Excerpt:
TEMPERATURE
RISING by Cathryn Fox
The
room was dark and smoky, the warm tang of sex hanging heavy in the air.
With
a strawberry daiquiri in hand, Delilah Morgan spun around on her vinyl padded
bar stool, her glance taking in the Friday night crowd as they relaxed at The
Hose, a local watering hole where the firefighters from station 419 regularly
gathered for a game of eight ball.
Her
salacious glance stopped to linger on three sexy firefighters working their way
around the pool table, their athletic bodies, low riding jeans and tight
backsides sending her thoughts in an erotic direction. As she took pleasure in the delicious sight
before her, hot flames licked up her thighs, her skin burning hotter than
molten lava.
She
watched them a moment longer, and when their teasing jibes and raucous laughter
drifted past her ears, the rich sound resonated through her body and pulled a
shiver from deep within. Her pussy
moistened with want, and she squeezed her thighs together, secretly enjoying
the pulsing sensations tugging at her core, but there was nothing she could do
to hide the telltale hardening of her nipples or suggestive way they scraped
against her light, summer dress.
When
the front door opened, Delilah drew a fuelling breath and strove to pull
herself together. Thankful for the
distraction she twisted sideways on her stool, hoping her blind date had
finally arrived, but when she spotted the town’s youngest fire chief darkening
the doorway, a man whose reputation preceded him, awareness prowled through her
bloodstream and spiked her temperature from simmer to inferno.
Looking
like sex incarnate in his fire resistant pants and suspenders, his heavy coat
thrown over one broad shoulder, the man was every woman’s fantasy come
true. Fiery blue eyes scanned the
establishment, then using slow sexy movements he angled his head her way. When their eyes met and locked her pussy
creamed in heated response and all she could think about was how that hard body
of his would feel moving over hers, how that sensuous mouth would feel on her
skin, and how his rock hard cock would feel ravaging her pussy, fucking her in
a way no man had ever fucked her before.
She licked her suddenly dry lips, taking in his confident, bad boy
attitude and the suggestive look in his eyes as they moved over her body—a look
that held all kinds of erotic possibilities.
There
was no question that he had a raw sexuality about him, one that made Delilah
ache deep in her core. But since he also
had trouble written all over him, she turned away before he could see her tight
nipples beneath the low cut dress she’d purchased for this occasion—a dress,
she hoped, would seduce her blind date so she could finally fulfill a lifelong
fantasy.
Even
though she had her back to the fire chief, she could still feel him, feel his
hot gaze on her body as he cut across the wide expanse of floor. She took another sip of her drink to cool the
heat zinging through her veins, but when he stepped up to her, pressed his warm
mouth against her ear and said, “The name’s Jonah,” it was all she could do not
to go up in a burst of flames. His heat
reached out to her and when she pulled his rich, spicy scent into her lungs,
everything in her gut said he was the man, the only man, who could help
extinguish the long burning fire inside her.
But
he was dangerous, she reminded herself.
Dangerous.
She
sucked in air, his nearness making her breathless. “I know who you are,” she managed to get out
as her pussy quivered with hunger, begging her to lay herself bare and let this
man take her to places she’d never been before.
He
dropped his coat onto the counter, grabbed her stool and spun her around until
she faced him. When she gripped the
counter, his gaze flickered over her left hand, stopping to note the tan line
of her ring finger.
“And
I know who you are, Mrs. Morgan.”
Something about the way he said Mrs, told her he was testing the sound
of it on his lips, savoring the sensations as it rolled off the soft blade of
his tongue.
As
he invaded her space, he raked his fingers through his dark, mussed hair and
looked past her shoulder to peruse the room. “Are you here alone?”
With
her body trembling from his close proximity, she shot a glance toward the front
door, “Yes. No. I don’t know.”
A
knowing grin pulled at his lips. “Well,
which is it?” he asked, the heat between them undeniable as he inched closer,
his warm breath doing the most delicious things to her libido.
“You’re
either alone or you’re not.” His rough voice played down her spine like liquid
fire but before she could give him an answer, he dropped onto the stool beside
her and in a bold move that took her by
surprise, hauled her to her feet and pulled her between his thighs. As he created a delicious friction between
their bodies, dark passion danced in his eyes.
“I
don’t think he’s…coming, sweetheart.”
Delilah’s
skin came alive as that one suggestive word bounce around inside her head like
a pinball and with the way his cock was pressing against her pussy, only a thin
cotton dress separating skin from skin, it had her wanting to throw caution to
the wind, to indulge in a wild night with a man who clearly knew his way around
a woman’s body. The way his big hands
were curling around her hips, dipping closer and closer to the moist juncture
between her legs was a testament to his bedroom skills.
His
eyes fixed on her mouth and his lips twisted in a half smile, making him look
edgy, wild, and oh so tempting. “Want to
get out of here?” he asked.
What books have most
influenced your life most?
I always find this a hard question to
answer, because I read across all genres and can’t say for certain which book
has most influenced my life. I love all
the classic love stories as much as I love Stephen King’s horror.
Do you see writing as a
career?
Absolutely. I work pretty much seven days a week. When I’m not at the computer writing new
words, I’m thinking about plot, characters, my next story!
What is the biggest
surprise you found while writing this book?
I was surprised by how quickly the story
idea came to me and how fast I wrote it.
There are certain points in a story where I always struggle, but these
characters really spoke to me. I
absolutely love this short story, and hope readers fall in love with my
characters as much as I have!
Favorite setting to
write?
I absolutely love a contemporary novel
set in a small town. There is something
about small town’s that really speak to me, so I use them in my stories
whenever I can.
