About Get Laid:
Renovators have invaded the home
of Jason and Eliza Wu. The two haven’t seen a clean surface in months and, even
worse, haven’t had a moment to themselves. With stress in their work lives
added to stress at home, the couple desperately needs to have some fun. Jason
and Eliza embark on a bold plan to make love and get out of the house—at the
same time. Through a series of hot adventures and wild mishaps in the car, at
Eliza’s mother’s house, on the top floor of the library and everywhere in
between, Jason and Eliza find that not only can they survive renovations, they
might even be sorry when they’re over.
A Romantica® contemporary
erotic romance
from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt from the book:
By scooting the heaviest things
out of the way with the side of her thigh, Eliza could open the refrigerator
door just enough to slide her arm in and identify a wine cooler by shape. She
snaked it out of the refrigerator, but her hand slipped on the sweating glass
bottle just before she got it clear. It crashed to the floor and shattered,
soaking the lower half of her stockings and the big bags of flour and rice from
the pantry with pink, sugary alcohol. Shards of glass surrounded her and Eliza
swallowed, thinking of her bare feet.
Her husband responded before she
could. “Don’t move,” Jason said. He was barefoot himself, but that didn’t stop
him from getting in close enough to sweep her up into his arms. The man might
sit behind a desk all day at work, but he put in his time at the gym. His taut
muscles flexed around Eliza as he lifted her out of the mess and glass and
tucked her against his chest.
Jason carried Eliza to the other
side of the room and set her on the table. “Are you all right? Did you cut
yourself?” He lifted one sticky, stocking-covered foot in his hand and
inspected it for injuries.
“I didn’t get hurt.” Eliza caught
his other hand and brought it to her lips. “Thanks, Jason. Really.”
He kissed the side of her face in
response, and she wished he’d gone for her mouth instead. She reached to pull
him in for a better kiss, but before she could he crossed back to the
refrigerator and folded his arms across his chest. Eliza and Jason both sighed.
“I think we’re going to have to
throw all this food away because of the glass,” Jason said.
“I’m sorry.” She got off the
table and tapped one foot, trying to remember where they’d moved the broom.
“You stay there. I’ll take care
of this.”
“If you say so.”
“I do.”
Eliza smiled, a little of the
tension easing. “I want to do something really fun at home for our anniversary.
It’s five years, and maybe our last chance before we have to grow up for real
and behave. We should jump on the beds and have sex on the kitchen table.”
“About that…”
“What?”
“If you haven’t opened the
document I shared with you, then you didn’t see the note I made about the
latest delay.”
Eliza’s voice darkened. “What?”
“When they checked out the master
bathroom, they found a rotten beam. It needs to be fixed, but Bob said it means
the job won’t be done until mid-August.”
“But that’s only two weeks before
our anniversary! That’s more than a month behind schedule.”
Jason shrugged. He wrapped his
hand in a dishtowel and began throwing items from the pantry into a big black
trash bag. “I don’t like it any more than you. They have to finish the job
eventually, one way or another.”
“He always finds something else!
Did you ask him if he’s sure about the schedule this time?”
Jason stood abruptly and stepped
away from the mess in front of the refrigerator. “I don’t want you criticizing
me for how I talked to Bob. Why did we think renovations were a good idea?”
“Oh, Jason.” Eliza rushed to his
side and tried to put her arms around him, but he shook her off.
Her husband rubbed one hand over
his face. “I don’t want us to fight again. I want to have a nice time with you
tonight. Do you know why I was upset when you got home? I left the office a
little early and I was going to straighten up around here and make you dinner.
If we could open the damn refrigerator, you’d see I picked up avocados and a
bunch of other stuff you like. I got home and found the kitchen like this, and
I knew I couldn’t get it sorted out in time to surprise you.”
Jason grunted and tossed a few
more things into the trash bag. Eliza hovered nearby, wishing she could wave
their problems away and start the fun they both wanted. She found herself
staring at his firm ass, trying to remember the last time she’d really grabbed
it. They’d always had a good relationship, a hot relationship. She’d been
shocked to see how the stress of renovations had reduced them to sniping at
each other.
“I miss you, Jason.”
He stopped moving. “What do you
mean?”
“I miss your body. When was the
last time we really had some time to ourselves?”
“You mean other than time we
spend complaining to each other about the renovations from hell?”
“I love that you were going to
make me dinner. Really, I do. It’s just there’s something I might need more
than dinner. I think we both need it.”
A slow grin spread over Jason’s
face. “I may have had an ulterior motive when I decided to make you dinner.”
“I hope you did.” Eliza reached
out to him with one hand. “Can’t we clean it up in the morning? We have to stop
letting these renovations ruin our lives.”
Jason took her in his arms before
she finished her sentence.
