Now available from HeatWave: "Insight" by Annie Rayburn Excerpt from Chapter 1: I'm standing here getting hard. How can I want a woman so much, so quickly? What's going on here? His eyes widened slightly, and Sela pulled in a sharp breath. How was it she could hear his thoughts? That had never happened before. Vague impressions, yes. An intuitive knowledge of other people's feelings, but never anything like this. Mother had warned her this would happen someday. She pressed her palm above the deeply scooped neckline of her sweater, trying to calm the bird-like fluttering there. His gaze followed the movement, and he swallowed hard. Bet those aren't fake. Hearing his mental assessment, she bit back a smile and let him continue, enjoying the advantage. But why couldn't he hear her thoughts, as well? Why didn't he just communicate in the age-old Crainesian way, if indeed he was her mate? Oh, hell, she'll think I'm some kind of pervert, standing here staring at her breasts. Say something. Do something. He stuck out his hand. "Sorry to mow you down like that. I'm Jonavon Wyatt." "Sela Marin." She shook the offered hand and smiled as her skin began to tingle. So the instant heat was mutual. The knowledge made her confident. Desire urged her to throw her usual caution to the winds and see where this consuming fire took them. Giving him what she hoped was her sexiest come-hither look, she drawled, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Maybe it's fate, us running into each other. We should get to know each other better." Without breaking eye contact she inserted one acrylic tipped index finger through his belt loop and tugged him closer. That should make him lower those mental walls. Reaching blindly into a side slit in her handbag, she withdrew her business card and slipped it into his shirt pocket. "We should definitely get to know one another. Call me." I must be dreaming. Things like this don't happen in broad daylight. He rubbed his fingers across his forehead. Hell, what am I thinking? Things like this don't happen at all. His thoughts floated through Sela's mind, bringing with it the vision of her lying back on those satin sheets, his well-muscled body rising over hers seconds before he covered her distended nipple with his mouth. Her heartbeat thundered in her throat, drowning out the surrounding noise. Jonavon watched the alluring beauty arch slightly and heard her quiet, desperate, "Ahhh" just before she bit her very full and delectably pink bottom lip. His penis leapt painfully in response within his already snug jeans. He could have sworn her eyes took on a luminous quality. "Jon?" Carmen's irritated voice cut into the sphere of warmth like an axe, bringing back the surrounding noises. He turned toward her, knowing he must look guilty as hell. He felt it, standing here wanting another woman, still sporting a semi hard-on with his fiancée fast approaching. Shit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

"... be prepared ...this is... filled with emotional lows and highs... tastefully erotic dreams and ...sex! The conclusion is wonderful and I hope Ms. Rayburn has plans to write a longer Crainesian novel very soon.
