TEASER

“Go home, Ron. It’s been a long day and I’m exhausted. I want to go to bed.” When he opened his mouth, she added quickly, “alone.” Something flashed in his eyes. Pain? She couldn’t be sure. “I’m sorry. I just really need to be alone tonight.”

“Okay. I understand your need for privacy, so I’ll leave. But,” he paused until she was back looking at him, “I’ll be here first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Don’t. Please. I don’t need the complication of a relationship right now.”

“Too late, babe, because we’re having one.” He picked up his jacket, shrugged it on, then turned and flashed a grin at her. His hot gaze raked her body.

Ashley closed her eyes, as if that simple act could stop her body from greedily responding to the promise in his gaze. She must be jinxed or something. When she opened her eyes, Ron was staring at her with a triumphant grin on his face.

“Don’t come back, Ron. I don’t want you to.”

“You can’t get rid of me that easily, babe. I will not go away just because you order me to, so don’t.” He closed the gap between them, the grin disappearing from his face. When he stopped before her, he was so close his breath ruffled the strands of hair on her forehead. He lifted her chin until their gaze locked. A searing buzz of sexual heat flickered, then warmed the air.

“Don’t push me, Ron.” Her voice came out shaky. She hated that.

“I will until you accept the inevitable.” His voice was soft, but relentless. “You can say you don’t want me, but we both know it’s a lie. Your body knows what it wants, what it craves. Don’t fight me, Ashley, because when it comes to this,” he lowered his head and landed a possessive kiss on her lips, “I always win.”

When she came back, she was wearing sexy lingerie designed to entice, but it wasn’t necessary when it came to them.

“Sorry, I sleep in the nude,” Chase said, removing his pants. He stretched out beside her, pulled her into his arms, and nuzzled her neck. “Take it off, Nikki. I want to feel your skin against mine.”

Without complaining about his arrogance, she sat up and removed the lingerie, her gorgeous body a feast for the eyes. She threw it to the foot of the bed.

“The thong too,” he added, lazily circling her nipple.

She chuckled, removed it, and slid into his arms. “You do know you are very demanding.”

“I want to be able to find you without unnecessary barriers.”

She half lay on his chest, her knee hitched up to cradle his placid manhood. “I don’t think a few flimsy clothes would stop you.”

He chuckled. “No, they wouldn’t.” He stoked her shoulder.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her hand sliding up to stroke his hair. The movement was sensual, yet soothing. “I’m happy we did this. You are an amazing lover.” She spoke so softly, but he heard her.

“It takes two, babe.”

He woke her up in the morning with a kiss and made love to her again.

TEASER

Ashley pursed her lips at the picture of three of them together. Her mother and father were on either side of her. “Dad…my father had shown me how to set the camera on a timer. See?” She indicated the background. “It’s the same room as in the first photograph.”

Ron gave her the third photograph. She studied the glossy print. “I took this one outside Carlyle House…I mean, the Carlyle Club, as it was called then. It was the first time I saw it. It looked so grand, magnificent, like a castle straight out of a fairy tale.”

“An exclusive club for the A-list stars was more like it,” he corrected wryly. “A cousin of my mother’s ran it at the time. You were probably the only child ever to enter it at night. I’d been inside it numerous times, but always during the day, when families used the pool and the restaurant.”

If only she could remember going inside. It was frustrating, but at the same time, comforting. She knew it was cowardly of her, but the fewer the memories of that particular night the better.

There was a brief, tense silence. From Ron’s expectant expression, she knew he was waiting for her to say something. She’d never wanted to discuss what happened, but something about the man’s calming presence urged her on.

“It was my birthday,” she finally said, deciding to tiptoe rather than dive into the horror.

Ron’s eyebrows shot up. “The day of the fire?”

She gave him a weak smile and nodded. “Makes one wonder what the big guy upstairs was thinking.”

“Damn,” he said under his breath.

Damned was exactly how she felt on her birthdays. Celebrating, and at the same time mourning, was enough to throw a kink in anyone’s psyche. But to a child, it was pure torture. Without her dear, loving Aunt Estelle, she didn’t know if she could have endured it.

