I’m starting to feel all dressed up. Got my cover, my blurb, final edits done, it’s all back from the proofers. Hopefully there’s no run in my stockings! Certainly the cover’s lovely! I bought my own license for it knowing I was going to suggest it to the publisher for the cover – and they did choose it from the three choices I sent

So, about that sneak peek? Okay…let’s look in as Aaron’s started to undress Hallie…but a bit of a warning, first! This excerpt contains sexually explicit scenes and adult language that some may find offensive and that is not appropriate for a young audience.
Aaron kissed her temple. His hand trailed back down, the line of buttons quickly surrendering to him.
Just as she had.
At the fourth button, when the front of her bra was exposed, he groaned and cupped the underside of her breasts. He squeezed them once, roughly, before he hitched the skirt of her dress up to attack the next button. The top of her nylons showed and he stopped at the last button, grabbing the hem of the dress and bunching it in his fists. His lips found her throat again. A kiss followed by a light bite.
The last button flew across the room.
“Sorry, didn’t mean that.”
He sounded almost sheepish and she tried to turn in his arms but he forced her to stay facing the mirror.
“Close your eyes.” He whispered against her cheek. “I won’t last with you looking at me like that.”
Letting him slide the dress from her, Hallie obeyed. The bra was a front clasp and he unhooked it, his thumbs circling her nipples before he stripped the lace and satin from her.
Warning her not to peek, he slid the necklace over her head, one hand caressing her breast while the other positioned the pearl between her cleavage.
“I found this diving in the South Seas.” His hands were at the garter clips. The quiet snap of each clip opening punctuated his syllables. “It’s my favorite gem — a perfect symbol of creation.”
Bending, he ran his hands down her right leg, then her left, as he removed the stockings. “Round, with all the promise of a woman.”
Standing, he cupped her ass, spreading her cheeks and letting his fingertips graze her sex. A second later, the garter skirt was on the floor and he had gathered the sides of her panties in his hands. Instead of pulling them down, he lifted, letting the seam of the crotch rub hard against her clit as he spoke.
“I always think of sex and creation when I see that pearl.” His words, rough in his throat, ended with the tearing of fabric, and then her panties were gone. He moved his hands to her exposed mound. “I still have the shell it was created in…”
He held her labia apart, the tips of his middle fingers toying with the plump head of her clit. “…black lipped.”
Gently pinching the flesh with his fingers, he ran a line from the top split of her pussy to the dangling hood, trapping and tugging at it until her whole body trembled.
“Look in the mirror.”
She opened her eyes slowly, half-ashamed at her complete surrender to his touch. She saw her pussy first, swollen and glistening in its readiness. The pearl hung between her breasts, as black and round as if it were part of her own body.
Or was she an extension of the pearl, with its metal girdle and chain? She looked at the way Aaron held her, his strong arms around her, his hands holding the lips of her sex open, lust seizing her body.
“Do you see what was missing now?”
She nodded, unable to put words to what it was but knowing she could capture it with paints and canvas.
