April Fools' Day is also the release day for All In: Playing the Fool! Today is also the start of the A to Z blog challenge and I promise not to blatantly self-promote in my Toys & Technique daily blog posts!
But for now ....
Here's the link to the Rafflecopter giveaway!
WARNING: THIS BOOK IS FOR 18+ ONLY DUE TO THE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT SCENES (M/F, M/F/M, M/M) AND ADULT LANGUAGE.
Will Reavis is the last man standing. All of his lifelong friends are settling down, and seem nauseatingly happy with their significant others. Even his little sister Jules recently married, taking off with Will’s best friend.
While Dylan and Jules are away on their honeymoon, they leave their penthouse apartment and expensive vehicles in Will’s care. After a night on the town with his new wingman, criminal defense attorney Joe Montgomery, Will meets the woman of his dreams.
Knowing a beautiful woman like Lacy would never go for a normal, nothing-special guy like him for more than a one-night stand, Will let’s her believe that all of Dylan’s riches are his own.
Lacy Pierce is newly single and not looking to settle down anytime soon. Why would she do something so foolish, when she knows how things always end? Her own father had affairs on her mother, and her famous football playing ex-boyfriend Zack Bradford cheated on her repeatedly during the year they were together.
Will seems like Zack’s opposite, and even better, he looks … safe. When she finds out the cute, unassuming, intelligent guy is actually the first man that can show her the wild passion she’s been missing out on, she reconsiders her no commitment rule. That is until she finds out Will has lied to her, and only sees her as a one-night fling.
Fate eventually steps in to bring the two back together.
When Lacy agrees to help out in her father’s law firm during the summer, she has no idea that the young attorney she’ll be working for is none other than Joe Montgomery, Will’s good friend. She’s also surprised to find out that Will is actually the IT guy for her father’s firm, when their paths cross once again.
After Lacy and Will get hot and heavy in public one night, they not only end up with criminal charges, Lacy’s father puts an end to idea of them continuing a relationship. He threatens to have Will, Joe, and Will’s friend and Joe’s assistant, Jess, all fired.
Unwilling to risk the consequences, Lacy tries to stop thinking about Will. Her hot new boss makes for a pretty nice distraction, and the two pass the time teasing and flirting with each other. Things begin to get complicated with Lacy and Joe, especially when it becomes clear that her and Will aren’t over.
Will does a little soul-searching and decides that he’ll do whatever it takes to have the woman of his dreams … even if that means indulging in some of her naughtier fantasies! But all relationships are fragile, and when Lacy finds out that the only two men she’s ever trusted have both conspired to betray her, it’ll take a tragedy to help her see that the ones we love occasionally deserve our forgiveness. Lacy will also find out the hard way that her wild and foolish decisions will eventually catch up with her, impacting all the men in her life.

