Blurb:

They used to be a great team, but could they forget the past long enough to save their lives?

Finding herself in the wilds of a Penang rainforest wasn't something Magda was exactly happy about. Being there on a mission to recover an ancient relic that threatened world peace certainly had its appeal, but the heat, the bugs and wild animals quickly cancelled out any of the excitement of the chase. Adding to her misery was the arrival on the scene of the last person she ever wanted to cross paths with. Vincent Stone, her rival in the search for the relic, and her ex-lover. The man who'd ripped out her heart and trampled on it had no business being in the same country as her, let alone the same town.

Vincent isn't doing much better as he tries to remember why he'd broken it off with her. She made him feel more than anyone else but in his line of work, and with his past history, he didn't have room for a relationship. But damn, she made him want one.

Fate has a way of playing with realities though and as they teamed up they both came to realise that sometimes it was better to just go with the flow. They used to be a great team, but could they forget the past long enough to save their lives?

***

In this snog scene - Magda and Vince are captive in a deep pit in the jungles of Penang. They're about to spring out of their prison, so I thought it was a perfect selection for the Blisse Kiss Spring Fling!

Enjoy!


     Magda woke to someone squeezing her shoulder. She tried in vain to push the hand away, but it persisted.
     “Mags,” a voice whispered. Hot breath tickled her ear as the voice got closer. “Mags, it’s time.”
     Time? Huh? She opened her eyes, looking around her with fuzzy vision. Where was she again?
     “Mags, we have to get moving. They’ve been quiet for about an hour now, and we don’t have much time. Are you okay to stand?”
     Oh shit. She remembered now. The pit. They had to climb out of the pit. “Sure, I’m fine. Just give me a minute.”
     Reaching above her head, she stretched her arms, before circling her head for a couple of neck stretches to work out the incredibly stiff kinks she felt. Vincent was doing the same, although she noticed he was still seriously favouring his injured side. It must hurt like hell, but he was being a big man and not complaining. She had to give him that. He was no whiner.
     Holding on to the wall for balance, she stood. She rubbed her arms vigorously to counter the fact that the temperature had dropped considerably since she’d fallen asleep. She held her hand out to Vince to offer assistance, but he wasn’t having any of it, shaking his head as he struggled to get up.
     “It’s easier if I do it myself, Mags. I know which bits hurt.”
     Fine, if that’s the way he wants to play it, let him! Listening to his muffled curses, she walked to the other side of the pit where Vince had made the rough steps in the rock. She hitched her breath when she realised it wasn’t going to be as easy as she’d first thought. The angle of the wall was almost completely vertical, and some parts of it angled in toward the pit, so gravity was not going to help her here.
     The knot in her stomach grew tighter as she thought about the alternatives of not trying. She’d managed to piss off Thornton and his guards, so they would be out for revenge first chance they got. She shuddered as she remembered the lascivious sneer of the one guard as he’d gotten great enjoyment out of cutting her shirt off her and leering at her breasts.
She jumped when a pair of hands closed over her shoulders and a firm body leaned into her back. Her head slipped back to listen as Vincent’s warm breath whispered in her ear.
     “Are you going to be okay with this?”
     No. “Yes. It’s a piece of cake.”
     Cool lips touched her neck and she shivered again, although this time not from the cold.
     “You are braver than any woman I know, Mags,” he said as he smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear. “Never doubt that you can do it. I don’t.”
     Aw shit. Why did he have to be so sweet when she was trying to get him out of her system? She turned to face him and cupped his face with her hands. “For an arrogant bastard, you say the sweetest things, Stone.”
     Then she kissed him softly, pouring out all her feelings into that brief touch of soft skin to soft skin. Even though she knew he would never fully be hers, for this poignant moment in time, they were the only man and woman on the planet. When she pulled away, Vincent was as breathless as she was, and his sexy smile gave her strength.
     Breathing out on a sigh, she turned back to the wall. “Let’s get this show on the road.”

