Lipstick
Here's an excerpt:
“Are you dressed?” Logan quips dryly, following the scent of her soap and shampoo to the bedroom.
Sara turns to grin at him, a lipstick in hand and none on her lips. “A gentleman would have waited for me to answer before looking,” she says, flirting with him the way she does with most men at times.
He rolls his eyes good-naturedly, trying to dispel the images of what might have happened, had she not been dressed. “Ready to go?”
“Almost.” She waves the lipstick at him, then leans into the mirror, beginning to apply the reddish-purple pigment with the natural confidence and accuracy most women seem to put to the task.
Logan has never seen her do it before, and for some inexplicable reason, the sight is more alluring than her chunky boots and her mini-dress and her tattoos combined. Taken aback by the sudden stirring of want in his blood, he takes a deep breath and looks away.
His gaze falls upon the slightly open door to her en-suite, and the rumpled black towel lying crumpled upon the floor beside the bed. The knowledge that she’s fresh from the shower does nothing to calm him, but at least when he looks back at her, she’s setting her lipstick down on the dresser.
Sara presses her lips together, studies the result in the mirror and then nods, satisfied. Taking a step toward him, she asks, “Do you have a tissue?”
Logan’s mind is slow to react, and he doesn’t catch the relevance of the question. “No.”
With a wicked grin, she shrugs. “Then I’m gonna have to get rid of the excess another way.” Before he can react, she crosses the distance between them and plants a firm kiss on his cheekbone, no doubt leaving a perfect imprint of her lips on his skin...

A steamy little read. I believe I'll be thinking sexy thoughts when I apply lipstick for at least a week or two. ;D (lol)
