Blurb Karma2527s Slow Burn
Excerpt
Karma hoped he wasn2527t expecting polite conversation and was glad when he maintained silence. Finally, she couldn2527t stand it anymore and opened her eyes. His features were bathed in the silver light of the moon. Dark hair maybe. That nose. There was something about it. And those lips. She2527d seen them before.
“Henley! What are you doing here? On my spot?”
He peered at her, angled his face and his features came into focus. “Your spot? I distinctly heard you say this is free and not yours to own, Karma.”
“This,” using her index fingers, she made a square in the air right before her face, “is my spot. That,” she jabbed a finger in a vague direction away from her, “is yours.”
“All right then. Now that2527s clear.”
“Anyway Henley, what are you doing here?”
“Getting back from my mother2527s. She lives up there,” he pointed with his chin.
“You2527ll have to spell that out. Can2527t see a bloody thing in this moonlight.”
“Right over on Miranda Ave. And you?”
“Midland area.”
“Right, I forgot. Small world.”
“Yeah. How2527s that baby of yours?”
“The most beautiful thing on this earth.”
“ Remind me, boy or girl?”
“Girl. Alicia.”
“Think we could get together for some pictures?”
“Sure. Just let me know.”
After that, nothing more was said. Clouds wandered in bit by bit until they extinguished the light from the moon, shrouding them in its pale afterglow. Karma became increasingly aware of the figure beside her. She crinkled her nose. Definitely something woodsy maybe even citrusy. She felt the shape of his arm next to hers and had an unbearable urge to touch him. The light from the moon turned diffuse before it became dark.
When he did something, she nearly jumped out of her skin, she had so tuned out. His hand was under her chin cupping it, turning her face to him. She made out the shape of his face before he lowered his head further.
“I2527m going to kiss you, Karma. You have five seconds to stop me if you don2527t want this as badly as I do.”
His sexy voice slithered into her ears and five seconds later, his silky beard brushed against her cheeks and then his mouth was on hers. His other hand moved to her back pulling her closer to him and then she was in his lap.