Sneak peek from All In: Playing the Fool
We're just one week away from the release of All In: Playing the Fool! To celebrate, here's a sneak peek...
Chapter Two Lacy
I stepped out of the elevator and almost talked myself out of this again. No, damn it! I've come this far, remembering the code Will entered Friday night to get up to his penthouse. This was for the other half of my favorite earrings, a birthday present from my grandma, which also just happened to be a good excuse to see him again. But what if he doesn't want to see you? The bitch in my head asked. Well, then, I'll get my earring and be on my way. Taking a deep breath I finally stepped forward, knocked on the door and waited. I sure as hell wasn't expecting a pretty brunette to open the door...in pajamas. She looked just as surprised to see me on the other side. "Hi, um, can I help you?" she asked with a frown.I froze. I hadn't prepared for this scenario. "No, that's okay. I can see Will's busy," I replied, as I took a step backwards toward the elevator. "Will?" the young woman asked with a furrowed brow. "He's not here. Did you want to leave a message for him, or do you want me to tell him you stopped by?" She didn't sound jealous, so maybe she wasn't a woman he was seeing. Upon closer inspection, she actually looked like Will. Same mocha colored hair and lime green eyes. "Are you his sister?" She smiled. "Yeah, that obvious, huh?""Yeah. Um, I was just wondering if he maybe found my other diamond earring. I think I lost it here Friday night." "Oh. Well, he didn't say anything about it, but come on in and we'll look for it." I heaved a sigh of relief, grateful that she was so nice and willing to help me find it. "Thanks." "Chance it's in the living room?" she asked, and I shook my head. "No, we were only in the, ah, hot tub and bed," I admitted, as my face and hers both turned red. "Right," she said, and started toward the bedroom. "Dylan? Are you dressed?" she called out."Yeah, but I can remedy that in like, five seconds flat, if you're ready to go again," a man's deep voice responded. "No! Keep your damn clothes on." She shook her head as we walked into the huge bedroom with the enormous bed. A nice looking, and really big, blonde man sat propped up against the headboard, holding a laptop. His eyes widened a second before his jaw dropped. "Holy shit! You're the best wife ever! I didn't even know you wanted a threesome, but I'm all in, baby," he exclaimed, pulling his shirt over his head. I looked away after I got an eyeful of his broad and very nice chest and abs."Oh my God!" the woman muttered, covering her even redder face. "I'm so sorry," she turned and said to me. "My husband can be a real jackass." "Aww," the man made a noise of disappointment and flopped heavily back against the headboard, making it rattle. "You mean she's not a surprise threesome?" he asked. When I glanced back over, a huge canvas photo above his head caught my eye. I didn't remember seeing it there Friday night. It was of Will's sister. In naughty lingerie? Huh. "No, and now you won't be having any twosomes either." "What am I supposed to think when you bring a random woman into our bedroom?" he asked. "This is … I'm sorry, what was your name?" she asked me. "Lacy.""This is Lacy. Will's…date from the other night. Have you seen a diamond earring?""Wow, he was right. How the fuck did Will manage to snag you?" the man asked as he climbed out of bed and opened a dresser drawer. "You were shit-faced drunk, right?""Dylan! My brother is a sweet, handsome guy.""Hold on," I said as all the pieces started to fall into place. "Do you guys live here?" I asked even though I was pretty sure I knew the answer. "Ah, yeah," the woman replied, sounding confused. "Why?" she asked then gasped. "Did that bastard pretend like this was his place?""Yep. He sure did," I responded, pissed that he'd not only used me, but had also lied to me, apparently about everything except his name. The man laughed while the woman looked appalled. "Dylan was right. You are too good for my brother. That lying sack of shit. I can't believe he did that.""Here you go," the man said when he came over and dropped the diamond stud into my palm. "Thank you," I sighed in relief. "You found it and didn't tell me?" the woman snapped at the man, Dylan I believe she'd called him, with her hands on her hips. "What if it was mine?""I knew it wasn't yours, and I didn't want you accusing me of cheating on you if you found it. So I put it away until I could give it to Will." Smart man."Oh. Well, that was probably a good idea," she conceded. "I know, I have my moments," he responded. "So, ladies, threesome. What's it going to take to make that happen? Lots of alcohol for deniability?" he asked with a smile. His wife shook her head before leaving the room, and of course I followed. "I apologize on his behalf. We've only been married a week and I'm already having second thoughts.""Hey, I heard that! You know you love me!" he yelled from the bedroom."Congratulations," I told her. "He seems...like a handful." "He is, but he's worth it,” she laughed, obviously head over heels in love despite her teasing. “I'm Julie by the way. Julie Reavis," she said with a smile, offering her hand which I shook. "No wait, I’m Julie Daughtry now!""It was nice meeting you. Sorry for barging in on you and your new husband, and thanks for helping me find the earring," I said, holding it up as I went toward the door. "Did you want to see him again?" she asked. "Will?" I nodded. "Yeah, but that was before I found out he lied to me." "I can totally understand that, but my brother really is a nice guy. He told us you were too good for him, so maybe that's why he lied.""What?" I asked. "He said you could have any man you wanted, so why would you want him." "I thought he was different...but it turned out I was wrong."

