A wild tumble of red curls cascaded down her back, her green eyes fixed on whoever had snapped the shot, a burgundy scarf tightened around her neck and two little boys playing at her feet. “That’s Jack, and that’s his big brother Frank,” Magali pointed out. She’d taken down the frame from the wal...
“You should have let him.” Matt raked his hands through his thick mane. This was an absolute disaster. Not only had the transaction not gone through, Yvonne had singlehandedly killed the only lead they’d ever had. “This man was trying to kill us!” She was gesturing at the flattened bike messenger...
He’d noticed the hunted look that had come over this new secretary of his the moment the name Celeste was mentioned. He couldn’t help but wonder if something fishy was going on, and the more he thought about it, the more he was certain there was. Of course he’d recognized her the minute he’d seen...
He hated being buried in meetings, scraps with shareholders, tussles with managers, and having to chase after cheats like the bank manager they were about to meet. On the plus side, he’d developed an abrupt management style. Instead of reprimanding misbehaving managers, he...
Her nipples were so sensitive that when he placed his lips on them and sucked them into his mouth, she cried out when the sudden release floored her, and she was reduced to a quivering mass of pleasure, quaking in his lap. He held her as she rode out the storm, and she almost instantaneously felt...
In a flash, the events of the previous night came back to her. Vitaly. Her… betrothed. The moment she stirred, a soft yelp sounded next to the bed, and the next moment, Ram had jumped up and was eagerly licking her face. She smiled and cuddled the doggie close. Slowly, she turned her head and wat...
For a moment, he contemplated doing something similar himself. Lord knew he wanted to, but he decided against it. Too much too soon. Just feeling her in his arms was enough for now. The rest would come later. At least, that’s what he hoped. The fact she’d allowed him to embrace her told him there...
The sad voice came from a bench nearby. I glanced over and saw that Stevie had sought the heights again, though this time not as high as before. I ambled over and hopped onto the bench next to him. He might be daft, but he was my partner now. “Yeah, I guess when things get...
She’d been lounging on the deck chair for the better part of the morning, keeping well in the shade cast by a large parasol and furiously nibbling on her pencil as if somehow hoping to draw inspiration from it. On the side table next to her lay her notebook with the ideas she’d been scribbling fo...
For the first time I’d seen what my brother looked like naked, and the thought sent flutters down my belly, spreading all the way to my pussy. I opened my legs a little wider, and as the last droplets of pee fell into the toilet bowl, I reached a tentative hand toward my lips. They were wet, and ...
Dad had told him to return to his office, lest the rest of the company would think that the accusations leveled against him were true. A morale booster, he’d called Bomer’s triumphant return. But since he’d forbidden him to touch anything—not even switch on his computer—there was little triumph i...
Their politicians’ smiles fixed firmly in place, they briefly toured the room, shaking hands with everyone and anyone, urging them to vote for the right candidate. When they arrived at their table, they were quite surprised. “Honey!” cried Piet, gra...
She had done nothing wrong her entire life, and yet everyone treated her like a criminal. Before, he’d only heard the stories, and had decided to defer forming an opinion until he met the lady in the flesh. Well, he had met her, and more intimately than most, and now he could say without reservat...
Cars were driving past, and as he raised his head to focus on the church where he’d kissed her before the fatal leap across the road, his lips tightened. Stupid. So stupid. Pausing for a moment before he headed to his car, he noticed the store of the Remington sisters was closed. Jackie was proba...
She’d been widowed for so long no one even remembered Virgil’s father. He’d been a US Marine and soon after their marriage had promptly expired in battle overseas, leaving his bride with a bundle of joy and his army pension, both gifts greatly cherished even as she mourned his premature demise. &...
Assorted relatives, associates, and members of Knight’s management team were also present, while across the room a large Press Corp delegation was in attendance. He checked his watch. The only person who hadn’t put in an appearance was Chloe. What the hell was taking her so long? &nbs...
In that time I’d moved from being single to dating the hottest guy I’d ever known to being single once again. I haven’t seen The Lion King since I was a kid, but isn’t there something in that movie about the cycle of life? Well, I’d certainly gone from the bottom to the top and back again in reco...
“What do you think?” Jerry grimaced. He’d just swallowed a mouthful of tea. “I think we should finish this.” They were sitting in the car, watching the Felicity Bell place. They’d been driving all over Happy Bays without so much as a glimpse at Dawson and they were at their wits’ end. The man the...
If the weather kept up she might even find the upcoming month a pleasant sojourn, a time to relax and lick her wounds after the terrifically stressful years she’d had working the burn unit. After finishing her studies she’d immediately started work there. And she hadn’t le...
So when he inquired how she felt about a country ramble, she simply refused, telling him in no uncertain terms how she felt about being confined to a car with a well-known thief and philanderer. “Philanderer?” He caught the word with an expression of surprise. “I’ll have you know, Miss Fox, that ...
Instead of switching on the A/C, Kirsty had implored Stuart to leave the windows open. She disliked sleeping in the artificial cold and much preferred the fresh air rolling in from the sea. Stuart couldn’t have agreed more. He was used to sleeping under the open skies. Even as a boy he’d loved ca...
