First Kiss Friday

Today’s first kiss comes from Dracones Awakening by Sheri-Lynn Marean

Two fallen are dead, Tierney’s father is missing, and Jax refuses to believe they’re soul mates.

Jax’s eyes darkened and the faintest light filled them. “Damn, Tierney. First Serena almost kills you, then those men start shooting at us. My power fails, and you stop and go back—”

Tierney swallowed the lump in her throat. “Jax—”

“No, don’t.” He drew in a deep breath and exhaled. “You really scared me.”

A thrill shot through her, could he care more than she thought?

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

Jax leaned his head back to stare up at the white billowy clouds.

Tierney watched a hawk dive low over the lake. Gods, her emotions flitted from one extreme to another.

“We did save Thaniel, and Mark, and many others,” he said, startling her out of her reverie.

“We did, didn’t we?”

A smile twitched at the corners of his mouth, and the desire in his eyes set her body on a slow burn. Tierney bit her bottom lip and waited, anticipation fluttering inside as he leaned close.

Then sweet, demanding lips met hers and nothing she’d tasted before could compare. Jax’s unique masculine scent set her pulse racing. Heady with desire, Tierney moaned as his tongue delved deep, touching, tasting, claiming her.
