Genre:  Contemporary Romance

Against all odds, the dog walker gets the girl…

 

Addison

Never knowing if someone is genuinely interested in me or my family’s money keeps my guard up. So when he shows up, my instant hatred for his good looks and sexy smile is no surprise.

I soon discover that Cole isn’t who I think he is, but I’m afraid to lower my walls and let him in. After his relentless pursuing, I find myself being led down a path I never thought possible.

 

Cole

I never thought I deserved to have the white picket fence life – until her. The last thing I expect to find when I knock on my client’s door is the answer to my deepest desires.

One look and I know Addison is out of my league. That will not stop me from trying to make her mine… but my past might.

I want her more now than I did yesterday.

“Cole let’s get one thing straight. We’ve fucked, last night was no different. That’s all this is, two consenting adults scratching an itch, nothing more nothing less. If you think you’ve any claim over me, you’re wrong. Do us both a favor and leave me alone.”

She turns around and continues searching for clothes, grabbing her arm I spin her around and use my body to force her backward toward the wall of the closet. My left-hand reaches out, sweeping clothes out of the way, so I have space to pin her to the wall with my body. Running my nose along the curve of her neck, I feel a shiver run through her body before I nip at her ear.

“I said I wasn’t done with you.” Letting go of her arm, my right-hand rips the towel from between us and I slide my hand down her body. Skimming my finger between her lips, she’s already wet for me.

“Your pussy belongs to me. The sooner you realize that, the better it’ll be for both of us.” Using my foot, I widen her legs so I can slide my finger into her hot core. She moans in pleasure as I curl my finger, brushing against the bundle of nerves that I know will have her seeing stars in no time. Slowly, I pump my fingers in and out, getting a steady rhythm, as I grind my rock-hard cock into her stomach. Sensing my need, Addy reaches down to unbutton my jeans, releasing my cock. She licks her hand from wrist to the tip of her fingers, before gripping my cock tightly and stroking me in the perfect rhythm.

“Please.” Addy grips my cock tighter in her hand.

“So now you beg for me? I thought it was a quick fuck, nothing more.” I pull my fingers from her pussy, slipping them into my mouth to lick them clean.

Releasing her grip on my cock, I see fire in her eyes. “Either fuck me or get out. I don’t have time for your bullshit.”

“Oh, I’ll fuck you, but I want you to beg me first,” I stated as I tuck my cock back into my jeans. I almost whimper in pain as I start to button them up, I want to pound her pussy into submission, but I don’t beg. I never have and never will, she needs to understand who she belongs too.

“I won’t beg.”

“Well, you don’t get my cock, darlin’. You know where to find me when you’re ready to admit who your pussy belongs to.”

With herculean effort, I turn to leave, but before I do, I check the top drawer of her dresser. I originally was looking for another set of panties, but what I found was an even better prize.  Right on top, is an assortment of dildos, vibrators, and special lubricants. “I’m taking these with me. The only dick that’s going in that pussy is mine.”

Addy grabs her towel off the floor to cover up with, a shocked expression on her face, as I gather up all her toys. Closing the drawer with a slam, I grab a bag from the floor, exit the closet, and make my way down the stairs. I only make it half way down before Addy lets out a blood-curdling scream of frustration from the top of the stairs.

“You told her she would have to beg, didn’t you?” Heather asks as I make my way through the kitchen to the back door.

“Yup, and I took all of her toys too. She’ll be begging for me in no time.”

“Fuck you, Cole. She was bad enough before she had an orgasm, now this shit’s going to be unbearable. I’m going to get her laid as payback.”

Dropping my goodies on the counter, I turn around quickly freezing Heather in place with my eyes. “Get in my way, little one, and you’ll regret it.”

“Oh, you’re sexy as hell when you get all possessive.”

I lean over and place a kiss on her forehead. “That’s gross, I really don’t want to fuck my sister.”

“That’s the same thing I told Addy!”

“We tried and failed. We are too much alike, and you know it, like siblings. No spark at all, Addy is the something I need. The piece I didn’t know I was missing until I found it.”

Pushing against my chest, Heather heads toward the sink. “Enough with the mushy. I’ll try to talk some sense into her. I don’t want two of my favorite people hating each other for the rest of my life.” She looks over her shoulder with a huge grin on her face.

I lean down and grab my prizes off the counter and head to the door. “If you and Wyatt ever pull your heads out of your asses, we can all live happily ever after. He already knows if he breaks your heart, I’ll kick his ass.”

Heather lets out a full belly laugh as I shut the door. I know it seems shitty going after her cousin, but her and I never worked out. I was fine with the meaningless sex until I met Addy. Now, after our night together, I know she’s mine, and I won’t stop until I have her.

If Addy wants to play games, we can play. Either way, the result will be the same, me fucking her senseless while she screams my name for the rest of our lives.

Cole

I never thought I deserved to have the white picket fence life – until her. The last thing I expect to find when I knock on my client’s door is the answer to my deepest desires.

One look and I know Addison is out of my league. That will not stop me from trying to make her mine… but my past might.

