For the past six months, Jared’s been selling sex at Market Garden, a London club that caters to the better-off. But business is slow in the run-up to Christmas, when businessmen and bankers are too busy bickering over bonuses to rent themselves a little high-class action.

Though Jared’s wallet finds the downtime unnerving, the rest of him rather enjoys the opportunity it gives him to admire Tristan, an old hand in the club whose reputation usually sees him well-booked. Jared has been crushing on Tristan for months—he’s no more immune to Tristan’s cockiness and confidence than the johns, and those are just Tristan’s inner qualities.

Just as Jared’s about to chat Tristan up, a businessman asks for something a little different: he wants to book them both. They agree—and Jared finds himself going from crush to mind-bending lust as he’s made the pawn in a sexual power game. Tristan shows him how a pro handles a john while delivering the top-shelf sex for which the Market Garden is so rightly renowned.

I received this book from Riptide for my honest thoughts... So here we go... Oh wait.. First.... Let me say this again.... My only warning is that this is a m/m loving story. So, if this is not your cup of tea... You will not offend me. You can merely just drop by to say Hi! Thanks for coming over in advance!


For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review..


First, let me say that these are two amazing authors and to see them coming together to write this one hot, short story is a delicious treat! L.A. Witt knows how to make her men raw and passionate... Aleksandr know how to torture you and his men at the same time. Cleaver damn authors! They love killing you! Yes, that's love in my voice for these two. They are wicked, I'm telling you. Wicked to the core and with this short story. They will leave you feeling tingles and seeking your own Jared and Tristan, lol.

Jared and Tristan are rent boys and damn well worth every freaking penny you have to give and some you have to steal.. Hell, I'm willing to beg, barter and steal, to have these two on my bed! Yes, they are that hot together!

If you want a little afternoon delight, you must get this story! It is hot, wicked, even funny in some spots and even torturous! Well done you two!

Oh and if you want to see me beg, go search my twitter tweets because L.A. Witt teased me to death about more to come... I will spank her to death if her and Alek don't give me more of these two!! They deserve to each other - privately! ;)

************* OMG*************

I am so happy to say that there is another one in the making!!!

Review: Total Depravity by Cassidy Hunter *Ellora's Cave*

Total Depravity is out today with Ellora's Cave!

Bored with life, Natasha happens upon a sex auction house. She understands the danger of the place, but for the first time in forever, she feels alive. A vampire buys her, and he wants her fear—blood and sex aren’t his only sustenance. But when her fear isn’t enough to feed him, he gives her to his imprisoned wolf.

It’s with Richard the wolf that Natasha discovers things she’s never imagined. Things about life, herself and the reason there’s always been an unrelenting itch so deep inside her she could never reach it.

Suddenly Natasha knows true, honest fear…but more than that, she discovers the wildness within her.

I obtained the above information at Cassidy's website!

I received this book from Ellora's Cave for my honest thought and review... Here goes!

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

If you have visited my blog in the past, you know that I have read a few of Ms. Cassidy's book and I thoroughly enjoyed them... She does a great job at developing her the world she is going to put you in... She brings details out to make sure you feel surrounded by the words you are reading. She makes you feel enveloped in the passion. And she does the same in Total Depravity...

This is a short story but it is packed with so much emotion. Natasha's emotions roll off her and off the pages... She will saturate you with her depressed life... She will bring you the brink of non-exsistence but pull you out.

This is a great story with a lot of twist and turns... This story twist around and turns and brings you around... It will tempt you and tease you and surprise you.. Believe me, there is an ending I did not see coming. The vampires live on her fear... But the wolf... He lives on something all together different... 

There is one part of the story that left me kinda ew, but it was quickly done. But it did not take away from the story line nor leave a bad taste in my mouth for the story...

So over all, this story was very good and really interesting!! This story will definitely leave you Totally Deprived.  

And remember... Always keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

**Tour Wide Giveaway & Author Interview** w/Lila Munro *Goddess*

Ladies and Gents of the Lair.. I am please to have at the Lair, again... A wonderfully talented author... Please put together a warm welcome for...

Ms. Lila Murno  

We all know you are not a new to me author... But I hoping there is someone out there that has not seen your work... Because that means that we can share with them your awesome skills! So, let's see if we can share something about you that would intrigue them...

Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol!
Let’s see…I think I can come up with a few things. I was born and raised in central southern Missouri and graduated from a small rural school which housed K-12 in the same building. There were 52 in my graduating class and we were only the tenth class to graduate from there as there was no high school until 1977. Prior to that, high school students were bussed to one of two neighboring schools. I was a Girl Scout and it was discovered I read at an 11th grade level in the 5th grade, so you see books have always had a huge impact on me. I played clarinet for eight years, but didn’t pursue it through college as other pursuits took front and center. I was a journalism student to start with then changed majors at least half a dozen times before finally graduating with a baby in two and three degrees to include a B.S. in both psychology and sociology and an A.A. in English. I’ve never worked in any of my degree fields. Instead I married a Marine and have followed him all over the world and worked a mish-mash of odd jobs. They include, housekeeper, bank teller, convenience store clerk, seamstress, vendor, and writer of front page news for a small town paper. I have two grown children, my nest is empty, I corral two four-legged babies now, and I love caramel frappes, Crown Royal, bubble baths, and red velvet cake. J How did I do? Did anyone find any of that on Google?

Tell us a little about your book?
Assumed Calling is book five and the final installment in the Identity series and tells Allen Bourke’s story. Allen is an older character, fifty-six to be exact, and people seem quite fascinated at this fact. Apparently I didn’t read the rules of romance as prescribed by the institution and have broken one. J The joys of being a Rebel Ink Press writer! Our editors encourage originality and creativity and like to see us step outside the lines a bit.

How much emotion does it take from you to write?
It takes an extreme amount of emotional energy for me to write most days. In fact, Assumed Master and Assumed Calling were emotionally exhausting for me. I have a hypersensitive personality and feel things very deeply. Once I’m emotionally invested in a character it’s as though they are intertwined with me. I’ve cried, laughed, and wanted to throw things at times right alongside them.

What is your favorite part of the book?
Watching the transformation erupt between Allen and Nicki and how their relationship morphs from simply a service relationship to one of complete devotion. The pivotal point in the book is when Allen decides he’s had enough of just servicing Nicki and takes her, owning her in every way. It’s emotional, raw, and beautiful.

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters…what would they be?
Realistic, smart, passionate.

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why??
I wouldn’t really say any of my characters are hard to write as they come so easily to me generally, however, Nicki was difficult in the fact she had a lot of emotional baggage concerning her family. She took a lot of energy and she and I spent a lot of time crying together.

How many books are you shooting for in this series??
This is in fact book five and the last book in the Identity series. However, a few characters from True Identity, book two, spurred a spin-off series and the readers will get a sense of where that’s going exactly by the end of Assumed Calling. Kyle Montgomery has long tugged at my psyche and he’ll finally see his story come to fruition next summer.

What are you currently working on?
Currently I’m finishing up the third and final installment of my Slower Lower series, A Slower Lower Leap. I have a softer muse who writes characters not in the lifestyle. A lot of people don’t associate the two sides of my writing and in fact don’t know the other exists. It seems I have two sets of fans with only a few crossing over and reading everything I write. And that’s okay. J I like feeding two creative beasts, although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the naughty beast a bit more. I’m also working on book two of the Private Collection due out this spring and working on the first Steele Image book, Love Vindicated.

Do you have anything due to release soon?
A Slower Lower Leap will come out February 17 and Private Impropriety will release in April pending I stay on schedule.

What genres do you like to read?
I read a wide variety from contemporary to historical to military to BDSM to suspense. But I also read a wide variety of non-romance genres, women’s fiction, inspirational, mainstream fiction…you name it I’ve read it.

What do you hope readers take away after reading one of your books?
That happily ever afters aren’t just for romance books. They are entirely possible for anyone and in real life.

If you could collaborate with another author who would you like to write with?
I’ve already had the pleasure of collaborating with some very fine authors to include Christopher Craven, JA Lawson, JL Oiler, and Beth Ann Buehler. I’ll be working with some of them again in the next year or so.
 
What time of day do you prefer to write?
Afternoons. By that time all my administrative type duties are over for the day, I’ve typically been out for my walk, and I can just shut the world out for a while.

