Sawyer: Scifi Alien Invasion Romance (Earth Resistance Book 2)
Page 20
Sawyer scooted up on one elbow. It was a good view. His t-shirt barely skimmed the top of her thighs, giving him tantalizing glimpses of hot pink lace.
“I could get used to this,” he said. “Lying here, watching you cook.”
She tutted loudly, scolding him with a wooden spoon. Then she gave a little wiggle as she bent to remove a plate from the cupboard. “Don’t get too used to it. I’m a busy lady. I have my research.”
He swung his legs out of bed, his bare feet hitting cold linoleum. Crossing the room in only a few strides, he grabbed her around the waist and squeezed her tight, his mouth grazing the length of her neck, forcing small sighs of delight from her.
“You were saying, Dr. Simmons?”
“Um.” She wriggled against him, every brush of her body igniting the nerve endings in his skin.
“Don’t plan too far ahead today,” he muttered, nipping her earlobe. “I have plenty of other things I want to do to you.”
She laughed, hooking her arms behind his head, holding him close. “Ben, I’m counting on it.”
Afterword
Thank you for reading Sawyer and Julia’s story! I really hope you enjoyed it.
My writing is inspired by a lot of nerdy internet searches and I had a lot of fun setting the scene for Sawyer. Crossness is a real and beautiful building that I took a little artistic licence with.

I’m already busy researching some cool locations for the next in the series, Darr, and hope you will join me in that adventure soon!

About the Author
I’m originally from the Highlands of Scotland but I now live in the south-west of England with my family.
My favourite films of all time are the Alien franchise, although I was completely gutted that Ripley never got it on with Hicks. I’m also partial to the film Lockout ;)
I write the books I love to read, with smart female leads, a hot hero and plenty of aliens. You may have gathered I like men in cargo trousers.
