Six Sentence Sunday

Six more from my contemporary romance 'Fragrance of Violets', continued from last week when Abbey surprised Jack in their Paris hotel room by appearing in a see-through baby-doll outfit.


Their kiss deepened as his hands moved down her back, then round her hips and slowly upwards again. 

Her head went back and a small moan escaped her throat as she surrendered to the delicious feel of his hands through the silky baby-doll top.

“Not sure I can undo this clasp,” he muttered. 

She loved his frown of concentration as he fumbled slightly with the fastening, but once he’d managed to open it he slid the flimsy top off her shoulders until it fell to the floor. All the time he was looking down at her breasts. 

“God, you’re beautiful,” he breathed.

'Fragrance of Violets' is available from Whiskey Creek Press and Amazon.

If you'd like to find out more about the Lake District, where most of this contemporary romance of forgiveness and renewed love is set, do look back at my A-Z Blog Challenge posts for April.

Wow, thank you all for your fantastic comments! I'm so glad you like Jack's fumbling with the clasp as I think it's somehow sexier than him ripping the top off her!

Thank you all, I do strive for passion combined with tenderness in my love scenes since I find that combination far more sensual (and more erotic too) than the wham, bam routine!
