Professor Lucas Slate is sexy and smart and can have any
woman in the world. What could he possibly want with his size fourteen best
friend Kissa Nazir? When he asks her to go with him to London for the
Christmas season, she thinks it is friendly moral support. But what she doesn’t
know is Lucas has other plans in mind for her.
For five years, Lucas has waited for a chance to show the
beautiful bellydancer he can be more than just a friend. Not taking any more
chances on Kissa's love, he'll lie if he has to, cheat all the fates, and whisk
her away for the holidays. One way or another, Lucas plans to live out his
long-awaited fantasy. At the end of this holiday season, he's stealing more
than a “Kissa Under the Mistletoe".
Excerpt from Kissa Under the Mistletoe:
“Cold? We’ll be in the library soon. It’s just around the corner.”
“I’m fine.” She lifted her face up to his and met his gaze. Heat flared
in his eyes turning them a rich navy. His lips spread into a wolfish grin, as
if he could see the images in her head. She was trying to behave, but now she’d
had a taste of him, she wanted more.
“I can see.”
He pulled her off the main road down a side street. Shifting her in his
arms, he walked her backward until she felt the hard brick wall of the building
against her. He traced a single fingertip down her jawline and simply looked at
her as if trying to memorize her face.
“Lucas.” His name sounded more like a question than a statement. She
needed to feel his lips on hers, his body tight against hers. Plain and simple,
she needed him.
His arms felt warm and strong against the small of her back despite the
chill in the December air. He lowered his head until his mouth was only a
hairbreadth from her face.
“You can’t look at me like that out here in the open and expect me to
behave respectably.” Husky and soft, his voice thrummed through her, skating
along her nerve endings and turning her knees to water. He tightened his arm
around her waist, holding her closer. She could feel the heat from his body
radiating off him in waves, and she generated some heat of her own.
He tipped her chin up with his free hand and gazed into her eyes. A faint
smile tugged at his lips, and then he brought his mouth down hard on hers.
There was nothing gentle in his kiss this time. He plundered her mouth with a
fierce hunger, and she met him with equal passion. It roused her blood. Desire
flooded her veins, thick and spicy like the Turkish coffee her grandmother use
to drink.
As he drove her crazy with his mouth, she twined her arms around his neck
to pull him closer. Not a single pound note could fit between their bodies.
With a groan, he released her waist, only to move her more fully against the
wall, leaving his hands free to stroke her wherever he wanted. With expert
fingers, he unbuttoned her jacket and slipped inside to cup her full breast
through her knit sweater.
“Lucas,” she whispered against his lips. “We can’t do this in public—”
He cut off her words with another kiss. She moaned low in her throat when
his thumb traced over her nipple.
“That’s it, sigh for me. I love the little noises you make when I tease
you.” He placed kisses on her cheeks, her eyelids, and her nose. “Yes, love,
just like that.”
She laughed breathlessly and pushed his hand away.
“That wasn’t me, Lucas.”
He pulled back and looked down at her in surprise. She gestured over his
shoulder. He turned, still holding her in his arms, almost shielding her body
with his.
A bobby stood grinning at them in amusement, his hands crossed over his
chest. “Not on the street now. Take that back to your flat,” the police officer
said sternly, but the twinkle in his eyes belied the seriousness of his tone.
“Yes, Officer, we shall.”
