The strange phrase sent a thrill through me that should have left me with chills instead of the extreme heat it had done. I was suddenly lightheaded, holding my breath as he backed away, watching the arc of the leather strap as it was brought down, almost as if in slow motion. I wasn’t entirely certain the harsh snapping sound wasn’t his wrist versus the thick belt.
But when the rush of endorphins shot through me from the anguish bursting in every muscle, I knew exactly what I was experiencing. Shit. Shit. Shit. I kicked out, fighting to maintain my stance. I never blinked, studying him intently as he brushed the tough pads of his fingers from one side of my bottom to the other.
The light touch was scintillating, almost as much as his heated kisses had been. I was floored at how much I wanted the man. I longed to feel his thick cock driven so deeply inside that I couldn’t breathe.
I was still contemplating my sinful level of desire when he stepped back again, cracking the belt against me four, maybe five times. I wasn’t certain. All I knew was that the pain was horrendous, my bottom on fire while the throb between my legscontinued to increase. Everything about this was crazy, certainly not something I could tell any of my friends about, including Jenny. Admitting the big, badass attorney allowed a mystery man to spank her wasn’t my finest hour.
He continued the spanking, taking his time doling it out as if I’d broken every cardinal rule he had. I closed my eyes, finally accepting the moment and his savage actions, unable to open them again even after sensing he’d tossed the belt aside.
But when he crushed his massive hands around my breasts, pulling me against his heated body, I couldn’t ignore the intoxicating set of vibrations or the man’s incredible scent. It filtered into my system with such ferocity I suddenly couldn’t breathe.
He pressed kisses against my neck, nipping my skin every few seconds. When I finally had the courage to open my eyes, his were even more piercing than before, the shimmer in them telling me in no uncertain terms he would ravage every inch of me.
And dear God, I wanted him to.
In fact, I’d never wanted anything as much as I wanted him to take me like a wild animal. He didn’t disappoint, pressing the tip of his cock against my pussy lips before returning his hand to my swollen and aching breast.
“Maintenant, je vais te baiser, ma belle, jusqu’à ce que tu cries mon nom.”
“What did you say?”
“I said that now, I was going to fuck you, beautiful one, until you scream out my name.”
“I don’t know your name.”
“I guess we’ll need to change that. It’s Joshua.”
“Fucking me will never happen, Joshua,” I whispered hoarsely, no longer recognizing my voice. There was something so boyish about his name. It wasn’t Joshua or John, but sensual and dominating Joshua. As I rolled the syllables across my tongue, a jolt of current occurred, almost making me laugh.
“Oh, yes, it will.”
The man was obviously arrogant as hell, adding to the bad boy persona, but it also made me want him that much more.
He bit down on my earlobe then drove the entire length of his cock inside. I was shocked to the point I yelped, my heart racing as my pussy muscles stretched, trying desperately to accommodate his huge girth. No man had ever filled me so completely, almost managing to drive me straight into an orgasm. While he held still for a full minute, his body remained tense, so much so the electricity shooting from every pore was overwhelming.
“Oh. Oh… my…”
“That’s it, baby girl. I want to hear you scream.” He pulled all the way out, thrusting a second time and I was instantly lightheaded.
Dear God, the man could growl with the best of them.
He pulled almost all the way out once again, the smile drifting across his face positively evil. The moment he pinched my nipples, twisting them painfully, I threw my head back with a ragged moan. Only then did he drive his cock back into my wet heat, muttering something else in French. I would enjoy hearinghim speak and nothing else, but this… his savage actions were incredible.
As he plunged into me again, I slammed my hands on the glass, surprised the reflective surface didn’t come crashing to the floor. The rhythm he used was somewhere in between possessive and brutal, but I met every hard thrust, arching my back as much as the weighted heat of his body would allow.
Everything about him was sensual, including the way his full lips looked when he issued guttural sounds. I remained frozen, trying to get control of any aspect of my breathing while he fucked me. I was enthralled, both of us out of breath. The sensations coursing through me were powerfully electric, leaving my pulse racing even more than just a few moments before.
Even the sound of his hard fucking as our bodies molded together was sensational, adding to the filthy passion. This had to be a sin, but it was one that I would fantasize about for weeks, hell, maybe even months to come.
