Prelude to a Fantasy: Prequel to Harmless Book 8 (5 page)

"And you remember too. You remember watching
me tie Sherry down, don't you? The way she happily would do
anything I told her. You liked to watch when she sucked me
off."

Rory’s voice deepened over every word and
Zeke had to take a bracing breath to control his need. His body was
throbbing and his cock was so hard he probably wouldn't be able to
walk straight. Rory was one of the best at talking sex.

Rory walked toward him. Anticipation skated
along his nerves. Zeke licked his lips. Instead of approaching him,
though, Rory veered off toward the door.

"You think of that when you tell me you
don't want to share her."

And with that he left Zeke, the door
silently clicking behind him.

Even with the AC on full blast, Zeke felt a
small dribble of sweat slink down his back. He closed his eyes
trying to calm the heat dancing over his nerve endings. Damn. The
man could always control him.

It had always been like that from the
beginning and Zeke had allowed it. Rory had his control issues
because of his childhood and Zeke could handle it. They weren't Dom
and sub. Zeke was truthful about that when he told Maura. And
weirdly for Rory, he only liked to Dominate women. Of course, it
fed into Zeke's need to watch. There was something about watching
Rory work over a sub. With the right sub, Rory could send Zeke over
the edge. And Maura would be perfect.

She was the right combination of sexy,
smarts and submissive. He remembered the first day he met her.
Never in his life did he have a reaction like that to a woman. She
had smiled at him, her eyes sparkling from behind her glasses and
his tongue had stuck to the top of his mouth. He actually
stuttered. The only other person who had made him lose the ability
to speak had been Rory.

It was inevitable that they get involved.
Their arguing had only been foreplay to the bedroom. The sex had
been wonderful, stellar. Still, he knew Maura had wanted—needed
more. Something he couldn't give her.

But Rory
could
.

The naughty thought whispered through Zeke
and he shivered. He wanted it more than he wanted his next breath.
He wished life was as easier, then he could have both of them. The
need he had for both of them scared the shit out of Zeke. It almost
overwhelmed him at times. He could give into the suggestion, but he
wasn’t too sure he would come out unscathed. He also had to think
of Maura. He and Rory would still be together, and she would be
left alone.

He just didn't think he could do that, no
matter how much he wanted her. Needed her. He loved her too much to
take advantage of her. And wasn’t that just a bitch.

With a sigh, he turned his attention back to
work. Zeke had learned a long time ago that life didn’t always work
out the way you wanted it to.

About
Melissa Schroeder

From an early age, Melissa loved to
read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her
two favorites, 
Winnie the Pooh
 and
the 
Beatrix Potter 
books. She cut her preteen
teeth on 
Trixie Belden
 and read and
reviewed 
To Kill a Mockingbird
in middle school. It
wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first
stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun
to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found
romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since the publication of her first book in
2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes
in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to
futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the
bestselling 
Harmless
series
. In 2011, Melissa branched out into
self-publishing with 
A
Little Harmless Submission
 and the popular military
spinoff, 
Infatuation:
A Little Harmless Military Romance
. Along the way she
has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s
recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, over twelve
nominations for AAD Bookies and regularly tops the bestseller lists
on 
Amazon, All Romance Ebooks
 and
Barnes &
Noble
.

Since she spent her childhood as a military
brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know,
Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF major and is
raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days
giving in to her addiction to 
Twitter
, counting down the days until her hubby
retires, and cursing the military for always sticking them in a
location that is filled with bugs big enough to eat her
children.
