Lisa Conover is a former cop, now a ‘kiss-ass’ detective who
spends her time in the NC mountains working for police departments and other
businesses performing background investigations.
Sam and Lisa work together unraveling the stories behind the
abduction of his niece, Autumn, and where his brother, Luke has been for the
past twenty years, while Lisa wonders if she and Sam can salvage their personal
relationship.
STORY EXCERPT
“Ahh!! Oh!! Yes!
Yes! It feels so good! Right there! Please, don’t stop, please,” Lisa Conover
muttered. “Harder, harder! No! Don’t leave now!” She groaned as she pounded her
fists into the hardwood floor. “Damn it! Why did you stop?” she asked Godiva, her
twenty-two pound silver tabby cat, who had jumped off her back and now
sauntered over to a sunny spot on the carpet, flopping down in a very
unladylike manner. Just like Sam used to
do years ago, gets me feeling comfortable and then he takes off.
Lisa’s aching back
muscles were so tight from hunching over her computer ten to twelve hours a day
every day for the past weeks. She needed a massage. Better yet, she needed a
vacation.
She rolled over
onto her back and stared above at the open-beamed ceiling of her log cabin in
the North Carolina Mountains outside Hickoryville. She studied the accumulation
of dust bunnies along the beams.
The setting sun
cast shadows across the room as she gazed out the two-story floor to ceiling
windows on one wall. The view of the tranquil scenic mountains in its
resplendent fall glory replaced some of the angst she felt about her work. She
relaxed and stretched her arms above her head. Her stomach growled, reminding
her she hadn’t had any lunch today.
She stood, trying
to stretch her still-aching muscles by turning side to side at the waist,
touching her toes—or attempting to anyway.
Then maybe she
could get a few more hours of work done before bedtime.
After putting down
fresh water and food for Godiva she opened the fridge hoping to find something
for dinner. She knew what she would find but she looked anyway. It was empty
except for a couple of eggs, and an older-than-she-knew container of yogurt she
couldn’t trust anymore.
She glimpsed down
at Godiva who had already finished her dinner. “I think I’ll run down to The
Barn and get something to eat. You can hold down the fort here for a while,
right?” she asked Godiva who sauntered away licking her lips.
She walked the
short distance from the kitchen to the corner of the large open room to her
desk which held her state-of-the-art computer system with three screens and a
laptop. She sat down to start turning everything off when the phone on her desk
rang.
“Conover
Investigations, Lisa speaking.”
“Hi, is Sam Brower
there?”
“Sorry, but I
haven’t heard from Sam in years. How did you get my number?”
“This is the last
number I had for him. I really need to talk to him ASAP.”
“Maybe I can help
you. What’s the problem?”
“No, I need to talk
to Sam.”
“I’m sorry I can’t
help you. Give me your name and a number where he can reach you, and if I hear
from him I’ll let him know you’re trying to get in touch with him, okay?”
“My name’s Luke and
he can reach me at …” Then the phone line went dead. He had hung up.
What
is it about men? They never say good-bye.
ADULT EXCERPT
“Sam, have you
really thought this through?” Lisa asked as she pulled her hair away from her
face.
“Of course I have.
Do you think I really want to give up what we’ve just renewed?”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,
back the truck up,” Lisa said as she pushed away from him, her hands on his
chest. “What do you think has been renewed? Yes, we shared a couple of ‘hello’
kisses for old time’s sake, but that’s all.”
Sam turned and
moved closer to her. “Let’s take care of that right now. I know I want more out
of our relationship, maybe even something permanent, don’t you?” He put his
hands on her shoulders and attempted to pull her closer. She resisted.
He leaned in and
kissed her shoulders, moving to her neck. She moved away. He pulled her closer
and continued kissing her long neck, ears, and cheeks, moving toward her open
and groaning mouth. Her hands moved to his elbows and then up to his shoulders
until they were around his neck where she hung on for dear life.
His mouth moved to
encompass hers, his tongue tangling with hers. He groaned as he pulled her
closer to rub against his erection. He walked her backwards toward the bed
until the back of her legs could go no farther. They slowly tumbled to the bed
without breaking the kiss. He held her in his arms, plundering her mouth. His
hands moved up her side and found her breast. She wiggled. His fingers found
her nipple and gently squeezed until it became erect and hard. He pulled up her
blouse and broke the kiss to take his wet mouth to her breast. He moved her
satin-and-lace bra out of the way and plundered her nipple. She groaned and
arched toward him. His hand pulled up her skirt and reached for her feminine
curls finding soft, satin-and-lace matching panties. He pulled them aside and
reached for her hot wet spot waiting and ready for him.
His hand slid
between her legs and brushed the dewy petals of her damp folds, sending a zing
of electricity through her entire body. Working a finger inside her, he
growled, “Keep going,” with a jerk of his chin at her still hands.
He worked two
fingers into her wet passage and stretched her wide. Her back arched as
delicious tremors and hot shocks of pleasure streaked through her body. His
eyes as deep and dark as night, his gaze caressed her, traveling over her body
to rest where his hand had disappeared between her legs.
Eyes heavy-lidded,
he murmured, “I want to lick you all over like an ice cream cone.”
His heated look
inflamed her blood, and a film of perspiration covered her skin. She tried to
fill her restricted lungs, but there wasn’t enough air in the room.
He moved his
fingers inside her. He was huge, jutting past his belly button, a network of
veins distended in stark relief along the length.
He was stroking
himself while he was pleasuring her. He rolled on top of her and, finding the
exact spot, he thrust inside her. She arched her hips toward him, wanting more,
and he thrust deeper. In and out, in and out, their rhythm soon matched until
they both spiraled out of control and into ecstasy.
Sam moved off her
but lay close beside her, wrapping his arms tightly around her. He didn’t want
to let her go.

I think Godiva was channeling my Gandalf! He can give the best back rubs around when he gets in his "happy feet" mode. Your opener pulled me right in and then I had to laugh because I experienced that same back rub last night!
