Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is World Building. When I write, I like to show my characters having fun. Doing something outside the norm. Here’s a fun little scene that shows my futuristic world in Need Me (my Kensington release that come out over the summer!). After you read my snippet, be sure to check out the others!
Nika has trained her body into a deadly weapon—the better to take what she wants from any world, especially the well-protected planet Belton. But the moment she sees Lt. Brendon Marshall, her weapon is turned against her. A man like him could incinerate a woman’s priorities with one look. And since he’s guarding the very object of her desire, it could be so simple to use him and never look back. As long as she can ignore a more intense pleasure than she’s ever known—and a wilder need than she’s ever imagined…
WARNING! These is a REALLY HOT book!
The lift jerked to a halt and she swallowed hard.
“Time to go down now.”
Go down. The way he said it left no doubt of the double meaning. And at the moment, for the first time in her life, she actually had the desire to take a man’s cock in her mouth. Not any man’s, but Brendon’s. Never with her owners had she enjoyed the chore. Quite the opposite.
“Come, love.” His heated gaze ran over hers. “Let us slide and be on our way back to your room.”
Her cheeks heated and she gave a quick nod, turning and exiting the lift onto the slide.
The sudden realization at how high up they were sent a wave of dizziness through her.
“Gods, we are quite a bit in the air, are we not?” she asked, her voice tight.
How had she not realized her fear of the height would be so great?
“Easy, love. I’m right behind you. Just settle onto your bottom, and I’ll slide my legs on the other side of yours.”
She sat gingerly, gripping the edge of the slide’s high walls. Truly, there was no danger of falling off, but still, being able to see under her and over the slide—since it was clear—sent a wave of excitement and terror through her.
Brendon sat down behind her and the slide wobbled slightly, ripping a gasp from her.
“It’s all right. It’s quite safe.” He slid a hand around her waist and urged her to lean back against him.
She did, letting her head rest against the hard curve of his shoulder.
“Ready?”
“No, but I don’t suppose I have any choice now.”
“Not at all, seeing as the toddler is again on the lift at this very moment.”
She bit out a hoarse laugh. Surely if a child could do this, then she could.
“One,” he began. “Two.”
Before he could say three, he’d pushed them free and they swept downward on the slide at breakneck speed.
Nika shrieked as the ground rushed closer with each passing second. Her hair whipped back from her face and her nails dug into Brendon’s legs. The exhilaration and fear combined to make her pulse race and give her a complete feeling of being weightless.
She yelled the whole way down, clutching Brendon until they came to a stop at the bottom.
“Gods!” She laughed and scooted to her feet, pressing a hand against her chest. “That was amazing.”
Brendon’s face was alight with pleasure and he laughed, glancing back at the slide.
“I haven’t a clue the last time I went down that thing.”
Nika laughed harder. “You lied! I thought you went down daily.”
“Hardly. A grown man visiting the play equipment daily?” He made a face. “How scandalous.”
She swatted his chest and he caught her wrist, pulling her close.
“Shall we go down again on the sky-slide?” he murmured, sliding his hands down to her waist. “Or are you hoping for another sort of ride?”
The air escaped her lungs on a tiny puff, as moisture gathered heavy between her legs. “Most definitely another sort of ride.”
