TIME…Get to know Ember Leigh’s work!

romance novel ‘Jaded’ for half off at Breathless Press.
Casey hasn't seen Carlos in four years, but a
business trip brings the ex-lovers together, making them question whether the
spark is still really there.
Blurb: Recently divorced, Casey has been longing for a man's touch. So when
business brings her back to Carlos, the one that got away, it has to be fate.
The four years apart have only done him better, and all she can think about is
having his arms, and body, wrapped around hers. But Carlos is not the same man
he was four years ago, and Casey too is feeling the weight of too much time
gone by. Can Casey help reignite his fire or has time left them behind?
EXCERPT:
Her breath caught as she followed him up the staircase, tucked to
the far side of the house. Carlos had always been fit enough, but it looked
like he'd taken up some new form of exercise in the past four years. He was
beefier, yet still lean. His ass moved round and tight in front of her as they
climbed the stairs. At the landing, he gestured in front of them.
"This is my studio, but it's all yours for tonight."
It was a rec room that took up the whole second floor, and far more
standard male than the ground floor alluded to. Movie posters, gaming systems,
books scattered on floors and coffee tables, and, off to one side, the trumpet,
asleep in a bed of sheet music. In the corner there was an overstuffed couch
just about as wide as she was long – it would be great to sleep on, even better
if he could bend her over that armrest and fuck her until dinner was ready.
She cleared her throat, deciding adult friendships could be fun,
even after four questionable years. "I thought I'd be sharing a bed with
you?" She tried to keep her tone playful as she sauntered toward the
couch. She tossed him a smile and she caught a glimpse of him looking very
stricken. Shit. Too far. Things are too
different now. Abort!
Maybe too much time had passed in general. Maybe he was courting a
girl and wanted to take it slow with her. Maybe he no longer found her
attractive, four years becoming the dagger in the heart. Maybe he'd become
celibate, or found her life too normal and boring. There was a whole list of
reasons why she shouldn't make the first move.
"I was just joking," she said after a moment, rolling her
eyes. "Come on, lighten up."
He exhaled slowly, looking down at the ground as his tongue found
the corner of his mouth. "I know it was a joke, Case."
"In case you forgot, we used to share a bed." She looked
at him pointedly, already horrified that the words were coming from her lips.
What was the getting at? Who had authorized this dialogue?
He squeezed his eyes shut and laughed softly. "Oh, I
remember."

I love the dynamics of old romances that still have all that sexual tension. You captured that in the snippet. Great read :-)
