Blurb
The first instalment of RISQUÉ REUNIONS
Ten years after leaving Walton Wood High School, Caitlyn Green still has a crush on the class heart-throb she yearned for in her final year. Organising the catering for a school reunion seems to be a great, non obvious way to meet Drew Hartley again, and either finally hook up with him or get him out of her system for good. The trouble is, back in the day, Drew was always hanging with his buddy, Steve… and ten years later, the two men are closer than ever.

Excerpt
Escaping from the hubbub of the school reunion, Caitlyn takes refuge in the gym equipment store - a notorious trysting haunt during her final year at Walton Wood and a place full of uneasy memories...
I doze and drift, troubled by fitful images of Drew and Steve and me, all jumbled up as if we’re all in here together, doing what I wanted to do with Drew that day.
I’m not quite sure whether I actually nodded off or not … but suddenly, I’m awake again, on red alert.
A sharp, clean masculine cologne pushes away the smell of mats and mildew, and a soft yet forceful mouth settles on mine.
My eyes snap open and I’m looking directly into Drew’s blue ones.
Fucking hell, he’s kissing me!
I try to struggle, fling him off, wriggle out from under him but he’s too strong. Stronger than he ever was ten years ago, with a man’s honed power and muscle rather than just a fit, enthusiastic boy’s.
And the kiss… the kiss… It’s like magic. Like wine, at the risk of sounding clichéd. It’s sweet and strong and intoxicating, and in an instant, I forget fight and flight and protests and questions, and just succumb.
I part my lips, allowing his tongue’s entrance, and at the same time coil my arms around him, pulling both the dream and the reality close. I know I’m being stupid, and acting like horny teenager I once was, but I don’t care. I’m getting what I wanted ten years ago, and I’m wanting more of it. Everything. All the way. The Full Monty. And if I can get that, I can maybe go away from here, draw a line in the sand, start afresh and find a good guy without always wondering about the one who got away.
Drew’s kiss dominates me. He tastes me. Subdues me. He kisses me so hard my jaw begins to ache while his hands explore my body.
He strokes, fondles, examines, probes. It almost seems he actually likes it. No, goddamnit, he does like it! I can tell. I’m not wrong. I’m puzzled, but I’m not wrong.
The way he almost purrs into my mouth tells me he likes touching a woman.
What the hell is going on here?
He’s tugging at my blouse. And I’m helping him. Within two shakes, the tails are out and his hand is inside, searching for my breasts. Finding them. Squeezing them. First one then the other. Squeezing with finesse and skill, giving pleasure as much as taking enjoyment in the exploration.
The next minute, he’s unfastened my bra with all the dexterity of a man who does the task every day. How can that be? Surely, he’s more accustomed to getting his mitts inside a pair of jockey shorts rather than a lace brassiere?
He pushes up the cups and I’m sleazily exposed. He cradles a breast, flicking delicately at the nipple, running his thumb in a tight circle around the pebbled flesh, manipulating it like a maestro of woman’s pleasuring.
And still he’s kissing me, owning my lips and tongue as if he doesn’t want to set my mouth free to ask questions.
