Dalton pulls out his own phone with a smug expression on his face. My heart starts to pound so hard I’m sure everyone can hear it, but no one is paying attention. My little corner of the library is tucked away. My phone starts to go off, and I see texts from Dalton pop up. I already know from the lo
“I’m so sorry.” My sister finishes packing the last of Dalton’s things, and I take the bag from her. “I’m sorry too, but he’s gotta grow up at some point. Maybe this is what it’s going to take.” I called my sister this morning after dropping off Rosie, and she got on the first plane out. It starte
“Thank god you’re here,” she says, burying her face in my neck. “You bitch, I warned you. I’m going to tell everyone you two are fucking,” Dalton groans, and he still can’t stand up straight. “Did you knee him in the balls?” Rosie looks up at me and bites her bottom lip, nodding. “Good girl.” I ki
“Oh crap,” I breathe against Siegfried’s mouth. This is not how I wanted to tell my sister about this. “Rosie?” My sister says my name again, and I slowly turn to see her standing in the doorway to my bedroom. I never thought I’d be caught with a boy in my room. Though Siegfried is far from a boy.
“See, nothing to worry about.” Siegfried kisses the top of my head. “This still feels crazy.” I stare up into his eyes. “Crazy in love. Now pack a bag.” Siegfried turns serious before smacking my ass. “I’m still on edge, and you’re going to help me work that off.” My whole body lights up with exc
Six years later… “Come here, little flower.” Rosie pokes her head into the bedroom, and then her eyes light up. She closes the door behind her and then hurries over to where I’m sitting. “Are the twins asleep?” I nod as I reach for her leg and pull her to stand beside my chair. “I read them a be
Down-on-her-luck Felicity Hopkins has hit a dead end. Her parents pass away before she barely crosses eighteen, leaving behind for her a mountain of debt that enslaves her to a sleazy ‘gentlemen's club’ owner, Dante. He's ruthless, and insists she strips and dances everyday to pay up her debt. Felic
I was careful about who I let into my inner circle. Trust and loyalty meant everything in my game. And beyond that, I was even stricter about who I let into my heart. I didn't have any interest for "something casual" or "an arrangement." I wanted something more. And when I stared at her, the unden
Five years later..."How are you not used to this by now?" I take my eyes off the two agents to glance over at Henry. It still feels odd to call him that sometimes after calling him Mr. President for so long."They look at her," I growl. One thing I sure don't miss about the White House is having pe
Six months later...I bounce on the edge of the seat of our SUV about to burst with excitement. "Sweet pea. Calm down." I glance over at Ford, who is driving us home. He's smiling at me. He's let his facial hair grow a touch. I can still feel the reminder on my thighs right now. He's looked so much
July puts a hand on the president's arm and nods. "I like the sound of that. We're all out of here in six months, and I think I'd like nothing more than to raise your brother or sister with you nearby. We've got a lot of time to let this grow and plan the future."She looks up to the president, who
"The president is landing," the voice in my ear says, and I give Sloan one last kiss."We've got to go downstairs. Your dad is about to get here and I want to talk to Chad.""Okay," she says as she straightens her spine. She has more courage than I gave her credit for.Even after everything that's h
The shower shuts off and Ford steps out. He towels off and helps me down from the counter as if it's too high for me to jump from. He holds me as we walk out, and I see the blood on my bedroom floor and wall."I'll get it cleaned up." He kisses the top of my head. "You need more clothes." He smacks
Ford starts wailing on him, hitting him over and over. Two agents run over and try to pull Ford off him, but they can't. One looks over at me and I'm pretty sure it's the same one who busted us having sex. He looks at me and I know he's asking me for some kind of help."Ford," I call out. "I'm scare
I search my closet for a shirt, but I'm so frantic I can't find one even though I'm surrounded by them. I stop what I'm doing and close my eyes. I take a deep breath to calm myself down."Get it together," I tell myself.Too much has just happened. I lost my virginity, Ford told me he loves me, and
"This will only hurt a little bit," I tell her, hoping it's not a lie.I push forward another inch, and she whimpers, but I've never felt anything so fucking good. It's tight and hot and so goddamn sticky sweet."Fuck, let me in, sweet pea," I say as I press my forehead to hers and thrust in a littl
I've thought of our first kiss a thousand times, but every fantasy I came up with was weak compared to what it's like to have my lips on hers. She opens her mouth right away and I groan as my tongue touches her. I always thought the devil was the one calling the shots when he sent her to me. Why els
