Blurb:
She’s just
inherited a tattoo parlor…and the hunk who comes with it.
Lauren’s in a helluva mess. Not only has she lost her corporate
job, her long-absent father just left her a struggling tattoo parlor along with
the virile dude who runs it. Dante’s sinfully hot with a killer smile and inked
biceps. Lauren’s full-figured, sorta pretty and wanting him badly. Dream on.
She’s here to sell the place as quickly as possible for some much-needed cash.
Dante sees the heat in Lauren’s eyes despite her conservative
appearance. He recognizes the dynamite woman she could be if she’d just loosen
up and have some wicked fun. Dominance and submission. Making love in a public
place. Having her lush body always accessible to and ready for his.
Carnal games that seduce them until lust turns to surprising need
and friendship to something deeper that might just change their futures.
Excerpt:
Growling, Dante not only
participated, he fucking claimed her, slipping his arm around her waist,
holding her tight enough that Lauren knew she wasn’t going anywhere.
Oh hell yeah. She moaned wantonly. He delivered
more pleasure, his tongue pushing hers aside so his could fill her mouth. The
scent of coffee lingered on his breath. His skin smelled clean and musky.
Lauren sagged into him.
He got all protective and
possessive, tensing his arm to support her weight. With his free hand, Dante
cupped her boob, his passion matching hers. There wasn’t a bit of hesitation or
tenderness, only pure hungry male as he squeezed the soft swell of her breast
then thumbed her nipple, making the tip so tight it hurt. The ache felt good.
Needed. Lauren opened her mouth even more, her tongue dancing with his. She
ground her pussy against his cock.
They made hungry, shameless
sounds that fueled their desire, their kiss going from out of control to beyond
anything Lauren had experienced with another man. She dragged her fingers over
his shoulders, down his biceps then around to his back, greedy to touch as much
of him as she could. Dante was the same, his hands roaming everywhere, not
content to settle on one part of her.
Finally, he pulled his mouth
free and lifted his face to the ceiling. His chest pressed against Lauren’s as
he gulped air.
She stared at his Adam’s apple,
transfixed at the way it bobbed with his hard swallow. The shadow of beard on
his throat was hotter than sin. Lauren licked those short dark hairs and
suckled his neck.
A lewd noise rumbled from
Dante, mingling with the music. The Spanish guitars were gone, replaced with a
sultry Cuban beat that spoke of tropical nights, fevered kisses and balmy air
scented with sex.
Lauren’s ears buzzed. She
pressed closer.
Dante whispered something in
Spanish that she didn’t understand. Didn’t matter. His actions spoke volumes.
He cupped her ass and pulled
her into his rock-hard cock that surely demanded a soft, heated pussy. The ends
of his hair brushed her neck as he trailed kisses from her cheek to her temple
then to her ear. After licking her lobe, he snuggled his tongue inside.
A shock of desire tore so
ruthlessly through Lauren she wilted against Dante, wanting every intimate and
carnal act that he’d be willing to share with her.
For now, he concentrated on her
throat, suckling it. Ohhhh. Bursts of
heat and crazy good sensations had her gasping in pleasure. Gripping his tee,
she twisted the stretchy fabric in her fists, wanting to tear it from him.
Dante pressed his mouth to her
ear and whispered, “You all right?”
Too lost in the moment to
speak, Lauren nodded.
“Good.” Far more swiftly than
she would have imagined, he pulled her away from the wall and slung her over
his shoulder.
Lauren yelped and gripped his
ass for support. His solid muscles flexed beneath her fingers. She let out a
crude, wanting moan.
Despite her weight, Dante
strode down the hall easily, heading toward the backroom. Visions of melting
Dove bars filled Lauren’s brain. She murmured, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” He ran his hand over
her ass, his thumb on her cleft. “Yet.”
Her pussy got even wetter. She
dropped her head and bit her lip at the sweet scent of his tee and the
fragrance of pure man beneath.
His steps slowed when he’d
reached his workstation. He carried her inside and kicked the door closed. The
sharp sound of metal hitting metal told her he’d locked it. With that finished,
he set Lauren on her feet.
Unsteady, she staggered back.
Dante gripped her wrist to keep her from falling.
She stared at him. He stared at
her. This was really happening. The thought was so welcome and outrageous the
room lurched.
Dizzy, Lauren lowered her face.
Dante stroked her wrist.
“You’re sure you’re okay.”
She’d never be that way again,
not after knowing him. Thankfully, she’d have some dynamite memories once this
was over, which it would be. Lying, Lauren nodded.
Dante released her wrist.
She felt the loss of his touch
and heat immediately, wanting it back. Lifting her chin, Lauren spoke in the
firmest voice she could muster. “I’m ready for anything.”
Bring. It. On.
“Oh yeah?” His smile turned
wolfish. “Get naked.”
