Insert from story "You have kind eyes." He said, holding my gaze. "You look innocent." That was on purpose. "Are you ever going to tell me your name?" He asked as he started to clean my foot. "I already did. It's Heather." "Heather." He said, keeping his voice even. "Yes, Heather Dean." He just chuckled, like he didn't believe me. "Why do I get the impression that you think I'm lying?" I asked. "Because of how you respond every time I called you that." Oh...Crap, that wasn't good. "You haven't shared your name either." I pointed out. "I'm waiting." He answered simply. "For what?" "For you to tell me the truth." He looked back up at me. "It only seems fair right?" "It would only seem fair if I was lying." He looked at me for awhile before saying, "So, you're going to stick to that story, huh? All right. Well, when you're ready to be honest, I'll share my name." He had a point but....I still needed to be careful. Yes, he had been kind but that still wasn't reason enough for me to trust him just yet.Complete
Rekindling Old Flames (BWWM)
"I need to teach you a lesson for defying me," Beau says, and in an instant, my leg on his thigh drops down beside his. He puts his other hand on my waist and lifts me off my chair. I land perfectly on him, and my eyes widen once I feel him against me. "Yes, darlin, you are the reason for it, and you are going to satisfy it tonight." "I'll do no such thing," "Oh, you will, and you are going to enjoy it" He places a kiss against my shoulder, and my eyes close as he begins to grind me against him. A moan escapes my lips, but Beau spanks my ass hard the second it does. "Don't moan out, darlin. You don't want anyone to hear us," he says, putting his hand into my dress and caressing my ass he spanked. "Do you?" he asks, kissing my neck and burying his head in my chest. I shake quietly as pleasure surges through my body from his hand and mouth on me. "Good girl" He begins to grind my hips faster against his hard length. ****** Delilah Stephen is a young architect trying to make it independently without Daddy's help.

You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Join the journey of Izzy as she is locked up left and forgotten by her mate. Love may or may not be in her future, but in the end she will refuse to be forgotten. Sneak peek: That's when I smelled him. He smelled like a caramel latte and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies all rolled into one. My mate had the most beautiful body you could ever imagine. He had lean muscles from head to toe. I tried to keep my eyes above his waist line but I could not bring myself to look into his eyes. I have been trained to keep my eyes on the ground, and as I lowered my eyes to look at the grass, I caught a glimpse of what he had to offer below. A breath caught in my throat, as all I can think is "How will all of that fit in me?" It was both long and thick and I am so small. I wanted to cry in that moment. He finally spoke and said only one word in a deep husky voice. "MINE!" I melted at the word and shakily responded with only one word myself. "Yours!"Complete