A frown creased her brow when she caught Ron’s expression. Was it pity or compassion? Pity was the one emotion she refused to accept from anyone. She clenched her hand.

“I’ve learned to live with it.” Her tone came out defensive. “My aunt made everything okay.”

Ron shook his head. “But you’re reminded of your loss on your birthdays. How can anyone make that okay?”

Chase backed away from the door and went in search of Nikki. She opened her bedroom door with a sexy smile, her hazel eyes twinkling. That smile still had the power to make him catch his breath.

“Hey, gorgeous. Lex is wait—”

She grabbed his shirt, pulled him to her, and proceeded to kiss him like she hadn’t seen him in days, or woken up in his arms this morning and made love to him like she couldn’t get enough of him. She broke the contact and gave him a slow smile.

“I’ve wanted to do that,” she whispered, “since we came back from the canyon. If your brother wasn’t waiting…” She kissed him again.

He lifted her up, bringing her chest close to his face. She sunk her hands in his hair as he buried his face in the valley between her breasts. She’d changed her shirt after the ride and was wearing one of her feminine, lacy tops. Her warmth and scent, flowery and exotic, was intoxicating. She always smelled nice.

“The things you do to me, Nikki Savoy,” he said.

“The things I want to do to you, Chase Fitzgerald,” she teased.

He loved the way she said that. It often preceded hot, mind-numbing sex. “Do you know how crazy I am about you?”

She pretended to think about it. “No. Show me.”

Chase knew he wouldn’t last long, not when she was causing havoc on his senses. Her fingers, tongue, mouth, and teeth were everywhere. He groaned and jerked upward when she moved even lower and started caressing his abs. Then her hands slid under his firm buttocks and squeezed them. He barely controlled the groan that slipped from his lips.

“Do you know how I admired these the first day I walked into your house? I wondered if they felt as powerful as they looked,” she whispered.

“You called me a baboon,” he said in a voice he hardly recognized.

She chuckled. “A very sexy baboon.”

Her hot breath seemed to sear his skin straight to his muscles. They contracted. He was rock hard and aching. He prayed she wouldn’t touch him. He would fall apart and embarrass both of them. Her breasts grazed his erection, and he groaned.

No, he couldn’t take it.

He reached down, pulled her up, and rolled them so she was under him. “I’m going to love you, again. You, sassy lady, are bent on driving me insane.”

“But it’s so unfair. Why can’t I take charge?”

She pouted so prettily that he couldn’t help kissing her lips. “You do that with every look, every touch, and... oh!” Her hand closed around him. Stroked him. He closed his eyes.

“It is my turn, cowboy. I’ll be accommodating and take your preferences into consideration, but I’m still in charge,” she whispered in his ear and bit his lobe. Chase groaned.

Nikki smiled with satisfaction. “Where are they?”

“Huh?” he mumbled like an idiot. Her hands were driving him crazy.

“Protection, cowboy. Where are they?”

He chuckled, caught her jaw and tilted her chin with his thumb. Her eyes grew soft as she stared at him, her lips parting in silent invitation. Sensual tension swirled and crested.

“How’s this for meeting you halfway,” he said then leaned down.

Her breath hitched. He kissed her, his tongue slipping past her lush lips to circle her tongue with quick, urgent strokes. He explored her mouth, savoring the taste of her, begging her to join him.

As if a dam broke loose, she gave in and drank him, arms reaching up to wind them around his neck. He dumped his laptop on top of hers and lifted her up from the chair, her legs wrapping around his waist. His head spun with the taste, the feel, the scent of her, but somehow, he made it to the couch, taking her with him. She sat on his lap, legs still wrapped around his waist, the length of his throbbing flesh cradled by the apex of her legs. He could feel her heat and it drove him a little crazy.

His hands cupped her heavy breasts, his thumbs rubbing her tight nipples. She tore her lips from his and threw her head back, her back arching. Beautiful. Giving. She was amazing.

