#ThursdayTasters - The Department Store #2

Every Thursday a group of talented writers share a sample of their awesome writing here. Check them out!

Last week I shared a snippet from my wip, the second book in The Department Store series. A cougar romance seemed to appeal to you, so here's a little bit more...

"Pardon me?" Jonah leaned in and made her repeat the request.

Maggie gulped, not sure she could summon the courage a second time. "Kiss me again."

Perhaps her libido wasn't as shy as she'd imagined. Her whole body swayed on the axis of anticipation. One wrong move and she'd crash back down to earth. Jonah didn't make her wait too long. He rushed at her with such a force, she held her breath and braced herself.

There was no need. His embrace was as tender as it was passionate. He wrapped her in the cocoon of his arms, and kissed her with a hunger she thought only belonged in movies.

Yes, in their earlier days, she and Peter had their moments. But there was something raw in Jonah's kiss that awakened a side of her which had lain dormant for so long.

Her head swam with dull warnings, all ignored by her need to be wanted. She wrapped her arms around his neck and matched him for every tongue flick and lip nibble. All her troubles seemed so far away whilst she enjoyed a little attention.
