A Deal With The Devil Chapter Six - Was It A Dream?
He gave Brynne a skew little smile instead of answering her while his arm snaked around her waist to stop her from fleeing. Pulled flush against his chest, Brynne forgot to breathe. Why did he affect her so much? Despite the heady music and the gyrating bodies around her, Brynne was acutely aware of his intoxicating male scent and the warmth he exuded. Her senses came to life as if in memory of everything they had shared. Her body wanted a repeat while her mind battled against the temptation.Panic hit her, and she pushed at his chest. But it was an impossible task, with his grip tightening on her with every futile attempt to push him away. “Stop whatever you’re doing, Luke. I won’t do it again with you. I won’t step into your suite for a repeat of last night.”Her breath hitched when his lips grazed the erotic spot below her ear. “Do what, Brynne?”A gush of molten heat escaped her in response, contradicting her statements. Although her mind prodded her to run, her body refused to coo

Anger coursed through her at his admission. How could he take advantage of her in her sleep? “You took advantage of me while I was sleeping, right? That’s unforgivable, Luke.” Brynne felt betrayed and whirled around to leave. Let him go to hell. He wasn’t what he portrayed to her.He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his suite. “I didn’t. You begged me to please you. I was there only to escort you to my place for dinner. But you stripped me of my clothes.” The sparkle in his eyes was back and Brynne had no idea if he was speaking the truth or just messing with her. “Maybe you were dreaming about me, Brynne.”Her cheeks flushed with color at being caught. Yes, she had been dreaming about him. Who wouldn’t? But did she really behave so recklessly with him?“N-no, I don’t believe you. I did nothing of the sort.” It was her only defense to save herself from becoming a laughingstock in front of him.He pulled her flush against his hard chest. “Do you want me to show you what you did? We

Brynne blinked at his impossible demand. Should she throw caution to the wind and accept it? After all, the stakes were in her favor. What harm could a fake dating deal do? She had already lost her virginity to him. In return, she could teach Adam Carter a lesson!“Yes. I’ll accept the deal.” Luke smiled, satisfied by her answer. After all, this was what he wanted all along. Now, it seemed things were going the way he wanted. His gaze dropped to her luscious lips. Could he seal the deal with a smoldering kiss followed by a heated affair that could stretch all night? He knew she couldn’t resist his charm.The doorbell rang before he could start working on his plans. It brought Brynne out of her daze and she struggled to get free. “Someone’s at the door. Please,” she hissed nervously, glancing at Luke’s worried face. Thankfully, he released her and whirled around to open the door.Brynne peered outside to see a tall, svelte woman standing on his doorstep with a scowl on her face. She ha

Everything happened so fast, Brynne could hardly keep up. Luke and his bodyguards accompanied her to her cabin to get her stuff. As she packed up, Daniella opened the door and walked in to check. Her eyes flew from Brynne to Luke and his bodyguards with confusion.“Hi! Didn’t you come in to see Brynne earlier? Are you’ll going somewhere?” she asked Luke.“Yes, Brynne is moving in with me.” Daniella’s mouth hung open at her admission as she gaped at Brynne, busy collecting her stuff.“Oh, I see. It’s good that she won’t have to stay here alone. I was worried about her.” Brynne seethed at Daniella’s fake concern. Daniella knew she would move in with Ted. Weren’t they dating for months now? Then why did she put up an act with her earlier?“No need. We’re dating and I’ll take care of my girlfriend. Thanks for your concern.” He flashed Daniella a smile as he helped Brynne with the luggage. Daniella’s mouth hung open as she digested the information.“Oh! Are you his girlfriend, Brynne? You

