Excerpt:
AUTHOR NOTE: This scene is based on characters used in my novel, Dreams Eclipsed. This scene is NOT in the published book, but rather was taken out in one of the early drafts. I hope you enjoy visiting with Janet, Archer and Liam as they get to know each other...
The chair on the deck was really more of a padded oval bench with a back that extended three quarters of the way around the circumference. Janet curled up in the middle of it and stared out at the green hillsides. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks provided a comforting acknowledgment that the world continued on its axis even though she felt trapped out of time.
She was just about to call out to see if the men needed her help clearing the dishes after all when they appeared before her bearing blankets and pillows to make their outdoor nest more comfortable.
"I missed you," she said, mildly surprised to find she meant both of them. Liam with his blue eyes and neatly trimmed blonde hair, and his body that was as finely crafted as his mind. And Archer, dark eyed, dark haired rebel with a cause who could make her wet just by breathing.
Archer snuggled in on her left and gave her a hug. "Same here."
Liam joined them, stretching out on her right. Both men curved toward her, her legs rested over Liam's, but her shoulders were tucked into the curve of Archer's arm. She became aroused the idea of intimately touching them out in the open, without anyone else being able to see.
"This is perfect," she told them. "Just what I had in mind."
"So are you," Archer said, using his free hand to brush against her cheek. His hand continued down the side of her neck, but trailed off before it drifted any further than her collar bone.
Liam's hand right rested on her thigh. His thumb moved in circles over the sheer material. The other hand propped up his head so that he could look at her. Her butt was snuggled against his lap where his shaft occasionally throbbed to let her know he was warming up to her as she was to him. Janet guided Liam's head onto her stomach where she could run her fingers over the short, soft hair, or trace the curve of his ear.
Archer kissed her temple. She reached up with her left arm, wanting to compare the different texture of his thick hair to Liam's short blond cut. She didn't get that far. He captured her fingers in his hand and brought them to his lips. With the very tip of his tongue, he licked the webbing in between.
"We're really going to do this, aren't we?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder.
