There’s nothing worse than being lectured by a complete jerk and knowing, on some level, that he might be right. Kyle’s words ring in my ears as I stomp around the bedroom—his bedroom, the one he offered me so easily—peeling off my sodden layers one by one and flinging them down with a splat.

A tourist, he called me.

Just a tourist.

Awesome! Guess I know now what the bar boss really thinks of me. I’ve been wondering for weeks, hoping so desperately that he sees me as someone important to him, maybe someone he’d want to keep, but instead Kyle has declared me completely temporary.

My heart gives a painful throb.

Maybe if I stay angry, I’ll never have to feel the knee-shaking force of how much that hurts me. Maybe if I cultivate this bitterness, Kyle will never realize that I’ve been pining after him like the world’s biggest love struck idiot, hoping for so much more.

“Jerk,” I mutter, trying to keep my anger up as I hop on one foot to tug off my soaking sweatpants. As my wet clothes pee

    “Waverly.” Kyle looks stricken, lunging for the shower cubicle. When he yanks it open, warm droplets start flecking his new set of dry clothes, but he doesn’t seem to care. He’s staring at me, scanning every inch of me with worried eyes, trying to figure out why I’m slumped against the shower wall and limp with despair. “What happened?”“I’m not hurt,” I mumble, but Kyle’s not listening. He yanks his t-shirt over his head and steps into the cubicle, jeans and all.Strong hands stroke down my shoulders, my arms, my waist, so much colder than the shower as they pat me down for some invisible injury. The shock of those icy fingers wake me up again, make me stand straight against the tiles, because shoot, Kyle hasn’t warmed up at all. Even with dry clothes on and the log burner out there, his hands are cold enough to steal my breath.And—enough.Enough of this.Enough trying to stay mad. Enough letting my exhaustion drag me down. Kyle is cold, damn it, and even if he just unknowingly brok

    Remember her by? Just like that, I slam back down to earth with all the force of a burning comet. I don’t want to remember Waverly—I want her by my side for every day of my life. I want my ring on her finger and her thighs clamped permanently around my skull like earmuffs, and I want to bring her coffee on our deck every morning.Waverly smiles up at me, pink-cheeked and breathless, her bare chest rising and falling as water droplets streak down her body. I’m blocking most of the spray, but she’s still getting rained on down there, and Christ, she’s so beautiful that it’s hard to look at her. Can’t believe what she just did for me, and how good it felt.That damp, mussed hair—a darker shade of blonde when it’s wet. Those freckles and those plump pink lips and those eyes. Those big, blue eyes that haunt me whenever I’m alone. I don’t want the memory of this woman, I want the real thing.“What?” My head crackles with static, while my heartbeat has slowed way down. Each anguished thump r

    When I’m done pouring out my heart and soul, Waverly beams, reaching between us to notch my hard length at her entrance. She’s slick already, hot and wet and inviting, and it takes every ounce of my willpower not to thrust inside her already.Don’t you dare, I tell myself. Not gonna rush this moment for anything.“Yes,” Waverly declares, the fire crackling behind her. She’s bright and happy and calm, like tonight’s drama never happened at all. “Yes, you big grump. I’ll marry you and stay.”But we both hold our breath as Waverly sinks down on my cock. Both groan and gasp and grip each other tight, reveling in how goddamn good it feels, how perfectly we fit, how this thing building between us is a force of nature, as strong as the storm crashing against the mountainside.Waverly’s hips roll, her knees wedged into the sofa cushions on either side of me, and with every drag of her body along my shaft, my gut clenches tighter and my nerves sing out.So good.So electric. So right.She feel

  • Kiss It Better   2 - Jasmine.

    I stand on the townhouse steps and ring the bell six times before anyone answers. My parents aren’t used to this yet either: answering their own door, picking up their own groceries, weathering the knowing stares of their well-off neighbors. Most of the texts I checked on the bus were about how terrible it’s been. I stared at the screen for a long time, thumbs poised to reply, before giving up and tucking my phone away.What is there to say, after all? My parents were two of the wealthiest people in the city not that long ago. They had everything they could possibly ever need. All they had to do was not do anything stupid.Now they’re tugging their own heavy front door open, their clothes wrinkled, wide-eyed with dismay at how low they’ve fallen—before collapsing on me like the sobbing survivors of an earthquake.“Jasmine!”“Princess!”My shoulders stiffen at that nickname, but I let my parents drag me inside, suitcase knocking against my calf. The door slams shut behind me, blocking

  • Kiss It Better   3 - Victor.