He yanked off her oversize T-shirt, revealing the lacy black camisole and matching skimpy shorts. For a brief moment, he feasted on her lushness, the ripe strawberry nipples peeking through the lace.

He buried his face between her perfect mounds and inhaled her essence. She shuddered, gripping his head and pressing him against her.

Blood roaring past his ears, Eddie turned his head and captured one nipple through the lace, nibbled and gnawed on the rosy tip while she squirmed. The material offered no barrier, but it wasn’t enough. He was drowning with need, a ravenous hunger like he’d never experienced before. He opened his mouth and sucked hard, his hands sliding under her camisole to hold her in place, a low growl of hunger escaping his lips.

“Eddie…”

“I want you.” His mouth moved to her neck, nibbling, gnawing. “So much.” He bit her earlobe. “All the time. Say you want me, Amy.”

He turned her around and pushed wet strands from her cheek. A faint blush tinged her cheeks, and her eyes darkened. He’d never wanted a woman like this—with every breath he took and every inch of his body.

“Uh, my drink?” she said, reaching for her martini.

“The drink can wait.” He caught her wrist, pressed it against his chest, and caressed her cheek. “I want you, Nikki. And you want me.”

“I know.” She rubbed her cheek against his hand, her eyes not leaving his. She released a shaky breath. “It doesn’t mean we have to do something about it.”

“Why not?”

“There is so much we don’t know about each other.”

“I know enough. If you’re scared about where this might lead us, talk to me. You can trust me, Nikki. I’d never hurt you.”

She smiled. “I’m not scared. Don’t you remember what I said to you earlier in the week? I can handle anything...”

He pressed a thumb to her lips.

“Can you handle this?” He replaced his thumb with his lips, nipped her lower lip, and soothed it with his tongue when she gasped. Her lips were soft, her mouth sweet and intoxicating. His tongue slipped into her mouth to taste her, inviting her to explore his desire.

They moved from warm to blazing hot in a fraction of a second. She didn’t hold back and neither did he. He gripped her shoulders and pulled her body up and against his, his arousal pulsating and demanding to be released. She pressed closer, seeking more contact.

The kiss that had started as a lesson backfired on Chase as he groaned his need. He wanted much more than a mere kiss from this woman. He wanted to devour her, brand her, and make her his. He drank from her.

She tightened her hold on his back as she rubbed and kneaded his muscles, her nails digging into his skin. His lips moved from their hot dueling mouths and traveled along her jaw, while moaning her name.

“Chase,” she whispered.

“I’m here, babe.” His tongue seared the satiny skin of her neck, savoring the texture and the sweet sexy scent that was pure Nikki. The raw, untapped passion sent adrenaline rushing through him. His body on fire, he pressed her closer while his other hand moved to caress the swellings on her chest. Her nipples responded, her breath catching. “Don’t ask me to stop.”

By the Fire Light with Chase Fitzgerald

Nikki leaned back and exhaled. The sun was setting over the Pacific Ocean, painting the sky with palettes of orange. The view was amazing, but then again, her husband never did anything that wasn’t spectacular. She reached down and rubbed her stomach, a smiling tugging her mouth. Being married to Chase Fitzgerald has been a thrill of a lifetime.

The sliding door behind her opened and she smiled before his warm lips pressed on her shoulder. “You look stunning, my lady in red,” Chase whispered.

Nikki turned her head and smiled up at him. Two years after saying “I do” on their ranch in Montana and he still took her breath away. Still had the power to reduce her to a drooling mass of needs and wants. He was dressed for the occasion too. His shoulders seemed broader, his body harder, and his sexy smile still promised all sorts of decadence.

“You cleaned up pretty well too, Rancher Fitzgerald.” She captured his lips in a long kiss, the taste of him going straight to her head.

“Quit messing with my head, woman. I have laid out a plan for this evening and we’re following it to the letter. You will not distract me.” He offered her a chocolate-covered strawberry. “My special recipe.”

Nikki grinned. “Oh, your sons and I have been craving these.”