Do you have any little rituals you do before or during your writing process?
No, but if I get stuck I find bubble baths help. Another phenomenon as of late is my Doms interrupting my showers to tell me what’s going on with them. I finally told Kyle the other day if he was going to continue on this pattern I would very much like my back washed. :)

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah...

What is on your night stand/dresser?
What’s not there is a better question.  :) Okay, let’s see…night stand goodies include…Kindle, two paperback novels, alarm clock, a tube of Aveeno lotion, a charging station for my phone/Kindle/iPad, a notepad and pen, some lip balm, and a bottle of Advil. Too bad you didn’t ask what’s in the night stand… :) Okay, dresser items…jewelry, candle sconces (brown blown glass—my bedroom is done in chocolate and red), perfume, and three small trinket boxes my husband has collected for me from various corners of the world.

***Cecile makes mental note to ask THAT question next time, lol***

What are you listening to you right now?
WRNS. It’s a country station here on the coast and country is what my current characters listen to.

What are you reading right now?
By Royal Command by Laura Navarre. I love historical romance!

What is your favorite season? Holiday?
I’m particularly fond of fall but love Easter.

And what has been your best b-day present ever??
My husband actually being home for it. :) You see, he was born the same day and it’s also our anniversary so it’s a special day, but to date he’s been deployed for over half of our married years.

Do you prefer your man in Boxers or Briefs? Boxer briefs
Top or Bottom? bottom
Pj’s or nude? It depends of if we have company in residence ;)
Hairy chests or smooth? Hairy but not bushy J
Twitter and/or Facebook? Oh, neither. I find them both necessary evils, but I will say Twitter is definitely less dramatic.
Pinterest or not? Nope :)

Assumed Calling
by Lila Munro

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Like the beat of a primal drum whispering the rhythm of an ancient dance, the lifestyle calls…
At the seasoned age of fifty-six, Allen Bourke has resigned himself to the fact he’ll probably never find someone to top he can also love. While he’s had wives and lovers, none of them endured and he’s come to the conclusion the clock’s ticking and age is working against him. Then a very intriguing Nicki Cartwright pings on his radar at what Allen determines will be his last house party. He can’t help but notice while he and his friends are getting older, the players emerging on the scene are forever getting younger. Nicki's no exception. Determined to resist the vibes humming between them, he only agrees to service her after his old friend, Kyle Montgomery, convinces him it's entirely feasible. Then it’s brought to Allen’s attention who Nicki really is. Knowing their pasts are forever intertwined, as hard as he tries to ignore his heart, he finds himself yielding to the tides of fate.

Born to senatorial royalty, Nicki Cartwright has spent her entire life trying to shield her mother from her father’s wrath while drifting further and further into a world where panic is normal and anxiety is always on the edge of her reality. Tired of burning the candle at both ends and forever trying to live up to the picture of All-American perfection her father James Cartwright touts as his ace in the hole during election cycles, Nicki finds herself on the path of self-discovery in search of relief from the stressors continually swamping her mind. What she doesn’t expect is to find who she thought she was is truly just a shadow of the person she really is. And what scares her most is the fact Allen, the only person she thought she could trust, has been holding a secret since before she was born which could destroy her entire family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

“You jackass,” Nicki hissed, rising from her position and turning, shrugging the two men at her sides off, more spark in her eyes than Allen had ever seen. “You used me. I trusted you and you used me. It’s why you changed your mind about me isn’t it? And you were in on it, weren’t you Kyle? You two played me for a fool. For what? I don’t know anything about my father’s dealings. What did you think to gain from stringing me along?”

“No, doll. Neither of us knew who you were until you signed in at Steele Image that night. And I didn’t put two and two together until you told me who you were,” Allen tried to appease. A kernel of suspicion started to plant itself and he crushed it before it dug in too deeply. The fact that Kyle had all but pushed Allen into a relationship with Nicki was a pure stroke of chance he was going to have to come to terms with. Kyle couldn’t possibly have known what the result would be. “I know it’s seems too much to believe, but trust me. Everything has been one long series of coincidences.”

“You’re a liar,” she screamed.

“He’s not lying, Nicki,” Kyle told her, shooting her a glare which seemed to bank her fury. “I’ve known Allen for thirty years and I’ve never known the man to lie. He may have held secrets for that long or longer…” Kyle shot Allen a look that told him he wasn’t happy with the fact he didn’t know as much about his friend as he once thought he did. “But he’s never lied. Now if everyone could put their emotions to the side for a few minutes, we’ve got a lot to discuss. First of all, are we all in?”

