"Yeah, yeah, sure. I'll be there in fifteen. You guys order a bottle for me." I hear the sounds of the club on the other end of the phone and Franky shouting, "You know what, make it two!""See you soon, bro."Franky hangs up and I laugh as I turn off the water to the bath and take off my shirt. I'm
"Are you the bachelor?" she asks softly, and I realize my mouth is too dry to speak.She looks at the bouncer, who steps into the room, and the sound of the hotel door slamming shut has me nodding quickly."Cash upfront before we get started," the bouncer says, and I have to blink to break eye conta
"Is there anything in particular you want?" She unbuttons the front of her coat slowly, and I try to swallow."What are you offering?" I want to tell her I've never done this before, but for some reason I want her to feel comfortable with me. I want her to feel safe, and if I act like this is easy f
She stares down at it and then up at me quickly as her cheeks flush. Without saying a word, I reach into my pocket and pull out the stack of cash. I place it on her bare thigh, knowing the bouncer can't see so this can be just between us.With wide eyes, she looks up at me, and I nod, not needing to
"Elle! Open the fucking door." I jerk awake and blink my eyes, trying to get them to focus as I hear more pounding on my bedroom door. "Elle! What the hell?" I grab my glasses from the side of the bed and put them on. I'm blind without them unless I have my contacts in."I'm coming," I call, stumbli
My phone rings, and I see it's the agency. "This is Estella," I answer, trying to sound like I'm in a good mood."I heard you caused quite a scene last night," Vivian says."It wasn't my fault." I rush to explain that I can't control other people's actions."I never said it was." I can hear her clic
I don't know what Rogue had to do to get this address, but I don't think I've ever gotten my shit together so fucking fast. He got me out of jail after I finally got a hold of him. Thank god he's a lawyer with some pull at the hotel. I know how much he hates giving favors, and he probably gave more
I jerk awake, gasping for air as my neck tightens. "It's okay, Estella, you're safe." A light comes on, and it floods the inside of the car. I hold my throat, trying to catch my breath. "Shit."Mufasa pulls the car to the side of the road and stops."Look at me." His hands cup my face and his dark e
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
