Excerpt from Heart of the Music

(Saints & Sinners #1) by Kaithlin Shepherd

"Jarrod, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I figured since you probably didn't have food, I would stock up on some provisions, hence the bags, and then I thought to myself that all of this food was more than enough for two people. So I thought I would crash your party."

Not giving her time to object, he took a step forward, gave her a quick kiss, tasting the wine on her lips, and made his way into the kitchen. "So I got enough food to last us for two days."

"Us?" Her dipped brows and head tilting to the side made him smile. God, he loved how she never expected him to be there for her, because it allowed him to surprise her over and over again.

"Yeah, us… me and you," he told her with a smirk, while putting the food away.

She was feeling unbalanced, and that was exactly what he wanted. He needed her to understand that this thing between them was for the long haul. It wasn't something that would stay only while they were on the road.

She walked behind the counter and helped him put the food away until she found the chocolate. Then he was on his own. The woman had three weaknesses: shoes, coffee and chocolate. The instant she saw the wrapped bar, she took it in her hands, unwrapped it, and, had a piece in her mouth within seconds, before dropping the chocolate back on the counter. She moaned softly… and he was just a man. With every moan she made, his cock grew harder behind the fly of his jeans. He leaned back against the counter and watched her almost have an orgasm on the spot.

"Enjoying that over there?" he asked, thinking about her making those sounds while he was buried deep inside her, feeling nothing else but her around him.

"It's almost orgasmic. You want to try it?" she whispered, her voice sounding raspier than he'd ever heard it.

This had to be hell. He had planned on making her dinner and romancing her before he fucked her senseless again, but seeing her eat that chocolate and hearing her sweet moans had him thinking about fucking her on the kitchen counter. He'd be damned if watching her play with him wasn't the sexiest thing ever.

"Oh, I'd love a taste of something all right." He didn't make a move toward her, though. He was hell-bent on waiting for her to come to him.

He didn't have to wait long. Trish slowly moved toward him, grabbing a piece of chocolate off the counter, and he couldn't wait to see where she was going with this. She stood inches away from him as she took a bite out of the chocolate and moaned softly again, the sound bouncing off his body, waking up every cell in him. She didn't move and she didn't touch him; she just stood there, looking gorgeous as hell. And then she almost drove him to the edge.

She leaned forward, ran her tongue over her lips, and after what seemed like forever, she finally pressed her mouth to his. He forced himself to take the kiss slow at first, but with her biting his lower lip every chance she got, his control wouldn't last long. Pulling away from her, he looked into her eyes to see if she was feeling the same things he was. When he saw passion and need in those big brown eyes, that was all he needed to know.

Available on all digital platforms and in paperback.
