Find on
Jana Cook was not born with a silver spoon
in her mouth, but her fierce determination leads to a successful career in
medical device sales. Toss in five-star meals, fabulous sex with her nearly
perfect husband, Andrew, and a gorgeous new house … and
Jana’s life is picture perfect before she hits the big 3-0. What more
can a girl want?
Overnight, her life begins to unravel. When Jana discovers
she is pregnant, she dives from hero to zero in the eyes of Covington Company.
Despite a resume most would kill for, Jana finds herself unemployed and
devastated. Challenging her employer could change her life … if she
wins. Does she have the strength to handle the gossip and face the likely
reality of being blackballed from her industry?
As Jana struggles to make the right choice, her vivacious
best friend, Grace, is convinced her own heartthrob husband, Gavin, is hiding
something. Despite Jana’s best efforts to convince her that she is
wrong, Grace’s mental illness overpowers reality. Jana was a
superstar in scrubs, but navigating first time motherhood is real work
… especially in the midst of secrets, lies, and unthinkable
tragedy.
She makes her decision. And while Andrew promises to never
let her fall, will love be enough to spark the bravery she needs to survive the
storm that threatens to overcome
her?
Andrew laughed and shook his head.
“When I met you, I never thought you would be so sexual. You seemed
so ... quiet.”
“Didn’t anyone ever
tell you to watch out for the quiet ones?” I raised my eyebrows and
winked, grabbing him spontaneously and pulling him close. I brought my lips to
his and lightly parted them, waiting for him to
lead.
Now that my second trimester kicked into
gear, sex regained its appeal.
Effortlessly, he kissed me, our tongues
wrapping around one another’s, awakening an eagerness that zapped me
of any other thoughts. “I want to be the only toy you play with
tonight.”
I pulled away and gave him a glance at the fire in my eyes.
“You can do whatever you want with me.”
“Shhh.” His voice rose slightly as he
gently lowered me on the soft blanket I hadn’t noticed.
“Take your clothes off for me. I will be right back.”
I obliged, slowly undressing with careful finesse, leaving
my lacy panties for him to remove. Naked under the stars, I allowed the
mystical, cool breeze to relax me as my eyes fluttered shut.
I never heard him return. Suddenly, he lay beside me, using
his firm hands to massage me with the skill of a professional. I bristled with
pleasure as he caressed warm liquid over every square inch of my body.
“You’re so beautiful,” he
murmured as I gently spread my legs, my muscles reduced to mush. Embracing the
sensation of floating in a realm between a memory and a daydream, I relished
his magical touch.
After sliding off my thong, he teased one finger over my
sensitive spot, and I sighed at the promise of what came soon. Maybe six
seconds and I was soaking wet, dying for him to enter me. His intent was sweet
romance, but I wanted to grab his body and force him inside me and rock him
until he couldn’t see straight. My sex drive now wild and untamed, my
body pulsed with intensity unfamiliar to my experience.
I reached up to unbutton his shirt, exposing his sexy arms
and chest. I slid his pants and boxers down and unleashed a seductive smile, my
eyes lifting from his hardness to his heated eyes. Not much foreplay would be
necessary.
I slid my tongue up and down the length of his shaft, amazed
when he got even harder.
He started to position himself on top of me, but I placed
one hand firmly on his chest and pushed him away. A flicker of confusion
crossed his face, but then he grinned as I slyly turned over and rose on my
hands and knees.
“You feel so tight,” he breathed as his
body became one with mine. He squeezed my ass and let a soft moan escape with
the first hard thrust.
He was the perfect fit. With every move he
made, my body longed for more of him, grinding against him until I matched his
pace. I wanted to slow down, to enjoy this fabulous sex underneath a ceiling of
glistening stars, but I lost every ounce of self-control and thrust against him
faster and faster until he exploded with pleasure.
“Damn!” He gazed into my eyes, his wild
with ecstasy, as I smirked with satisfaction. “You’re an
animal.”
I rolled over, collapsing on the blanket cushioned with soft
grass. I guided his hand back to where he started, my mouth forming a long
“O” within seconds. Feverishly, I grabbed his other hand
and placed it on my breast. He took the cue and fondled each nipple until they
were both pebbled.
Hold off, hold off... I could have come
on command.
He rolled his finger in a circular motion, changing his
rhythm to make me last longer. I thought I might fall unconscious if my legs
got any weaker.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I came with such power
that my whole body jerked. My eyes flew open just in time for my release to
coincide with the surreal blend of the majestic stars and distant heavenly
bodies as they faded into the night.
Andrew smiled and lay on his back, gazing into the celestial
sky, lacing his fingers with mine. The breeze intensified, serving as the
perfect cool down as we cuddled under the glistening stars.
This was
perfection.
Laura Lexington is a Contemporary
Women’s Fiction and Contemporary Romance author. Her debut novel
contains elements of suspense and explores elements of every part of life
– love, sex, friendship, careers, faith, social issues, and family.
She lives in the Southern United States with her family, where she hates the
humidity but loves being close to the beach. She is the proud mother of one
daughter, a rambunctious five year old who chopped her glorious hair the first
week of kindergarten, and is the most awesome wife ever (or so she likes to
think). When she’s not daydreaming up future stories, she’s
wearing out her Kindle, thinking about shaking the dust off her treadmill, or
planning her next trip to Orange Beach.
Laura works full time, and unlike the main character in her
debut novel, is thankful to work for a company that recognizes employee talent
regardless of age, race, or gender, and provides many opportunities for
development. She firmly believes in the power of a good housekeeper, a strong
cup of coffee (or two or three), and a novel that makes one’s senses
spin with all the good stuff – drama, love, suspense, sex. If dancing
with her rambunctious five-year-old in the kitchen counts as working out, she
exercises daily, usually after several desserts she couldn’t
resist.
