As a treat for you, I’m posting a scene from THE CRIB, my contribution to the PURE SEX anthology from Kensington. Sorry there’s no chocolate involved. ![]()
This scene is about 1/4 of the way into the novella, and the first full sex scene with the hero and heroine.
EXCERPT:
Stuffing cash into a small old-style school style pencil case I gave the empty pub a last look-see. Everything was clean and sparkly for the day staff the next morning, and I was more than ready to get out of there.
Heat simmered in my veins at the thought of the night to come. After sticking around for another beer, Devon had left the pub around midnight. He hadn’t come back, but I was pretty sure he’d be waiting outside. It would be too cruel for him to throw out a parting comment like he had, and not to be there when I finished work.
Then again, I didn’t really know him, did I? He could just be that cruel. But I was intrigued enough to not care at this point. He thought we were two of a kind? He thought he knew me well enough to judge something like that? Cocky bastard though he was, I was more than sufficiently enticed.
Striding into the office I tossed the pencil case on Jimmy’s desk. It held just over five hundred dollars in cash and various credit slips. Not bad sales for a Monday night, but not good either.
My heart clenched when Jimmy suppressed a sigh and reached for the bag. For a short time there, I’d actually forgotten the real reason I was back in town.
“How bad is it?” I asked.











Kane sat in his car and watched the entrance to the club. Since it had looked like it was going to be a long might, he�d left the club to grab a bite to eat, now it was just before ten pm and he was hesitating.