    Growing up, I always told myself that once I made it, I could relax. Bouncing around the care system, working throughout high school, getting my first full time job as a valet at the Biao Casino—all those years, that’s what I kept telling myself.Push on, get through this, and one day, West, one day you can sleep through a whole damn night.All that fighting and striving. Living off beans and rice; fixing my own bike chain for the millionth time; living in a shoebox apartment with four other roommates. Working all those hours, and studying in the gaps in between.All of it was meant to build to something, to pay off one day, and now I’m sitting in my private office at the Biao, gazing out at the city skyline. It’s gone midnight, the sky is inky dark, and the lights out there glitter like gold.Has it paid off? I roll my stiff neck, pondering. There’s no fear of ever missing another meal in my life, and that’s not something I take for granted.Still, I didn’t expect victory to feel thi

    Now, as I turn to face Jasmine Biao once again, the effect she has on me has not lessened at all. There’s still a lurch deep in the pit of my stomach, like I’ve been caught on a fish hook; my collar is still too tight, scraping against my throat. I’m dazed by her beauty, all too ready to crash to my knees and beg for a taste, and that makes me feel the same thing it always did.Bone-deep resentment.I’m fucking furious. How dare Jasmine Biao slip into my office uninvited, as though this is still her family’s playground? How dare she say my name in that husky voice, like she’s been thinking of me too? How dare she stand in my office doorway, her dark hair tumbling over the lapels of her black trench coat, and stare at me with beseeching eyes?No.No.This woman has had every advantage in life. Every single goddamn thing she ever could have wished for, she had with a snap of her fingers. I won’t fall at her feet too. There must be a line.“You should knock,” I say, “when you barge into

  • Kiss It Better   5 - Jasmine.

    The last time I saw Victor Pierro was the day he bought the Biao casino. My father made a whole big thing of it, throwing a huge party in the Biao ballroom and giving speeches to the guests, going on and on about how he saw Victor’s potential all along. How he’d built his protege up from nothing, just like the family business.Bullshit, obviously. A man like Victor isn’t built from the outside, he’s forged from within. I tried to warn my father about that, begged him to let me rewrite his speech, but he wouldn’t allow it. And for that whole party, I cringed at every patronizing word thrown Victor’s way.But Victor smiled along and laughed quietly in all the right places. He raised a glass to each condescending toast my father made, and he spun my mother around the dance floor. Old men with fat bank accounts slapped him on the shoulder, and still Victor kept his mask firmly in place.I saw it, though. What that night did to him—how much he loathed every second.

  • Kiss It Better   31 - Zarina.

    I love everything about our little seaside village of Ferragudo, but it’s especially magical in the early hours of the morning, when only the fish and the birds are awake. I love coming out onto our deck to observe the calm, quiet world. Usually, I can even manage to get a good page or two written before the kids wake up.I curl my hands around my mug of coffee, the tendrils of steam evaporating into the cool air, and smile before taking a sip. The last ten years have been better than anything I could have ever hoped for. Finn and I had the most beautiful wedding right here on the beach, just a few miles away from where we now live.The ceremony was small and intimate and absolutely perfect. Finn cried, and yeah, I was a blubbering mess by the end as well. Standing there next to him, peering into those deep brown eyes while the waves tickled my feet was one of the greatest moments of my life. I finally felt like I was right where I belonged, with someone who wanted me as much as I wan

    Zarina slumps over the balcony as I pull out of her, our combined releases dripping down her thighs. Jesus, I’m almost ready to go again at the sight. Spinning her around, I scoop my woman up in my arms and carry her to my bed, ridding her of her clothes before stripping down and crawling in beside her.She snuggles up next to me and I wrap an arm around her, tucking her closer into my side. “I love you so damn much,” I whisper into the top of her head. She sighs so sweetly, her breath tickling my bare chest.“I love you, too. Thank you.”“For what?”Zarina props herself up on her elbow, looking down at me. “For...everything. I...I don’t know how to explain it. Like your letter said, we haven’t known each other that long, but in a way, we have. I know you. I feel you right here,” she whispers, placing my hand over her heart. I slide it up her chest and wrap my fingers around the back of her neck, drawing her down for another kiss.“I feel you, too,” I murmur against her lips.“Did...d

    Twenty minutes later, we're pulling up to my apartment. I've traveled from city to city and country to country over the last nineteen years, but this little apartment has served as home base in between gigs. I want something so much grander for my wife-to-be, but this will have to do for now.“It’s beautiful,” Zarina whispers as I help her out of the cab. The building itself is painted white, matching the other homes and buildings here in Ferragudo, Portugal. The seaside town is quite breathtaking and picturesque with boats adorning the shores and whitewashed homes dotting the skyline.“You’re beautiful,” I say with a grin when she rolls her eyes. “Now let’s get inside before I lose my mind.”I drag my Zarina through the lobby of the apartment building, almost forgetting her damn luggage again. She giggles and spins around in my arms once we step inside the elevator, getting up on her tiptoes to give me a kiss. I wrap my arms around her and haul her into my chest, groaning when I feel

    I wipe a sweaty palm on my jeans and tighten my hold on the bouquet of wildflowers I gathered from one of my favorite parks overlooking the ocean. The plane should be landing any minute now, and I pray to every god I can think of that my babygirl is on it.These last three days have been absolute misery without her. I knew Darren would be upset, but I underestimated his temper, as well as his connections. After we gave our statements about what happened in the hotel room, Darren talked to the officers and apparently greased the wheels to have me fucking deported.After an arduous and humiliating journey back to Portugal in cuffs, I spent the night in a holding cell. I was released yesterday when they realized the charges were bogus, but TSA took my passport, so there was no way to hop on the next plane back to New York.And God, that’s all I’ve wanted to do. I won’t rest until Zarina is in my arms again. I need to hold her, to look at her sharp, beautiful eyes and tell her I love her.

