EXCERPT
* desire's kiss *

(Setting - Douglass and Vanora are on another world and time is opening doors.)

The second stone clicked against the cave wall. Vanora shrugged. "What do you mean?"

Douglass turned his vigilant gaze on the royal tart he wished to sample. Soft and silky hair sparkled as the movement of her small hand pushed it behind her shoulder. Her shapely figure beckoned his touch. Desire for her stirred his blood as lust ignited his hunger. "I mean a man."

She scrambled to her feet, moved to the cave entrance and peered outside. The downpour hadn't lessened. "No."

His stealth unsurpassed, he stood and strode to stand behind her. The deep timbre of his voice pitched to seduce, he whispered, "Consider me."

Vanora pivoted and bumped into a wall of solid muscle. Her heart skipped a beat and her breath hitched in her throat. His forward step pinned between her between a wall and his powerful body danced. Shivers down her spine as the emanated heat scattered gooseflesh over her skin. "I-I don't know what you mean-"

Douglass framed her face with his hands and lowered his mouth. The tender brush of his lips across hers seared him to the core. "Consider me for whatever reason a woman may need a man." His oral embrace passionate, he slid his hands down her shoulders, around her waist and bound her against his body while he deepened their kiss. Her soft sensuous figure pressed against him ignited an inferno in his veins.

She pushed her hands against his chest, but lacked the strength to escape. The feel of his muscles against her palms coursed heat through her very soul. Desire melded her against the dark lord. His arms pulled her closer and she whimpered into his mouth.

He eased his hand down her back to rest on her hip. Fire enveloped his soul. Her body destined to be next to his, entwined with his, bound to his, he loved the taste of this royal tart who quelled a long burning inferno he once considered insatiable.

Vanora broke their kiss and staggered back. Her mind whirled, her heart pounded and her senses swam in a sea of wild sensations.
