She goes to open her mouth, but Patterson cuts her off. "I'm not stupid, Cara, and your games won't work here. I don't know why you want Danielle so bad, but it's not happening. Take the con game you probably learned from your father and get the fuck out of my building. I will not say it again.""Fu
I watch her sleep because I don't want to miss a moment with her. She's on her side and the lights are off, but I left the door to the bathroom cracked so that I could still see her. The soft glow lights up her silhouette and I memorize every curve of her body.She's completely naked with the blanke
You can't get pregnant in the shower, right? That's the thought I have as I put on the lingerie that's laid out on the bed for me.Patterson has left me in here all day while a team of people came over to make me beautiful. I had my body scrubbed even though he already did a thorough job of that ear
"Quit looking at me like that. One of us has to have some self-control.""Not it," I say quickly, and he laughs and shakes his head."Come here and let me help you." He takes my hand and leads me over to the bed where I sit on the edge and he kneels in front of me.He takes one foot and slips on my
Patterson takes me around the concert hall and shows me all the work they've done. There are pictures showing the progress and I'm shocked at what it looked like before. Patterson is so passionate as he speaks and I find myself asking tons of questions. This is something I'd never heard of and didn'
"Good evening, everyone. Sorry about that back there, but Lance Rich and another member of his family are not welcome in my buildings or in my presence." Patterson speaks loud enough for everyone to hear and the crowd goes so silent you could hear a pin drop. He pulls me against his side and brings
A few months later..."What do you think?" I ask Patterson as he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. I've finally finished putting the last touches on the tree. I'm excited to spend this Christmas somewhere that I actually want to be. I'm both excited and a ball of nerves because I want
I sigh when we pull apart, looking forward to coming back home and we haven't even left yet. "Danielle," Patterson warns. We both know where this is headed. It isn't unusual for us to miss a date night because we end up in bed."Then let me get my coat," I sass."I'll get your coat." He takes my han
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
