As promised a few days ago, I’m posting a little excerpt from Rhythm Of My Heart, to let you decide whether Zachary Pace, AKA Jonah Speed – drummer of rock band Speed, is a bad boy or a good one.

Enjoy.

Rhythm of my Heart: An Excerpt

She caught her hands above her head and stretched, extending every muscle from her calves to her fingers. Then she relaxed, falling back onto the mattress and letting the luxurious post-orgasmic lethargy flow through her.

Zachary returned, inspiring a ridiculously large smile from Eve.

?You look happy.? He returned her smile.

?I am, Zachary. Like really, really happy.?

He climbed onto the bed beside her, tugging her into his arms. ?Ah, Tiny. Me too.? He ran his hand over her back. ?Would you believe me if I told you I?ve never come that hard?? This said with a ragged breath.

Eve could identify. Not only had she just had the climax of a lifetime, she?d had it after two other spectacular orgasms. She felt wonderfully sated. ?You have me wrapped around your little finger. I?d believe anything you told me now.?

?So long as you know I?m not just feeding you a line. Seriously, that was about the best sex I?ve ever had.?

She tried to play it cool. ?You?ve obviously never had sex with an Australian before.?

Zachary stilled.

His hesitation took her by surprise. ?Oh, Lord.? She pushed against his chest so she could get a look at his face. ?You have had sex with an Aussie before??

He cringed. ?Well, uh, kinda.?

?Kinda??

?Kinda?as in yeah.? He closed his eyes and fell back against the pillow. ?I?ve had sex with a lot of people, Eve. From a lot of places. Some of them were from Australia.?

?Some of them?? she squeaked. ?How many were there?? She stared at him, reminded all over again that it wasn?t just Zachary Pace she?d slept with. It was Jonah Speed too. The legendary Jonah Speed. The smolderingly sexy Jonah Speed.

Lost in the throes of spectacular sex, she?d forgotten that little detail.

Suddenly the sex didn?t seem quite so spectacular. Suddenly she didn?t feel quite as special and cherished as she had two minutes before.

Eve wished she hadn?t asked her last question. She wasn?t sure she wanted to know. Feeling naked and vulnerable, she sat up to look for her clothes but didn?t get very far. He grabbed her arms, pulling her back down so they once again lay face to face. Zachary cupped her cheek so gently, Eve forgot to shake his hand off. She forgot to breathe too.

?Eve.? He held her gaze. ?I?ve slept with hundreds of women. I can?t hide from that, can?t pretend I haven?t. It?s part of who I am?or rather, who I was. And yeah, some of those people were Australian. But?? his voice softened, ??but I can promise you that before tonight I have never made love to an Australian.? His eyelids drooped sensually. ?Never wanted to?until I met you.?

Something in her chest lurched. ?Zachary?? She couldn?t finish. Didn?t know what to say.

?What we did together? That wasn?t just sex. Not by a long stretch of the imagination.?

And just like that, he put the spectacular back into their sex.
