When I finally got a hold of myself and had gulped down a load of Coke to soothe my burning throat, I glanced up to see an utterly chagrined expression on Barton’s face. “Sorry,” he said, his hands spread in supplication. “Didn’t mean to, uh, shock you like that. Guess I’m just direct.” He lowere...
Suddenly, he tried a door, mercifully found it unlocked then pulled me into the room behind him. Once the door was shut—and locked—after us, Jonathan stepped toward me, put his hands on my hips and bent to kiss me again. He pushed me backwards until my back was pressed against the doo...
It was hardly surprising, given the way she’d gotten her going that day, roaring up on the motorbike and caressing it like a lover, before jutting that cute ass in her direction. The courier had thrown plentiful fuel on Abigail’s fantasy fire and now her dreams were reflecting her inflamed state....

She could appreciate their confusion. It was closing time for the stately home and the last of the visitors were being politely ushered out of the building, yet she was heading inside. What’s more, she’d been invited. She had a job to do. An elderly lady stood in the porch smiling and nodding as ...
The job itself was incredible. She was constantly learning and improving, and she’d found that she had a genuine interest in—and liking for—PR. It helped, of course, that the very thing she was aiming to get publicity for was an amazing, unique hotel in a worldwide chain of amazing, unique hotels...
Helping her up, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “All right?” She nodded, breaking into a wide smile. “Oh yeah, I’m more than all right. A little wobbly, but in a good way.” Sneaking a hand around, she squeezed his backside again. “And you really do look amazing in those trousers. You should we...
“Fuck.” At least it hadn’t gone on my dress, or Nadia’s for that matter—that wouldn’t have been a very good way to chat her up. Raising her eyebrows, Nadia said, “Was that a curse or an offer?” Clearly I hadn’t had enough to drink, as instead of coming back with a wickedly sassy response I stutte...
They didn’t, of course. He was strong but not superhuman. Which was the precise reason he was affected by the little scene that had just played out in front of him in the first place. If he’d been superhuman he’d have been able to ignore it. Adele had just left the pool before doing her usual thi...
He’d been a little miffed that the American girls, Shanna and Taryn, had wanted to tag along from Paris to Rome with him and Kristian. He’d been keen not to end up with any chicks who wanted more than a one-night stand, figuring that any romantic entanglements would screw up their footloose and f...
I’ll let you know when I have the photos ready for viewing.” Melodie held her hand out for the camera bag that Patrick had still insisted on carrying for her. “Oh, I thought we were going to check them out now.” “Yeah, sorry. I’ve got a headache coming on and w...
He didn’t feel one hundred percent on form, but he was in no danger of falling asleep anytime soon. Which was just as well, as Kristian and Taryn were playing a heated game of tonsil tennis on her bed and Shanna was perched on the edge of her mattress, looking expectantly at him. &nbs...
No matter how much sleep I get the night before – whether it be the recommended eight hours, or an excessive ten – I still cannot get to grips with mornings. I’ve just come to accept that I’m far from being an early bird, and always stop at the University shop for a can of Red Bull before continu...
Everything else was in his backpack. He knew it was because he’d checked several times before leaving the hostel to make sure he hadn’t left anything behind. Sighing at his own paranoia, he figured if he’d forgotten anything now, then tough shit. He was already sitting on the Eurostar train that ...
