Scene Description:

Lightning cracked like a whip, shattering the slumber party into shrieks as the storm raged outside. Angelica's body trembled, her fear of the lightning twisting into raw, aching need as she begged her best friend to let her slip under the covers, skin to skin, for the night. Turned away and aching with restless heat, she crept half-naked through the dark house, every thunderclap making her nipples tighten and her thighs clench until she found Scott—her best friend's brother—hungry for the hard, manly protection only he could give.
