![]() The Storm
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: When I finally plucked up a bit of courage, I peeped out of the curtains to see Kieran throwing stones at the window. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” he mock shouted, when he caught my eye. I opened the window to whisper loudly back at him. “Are you high?” I asked. “Why didn’t you just ring the doorbell or call me?” “I thought this would be more romantic,” he said. “If I ignore the fact that my nipples probably have frostbite, I am feeling romanced,” I replied. He looked pained. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “You said ‘nipples’ and now I can’t think of anything else,” he replied, making me smile. “Now I’m down here, what’s the chances of seeing an accidental nip slip?” he asked. “Depends,” I replied. “On what?” he asked. “What’s in the bag?” I said. “Hot chocolate and warm doughnuts,” he said, holding up the bag as if to barter. “Well, I would have said slim to none, but fresh doughnuts might have just tipped the odds in your favour,” I replied. “Yesss!” he said, fist bumping the air in victory. I closed the window and ran to buzz him in. He bounded up the stairwell, his heavy footsteps echoing loudly in the hallway. When he got to my door, he looked me up and down, taking in my short royal blue, silk pyjamas. Dropping the sack, he speared his hands into my hair and pulled me into a kiss that had me melting. Kier didn’t kiss with just his lips; he did it with his whole body. Without shoes on, I was tiny in comparison, but inside of the cage of his huge arms, I felt protected and safe. Despite his size, his lips were so gentle. He didn’t treat me like I was fragile, but like I was precious, as though every touch was one that he was experiencing for the first time and memorizing for later. Feeling bold, I traced the seam of his mouth with my tongue, and when he parted his lips and touched his tongue against mine, I groaned. Every sensation was too much, and not enough. Breathless, he pulled away from me to nuzzle his face in the crook of my neck. I reached up and gently stroked the short hair at the back of his neck, making him sigh. ![]()
