Excerpt:
“It’s okay to be scared. Hell so am I.”
“You are?” she asked, and Sadie nodded. “What are you
afraid of?”
Sadie brought her hand up to Elle’s cheek. “Of losing
you again.”
“You never lost me in the first place,” she whispered,
leaning in and pressing her lips against Sadie’s.
“Jesus Christ, we can never leave them alone.” At the
sound of Derek’s husky voice, they pulled apart, smiling as they turned to the
men standing in the entry way of the living room. “Seriously. If you wait until
we leave the room to start kissing, we’ll never get to watch.”
“Is watching all you want to do?” Sadie asked,
standing up and walking over to him. She placed her hand on his chest, let it
slide down to the front of his pants, and gripped his noticeable bulge. “Seems
like you want to do more than just watch.”
“Oh, baby, you have no idea what I want to do to you,”
he groaned, just before he kissed her.
“Oy, not yet!” Callum laughed, pulling them apart.
“Food first, sex second.”
“Assuming there is sex later.” Elle smirked as she
stood up. The wounded expressions on Derek and Callum’s faces had her chortling.
“Wow, you two are so cute when you’re bubble has been busted.”
“I didn’t mean to just assume that we’d be having
sex,” Callum said, sounding flustered.
Elle walked over to him, placed her hand on his chest,
and leaned up on her toes so that her lips were just outside of his ear. “Never
said there wouldn’t be any, either,” Elle cooed, causing him take a deep
breath. “But I’m starving. So no food, no sex.”
“Then we’d better eat,” he moaned, almost dragging her
into the dining room with Derek and Sadie following.
