Morgan de Rohan-Chabot is Monaco’s most notorious yacht designer. A maverick playboy with a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. Young, talented, not to mention sexy AF, he’s also got a boatload of attitude.

In other words, he’s my perfect public relations challenge. So what if he’s trouble with a capital T? I’m a pro. Vandana Hillman: The Queen of Luxury PR. My life’s just blown up, I need a distraction, and Morgan wants me to join him on the glittering shores of Monaco to help him land a conservative Saudi Prince as a client.

Ten days. In, out. No biggie, right?

What could possibly go wrong?

Here's an excerpt for your reading pleasure.

Morgan POV

 I wake up slowly, dopey from the wine. I’m crusted with come, the skin on my back lashed and sore from the rake of her nails. Buttery fingers of light streak across the room, and I’m guessing it’s close to five p.m. Hard to say. I also don’t want to know. Dream worlds should go on forever, not be tied to time. If Vandana wasn’t curled up beside me in the deep, endless sleep that follows godless fucking, I’m certain she’d agree.

I bury my nose, take a deep inhale of her hair spread along the pillow. It smells like her, but also like us. Despite the punishing abuse, my cock stirs to life again. Oh, where to start? It’s tricky rating sex. So many factors play into it, like all the atmospheric elements of an evening that turn an ordinary bottle of wine into the finest vintage.

But this… Her…

I had a sense of what it would be like, but I never imagined this. My mind can’t even compute a number. There is no scale on which to judge. We created our own scale.

The duvet rises and falls innocently with her breathing and I smile, remembering her at the end—soaked and cursing, crumbling in my arms. A woman’s pleasure is an elusive thing, and a man can go mad in pursuit of it. But there was no shame between us. No guessing. As expected, she is a woman who knows what she wants and is unafraid to tell me.

A woman who gives as good as she gets.

Round two, that debauched damage, the heights she took me to… Whatever it is that’s clogging up my throat knows.

I am totally, one hundred percent screwed.

Leaving the bed is an act of treason, although I imagine Vandana will be out for a while. With utmost care, I disentangle myself from the sheet and tiptoe to the bathroom. I knew all along the pearls were a front. Vandana is a raw, blazing diamond and this afternoon, I was her craftsman. Sculpting brightness and fire, my tongue coaxing a sparkle from deep within her quivering flesh. God, she enjoyed that. Her moan turning into a cry of sweet surrender, the bashing of the bed frame against the wall, every part of her uncoiling.

I really need to stop thinking about her.

          It’s impossible to piss with an erection.

  4. Thanks for the shout-out! Morgan wasn't created with anyone in mind although the French actor Alain Delon does have similar panache and esprit de corps! (back in the day.)
