Authors: Tia Louise
“Are you cold?” He breathes against my skin, tracing a burning trail to my ear. He pulls the top between his lips, and my insides clench.
When I reach the bottom button of his shirt, I slide my hands down the front of his pants between us. “I’m ready to know you better.”
Stepping back, he loosens and removes his tie, tossing it on the table. His shirt is open and untucked, and his lined chest makes my mouth water. Eyes dark, he returns to me and pushes my sleeve down my shoulder. I shrug it off and allow him to unfasten my bra.
“Mmm,” he rumbles, cupping my breast and rolling my nipple between his fingers. “You are a naughty girl.”
“I think I’m a lucky girl.” My voice cracks with desire as he pulls the dark bud between his lips giving it a hard suck that shoots electricity straight between my legs. More wetness. God, this is going to be good.
“I think I’m the lucky one.” He kisses back up to my neck, scuffing my skin in a delicious way.
I’ve managed to get his pants unfastened, and I slide one hand down his cock, curling my fingers around it.
Damn, it’s thick
. “Why don’t you get lucky then?”
A rustle of pockets, and I help him open the foil wrapper. Our mouths reunite, and I push my breasts against him as he slides on the condom. Light chest hair tingles my nipples, and I’m heady with lust, anticipating the feel of him stretching me. Large hands return to my ass. I hold my breath a moment before he moves my thong and pushes inside.
“Oh,” I exhale at the same time he mutters a “Fuck me.”
Marcus lifts me off the seat and thrusts harder, going deeper. My legs are around his waist, and I arch so our moving bodies massage my clit. If we were controlled before, we’ve given in to flat-out carnal enjoyment now. It’s crazy and reckless and wild.
He slams my back against the wall, and he’s hitting me hard, rocking us both in perfect rhythm. Sizzling electricity vibrates my veins and pleasure snakes up my thighs.
Here it comes
, my mind whispers. “Oh, god,” I gasp as my orgasm grows hotter with each thrust.
“Harder,” I beg, and he complies. Again and again, he pushes into me until he groans in my ear. He’s coming, and the noise of his climax pushes me over the edge. All at once the tidal wave bursts, flooding me with ecstasy.
“Oh, yes!” I cry as the orgasm quivers in my thighs. It’s one of the best I’ve had in a while.
“God, you feel good,” he groans against my neck, giving me two more deep thrusts as I ride out the aftershocks of pleasure, my insides tensing around his cock.
A few more movements, and we’re on the way down. He’s still holding me securely in his strong arms and I like the way he feels.
My insides immediately recoil at that thought. “To the bride and groom,” I laugh, pushing against his shoulders.
He eases back, holding the condom as he pulls out, lowering me to my feet. I avoid his eyes as I straighten my top. Protection trashed, he fastens his pants as I straighten my thong and grab my clutch. I don’t have time to mess around. I’ve got to get the fuck out of here now.
“I’d like to have you for breakfast,” he says, turning to me with a cocky smile. I’m annoyed that it thrills my insides.
“Tempting.” I give him a wink.
“Are you staying in the hotel? I’m on the tenth floor.”
“I’m actually here with my mother. She’s at a B&B, so I need to be sure she has a way home.”
I’ve made it to the exit, vodka bottle and glasses forgotten. He follows me into the ballroom and pauses. “Check on her. I’ll head up and order us some wine. See you in a few?”
“Sure.” Stepping forward, I kiss his cheek. He captures my lips briefly, and I curse the damn flutter in my stomach.
“Room ten-sixteen.” He holds my eyes then. His are deep hazel-green, and I refuse to acknowledge they’re damn sexy. He is a
random
.
“Ten-sixteen,” I nod. “Got it.”
He heads toward the lobby, and I only briefly hesitate before turning on my heel and making my way to where Sylvia stands chatting with Stuart and Mariska. I’ll meet them, say goodnight, and get back to the B&B. In the morning we’ll be gone. No shitting where I live.
Surprises are nice, but my second favorite thing? Running.

(Derek & Melissa)
Derek Alexander is a retired Marine, ex-cop, and the top investigator in his field. Melissa Jones is a small-town girl trying to escape her troubled past.
When the two intersect in a bar in Arizona, their sexual chemistry is off the charts. But what is revealed during their "one week stand" only complicates matters.
Because she'll do everything in her power to get away from the past, but he'll do everything he can to hold her.

(Derek & Melissa)
When Sloan Reynolds beats criminal charges, Melissa Jones stops believing her wealthy, connected ex-husband will ever pay for what he did to her.
Derek Alexander can’t accept that—a tiny silver scar won't let him forget, and as a leader in the security business, he is determined to get the man who hurt his fiancée.
Then the body of a former call girl turns up dead. She’s the breakthrough Derek’s been waiting for, the link to Sloan’s sordid past he needs. But as usual, legal paths to justice have been covered up or erased.
Derek’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect his family when his partner Patrick Knight devises a plan that changes everything.
It’s a plan that involves breaking rules and taking a walk on the dark side. It goes against everything on which Alexander-Knight, LLC, is based.
And it’s a plan Derek’s more than ready to follow.

(Patrick & Elaine)
There’s a new guy in town...
“Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done. And I did...”
Patrick doesn’t do “nice.”
At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight—and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.
Patrick’s ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind, the skeletons from his past life start coming back.

Some threats come at you as friendly fire.
Some threats take away everything.

(Amy & Marcus)
Amy Knight, meet Marcus Merritt.
Patrick’s ambitious, over-achieving little sister has just landed an interview with one of the top law firms in Chicago. The only problem is the sexy, high-powered attorney interviewing her is the same green-eyed player she hooked up with after a certain wedding in Wilmington.
He’s also Elaine’s older brother.
Is this even legal?!
Complications everywhere, and the more they run, the less they’re sure who’s chasing whom.
Coming June 25, 2015!

ne to Chase
(Marcus + Amy)
© TLM Productions, 2015
Marcus
Amalie Knight.
Amy.
The girl from the wedding.
What are the chances?
I guess the chances are pretty damn good, considering our families are connected. She’s just back from Paris, and she’s living in Chicago. God, she was so fucking gorgeous walking in here, just as sexy as that night at the bar when she called me an old man. It still makes me chuckle. Old man. Baby.
Picking up my phone, I look at the little red indicator saying I have a text. Sliding my finger across the face, I stare at her number and without hesitation save it to my contacts. I don’t need to read her resume to know she’s good at what she does. She walked in here in that silver business suit looking as fierce as her older brother Stuart when we faced the prosecutor.
She’s smart, and she’s fucking gorgeous. Every detail of that night in Wilmington had raced to the front of my brain. I had to divert my eyes when she crossed her long legs. I barely even heard her words for fighting the memory of them wrapped around my waist.
Amy Knight. She left me hanging at that hotel in Wilmington, but perhaps we can revisit what happened between us. In the meantime, I’ll check with Paul and Chris. Perhaps it’s time Merritt, Hampton, and Donnelly revisited our corporate marketing plan.
Shaking my computer awake, I flip over to the firm’s website. Looks pretty dated. Maybe we should add a short interview section with the founding partner, meaning me. Perhaps we need a slogan.
