It's that time of the week again. Here is this week's Monday Morsel of Lily & Justin Are Getting Married.
While I shall continue to post Monday Morsels of Lily & Justin, you'll probably notice the word count might not move for a bit. I'm currently working on edits for Zach's Rebound Girl, a friends to lovers romantic comedy mystery/suspense featuring Maddison (Maddie) del la Botella and Zach Canady. Stay tuned for more on Zach and Maddie later. In the meantime, enjoy a little more of Lily & Justin.

“Justin Michael Nathan
Knight, you answer this phone right now.”
Caught up in a hot and
heavy kiss with Lily, he would have ignored the answer machine if his mother
hadn’t sounded mad enough to crawl down the line all the way from Napa Valley
to London, England.
Lily dragged her mouth
from his. Breathing ragged, cheeks flushed with desire, she pressed her palms
against his chest as a stop signal.
“You should get that.”
Justin groaned, not
caring that it came out heavy with frustration. His mother had lousy timing.
But the use of his entire string of names got his attention. When his mum
called him by every name he had, she meant business.
“I
could phone her later.” He leaned in and nuzzled Lily’s neck as he inched the
zipper on her cardigan lower. Her skin was warm and satiny and begged him to
kiss every inch of her.
He’d
started getting Lily out of her clothes before they even exited the lift.

Having just returned home from Inverness, they were hardly through their
apartment door—in fact, the door was still slightly ajar, left that way when he
and Lily fell through seconds ago locked in a fire-starter of a kiss—when his
mother’s vexed tone interrupted.
“When
did you plan on telling us you’re getting married?” Like a splash of cold
water, his mother’s words soaked through his drunk-on-desire haze, and chilled
him.
