Excerpt

Summer’s breath came in shallow gasps as she sat still, not feeling she could move even if she wanted to. She was like a bird frozen in the mesmerizing stare of a snake, knowing it was about to be eaten alive but not able to make a move to save its own life.

She moaned and closed her eyes as his lips stroked the sensitive skin then moved to the base of her throat where he licked softly and gently. She didn’t realize that she was still clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hand until she felt his strong fingers pry hers open to pull it away so that he could seduce her palm with his thumb.

“Relax, baby.” He moved his lips up her neck and to her ear.  “You’re so tense. Just relax.”

As he spoke he pushed her back gently into the plush pillows and began to nibble her ear lobe. He gave a lick just behind her ear and shock waves ran down her spine.

“Oh, God,” she breathed, “what are you doing to me?”

“What someone should have done to you a long time ago, Summer Jones,” he whispered.  “Teach you what it means to be a woman.”

He dipped his head and slid his lips back down her neck, over her collar bone and down to that oh, so sensitive place between the curves of her breasts. Here he paused and she held her breath, eyes shut tight, wondering if he was going to stop now. She prayed he wouldn’t.

She was not disappointed. An involuntary gasp escaped her lips as he slipped a warm tongue down her cleavage, sliding it between the orbs and teasing her soft flesh until her body screamed and she felt she would die from the sweet sensation. She grabbed the back of his head and pressed him into her, wanting more of the pleasure, more of the sweetness.

 

HOT SUMMER - LIMERICKS

by Judy Powell

                                                                     

There once was a girl who was hot.

A meek little lamb she was not.

Along came Sir Lance

Who got her to dance

And Summer was hooked on the spot.

Now Lance was intrigued by this girl.

How had she crashed into his world?

Her temper so quick

Gave him such a prick,

He kissed her and made her toes curl.

Then Summer was frozen in shock.

The man she had thought was a rock

Somehow  had a heart.

Would this be the start

Of life filled with love and good luck?

 

And so goes the story of life,

When kisses replace all the strife.

The tables are turned,

The lion has learned

He must have this girl for his wife.

 

So lion and tigress are wed,

And then, my dear readers, to bed.