Brynne’s heart thumped wildly as she finally realized what she had agreed to. “You can’t force yourself on me, Luke.” Her breath hitched when his lips grazed her neck upwards to her ear.“I don’t need to use force. That’s not my style. I’m sure you know that by now! One touch and I’ll have you begging for more.” A tremor went up her spine, not out of fear but from need. The feather light touch of his lips was enough to arouse her. His arm went around her waist and he pulled her flush against his warm chest, holding her gaze all the time.“It seems you’ve mastered the art of seduction. Do you hook up with every female you see? Just like the one you were talking to earlier.” He stared at her for a minute, and then flashed her a boyish grin.“You have no reason to feel jealous. I’m only yours for the next six days.” Brynne rolled her eyes, but a warm flush stained her cheeks. She knew he was trying to seduce her to give in.“I’m not your wife to feel jealous. You can go to hell!” He chuc

Luke’s words made her head swim, her heart pound, and her body burned with need. She didn’t know if it was the alcohol in her system or the charm that made her throw caution to the wind and surrender to him. There was no doubt he had a way with words that could make even a shrew melt and beg for a good f*ck.At that moment, his notorious reputation, and his playboy ways, didn’t matter to Brynne. She wanted him. She wanted to replay the magic of last night, this time in her senses. Maybe her body too was addicted to him, just as he was to her. “Only a kiss,” Brynne conditioned. In response, his eyes sparkled in defiance, but Brynne reached out without a thought, cupping his jaw and pulling his head down to her level. It was just the initiative he needed her to make to fulfill the promise. Now the promise didn’t hold true anymore. She had already made the first move and asked for a kiss, irrespective of how he made it happen. Now, he didn’t need to force himself on her. The moment she

“Ignore Audrey’s jabs. She’s a spoiled brat with no filter to her mouth.” Luke smiled at her as he watched the confusion in her eyes. He knew Audrey’s words had affected her. What would he do if she changed her mind? No, he had to convince her. “What did she mean? Do you have a history with her?” She still sat there sulking while Luke lost his patience. “We just grew up together. Our grandfathers are best friends.” Brynne understood he was downplaying the reality. There was more to the picture than met the eye. “Anyway, forget Aubrey, and let’s pick up where we left off.” “Not tonight. I want to catch up on some sleep right now. I can use the spare bedroom or go back to my cabin.” He glared at her for a second before scooping her up in his arms and striding towards his bedroom.“I’ll punish you if you do that, Brynne. Don’t forget you made a deal with me. You’re stuck to me for the next six days.” She struggled to get free. “Will you force me?” He nodded, amusement sparkling in hi

He slid her clothes slowly off her body, letting it slip and pool on the floor. “Holy f*ck, Brynne! You look more beautiful every time I see you.” Brynne melted at his words, remembering he had called her beautiful last night when he first saw her. It was a hazy recollection, but she somehow felt he was reliving the moments they had shared last night. He kissed her again, slowly, frantically until he was lying on top of her, his erection pressed against her s*x. He felt so good that Brynne writhed under him, needing more. His hands explored her body, knowing exactly where to touch her. He released her mouth and locked his eyes with hers, while his hand inched to her breasts. Leaning down, he kissed each of them in reverence.“Mmm, you’re f*cking delicious!” He licked his lips, swirling his tongue while kneading the other. Brynne arched her body, fishing her hands into his hair while her head swam with euphoria. She had a hazy memory of feeling something similar last night. So they w

