noticed.”
“Don’t say that.”
“It’s true. Wanting you and not being with you is like torture.” He needed to bury himself so deep inside her neither of them would know where he ended, and she began.
Her hands dove under his shirt, her fingers cool on his burning flesh. Justin tugged down one of her dress straps, kissed her throat, the sinew at the side of her slender neck, and worked his way down toward the swell of her breast. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he registered that he was moving too fast, but he was too inebriated by Lily to gather the strength he needed to pull back. He eased her dress down enough to uncover her breasts, unable to resist closing his mouth on one pebbled nipple.
She gasped the sound raw with desire as she sunk her fingers into his hair to cradle his head. “Justin...yes... oh ...”
Encouraged by her husky pleas, he bunched the skirt of her dress in his hands and rucked it up until his palms encountered her firm butt. A quick roam over her neat bottom told him she wore a thong. The discovery nearly brought him to his knees.
“Lily.” Her name tore from his chest on a low groan.
All these months, he’d dreamed of making love to her, but in none of the wild and lusty scenarios had she ever been drunk, and he had never taken advantage of her. She’d never shown any interest in him as more than a friend, and if he made love to her tonight, while she was intoxicated, she’d never forgive him. Hell, he’d never forgive him!
As much as it pained, Justin knew what he had to do. He forced his mouth to stop suckling her nipple, smoothed down her dress, and put her away from him.
“I want you, but not like this, Lil.”
Her confused gaze nearly made him forget his honourable intentions and pull her back into his arms, but he wanted her to know he respected her enough to wait. “When you sober up, we’ll talk.”
He handed her back her coffee.

MEET THE AUTHOR
Monique DeVere grew up on a plantation on the beautiful island of Barbados, where her childhood was all about exploring and letting her imagination run wild. She spent her teen years in the UK where she still lives with her amazing hero husband, four beautiful children, and two incredible grandkids.
Monique wrote her first novel at age fifteen but had her heart set on becoming a doctor until she discovered that raising her kids was far more desirable. Since writing had always been her favourite pastime, she naturally turned to writing as her preferred job and has had short stories published and read on radio.
Sure that medicine is her second calling, she still has a desire to heal, and has gained degrees in Homeopathy and Herbalism and currently has her eye on a Holistic Nutrition degree course.
However, her first love will always be writing. She loves to create fun, emotional romances and movie scripts. Her stories come in three categories: sweet, sensual, and sizzling Rom- Coms .
Monique loves to hear from her readers. You can contact her by visiting her website: www. moniquedevere.co.uk or blog: http://moniquedevere.blogspot.co.uk to learn more about her and check out her other books.
