Worth the Wait

“What the hell was that?” Mira asked. She turned toward Neil. “What are you talking about?” he asked.“That kiss,” Mira answered. She looked at Neil with unblinking eyes. “You demanded that I kiss you,” Neil defended. “Yeah, but that was…well, more than... I thought you hadn’t done that in a while,” Mira remarked in an accusatory tone. “I haven’t.”“You certainly don’t seem out of practice,” she drawled. “You mentioned your ex; I thought you wanted it to be believable.” Neil shrugged.“Well…mission accomplished,” Mira muttered loudly. “Does that mean you liked it?” Neil asked her.“What kind of question is that?” Mira countered with a startled look.“A simple yes or no question, Mira,” Neil said. Neil moved closer to Mira. He wanted to kiss her again. He wanted more of her sweet flavor and, he wanted her to know that he wanted it. “Neil…,” Mira started.“Yes or no, Mira? Did you enjoy the kiss?” Neil leaned in close and spoke in Mira’s ear. His voice had gone very deep. “I did, Mira. And, I'm going to do it again.”Miracle Childe has been in a self-imposed dry spell for three years. Three Long Years. Did she say dry spell? Make that a drought. No men, no dating, no sex. After a failed marriage and with no real interest in any man, Mira figured that also meant no worries. The celibate life was going just peachy until she started hanging out with Neil Reynolds. Neil is the gorgeous brother of a friend, and as a fellow celibate, he should be the ideal companion. But when an unexpected kiss causes sparks to fly between them the very first night they go out, Mira isn’t sure what to do. What starts off simple, quickly becomes too complicated for Mira. When long suppressed urges battle for control and old fears rear their ugly heads, will the heat prove too much for Mira to handle or will Neil succeed in convincing her to give what might be blooming between them a chance?Warning: This book contains explicit sexual content.