Joshua pinched my nipples again and while the pain was real, just as explosive as before, I was pushed closer to the moment of rapture. My mystery lover seemed to sense it, whispEricag direct commands in my ear.
“Come for me,cherie. Come on my fat cock. Make me proud of my baby girl.”
His baby girl. I swooned from hearing the words, shocked when my body responded as it had done from his spectacular mouth. The rush was instantaneous, pushing me straight into the blissful world of pure ecstasy.
“Oh. Oh. Oh.”
I couldn’t believe the rush of sensations or those of emotions. He twisted one hand in my hair, yanking back my head before biting down on my neck. I was now staring up at the ceiling as a single orgasm burst into a second, pushing me almost completely out of control. I was exhausted already, licking perspiration from my upper lip as he continued thrusting so deeply inside I was certain he’d hit the entrance to my womb.
His hold was possessive, the man proving the point by shifting his fingers to my throat, squeezing until stars floated in front of my eyes. If any other man had attempted something so brazen, I would have done everything in my power to knock him to the floor, calling the cops afterwards. But with this brute of a man, I was spun out of control, in the heated moment with another blast of desire roaring through me.
He pounded harder, refusing to allow the sensational climaxes to leave just yet. As the pleasure skyrocketed, what he’d commanded of me to do easily came just as every muscle in his body tensed, his face contorting as he was ready to erupt deep inside.
I screamed out his name.
It was that moment he filled me with his seed.
Selena“I’m going to fuck you until you can’t stand up straight. After that, baby girl, I’ll do it again.”Dear God, I hadn’t been able to rid myself of the hunk’s salacious words or the husky tone of his voice. I could still feel the man’s fingers dancing across my skin after the hours that had passed.“No, Jenny. I am not lying to you,” I said into the phone, my fingers crossed from the blatant lie, my pulse still racing. Jenny had bugged me relentlessly the day before and was starting again bright and early on Monday morning in her attempt to get me to spill my guts. She had the instincts of a lion, certain I was lying to her. I wasn’t entirely certain why I wasn’t coming clean, although I’d never considered myself a one-night stand kind of woman, even making fun of girls who engaged in such sordid proclivities.“Uh-huh. You forget I know you too well, girlfriend,” Jenny huffed. “I will get the sexy, blazing truth out of you. My spideysense tells me that you were with a hot man. Ad
“Ronald’s brother.”Fuck. I’d heard enough about Liam Voltair to know he was one bad dude.“Why don’t you stop by the precinct where our suspect is being held before heading to the office this morning. I think it would be a good idea for you to get a feel of what we’re dealing with,” Christine said. Her suggestion was more of a command. However, there was a strange tone in her voice, an edge I didn’t normally hear.Why did I have the distinct feeling she was purposely keeping something from me? Her request was out of the ordinary to say the least. The last thing I wanted to do was to question her. That was one huge no-no, and everyone knew it. Especially when she was in a terse mood, which she certainly was right now. “I can do that.”“Good. I knew I could count on you. I’ll send you as many of the particulars as I’ve been provided, which isn’t much up to this point. The police are being tight-lipped as you might imagine. By the time you arrive, his attorney should be in town. Just be
JoshuaThere was nothing more beautiful in my mind than a woman in a suit, especially a power suit in red. It indicated she was powerful. Self-confident. Alluring. Someone who knew exactly how to use the power God had given her as a stunning woman.And she took my breath away even though I was in shackles, treated like a fucking animal. That didn’t deter the hunger that immediately rushed into my system or the burning need I noticed in her eyes.I gave the prosecuting attorney a nod and nothing more, refusing to show anything other than practiced indifference. I was no fool. I wouldn’t publicly out her. In truth, I realized that with the lovely blonde as the prosecutor, perhaps my luck that had followed me most of my life would remain intact. However, as soon as the shock of recognition started to fade, I sensed she was shutting down, refusing to acknowledge ourintense connection, an electricity that I was surprised the two Neanderthal officers in the room couldn’t detect.I remained
