Note: I will pick one lucky winner from all the
comments to receive a box of heart-shaped chocolate
truffles so you can celebrate Valentine’s Day right away.
So what if a calendar says certain days are
celebrated on certain dates? Sometimes they need more than twenty-four hours. I
mean, July 4th celebrates the independence of the United States but we really
celebrate it all year long in a number of ways, right? So why not Valentine’s
Day?
Ever since the Middle Ages when
Geoffrey Chaucer first associated the day with love and courting, it’s become a
time for lovers to express their feelings for each other—through flowers. Small
gifts. Special dates. Hot sex! Why, then, limit it to one day a year? Shouldn’t
every day present us with those opportunities? I mean, would you want to wait for one day a year just
to have your fantasy come true? A hot guy take you on a dream date? Have the
hottest sex of your life?
So this is my banging the drum
to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the summer, when long days bring us lazy nights
to indulge ourselves in every fantasy.
I’ll
bet Kylie Monroe would have given anything to be celebrating in the middle of
summer instead of a winter snowstorm. Have you read her story in Lust Becomes You? It’s part of the very
hot, very sex The Edge series, and
you’ll want to read every one of them.
But
about Kylie—she fell in love, and in lust, with Sam Cooper, reaching new heights
of ecstasy as they explored the world of BDSM. She foresaw a rich life together
filled with love and erotic sex. When Sam dumped her to pursue success in the
legal field, telling her there was “always tomorrow,” she never quite recovered
from the hurt.Ten years later, Kylie’s still gun-shy in the love department and
frustrated in the sex department. Nobody could replace Sam. Then on a snowy
Valentine’s Day she has an unexpected opportunity to reconnect with him. But
Sam had a real challenge persuading her their love is real this time? Could he
woo her back with the kind of sex she’d been missing?
Excerpt:
“Hey, Kylie. What brings you
out on a night like this?” Valentino hollered to her from behind the counter
where he was wrapping wine and chocolates. “Valentine’s Day and romance, like
everyone else?” he laughed. “I love it.”
No wonder. Valentino’s Gourmet
Food and Wine Shoppe was packed with smiling people besotted with that stupid
guy in diapers. What the hell was she doing here, anyway, with all these people
who thought celebrating a guy in a diaper was romantic.
Buying
you’re annual bottle of chocolate wine, the kind you and Sam drank, and weeping
over it like some idiot.
The shop was jammed tonight,
people everywhere looking over the Valentine’s food basket specials and the cutesy
little wine wrappers and cork screws special for the day. In the wine tasting
corner people were sampling the specials of the day while others nibbled on
tiny crackers and gourmet cheese while they waited their turn in line. It was
enough to make you sick.
“Hey, Val,” she heard one of
the clerks shout. “We making deliveries tonight?”
“Now? You gotta be kidding me.
The driving’s so bad I told the kid to go home after his last stop. Who is it,
anyway?”
“Sam . He wants a half a dozen
bottles of that chocolate wine.”
“What?”
Kylie froze in place. Sam ? In
this city? If he was ordering chocolate wine it had to be her Sam.
Hers? He hadn’t been hers in
forever. Not since their last time together when he’d said they needed to get
settled in their careers before getting into anything serious. Funny. She’d
thought they were already serious. Just hearing his name made desire throb in
her pussy and her nipple harden. Even after all this time she could feel the
familiar sting of the flogger on her ass. She’d never mentioned her desire for
BDSM to any of the men she’d tried to be interested in. They’d run as fast as
they could. But god, she missed it. And Sam.
Was he married? Single?
Engaged? Did he even remember her?
Without thinking she hurried
over pushed her way through the crowd to Val.
“I’ll deliver the wine for
you.”
Val was so startled he almost
dropped the bottles he was wrapping. “Kylie, it’s freezing out and we’re
expecting more snow. Besides, I don’t expect my customers to fill in for my
delivery guy.”
“Where does he live? Is it
far?”
The people in line were
groaning their dissatisfaction at the interruption.
“Only in the next block, but–“
“I know him. I think. Is he a
lawyer?”
Val nodded as he continued to
wrap and sack purchases.
A lawyer. Sam . Chocolate wine.
It had to be the right one.
“Well, then. It will give me a
good chance to say hello.” She forced a smile. “Really. Okay?”
He shrugged. “I think you’re
crazy but if that’s what you want you got it.” He looked over his shoulder to
the clerk still holding the phone. “Tell him his order’s on the way.”
She button up her coat again
and wrapped her scarf tightly. Pulled her gloves on and took the tote bag from
the clerk who’d gotten it ready.
