My Hero

by Kelly, Sahara

She could feel his hardness against her buttocks through the thin silk that covered her, and wondered once again at the strange quirks of fate that had brought them together. “Are you happy, my love?”

  Her question made him pause in his investigation of her breasts. “More than I could have imagined possible, sweetheart. I have you and Lalla, our life here on Anyela—what more could I ask?”

  She smiled. “Well...” She took his hand and lowered it slightly until it covered her belly. “Perhaps the addition of a small Celtic warrior might complete our joy?”

  Cullen froze, not misunderstanding her at all. “Good God. Really?”

  Neala chuckled. “Really. And you shouldn’t be surprised, given what we get up to. And how often we get up to it.”

  He turned her in his arms, and she sighed with pleasure at the love she saw in his eyes. “I didn’t think life could be any better,” he said. His hand slipped to her cheek and caressed it with such love she felt her heart turn over as it had so often since she’d met this man. “I was wrong.”

  With strong arms he swept her up, and as she tangled her hands in his long hair, she banished all thoughts of distant moors and savage people to the recesses of her mind.

  Perhaps one day, they’d tell their son of Cullen Teague and his exploits. But probably not too many of the details. Certainly not how he’d won the heart and the body of a fiery Celtic woman. Neala blushed and hid her grin against her husband’s neck as he carried her off to their bed.

  That was a tale that was not for the ears of their children.

  THE END

  About the Author

  Sahara Kelly is always happy to explain to editors that her spelling errors aren’t really errors, since she was born and raised in England, where an extra “u” is quite in order. She likes to think it adds colour to her writing. Sadly, it’s not a widely held belief, but she still retains a deep affection for her roots, and thinks no apologies for accidental alternate spellings should be necessary.

  Arriving in America with her almost-complete collection of Leslie Charteris’ Saint novels and a passion for Monty Python, Sahara’s new life eventually expanded to include a husband, offspring, citizenship, and a certain amount of acclimation to her new surroundings. (She still cherishes that extra ”u” though.)

  After more than two decades of writing, Sahara is now enjoying the greater freedom offered to authors by the rapidly expanding self-publishing scene and looking forward to many more such experiences. Being freed of restraints has opened doors—for Sahara and many other writers. There are now no impediments; no obstructions barring the path from writer to reader. Which is, in many ways, exactly as originally intended when that first storyteller sat on a rock outside her cave, tugged her bearskin around her shoulders and smiled at her kids across the open fire with the words “Once upon a time...” (or however it sounded several million years ago.)

  SO INTO YOU

  S.L. Carpenter and Sahara Kelly

  Excerpt:

  Chapter One

  The sliver of light from the hallway thinned to a whisper as the hotel door closed behind Casey. She turned and bumped into Phil, a warm and solid mass of flesh that took her impact without budging.

  She lost her breath as her body hit the masculine wall but her choking gasp was smothered as his hot mouth enveloped hers. She matched his urgent heat, frantically seeking his embrace as he tugged her closer. Their tongues tangled together in a passionate kiss.

  His hands caressed her through the thin fabric of her blouse until he impatiently pulled it loose, finding bare skin and moving to cup her full breasts. She moaned with pleasure, encouraging him, telling him without words that she was into every touch, every brush of his fingers.

  He pressed against her, grinding his groin into her soft belly, simulating the sex he craved. With each passing second his cock hardened, knowing it would soon be buried deep within her.

  He took a second to catch his breath in the darkness of the anonymous room. Only a faint beam of light from between the drapes illuminated her for his appreciative gaze. Tracing the back of his hand along her cheek and neck he felt her move into his touch.

  He followed the soft path with gentle kisses and closed his eyes—a moment frozen in time. His hand shook slightly as sensations ran through him, electrifying his nerves. “You are so beautiful”.

  Lungs filling with the soft perfume she wore, he knew nothing in the world could make him walk away at that moment. Lust enveloped him, hot blood pumping through his veins.

  Phil battled for his customary control. He hadn’t made the mistake of losing it for a single night of unbridled desires in a long time, and he didn’t want to start now if he could help it.

  Casey grasped his hand and lowered it to her breast once more, whimpering at his touch. “Don’t…don’t stop. I need you.”

  He was rigid, painfully hard within the confines of his clothing. The emotions, and the need to feel wanted like this, were powerful aphrodisiacs. It helped that a woman this hot found him attractive, and when her hand grabbed his crotch he groaned and pressed himself into her palm.

  “Fuck, I want you so bad.” Her voice was low but ripped through his soul.

  Her hand massaged his cock and his desire to take over grew more and more intense. He squeezed her ample breasts, feeling the buds erect and hard to his touch.

  “Oh yes…yes, yes yesss…” The softly trailing moan signaled her pleasure in his attention.

  She gripped his cock like a vice and he held his breath as he fought the urge to erupt right then and there within her massaging touch. He wanted to be deep inside her when this fury of sexual need was vanquished.

  Reaching down he pried h
er hand away. “I need to breathe.”

  A soft chuckle crept from her lips as she slid down the wall, pulling her arm free from his grasp. She spread her legs apart; coming to rest low in front of him.

  Phil looked down but the darkness turned her into a shadow. Even that couldn’t stop a bolt of yearning, a burn so hot he knew their gazes had to be locked on each other. She tugged on buttons to unfasten his pants, and he put both hands against the wall above her head, sighing at the deep release of pressure when they loosened.

  His underwear barely confined the hardness as it strained for freedom. Casey moved his shirt up across his taut abdomen and he felt his muscles involuntarily flex beneath her touch.

  She peeled down his underwear, freeing his cock at last. Phil’s moan echoed through his body and into her hands where they rested on his bare skin.

  He could just make out the shape of Casey’s head moving close to his rigid arousal. Her lips kissed the swollen head, sending shocks of pleasure up his spine.

  “Fuuuuck…..” This was a fantasy come to life.
