EXCERPT:
“I
bought you a present. Would you like to open me?” I posed provocatively in the
doorway.
After
my luxurious shower, I’d lathered up in body lotion and slipped on the sheer
blue sex magnet. The sapphire fabric draped and clung to my breasts. Three wide
ribbons of blue satin wound their way around my rib cage and tied in a little
bow just above my pubic bone. The effect was my lean body wrapped up in blue
ribbons…like a sexy present. The tiny satin thong didn’t cover much, but looked
pretty…To add some modesty for dinner, I’d wrapped a silky blue sarong around
my hips. A pair of inky blue stilettos finished off my look. I’d pinned my hair
up into long, loose curls like Giselle had shown me.
Killian’s
mouth fell open and he blinked at me. A rush of color flooded his face and his
lips curled into a sexy smile. He licked his lips and actually growled low in
his throat. My entire body jerked towards him, heat flooding me from head to
toe. I clutched at the door frame and tried not to shake. He moved towards me,
stalking like a jaguar, muscles rolling smoothly under his clothes. Sex dripped
from every pore of his body and my knees went weak. My knuckles were white with
strain and my heartbeat drowned out every other sound. His grin widened.
Taking
his time, he stood just out of reach with one palm cupped in front of me. His
eyes caressed every inch of me, lingering in all the important places. The
weight of his stare was tangible as his hand drifted in front of my body, not
touching, just hovering over my breasts, my ribs, down my belly, over the wisp
of the sarong slung low over my hips. His voice purred inside my head as he
described everything he wanted to do to me, with me, for me…He didn’t touch me
with his hands, but by the time he was done looking, I was seduced. My heart
was skipping beats and a bead of sweat ran down my back.
With
his palms flat against the wall behind me, he pinned me between his arms and
said, “Dinner’s ready.”
Food
or sex? Food or sex? Food or…
Offering
me his hand, he bowed and said, “Come, my queen, your feast awaits you.”
Food
it is then. Grinning at the unexpected playfulness, I regally presented my hand
and allowed him to lead me to my seat. He poured the wine and held up his
glass.
“Slainte!”
I
touched my glass against his and answered, “Slainte.”
“We
have another day in Paris. What would you like to do with it?” he asked while
filling my plate for me.
I
watched with amusement as he cut up my chicken and tore off a chunk of the warm
bread. Who are you and what have you done with Killian? He sat the plate in
front of me and picked up a piece of the crispy meat with his fingers. Before I
could answer his question, he held the morsel to my lips. I opened my mouth
like a baby bird.
Sighing
with pleasure, I said, “Mm, that’s so good.”
With
a grin, he sliced a piece for himself while I chewed. He slipped another piece
between my lips, allowing his fingers to linger longer than necessary. A tingle
of electricity wove its way down my spine and I took a calming sip of wine.
What
did I want to do with him in Paris, the most romantic city in the world? That
had to be a trick question. I mean really. The only thought that came to mind
was sex…Of course it was hard to think of anything else with his fingertips
brushing my lips and his eyes undressing me. I tried to give him a seductive
stare across the table and flinched away at the flash of raw desire in his
eyes. He was taking his time right now but those eyes promised no such
restraint later. I was having a really hard time eating when I only wanted to
drag him to the bed.
“Eat,
Princess. You have to get your strength back. Did you know that sex burns off a
thousand calories? When you consider your high metabolism, you’ll probably burn
triple that much by the end of the night. You’re too weak for that now.
Probably we should wait another week or two; just to be safe.”
I
stabbed another piece of chicken and made a big show of chewing it up. After
swallowing, I said, “You’re not playing fair! I can only eat so much! My
stomach’s shrunk.” I speared another bite of chicken and washed it down with
mineral water.
He
laid his hand over mine and said, “Take your time, baby. We’ve got all night.”
He traced the rune on my hand and smiled slowly. “This night’s for you. I’m
going to spoil you, so just relax and let me.”
Sweet Potato Casserole
Makes 6 servings.
3 pounds medium-sized sweet
potatoes or yams, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1/3 cup half and half
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon, more or less to
taste (optional)
2 eggs, beaten to blend
3/4 tsp allspice
1/2 cup toasted pecans (optional)
Butter an 8 inch square or 9x11
inch rectangle casserole dish with 2 inch sides. Boil sweet potatoes in water until very
soft--about 20 minutes, may take longer. Note: You can also microwave in their
skins until super soft or even roast in their skins. Either way, the potatoes
have to be really soft before you can process them. Make sure you peel them!
Put potatoes into a food
processor. Add rest of ingredients except for the pecans. Process until smooth. I sometimes add a touch more sugar or a
little vanilla. Transfer to the baking
dish. Smooth the top evenly. You can put this in the fridge at this step and
cook later. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Bake casserole until the
center is set and top just starts to brown. Usually about 50 minutes. Slightly
more if you had it in the fridge. Garnish with the pecans and serve.
Note: I’ve experimented with
using brown sugar, adding some molasses, adding cinnamon or nutmeg. I’ve even
added some cayenne pepper for a little heat. All taste good. This is the basic
recipe. Feel free to customize.