I continue my trek up the path and ring the doorbell, hoping Addison answers the door. She has been avoiding me the last couple of days. Heather said something about an ex popping up out of nowhere. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything for me to worry about on that front, but it still has me feeling uneasy.

“If it isn’t the devil incarnate,” Addison’s voice interrupts my thoughts. My eyes instantly begin to devour her figure. I map her body from head to toe.

“Hello, Addison.”

“No witty comeback or snarky retort today? Are you losing your touch?” she asks with a raised eyebrow. I can only smirk in return, I’m trying desperately not to shove my way through the door.  Her breathing starts to pick up as the tension thickens between us.

“You can feel it, don’t you?” I growl, stepping closer to her. I drop Delilah’s leash and wrap my arm around Addison’s waist pulling her closer to my body. Luckily Delilah goes directly into the house.

“Get your hands off me,” Addison whimpers.

“You want me, don’t you?” I whisper into her ear, running my nose down the curve of her neck. She moans in response. Pushing my way through the door, I kick it shut with my foot. I spin both of us around, pinning Addison to the door.

“I’m going to fuck you now.” There’s no mistake about it. I can’t wait any longer, my cock is rock hard and ready to take her.

“I hate you,” she says, the fire in her eyes makes me want her even more.

“I hate you too, but that’s beside the point. I’m still going to fuck you.” I lean down and devour her mouth, nipping at her lips until she grants me entry. We both moan in pleasure when out tongues connect, battling for dominance. I reach up with my hand and wrap it in her hair, gently pulling to give myself better access, plunging my tongue further into her mouth. We break apart, both desperate for air.

“I hate you,” she repeats again, skin flushed a delicious shade of pink.

“I’m going to fuck you.”

“I’m going to let you.”

There are no other words needed as she leans in again and captures my lips, finally putting an end to the longest game of foreplay I have ever participated in.

Holy hotness!  Oli has definitely caught my attention!

 

As far back as R.C. Stephens can remember she was a sucker for a good romance. Of course there had to be a prince charming even if he ultimately was a dark knight and there had to be a happy ending.
She watched the movie Dirty Dancing way too many times growing up and Jean Claude Van Damme movies too. Go figure!
After years of saying she would write a book one day, she finally put pen to paper and carved out the plot line for what would eventually become the best selling Twisted Series. Now R.C. is just finishing up her tenth book and can’t seem to stop the stories running through her mind.

I’m an all-or-nothing man—100 percent focused on whatever has my attention.

 

First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.

 

But women never keep my attention for more than a night.

 

Until I peel off Skylar Anderson’s clothes and her mask starts to crumble, showing me glimpses of the girl she’s hiding. She’s funny, sexy and vulnerable and throws me out of bed before I can catch my breath and suggest breakfast.

 

When I start my last undercover job on a yacht, turns out, she’s one of the crew. I try, but I can’t look away.

 

Her high ponytail shows off her kissable neck that tastes like summer.

 

Her short uniform reveals the killer legs that were wrapped around me last night.

 

And her provocative smile? I know what that mouth is capable of.

 

I want to explore her body, discover her secrets and sail off into the sunset with her.

 

I might want to go all in for Skylar, but she should stay away from me. I’ve got secrets of my own and they can only bring her trouble.

 

This is a stand-alone novel.

“Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?”

For some reason, Landon’s compliment didn’t make me wince the way some men’s comments did. Everything about him was different and it had thrown me off kilter. His warm breath on my neck shouldn’t have made me shiver. He shouldn’t ease the ever-present knot in my stomach or have me wanting to slide my hand into his as we walked. He shouldn’t make me feel safe. “You didn’t.”

“Well, you do. Not that it’s any surprise.”

“Because you’re a gentleman who prefers blondes,” I said, nudging him gently with my elbow, trying to lighten the mood.

He pulled in a breath and scraped his hand through his hair. “I’m beginning to think I’m a man who just prefers you.”

I focused on the cobbled street in front of us. “Me?” Had I been mistaken about the ex-girlfriend in town or the girl on Tinder? I tried to hold my breath to ensure I heard his reply.

“Yeah, you. I like you. More and more.”

My stomach swooped, and I tried to think of a response. My head was telling me to run. Far away. I didn’t want to fall for anyone. I’d worked hard to stay single all these years—to keep away from temptation. But now, temptation right in front of me, I found myself rooted to the spot, wanting to know what was next. “Okay.”

“Okay?” he asked.

I nodded, unsure of what to say. Unsure of how I felt. I knew I found Landon attractive.

I knew I liked him too. But I also knew that I’d been single all these years for a reason.

He wrapped his large hand around my upper arm to steady me when I stumbled over a loose cobblestone. We stopped, and I looked up at him as he swept his thumb across my cheekbone. “I’m only going to ask you this once, and you don’t have to decide now, but stay with me tonight?”

“Landon . . .” Somehow, I couldn’t say no to him, even though I knew I shouldn’t say yes.

“Think about it.”

Jason’s a recovering ladies’ man who shouldn’t be on the menu, but that doesn’t mean he’s immune to Tatum’s quirky charm.
