Two Sexy!

Two Sexy!
Stephanie Bond

Schoolteacher Meg Valentine has been dying to put some adventure, some excitement–some sexual stimulation–into her life! So when gorgeous bodyguard Jarett Miller asks her to stand in as a body double for his famous client, sexy beach babe Taylor Gee, how can she refuse? Although Meg's not exactly the sex goddess type, under Jarett's skillful tutelage–and his even more skillful hands–she becomes increasingly aware of her own sensuality.Sensuality she's definitely having fun exploring with the hunky bodyguard. But is Jarett in love with the real Meg…or in lust with the sexpot he's created?

“It’s time to end this, Jarett. Before we get in any deeper,” Meg said.

Jarett took a couple of steps toward her. “Are you talking about the body-double scheme we pulled off? Or something else?”

Meg twisted the towel she was holding and looked at him from lowered lashes. “What else would I be talking about?” she asked.

Jarett’s jeans became uncomfortably tight. He knew he should keep things strictly business between them, but he couldn’t. He wanted her—more than he’d ever wanted anything. He wanted her hair falling down around him and her glasses steamed up. He wanted to give them both a night to remember before they returned to the real world.

He crossed the room in a few quick strides, and curving his hand around the nape of her neck, he pulled her up to meet his hard, hungry kiss. He slid his hands up her back and into her hair, causing the silky tresses to slip out of their confines and fall down her back.

His body leapt in anticipation and raw desire. Taking a step back, he looked into her bright green eyes. “But Meg, this could be just the beginning….”

“AMAZING. LISTEN TO THIS.”

Meg Valentine looked over the top of her BLT sandwich at her best friend, Kathie, sprawled in a chair in the teachers’ lounge.

“The wedding of actors Elyssa Adams and John Bingham cost a reported one million dollars. The gown alone set the couple back fifty thousand, and the cake, twenty thousand.” Kathie lowered the magazine. “Twenty thousand bucks for a lousy cake, and it probably wasn’t even chocolate. Do you realize that’s how much money I’ll net this year?”

Meg grinned, chewing. Besides being a chronic complainer, Kathie was a Hollywood aficionado—the woman spent every disposable dollar on celebrity memorabilia—props from movie sets, scripts, even a lock or two of hair from famous people. And she lived for every outrageous headline the tabloids could deliver.

“Those people live in a different world,” Sharon, another teacher, offered, pointing her fork at Kathie. “And I’ll bet it’s not nearly as rosy as you think.”