Foodie Excerpt
Draco took a step over to the stove and looked down at two
of his brand new fry pans. He picked up one of them and tried as hard as he
could to figure out what it was that she had been trying to cook, but finally
had to ask. “Baby, what the hell is this?”
“Fried eggs,” she answered, but for the life of him, he
could not find anything resembling an egg in the pool of black liquid.
“What were you fryin’ the eggs in?”
“Butter.”
“How much butter did you use?” He tilted the pan to see…yep,
the bottom was completely burnt.
“Just a stick.”
“The whole damn thing?” He took the pan, eggs and all, and
dumped it in the trash.
“Uh…yes?”
Shaking his head, he picked up the other pan which had a big
chunk of…black. “Wanna share what this was?”
“It’s bacon.” She huffed at him.
Grabbing a fork, “Bacon?” he questioned as he stuck the fork
in the chunk, or at least tried to. The top might have been burnt to a crisp
but it seemed the inside was still frozen. “Did you thaw it?”
“Thaw?”
“I take that as a no.” Again he looked at the bottom of the
pan, which was also burnt, so like the first, he chucked it in the trash as
well.
“Dra! You just threw away your frying pans.”
“They’re burnt.”
“I messed up your pans?”
He moved to her, stepped in between her legs, and kissed her
quick. “Baby, you can’t cook for shit.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll replace them.” She looked around the room
for a second like she was lost, then looked back at him. “Today if you take me
to the store.”
He turned toward the refrigerator. “Can’t buy them at any
store around here. I ordered them.”
“Oh, okay. Well, then, I’ll pay for them. Just tell me how
much.”
He had his head stuck in the refrigerator, looking for
something easy that he could help her cook. “‘Bout three hundred for the both,”
he answered absently.
“Dollars?” she screeched. “Were you high?”
He jerked his head out of the fridge and looked at her.
“What?”
“High, as in stoned. As in you had to have been stoned out
of your mind to pay three hundred dollars for frying pans.” She tilted her head
at him. “Haven’t you ever heard of Walmart?”
Grabbing the milk and butter out of the refrigerator, he
turned to her. “Gonna pretend I didn’t just hear you ask, a cop, if I was high.
Seein’ as that shit’s still illegal in the state of Virginia.”
“So you paid three hundred dollars on pans? On purpose?
Seriously?”
He went to the cabinet, pulled out the flour container.
“They’re All-Clad, or they were. Can’t buy that shit at Walmart.”
“But three hundred dollars? As in U.S. dollars?”
“Bree…” he said while pulling sugar and spices out of
another cabinet.
“Okay. Okay. I’ll drop it.” But he heard her mumble to
herself, “Three? Hundred? Dollars?”
After he sat everything they would need on the counter on
the other side of the stove, he went back to her and stood in between her legs.
“You like pancakes?” he asked her, his lips close, but not quite, touching
hers.
She grabbed two hands full of his hair and pulled his lips
to hers. He sunk into her so deep he forgot all about his damn pans, the
smoked-up kitchen, everything except…her.
A little later, Draco tried his damnedest to be patient with
her. But, after she had spilled the flour, dumped way too much sugar in the
bowl, had egg shells in the batter, and now, when he told her to add a little
butter to the pan, she again threw the whole damn stick in it with the burner
turned on high, causing the hot milk that was already in the pan to splatter on
her. That’s it! He pulled her back away from the stove and turned her to face
him. “Bree, you see that?” He pointed at the microwave.
“The microwave?”
“Yeah. That you can use all you want.” He pointed at the
stove. “See this?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t fuckin’ touch it,” he leaned into her, “for any damn
reason.”
“Dra!”
“Bree, I’m serious. I kinda figured you didn’t cook much by
what you had at your place, but fuck, baby, you really can’t cook for shit.”
“Just because I don’t cook like you doesn’t mean I can’t
cook, or use a stove.”
“Yeah? How do you fix pancakes?”
“The microwave,” she mumbled so low he could barely hear
her.
He cupped his ear. “What was that?” He couldn’t resist
teasing her.
“I said the microwave. And they’re good. Probably just as
good as yours and all I have to do is take them out of the freezer and pop ‘em
in the microwave. Thirty seconds later…bam! Pancakes.”
“You think your frozen pancakes are just as good as mine?”
“Probably.”
He grinned at her. “Wanna bet on that?”
“Uh…bet? Like money?”
He shook his head in the negative, still grinning. “Money’s
too simple. Something more…I’m thinkin’,” he ran his eyes down the length of
her, then back up to her eyes, “fun.”
“Fun, uh, like the loser has to…hummm…do a strip tease?”
He hadn’t thought about that but, watching Bree dance and
strip? “Fuck. Yeah,” he readily agreed.
“Okay. Bet,” she agreed, and she stuck out her hand to shake
on it.
He grabbed her hand and gave her a tug. “We don’t shake on
it.” She fell into him, and he kissed her. He picked her up and sat her back on
the counter before he set out to make the best damn pancakes he had ever made.
