ONCE IN A BLUE MOON - Lori Foster
“SHE NEEDED HIM”
He wanted to oblige her. Damn, did he want to oblige her. Casually, Stan moved closer to her until he invaded her space, and her alarm thumped louder with every beat of her heart. He left himself wide open to her, relishing each tingle she felt, absorbing each small shiver of excitement—and letting it excite him in return.

Jenna never wore lipstick, and he liked the look of her soft, full lips glistening from the glide of her tongue. Oh, yeah, he liked that a lot. “You feel . . . warm, Jenna.”
Her breaths came fast and uneven. “I’ve been . . . working.”
And fantasizing. About him.

Lunacy, that’s what they’d call it. Pure, plain, lock-em-up-and-throw-away-the-key lunacy. And all because of a stupid moon—the second full moon in July. If anyone knew, they’d label him crazy for sure. Not that he planned to tell anyone. He’d tried that once as a kid, and everyone had had a freakin’ shit fit, so no more.
