Excerpt
“Kiss him, kiss him!” I heard my friends
chanting in the distance.
Oh, God. What was I going to do? I couldn’t
let them down or I’d never live it down. I’d come this far. Without over
thinking, I blindly ran my hands over my victim’s face. His skin was soft with
a fine layer of silky stubble, and his features were distinct and defined—a
straight, manly nose; a strong, slightly clefted chin; and above it, a set of
lush, velvety lips. I lingered on his lips, tracing them with my fingertips,
building up the courage to touch down on them with my own.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I’m playing a
game of Truth or Dare, and I have to kiss you.” God, how ridiculous I must
sound and look with my blindfold.
I took my victim’s silence as a sign he was
willing to play along. Okay, here goes. Clutching his angular jaw between my
hands, I bent down to kiss him. But before I could latch my lips onto his, he
rose and, in one swift move, crashed his lips onto mine.
Oh. My. God. A heat wave shot through me.
It was one of those kisses like in a movie. Fierce, delicious, passionate.
Opened mouth and oh so consuming. And he tasted divine—the sweet taste of
champagne lacing his breath. He bit my upper lip, forcing me to part them, and
plunged his warm, velvety tongue inside my mouth. His tongue instantly found
mine and they entwined, dancing like they’d been together forever. He tugged
hard on my ponytail, yanking back my head, and coiled it around his hand,
tearing at my roots. The delicious pain mixed with the delicious pleasure of
his kiss, sending a rush of erotic sensations through me. Every nerve ending
was a sparking fuse. My breathing grew shallow. Already lightheaded, I was now
borderline delirious. I’d never been kissed by a man like this before. I didn’t
want him to stop. What was wrong with me? I’d just gotten engaged.
In the background, I could vaguely hear my
friends cheering and whistling. “Go, girl!” For sure, head cheerleader Chaz.
My inner voice told me to stop, but no
matter how much I willed it, I couldn’t get my lips to part from his. In fact,
I deepened the kiss, pulling him closer to me by the collar of his shirt. The
material felt expensive, like the gazillion thread Egyptian cotton kind.
Everything about this man tasted and felt divine. He squeezed my ponytail
tighter. I moaned into his mouth and he moaned back. God, the throaty sound of
him was sexy!
And then suddenly, as fast as he had
plunged his tongue into my mouth, he withdrew it. In tandem, he let go of my
hair. I gasped, desperate for more.
“Wait!” I cried out, my hands grappling for
him. Instead of finding him, I found myself knocking over a chilled glass. My
heightened sense of smell told me it was his champagne.
“I’m sorry,” I croaked, struggling to tear
off the tight, blinding tie. “I’ll buy you another.” Finally, I undid the tie.
I blinked once. He was gone, and I was painfully all alone. Where did he go? My
eyes frantically searched the pulsating crowd, darting left and right, but he
was nowhere to be found. Even if he was facing me somewhere, staring into my
eyes, I wouldn’t know it because I didn’t know what he looked like.
My friends were now all standing and
applauding me. I’d lived up to the dare. Kissed a strange man on the lips. Oh,
those lips!
Dazed, I staggered back to the group and dared
not tell them how much I’d enjoyed it. And wanted more.
