“Only if you promise not to break my heart.”
Dylan bit her earlobe, then cupped her face on his hands, his eyes mere inches from hers. “I won’t break your heart, Hayley. You know why? Because I love you.”
Tears burned her eyes as she grinned before clinging to him and kissing him. He ran his hands down her hips to her thighs, sending shivers up her spine.
A knock on the door startled them and they jumped apart, but he caught her hand in his.
“Are you ready to order?” the waiter asked.
“Please, bring the best champagne you have,” he said.
“As you wish.” The waiter bowed and left.
“Come on.” He pulled a chair out for Hayley to sit. “Let’s do this right.”
Hayley sat, and he took the chair beside her. A minute later, the waiter served the champagne.
With a large smile, Dylan grabbed a flute and passed the other one to Hayley. Her chest was about to explode with so much relief and happiness.
“Thank you for forgiving me,” she said.
“There was nothing to forgive.” He entwined his fingers with her and raised her hand to his mouth, kissing her knuckles. “I’m just glad you met me halfway.”
“Me, too.”
She leaned into him and covered his mouth with hers. She kissed him, showing him how much she wanted him, how much she admired him, how much she desired him, how much she needed him.
Dylan broke the kiss and stared into her eyes, the intensity of his gaze making her breathless. He raised his flute. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
She smiled, her heart flipping, and raised her flute to him. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

She would love to be Wonder Woman, Cheetara, Elektra, Buffy, Phoebe, She-ra, Rose, Korra, Cornelia, a blood elf shadow priest, and other various kick-ass female from comics, TV series, movies, books and games, but she settles for—the less exciting but equally gratifying life—a wife, mother, friend and a writer. Her heroines are like the ones cited above and she also writes about the heroes who drive them crazy— and occasionally hot.
Since her first stories, she wrote about 20-something year old protagonists without knowing it wouldn’t fit in today’s traditional publishing market. Nowadays, besides writing full time, she battles for the recognition of New Adult as a category.