Interview with Daniel Harding

Me: So today, I’m visiting with Daniel Harding, one of the two main characters from A Chip In His Shoulder and the brand new sequel, Something New Under the Sun. Daniel, it’s good to see you again.

Daniel: I’d say the feeling is mutual, but… no.

Me: Oh. Um. Okay, then. *cough* Tell us a little bit—

Daniel: Actually, I have a bit of a bone to pick with you.

Me: I see. *glances warily at camera* All right. Go ahead.

Daniel: *sitting back, folding his arms* So first you sent my ex-boyfriend to come and kill me.

Me: Well, technically that wasn’t me, that was—

Daniel: Whatever helps you sleep at night, lady. Anyway, so first you sent my ex to kill me. And I can kind of get over that because of how it ended, but still, that wasn’t cool. So after you did that, was it really necessary to for Liam’s newest mod to—

Me: SHHHH! No spoilers, you twit.

Daniel: *raising eyebrow* Twit? Really?

Me: Yeah. Can’t swear in an interview. And that goes for you too, just so you know.

Daniel: Well [censored] that.

Me: *exasperated sigh*  You know, I did let you and Liam get a little freakier in the sequel. Doesn’t that count for something?

Daniel: Of course it does. That’s the only reason I didn’t bring Liam with me.

Me: Oh. Did he, um, was he planning to come with you?

Daniel: Yes. And he wasn’t going to play nice, believe me.

Me: *gulps* I appreciate you leaving him at home.

Daniel: *narrowing eyes* I almost didn’t. I mean, seriously. In book 2, when you had my dad come along and—

Me: What did I just say about spoilers? Hmm?

Daniel: And what did I just say about bringing Liam along? Because I can still call him.

Me: No! Please don’t. No. No. Bad idea. No Liam.

Daniel: That’s what I thought. Now as I was saying, I know we put my dad in a corner, and he wanted to break out the big guns, but that was just low having him—

Me: Okay fine. Bring Liam in. No spoilers, damn it.

Daniel: …

Me: …

Door: *opens*

Liam: I think it’s time we have a little chat. *looks at camera* Turn that thing off.  I said turn it off. Now.

Cameraman: Hey! Hey! Leave my camera alone, you—

[Transmission Terminated]

L.A. Witt is an abnormal M/M romance writer currently living in the glamorous and ultra-futuristic metropolis of Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband, two cats, and a disembodied penguin brain that communicates with her telepathically. In addition to writing smut and disturbing the locals, L.A. is said to be working with the US government to perfect a genetic modification that will allow humans to survive indefinitely on Corn Pops and beef jerky. This is all a cover, though, as her primary leisure activity is hunting down her arch nemesis, erotica author Lauren Gallagher, who is also said to be lurking somewhere in Omaha.

L. A.’s backlist is available on her website, and updates (as well as random thoughts and the odd snarky comment) can be found on her blog or on Twitter (@GallagherWitt).

Book Description:

Stranded together, their passions will run wild.

Kara has a deep dislike for her boss, Max. She also wants him so badly it’s making her nuts. He’s a workaholic, a robot man. And he’s never shown the least bit of interest in her or anything else that wasn’t recorded in the corporate minutes. But when their plane crashes on the way to a meeting, leaving them stranded on a deserted island…just the two of them, all alone with all that ocean around them…Kara decides it’s time to start living. And by living, she means using Max for all the hot sex she’s been denied.

Max wants Kara—has wanted her for a long time. Unable to come out and cross the line between professional and personal, he makes her accompany him on business trips just to have her around. When they crash land and Kara shows him how much she wants him, he decides to quit being so professional and take the woman of his dreams. After all, what happens in the middle of nowhere, stays in the middle of nowhere. Until they’re rescued.

Back in the real world, things aren’t as easy. Kara is afraid to start a relationship with a man who completely ignored her until she took off her clothes, and Max is afraid she’ll never be able to trust him.

But when someone makes it clear that Kara’s in danger, Max has more to protect than Kara’s feelings. And now that he has her, he’s not about to let her go. 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Now for the interview... Let's have fun with Ms. April :)

Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol!
Since you are a new to me author, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!

