About Speed Dating:
Forget all
those other best-friend romances you might have read.
Jace and
Isabella have only known each other…since kindergarten. And he hasn’t been
secretly in love with her…for more than six or seven years. She doesn't make
him bristle with jealousy when she goes out with other guys…that he’ll admit
to. And she doesn’t get all flustered and confused when she starts to find him
incredibly sexy…too often.
But they
definitely don’t transform their friendship into romance…right away.
Isabella has
known Jace all her life, and she’s been best friends with him since high
school, when she used to date his best friend. Now she’s ready to settle down
and get married, and she’s decided that her sister’s wedding in three months is
her deadline. She’s going to find the man of her dreams in time to take him to the
wedding.
Now if only
Jace would stop acting strange and territorial so he could help her.
An excerpt from Speed Dating
Copyright © Noelle Adams and Samantha Chase 2017
She stared at him fixedly until she saw the corner of his
mouth twitch just slightly.
“I knew it! You’re bluffing!”
“Never.” He was obviously still trying to hold onto his
composure, but his eyes were brimming with humor, and he was having trouble
hiding a smile.
“Cheater!” Bursting into laughter, she tackled him,
playfully pushing him down so he was lying on his back on the floor. “You’re
cheating, and you know it, so you have to forfeit the game.”
She realized her mistake when Jace’s hard, lean body started
to rub against hers. Her heart began to race with excitement as her breath
quickened and shivers of excitement ran up and down her spine.
His hand slowly slid down her back until he was cupping her
hips, almost—almost—touching her bottom. “I’ll never forfeit. I’ll go to my
death declaring that Zoroastrian is a perfectly legitimate Scrabble word.”
Despite his light tone, his expression had changed again.
His eyes were hot. So hot. As hot as she felt.
She couldn’t stop herself from rubbing against him again,
and she suddenly realized how tense his body was.
Tense. And tight. And hard.
So hard.
All of him hard.
He shifted beneath her weight, and every little move he made
against her fired all of her sensitized nerve endings.
She wanted him to roll over on top of her. Sink into her
completely.
She wanted him to bury himself in her and never come out.
Jace closed his eyes and took a slightly shaky breath, and
she knew now why that was.
He was aroused beneath her. She could feel it very starkly
when she rubbed her pelvis against his.
She made a breathless noise at the realization, and she
trailed her hand down his chest to his belly.
Jace jerked in what looked like surprised pleasure.
“Jace?” she whispered, her hand grazing down even further.
It felt like there was some sort of magnetic force drawing
her hand down toward the bulge of his erection. He was sweating a little—she
could see it—and his breath was blowing in and out in short huffs.
He grunted, not really forming a complete word.
Isabella’s hand had reached his belt, and she idly played
with the supple leather. Maybe it was the wine. Or maybe she’d been holding
back for too long.
But she heard herself saying, “I know that we’re just
friends, and that we said that kiss didn’t mean anything. I know touching like
this is really against the rules.”
Her hand slipped down even lower, brushing against the bulge
at the front of his trousers. Jace let out a soft strangled sound in response,
as if he were desperately trying to hold himself back.
The knowledge was all she needed to know.
He wanted this just as much as she did.
“But I was wondering,” Isabella continued, lifting her upper
body so she could look down on his strained face, “if maybe we could break that
rule… a little.”
Other books in the
Preston’s Mills series:
Roommating (Preston’s Mill #1):
Forget all those other
roommate romances you might have read.
Heather and Chris don't
hate each other...very much. And they don't have sex all the time...at least
not at first. Chris doesn't go around shirtless, flexing his muscles and
driving Heather wild...too often. And he doesn't get jealous and possessive
every time she goes out with another man...well, maybe occasionally.
But they definitely
don't fall in love...right away.
When Heather comes back
to her hometown, she plans to take over her father's historic restoration
business and move into a beautiful converted apartment in Preston's Mill. Then
she finds out she'll have to partner up with the one man she can never forgive.
Chris Dole, who abandoned her father and betrayed her trust three years ago.
It gets even worse. They
don't just have to work together. They have to become roommates for six months
to prove they can get along. That means Heather will have to play nice with
Chris and put up with his obnoxiousness, his drop-dead sexiness, and his ugly
recliner named Flo.
She'll do what she has
to do out of loyalty to her father, but she isn't going to like it.
At least not much.
