| Big moment in my world. |
I shared a synopsis of Sweet Barbarian in this post and in this one, and here's a teaser excerpt from chapter 1:
Share body heat to warm the person up, not electric heat,
the Mayo Clinic website said. Without clothes. Geez, Louise. Karly hurried to her extra bedroom closet to get a
fleece blanket, dropped it on the floor near the stranger, then bent over him to work on
removing his wide leather belt. It was very authentic-looking, with a homemade
wrought iron clasp that looked like something straight out of the forges in Skyrim.
She worked it loose, then fiddled with the waistband of the leather skirt until
she figured out how to unwrap it and pull it away from his body. He was wearing
an honest-to-goodness loincloth underneath, slung low over his muscular hips
with a leather cord, the fabric draped over his bulging groin. His
well-developed ab muscles arrowed down toward his pelvis, and his thighs were
thickly covered in muscle as well.
Karly forced herself to stop ogling him and
scooted back to tug off her boots, shrug out of her T-shirt, and peel off her
leggings.
“Panties and bra are staying on, buddy, and I gotta get some of the
dirt off you before I can, uh, share body heat.” She quickly swiped at the
grime on his chest and belly with a wet towel before awkwardly straddling his
waist with her knees. She draped the edge of the fleece blanket over her
shoulders, then lay down on top of him with it, slowly, so as not to jar him
and cause cardiac arrest. His torso was cold, clammy, and hard, and she
shivered a little at the contact of her bare skin on his. She rested her head
over his heart, listening for his heartbeat.
Thump. Thump, thump…thump.
“I’m glad I didn’t kill you with the
electric blanket,” she whispered, resting her forearms over his biceps under
the blanket and settling in. She’d never actually lain naked on top of a man as
built as he was, and it was definitely a thought-provoking experience. His enormous
size made her feel tiny and light. She hoped she could produce enough body heat
to warm him up.
She closed her eyes and lay still,
trying to steady her breathing, listening to his heartbeat. Lulu came over to
sniff her fingers where they rested on his shoulder.
“You could help me out, you know. Curl
up next to his shoulder here,” Karly whispered.
Lulu sniffed his wet, matted mane of hair, then trotted off
to her bed by the hearth.
“Punk.” Karly closed her eyes, willing her body heat to seep into his cold torso, and waited for him to wake up.