“Don’t you mean my daughters?” Chase knelt by her seat and pressed a kiss on her swollen stomach, gently stroking it.

They’d flown to L.A. to see her gynecologist, but the three-day visit had turned into a week. Every Fitzgerald had insisted they visit them. Tomorrow was a huge family picnic right here at the family estate in Palos Verdes. The Fitzgerald picnics were usually fun, but when you are six months pregnant with twins, crowds got on your nerves fast. At least tonight they had the house to themselves.

“Hey! One of them kicked me,” Chase said.

Nikki laughed. “They probably heard your voice and are saying hello. Boys, behave,” she added, patting her stomach. She didn’t think she could ever be this happy or feel so cherished.

Chase chuckled and proceeded to have a one-sided conversation with their unborn children. “Your Mommy insists you are boys and since she’s never wrong and today is such a special day, I’ll give in. I love you, you little rascals, but we need to come to an understanding before you are born. I saw her first. She’s mine. She can love you, spoil you, or think you can never do wrong, but she’ll always be mine. My first. My last. My everything. One day, if you’re lucky, you might find yourself a gem like her. Now behave for the rest of the evening because tonight is our night. Hers and mine.” He stood. “Come, sweetheart.” He helped Nikki to her feet and led into the house.

Soft jazz greeted her when she stepped inside. In the middle of the bedroom was a table set for two. Dome-shaped lids covered serving plates on two serving carts were on either sides of the table. A bottle of lemon-raspberry fizz sat in a cooler. Two candles flickered on either side of a single rose sitting majestically at the center of the table. This was beyond beautiful.

She heard crackling and turned her head to look. He’d started a fire. A real fire with logs. Warmth drifted from the fireplace, chasing away the spring coolness in the air. But the best part, he’d pulled down the mattress and placed it in front of the fire. She loved making love to him in front of the fire back at home.

“Oh, honey,” Nikki whispered. “This is amazing.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” he said, pulling out a chair for her. He planted another kiss on her shoulder before lifting lid after lid and showing her the Valentine’s Day meal he’d prepared for her.

“For appetizer, we have clam oreganata and fried oysters. There’s crouton salad. Side dishes are spinach and mushroom ravioli and truffled mashed potatoes. For the main dish, I thought you’d like something different, crispy rack of lamb with honey and mascarpone. And to finish it, chocolate-raspberry mascarpone bars.”

He’d out done himself. “You are priceless, Chase Fitzgerald.”

“I know.” He flashed his famous sexy smile, then he grew series. He poured the lemon-raspberry fizz in chutes and offered her one. “Here is to you, my love. My safe harbor in a storm. My anchor. Every day I look at you and breathe easier because you chose me to be your husband and agreed to become my wife, my love, the mother of my children. I love you, Nikki Fitzgerald.”

Tears rushed to her eyes. She cried so easily these days. First time it happened, Chase had panicked that he’d hurt her feelings. Turned out pregnancy was playing havoc with her emotions.

She reached out and took his hand and started talking. Chase heard her vows of love and devotion, but it wasn’t her words that had him swallowing and fighting tears of his own. It was the look in her eyes and what they said: she adored him, needed him, and wanted him.

Dinner was great, but he was completely focused on her. Her eyes sparkled underneath thick lashes. Her skin glowed in the flickering light of the candles and the fire behind her created an aura around her, giving her a shimmering incandescence. His fascination with her lips had never waned. She had the sexiest, luscious lips God had ever given a woman. He was madly in love with this breathtaking woman and it never failed to humble him that she felt the same.

“Dance with me,” Chase requested huskily when they were done eating.

“But this…” she patted her stomach.

“Can’t stop me.” He wrapped his arms around her and brought her back to his font. When he crossed his hands over her stomach, she covered them with hers, interlacing their fingers. They swayed gently.

He wanted her and was sure she could feel his erection pressing against her butt. He dropped his head to nuzzle her neck and a tremor shot through her and her breathing changed. Her response to his touch never failed to amaze him. He planned to make love to her slowly and thoroughly. For now, he was content with the foreplay.

