No-bake Chocolate Cake Recipe


(excerpt from "Fiji on Fire, Fiji on Ice")


Andy looked like a god in his tight black jeans. He didn’t have a shirt on and the muscles moving under his mocha skin made Tanya forget about chocolate cake.

She expected him to kiss her as soon as he had opened the door. Instead, he led her into the bungalow’s kitchen. It felt domesticated, and somehow more intimate than kissing.

The kitchen turned out to be a kitchenette. Tanya appraised the tiny space with mounting panic. No double boiler. No stove. And no oven. How on earth was she going to bake a cake if there was no oven?

“Second thoughts?” Andy stood in the doorway. His smirk was audible. “You could always forfeit the bet and ask Isabelle if she has more of her birthday cake left.”

“Very funny. Not. Did you get the ingredients from the restaurant?”

“Yup.”

“Good. Are you going to stand there the whole time, watching?”

“Yup.”

Tanya longed to touch his mouth again, to feel that hard roundness with her fingers and on her lips and under her tongue.

“I guess I’ll skip the step that says to preheat the oven, then.”

Andy nodded. “Just as well. Your oven looks hot enough to me.” His face was deadpan.

Tanya cleared her throat. “Where is the butter?”

“On the counter.”

“In this heat?” Tanya poked her index finger into the pale-yellow block and felt it slither all the way in. Pure velvet. Like a very ready pussy. Tanya swallowed hard. The craving for Andy’s fingers glided down her spine all the way to her knees. “Here, you do it. Grease the baking pan.”

Andy’s hand dug into the silky surface of the block. He took his time paying attention to the innermost folds of the baking pan, caressing until every inch was perfectly lubricated.

“One ready receptacle,” he said as he handed the pan back to Tanya. (...)

Cocktails and Fiji


"Fiji on Fire, Fiji on Ice" is Eve Summers' latest Red Rose book (published an hour ago!).
Picture a handsome toffee-skinned hunk on a coral-white beach. Sip a cocktail - one of the 15 mentioned in the book - and enjoy the hot action!

Excerpt:

Chapter One - Throw Me Down and - Me

The Throw Me Down and - Me Cocktail Recipe
1 1/2 tsp Southern Comfort® peach liqueur 1 1/2 tsp Crown Royal® Canadian whisky 2 tsp grenadine syrup 1 tsp pineapple juice

Place the two liquors into the bottom of a shot glass. Add pineapple juice and grenadine, mix well, and serve.

The moment Tanya Redford spotted the caramel-skinned hunk in the hotel foyer she knew two things: that the guy was a con artist and that she was in trouble–big time.
The con was in the sincere angle of his shoulders and in the forthright gaze. The con was in his smile, vulnerable with honesty. The con was in his bad boy charm.
The mixture meant trouble of mega proportions.

Tanya didn‟t mean to listen in on the conversation...All right, she did. The hunk‟s voice was like Kahlua and it slid delectably over her, caressing her skin and tingling her spine.
“I‟m afraid I‟m not much of a poker player, Mr. Lockhorne,” he leaned his body in toward an elderly couple and spread out his arms. “You‟d hate me for spoiling your evening.”
While Tanya did not believe the “not much of a poker player” part, she agreed with the rest of the statement. It would be easy to hate this guy once he‟d cheated you at the poker table. She already hated him for the way her nipples tensed up at the sight of his predator-like mouth and for the way her hands ached to stroke his tight jeans.
“Nonsense,” the elderly gentleman‟s voice boomed across the hall. “We don‟t take the game seriously. But evenings are so boring in this place– there is only so much Fijian dancing an old grump like me can watch in a week.”
“Surely, with a delightful wife like yours–” The conman‟s eyes blazed brazen as he lifted Mrs. Lockhorne‟s wrinkled hand to his mouth.
He held it there for about one hundred years, while Tanya looked on, transfixed. The air around her thickened, she gulped its heat in short shallow breaths. She would give all her days in this five-star beach resort in exchange for one night with that mouth.
