Teaser “Tuesday”: Consumed by Dee Carney (Undercover Lovers)

You’ll notice that things are a little different this month. Yes, I realize it’s not Tuesday. In fact, today is Thursday! (Well, in my time zone at the moment…) Generally, my “Guest Author & A Giveaway” series are the first Tuesday of each month. As June is my birthday month… well it’s jam packed with not me! 😀 I decided to fill every Tuesday… (also because authors were like “you want to schedule me for when? So.) And so this month’s Teaser Tuesday spots get pushed to Thursday.

Also, this month, it’s perfect because there are four novellas in this anthology, and more than four Thursdays this month! Whee! So, each week a different novella from the anthology Undercover Lovers will be the Teaser subject. The book blurb is:

Who’s undercover?

Saffron Burton – Sensual food critic posing as just another customer
Tucker Lamb – Smooth as butter former conman posing as nerdy professor
Shane Madison – Dead sexy private eye posing as a Strippendale’s dancer
Katrina Killian – Brazenly sexual cop posing as a gang member

Four ultra-sexy stories by four great authors, with one theme!

Consumed by Dee Carney — It’s no surprise Chef August Jaeger’s rivals would do anything to discover the secrets of his signature dishes. When the curvaceous woman of his dreams shows up out of the blue, he grows suspicious. Fortunately, the best way to get to the truth is by offering a private dining experience that would teach her a passionate lesson she won’t soon forget.

Food journalist Saffron Burton has a job to do: find out what August is serving for Restaurant Week or lose her job. But with every course that passes her lips—and every minute in his presence—she’s finding what she really wants isn’t listed on any menu…

      Instantly, a series of decadent thoughts involving Saffron and the spatula raced through his mind.

Fuck, he could just imagine turning her over his knee and lifting the hem of that pretty black dress. Ever so slowly revealing thick, delicious thighs covered by sheer hose and then higher up to a pair of white–no, black–panties, damp with her juices and stretched tight over an ample ass.

Just thinking about it made his hand tingle with anticipation. To slap his palm against her soft flesh over and over again until her skin flushed a deep pink made his dick stir. The thought of maybe even adding the spatula into his play awakened the rest of his libido.

“I don’t know,” he said slowly, swallowing hard, “maybe a type A asshole who’s set on getting his way.”

“But what happens if he doesn’t?”

“Never mind that. He always gets his way.”

“You sound very sure of yourself.”

August slipped the last crepe out of the pan. With a different, small off-set spatula, he spread a light layering of raspberry compote on each crepe. Saffron remained standing by the stove while he gathered a large serving plate and a fork. “This is where the forceful part comes into play, remember? Now sit.”

Her eyes narrowed. “First tell me why do you keep looking at that spatula and then back at me.”

He almost laughed out loud. If only she knew… “Sit first.”

There was a moment’s hesitation from her, during which he wondered if maybe she really was having second thoughts. He couldn’t blame her. They moved at a reckless speed. But then Saffron sat. Before she could cross her legs, though, August stepped in between them.

The pace of her breathing quickened, her breasts rising and falling in what he hoped was anticipation. Reaching for the fork and plate beyond her with one hand, he slid the other onto the soft flesh of her thigh. “Now open your mouth,” he said softly.

Looking into his eyes, Saffron did as he commanded. As August lifted the fork topped with raspberry filled crepe to her mouth, he slid his other hand beneath the hem of her skirt. At the same moment her lips closed around the food, his fingers wrapped around the cloth of her panties. She hummed a soft noise, looking at him from beneath hooded lids. “So good,” she practically purred.

“Yeah?” He fed her another bite and then another. All the while keeping his hand against the softness of her skin. So close to uncovering her pussy, but not nearly close enough.

Thank God, he worked on automatic pilot cutting pieces of crepe, scooping up bits of raspberry compote. Feeding her. His mind remained solely focused on the fact he could slide his fingers against the plump lips of her pussy at any time. A war raged within him; the chef ensured she found oral satisfaction while the man in him wanted her sexual satiation.

Before he knew it, there were only crumbs on the plate.

“That was delicious. But you already knew that, huh?” Saffron asked as she realized she’d eaten it all. “What about you though? Aren’t you hungry?”

August kept looking at her lips. Unable to help himself, he growled, “Starving.” Adding credence, he captured her lips and devoured them.

The fresh taste of berries burst upon his tongue when he parted her mouth with it. Saffron matched him stroke for stroke, soft moans and encouraging whimpers driving him. Making good on an unspoken promise, August tugged on the panties still in his hand. She arched her body, helping him, wriggling out of the material until they were nothing more than scraps around her ankles.

Her hands clasped onto the front of his jacket before she made short work of his buttons, unfastening each. He could scarcely breathe for the need choking him as she pushed the material away from his chest. “Liebling,” he groaned. English escaped him. Words vanished.

Saffron pulled away, breathing hard. She placed a finger on his lips, sensing the frenzy overtaking him. “Shh… Let me.”

He was panting, but August went still. He clamped his jaw down, tightening until it pained him, but he found his patience again.

And it was fucking worth it.

Saffron stood in the centimeters of space he’d left her and with the grace of a ballerina pushed down the straps of her dress. Chin elevated, she slowly revealed herself, inch by creamy inch of skin. From the freckles decorating her chest, to the rose-blushed tips of her ample breasts and down farther to the rounded flesh of her belly, August stood enthralled as it all came into view. If anyone asked him if he’d managed to breathe during any of it, he wouldn’t be able to say. All he knew was the glory being uncovered before him and the pounding of his heartbeat.

Hands on hips, Saffron canted her head to the side. “So…about that spatula?”

“Turn around,” he forced through a tight throat.

She twirled slowly, a vision in heels and hose, and rested her hands on the island. With a husky voice, she asked, “What now?”

August picked up the spatula, sticky in spots from raspberry compote and moved behind her. Letting her anticipation build, he studied the slender shape of her calves, the dimples behind her knees, the delicious fullness of her thighs. He admired the heart-shape of her buttocks and the feminine contour of her hips.

“Well?”

“So impatient,” he murmured. His hand went to the slope of her ass, rubbing its round form. Saffron watched him from over her shoulder, teeth biting into her kiss-swollen bottom lip.

She cried out the moment his hand slapped one cheek. August offered her soothing words, circling his palm against the warm spot he created. “Are you alright?” he asked gently.

She blew out a breath. “Yes.” Her head fell forward, her face turning away from him, but August heard her next whispered words. “Again, please.”

Yes!

    I will give this anthology a try. I’ve read a review of the 4 novellas and they were all positive. Some are more humorous and others are more steamy. I think I will like the variety of stories in this anthology.

    Oh my! Go out of town on business and come back to such wonderful responses!

    @Darcy-Strawberries and Nutella…mmm…I’m quite willing to suffer lots. 😉

    @Stacie, @Jean, @Mary, @Jennifer, @Dana- I was so flattered to be invited to join this anthology by such a talented group of authors. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

    @Fedora-Dee tends to write stories with little more depth to them. Morgan’s stories are erotica where no holds are barred.

    @Marika-Thank you so much for reading the anthology. I’m so very glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

    @Dawn-I don’t think I could pick a favorite, so I’ll defer to Limecello for a response. lol
