Excerpt:
This excerpt is taken from the story Try for Love by Kayti McGee.
Mischa’s fingers trailed over the cold, mossy marble. She tilted her head, trying to read the inscription on the decaying tombstone. It was no use. The engraving was obscured by two hundred years of weather and neglect. She held out her hand, and Clifford obligingly pulled her up from a crouch. She leaned into his chest for just a moment, unable to resist the temptation to touch him at every opportunity. How had she been so sure this was a one-nighter? Because he’s temporary, she reminded herself. Steel up. He’s leaving in a couple months. This is a really hot fling. A really hot fling with a guy I can learn so much from about painting. That’s all.
“Ok, this is why we brought the crayons and paper,” she smiled up into his chestnut eyes, ready to distract herself from the magnetic pull. “Grave rubbings. I use these in my art all the time. Here, you try. Just hold the paper over the gravestone, and rub with the side of the crayon lightly.” Her hand rested on his, and guided the pressure he used to reveal the words on his paper. Mischa wished she hadn’t chosen to wear her cable-knit fingerless gloves; they kept her from feeling his skin as fully as she wanted. Every touch seemed to spark in the chill October air.
He must have felt the same, glancing up over his shoulder at her with lust-dark eyes. She leaned in to press her lips into his soft, full ones. His scent was all spice and warmth, and she breathed it in deeply. The wind kicked up then, and carried it away from her, replacing it with dead maple and the particular smell of a cold front. He pulled her lower lip into his mouth gently. She surrendered to his ministrations just before he bit her hard. The paper fell from their hands to the carpet of rust-colored leaves as they rose as one.
The wool of her gloves scraped against the stubble on his chin when she grabbed his face to tug him closer. Her mouth opened in response to his. He gently sucked her tongue into his mouth. The pain and pleasure mingled, causing her to squeal in surprise. His fingers dug into her waist and pulled her tight. Mischa grew dizzy for the tenth time today. Forgetting to breathe was something she’d noticed being around Clifford did to her. She clung to him as their kisses deepened and slowed.
