As a lover of cryptozoology I’m irritated by the fact my last name is the same as an obnoxious author who writes debunking books. The man has no soul. I’ve even had others accuse me of being him. So when I finally make it to Loch Ness he’s there and we’ve been mistakenly booked into the same room. I’m so ready to give him a piece of my mind.
Then he turns around. My mind goes blank, and my knees turn to mush. Tingles cover me everywhere. He could be my ideal fantasy. If only he believed.
Owen
Seeking the truth about myths and monsters has provided me a substantial bank account but I’m done pretending I don’t believe. Joining a tour of Nessie watchers is my last gig as a debunker. Due to an error, I’m forced to share the last available room with a beautiful woman who challenges every statement I make with passionate conviction.
I listen to her words but all I want to do is kiss her lush lips into silence and explore the rising passion between us. I need to get to know her better. A lot better.
It’s time to get what I want, so I ease back and wrap my fists in the front of his shirt, crushing the body-warmed cotton. With a grin I fill with wicked intent, I push him back against the door and rise to my toes. “I’ve waited all day for this.”
“All day? Didn’t we start out the day with you being angry with me?”
He’s right and I straighten my spine to make my confession. “I was trying to hang on to the anger. I felt betrayed while at the same time knew that was a totally silly reaction. Some of my confusion…” I duck my head and press my forehead against his chest. “Some of it was because I was attracted to you.”
“Was?”
Lifting my gaze I hope he sees the truth in my eyes. “Am. Even more than I was this morning. I’ve thought about this moment most of the afternoon. Now. Now it’s time.”
With deliberate efficiency I press a kiss to his firm lips. They part slightly and from the tiny jerks of his muscles I’m sure I’ve surprised him. Sighing at the twin points of pressure of my sensitive nipples against his chest, I squirm, attempting to increase the pleasure. His firm length twitches against my lower belly but I sense he’s holding back, allowing me to take control.
My mouth moves against him and I press closer. “Owen,” I moan. “You’re not kissing me back.”
