MatingRitual (10 page)
Authors: Ruby Storm
Kella crossed the floor quickly. His muscular arms wrapped
securely but gently around her and he pulled her up and against his chest.
Wrapping her thighs around his waist, she sighed her contentment. There was no
other place she wanted to be at the moment, not now, not ever.
Kella leaned back in his hold, knowing his strong arms would
keep her in place. She reached to touch his full lips. Jaggar instantly
captured one slim finger and sucked it into his mouth. Excitement rippled from
her fingertip to between her legs. A soft groan left her throat.
Jaggar held her tight as he retraced her steps to the bed.
Gently he laid her down, and in one motion his hands circled from her back to
between her thighs. He parted them.
“I can see how ready you are.” He followed the line of her
damp cunt with a fingertip. “Now you understand truly what the mating ritual
is. You want this, Kella.”
“Yes, Jaggar. Forever.”
She welcomed him into her arms and closed her eyes as he
entered her slick wetness.
Picture Ruby with her hair on
fire! Yup, that’s her every morning when she bounds out of bed and heads for
her home office. Ruby thanks her lucky stars that she’s a full-time writer and
a part-time matchstick. Although, there is a hint of a bulldog somewhere in
there, too. Once she sticks her teeth into something, there’s no turning back
until it works. Her husband says she reminds him of that little mouse who
stares up into the sky at a swooping eagle (this would be the mouse with his
middle finger up), daring that darn bird, and just about anyone else, to screw
up her day when she’s got writing on the brain.
Ruby loves to write, plain and simple.
So much so that she took a leap of faith in herself and quit her “professional”
job, stuck her butt in front of a computer and finally discovered what brings
her true happiness in the wilds of Minnesota.
Some might think that the life of
a writer is glamorous and enviable. This is what Ruby has to say about that: “Glamorous?
Think of me in sweats and an old t-shirt just beneath that flaming head of
mine, typing with one hand and beating out the fire with the other. Envious?
Most times my “new” job consists of long hours of dedication and damn hard
work, cramping leg muscles from sitting too long and a backside that for some
reason is widening by the week. But I wouldn’t change my life for the world.”
Most people who fantasize about
strange people and occurrences are sitting on the sixth floor of some
psychiatric hospital. Not Ruby—she gets paid for it!
