Synopsis ~
There are risks to mixing
business with pleasure...
IF A MAN HAS AN AFFAIR AT
WORK, HE'S A STUD.
He was a royal prick.
The night we met, he ignored me.
Then Mr. Big Shot CEO grabbed my ass in a
business meeting.
My boss just loaned me out to this guy.
Now, we’re working on a major project
together.
And our chemistry is dangerous.
Combustible.
If I allow it to ignite, I’ll risk losing
that promotion.
Worse, what if I lose myself in him?
IF A WOMAN HAS AN AFFAIR AT
WORK, SHE'S A SLUT.
From the moment I saw her I knew she was
trouble.
It was the combination of her fresh face,
smart mouth and nipples that seemed to know my name.
This woman could satisfy my needs both in
the boardroom and the bedroom.
But there was more to it than that.
I wanted her.
Really wanted her.
And I was in the position to change the
course of her life.
But I’ve got secrets, secrets that could
destroy her.
And
either make her mine or drive her away forever.
~ Excerpt ~
Parking
the Lotus, I quickly head to her side to help her out. She gives me a look and
I laugh, “I’m only trying to be a gentleman.” I feign innocence.
“Mmm-hmm.”
Even her mmm-hmm is dripping sarcasm.
Not
commando. White lace. Oh God, she’s destroying me. I want to rip them off and
lower her onto my lap. Impale her and discover what kissing does to her with my
cock inside her.
Damn it.
Will I be able to keep the promises I want to make?
Our
waiter comes by and I order two Manhattans, smiling at Sierra.
“Craving
cherries?” Her eyebrows are raised.
Oh man,
she really is going to kill me tonight.
“Only if
they are yours.”
“You want
mine?” she asks and I can see she feels it. She feels our energy.
“More
than you can imagine.”
“I would
hate to deny you.”
“Good
girl. Then don’t.”
The
waiter places the Martini glasses in front of us and I lift mine, “Good to see
you again.” And I hope she can see how sincere I am.
“Good to
see you.” She takes a sip and her nose scrunches up. “This tastes different.”
“They
make theirs with rye whiskey instead of bourbon.”
Another
two sips and the cherry is no longer submerged. Sierra reaches into the glass
and plucks it out. About ready to pop it into her mouth, she catches my eye and
smiles. She’s just messing with me. Reaching out, I grasp her slender wrist and
slowly pull it to me. Taking the tips of her thumb and forefinger into my
mouth, I suck the cherry out from between her fingers and show it to her on my
tongue before slowly chewing it, a smile firmly planted on my face.
I’m still
holding her wrist and with my free hand, I signal to the waiter for two more.
“We need
to talk, Hale.”
I can see
she is struggling. We are in such dangerous territory and we escalate there
quickly and too easily. She is clearly unnerved and I’m not sure if it’s by her
own behavior, mine or what happens when we’re together. Her eyes search mine as
if she is hoping to find some truth. I loosen my hold on her wrist and pick up
my drink.
“Let me
start by first saying something I have yet to say to you. I’m sorry, Sierra.
I’m sorry I disrespected you.”
