Dad asked the second I walked into the kitchen. “Sleeping,” I said, not wanting to say more. If I had my way she’d sleep all day. We hadn’t gotten back from the bar until well after midnight, and I’d kept her up until early morning making love to her. I hadn’t had sex that...
I could pretend I didn’t know I owed him one and eat my dinner. Or I could bite the bullet and find out what the payback would be. I was shy, but I wasn’t a wimp. At least, I didn’t want to be. I didn’t want to return Dylan’s generosity by being afraid of him. He’d said I could trust him. &...
When I saw her in the bar, I was drawn by her abundant curves - those ripe tits and her round ass pushing the seams of her conservative dress to its limits. Then we met, and her sweet, shy demeanor was its own hook, as were her pretty face and her clear grey eyes. Instead of jumping on my offer o...
Before I could dodge him, he was behind me, one hand over my mouth, the other trapping my wrists. Steven wasn’t a big guy, or a powerful one. He didn’t need to be; he was stronger than me. He shuffled me up the two steps to the deck and toward the sliding door of my kitchen. &nb...
Following the pattern of the way that things had worked with Drew so far, Cami almost expected a cold shoulder. That had really been Drew’s MO since she’d met him. Upon first meeting, they’d clicked and spent an hour flirting, then he’d turned into a complete snob. They’d ...
I still found the room oppressive as I huddled in a corner, last month’s Cosmo open in my lap. There was no way I could concentrate on any reading at all. I was too busy biting my nails and berating myself for what I had done a few nights before. The last month had been on...
His private jet was located at a small airport only twenty minutes from his house, and from there, the flight was short and comfortable. Reclining in the plush seats of the lavish aircraft, we sipped champagne and discussed what we would do in California. I’d never visited, so I allowed Chase to ...
This was my fault. I’d meant what I’d said to Axel. He’d made the decision not to have Steven arrested on his own, true. But if he’d called me, I would have told him to do exactly the same thing. Vermin like Steven always had enough for bail. A few hours in prison wasn’t enough of a price to pay ...
He’d spent the morning making plans for a new food bank, then spent the afternoon coordinating with the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. He’d then gone to the store and prepared to cook for his little family. That’s how Drew had been thinking about Cami and Madison—as his family. He made dinne...
Carrie asked, jogging to catch up with me at the elevator. “No,” I replied, staring ahead. It was all I could do to keep from collapsing in a pile of tears. “I actually came in on one of my rare days off for this.” “Then this calls for a drink. Let’...
Holy shit. I’d thought the night before had been hot. Then, he hadn’t really let me do much other than follow his lead. I don’t really know where I got the idea to wash him, but the sight of him fully naked, in the bright light of the bathroom, was too much. It that body w...
Maggie had disappeared a while ago, stating that she needed to catch up on her beauty sleep. Cami knew that her friend had simply drunk too much and needed to crash. Cami had wandered out onto the dock alone, watching the seagulls dive into the ocean. She was more than a l...
