Book Blitz & Giveaway: Rough Edges by Elsa Jacobs!


Excerpt!

   I bent more, but she tilted her head and moved so I couldn’t reach her lips. Disappointment bubbled in my stomach, threatening to overflow. But I threaded my fingers into her hair at the base of her skull, my arousal spiking at the sensation of control.
   “Look at me,” I whispered, my fingers curling into a fist and pulling gently on her hair until our eyes met.
   “Ben…yes,” she moaned low and raspy, making my dick twitch with an electrifying lust. I was half-excited, half-anxious. Being allowed to be a little dominant was a fucking delight, and I didn’t want to ruin any of it. I tilted my head until I could reach her mouth, and I kissed her. My lips enclosed her upper one softly.
   Her lips were so soft and fresh.
   I backed off a bit and went for another one. In the corner of my eye, I caught her hand coming up, so I hid my face in the crook of her neck and inhaled.
   Laura’s hands landed softly on my jaw, pulling me in. As my heart hammered like a madman, her mouth reached mine in a gentle touch, like a butterfly landing on a cactus. I didn’t know how to respond.
   But when a desperate sigh came out of her nose and her arms swung around my neck to push herself up, mine folded possessively around her body.
   I pressed my lips to hers again and again, sipping at what could be. My hands dug their way under her T-shirt, and a bold grunt escaped my throat.
   Soft skin. Soft lips. Soft breasts crushed on my chest.
   I snapped.
   Gentle kisses turned into voracious nibbles and licks. My dick was getting hard; my guts seemed to have liquefied. Each kiss I gave, Laura backed off, fisting my shirt and breathing heavier, so I followed, until I pinned her to the wall.
   I had caught a fairy.
   Holy shit.
   Her chest rose and sank uncontrollably while the sounds she was trying to keep in turned my blood into lava.
   I licked the seam of her lips, pleading with my tongue to let me in. As soon as she opened it, my tongue swept in to caress hers in bold strokes. My knees shook when our tongues met. And I felt good about myself for the first time in way too long.
   I kissed Laura until I was on the edge of losing control and backed away, breathing shakily. “Now you can go home,” I muttered, my voice gruff.
   Her expression was one I didn’t recognize while her fingers grazed her lips as if the kisses hadn’t been real.
   Fuck, that was sexy.
   “Go home, Princess. Or I’m not gonna–” My sentence died on Laura’s lips.
   In a hard motion, she fisted my shirt and pulled me down for another kiss.
   I pushed my tongue into her mouth, reveling in the way she responded with fervor I didn’t expect. I groped her ass and squeezed until I heard a sharp squeal. Her arms flew around my neck, gripping me like I would disappear if she let go. And we were devouring each other’s mouth with greedy kisses.
   Fuck yes.
   Until Laura pushed me and smirked at the bulge in my jeans. “Goodnight, Ben,” she said in a sultry voice.

Author bio:

I’m Elsa Jacobs, an indie author of contemporary romance and romantic suspense/thriller. I write unique love stories with a substantial amount of twists, turns, and spices.

Let me tell you how it all started. A few years back, I was battling brutal insomnia that just wouldn’t quit. Nights were a blur of characters and plots swirling around in my head, refusing to let me catch some shut-eye. It was maddening. Writing became my escape hatch—I had to get these stories out of my head.

In less than a year, I wrote four drafts, all because I needed an outlet for the chaos that was keeping me up at night. Publishing wasn’t even on my radar; I just needed some peace of mind. But then, something unexpected happened. I sent a chapter to an editor, not really expecting much to come of it.

But instead of a brush-off, I found myself teaming up with that editor to bring my first novel to life.

It was a game-changer. That’s when I decided to take the plunge and share the rest of my drafts, bit by bit, with the world.

My stories might have been born out of sleepless nights, but they’ve become my sanctuary, and I hope they become yours too.

Cheers,

Elsa.