Cover Reveal for All In: Playing to Win
ALL INPlaying to Win Release Date: June 16, 2015
Synopsis
Zack Bradford's ego is so big that it can barely be contained in the stadium where he plays professional football. The quarterback previously named Rookie of the Year and deemed the Sexiest Man Alive is on top of the world. Or at least he was, until he gets hit by a scandal that could end his career. To keep his multi-million dollar contract with the family oriented Wildcats, Zack has to improve his playboy image, starting with settling down with one woman…and he must do so in less than a week's time!
Natalie Adair's life changed dramatically when she found out she had breast cancer at the young age of twenty-one. Deciding to dedicate her second chance at life helping others, Natalie accepts a job at one of the nation’s largest breast cancer foundations, devoting her time to helping other women find and treat cancer early on. The organization's most lucrative fundraiser every year is the auction of autographed team merchandise by pro football players, and this year Natalie's in charge of the event. Not only is it a great cause, but the event provides Natalie with the opportunity to get up close and personal with incredibly hot players, including the quarterback from college who swept her off her feet with a kiss of epic proportions. After her and Zack Bradford's kiss in their sophomore year, Natalie went right back to being invisible…that is, until their two paths cross again.
Zack can't believe his luck when a beautiful saint, one that actually works for a cancer charity for Christ’s sake, practically falls into his lap. She is just the woman he needs to save his job. The only problem? The tiny, feisty, and somewhat familiar blonde flat out turns him down. Zack welcomes the challenge of having to actually work to woo a woman for once, but he warns Natalie that once he decides he wants to play, he only plays to win.
Will Natalie be able to resist Zack's persistence and charisma, or will she overcome her insecurities and end up falling for the player?

COVER REVEAL for CALE by Victoria Ashley

My name is Cale Kinley and I’m a fucking Virgin…
Well, with the exception of my tongue. The countless things I can do with my tongue are bound to leave you breathless and begging for more, but more… is something that I can’t give. It’s a choice. My choice.
There’s a reason for that. A very good reason, and that reason is her.
Riley.
She’s the only woman that I want to bury myself deep in. The one woman I have wanted since I was old enough to fuck.
I never got my chance though, because she left. She had no choice and it stung like hell. But I couldn’t let her leave without telling her how I felt. I wanted her to be my first and I didn’t give a shit how long I’d have to wait.
It’s been six years and now she’s back and sexier than all hell. Just the sight of her stops my damn heart from beating. I want her and for more than just having her as my first.
I’m determined to have her in every way possible. She thinks this is still a game; that I’ve already given myself to countless women. What she doesn’t know is that I have a lot of willpower.
When I want something as badly as I want her, I don’t let shit stand in my way. I’m going to prove that to her. There’s just one little problem I need to take care of…
Him.

New Book Covers
In order to get removed from Amazon's "adult content" book cover filter, and actually have my books visible in searches, here are the new covers for All In: Betting on a Full House and All In: Calling His Bluff. I hate that I had to update them, and hope that the new covers do not cause readers any confusion. Amazon will be showing these updates to the book pages soon.

So this just happened ...
As an erotic romance author I understand and appreciate that my books are for adults only. Some adults are offended by the dirty talking and the sexually graphic scenes, which I really do get. I don't let my parents read my books for that exact reason. My books aren't for everyone. There's a warning of what you will get in my books (the harsh language and sexually explicit scenes) at the beginning of each book, as well as at the very beginning of the summary on the product page. But for Amazon to tell me this about All In: Calling His Bluff is ridiculous:
"We have found your Kindle book contains adult content. Books with adult content will not surface in general product searches ..."
Sure, I know Amazon doesn't want my books, which have sexy covers, popping up when kids are searching for books on unicorns or when grandmas are looking up recipe books. But to refuse to allow my book to appear in the results when the exact full title is entered in the search field is ludicrous.
Now I'm having the covers of my books, the two with two men's arms covering the entire breast area of two women, redone. It pisses me off that I have to do this just so that someone looking for my book, typing in the full title, will be able to find it. I shouldn't have to do this, especially when there are covers out there much more revealing than mine. Either way, lesson learned.
Doing some research, it seems that women on book covers must be completely covered, but it's okay for men to let it all hang out. For my next series about super sexy MMA fighters, I'll be sticking with pics of half-naked hotties on the covers just so I won't offend anyone.
Goodbye old covers. You show less skin than most bathing suits, but you're nevertheless inappropriate.

