Cole’s mouth crushed hers, his potent kiss delivering a burst of electric fire that sizzled through her, melting her completely. He tilted her head and angled his mouth, hard and slashing, his tongue tracing the outline of her lips. He tasted like the coffee he’d swilled on the two-hour drive from the city, but hotter and more exciting--a double shot of pure caffeine spiked with single malt Irish whisky.
Her thirst for him ratcheted out of control and she could not drink enough, her hands traveling from his hair to his shoulders, her fingers digging into thick muscle.
“Holy cow, Brannigan,” she murmured, her lips vibrating against his.
“I know,” he said. “Shut up.”
My free Christmas read, I'll Be Home for Christmas, is up for anyone looking for something a little more warm and fuzzy.

Oh, I like Cole, especially his "thick muscle"
I like Cole. He's so hot and good and hot. Did I mention hot?
I love this story.
and of course love his response at the end there
A double shot of caffeine and single malt Irish whisky - he sounds yummy.
Oh, I love waking up to comments! Thanks, kids. I love Cole, too. Ah, that wasn't his only response at the end there. But...you know. Six. Ish.
Great snippet. Cole sounds like the kind of man I'd like to have in my stocking. LOL
Whiskey flavored hotness!
HOLY COW, indeed!
Hot!
Hot damn, now that's a kiss! And I LOVE that title.
Well, he's been working undercover as a bartender. He knows whiskey. (Also beer...but Lara doesn't know that yet.) Yeah. He's a pretty good kisser, right?
Hot freaking damn! You've outdone yourself! I love it :)
This is their first kiss, by the way.
In a place they shouldn't be. After about a month of approach-avoidance.
Oh I like Cole, Shut up and kiss some more!
Shut up? I love it!!
Damn that was hot! Why did you have to stop there????
Great post Taryn!
Thanks, ladies.
(I've stopped there. Cole, um, doesn't. But he does manage to shut Lara up. At least momentarily!
Hmm, now I want coffee. :)
Yum, hot coffee and a hot man!
heh, heh. That last line. Golden. I love it.
Great snippet and I really like the title!
Gotta love an alpha male :)
Oh boy, yes! Love it when the hero tells her 'shut up' so he can continue with his hawtness. Thinking about spiking my own coffee, now, just for a taste.
Thanks, everyone. Appreciate you stopping by!
Shut up? Oh, I hope she teaches him some manners. : )
Great excerpt...I love the description of the kiss! And the line "I know...shut up." Nice!
