Dangerous Heat (Men of Fire) by Sloan McBride #RomanticSuspense #ParanormalRomance @SloanMcBride1
The onset of fire season should be the hottest thing about interviewing smokejumpers for Whitney Storm—until she sees Tom MacKenzie. He set her heart aflame ten years ago, then disappeared. As an emapth who doesn’t need emotional turmoil, this six-foot tall dark and dangerous memory has no place in her life.
As a smokejumper, Tom’s job keeps him face to face with danger and he thought he knew how to handle heat. But the uncontrolled burn whenever he’s near Whitney is hotter than he remembers. He’s ready to face the past and make amends. She’s made it clear she wants nothing to do with him.
A life-threatening problem flares when a killer’s greedy
obsession threatens everything. Can Tom and Whitney learn to trust each other
again and protect all that they hold dear, or will their world turn to ashes
around them?

ADULT EXCERPT (18+ Content):
He slanted an appraising
glance at her. She’d changed into airy yellow PJ’s that made her tanned skin
glow. Within seconds, his mind had the straps sliding down her shoulders so he
could feast on her perfect breasts. His fingers itched to sink into the flared
bottoms that barely covered her ass.
She straddled him
again. His swelled cock pushed against the zipper of his jeans so hard that
he’d likely end up with zipper marks imprinted on his anatomy. Whitney switched
off the lamp, pitching the room into a glowing twilight.
A playful smile
flirted with the corners of her mouth. “I wanted you all to myself tonight.”
“R-e-a-l-l-y,” he
murmured, lightly kissing under her chin and moving lower to the valley between
her breasts. “I need to get my mouth on your nipples.” He lifted his hips and
moaned when electric sensations bristled up his cock and spread in all
directions.
His hands moved
lower to cup her ass. Whitney lowered the front of her shirt to reveal budded pink
nipples that looked good enough to eat. She lifted slightly and rubbed a tender
tip across his bottom lip. He drew one into his mouth and pinched the other
with his fingers. She gasped at the initial contact, but then arched her back.
He teased the tip with his tongue, then pushed her forward and took the entire
areola in and suckled it. Without inhibition, Whitney placed both hands on
either side of his head and rocked back and forth, allowing him to give ample
time to each.
He slipped his
hands under the flared shorts. His fingertips met in the middle and smoothed up
and down the crack. She shivered and mewled softly.
Pulling her
breast from his mouth, she smoothed her fingers down his abdomen and teased the
waistband of his jeans.
His whole body tensed,
then shuddered. Pushing the front of her shorts aside, he ran his thumb up
fully aroused flesh to find her clit. Damn, she was swollen and wet. He slipped
one, then two fingers inside, still rubbing her clit with his thumb. Whitney
ran her fingers along the length of his denim-covered cock. “Shit, Whitney.”
Her hands
clutched his shoulders, and her hips moved slowly. “Damn, you feel so hot.” Her
tight channel squeezed hard. He was trying to drag this out a little, but he
hadn’t had sex in several months. If she kept stroking him, he’d likely blow in
his pants.
Whitney leaned
close and whispered. “I want this.” She massaged his erection.
Every neuron not
singed by the wildfires froze. What had changed while he was gone? He swore beneath
his breath, and his already hard shaft twitched. “You’re killing me, honey.” Torn
between lust and common sense, he debated for all of three seconds. “Undo the
snap.” He removed his fingers from her body.
He helped her
rise onto her knees. She unbuttoned, then unzipped. Tom lifted so she could
pull the jeans down past his knees. When she rose to take them off the rest of
the way, he stopped her. “Don’t bother. Come here.”
With one hand on
the small of her back, he slid the other between his legs and wrapped it around
the steely erection. “Look at what you do to me.” Whitney watched as he palmed
his cock, which turned him on even more, if that were possible.
Whitney gasped. Her
eyes were dark and sultry with desire. He spread her legs wider. “Move the damn
flimsy material aside,” he ordered, his voice strangled. Fisting himself, he guided
the tip up and down to tease her clit, and watched her juices coat him. “Sweet
Jesus,” he groaned, and dug into his back pocket to pull out a condom.
Tom ripped the
packet open with his teeth, rolled the condom on and held lightly to Whitney’s
hips, easing inside her. “Fuck, you are so tight,” he gritted out.
She widened her
legs and swallowed the last hard inches of him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the
sweet sensation of her sheath snug around his cock. Inside, the wolf howled.
Whitney raised
and lowered herself. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders, but he hardly
noticed. Her small chuffs were the kind of music he wanted to hear every night
for the rest of eternity. Tremors erupted, sending pleasure through her body,
rippling into him. She bit down on her lip, riding the orgasmic wave. He felt
the sensations and grunted out his release.
Whitney laid her
head on his shoulder, trying to catch her breath. He felt oxygen deprived too.
She smiled. “Wow!”
Slowly, she unsnapped his shirt and ran her hands along the expanse of flesh
across his chest. “I’d thought maybe you’d be too tired, but… wow.”
“I was too tired.”
The rumbles of his laughter pounded against her hand, and he hugged her. “Guess
a sexy, beautiful woman was all it took to perk me up.”
“I don’t know. You
looked like the first side of death.”
“Brief adrenaline
rush, maybe.”
She slanted him a
sexy look. “Maybe.”
He rubbed his
chin along the top of her head. “Mmmmm. You smell good.”
She sat up. “It’s
late. Let’s get you into bed.”
His heart
stuttered, or his breath did. Had he heard her correctly? “Bed? Us?”
“Yeah.” She slid
off his lap and reached out her hand to him. “You’re exhausted, and I have a
nice queen-size bed upstairs.”
So much, so fast.
This had to be a dream. A hot, numbing blissful ride that he knew would most
likely end when she came to her senses again. He might as well enjoy it until
he passed out.
He stood and
pulled his jeans up, but didn’t fasten them. “With you lying next to me, I’m
not sure I’ll get much sleep.”
She smiled. “That’s your problem.”
