“And why is that, Selena? Is it that you have a boyfriend? Oh, no. Matt broke up with you. Isn’t that correct, not hesitating to remove you from every one of his social media platforms? By theway, you’re better off without him. He’s fucking everything in a skirt in the city.”“Damn you,” she hissed. “You are a fucking son of a bitch. You’ve been spying on me. Did you seduce me figuring out the fastest rising prosecutor in this city would be your greatest alibi?”“You both over- and underestimate my capabilities. I didn’t know who you were when I sat down at that bar just like you didn’t know a damn thing about me. However, as soon as I tasted you, I wanted to learn everything I could about your life, your passions, and your needs.” I allowed my heated gaze to fall slowly, leaning in so I could catch another whiff of her exotic scent. My balls were tight as drums.“Why, so you could blackmail me? I assure you I don’t have any money. I’m also not that powerful in this city.”I leaned fo

SelenaDamn the man. Damn everything about him, including his dashing good looks and his fucking praise that got to me every time.Damn the way he created a wave of excitement building from my core out, the hunger washing through me like a tidal wave. And especially damn him for enticing me with his dominance. As he captured my mouth, I was cognizant of where I was sitting, on a patio with a solid two dozen other people all around me, any of whom could recognize me even in the darkness. But I just didn’t seem to care in the least.The combination of flavors from the tanginess of the oyster and his scotch to the richness of my wine was the true aphrodisiac, making my skin tingle all over and my pussy throb harder than it had done the day before. I was breathless, a shimmer of lights pulsing in the back of my mind.I was also crazy for not leaving as soon as he’d sat down, refusing to talk to him, but he was irresistible in every way. And his prowess was off the charts.As soon as he sw

I slid both arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair, marveling at the silky feel running through my fingers.He growled like the predator he was then captured my mouth, instantly thrusting his tongue inside as he yanked my leg against his thigh. The kiss was animalistic, insanely powerful and I couldn’t breathe as he swept his tongue back and forth. Everything about him was dominating, pushing me to limits I hadn’t known I had.I gathered a whiff of our combined desire, the scent so potent that I was certain any elevator passengers for hours to come would smell our longing. His cock was rock hard, and as heground his hips back and forth, allowing me to know the state of hunger he was in, I was more lightheaded than before.The taste of the oysters remained, and I wanted to laugh as I wondered whether or not he was right about the shellfish being an aphrodisiac. Maybe I could blame eating them for the state of mind and body I was in.My little voice started to nag me once

JoshuaCaustic beauty.Possible mistake.Uncontrollable need.All three thoughts had entered my mind more than once, but nothing mattered any longer but being with her. I sensed Selena remained concerned yet the draw to one another was inescapable. As she dropped to her knees, I threw back another gulp of scotch, but it wasn’t alcohol that could soothe the savage beast inside of me at this point. Only her. Tasting. Fucking. Using.Taming.The crazed need was surprising for a man who never lost control, whose entire world had been laid out since birth. I continued playing, something I hadn’t done in a long time. The release was entirely different than alcohol or sex, or even winning over anopponent. It felt free in an entirely different manner, capturing peace that I didn’t deserve.She’d reminded me of that, giving me the gift of her verve and fight for control.When she was close to the bench, I stopped playing altogether, shifting on the seat then fisting her hair, taking gasping br

“Reminding you of your place.”“What’s that?” she purred as I wrapped one hand around both her wrists.“My sweet submissive.”“Never.”“I guess we’ll see about that.”She shuddered visibly. “Not a chance.”“You will do as I say,” I teased, but it was truthful.She seemed full of surprises, not bothEricag to try to get out of my hold. I continued fucking her in earnest, the force driving her into the bed, the headboard hitting the wall several times. She continued wiggling under me, now starting to try to free her hands.“Escaping is not going to happen, sweet girl.”That’s the moment I released my hold, backing off onto my knees, watching as she brushed her hand down her face, her breathing heavier than before. When she rolled over, I slipped my arm underneath, lifting and plopping her down onto her hands and knees.Anticipation tightened my gut, my reaction to her involuntary, as if I’d known her all my life. There was nothing pure and innocent about my intentions. I’d never tell any

