Excerpt: His words were like silk, and I couldn't control the shivery way they made me feel. I shuddered even harder when he reached out and took my hand for the second time that evening. His fingers, with a guitar-player's calluses, stroked my palm and felt rough against my skin. Still, his touch made me shudder in awareness of his youthful sexuality. I wanted to pull my hand away from him, but my muscles wouldn't work. And then, he gave my palm one last stroke with the flesh of his thumb and smiled at me again.
