“It’s a guarantee.”
“Good.” She leaned up on her tiptoes and brushed her lips over his, then gently pushed him away. “You should go.”
“Yeah, I really should.” Yet he still couldn’t stop himself from kissing her once more. This time he slipped her a little tongue.
“Go,” she ordered, looking breathless and happy and so ridiculously hot he was almost tempted to face the wrath of his commander and simply not get on the chopper.
But she gave him another shove and repeated, “Go.”
“Fine,” he grumbled.
“I’ll see you when you get back.”
“Good.”
He’d only taken a few steps toward the waiting helicopter when he stopped and turned to shoot her a devilish look. “Hey, you know that ice thing you were doing last night?” he called. “When you were rubbing it all over yourself and pretty much driving me crazy?”
Laughing, she waited expectantly for him to continue.

“Well, when I come home, we’re taking out the ice again. I don’t care if there’s a heat wave or not. I’m definitely rubbing a couple of ice cubes all over your very un-vanilla self, all right?”
“Is that a promise?” she called back.
“Nope.” He grinned and repeated his earlier words. “It’s a guarantee.”

Color My Heart
? 2008 Red Garnier
A Red Hot Summer story.
Hannah Myers has had disastrous relationships in the past, but catching her now-ex-boyfriend cheating on her was the worst. As she picks up the pieces of her shattered heart, the last thing she expects to find in the hall outside her apartment is a young god asking if he can help. Yeah, he can help! He can take her clothes off, for starters…
Billy Hendricks has dated in the past, but he’s never met anyone like Hannah. Their sudden affair is supposed to be just a casual summer fling. But to Billy it is anything but casual. He’s seen the passion in her artwork, and he wants more from her than sex.
Hannah tells herself she will not fall in love with Billy. A smart girl needs to safeguard her heart. But how can a smart girl get hunky, wonderful Billy out of her system? Why, with another man!
With Hannah flinging her summer love right and left, things are bound to get colorful.
Warning: This book contains creative sex and a sinfully hot ménage a trois. It may cause heart palpitations, S.O.S. calls to your better half, and all kinds of 911
emergencies. Keeping the A/C on at all times is highly recommended while reading!
Enjoy the following excerpt for Color My Heart:
Ignoring the conversation around him, Billy watched Hannah as she laughed over something Lance said. He could hear her rich, throaty laugh all the way across the patio and he suspected she’d intended it that way. He sat on one of the foldout chairs across the lawn, his drink untouched over his knee, a hand curled around it.
Every time Lance brushed her arm or bent to touch her waist, Hannah kept stealing glances his way—as if to check if he was watching.
Hell yeah, Billy was watching.
And for a moment he felt like sending his chair flying high into the air—in Lance’s direction.
Hannah had asked him to act normal at the party, friendly, so Billy had stayed away.
He’d figured he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off her, so distance had seemed the wiser choice. And here he was, sitting like a trained little dog waiting for a sign to go fetch.
The thought made him grunt.
Her obsession about people not knowing about them bordered on the insane. And now, hell, now she was coming on to Lance. Right in front of Billy. Evoking a million spirals of emotions inside him, none of them welcome. Much less pleasant.
Billy wasn’t stupid.
He knew she’d been hurt.
He knew she was trying to get over some heartless bastard and move on with her life.
He could see the anger that lingered inside her in each of her paintings, but he could also see, feel, her passion.
What they had between them wasn’t normal. It was sizzling hot chemistry and more.
Her reluctance to embrace it, to admit that what they had was the kind of thing a million people waited a lifetime for, was driving Billy crazy.
