THREE LITTLE WORDS

Lauren Hawkeye

Two years ago serious law student Malachi Hunter broke wild child Adele Cavanaugh’s heart. When Mal is thrown back into her life... and she meets Dorian Marshall, a bad boy with a soft spot for her... Adele doesn’t know how to choose just one when they both help to ease her pain.

Excerpt from Three Little Words :

The orange tabby cat followed us home.

I didn’t notice its presence until it leapt ahead of us just as I opened my front door. I watched with bemusement as it stalked into my condo like it had every right to be there.

“Brace yourself,” Dorian said as the cat—who I referred to as Humper in my head—wound her way through my legs.

But she apparently wasn’t interested in me that way. Nuzzling my boot with her whiskers, she looked up at Dorian with what I could only describe as a wicked look went he followed me into the house.

“Christ,” he muttered, fixing Humper with a warning stare. “Don’t even think about it, puss.”

“What about me? Should I think about it?” I asked, turning to eye him up and down. God, but he was beautiful. Those worn jeans hung from lean hips that were so sexy they should have been illegal. His black T-shirt stretched tight over his lean, hard chest, and when he moved his solid biceps made his ink dance.

The look he sent me was pure, smoldering sex. Cupping his hand behind my head, he pulled me to him, crushed his mouth to my own. He kissed me breathless, made my pulse kick up a notch.

Dorian had barely released me when Mal shut the door with the heel of his boot, then pulled me from Dorian’s arms into his. He let me study him for a moment, the boy who was now six feet of hard, sexy man.

“You’ll do as you’re told,” he informed me as he lowered his head to mine. Where Dorian’s kiss had been hot and hard, Mal’s was slow and full of sensual promise.

I felt desire flooding into my pussy, and I squirmed.

This was insane. This was not what normal people did.

And yet I knew that I’d already made up my mind. I needed this. Dorian and Mal had come into my life for a reason.

I’d worked through my pain as best as I could on my own. Now I wanted these two wonderful, amazing men to wipe the dirty memories away, to replace me with something clean.

Well, not too clean.

“Upstairs?” Mal murmured against my lips. I nodded, my pulse skittering. I got the shock of my life when he hefted me into his arms, Gone With The Wind style, and started to carry me up the stairs.

Oh my. That was just... wow.

Strange as this situation was, it was also the most romantic thing I’d ever experienced in my life. And on top of that, I could feel Mal’s muscles working against my body as he carried me, making me want to strip us both naked so that we could be skin to skin.

“Nice move, mate.” Dorian followed us, reaching over Mal’s shoulder to dance his fingers over my hair.

I craved more of their touch. It anchored me in a way that I hadn’t even known I’d been missing.

“Watch out for my roller skates.” I murmured as we reached the top of the stairs. Mal sidestepped them neatly, but Dorian looked at them, then at me with a wicked grin.

“We might use these in the future, love. You, in nothing but the skates.”

I’d always thought I was pretty hard to shock, but Dorian won that game, hands down. My mouth fell open, my cheeks flushing as the erotic image danced across my mind.

“I—” I choked on the words. I was in over my head, desperately treading water and trying to stay afloat.

These two gorgeous creatures were my life preservers. I could hang on to them and let myself go.

About the Author:

Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living... though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book... and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating hey way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

TAKEN BY STORM

Opal Carew

Jessica doesn't like to take risks, but when she's almost run over by a red hot rock musician named Storm on his motorcycle, she realizes that some risks are worth taking.

About the Author:

Hi. I'm Opal Carew and I write erotic romance for St. Martin's Press and Samhain Publishing, and I self-publish stories. I also write romance as Amber Carew.

So why do I like writing erotic romance? I like being able to push beyond traditional boundaries. I like dealing with a female character who is growing and evolving - questioning her sexual boundaries and pushing past them. My stories usually include menage a trois. It is great fun to write a heroine choosing between two equally appealing heroes... or more.

These aren't women who just jump into bed with anyone. They find themselves in an unusual situation - something exciting and erotic - but a situation where they have to push themselves beyond their comfort level. As a result, they grow as a person. So often fear holds us back - of what others will think of us, of what we will think about ourselves - and we don't follow our hearts. These women push past that fear.
