Stay.
Stay with me. Stay here. Stay close. Stay like this forever. Stay as happy as I
am right here in your arms, always.

All
I’ve ever wanted was to be loved, but if this is what true love is…I’m not so
sure I want it anymore. It also makes me wonder if any of my memories of our
once happy marriage are even real. Maybe I just conjured up the fairy tale in my
head because I wanted…no…needed it so much. Who the hell knows?
“Molly
just called to remind you about your book club meeting this afternoon.” He turns
away. “I told her you’ve never missed a meeting and I doubt today would be any
different.”
The
door shuts behind him before I let a smile creep across my lips. Instantly, the
hurt from this morning flees my mind and I feel nothing but giddiness. I have a
book club meeting today, and let’s just say it’s not your everyday book
club.
Sure,
my husband may never truly love me again…but who needs love when you’re about to
get an eyeful of hot firemen?

Tell
Me You Love Me is the first in a four-book series called Fire Me Up—a sweet
romantic comedy series about a group of sassy neighborhood women who have a
serious love for steamy romance novels and sexy firemen. Lucky for them the
local firehouse is just a few steps away and is in no shortage of hot
firefighters to fill their wild imaginations.

Excerpt:
“Nice to meet you, Lizzy.” I know the other guys called her Liz, but
with her sweet face, smile, and that sassy mouth Liz doesn’t do her justice.
Yeah, that mouth has me thinking all sorts of other things about her. I take her
soft hand in mine and hold onto it a little bit longer than I
should.
“Hey, Ryan. Welcome to the club.” Her eyes linger on mine for a few
seconds. She’s the first to look away and I’m happy for it because I don’t know
that I could have. I sure didn’t want to let go of her hand. I haven’t felt the
stare of a woman in a long time, but I know when one is checking me out, and she
definitely was. Not only that, but she likes that I’m looking at her too. I can
tell. I can sense it with her uneven breaths and the flush of her cheeks. That
sort of thing does a lot for a man’s ego and I welcome it.
She’s had me on edge since we first reached the midway point to the
top of the hill. I observed each of the women as soon as we walked up and she’s
the one who completely held my attention. Her long deep auburn hair, pulled high
in a loose ponytail. Her green eyes bright and playful. The other women looked
too made up and appeared to have spent time at the salon before coming out
today. But not Lizzy, she’s so relaxed like she’s ready to head out for a day at
the ball field.
I like that about her.
And I also liked her talking about my cock, if we’re being honest.
Fuck if that doesn’t have me thinking about her mouth again.
Most women would prefer to use a different word, but cock slides off
her tongue like a pro. I glance at her pink lips and instantly my pants tighten,
wondering if she can handle more than just the word.
I grasp the cold water in my hand hoping it will act like a iced cold
shower for my overactive hormones. It’s been longer than I can remember since a
woman has had this effect on me.
“Okay, enough dick talk.” Austin tosses a few strawberries into his
mouth. “Drink up, fellas. We gotta hump it.”
“I thought we were done with the dick talk,” the older one says. I
think her name is Molly. “Men, I tell you. It always comes back to your
peckers.”
I shake my head at that one as the rest of the group chuckles. Ain’t
that the truth. For most men, it’s been about our junk since the first time we
jacked off. Shit, maybe longer. My mom says she’d always catch me sleeping with
my hand in my pants from the moment I graduated to big boy pajamas. Her choice
of words, not mine. She still loves to tease me about it.
We toss our bottles into the recycling bin and pull our Air Packs onto
our backs before heading out.
“Bye bye, boys,” Lizzy says. I turn back to steal a look at her again.
The other women are chatting with each other, but not her. She’s looking at me
too.
