Party of Three (Sunday Night Dinner Club #1 Page 10


  “Can I say one thing before I go?”

  “If I don’t kill you first.”

  The corners of his mouth twitched and he flashed her a smile. That was Liv. A fighter to the end.

  “Don’t you dare smile at me.” She pointed at the door. “Comment and leave.”

  James shook his head, his mind in a foggy cloud. Whatever he’d been about to say was forgotten. Damned if he could remember a thing when her nipples had hardened into beads and were pointing in the same direction as her finger.

  “James!”

  “Liv…”

  “Leave.” She raised the lotion in threat.

  “I’m going.” Somehow he managed to backtrack to the door.

  “Close it behind you,” she demanded.

  “Okay.” Ah, right. Now he remembered what he’d wanted to say. “Liv?”

  “What?” she snapped.

  Something inside of James unraveled, as though a tension he never knew he carried around with him had just eased. “You…you’re… Shit.” He swallowed, stunned by what he was about to say. No, stunned by how much he meant what he was about to say. “Y-you’re beautiful. Fucking gorgeous, really.”

  She blinked in surprise. “James?”

  “Yeah, pretty one?”

  Liv smiled, sweetly this time. “I’m bringing arsenic with me to dinner. Better check your food before you eat it.”

  About the Author

  Once Jess discovered it was okay to leave the bedroom door open in her romance novels, she decided to leave everything open. Buttons, zips, pants, number of lovers... Which is why her books are all steamy erotic romances.

  While Jess lived most of her life in South Africa, the last twelve years have been spent in Australia. From the fast paced Sydney lifestyle to the laid back islands and beaches, there's always another gorgeous Aussie setting for a contemporary romance.
