help but want to kiss. The moonlight brought out the roughness of his features, making him appear dangerous. And totally sexy. She found herself leaning closer to him, angling her chin so that their lips were millimeters away. His warm breath fanned against her, minty, with just the slightest scent of alcohol. She knew he wasn’t drunk; he’d only taken two sips of the beer she’d brought him. Which meant that Zack Creighton, in all his sober, magnificent glory, wanted to have sex with her.
And God help her, but the feeling was mutual.
“One night,” she blurted out.
He tilted his head. “Huh?”
“I don’t want to get involved with you.” She inhaled, hoping to bring some much-needed oxygen to her lungs. “This will just be a one-night thing.”
“Whatever you say.” He winked. He actually
winked
. Before she could weasel a promise out of him that this wouldn’t go beyond one night, he kissed her.
Mouth crushing over hers. Lips rubbing against hers. Hot, wet tongue thrusting inside her mouth without invitation. Hands down it was the most erotic kiss she’d ever had. Deep and greedy, fast and passionate.
Zack’s stubble chafed her chin, the rough sensation making her moan against his lips.
God, his mouth felt nice.
Really nice.
Flicking his tongue over hers, he shoved his hand under her shirt and palmed one breast, rubbing her nipple with the pad of his thumb. Then, to her dismay, he broke the kiss.
“Why are you stopping?” she complained.
“I’m not.” Without another word, he lifted the tank top right over her head and tossed it aside. A second later, he lowered his head and covered her breast with his mouth.
A gasp tore out of her throat. Now she understood the reason for the incessant moaning that had come out of Mari’s bedroom when she’d
dated Zack. The man’s tongue was…lethal. Skilled. He licked the underside of one breast and kissed his way up to her nipple, rubbing his lips against it and then sucking it hard into his mouth. It was a tongue that refused to stop. Licking, swirling, gliding down to her navel, and circling her bellybutton. And soon his hands came into play once more. They tugged at the zipper of her Capris and slid it down with a metallic hiss. He peeled the pants off her tanned legs, threw them aside and dropped to his knees in front of her.
“What do you want, Hailey?”
His voice teased her, mocked her. It was too confident, too heavy with sexual promise, but she couldn’t muster enough indignation to respond with. Truth was, his confidence excited her.
“You know what I want,” she returned, feeling bold as she widened her legs.
He reached out and brushed his fingers over the damp crotch of her black bikini panties. “You want me to stroke you?”
“Uh-huh,” she breathed.
“Suck on your clit?”
“Mmm-hmmm.”
“Make you come?”
“God, yes.”
She swallowed and tried not to cry out. Her body ached, actually ached for this man. He continued to kneel there, planting featherlight caresses on her pussy, and to make it worse, he was still fully dressed!
Here she was, her breasts bare, her nipples painfully hard, her panties practically begging to be flung aside, and Zack was still in jeans and a Tshirt and looking unhurried to remove them.
“I’m curious, sweetheart,” he said, stroking her with one hand. “Do you come fast or slow?”
“Huh?” She tried to focus but it was difficult seeing as his fingers kept pressing against her clit that way.
“If I took these panties off and pressed my tongue between your legs, would you come right away?” He shot her a small grin. “Or are you the
type who prolongs the pleasure and tries to control your orgasm?” He emphasized his last word by rubbing lazy circles over her clit.
“I come fast, Zack,” she choked out.
He nodded. “Not tonight, Hailey.”

extremely personal electronics turn one night’s wild ride into a trip to last
forever?
Catching a Buzz
© 2007 Ally Blue
Adam Holderman isn’t your typical twenty-something college boy. He prefers jazz to Goth, shuns body piercings and street-waif clothing, and despises the lack of vocabulary among his peers. Some call him uptight, but Adam doesn’t see it that way. Just because he prefers his men articulate and well-groomed doesn’t make him a stick-in-the-mud. He simply has standards, unlike most guys his age. The new employee at Wild Waters Park, where Adam works, singlehandedly throws a monkey wrench into Adam’s orderly world view. Buzz Stiles wears eyeliner and black clothes, listens to emo bands, and talks like a teenage skate punk. He’s the polar opposite of Adam’s avowed
“type”. So why can’t Adam get him out of his head?
When Adam finally agrees to go out with Buzz, he finds there’s much more to Buzz than a hot body, a sharp wit, and a Goth fashion sense. Buzz is someone Adam can see himself being with for the long haul. But you need more than mind-melting sex to make a relationship last. Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to find out if they have what it takes?

Does a full moon really cause naughty behavior?
Bad Moon Rising
© 2007 Leeanne Kenedy
Hailey Burke has heard that full moons cause people to behave in strange ways, but she never thought it would apply to her until the night she winds up in bed with a man she doesn’t even like.

Wrong.

He’s liked the sassy redhead from the moment he met her, but he can’t get the stubborn woman to let go of the misconceptions she’s formed about him. Sure, he’s played the field, but Zack is no womanizer, and he has no intention of leaving things at one night. Once he’s had a taste of Hailey, he wants another. And he’s determined to convince her that he’s not the bad boy she’s always thought.
