BLURB
When Alysin surprised her
boyfriend at work with dinner, the surprise was on her. Since he was going at
it with his secretary on the conference table, she packed a bag and called her
BFF. Jolie and Alysin have been traveling the country, working as digital
nomads for ten years, ever since graduation. Taking this as a sign it was time
for a new move, they decide to take a cruise, regroup, and make a plan. Then
she meets Mr. Bedroom Eyes. Following her lead, they pretend to be married so
she can rid herself of the guy who started hitting on her before the boat left
the dock. Though it’s supposed to be a momentary arrangement, he asks her to
take it one step farther. Then another and another. The cruise promises to be
memorable in every way that matters. Along the way, Alysin learns she won't
have to fake an orgasm if she's with someone who knows what to do, that not all
men suck but the best ones suck really well, and that sometimes what starts out
as something pretend can fast become something completely real. Will the woman
who lives life with no regrets, regret that she made that stupid rule about not
exchanging names and contact info?
EXCERPT
Maybe this time I was on my own.
Then I saw him. He had those classic good looks, pretty without looking
feminine; a strong jaw, beautiful deep blue eyes, and rich brown hair that was
thick and begged to be touched. Why couldn’t that guy have pulled out my chair?
Standing, I smoothly stepped in front of him. “Babe,
did you not see me? I was right here. Did you get my Coke?” I could see he was
mildly shocked. No problem. I could fix that. In a few seconds he was going to
be majorly shocked. In fact, I planned to render him speechless...and
malleable. I stood on my tiptoes and planted a kiss on the tip of his nose. As
I imagined, I was offered a hungrier look. That’s when I made my move. Slowly,
I matched my lips to his and then shifted so I was angled and we were
kissing...really really kissing. Thankfully, he played along. Seconds later he
had played right into my hand. Wow wow wow.
“Help me, please,” I breathed into his ear.
“Anything for you, sexy.” He sealed his vow with a
kiss on my cheek that totally did not suck. He looked over at my intruder.
“Who’s this guy?” he asked, jerking his thumb in the guy’s direction.
“I have no idea. I’m sure he was just keeping the
seat warm for you, though.” I smiled at him and frowned over at the guy who was
keeping me from my meal.
“Uh, yeah, I was just leaving,” the man mumbled.
Then he stood up as he muttered apologies and soon walked away. The new guy sat
down. I stared over at him while trying to read the situation. For all I knew,
I had simply traded one douche for another. Historically speaking, it wouldn’t
shock me.
“Hey, don’t mind me. I just ended up getting drawn
into your little charade. Hope you don’t mind if I enjoy my meal while we keep
up appearances?” He smiled.
“Nope. We’re good,” I replied although I was
admittedly wary.
While I was smiling at him, I had little to say.
There was so much going on in my mind...and thanks to Jolie, having an orgasm
wasn’t part of it. The longer he sat, not making a move, the more interesting
he became. Maybe I wasn’t desperate for sex, but I wasn’t going to turn down
the possibility of some amazing guilt-free sex with a hot guy for anything. Only
I wasn’t sure how to gain his attention. My smile hadn’t worked. The kiss
hadn’t accomplished anything. What was it going to take to get a man like this
to be interested in spending a few meaningless days on a cruise with me? Guess
I’d simply have to try the direct approach.
“Are you married?” I asked, confident if that didn’t
break the ice, nothing would.
“No,” he said, cocking his head.
I leaned in. “Really? Because you look like the
marrying kind.” I took another bite of my potato salad while I studied his
reaction.
Throwing his head back to laugh, he said, “I run too
fast. No one can catch me, let alone keep up.” He punctuated his sentence with
a wink.
Clearly I was going to have to be the one to get the
conversation started. “Thank you for saving me. I’m here with my friend. She is
napping right now. I’m not used to having to fend off guys anymore,” I admitted
as I kept on eating. Isn’t it nice when you don’t want anything serious from
someone and you can just be yourself? That was the freedom I felt around Mr.
Bedroom Eyes.
He smiled and I saw he started to extend his hand. I
had the feeling he was about to introduce himself, so I stopped him. “Listen,
you can tell me your name, but I’m just going to forget it. I’m lousy with
names.”
“Okay, so we’re not exchanging names? Is there
anything you would like to exchange?” He smirked.
“Yes, as a matter of fact. How about bodily fluids?”
I smiled and stared at him with a suggestive
look. He...choked on his Coke. When he finally
stopped coughing, I was about finished eating. I don’t let much come between my
food and me even if I don’t look like it.
“Sorry, I’m not used to women being so direct,” he
said with a smile as he wiped his face.
“I don’t play,” I said honestly. Then I stood. I am
known for my exits. As I turned, giving him full view of what I considered my
best feature, I shot over my shoulder, “Think about it.” Then I walked away.
Always...and I mean always leave them wanting more. I didn’t have to look back
to know he was staring at me. Let him stare. With my head up and shoulders
back, I headed to the elevator.
