Piccola Smith is done with the dating scene. In reality. She's had it up her throat, dealing with heavily flawed men, and being tossed about like she meant nothing. She knew her worth, and she wasn't going to let any male put her down.So, she does the next-best thing. Get herself a battery-operated
"Pretty?" He chuckles before silence falls over the table once again.As people pass our table outside of the small coffee shop on campus, they glance our way. They're probably wondering why Liam is sitting with me, and some might even know who I am if they know my last name."You've been reading th
"Liam?" I offer."Right. That boys like him are the option around these parts." I snort a laugh. "That doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. I mean, how do you not? You got me hooked on these romance books. I don't know how you read them and not have to handle your own lady business sometimes."
"What the...?" I'm balancing too many things in my arms at once when I accidentally kick something at my feet. Backing up a little, I see a box in front of my door and sigh. I can't pick it up while I'm holding all of this shit, so I step over it and unlock the door.After I drop my messenger bag, g
He pauses his search on the TV and turns his surprised gaze on me. "Look who's talking.""I have an excuse. I'm busy." Just then my phone rings and gives me a way out of this conversation.Sure, it's been a while since I've had sex. Okay, maybe it's been longer than a while. Like years. But it's tru
"It's going to be fine," Lexi tries to reassure me as we stand outside of the Finance & Legal BNC building.After I'd had a small meltdown, Lexi talked me into going down to the office to see if I could pick up the package, but by the time we'd gotten here, the offices were closed. I am going to hav
"Piccola." Someone calls my name, snagging my attention away from the suit. I'm almost thankful because I was bordering on creepy with my staring. One of the girls circling him does the same when she lays a hand on his chest, and his attention is pulled from me. I turn away, not wanting to watch. M
The look in her eyes is confirmation that this is indeed her vibrator that was sent to the office. Instead of making me angry like maybe it should, I have to hide my smile as I place the box gently on the desk beside me and then casually lean against it. I fold my arms over my chest and take a deep
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
