Baller: A Bad Boy Romance (56 page)

DAX

YOU CAN’T SPEND YOUR LIFE AMONG ANIMALS WITHOUT BECOMING ONE

DAX

There is no room for the weak. Jayna didn’t summon me into her life, but I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere.

She gave me one hell of a ride, and now I can’t get her curves off my mind.

But when the demons in my life went after her, something in me snapped.

I’m putting them all in the ground.

And then I’m putting a ring on her finger.

A kid in her belly.

And making her mine.

JAYNA

I didn’t have to help him, but I did, and now he thinks he owns me.

Maybe that’s what I wanted all along: to be owned. Devoured.

His savagery should have him in a cage, but his command of my body is something more primitive than I can understand

And when he pierces me with his eyes.

His scarred, muscular body crushing against mine.

I can’t help hearing his words, rumbling in my ear:

“MINE”

XANDER

XANDER

On these streets, my word is law. The last thing I need is a woman to look after.

Until Johanna.

She was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and left me aching so hard for release that once wasn't enough.

She didn't invite me in, didn't ask for my protection.

But she better wise up and understand:

Better that she's protected by a monster like me.

Than left at the mercy of savages who want to make her bleed.

JOHANNA

His chiseled, tattooed body can’t hide his ruthless ways

I didn’t ask for Xander to protect me. Not now. Not ever.

But that didn’t stop him from pinning me, taking me from one climax to the next.

He frightens me.

Excites me

And when he stares at me....

I forget that he’s a criminal, that he’s dangerous.

I forget that his hands are stained with blood.

I forget that I'm not supposed to trust him.

BEAST

SCARS AND TATS ARE PART OF THE GAME, AND HE’S PLAYING TO WIN

SHAYNA

This wasn’t my plan.

I’m in a mess that I didn’t ask for. Owe a favor to a man who thinks he owns me.

Now I know what it’s like to be someone’s favorite possession.

A plaything for his enjoyment.

And when he stares at me with those wild eyes....

I feel his rough hands racing all over my body.

His scarred body pinned against my own.

And no way to stop hearing the words rumbling against my ear:

“You’re mine. And I’m never letting go.”

BEAST

Taking control is what I do, and I’m damn good at it.

But Shayna is something else.

A spitfire with the face of an angel .

She tempts the animal I keep locked inside.

Calls him to the surface. Begs him to break his cage.

To lose control.

I don’t intend to lose control now.

Not until she screams my name.

Not until I make her MINE

Hey everyone! 

I am an avid reader and writer of contemporary romance, and I love writing fantastic stories for you guys every single day! I am a stay at home mother of 3, and not a day goes by that I don't write something steamy just for you, though finding the time can often be tough. 

And here is a summary of the short:

A Harley can make heartbreak a little easier...

Norma Bennett's ex was a scumbag. Trashy. Loud. Overbearing. And it had taken her too long to see it. Now, angry and wronged, she's tossing back shots at the local pub looking like a wild child that no man wanted to handle.

Except one.

She's not drunk, but when Joey Emerson steps up to the bar, his towering height and cool gaze leave her positively intoxicated. But with the way he's looking at her, Norma isn't sure if he wants to tear her clothes off or tuck her in - either way, something in her stormy heart cracks, and she thinks she may have found what she's been looking for...