I love to try new things. I tried making cakepops and did pretty good. I did scrapbooking for a while and still have a ton of supplies. I don't consider myself creative, but I love to see if I can do things that come so easily to others. I did a professional booty cake for a friend's birthday. Let's just say even I was impressed with how well that one turned out. LOL. I am a foodie and LOVE eating. Not so much the cooking but I'll bake the heck out of anything. lol. 

Tell us a little about your book?

Stranded Temptation is a Contemporary Erotic Romance. It's about this CEO and his head accountant. They have a tenuous relationship, so when their plane crashes on their way to south america, things turn upside down for them. Kara refuses to let any more time go to waste and takes matter into her own hands. The results are rather explosive.

How much emotion does it take from you to write?

for my romances, I have to have emotion. I can't write anything without feelings and I think sometimes it's harder especially when you have a main character with trust issues or insecurity. I feel for them and I want to make things better. It is why I write romance. I need to give them all a happily ever after.so my emotions definitely go into play and I have to feel emotionally connected to the actions/words before I can say it's ok. 

What is your favorite part of the book?

Probably the beginning and the end. I love starting fresh and seeing the story unravel in my mind. The end and all of it coming together makes it so awesome. I feel super accomplished when i finish. 

What was your favorite scene to write?

hehehe well...I do love the hot stuff. Sex does rock and I love writing it. But i think when they do the first kiss or when they talk emotion. I love gettin gushy and sappy. LOL. 

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*

Kara: Strong, Self-assured, Fighter.

Max: Focused, Determined, Sweet. 

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why?? I think Max was easiest because even though you saw one thing when the book started, as you went, you saw a different side to him. Kara was the same thing. i won't give away what it was about them that did it, but they each showed layers you didn't think were there.

How many books are you shooting for in this series??

This book is not part of a series, but I may go back and write books for the side characters, which I loved.

What are you currently working on?

I am currently writing wolf shifters as Milly Taiden. 

Do you have anything due to release soon?

Yes. I have Wynter's Captive (wolf shifters) set to release on 1/18 and Wicked Valentine as April Angel to release on 1/25. I'm very excited. January has started off with a bang.

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?

Creating my own versions of happily ever afters for my characters. I love playing matchmaker.

Since we're cover hussies....what was your first impression of your cover?

LOL. I like the cover. I'm in love with the guy they used. He's very hot. The colors are amazing and they did a great job creating something that makes me thing of the colors in an island sunset!

What do you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?

Both. To carry around definitely ebooks, but I'd love to have a bunch of paperbacks with my name on them :) 

Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try? probably YA. I have a tendency of getting hot and heavy without meaning to.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah...

If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?

Tissues, water bottle, phone.

What are you listening to you right now?

The lovely sound of my husband and son playing Black Ops 2 on the XBOX 360

What are you reading right now?

Breaking The Nexus by Lindsay Avalon (great book by a great indie author)

What is your favorite season? Holiday?

I love all holidays. I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day and always get everyone chocolates and flowers. I love christmas and the time to spend it with family and doing fun things like going to see the huge tree down at rock plaza. Holidays are fun when you do things that are enjoyable.

And what has been your best b-day present ever?? Best ever?

I think my first contract for Sharp Change (wolf shifters). I sat there and couldn't believe it said they wanted my book. It was awesome. The worst would have to be the one seven years ago. My father passed away three days before my birthday and I've never look at them the same again.

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...

You know you do... Quickie time... Think fast....

Are you a quickie kind girl? heck yes! Quickies can be delicious.
Dark or Milk Chocolate? Milk
Whipped or Melted? Whipped
Straight up or with a twist - sex? With a twist. Shock me.
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him? Let's have something on him and lick it off.
Spank or Flogger? Both! Spank me baby while I'm tied to the bed ;)
Junk or Health Food? I try to be good, but I fail miserably so a bit of both.
Ties or Chains? oooh both sound hot. Ties.

Excerpt:

Gentleness she’d never noticed before in Max was evident in his eyes. She watched him curl his large hand over her much smaller one. Her heart beat so loudly in her ears she feared he might hear it. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. Fire roared in her blood, and her breath hitched. He turned her hand over and brushed a warm, firm kiss over her palm while they stared at each other.

