Brian was still groggy from the long flight, but he didn’t think he was hallucinating. There was something intimate between Myrna and this guy who had his hand wrapped around her arm.The tall man turned and his eyes widened. “This has to be a joke, Myrna. Your new boyfriend is a thug?”“He’s not a thug,” she whispered. “He’s perfect.”“Am I interrupting something?” Brian asked, his brows raised in question.Myrna’s hands clenched into fists. Her entire body was shaking. He could see it from halfway across the room. Something wasn’t right here. Who was this guy? And why was he touching Myrna with such familiarity? Had she actually been in such a hurry to return to Kansas City so she could rendezvous with some secret lover of hers? She’d known he was on his way. Surely she wasn’t stupid enough to get caught this easily.“You can leave, thug. My wife and I are getting back together.” The man wrapped an arm around Myrna’s shoulders and tucked her against his side. His lips brushed her te
Myrna didn’t understand what was happening. Why was she being pulled from Brian’s steady and comforting embrace? Why were two police officers wrestling Brian to the floor and handcuffing him? Why had they let Jeremy walk casually out of the apartment?“What is going on?” she screamed.“It’s okay, ma’am. We’ve got him,” one of the police officers said, and then he started to recite Miranda rights to Brian.“Why are you arresting my boyfriend?”The two cops looked at her in confusion.“I’m not the guy you’re looking for,” Brian said, still face-down on the floor. “You let him get away.”The officers looked at Myrna as if they didn’t believe what Brian was saying and needed her verification to proceed.“That’s Brian Sinclair, not Jeremy Condaroy,” Myrna said. “Jeremy is a tall, prudish, blond man.”“Shit!” said one of the officers and he took off out of the apartment and down the corridor. “Freeze,” he yelled, his footsteps carrying down the hall. “I said freeze. I’m going to taser you i
Myrna entered more numbers into the spreadsheet on her computer. Her survey gave consistent, reliable data and showed two strong behavioral trends among the groupies. She had no doubt that this research was going to save her entire career. And if it didn’t, it wasn’t the end of the world. She’d started working on a proposal for a nonfiction book guaranteed to be a bestseller.“I hope you’re smiling like that because you’re thinking about me,” Brian said.She glanced up from the computer screen. She hadn’t heard him enter the bus. He kissed her cheek and slid into the booth across from her.Her smile brightened. “I’m always thinking about you.”There was a clatter near the front of the bus as Trey entered. “Myrna,” he said, “look what I’ve got.”“Cherry suckers?” she guessed.“Fresh shrimp. One of the roadies bought them. Will you make some shrimp scampi?” He set the bag on the table and gave her his puppy dog look. The one he knew she couldn’t resist. “Pwease.”She smiled at him and n
“We’re being tender, Brian, remember?”“That’s not tender?”“Tenderness doesn’t involve your cock at all and especially not wrapping my hair around it.”His eyes flipped open. “You’re kidding!”She covered his lips with her fingers. “Shhh. Close your eyes.”He hesitated for a moment and then obeyed.“I’m going to touch every inch of you,” she whispered. “Kiss every inch.”He grabbed his half-hard cock and stroked it from base to tip. “All ten? Give me a minute. He’s not quite ready yet.”She laughed. “Now who’s making jokes?”He winked at her. “Sorry. I’ll behave.”Her feather light touches began with his left hand. The bruises had faded and the swelling had gone down, but she would never forget that terrifying wait for his X-ray results. She’d been convinced that he’d never play guitar again and it would have been all her fault.She trailed her fingers over the palm of his hand, the thick calluses on his fingertips, and back to his palm. His fingers curled involuntarily.Involving he
Jessica was the happiest woman on the planet. Life could not have been more perfect. She snuck up behind Sed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his ear. “Hey, baby, guess what?”“What?” he said absently.She peeked around his shoulder to find him scowling at a stack of invoices.“I got in!”His scowl deepened in confusion. “You got in? Got in what?”She pulled the acceptance letter from her back pocket and snapped it open in front of him. This would wipe the scowl from his gorgeous face.While he read, she gazed at her recently acquired engagement ring. After all her hard work in school, her dreams were finally becoming a reality. Having a hunky rising-star rock vocalist as her fiancé was the frosting on her Pop Tart.“Law school?” His deep voice rumbled through his back against her chest.“Yeah. Isn’t it great? I’m so excited. We have to go out and celebrate.” She kissed his temple and squeezed him. “I’ll go put on a skirt. We’ll go sightseeing. I want you to make love to
Jessica shoveled another spoon of ice cream into her mouth, feeling marginally better with each gulp. “That guy is sleazy. All he does is stare at my br**sts.”“Everyone stares at your br**sts, Jess.”“I’m also the only student he knows by name.”“You really don’t get it, do you?”“Get what?”“You’re gorgeous. You have guys falling all over themselves to be with you, yet you turn them all down. And how long has it been since you’ve had sex?”“You know I haven’t since—”“You dumped that stupid prick you were engaged to.”Jessica nodded. She didn’t understand why Sed still plagued her.“Are you ever going to get over him?”“I am over him.” She hated his f**king guts. Mostly because she missed him so much.“Whatever, sweetie. Just who do you think wiped your tears every night for six months?”“But I don’t cry over him anymore.”Beth gave her a pitying look. “I know. I’m sorry I brought him up.” She slurped ice cream from her spoon. “Did you find a job yet?”“No.” Which worried her. All t
She ran her hands up his back and he shuddered, gasping softly. She’d discovered his most sensitive erogenous zone, but either she didn’t notice his reaction or didn’t care. She clung to his shoulders, vocalizing her pleasure in the back of her throat.After a few minutes, he said, “I think it’s time for you to suck me. I’ve got to leave soon.”She sighed. “All right. Can you take off the condom though?”“No.” He pulled out and rolled next to her.“I’m afraid I’ll suck it down my throat.”He chuckled. “I don’t think that will be a problem.” He sighed when she sucked him deep. She wasn’t too bad at this. A bit timid. “Suck it hard,” he said. “Harder. Yeah, that’s it.”He usually fought orgasm for as long as he could, but in this case, he concentrated on coming as quickly as possible. When he let go, it was far from satisfying, but at least it was over.She grinned up at him. “How was that?”“Tolerable.” He climbed from the bed and removed the condom, tying a knot in the open end and to
Sed had to give the kid credit. Sed and his band mates didn’t look like guys you should f**k with. Tattoos. Piercings. Chains. Jet black hair, with the exception of Jace and his bleached spikes. Denim and leather. They’d probably fit in better at a biker bar.Tall and muscular, Sed was the largest and most intimidating of the group. He moved to stand beside Eric as back-up. He’d rather have these guys frightened into giving Eric his way. Sed didn’t want to fight them, but he knew it wouldn’t take much to move Eric to blows.“I think you should reconsider.” Sed glared down at the guys around the table.Eric flexed his long fingers and cracked his knuckles.“Christ, Eric, don’t get us all arrested again.” Brian massaged his forehead as if in great distress. “I mean you can only have so many deadly assault charges on your record before they keep you in the slammer for good. You know?”Wide-eyed, the college-aged guys grabbed their drinks and moved to a table near the back of the room.Se
