Mike and Hailey from my contemporary erotic romance, Swap, expend an excessive amount of energy trying to resist each other. This scene is an awkward morning-after they take things just a little over the line.
Excerpt:
I turned slowly; dressed in only my tank top and panties. I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to cover myself before I looked at Mike. I could feel my face flush, but it didn’t stop there. It was like a wave, and I knew it was an all-over bodily reaction.
Mike looked intense. Maybe even angry. He ran his tongue over his lower lip.
I couldn’t stand the silence. How would anything ever be normal between us again? Maybe I didn’t want this. It might ruin everything. Not only between me and Brent, but Mike and I had a great thing going, too. I didn’t want to lose that. “I’m sorry I didn’t get up to return your truck first thing this morning,” I blurted.
I saw his Adam’s apple bob before he started towards me. Just like last night, he tucked my hair behind my ear and his thumb grazed my cheek. My lips parted as I remembered every delicious moment of last night, and I knew he was thinking about it, too. I wanted to touch him. I let my hands fall and I wrapped my fingers into his T-shirt at his waist. My eyes darted across his face, trying to figure him out. What could he possibly be thinking? I wasn’t sure what to expect from him.
“Nice,” he said, his voice husky as he called out my body blush. “I wish I had my camera right now. I’d photograph you just like this.” He brushed the back of his knuckles over my already puckered nipple. “The cotton T-shirt, the sleep-swollen lips and slight but sexy bed-head.”
My hand went immediately to my hair.
“No, don’t. Leave it,” he said, taking my hand and directing it back to his waist. His hands found my hips, gripping me tightly.