“I’d never put you in danger.” Deepened to rough gravel, the sound of his voice made her pussy throb and blood thicken in her veins.

Somehow she knew what he said was the truth. “Kiss me, Max.”

The words were barely out of her lips when he dragged her onto his lap and their lips met in desperation. Her arms twined around his neck. Pulling him closer, she brought her chest flush to his. Heat took over every cell of her body. His kiss devoured her. Lord, the man was a kissing god. With soft strokes of his tongue, he caressed the inside of her mouth. Whimpering in the back of her throat, she moved restlessly on his lap. The long, steel length of his cock was poking at her ass. He glided his hands under her top, making her belly flesh quiver. When his warm hands touched her skin, desire increased inside her tenfold. Breaths turned to pants. Her body thrummed with arousal. She tuned everything but the sight of him out of her mind.

She pulled back and smiled. “I want you, Max.”

He frowned and took a deep breath. “Kara, you’re in shock—”

Determined, she shook her head and cut him off. “No, Max. I’m alive.”

She smiled again and pulled off her top. Her bra was now the only barrier between her breasts and his hands. Swollen into tight points, the peaks of her nipples called for his touch under the satiny material. A combination of lust, hunger, and desperation flared in his eyes. His usually light gray eyes darkened to that of a murky, stormy day.

“Fuck, Kara. I want you too, but I don’t have condoms.”

Air fought its way into her lungs. “I’m clean and on birth control.”

He continued to frown. “I’m clean too, but are you sure?”

In a smooth move worthy of any professional stripper, her hand reached behind her back, unsnapped her bra, and pulled it off. “Fuck me, Max. I want you inside me, right now.”

His hands curled around her head and held her immobile. Raw hunger made her body shudder. Their kiss turned into a greedy need to consume each other. Moisture gathered in her pussy, and an incessant throbbing took hold between her thighs. In a frantic mating, their tongues danced, rubbed, and curled over each other until passion overrode all else. Blind lust shot through her when she rocked her hips over his hard cock.

He kissed wet trails from her jaw to her breasts until he was sucking on one of her erect nipples. Her pussy clenched when he enveloped her breast with his firm lips. Soaked in her cream, her thong became a new point of friction on her swollen pussy lips. She tore at his shirt. A wanton urgency took hold of her and guided her actions. To feel his skin on hers became her only mission.

When he helped her take the shirt off, she splayed her hands over his bulging shoulders and sighed. When his warm muscles contracted, she groaned. He was a work of art. His chest was corded with muscles and bronzed to perfection. Just looking at him made her pant. Whimpers rushed past her lips when his teeth grazed her turgid nipple.

“Oh, yes. Do that again.”

Again, he sucked and then nipped at the tight bud. She moaned and pushed her chest further into his face. He released her nipple from his lips and rolled the wet tip between his finger and thumb, tweaking the sensitive flesh while his mouth latched onto the other one for a taste. She dug her nails into his shoulders, holding him in her grip while rocking her hips over his cock. Movement made her open her eyes. Max had made the seat flatten back so that it was the size of a double bed.

A smile curled her lips when she gazed into his almost-black eyes. He motioned for her to stand. Once she did, he moved his hands to her white pants and slowly pulled the linen material, along with her thong, down her legs. With every inch of skin he exposed, he placed a kiss on a body part. First it was her stomach. Then it was her hip when he lowered the material down her legs. Her knee came next and finally her calf. Afterward he kissed his way back up to her stomach. She groaned and stood in place. He licked circles on her stomach and around her belly button. He caressed her breasts, down the sides of her breasts to her waist, and squeezed the flare of her hips. She took a choppy breath. He fluttered his fingertips down from her hips toward her core, and she bit her lip to keep from moaning. When he massaged her thighs, she was ready to beg him to touch her. Before she had a chance to, he moved a hand between her legs and dipped his fingers between her waxed pussy lips.

He groaned. “Fuck, Kara. You’re so hot and wet. Is that for me, baby?”

“God, yes. Just for you.” She moaned.

Each dip of his fingers into her wet sex made her whimper louder.

He stood, and she had to tilt her head back to look him in the eye. His eyes were sexy, stormy. He put his arms around her waist and held her tight to him. Their hearts beat in a furious, identical gallop. He switched their positions and pushed her to lie on the bed.
