Excerpt of Looks like Trouble to Me by Calinda B

She settled next to him. After a few minutes, she said,
“Jace?”

“Mm hmm.”

“When do we get to…you know?”

“Tell me.”

“When do we get to, um, screw. Fu**. Make love.”

“Someone’s eager.”

“You’re not?”

“I didn’t say that.” He reached for her hand and placed it
on his throbbing
cock. “Does this feel like a guy who doesn’t want to plunge
inside the
woman next to him?”

“Not at all. What are you waiting for?”

“This is foreplay, baby.”

“Foreplay?”

“The art of seduction.”

“What’s that?”

“What we’re doing. I’m seducing you, Jace Savage style.”

“Do you do this often?”

“Seduce Zoé Dubois? No. This is my first time.”

“No, I mean seduce women.”

“Oh, I see where this is headed. We’re back to you vetting
me for my
qualifications as a suitor. Am I a womanizer? A player?
That’s what you’re
asking.”

“Are you?”

“I’ve had my share of women.”

“Have you ever fallen in love?”

“Oh, yes.” He let out a long, slow breath. “And I believe
I’ll do it
again,” he said boldly. Actually, the thought scared the
shit out of him as
evidenced by his madly racing pulse.

“With who?”

“With you, who else?” He kissed her temple tenderly, while
his heart
hammered in his chest.

“How can you be sure?”

“Shhh, Zoé Dubois. Look at the stars. All your needs will
get met, I assure
you. I’m scheming as we lay here.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“I can wait then.”

“Can you?”

“Yes, I can wait with eager anticipation.”

“I like the sound of that. Makes me hot, actually.” Oh,
baby…

“Does it?”

“Oh, yeah. Very. Feel it.” He placed her hand on his cock
again. “Can you
feel how much I ache for you? This is me, longing to be
inside of you.”

“What’s stopping you?”

“Who said I’m stopping? More like savoring. The night is
young.”

“We’re back to the art of seduction, are we?” she said. “Two
can play at
seduction, you know.”

Mmm. Perfect response. He glanced over at her smiling face,
focused on the
stars. “It’s far better with two.”

“Then, game on.”

The simple statement made his cock pulse with joy. “Are you
saying you’re
going to seduce me back?” he said, smiling mischievously.

“I’m saying, two can play. You’re one and I’m one. That
makes two.”

“Understood. Simple math.” He ran his tongue along his teeth
in
anticipation.

They both fell quiet for a while, inhaling the night’s
mystery.

“I’m going to wreck you, you know.”

His voice seemed to hit her like a bullet, causing her to
jerk. “You are?
What does that mean?”

“You’re never going to want anyone else, I’m going to
guarantee that.”

“That’s a pretty bold statement for someone who hasn’t made
a move yet.”

“I want to warn you, is all.”

“I’ve been warned.”

“And you’re not running?”

“You could be all talk.” She shifted next to him. “Actually,
I’m getting
cold. Can we go somewhere warm?”

“Like where?”

“I don’t know. I’ll leave that up to you.”

“Okay.” He looked at her quizzically, wondering if he’d
played this all
wrong.

They bundled up the blanket, picked up the gear and traipsed
out of the
wooded area. He climbed on the bike, and said, “Ready for
you.”

“Good,” she said. She sauntered toward him, took the helmet
from his hands
and set it on the ground.
His eyebrows rose. “Something in mind?”

“Foreplay’s over, baby,” she said. She slid her tight jeans
down, yanked
them off each foot over her shoes, and dropped them on top
of the helmet.

His eyes grew saucer wide. Holy hell. He licked his lips,
all thoughts,
schemes, strategies blown away.
