You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure.
Yet pleasure seems to be the one and only
thing on Charlize’s mind the moment Connor steamrolls into her life. Desperate
to save her family company, prove she’s more than a pretty face and worthy of
being CEO, pleasure is a distraction she can’t afford.
She doesn’t want a bodyguard, especially
not one whose caveman heroics kick her libido into hyperdrive. But surrounded
by enemies and an attacker on the loose, there’s only one man she can trust
with her life.
Connor knows better than to get personal
with clients. Yet there couldn’t be anything more personal about his feelings
for Charlize. From the moment he clapped eyes on her he wanted nothing more
than to throw her over his shoulder and really give her something to scream
about. He’ll get his uptight she-cat to unwind, preferably one orgasm at a
time.
With Connor in her office, her home,
driving her to sweet, merciless distraction, there’s only so long Charlize can
resist his sexy, dominant brand of protection.
“So
I guess you’ll be glad when this is all over and you can go back to running
Crowe Security instead of having to play boyfriend, huh?”
Something
dark and raw shifted over Connor’s features. His jaw hardened. The waitress
reappeared, balancing large plates of food. She set them down and Connor waited
until she moved away before he spoke again.
“Is
that what you think? That this is a game I’m playing to pass the time?”
Charlize
picked up her knife and fork and stared at the steaming brown mess on her plate.
A sharp pain tightened her chest at the idea she might be right, but a slow,
suffocating fear told her she might be wrong. “I have no idea what this is.”
The
plate disappeared from in front of her and her gaze snapped up. Connor moved
her dishes, silverware, napkin and glasses from the middle of the table to the
end against the wall. He looked at her from beneath hooded brows and reached
for her arm, urging her to move. The leather seat shuffled against her thighs
as she slid to the inside end of the booth. Connor sat down beside her and
reached an arm around her shoulders but not in a casual, romantic way. The
embrace pressed her to him, made her feel the heat of his skin, the hardness of
his body, but most of all he captured her, forced her attention on him.
“I
told you once, I don’t play games. I want you, Charlize, and I’ve only just
begun to have you. The sooner you figure that out and stop fighting me, the
sooner you can just enjoy it.”
Her
back remained straight and she managed not to lean against him. “It’s a bad
idea, Connor. I’m not the girl you want, at least not long-term.” She forced
her head to turn, forced herself to look him in the eye. “Aside from an obvious
appreciation for my ass, I’m not even sure why you want me at all.”
His
jaw and his gaze softened then he leaned in, put his mouth right next to her
ear. “Is that it, baby? You’re feeling insecure, need me to say some sweet shit
to make you feel better?” His hand moved under the table to her thigh, ran the
length of her knee to her groin, made responding to his question impossible.
“Fine, but I can’t promise I’ll be good at it,” he whispered.
He
cupped her, his thumb pressing through her jeans in exactly the right place.
She gasped, sucking in a mouthful of air that tasted of the peppery steam
rising from her plate.
“Yeah
I like more than your ass. I like the way you never give up, the way you never
give in.” His thumb moved, pushed the thick, hard seam stitched into the denim
between her legs. Using firm, shallow movements, he massaged her, taunting her
aching clit. “Except when it comes to this—when it comes to this you give me
everything.”
Her
breath hitched. She heard the words and they melted her insides. But it was his
fingers that commanded her.
“But
most of all, I like how you always try so damn hard.”

Ty is the one man to get under her skin
and send her mindless with desire. He’s also a spanner in her life that could
undo everything she's worked for. She wants him—but can a man like Ty handle
the kind of fantasies she has in mind?