    Over and over, picture after picture, Finn poured his heart out to me. That day at the farmers market he told me he communicated better with photos, but I think his words are just as powerful.Underneath the pile of photos, I see a letter folded up. I reach for it, handling it like a sacred document. To me, it is. Something falls out of the letter when I unfold it. Picking up the scrap of paper, I gasp when I see it’s a plane ticket to Portugal. My name is at the top, along with tomorrow’s date. Was this his plan all along? Was he going to bring me back to Portugal with him?I set the ticket down on the bed and reach for the letter again, hoping to find the answers to my questions.Zarina, my beautiful babygirl,I love every moment of every day with you. Everything you do is enchanting. Magical. I didn’t know what was missing in my life until you flashed those eyes at me and challenged me for control.We haven’t known each other long, but at the same time, my soul knows yours. You fee

    Three days. It’s been three days since Miriam hauled me out of the hotel. Three days since Finn made love to me. Three days since my heart was healed and then shattered.Where is he? What happened? Finn told me he loved me, but the doubts are starting to creep in.That first day, I collapsed on my bed and cried myself to sleep. I was so certain I would wake up next to my Daddy, but when I blinked my swollen eyes open, I was alone, just like I always am. I barely left my room the second day, only venturing out into the house to use the bathroom or grab something to eat.My father won’t even look at me. He’s hardly spoken ten words to me in the last few days. All I know is that he and Miriam got a call when they landed in Bora Bora from someone who saw Finn kissing me at the wedding. According to Miriam, I ruined her wedding and made a fool out of myself and my family.Last night, my dad told me he set up an interview with the dean of NYU next week to discuss my schedule for the fall.

    I feel her pussy knot around my shaft, squeezing me so damn tight it hurts in the best way. Zarina inhales a sharp breath as wave after wave of pleasure wracks her body. She claws at my back, ripping my skin open, making me roar my release and fill her with my seed. I come so damn hard I feel like I might pass out.“Breathe,” I say to myself as much as her.Zarina gasps for air and clings to me as her body trembles with the last of her orgasm. I slide her down my body and hold her close, kissing the top of her head.When we both have somewhat recovered, I step back and pour body wash into my hands before rubbing it over the dips and curves of her body. Zarina leans into me for support, making me smile at how thoroughly fucked and sated she is right now. When I’m done, she soaps me up and places a sweet kiss over my heart.I cup her face and kiss her deeply, passionately, but slowly. One drugging kiss leads to another and another, and before I know it, I’m spinning her around and placi

    I strip out of what little clothes I have left on and then practically tear Zarina’s dress off of her, leaving her in a matching bra and panty set.“Hey!” she shrieks and then giggles. “Be careful! I don’t want you ruining another dress of mine.”I kiss her neck, needing my lips to be on some part of her body right this goddamn second. “I’ll buy you a new one,” I grunt, biting and kissing her again.I slide my hands down her body, gripping her thighs and lifting her gorgeous, curvy body up into my arms. She gasps and hooks her ankles behind my back. I growl and kiss down her neck as she arches her back and presses her body into mine.“Fuck, I need you,” I grunt before nipping at the sensitive skin below her ear.“I’m yours, Daddy,” she pants, rubbing her hot little pussy over my stomach letting me know she needs me, too.“Take a shower with me.” It’s not a question, it’s a command.She nods her head and twists her fingers in my hair, pulling me in for another kiss.I carry her into th

    We walk silently through the market and take a cab back to the house, where I direct Zarina to pack an overnight bag. The sassy little smirk she gives me nearly has me tossing her on her bed and burying my cock between her pouty lips, but I manage to restrain myself.Once we’re packed up, I order an Uber to Four Seasons, ready to show my little love everything she’s asking for. Zarina smiles at me and snuggles into my side, content to let me take care of every little detail.My chest swells up with pride when I step out of the car and hold my hand out for my babygirl. She doesn’t hesitate to take my hand and let me lead her through the opulent lobby and onto the private elevator. I love that she trusts me like this. As soon as the doors shut, I slide my hands down her body and grip her hips, pulling her back against my front.She moans softly, melting into me as I trail kisses up and down her neck. My hands roam up her generous curves until I’m cupping her breasts. Zarina gasps and th
