Pure Indulgence
Janelle Denison

Kayla Thomas is counting on her latest idea to clinch the success of her bakery–aphrodisiac chocolates! But first she needs an unsuspecting test subject to ensure the candy is as stimulating as she hopes. So when yummy restaurant owner Jack Tremaine steps into her shop, she decides he's just the man she needs.And if Kayla just happens to be around when Jack needs to let loose some lust…well, it's all in the name of science, right?Jack is more than happy to sample anything Kayla's offering. The chocolates are good, but he has the feeling sex with Kayla will be absolutely delicious! Although he wants to convince her to add her delectable desserts to his dinner menu, it's suddenly more important for Jack to satisfy his hunger for the shapely chef. He simply has to kiss the cook–and he has no intention of stopping there….

“Mmmm.”

Jack made the sound low in his throat as he chewed the chocolate. “I like it. What is the candy called?”

“Heavenly Kisses.”

A slow, purely male smile curved his lips. “The taste…the name…” His gorgeous blue eyes darkened with desire as he stared at Kayla’s mouth. “It conjures up all kinds of possibilities, don’t you think?”

“Try another,” she urged breathlessly, aroused by the sexual magnetism that radiated off him.

Kayla had no idea how long it might take for the stimulant to take effect on Jack…but by all appearances, the aphrodisiac seemed to be working fast!

He picked up another piece and bit off half of it, then lifted the remaining half to her mouth, tempting her. “Your turn,” he said, and gently slipped the chocolate past her parted lips.

Her tongue touched his finger as she accepted his offering, and he groaned again. She found herself mesmerized by the erotic heat flaring in his eyes. He stepped closer, bringing with him the delicious heat of his body.

“How about we see if that candy of yours lives up to its name?” he whispered just before his lips claimed hers….

Dear Reader,

Have you ever wondered if those advertisements for aphrodisiacs really work? Sprinkle a bit in your food or drink and voilà, you’re instantly in the mood? Well, Kayla Thomas, my heroine of Pure Indulgence, is curious enough to give it a try and decides to add an aphrodisiac to some very sensual candies she’s creating for her bakery shop. And who better to test those candies on than the sexy hero, Jack Tremaine? The results are very stimulating….

I hope you enjoy Kayla and Jack’s fun, sexy story. I love to hear from my readers, and you can write to me at P.O.

“OH, GOD,” Jillian moaned in pure, unadulterated ecstasy. “Your triple fudge Bavarian torte is right up there with great sex—not that I’ve had any of that lately.”

Kayla Thomas grinned at her sister’s cheeky comment as Jillian sampled another bite of the new dessert Kayla had concocted that morning. “I can barely remember what sex is like, great or otherwise,” she replied wryly. “That’s how long it’s been for me.”

“Fortunately, you’re surrounded by the next best thing. Chocolate.” Jillian waggled her brows in a lascivious manner. “And lucky me, I get to be your official taste tester. This one is a definite winner and gets a five-moan recommendation.”

Kayla laughed and continued arranging an assortment of petits fours on a silver tray. “Oh good, I’ll be sure to put that on the packaging label.” Thoughtful for a moment, she then added, “Since the torte has your approval, I think I’ll include it as one of the desserts for the Chamber of Commerce function I’m catering tonight.”
