Up in Flames (5 page)

“Baby, we’re going to spend this weekend getting to know one another. I have a yacht we can take out to the middle of nowhere, just you and me. We already know the sex between us is dynamite, but that’s not the only thing two people should have.”

Rachel remained quiet, a little surprised by what he was saying. She hoped she was reading it right because it sounded like James wanted a relationship with her. “What if we don’t like what we discover? We just, ah, continue with the dynamite sex?”

“You wouldn’t like that, honey. When I’m with a woman, she is the only woman I am with. A strictly sexual relationship leaves the door open for, ah, indiscretions. And I doubt you’ll enjoy sharing me anymore than I would enjoy sharing you.”

“Oh.”

“Oh.” He kissed Rachel on the nose. “So what do you say we get a shower, a quick bite to eat, and head down to the marina?”

“I think I’d like to get to know you.”

“Good.” James rolled off Rachel and got to his feet.

Her eyes ate him up. She couldn’t believe he was finally hers. And it appeared he wanted her and not just her body. Happiness filled Rachel. She accepted the hand he offered her and let him pull her to her feet. His gaze roamed down her body and back up again just as she had done. The next thing she knew he reached forward, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her up against him.

“You have a damn beautiful body. I get aroused just looking at it.”

“You’re not so bad yourself,” Rachel said. “I have a question, James--what happens if we don’t like what we discover about each other?”

He didn’t even hesitate. “Then we start over, honey. I don’t give up that easy.”

Rachel liked the sound of that. When he lowered his face, she opened her mouth in anticipation of his kiss. His mouth moved against hers firmly, coaxingly, passionately.

Promising tomorrow and maybe beyond.

A Perfect Fit – 1/05/2013

Marissa Lambert is furious with her agent for hiring a security agency to protect her. The last thing she needs is some Texas cowboy following her around, and telling her what to do. Just because two plus-sized models have turned up dead in a month doesn’t mean she’s at risk. And besides, she can take care of herself.

Beau Evans owns and operates Evans Security, and he’s the unlucky one who gets to babysit the beautiful Marissa. The moment he watches her strut her stuff down the runway, in a revealing corset that hugs her generous assets, he gets an itch that doesn’t go away. Their first encounter ends with an angry exchange and a battle of strong wills, but once they succumb to the lust in their blood there’s no turning back.