SelenaDeadly allure.That’s exactly what Joshua had in spades. The danger surrounding him was real and it was terribly exciting. While he was afraid of being alive, I reveled in the electricity, hungry for more. That terrified me as well.The man had been smiled on by the gods, so perfectly created with his chiseled jaw and hard muscles that even now my stomach was in knots thinking about him. What troubled me wasn’t only how my body had betrayed me but also that I felt myself slipping further into the dark abyss of his dangerous world. Meaning I could do even more inappropriate things to keep him from prison.The fact his body had intricate ink in the most delicious places was equally as attractive, a bad boy personified. I had to wonder whether he owned and rode a Harley. I laughed softly, brushing the back of my hand down my neck, tingling from the filthy thoughts that lingered. Even though he was polished, riddledwith understated elegance, there was a rough edge about him, his in

“That women couldn’t be president of the United States given our weakness. When I asked him what that was, he said it was our sex. That we used our beauty to lure men in instead of our brains to beat them in anything worthwhile, including all aspects of business. Then he told me that I would make a pretty good beauty queen and could likely find a decent enough husband. But that if I worked on myself, including spending more time in the gym, I could improve my odds.”“Your father was an asshole.” What the hell was she trying to tell me?She laughed. “Yes, he was. But what that heart to heart did for me was put a fire in my belly. I went on to get a full scholarship to Columbia where I excelled. On the day I had to bury my father, I stood over his coffin and told him that I would be president one day. Then I laughed. I haven’t been back to the gravesite since. But I thank him every day for being such an abominable man. And do you want to know a little secret?”“Sure.”There was somethin

Liam.Mikey leaned forward, scanning the perimeter while he shook his head. “Are you sure about that, boss?”“Do not…” Hissing, I had to tamp down the rage so as to not make a scene. “Do not ever question my authority again. Is that clear?” What I also couldn’t erase from my mind was that my arrival in Louisville had been used against me and against the Voltairs. Was it possible Liam had broken protocol, used the meeting to take out his own brother? Selena’s idea had been well thought out. Enough so a meeting with Liam would flush out his intentions, or so I hoped.“Never again, sir,” Mikey said quietly. “Just a slight reminder that you have two soldiers with you. He has dozens, many of who are chomping at the bit to spill the blood of their enemy.”The girl approached, the arm holding the tray shaking so badly the drink glasses were clicking together as she walked. She could no longer look me in the eyes as she placed the drinks in front of me. Then she slipped the bill down as well,

SelenaDo you remember me? I’ve been looking forward to seeing you again.The words lingered in my mind, the second note I’d found on the windshield of my car haunting, pulling me into an entirely different kind of darkness. Was it possible my past was coming back to haunt me?The terror was real and ripe, pushing me to the very edge of rationality. And I hated it.I’d stood staring at the blood-red script, taking me back to the single time in my life when I’d failed completely. I’d failed myself. My profession. And the victims of heinous crimes. The loss had humbled me, shaken me, and provided proof that I could never be cocky. What was I doing lately? I’d laughed even as a few tears had slipped past my lashes, refusing to believe the monster had returned after these years. But the MO was very similar, the same calling card that I’d heard about from the various cops who’d investigated the scene.The pictures reminded me of the ones depicting the murders of the Voltairs, but there was

Yet the last thing I wanted to do was to call attention to the fact I was standing outside watching whoever it was casing my house. Things like this didn’t end well. Could it be that Joshua had found me? That wasn’t possible. My address was unlisted on purpose, only my boss… Fuck.I held my breath as a truck rolled by, where I was standing lit by the single streetlight on the entire block. This was getting ridiculous. When it finally drove by a few seconds later, I didn’t waste any time, still fumbling but finally getting the key into the small slot. When I threw open the door, I still expected someone would jump from the shadows, but the warmth of my cozy home, including the light over the stove I had left on allowed me to feel a little better.Still, I closed and locked the door, almost dropping the wet bags. I hurried into the kitchen, barely able to get them onto the counter before one of the bags split. Thank God, I caught the bottle of wine before it smashed to the floor.At lea
