Today I'm highlighting seven sexy paragraphs from Loving Luke. I'm really pleased to have this story available again. It's been out of print for seven or eight years, so it was time. Thanks to everyone who stops by Twenty-Six Keys!

He
stroked from her knee to her hip, stopping as his hand brushed over her pocket.
Very slowly he dipped two fingers into her pocket and withdrew the foil
package. His heart pounded under her palm. He looked at her and licked his
lips.
“You
know, pretty lady, this changes everything.” He slipped the condom into his
jeans pocket.
Chere’s
heart stuttered then struggled to catch up to his. The dam broke inside her,
flooding her, readying her. Her
throat went dry. She didn’t seem to have any saliva to swallow and restore the
balance. Underneath the swell of wanting him was a humorous thought. No wonder
he’d insisted he needed to move slowly and seemed intent on driving her crazy
by wanting to wait. She coughed dryly and forced the words out.
“You
didn’t have any with you, did you?”
His arms
tightened around her. He laughed softly. “I really
didn’t think I’d need one tonight.”
He
sounded so sheepish she struggled not to laugh. “Luke. Let’s go to bed."
“Be gentle with me, Chere. It’s been a long time.”
“Be gentle with me, Chere. It’s been a long time.”

About Loving Luke:
Chere Palmer has had enough of boys who only think they’re
men, of blind dates and being polite to everyone’s cousins. She’s certainly had
enough of the cell phone company that gave her an infamous phone number. She’s
ready for a life of celibacy or an honest-to-goodness mature man, whichever way
it works out. Right now, it’s late and she wants to go home – alone.
Luke Fisher has had a bad day. The electric was off, he overslept, the computer network bombed
and he had to stay at the office until midnight to restore it, and on a Friday,
no less. Now, to top it all off, he’s got a flat tire. Luke calls the number on
his roadside assistance card and instead of help, he gets an angry female. He
tries to convince her he really needs a tow truck, but she’s convinced he’s out
for some fun calling a phone number made famous in a rock song.
It doesn’t take long for Chere to realize Luke’s
telling the truth. Taken with his sincerity, she agrees to go out with him and
a romance quickly blooms. But Luke’s past is never far behind, and when it
catches up to him Chere has to decide to walk away or spend her life Loving
Luke.
