Here is a excerpt from Seducing Dare my book in Carly Phillips’ Kindle Worlds Dare to Love series. Enjoy.
The sound of the door opening drew his attention. Then his attention was caught by the woman who entered. She walked in like she owned the place. Everyone seemed to notice her and from her confident stride and take charge demeanor, she knew it. She walked the circumference of the room and although there were seats closer to the door and people who seemed to vie for her to sit next to them, she ignored them all. Her strut was all power, confidence and something even more intoxicating—sass.
When she came closer, he was able to make out her features—sloping forehead, sharp full cheekbones and rounded chin. The pale pink on her full lips showed off a smug smile with dimples on each side of her mouth. Her black hair pinned back with a floral hair-comb from her face and her tresses went to below her waist. The inky blackness against her porcelain skin made her cat-like green eyes stand out even more. The hunter green pant-suit she wore fit her voluptuous frame. She moved with calculated grace, yet like a predator. The way she looked and moved came together in a package of a sultry woman.
He sat back and watched the reactions she left in her wake. It was amusing the men couldn’t help staring as she passed. While many of the women did the same and the others poked their companions in the side. Terrance chuckled just as she came by him.
She paused beside him and met his gaze.
In her eyes, he saw she was waiting for his offer for her to join him. He held back a snort at her arrogance. If she wanted to sit, then she would do so. She didn’t need him to fawn over her, like everyone else seemed to be doing. Terrance looked away and returned his attention to the speaker. The poor man had lost the attention of the back of the room and had no idea it was because of the woman.
“May I?” she asked in a soft melodious voice.
Terrance glanced up and met that gaze.
The woman stared at him with a look in her eyes he couldn’t identify. He didn’t reply, just pulled out the chair. She gracefully slid into the seat next to him. The woman put down her dark green briefcase and he noted the gold initials of AR.
She scooted her chair under the table, put her hands under her chin and stared at him.
Terrance returned her scrutiny.
The woman chuckled and it was a sensual sound. “Your eyes are a very mysterious. There is a lot there.”
“They’re the same color as yours.” Terrance shrugged. “You know how to make an entrance.”
She grimaced. “I didn’t plan on it.” She shrugged with a delicate motion. “It’s actually not what I like at all.”
“I can relate.” He shook his head. “Happens to me all the time.”
“Really…wait, you do seem familiar.” She tilted her head and studied him again. “Oh, I have it. You’re that football player who was in the news a lot over a year ago. The one who was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Then kicked cancer’s ass, came back and played.” She smiled. “That was strength.”
Terrance waited for her to continue. Usually, when people saw him after his bout with cancer, they tended to only see the disease he beat and wanted to talk about it. He didn’t want only that to define him. He was still him.
“So…what are your thoughts on the conference so far?”
He blinked feeling surprised at her shift subject change.
The woman’s smile widened. “That is such a good look on you.”
“What?”
“Being shocked about something. I bet you’re not shocked easily.”
Terrance chuckled. “Yes.”
