It's that time again. The My Sexy Saturday post theme is Our Sexy Vacation and I've pulled seven paragraphs from my WIP, Sweeter Dreams. Karlee has been pining for a vacation for a while now, but things keep popping up. So her dreams create a tropical vacation for her. Enjoy!
Sweeter Dreams
The salty male scent brought a small smile to her lips
before the fact that a man was cuddling with her struck her. Panic flooded in
as she opened her eyes and shoved away from the stranger.
It was the crazy man beside her. Deep chestnut brown eyes
were staring back at her and before she could scream Karlee took in the full
view of the rest of him. A small smile graced his slightly pouty lips and his
light brown hair was messed, as if he had been sleeping beside her the entire
time. Below the sexy look was an equally sexy chest. Across his bare skin a
sprinkling of hair caught her attention and led her eyes lower to the edge of
the blanket that rested across his hip. The happy trail continued under the
floral pattern of the covers and was a clear sign that he was sans clothing
from top to bottom.
It was the crazy man and he was completely nude beside her.
She was just starting to freak out when the sound of waves registered. Looking
away from the beautiful man, Karlee looked for the water. Instead of her
bedroom walls a sprawling beach cast in moonlight surrounded her. Ocean waves
were crashing against the shore line and the only thing on the beach besides
sand and tropical trees was her bed. “What’s going on?”
“You’re dreaming,” Court said, shifting beside her. When she
turned to look at him again he was sitting up against the headboard, the
blanket draped a little higher to cover everything below his belly button. His
small smile had turned into a smirk. “It’s all in your head.”
Chirping rang out from somewhere behind her and Karlee swept
her eyes over the water. The moon was high over the horizon and the rippling
waves reflected the light, lighting up the landscape. “A dream?” she mumbled
with a smile. Fear and worry were quickly replaced by a feeling of giddiness.
Throwing the blanket off, Karlee jumped off the bed and wiggled her toes in the
sand. The breeze caressed her body and a bit of her joy flickered as she
realized she too was naked.
Covering her breasts, she threw a look over her shoulder at
Court. When he rolled his head against the headboard Karlee swore she saw a
twinkle in his eyes. “Your dream. Dream up clothing,” he suggested.
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Karlee figured
seeing herself in her favorite nightgown might make it appear. It was her dream
after all. It didn’t take long for the silky softness of the gown to slip over
her skin. A single glance proved that she had summed the white billowy gown
into place and Karlee threw her hands out and twirled. The salty air curled
around her like a welcoming hug and Karlee felt all the stress from her long
day melt away as the stars spun above her.
That's it for this week. I hope it intrigued and don't forget to hop on over to the other blogs for more great snippets!
