All Chapters of Manhattan Passion: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Riley walked over to her mother impatiently. “Mom, you’re going to miss your flight.” She started crossing her arms and tapping her foot on the ground impatiently. “For the third time, this club would be a good, already established business, to add into our hotels, it’ll be better than adding an unknown one and these clubs are some of the most well-known in the country. You’re going to make the club owner think we are flakey and he’s going to back out.” “Riley what do you want me to do? They pushed my deadline up, I have to stay focused right now, Jerrod will understand.” Erin James returned, still staring intently at her laptop screen. “I can’t just send Sam, he and Mandy are on that trip for your father already.” “Then I’ll go. I’m part of the family too. I know everything I need to know about our hotels and these clubs that is necessary, and they are going to bring in accountants anyway. Plus me and Sam did most of the work on the blueprints.” Riley cont

Jackson walked into his family’s night club, he was usually proud to look around and enjoy how business was going, but he had been here for two straight weeks waiting for a business meeting. He was irritated from the second he got sent away from home to go to the meeting but he had been blown off several times already. He ran his fingers through his hair before opening the door.   The club was the same as it was every other day he had been there, busy, maybe one hundred women alone, but this time one woman caught his attention and it was like she was the only person there. She was wearing a purple halter top, black cowboy hat, a pair of light blue skinny jeans, and a pair of light grey with purple accents cowboy boots, Her auburn red hair barely reached the bottom of her shoulder blades.   The way she danced was different, but enticing. Just the way she moved he could tell that she wasn’t from California, but damn did she look ho

Jackson barely had the time to open his eyes and enjoy the naked beauty sleeping next to him before his phone rang. He quickly silenced it so he wouldn’t wake her. Seeing that it was his father calling he quickly pulled on his clothes and left a note with his phone number. He slid it under her phone just enough so that it wouldn’t get knocked down, but enough of it hung out so that she would be able to see it. He smiled as he took one last look at the beautiful woman. Feeling himself stiffening already he thought about going back to bed, ignoring his father’s call completely, but he knew his father wouldn’t stop calling until he answered. He let out a displeased grunt as his phone started ringing again. He very unhappily stepped out the door. “What dad?” He half whispered, half yelled. He was irritated beyond all belief that his amazing encounter had to end with him bailing on that stunning woman, just because his father couldn’t stop calling. “Jac

Jackson was getting more and more irritated with every minute that went by that he waited outside of the club. It was fifteen minutes after he was supposed to meet with Erin’s assistant, or whoever she was sending. The accountants were already seated at a booth inside, sipping on some fruity, barely alcoholic drink that they had Todd make for them.The club wasn’t open yet, so he was strictly here for this deal that his dad pressured him not to screw up. He showed up early, just to make a good impression, but no, the bastard was late. He leant up against the wall, one foot pushed up against the wall, with his arms folded in discontent.Watching the expensive town car pull up, he checked his watch, two weeks and twenty minutes late, he thought as he saw the passenger door open. It was some big, built guy in a black suit with slicked back black hair. He was a little surprised when he stepped to the back door and opened it.As she stepped out o

That question made Riley think back to the last time she was intimate with someone. Gerard was the pick of her family and for a while he did make her happy and she genuinely did believe that she loved him. They were kissing passionately on the bed in his fraternity house.He started running his hands down her sides and then down her skirt until he started to pull it up. “Gerard I’m not sure I’m ready.”“Come on baby, it won’t hurt.” He said, kissing her neck. “ Just let me try it.” He pulled his pants down just enough and took her panties off leaving her skirt on. “I guess we...” before she could even finish her half approval he was pushing into her.She felt pain, and he wasn’t even trying to be gentle. “No, Gerard I want to stop.” She said as a tear ran down her cheek.“Just give it a second baby.”
