Happy Sunday! Sexy Snippets are seven sentences taken from a work in progress or published book, brought to you every Sunday.

Today, I give you a sexy snippet from my WIP, the erotic contemporary romance A Thorned Rose in the Sand. To place you in the context, Ragab has taken Stevie to a well in the middle of nowhere so she can wash. She can do with a bucket, of course, but the problem is lack of privacy…

Ragab came with the bucket and placed it by her jacket on the ground.

“Thanks,” she said. “Now, look away.”

Without a word, he went to her motorcycle and studied it, keeping his back to her.

She turned away to take off the leather pants, her sticky socks, the sweat-soaked top, and her panties, and knelt on the jacket. The sun torched her naked skin, but she smelled something like rotten eggs and had to wash.

Quick, now.

She dipped her hands in the bucket and oh! pulled them out again, splashing water to the sides. I-c-e f-u-c-k-i-n-g c-o-l-d. How was that possible in the Sahara, the hottest desert in the world?

She glanced behind to check if Ragab had noticed her reaction.

He still stood by the bike, head tilted in deep scrutiny.

After his studies in London, Ragab has returned to the nomadic lifestyle of his Bedouin family and the majestic silence of the Sahara. His days are spent herding camels and dreaming of the perfect wife, until a beautiful and extraordinarily feisty bike driver stuck in a sand dune turns his quiet world upside down.

When the rat-race of life in a big U.S. city becomes too much, Stevie Jones decides to change track and live her wildest dream – compete against the tough guys in a thrilling motorcycle rally across Morocco. But to her surprise, the real excitement is to be found away from the race track, in the shifting sands of the desert…
