Welcome to Mid-Week Tease. It's been a while wince I joined the fun weekly event organised by Angelica Dawson. Writers are welcome to join in by signing up and sharing an excerpt from their work, completed or in progress.
My teaser comes from Scars, book 1 of the Passion Shields series. In this scene, Selina and Benjamin are at their wedding party when this happens. Enjoy.

"You're coming with me." Ben's fingers circled her upper arm, his grip rough and urgent, helping her up.
She glanced around, confused by his abrupt action. "What? We can't abandon our guests."
"We'll only be gone for a few minutes. Chris will cover for us if anyone asks."
He didn't wait for her response and tugged at her hand. Tottering on her stilettos, she followed him out into the foyer with the bank of lifts. When he pressed the button to call one she had to ask, "Where are you taking me?"
"There's something I need to show you in our suite upstairs."
The corners of his mouth lifted in a boyish grin as the lift doors opened. Her gaze fixated on his lips—sensuously full, they were a mix of firmness on the edges and softness on the inside—and she wondered if he would kiss her.
Her pulse rate skyrocketed as they rode up and he pulled her into the circle of his arms. He looked so handsome in his fitted charcoal suit, broad torso tapering at the hips. Leaning this closely to him, his taut muscles beneath the soft silk fabric offered protection as well as a glimpse of the possession to come. With her head on his shoulder, his all-male spice permeated her pores with every breath she took.
"You do know we can't leave our guests at the reception just for a quickie," she said. Tilting her head so she could see his face, she curled her lips in an I'd-like-you-to-take-me smile. Her womb contracted in agreement.
Truth was, she needed to get laid—the hot, fast, sweaty kind. Since she agreed to marry Ben they hadn't been together, not even for a hand job. The mad rush to organise a wedding ceremony in such a short period of time, his insistence for her to move her things into his waterside penthouse apartment in Chelsea, combined with a pretty hefty schedule at work for both of them had left little time for anything else.
"Who says we can't?"
He kissed her, a ruthless sweep of his tongue and demand of his lips. She clutched the lapels of his jacket, hanging on as sensation assaulted her.
