Latest Release: Chapter 1 : Chapter 1 "We should head to a bar and celebrate." I wasn't surprised by
Chapter 1 "We should head to a bar and celebrate." I wasn't surprised by my roommate's emphatic p.r.o.nouncement. Cary Taylor found excuses to celebrate, no matter how small and inconsequential. I'd always considered it part of his charm. "I'm sur

44 "What's wrong?" he asked gruffly, pus.h.i.+ng up onto one elbow. "You okay?" "I want you." I stretched out against him, aligning my bare body to his. Pressing my face into his damp throat, I sucked gently on his salty skin. I knew from my own night 2024-4-23
43 "I don't have clothes and stuff..." "All you need is the toothbrush in your purse. We can run by your place in the morning for the rest. I promise to get you to work on time." He pulled me into him and set his chin on the crown of my head. "I'd rea 2024-4-23
42 I remembered the conversation we'd had in his office over lunch and the way he'd struggled to express himself to keep me. He was as confused and torn about what was happening between us as I was, and I knew how easy it was to fall into established patt 2024-4-23
41 "Come, Eva," he ordered harshly. "Come now." I cl**axed in a rush that had me sobbing his name, the sensation enhanced and magnified by the way he'd confined my body. He threw his head back, shuddering. "Ah, Eva!" He clasped me so tightly I couldn 2024-4-23
40 Gideon caught my wrists and pinned them to the mattress. "You have a tight little c.u.n.t, Eva. I'll bruise you if I don't get you soft and relaxed." A violent s.h.i.+ver of arousal moved through me. It turned me on when he talked so bluntly about s.e 2024-4-23
39 "Daniel has me sold on the place," I said to Gideon, as they shook hands. "I thought I'd done that." His hair was wet with sweat and he smelled divine. I'd never known a sweaty man could smell so d.a.m.n good. His hands stroked down my arms and I fe 2024-4-23
38 "What the h.e.l.l are you wearing?" he asked, looking marginally appeased by my enthusiastic greeting. "Clothes." "You look na**d in that top." "I thought you liked me naked." I was secretly pleased with my choice, which I'd made that morning bef 2024-4-23
37 "Mark, it means a lot to me that you care and that I'm valuable to you around here. But you don't have to worry about me. I'm a big girl. Besides, nothing is going to get me to quit this job." He blew out his breath, clearly relieved. "All right. Le 2024-4-23
36 "Just a kiss for now," I murmured, bending forward to take his mouth. With my hands on his shoulders for balance, I licked across his parted lips; then slipped inside and teased him with gentleness. Groaning, he deepened the kiss, eating at my mouth in 2024-4-23
35 I stared at him, astonished by the casualness with which he'd made the statement and the rueful amus.e.m.e.nt on his face that told me he wasn't entirely kidding. My s.e.x clenched in delicious antic.i.p.ation. I could easily picture becoming seriously 2024-4-23
34 "So? I was, too." His hands went to his hips. Then his arms crossed like mine. "Christ, Eva." I watched him squirm and felt a flare of hope. "If that's all you've got, we're done." "The h.e.l.l we are." "We've already hit a dead end if you' 2024-4-23
33 "It's not. I need to see you." "I don't want - " "We can do this the easy way, Eva. Or you can make it difficult." His tone took on a hard edge that made my pulse quicken. "Either way, you'll hear me out." I closed my eyes, understanding that I 2024-4-23
32 "Yeah, I did." And I got riled up just thinking about it. We'd connected. I knew it. I'd wanted him more than anything last night, and today I wanted nothing to do with him ever again. "It was intense. The best s.e.xual experience of my life, and he 2024-4-23
31 "Okay." Cary ran his hand down my arm. "I'll get your shawl from the coatroom and see you out front." It took longer to get to the restroom than it should have. For one, a surprising number of people stopped me for small talk, which had to be because 2024-4-23
30 "No. I'm an a.s.sistant at Waters Field and Leaman." "Ah." He grinned. "Ad agency." "Yes." "Gideon must really be into you to go from meeting you once or twice to dragging you out on a date like this." I cursed inwardly. I'd known a.s.sumption 2024-4-23
29 I stiffened against the reproof I heard in his tone. I shot him a look that said everything I couldn't while we were in public. "Richard, have you met Gideon Cross?" "Yes, of course." The two men shook hands. Gideon pulled me closer to his side. "We 2024-4-23
28 "It's so good," I sobbed, lost to him. "You feel...Ah, G.o.d, it's too good." Using both hands, Gideon commanded my rhythm, tilting me into an angle that had the big crown of his c**k rubbing a tender, aching spot inside me. As I tightened and shook 2024-4-23
27 Gideon gripped my thighs, his hands sliding upward beneath the edges of my dress until his thumbs found the red lace of my thong. "Your c.u.n.t is so sweet," he murmured into my mouth. "I want to spread you out and lick you 'til you beg for my c.o.c.k 2024-4-23
26 "Eva." He came toward me, his stride graceful and strong. He caught up my hand and lifted it to his mouth. His gaze was intense - intensely hot, intensely focused. The feel of his lips against my skin sent goose b.u.mps racing up my arm and stirred memo 2024-4-23
25 I did and found he was right. It was a very different look from the gold choker, less glam and more edgy sensuality. And the earrings went well with the diamond anklet on my right leg that I'd never think of the same way again after Gideon's comment. Wi 2024-4-23
24 He closed my robe; then stood, staring down at me. "Gideon...?" "Seven o'clock, Eva." He reached down and touched my ankle, his fingertips caressing the diamond anklet I'd put on in preparation for the evening. "And keep this on. I want to f**k you 2024-4-23
