What Love Is
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble EXCERPT: I hadn’t been held quite like this ever before, so tenderly yet with an unmistakable undercurrent of lust. I’d had embraces in the past, in another lifetime, that meant all kinds of things. Celebrations, commiserations, I-was-just-jokings, they’d provided so much I didn’t even realize until they were gone. One minute they were there and then all of a sudden there were no more shoulders to cry on. The shoulder that I should have been able to turn to was busy with other things, things that weren’t me, and that had maybe done the most damage of all. That had hurt a lot. “Are you going to hurt me too?” I whispered without even consciously willing it, so quietly that I didn’t think Jeremy would hear, but he did. Jeremy stopped moving and I could feel him looking down at me. “No. Bea, look at me,” he said. Jeremy let go with one hand and I felt his finger lightly pushing my chin until I opened my eyes and gazed up at him. Jeremy’s brow furrowed and he shook his head gently. “No,” he repeated. I lost myself in his eyes for a second and then raised myself up on the tips of my toes to get closer to him. Jeremy lowered his head and our lips met for the second time in as many days, a much slower kiss that soon had me as oblivious to the outside world as I had been while dancing just a few moments ago. The song faded away and our lips parted as I heard the sound of a couple people clapping. Our waitress was standing next to the young man who had been moving tables earlier and an older man, the owner perhaps. They were all clapping politely, but only our waitress had a truly dreamy look in her eye. When we had been interrupted the previous day I had been anxious to get some distance between the two of us as quickly as possible. I didn’t feel that now, I didn’t want to be apart from him even a single inch.

I wish you could move those sharing social icons up to the top of each page. It is difficult to have to go all the way down & back up to find them. Then you have to go all the way back up again to enter.

I'll look into what I can do about that! Thanks for letting me know- I'm still new at blogging and very open to suggestions! My site is on a free plan, so I'm a little limited to all the features I can add, but I'll be playing around with it this week and trying some new things. Let me know if there's any other things that would make my site more user-friendly!
