I thought
I had control. I was so, so wrong...
I don't
need a relationship. I have Hux, a decadent club where I quench whatever raw
desire I choose. I take pleasure and I give it - no strings
attached. So when Raya Rivers comes in asking for someone cold,
emotionless, and filthy... well, no man ever takes his wicked pleasure quite
the way I do.
Only Raya is different. Vulnerable. And
carrying some deep sorrow that gets past all my carefully constructed walls and
inexplicably makes me care. Now
craving controls me. Ice has given way to red-hot need.But Raya has no idea about my other life - my real life. That I'm daddy to an adorable little girl. My two worlds are about to collide with the force of a supernova. Once Raya knows the truth, will she be able to accept all I am?
Here’s an excerpt for your reading pleasure:
‘What do you want, Raya?’
She steps toward me
tentatively, as if she’s questioning what she’s doing. And when she reaches me,
her chest pressed to mine, she gazes up at me. ‘I don’t know.’ Her eyes are
wild and unsure. ‘But I know that every time we’re close, something powerful takes
over. And you’re trying hard to fight it. You’re warm and cold. What are you
scared of?’ ‘You.’ My mouth is on her before I can think better of it, and I’ve lifted her from her feet before my tongue breaches the seam on her lips. We should talk, but this is the only thing I know what to say right now, and when her arms circle my shoulders, her mouth opening up, inviting me in, I know she’s okay with it. I know she gets it.
With one arm around her waist
holding her to me and one secured on the nape of her neck, I walk to my office,
my kiss deep, my blood racing, my heart bouncing off my ribcage. I set her on
her feet and take the hem of her dress, pulling it up over her head, losing her
lips for just a second in the process. She wrenches my shirt open, scattering
buttons in the process, her hands immediately finding my skin beneath. My
forward steps encourages her backwards, our kiss deepening as she unfastens my
trousers and I push her knickers down her thighs.
We’re all over the place,
desperation getting the better of us, a mess of tongues, hands and bodies. I
pull some strength from nowhere, seize her hands and break our kiss, breathing
heavily. Her unsure brown eyes soon prompts me to start ridding myself of the
rest of my clothes, all under her watchful gaze. Until I’m naked.
‘This wasn’t supposed to happen,’ she
whispers.

Sounds like a mix of a steamy romance and suspense, Mason. That combination can make for a potent love story. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteShe just might make an honest man of him.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like she's got a great series going and is having fun with it.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing.
ReplyDeleteGlad she decided to publish her writing and connect with readers--sounds like it took her a while to come to that point (which is true for so many writers!)
