Contemporary Romance Novel Excerpts Novels & Stories

She exuded the aura of a woman in control- as if she hadn't just weathered a heartbreak a month ago. As if she hadn't just signed a contract to publicly date someone for the sake of revenge. Damien emerged alongside her, decked out in a midnight-blue suit that matched the storm brewing in his eyes. Without a glance in her direction, his hand instinctively reached for hers, and their fingers intertwined. The crowd erupted into a buzz of excitement. "Mr. Cole! Is this your new girlfriend?" "Miss Vale, any comment on the engagement rumor?" Stopping briefly, Damien adjusted the cuff of his sleeve and responded smoothly,

“This isn’t a romance novel, Lila. It’s my life. And I don’t want sparks with him. I want him to leave me alone.” But deep down, a small, traitorous part of her wasn’t so sure. Meanwhile, Damien stared out at the skyline from his office, a glass of scotch in hand though the sun was barely past noon. Grace Monroe was dangerous not because she could ruin him, but because she could distract him. And Damien Blackwood didn’t allow distractions. Yet for the first time in years, he didn’t feel like a man in control. He felt like a man on the edge of something he couldn’t quite name.

“Tea looks fancy today.” “Chamomile with honey,” I said mock-proudly. “Very adult.” “Extremely adult,” he agreed solemnly. Then, with a tiny grin: “You know what’s not adult? The fact that I burned pasta yesterday.” “You’re never living that down.” He held up a hand. “I accept my fate.” Something flickered in the quiet between us—familiar, soft, a warm breath of the connection we’d been carefully rebuilding. Not the sharp magnetism from earlier chapters. Not the unpredictable intensity.

Beautiful didn’t even begin to cover it. She moved straight toward Damien without hesitation and threw her arms around him. “Darling,” she breathed against his chest, smiling brightly. My body went completely still. ———————— AUTHOR’S POINT OF VIEW HI readers, if you’re loving this particular story so far, I want you to comment below or go to the dashboard and comment so more readers can be attracted to read my book and you’ll as well, help this poor author in your own little way.

“Until you came to this house. So quiet and gentle, yet full of hidden fire. You have awakened me, Helen.” I turned in his arms and kissed him deeply. His mouth was cool at first, then warmed against mine. We stayed by the window for a long time, touching and talking. He told me more about his life while his hands explored my body. I told him about my quiet life and the pain of my recent breakup. Every confession made the touches feel more intimate. Finally, he stepped back slightly. “Sit on the desk for me, Angel. Spread your legs. Let me see all of you.”

“And lower. I touched myself while reading. I imagined it was you watching me fall apart. The author wanted to be seen completely, even the ugly parts. It made me so wet I had to change my sheets twice.” Adrian’s grip on my waist tightened. A low growl rumbled in his chest. “Fuck, Evelyn.

He tasted like coffee and raw power. When he pulled back, his eyes were darker. “Take off your blouse. Slowly.” My fingers trembled as I unbuttoned it, letting the fabric slide off my shoulders. My lacy bra bar

I reveled in the warmth of his mouth as I shoved my tongue inside, his tongue sliding wetly against mine. He gave as good as he got. Xavier was really good with his mouth after all. Yet, for some reason, tonight felt different. And it was pissing me off. I wrenched my mouth away from his with a scowl. “What’s wrong?” Xavier panted, his eyebrows furrowed. His lips were a little swollen, his eyes dark with desire. His hair stuck up in some areas, where it was mussed up by my hands. He was a beautiful mess.
