From Tales from the Temple IV: Body Chemistry
Blurb:
Lukas Brenner is master of Case Pharmaceuticals’ research lab--even if he tends toward the clumsy side. He can light a Bunsen burner with one hand tied behind his back, and even the most stubborn glass tubing bends to his will. But when it comes to women, he’s a complete dud. The minute he opens his mouth they run. That is, until the night of the company Christmas party.
Secretary Allie Larson has a soft spot for the underdog, including bald cats, poodles with screeching barks...and Lukas. Who wouldn’t? He’s one gorgeous man but his social skills are abysmal. Unfortunately, at the company Christmas party, her best friend stops her before she takes on another project: making Lukas over into the suave stud she suspects he could be. After he quietly slips away, she figures he’s gone for the night.
Whoa mama, was she wrong!
The chemistry blazing through Case Pharmaceuticals has nothing to do with weight loss formulas, lab rats or test tubes. Lukas’ quick trip to the laboratory before heading home has sparked a different kind of chemical reaction that takes them both by surprise. The major byproduct is heat, lots of it!
Excerpt:
Good God! She couldn’t keep her hands off of him, or her thoughts out of the gutter…and every minute was priceless. Accepting a ride home from him, and quite certain he hadn’t been drinking, she let her mischievous hands wander from her lap to his, and to the very large, very warm lump between his legs.
When she rubbed, his neck got a little longer.
She’d bet that wasn’t the only thing that lengthened.
He cleared his throat. “I hope you don’t mind coming to my place. It’s small, but close.” He glanced her way at a red traffic light. “And close seems to be the key word at the moment.”
She scooted in the seat, until her skirt inched up her thighs. “Yes, close.” Then she took his hand off the stick—thank God he drove an automatic—and dropped it in her lap. “I’m very close.”
He dropped his head on the steering wheel, and the horn sounded, making them both jump. She laughed. He didn’t. When a horn blared behind them, he hit the gas and they rocketed down the street.
“Only a few more blocks.”
“Good. Then I won’t need these for long.” She reached up under her skirt and slipped her thong off, then dropped it on the dashboard in front of him.
Two white-knuckled fists gripped around the steering wheel, he gasped. “Sweet Jesus!”
“You know…” She resumed rubbing his cock. “I’ve been watching you for months. And I’ve heard the quiet ones are wild. Are you wild?”
He visibly swallowed, and she sucked in another chuckle. She’d never felt so bold, so brazen, and damn it was great!
“I wouldn’t call myself wild, but I hold my own.”
“I hope you’ll be holding something else very soon.”
He stopped at a stop sign, and looked her square in the eye. “I will. In about five seconds.”
She parted her legs. “Good. One one-thousand, two one-thousand…”
She didn’t get any further. His mouth crushed hers in a wild kiss, practically knocking the wind out of her. His tongue thrust inside, probing and stroking, as a hand went right to her pussy.
As he found her clit and drew tight circles over it, she moaned into his mouth. “Oh, yes!”
Behind her eyelids, lights flashed. Horns sounded.
Then he broke the kiss. “Oh, shit!” He hit the gas again. “I just need to get us home. Then…”
Her legs parted, her pussy still burning from his touch, she asked, “Then what?”
“Then, all bets are off…and clothes too. I’ve been waiting a long time for this.”
“You have? With me?” She felt her heart melting. What a sweetie!
Nodding, he pulled the car into a driveway. “You have no idea.” His hands visibly trembling, he put the car into park, shut it off, and opened his door. “Wait right here.”
She waited. How sweet. A guy who still believed in old-fashioned manners.
He opened the door and offered her a hand out, and she accepted. Then he fumbled with the key in the front door, pushed it open, and waited for her to enter the dark house. No sooner were they both inside and the door closed, she was tossed over his shoulder and hauled through the living room to the bedroom.
She giggled as she bounced on his shoulder.
She had to give it to him. He knew how to take control.
He dropped her on the bed, flipped on a small bedside lamp, and a warm yellow glow cut through the inky blackness.
“Good, just enough light to see, without being too glaring.” In small doses, light was good. “Now what?” she asked, panting under his wandering gaze.
He climbed on the bed, a knee on each side of her ankles, and in one swift motion removed her skirt.
Lying naked from the waist down, she felt her blood pounding through her heart and his legs tensing against her. This man, with his ill-fitting clothes and sexy bad-boy stubble, was going to make her come without even touching her!
He was a god!

5 Ribbons!
BODY CHEMISTRY is all the title implies. The heat between Allie and Lukas burn up the pages of this story. I loved it!
Nickie Langdon,
MRS.GIGGLES
While the story is too short for depths when it comes to characterization, Lukas comes off as a genuine sweetie while Allie comes off as his perfect foil. Both are right for each other so the chemistry is credible, making this short story an emminently enjoyable tale.
4 Stars! "Erotically sweet" RT
Never was Chemistry so sizzling and hot!
Forget all these boring Chemistry lessons back in school. When Ms.Taylor teaches us the mysteries of Body Chemistry the last thing on earth you think of is the word “boring”. (Rating: 4.5)

A whimsically charming tale...
Tawny Taylor writes a whimsically charming tale with Body Chemistry. Lukas is a sweet man who has no clue how to talk to women. Allie fights for the underdog and has a thing for Lukas. These two will discover that chemistry is everything when it comes to romance.