She wiggled out of his arms and faced him. The look in her eyes told him foreplay was over. She pushed aside the spaghetti straps of her dress and the red dress floated to her feet. She kicked it out of the way. His eyes crossed. She looked glorious, the flickering fire covering her lush body in a blush of gold.

Wearing nothing but heels, which he still thought pregnant women shouldn’t wear, and a come-hither smile, Nikki planted a hand on her hip and purred, “Happy Valentine’s Day, my husband.”

Damn, she’d just hijacked his plans. Chase stripped in record time, then closed the gap between them and scooped her up. “Happy Valentine’s Day, wife.”

TEASER

She was in deep trouble with this man, but for once, she didn’t care. She sat up and kissed him, showing him with her hands and lips how much he meant to her. She pulled him on top of her, legs tangled, his face coming to rest on her breast. She shimmied along his sweat-drenched body and covered his mouth with hers in a searing kiss. At the same time, her hand closed around his massive erection and guided him to her entrance.

He broke off the kiss, reared his back and hissed with pleasure as they joined, their gazes locked. Every moment was like the first time, her sheath adjusting to his size, to the heavy intrusion.

“You feel so amazing,” he ground out.

“Then you’re going to enjoy this.” She wrapped her arms around him and rolled with him, almost landing them on the floor. A chuckle rumbled through his chest.

She’d surprised him, but then again, that was his Faith. Unpredictable. Impossible. He’d wondered when she’d get tired of letting him have the upper hand and switch roles.

“You’re mine now, Kenneth Lambert,” she said and started riding him.

“Willingly,” he ground out.

“Say it,” she repeated his previous command.

She was perfect. Amazing. “I’m yours.”

She splayed her hands on his taut stomach, rose up his shaft and sank down. A sheen of moisture dotted her skin, her breasts bouncing with each move. He reached up to cup her breasts, but she wasn’t having any of it.

“No touching.” She clasped his wrist, pushed up his arms above his head and paused to kiss him. “It’s my turn to please you now. Lay back and enjoy the ride.”

TEASER

“I want our first time together to be perfect.” Baron waited for her to say something but Kara fell silent, her eyes serious, and her hands stopped their gentle exploration. The silence continued. Regret followed, and his face grew hot.

“I meant I won’t be able to stop—”

“Shh.” She placed her finger on his lips. “That was the sweetest and sexiest thing a man has ever said to me.”

Baron grinned. “Really?”

“Really. Now will you stop torturing me with small talk and kiss me.”

He dropped his head and claimed her mouth. Her lips opened under his, passionate and yielding, sweet and addictive. He slid his hand under the hem of her dress. Her skin was warm, smooth, and soft. What would it taste like? He hoped to find out tonight. She shivered, but his relentless hand kept moving upward, greedily stroking, and worshipping her curves, past the lacey edge of her thong to her silken belly.

He pulled away from the kiss, his breathing shallow. Kara slowly opened her eyes and the hunger in them sent a primal thrill through him. His eyes shifted to her dress.

“Take it off,” he commanded.

Confusion flashed in her eyes. “My dress?”

“Yes.” He shifted back to give her space and watched her bunch the hem of her dress then pull it over her head. Her mood shifted as she revealed a lacey black bra and matching skimpy lace thong. She dropped her head and her hair swung to hide her face. His baby was shy? He hoped to cure her of that soon but for now, no need to make her even more self-conscious by pointing out her wariness.

He reached behind her, deftly unhooked the bra and flung it aside. He stared at the contours of her breasts. Pure perfection, he wanted to say, but words failed him. The tips rose tight and pink against her skin, begging to be savored. He reached out and trailed his knuckles down her warm chest, over the taut nipples. She shivered and arched her back, her breathing short and choppy.

“I’ve often fantasized about these,” he told her softly, stroking and exploring the plump mounds, loving the way they filled his palms.

“They’re not drool-worthy.” Her voice shook with uncertainty.

“They’re perfect.”
