I'm swooning over...

Fire of Stars and Dragons by Melissa Petreshock

She runs her tongue along my ear, her sinful, lingering breath tingling cool on my neck. "You want me... What is it you want?" Her voice is husky. Cait is maddeningly desirable. I try to slip my hands beneath her t-shirt, but she grabs my wrists, holding me at bay. "Tell me."

I could break free of her grasp but find her play at dominance enthralling, and submitting arousing. Unhurried, I kiss along her throat, jaw, and chin as I respond. "I want your love, Cait. I want to give you mine, in every way. I want you to refuse Dante. I want you to choose me." She releases my wrists, and my fingers are in her hair, my mouth on hers tasting the Sangiovese grapes and mild oak flavors of the wine, but nothing more intoxicating than the essence of Cait. "Falling in love with you may yet drive me mad. At least ease my suffering and marry me, Miss Hayden."

Laughing, she takes my face in her hands and meets my eyes. "I doubt I'd notice a difference. You're already a crazy dragon, Theo." Her smile is wide, her eyes bright and happy, just the way I saw in her future, in her destiny....Loved, in love, and happy. "Yes."

There's no resistance when I slip my hands under her shirt this time, running them along the smooth skin of her back, holding her against me, not disappointed as she shifts closer. Fingers fisted in my hair, Cait is as fierce and passionate in her kisses as I am mine, responding in kind to my touch, meeting every excited growl of need from me with fascinatingly arousing noises so uniquely her own.

What's making you swoon this week?
