New Year's Marine

A Christmas Marine Excerpt:

“Benvenuto!” Alston gave the young woman his name. She crossed it off the list.

“Your table is ready. Please, follow me.” The hostess led them to a booth located in the back of the restaurant, granting them plenty of privacy.

Perfect.

Alston waited until Audrey scooted into the booth before he followed her in. His thigh rested against her much smaller one, their hips pressed together. He wanted to be as close as possible to her as he could. Alston leaned closer to her. Her soft flowery perfume
floated to his nostrils. His already rock hard cock strained against the material of his pants.

When the waiter came, Alston ordered a bottle of red wine for them. Next to him Audrey studied the menu. He moved his hand to rest on her thigh, over the material of her dress. Startled she looked up to him. Alston just smiled and looked down at his own menu. Then, his fingers began to trace small circles on her thigh. He heard her soft gasp of surprise.

By the time the waiter returned with the wine, Alston’s hand rested at the apex of her thighs. He could feel her heat through the material of her dress and panties. He aimed to find out what she wore underneath before the main course was served. He wouldn’t be able to wait. He could see how she tried to remain still and nonchalant as the waiter took their order.

Once he was out of earshot Alston lowered his mouth to her ear. “Give me your panties.”

“What?”

“Your panties, I want to hold them in my hand. Take them off.”

A Marine for New Year’s Excerpt:

“So darling when do you want to get hitched?” Ram couldn’t help but provoke her.

“That depends.”

“On what?”

“On how soon you can get a physical. I want to make sure that you’re 100 percent for the honeymoon. I plan to keep you naked and in bed the whole time.”

Ram was a second away from throwing her over his shoulder and to the nearest bed. Hell, a small room was all he needed. She went back to finishing her burger all nonchalant. In front of them Audrey was choking on her drink, and Alston was staring at them, his eyes warning him the hell away. But after that last tidbit, Ram was not going anywhere but to her place. As soon he talked to his brother, he was going to find his way between Lexi’s thighs.

“Why don’t you take the rest of the day off darling? We can get started on the honeymoon.”

She laughed at him.

“Sorry, stud I have to go back to work. Besides, it looks like you and Alston need to talk.”

As much as he hated to admit it, she was right. He stole a couple of fries from her plate as they resumed eating. “Yeah, business first. I’ll have your ring for you after work. Just remember that after you get off, I’m going to get you off.” He winked at her and watched the flash of heat rise under her creamy chocolate skin. He’d see how much of her luscious body that blush covered later on.

After they were done eating, Ram followed them outside to their car. Lexi walked beside him, while Alston and Audrey walked ahead of them.

“Why do they call you Ram? What’s your name anyway? Alston never really said. I mean when he said he had a brother Audrey and I both just thought he was talking about one of his Marine cronies. And he always has his tongue shoved down Audrey’s throat so I couldn’t ask him. Lord knows I’ve tried.”

“Tristram.”

He almost smiled when she tried it. “Tristram.” He much preferred Ram but hearing her say his full name would be refreshing.

“What about after work?”

“What about it?”

She was being coy now?

“What time do you get off? I’ll pick you up and take you home. Then you can show me your bedroom.”

“What makes you think we would make it all the way to my bed?”

Ram couldn’t help the growl that escaped at her words. The little saucy wench was treading on thin ice. His nickname wasn’t the Battling Ram for nothing. Coming to a stop, he waited until she faced him.

“Make sure this is what you want Lexi.” Ram warned her. He gave her an out if she so wanted it.

“I get off at 6:00 pm. You need to be there at a quarter till. Don’t be late. I hate waiting.”

Ram watched as she got in to the passenger side of the SUV. He stood back as Alston kissed Audrey and said something to them. Probably warning Lexi off. He couldn’t blame him. If the roles were reversed he would do the same.

Resolutions Excerpt:
Before he could move, her boot started to ring. It took a minute for him to realize that’s where she had her cell. Of course, she didn’t have a purse or a jacket on her. Where else would she put it?

Seeing her fumble to try to fish it out, Kord deftly removed the footwear, allowing the phone to tumble out. He had forgotten all about calling her friend. He moved to remove the other so she could be more comfortable and waited while she started her conversation.

“Um, no,” she was saying. “I’m actually still here, at the party. I’m just, um…”

“Tell her you’re busy,” he whispered, sliding up beside her, kissing her neck. He seemed to be addicted to the soft, flowery scented skin.

“I’m busy.”

Kord smiled against her skin. “Tell her you have a ride home.”

“I have a ride home. You can just leave my purse and coat, uh…” She looked over her shoulder at him with the question clear in her eyes.

His dick jumped, going from merely hard to raging with that one look. She was starting to trust him. At least this far. “Tell her to have Mitch give them to Captain MacQuire.” Shannon would either place them in a safe place or bring them up here. Either way, this would mean she was staying for at least the night. Plus, it would force Delilah to at least talk to the man who’d been after her behind for longer than either of them would care to admit.

“Give them to Captain MacQuire.” Kord could hear the screech in response loud and clear. It was time for Rayna to end her phone call.

“You have to go now, sugar,” he whispered softly in her ear, nipping it before he slid off the bed and into the bathroom. He was gone for less than a minute, rolling another condom on as he strode back into the room.

Rayna was off the phone, her bra had been removed, and though she had gotten between the sheets, she didn’t demur or look away as he approached her. Her eyes reflected all the desire he felt, her lips slightly parted as if waiting for his kiss. He didn’t hesitate to give her just that. He took her mouth until she was breathless and panting, they way he was beginning to enjoy seeing her.

“Turn around for me, baby. Get on your knees.”