23 Just as he had in his office, he had me on my back on the couch before I realized he was moving me, his mouth swallowing my surprised gasp. The robe gave way to his dexterous fingers; then he was cupping my br**sts, kneading them with soft, rhythmic squee 2024-4-23
22 I cringed, my shoulders creeping up to my ears. By the time my ma.s.sage appointment came around, I was in desperate need of one. I stretched out on the table and closed my eyes, preparing to take a catnap to get through the long night ahead. I loved dres 2024-4-23
21 "You two seemed cozy last night. He's definitely into you." "I'm definitely into him." Curling into the corner of the couch, I pressed my cheek into the cus.h.i.+on and hugged my legs to my chest. "We're going to hang out, get to know each other, 2024-4-23
20 "Why?" I could tell he wasn't being flippant. As bizarre as this conversation must be for him, Gideon was taking it seriously. "Call it one of my quirks, and I'm not saying that lightly. It p.i.s.ses me off to feel used for s.e.x. I feel devalued." 2024-4-23
19 It was the Stoli and cranberry. I pounded it, draining the tumbler. My stomach churned for a moment, then settled. "You own the building I live in?" I gasped. "Oddly enough, yes." He moved to sit on the table, facing me, his legs on either side of min 2024-4-23
18 "Cary Taylor." He shook Gideon's hand with a wide smile. "But you knew that. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." I could've killed him. I seriously thought about it. "Good to know." Gideon settled on the seat beside me, his arm draped 2024-4-23
17 I told him, of course. I wanted his take on it all. But when I finished, he was quiet. I lifted my head to look at him, and found him bright-eyed and biting his lip. "Cary? What are you thinking?" "I'm feeling kind of hot from that story." He laughed 2024-4-23
16 Grudgingly, I thought of Gideon Cross, who preferred to strip all intimacy out of the most intimate act I could imagine. I'd had one-night stands and friends with benefits, and no one knew better than I that s.e.x and making love were two very different 2024-4-23
15 "Eva honey. Richard says you forgot your cell phone at his office." I exhaled in a rush and sagged back into my chair. I could picture the handkerchief wringing that usually accompanied that particular anxious tone of my mother's. It drove me nuts and 2024-4-23
14 In a daze, I watched Cross's body lower to mine, my legs sliding apart to accommodate the width of his hips. My muscles strained with the urge to lift toward him, to hasten the contact between us that I'd been craving since I first laid eyes on him. Low 2024-4-23
13 And a major turn-on, but I was never going to admit it. He contemplated me with narrowed eyes. "It may be blunt, but it's honest. You don't strike me as the kind of woman who wants bulls.h.i.+t and flattery instead of the truth." "What I want is to b 2024-4-23
12 I stepped out, deciding it would be safer for my sanity to take a different car up. "Not so fast, Eva." Cross caught me by the elbow and tugged me back. The doors shut and the elevator glided smoothly into motion. "What are you doing?" I snapped. Afte 2024-4-23
11 I stood as he approached, and he bent to kiss my cheek. "You look lovely, Eva." "Thank you." I looked like my mom, who was also a natural blonde. But my gray eyes came from my dad. Taking a chair at the head of the table, Stanton was aware that the re 2024-4-23
10 "You're right. He's an arrogant douche. Let him l.u.s.t after you until he has blue b.a.l.l.s. Serves him right." That made me smile. Cary could always do that. "I doubt that man has ever had blue b.a.l.l.s in his life, but it's a fun fantasy." He 2024-4-23
9 Cross stayed with me all the way to the bank of elevators. He said a few things to Mark about sports, I think, but I was too focused on the way I was reacting to him to care about the small talk. When the car arrived, I breathed a sigh of relief and hasti 2024-4-23
8 "Yes, absolutely." I pushed to my feet. Knowing my appearance would be a reflection on my boss, I smoothed my black pencil skirt and straightened the cuffs of my long-sleeved silk blouse. By a random twist of fate, my crimson s.h.i.+rt perfectly matched 2024-4-23
7 "Yes, we'd present as a group. But they're familiar with the drill - they know they'll get the pitch from a senior executive, then end up working with a junior like me - so they picked me out and now they want to vet me. But to be fair, the RFP provid 2024-4-23
6 Ha! If only. I stepped into the car. "Thank you." He released the b.u.t.ton and stepped back again. The doors closed and the elevator began its descent. I immediately regretted my decision to share the car with him. Awareness of him p.r.i.c.kled across 2024-4-23
5 "Eva, hi. Mark's not in yet, but you know where you're going, right?" "Absolutely." With a wave, I took the hallway to the left of the reception desk all the way to the end, where I made another left turn and ended up in a formerly open s.p.a.ce now 2024-4-23
4 Hmm...I caught the handle of the spoon sticking out of the bowl and decided not to comment on the food. "I think I ran into the hottest man on the planet today. Maybe the hottest man in the history of the world." "Oh? I thought that was me. Do tell me 2024-4-23
3 I talked over her. "May I have my badge, please?" He offered it back to me. Although I made an effort to retrieve it without touching him, his fingers brushed mine, sending that charge of awareness into me all over again. "Thank you," I muttered befor 2024-4-23
2 Knowing it was pointless to get riled up over old frustrations, I focused on getting to work as quickly as possible. I'd deliberately chosen to clock the short trip during a busy time on a Monday, so I was pleased when I reached the Crossfire Building, w 2024-4-23
