This week’s theme is explosions. I’m using artistic license this week. LOL – my excerpt from Sex, Spies and Sapphires includes the word “explode”…
Sex, Spies and Sapphires by Shelley Munro
“Kiss me.”
“I’ve never met anyone as bossy as you before.”
“And you like it,” she retorted. “You like a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it.”
She wasn’t wrong. Her independent streak and sassy mouth were the first things he’d noticed about her. Once again he thanked his lucky star for arranging their paths to cross.
“Are you just going to stare at me with a dopey smile? If Mr. Mark saw it, he’d demote you in an instant.”
She smirked. “I might suggest he promotes Chester to your job. Chester is so cute.”
Thomas moved so quickly she squealed. He whipped her over his knee and applied his hand to her naked backside. “Take it back.”
“Make me,” she said, laughter lurking in her husky voice. Sarah turned her head so she could see his face and pursed her lips. “I dare you.”
Little vixen. She knew just how to push him, which buttons would make him explode into action. He fondled her buttocks with his large hands, fascinated by the color contrasts in their skins. Sarah was pale where he was darker, tanned from spending time outdoors. Thomas bent to place a kiss in the middle of one pale buttock before leaning back against the headboard and slapping her ass.
“Oh!” she said with a squeak.
“Is that daring enough for you?”
Sarah waggled her ass. “Do it again.”
Shaking his head and laughing at the same time because of her outrageousness, he applied his hand again. The crack when hand met flesh was loud even though he hadn’t hit her hard. A rush of blood to her butt cheeks made them glow a soft pink. Sarah squirmed a little, the wriggling moves rubbing against the flared head of his penis. Thomas bit back a groan, knowing if he loosed the sound, Sarah would construe it as a weakness and think she’d won in this battle of wills. Thomas was determined to come out victor, just as he was determined to get his hands on the sapphire before Sarah. He knew she was after it even though they hadn’t discussed the matter.
He tapped her ass again, letting his hand linger on her stinging flesh to savor the heat. Sarah lifted into his hand and rubbed. The minx created a kiss of friction across his erection with the sly move, wringing a chuckle from him.
“What am I going to do with you?” he asked, his voice close to a groan.
“Love me,” she said. “You’re going to love me.”
He was doomed. Absolutely doomed.