A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Sixteen – Melting Into A Puddle
Daniella I tried to block my ears to his silly banter with Mrs. Griffin. If we were to act as a married couple, these shouldn’t affect me, right? Yet it did. Coz this was uncharted territory, and all we shared was a kiss and a horse ride. “Okay, let’s start, everyone!” said Mrs. Griffin, walking away. Drake leaned in towards me, his eyes dancing with excitement. I wondered what he was so excited about! Me cooking or him watching me cook! “Make it finger-lickin' good! I’ll be watching you!” He turned to go, but I grabbed his hand. “Where do you think you’re going? Stay and help.” I released his hand and shoved the whole chicken towards him. “Massage the oil all over.” He gave me a lost look. “Are you sure?” I nodded and set about preparing the vegetables and ranch dressing. We were making grilled chicken in Wild West Sauce to start with. Although it was a very basic recipe, I was making the sauce for the first time. Mrs. Griffin yelled out her instructions while we struggled to
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Fifteen – Resisting The Hot Creature
Daniella Toby’s saddle was perfect for double riding, but I couldn’t relax. It wasn’t because of the trauma I had just been through. It was because of the hottest male creature on earth perched behind me. With his body plastered to my back, I could feel every muscle ripple against me. I had seen him. And it worsened the situation. Even now, I could visualize him naked. He was a solid bulk of muscle with pure power emanating from every fibre of his body. I could feel his face inches from mine, and the temperature soared around us. Drake’s hot breath fanned my heated nape while his arms brushed against my sides as they handled the reins. He reached forward, his arms further encasing me inside his muscular body. I realized it was stupidity to mount in front of him. I should have known. “Are you okay, Daniella?” With his lips millimeters from my right ear, I could feel their movement as he spoke. “Yes,” I said, my voice a breathless whisper. My mind screamed in desperation, urging him
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Fourteen – Breathless
Daniella I tried to focus on my food instead of reacting to his admission. It was a difficult task indeed. “Must you flirt with every female you meet? You’re so pathetic, Drake Ashford!” “No, only you. All my efforts are now focused on you.” His face lost its goofiness as he spoke. If I didn’t know his true nature, I would have believed his shit and fallen for him already. “Why? Don’t tell me you’re short on offers. I’m sure there are others, easier to charm and easy to conquer.” Unconsciously, I held my breath, waiting for his reply.“I don’t want the others. I want you. Don’t worry, I love a clash before a conquest.” He grinned at my jaw-dropped look. I hadn’t expected that. “Overconfidence? You can’t conquer me. I’ll disappear from your life after the trip.” It wasn’t a future threat. I intended to do it. Staying around Drake challenged my emotional and mental well-being. I didn’t want to fall for the devil. This constant battle to resist him was taking a toll on me. If one kis
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Thirteen – Branded
Daniella“Oh, thank you so much. We’re on a day trip from our honeymoon cruise. The cruise ship will leave Port Canaveral at 10 pm. So we should check out from here after dinner.” Drake winked at me before I could correct the cowgirl.What the fuck is he up to? Why was he pretending we were a honeymoon couple? Was he crazy? I glared at him, watching him chat with the receptionist. He completed the check-in formalities, totally ignoring my reaction.“Is there anything else you may need? We have a fifty percent discount on everything for honeymoon couples today. You’re our first couple! The rest are all families here for the rodeo.”My jaw dropped with surprise. “Oh! Why?”“It’s our owner, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin’s golden anniversary today!” she gasped, handing us our key card. “Your glamping tent is that way, sir, ma’am. Have an enjoyable stay.”“Thanks. That would be all for now. We’ll freshen up and bother you again.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me along. “Let’s go, baby! I can’t wait
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Twelve – Losing Myself In Drake’s Charm
