Shaken and Stirred with a splash of dirty.
Drew McKenna is obsessed with the woman who saved his family’s business. She’s the last woman he should want, but his dreams are flooded with the sultry, sexy woman who gets under his skin. He’d not prepared to end their lengthy riff just so he can give into his desire to have the gorgeous woman under him.
But she is the one he needs…
Glory Pierce gave up on Drew the second he flung vicious insults her way. The harder she tries to forget how deep those scars run, however, the more he invades her thoughts. When tragedy strikes, Glory is forced to put aside her anger and work with the man she despises. But as they mix business with pleasure, the heat between them reaches fever pitch, secrets are revealed, and passions are stirred up in ways neither of them can ignore.
Excerpt:
“I wish you saw
yourself as I do. Vibrant, sexy, magnetic. Feisty, while humble and kind.
You’re a class act, Glory Pierce.”
The words washed
over her, crowding within her heart and soul. Her body warmed surrounded by
them. But, in the back of her mind, doubt nagged at her. “Pretty words, Drew.
Practice them much?”
“Damn it, woman.”
He snarled, crunching the empty bottle in his hand. Her eyes widened, and
watched as he inhaled a few harsh breaths. “I’m sorry for that. It’s just—” he
shifted in the chair. Gone was the heat, and replaced with perplexed confusion.
“I’m being as honest as I can be. I understand it will take time for you to
trust me, and I’ll work for it, but don’t shut me out. Can’t we start again?”
The idea was so
absurd, she wanted to laugh, but refrained from losing her cool. “As though we
haven’t known each other for years? How does that work? We’re too acquainted
with one another to pretend otherwise.”
He nodded. “I
agree, but I mean as far as spending time together. Some real time. We’ve never
had the chance to do that.”
It took every bit
of restraint to keep her jaw from falling into her lap. “You mean … dating?”
She’d die of more embarrassment if she’d presumed too much.
“Yes.”
Glory couldn’t
help it, she laughed out loud. How preposterous. Tears gathered in the corners
of her eyes as she tried to control her giggles. “Oh, my gosh.” She cleared her
throat, reining herself in. “Drew, I don’t need your pity dates or trying to
make up for anything.” She stood and refilled the empty bottle with water from
the cooler in the corner. Once full, she turned and leaned against the counter.
“I’m sure you mean well, but come on, as if you want to date me.”
She had to tip her
head back, shocked, as he was on his feet and across the kitchen standing in
front of her before she had time to blink. His lean body boxed her in, his arms
barricading her in on each side.
“I think I’ve said
a few times how attracted I am to you, Glory. And I suspect the feeling is
mutual.” He crowded in closer, head dipping low to her right ear. “I’ve had a
hard dick for months just picturing you naked. Should I give you the details of
my dreams? The things we’ve done together might make you blush.” His breath
brushed long the curve of her neck, sending shivers along her spine and over
her ass. Grateful for the counter against her back, or she’d have fallen flat
on her ass and taken him with her, she latched onto the lifeline.
Not a bad idea. I’d be game for that.
Glory groaned, but
leaned away from him until his breath no longer seduced her. “Oh, you’re good.
I’ll give you that. Quite skilled in fact. But making my pussy tingle with
horny words won’t get you into my panties, Drew.”
“Your pussy’s
tingling?”
With a growl, she
shoved him away and glared at him. “Oh, for heaven’s sake.”
The bastard had
the audacity to laugh. “I’m sorry. But Christ, saying shit like that won’t help
the hard on, ya know.”
Glory’s gaze
dropped to the front of his shorts. Yep, present and accounted for, she could
see the outline of his hard dick. She took a sip of her water.
“Stop that.
Staring at it doesn’t help either. If you don’t want me to pounce on you, you
have to quit it.”
Oh, we want him to pounce, don’t we? Why don’t we lie
on the floor right here and spread our legs?
The voice in her
head had her choking on the water halfway down her throat. Her eyes watered as
she tried to control a coughing fit.
“Are you okay?”
She held a hand
up, keeping him at bay. If he touched her now, she’d crumple, unable to resist
him. Her conscience was a menace, but definitely right. If Drew pounced, she’d
never stop him.
“Better?”
“Yes.” After a
quick glance at the clock on the stove, she cleared her throat. “I have a few
calls to make and paperwork for Alan to do. I think we’re done here, Drew.” He
stared at her, unmoving, and she shifted on her feet. “Look, I get it, you want
to make amends and think you’re attracted to me. But I don’t believe it. I’m
sorry. I don’t trust you.” He couldn’t expect much else from her. Not when he’d
never given her any reason to think of him as more than a bad memory.
“Cards on the table?”
he asked, as he advanced on her. “Complete honesty?”
“Uh, haven’t we
been doing that?”
“I have, but I
need you to be all in, too.” He stopped in front of her, his tasteful cologne
wafting her way. Why did he always smell so fucking good? “Do you want me,
Glory?”
A gasp escaped
her. His unwavering gaze held her captive. She didn’t want to do this.
“I have to earn
your trust, and I plan to, but you have to give me hope. Something to hold on
to as I prove it.”
“Drew,” she
sighed.
“Be honest with
me, please. If you tell me to walk away, I will. If you say you want me, and
that there’s something more between us, then I’ll hold on so fucking tight.” He
sighed as his fingers brushed her cheek. “So tight, babe, you’ll be mine
completely. But I need to hear it from you.”
God, his voice,
low and raspy... Glory swallowed hard as her skin warmed and her nipples
pebbled. Damn him. Dare she trust him with so much? He’d given her nothing but
heartache and chaos for so long. Sure, he had a lot to make up for, but she’d
never make any man sit up and beg. The memories haunted her, but she understood
he hadn’t been in control that night. She should’ve handled things better.
Called Eric. Locked herself in the bathroom. Stayed up until morning at Abe’s
Diner. But she hadn’t done a thing to stop him when he’d touched her. Hadn’t
wanted to. It wasn’t fair to put total blame on him. His words the next morning
had gutted her, yes, but shouldn’t she forgive him because he’d woken up off-kilter
and uncertain?
Glory opened her
mouth, only to snap it shut as the doorbell chimed.
“Shit. Are you
expecting someone? Never mind, answer me first.” Drew rubbed her shoulders.
“Please.”
The chime sounded
again. Glory pushed his hands away. “I have to get that.” She strode across the
kitchen, then halted. Before she changed her mind, she gripped the doorjamb and
turned back. “As much as I wish otherwise, I do want you, Drew. More than I should. And more than is smart.”