SUNDAY SNOG: THE RELIC


Hi folks.  This week I'm joining the fabulous Victoria Blisse in her Sunday Snogs.  After you've read mine, you should check out all the other "Snogs" too!  Click on the Graphic or the link at the end to go to her blog and see all the links to the sexy excerpts!


This snog scene is from one of my favourite books : THE RELIC.  It's a steamy action adventure and I hope you like Magda and Vince as much as I do:

*****

          Why did she do it? Why did she always have to go and piss him off and then totally throw him off balance by being so damn sexy? There was one thing for sure— being around Magda was never boring.
         And she was probably the most fuckable woman he knew.
         Just watching her swing those hips as she overtook him on the path back to the hut got him all hot and bothered. The Islamic disguise flapped carelessly in the breeze as it hung discarded over her shoulder and it reminded him of the trouble it was for her to stay in character. Nope, she wasn’t the submissive type at all, although from memory… she didn’t mind at all when a man took charge in the sack, as long as they got to switch every now and then.
         She turned her head and gave him a cheeky grin. “What are you smiling about, Stone? I’m kicking your butt out here in the jungle, you wimp! Pick up the pace why don’t you or it’ll be dark before we get back to the hut.”
         He chuckled to himself as the memories stirred his cock to life. He shouldn’t be enjoying himself so much when they were in such deep shite, but he couldn’t help it.
        “Not everyone can be a jungle warrior woman like you. Mags, but put me in my favoured environment and I am the Master.”
         She stopped and turned to face him, hands on her hips and a big grin on her beautiful face.      “Favoured environment? Where would that be? In a kiddies’ playground?”
         Moving quickly, he reached her, grabbed her shirt and pulled her close to him, their lips so close he could feel her sweet little breaths teasing his mouth. “Playground is right, Mags, but no kids are allowed where I am talking about. Strictly ‘Adults Only’.”
        She gasped, and he saw that cute little nervous tic at the side of her mouth just begging to be kissed, but he hesitated, waiting to see what she would do next.
        “You sound pretty sure of yourself, Stone. That’s very arrogant of you,” she whispered, her voice catching in her throat.
        “Not at all,” he breathed back, moving his free hand to the small of her neck and gently stroking her cheek with his thumb. “I’m very good at what I do, and I’m not afraid to prove it.”
         She moaned softly and that was all the encouragement he needed. His mouth covered hers and demanded entrance. She tasted of the tangy mangosteens they’d eaten for breakfast as his tongue explored her mouth, thrusting slowly in and out, exactly how he wanted to fuck her.
        Right now.
        Right here.
        Slow and easy, and making it last until their bodies exploded. He let go of her shirt and slid his hand inside, covering her bare breast with his palm. She kept her arms by her side, but her nipple pebbled hard in to his hand and he couldn’t resist rolling it between his thumb and forefinger.
       “Oh God,” she gasped as she broke away, leaning her head to the side allowing him to trail his mouth over the softness of her beautiful neck. He could feel the heat rising on her skin as her breathing became more ragged the more he touched her. Jeezus, she was on fire!
         He moved his hand from her shirt and slid it under the waistband of her shorts, slowly inching towards her gorgeous pussy. His cock leapt for joy when his index finger entered her body.
      “Jeezus, Mags, you’re so wet.”
       Her body stiffened, and he felt her withdraw from him, physically and emotionally. Shit, he’d fucked up again. Carefully, he removed his hands and took a step back from her, his breathing uneven and coming in short spurts.
       Magda stared at his face, her beautiful green eyes shimmering with unshed tears and full of confusion. “We can’t do this, Vincent,” she whispered.
       Aw shit… you’re a fucking idiot, Vince!
       “I’m sorry, Mags. I know we shouldn’t be doing this, but you just don’t know what you do to me.”
        A hint of a smile came over her lips. “Yes, I do, Vincent. Me and every other woman who crosses your path.”
        Ouch.

A great reader review for THE RELIC

The lovely Helen has given THE RELIC a great review in the latest ARRA Newsletter..

This is a great book set in the jungle. Vincent is one hot hero and Magda is a very strong heroine. I read this in one setting. This story is filled with hot romance and lots of action. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Great book.
