplyDeleteNom nom
DeleteSad to say, it was actually Shirley Temples until I got diabetes. Now I can only drink beer. (Better than nothing.)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, "... In the shower. Against a wall. On every flat surface in his home...." You certainly got my attention with this. Hubba hubba!
Glad you liked, Laney 😍
DeleteAmy, that's one spicy smooch! Enough to make any reader want to grab the book and forget what else they were doing. Hm, these days it's a glass of wine for me though when I travel I like to try the local speciality.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Annie. That’s one of the best bits about travelling - partaking in the local cuisine.
DeleteSo looking forward to this one! I have loved them all, & so glad Val gets a guernsey! I drink rye whiskey, red wine & champagne. Cocktails I like a Boulevardier (Negroni with rye) who am I kidding - I drink almost anything!
ReplyDeletelol, Linda. A woman after my own heart!
DeleteOh yes, lots of fresh mint, Lyn?