Her words almost made me laugh. I eased back, breaking the tense but delicious moment.“Ms. Barrios, I’ve never been charged with a single crime for a very specific reason. I’m a businessman, my corporation worth billions of dollars. But I’m certain you already know that. However, I wouldn’t have amassed such wealth if I hadn’t gathered enemies along the way.”“Is that what Mr. Voltair and his wife were, enemies?”“Hardly. I didn’t know them.”“Then why were your fingerprints found inside their home?” She gave me a wry look, as if she’d discovered a dark secret.“I had a meeting with Ronald, a business meeting. My fingerprints were obviously found because the man was generous enough to offer me a drink, show me through his fabulous estate. I’m certain Mr. Voltair had a calendar of appointments, which will allow you to check for accuracy. I arrived at five in the afternoon and left somewhere in the vicinity of six-thirty on Saturday evening. From there, I traveled to my hotel where I p
“You are well aware that it was necessary,” I answered, aware of the concern in his voice. He might not be the warmest man, but he adored his two sons and always had. “I don’t like to lose in business or in pleasure. However, if it will make you feel any better, both my Capos are on their way and Baron is currently standing by my side.”“That’s not enough,” he barked again. “Do you have any idea what happened? I want to head there myself to hunt the fucker down.”“Not yet and you need to remain exactly where you are.”“Do you even have an alibi?” Pops pressed, exhaling in exasperation.I glanced at Baron, who had no problem sucking down my expensive scotch while listening intently. “Actually, yes, I do. A solid one.”“Then I suggest you use it so you can get back to business. We have far too much going on. New worlds to conquer, my boy.”My father often forgot he’d been retired for years, leaving the helm to his firstborn. I couldn’t blame him. He wasn’t the kind of man to enjoy a goo
Selena“I can read your thoughts, can smell your longing for what only I can give you.”The bastard’s words had lingered in my mind the entire day. Even worse, he’d been right. Joshua James had ceremoniously attempted to terrify and entice me at the same time, his possessiveness evident in everything about him.His attire.His demeanor.His gestures.The way he’d looked at me, as if I’d fall to my knees should he point to the floor, should be disturbing as hell. Maybe it was the fact he was years older than me that kept me in limbo. Or simply his ridiculously sexy body.“Girl. You need to get a grip.”I could swear his scent lingered on my skin when he hadn’t touched me inside that interrogation room. But dear God, I’d wanted him to. What did that make me? Sick. Twisted. There were other more caustic phrases I could use to describe my actions, my thoughts, and my desires.Shaking, I couldn’t seem to get warm, even though I’d turned up the heat to full blast inside my car. I was losing
Look out, world. I couldn’t imagine how she’d be with kids. I headed for the set of double doors, preparing myself for the stench of formaldehyde. I usually gagged when entEricag. Maybe the continuous rush of adrenaline from seeing Joshua was preventing me from doing so this time.That I couldn’t get the man out of my mind was a telling statement of how much trouble I was truly in. If my boss found out I’d slept with the man, I had a feeling she’d fire me on the spot, whether or not she believed me that I hadn’t known who he was.I found Victoria with her elbow-length gloves on, her hands wrists deep inside a victim. She was listening to rock music while performing her task, even swaying a little in time to the drumbeat.I stood watching her for a few seconds as she removed an organ, placing it almost lovingly in a metal pan. I had to turn my head away, the thought of gagging on my bright red pumps not a good picture in my mind. When I finally cleared my throat, she laughed.“I knew y
Selena“How’s that blouse now, Selena?”Jesus. I couldn’t shake Joshua’s words or his face. Even the music I’d selected, heavy metal music to be exact, had done almost nothing.I was jumpy, more than usual so when I heard a sharp rap on the door, I almost yelped in surprise. After taking a deep breath, I headed into the foyer.“I saw you on the news,” Jenny said as soon as I opened my door. Her smile made me cringe all over again.“Nice to see you too,bestie.” I jerked the bag holding the wine out of her hand, leaving her to close the door behind her. The day had been arduous, my office phone ringing off the hook. I was thankful my cellphone was kept a secret from almost everyone or it would still be ringing off the hook.“Hey, I watch television. You don’t appear happy at all in the shots. But you did look fabulous in red, darling.” When I threw her another hateful look, she rolled her eyes.“How could anyone be happy while being bombarded by sharks and piranhas?”I’d tried everythin
