How would you approach a man you find exceedingly attractive,
intelligent and downright sexy, especially if your sole purpose was to get him
into bed? Would you take the stealth approach, making your way with studied
nonchalance around the room until you’re within range, strike up innocuous
conversation and then reel him in with your wit, charm and the come-hither look
in your eyes? Or would you hit the dance floor and put on a show, telling him
with sultry glances it’s all for him?
The heroine in my upcoming release, Jaguar in
the Sun, book four in the Unveiled
Seductions series, available December 4, 2013, doesn’t have time for all
that. She’s on a strict timetable, and knows it’s now or never if she wants to
get a taste of Xbal Montegro, not to mention experience his atraspa, a special type of sex magic
that takes centuries to master.
Cassie’s very clear-sighted about the whole thing:
Since she’d been distracted when
she left the temple, she’d forgotten to throw up a shield and the drizzle had
turned her previously sleek hair into a mass of waves but she didn’t care. It
wasn’t a big deal, just a small detail and one she didn’t think would really
matter. In her experience a man didn’t care that much about how a woman’s hair
looked when she was propositioning him.
And she’s decided on the direct approach… very direct. At
his office, this is the beginning of her proposition:
Cassie folded her hands on her lap
and crossed her legs, not bothering to adjust the edges of her skirt when they
fell open to mid-thigh. Xbal’s gaze remained on her face. A little
disappointing but not surprising. This was a man who didn’t ogle or stare, was
as cool as the proverbial cucumber.
“Another of your brainwaves for a
concert at the Midnight Café, needing to be put together at a moment’s notice?”
Amusement added another layer of
richness to his voice and Cassie shifted, glancing down at her hands in case
the heat of rising desire showed in her eyes.
“You could say that, I guess,
although I will tell you I’ve put a great deal of thought into this idea.” She
couldn’t help the answering laughter in her tone, knowing what she was about to
say. Looking at him through half-lowered lids, wanting to see his reaction, she
said, “I actually came by to see if you’d be interested in having sex with me
today.”
Wow. Not sure I’d be able to be so bold, but there’s a
really good reason why she doesn’t have time to shilly-shally. And I guess you’re
wondering how she follows that up, and whether Xbal takes her up on the offer
or not. Let’s just say his reaction isn’t quite what she’s expecting, but that’s
not necessarily a bad thing!
What would your perfect proposition be? I’d love to hear, so
tell me in the comments!
Tomorrow I’ll be at the Darker Temptations blog,
giving you a little peek more of Jaguar in the Sun,
including the official excerpt, which will give you an idea of Xbal’s reaction to
Cassie’s proposition and where it leads. And for the next ten days I’ll be
here, there and everywhere on my Twelve Days of Pre-Release. Watch out for me,
and say hi!

Cassandra
Solinar has a bucket list and jaguar god Xbal Montegro is on it. About to
undergo an essential rite she won’t survive, she wants to wring every ounce of
pleasure out of the time left. Including discovering if Xbal’s sex magic
technique is as good as rumored.
It’s
no hardship for Xbal to accept Cassandra’s invitation for one erotic encounter,
but far more difficult to let her go once he gets a taste of the explosive
passion between them. Now he’s determined to hold on to her, no matter what.
Cassie
can’t tell Xbal the truth about what she’s about to do. It’s illegal, but
without her death the entire world will perish. It’s a job she’s been preparing
for from birth, but the loss will be greater now. For in Xbal she finds a
soul-deep connection she doesn’t want to lose, and the one thing she made a
point of not putting on her bucket
list—love.
