Vacancy
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: Completely out of my depth with this guy, I picked up one of the pillows from his bed and hugged it to my chest, trying to muffle the impact he was having on me. But his smell rippled up from the fabric, and my body went into a state of hypersensitivity. “So…” I said, drawing in a deep breath and trying to sound casual, even though every part of me was trembling with arousal. Damien left the doorway to take a single, cautious step in my direction. “Did I pass inspection?” I shrugged, still trying to play it cool. “For the time being.” Then, I took a step forward as well, holding my breath the entire time in anticipation. Shaking his head, he eased closer. “I still can’t believe you’re standing in my room right now.” “I don’t know.” His whiskey eyes searched mine as if reading all my secret desires. “I kind of thought I may never see you again.” I paused and tipped my head curiously. “But you’re my landlord.” Lifting one shoulder, he narrowed the gap until there was only about two feet separating us. “I’ve had lots of tenants that I only met once and never saw again. And I didn’t want you to be one of those. I picked up my phone half a dozen times to text, but I didn’t know if it was okay to do that after…” When he lifted his eyebrows in question, silently asking if it would’ve been okay, I merely sent him a mysterious smile. “What would you have said if you’d texted?” His lips twitched, finding amusement. “Probably only that I wanted to see you again.” Catching my breath, I squeezed the pillow against me tighter. “Say it now,” I commanded. Damien’s eyes turned predatory. Moving in until only the pillow separated us, he whispered, “I want to see you again.” “Okay,” I whispered back.