Daniella Drake drove the rental car down the Florida Ramp towards Orlando Hwy, and a strange thrill coursed up my body. Knowing his reputation, I didn’t understand why I felt so excited to spend the day with Drake. Why was he killing me with his charm? Did he want to get into my pants? Definitely, yes. Yet my heart thumped wildly in my chest. My reaction to his attention surprised me. Why was I behaving like a hormonal teenager around her first crush? I was a twenty-five-year-old woman, having slept around with plenty of players like him. But there was something about Drake Ashford that pulled me towards him like a magnet. Somehow, I craved his attention. “Have you been to a dude ranch before?” His raspy bedroom voice brought me out of my thoughts. “No. My twin brothers prefer those. I’m more into the star-rated swanky hotels.” I hated the rustic, dirty camps and cabins in the countryside, with insects bothering me. The twins preferred glamping in those. “Oh, you’re lucky to have
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Eleven – Truce?
DaniellaThe deafening sound of helicopter blades made me stir the next morning. Who was arriving on the cruise ship? “Wake up, sleepyhead. We’ll reach Port Canaveral in two hours. Let’s grab breakfast and head to Deck 4 to avoid the mad rush at the last minute,” said Julia, looking freshly showered and ready.I groaned and stretched, waking up finally. Why did we always have to rush around? Wasn’t this a vacation? “I want to laze around today! I’ve seen Port Canaveral and its attractions so many times.” She rolled her eyes and went over to the tiny window to check. “I haven’t, and you’re coming with me. Surely you aren’t planning to spend time with Drake Ashford, are you?”I turned to give her a sharp look. “No. Why should I?” Julia shrugged and sat down with her makeup kit. “Never mind. Hurry!” I didn’t share her enthusiasm, but I got ready, nevertheless. What would I do alone on a humongous cruise ship? After two hours, we lined up at Deck 4 to watch the cruise ship enter the p
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Ten – A Game Of Jealousy
DaniellaIt was evening, and Julia forced me to meet up with the gang for dinner. I had no wish to join them, but she was adamant. “What’s wrong with you? Are you sulking or what?” I gaped at her. Was I? “No. Why should I? Can’t a girl laze around for once?” My behavior surprised me. I didn’t f*cking care so much about a guy before. Then why was I overreacting to the player, Drake Ashford? “Then have dinner with us. I’m not opting for room service.” Julia pulled me along towards the grand dining hall of the cruise ship. As we entered the hall, I gasped at the crowd. The place was teeming with passengers, and I could see our colleagues all over it. “It’s so claustrophobic here, Julia. I don’t think we’ll get a place to sit.” I scanned the place to see our gang occupying a table right in the middle. “Oh, they’ve found a table. C’mon, it’ll be fun.” She pulled me along when my gaze fell upon Drake, sauntering in with the same woman. Blood boiled in my veins at the sight of him. So h
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Nine – Mad At Drake
DaniellaI couldn’t stop the gasp of surprise as I stared at Drake. How did he know I had kissed Adrian on the cheek? Was he stalking me? “How do you know? It was a thank you peck on the cheek, not a kiss.”His handsome features lit up as he flashed me a crooked grin. “I was watching you. Whatever it was, you can do better for a ring.” His eyes dropped to my lips, and I licked them nervously. Why was I reacting so much to him? Wasn’t I immune to such pickup lines? ‘He’s flirting with you, Dani,’ I advised myself to stop the pounding of my heart. Yet shyness gripped my body, and I tried not to let the deep timbre of his voice throw me off. “You can’t buy me with expensive gifts, Drake. It’s the feeling behind it, the gesture that touches my heart. Did you go down on one knee? So?” I shrugged and eased out of his hold. I was terribly disappointed with my life. I had expected better from Drake. He almost made it look like a joke, slipping a fake ring onto my finger. Even Ted did bette
A Deal With The Devil Book 2: Chapter Eight – Need The Damn Kiss
DrakeI couldn’t believe she was leading me back to my room. Did she think she would get away with kissing me in private? No. I wanted to rub it in Melissa’s face. She had to see us kissing. I lost my patience and grabbed hold of Daniella’s arm. “Why are we going back to the room?” I muttered once we were out of Melissa’s earshot. Daniella rolled her eyes as if I had asked the dumbest question on earth. “For your damn kiss. Why else?” she muttered back, looking mad at me. “Not behind closed doors! I need the damn kiss right under Melissa’s nose. I want her to see us kissing.” “Hell. No. That’s not happening at all. I’m not kissing you before a ship full of colleagues.” She walked ahead, tagging me along. What the hell! I had never begged for a kiss in my life. I was the hottest male on this ship, and women usually got an orgasm at the sight of me. And here was a woman who had seen me naked! Yet she refused to kiss me! Was she for real?“What difference does it make? They know we’r