Synopsis
WARNING: THIS BOOK IS FOR 18+ ONLY DUE TO THE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT SCENES AND ADULT LANGUAGE.
Julie Reavis thinks the sorority sluts at her expensive Liberal Arts private school are all idiots. For some reason they've wrongly mislabeled Dylan, her brother Will's long time best friend (all six feet, four inches of his buff, blonde, Greek god like gorgeousness) as being gay. However, she doesn't mind using their mistake to make Dylan an indecent proposal.
After an embarrassing incident with a smoking hot frat boy, sexually inexperienced Jules asks Dylan to educate her in the bedroom, showing her how to be sexier and more desired by men. In exchange for his help, she'll pretend to be his girlfriend, including throwing in a few PDAs in front of the sorority sluts he's been lusting after for months.
Millionaire Dylan Daughtry is tired of dealing with greedy gold diggers, but he's desperate to get laid. He's so desperate that he considers going behind his best friend Will's back to teach his little sister, Jules, the art of pleasuring men in exchange for her help "getting out of the closet" and squashing rumors about his sexuality.
Dylan surrenders to the temptation of Jules's offer, and they immediately start off her sex-ed with a bang. Dylan had no idea that the sweet, shy, and innocent Jules he's known almost his whole life is a sexy little exhibitionist, or that he'd instantly become addicted to her. Now, he's irrationally jealous of the frat boy he's supposed to be helping Jules get. Dylan just can't stop thinking about her and their sexual escapades. And suddenly, the idea of Jules "experimenting" with anyone but him between the sheets, in elevators, or in parking lots turns him into a possessive, half-crazed madman.
Jules is everything Dylan's been looking for, and he knows without a doubt he'll never be able to trust any woman the way he does her. She could care less about his money, and refuses to let him spend a penny of it on her. Despite how much he wants her, he also knows his best friend will never approve of him going after his little sister, so Dylan decides to just make Jules his sexy little secret.
Jules is falling helplessly in love with Dylan, even though she knows he only sees her as a temporary booty call, part of their indecent proposal to help each other out. After Dylan's assurance that he wants more, she wonders if it's possible that he could actually be falling for her, too. She has her doubts, since Dylan made it clear that he doesn't have any plans of telling her brother the truth about what the two of them have been doing behind his back.
Despite their sneaking around, Will eventually catches Dylan and Jules in the act. He's quick to call bullshit on Dylan's confession of love, and is sure he'll end up breaking Jules's heart sooner rather than later. Will's prediction comes true when a secret Dylan has been keeping from Will and Jules is uncovered and made public, leaving Jules crushed beyond repair. Dylan suddenly realizes that the most important things in life can never be bought, even with his millions. Now he'll have to figure out a way to beg for forgiveness after hurting the one person he'd give away his entire fortune to have.
Excerpts
Whereas most guys standing around the big crowded room looked rather dumpy in their white togas (like my brother), Dylan somehow made the white sash work with his gigantic, lean, six foot four frame. Well, his frame wasn't as lanky and lean as it used to be, I couldn't help but notice. He was showing a lot of smooth, muscular, tan skin tonight. Finally filling out all his height, and with his short sandy blonde hair, sensual pouty lips that begged to be kissed, and strong golden jawline, he looked like a Greek god. Or even better, Kellan Lutz. I suddenly understood the Tri Sigs mischaracterization - Dylan looked too damn good to be straight. Of course, I couldn't look at the man without thinking about that night with him in Vegas almost a year ago. We'd all flown in for our friends Tyler and Jess's wedding. Since I had been a last minute edition, I had to share a room with Will and Dylan. Dylan "accidentally" climbed into my bed with me, instead of his own. Reaching out in the darkness, his big, seeking hand had felt me up, startling me awake. At first I was certain it was just one of my more realistic dreams about being with the man I’d lusted after for the better part of my teen years. Then, Dylan’s deep soothing voice interrupted the quiet silence of the night, so close to me that I shivered when he said, "Oh shit! Sorry, Jules." For some reason he continued lying beside me, which confused me until I woke up a bit more, and realized that despite his words, he still hadn’t removed his hand. In fact it began taking a slow, caressing expedition up my leg, with a layover on my ass. His hand was so warm it felt like it could burn a hole in my pajama bottoms. Not wanting him to move his hand, or ever cease touching me, I'd responded with a quiet, sleepy, "Don’t stop." When Dylan breathlessly asked if I was sure, he sounded as if he was just as affected as I was at our first intimate encounter. I didn't even hesitate with my barely audible, "Yes."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"So, Jules," Dylan started, and I gasped when his big hand grabbed the side of my body that was hidden from the room full of people. "What's underneath your sheet?" His voice was deep and growling, sounding even lower than normal as his thumb brushed over the outside of my breast before it slid down. It finally came to a stop at my hip, like he was searching for bra and panty lines. "Nothing on top, and barely anything on the bottom," I said, without breaking eye contact. It was amazing I could form words, much less a full sentence, with the way my body was freaking the fuck out at his sexy question. It was impossible not to notice that Dylan's eyes had darkened from their normal grassy green to a hazy, lustful, army green during our verbal exchange. "God. Damn," he muttered under his breath. His grip tightened on my hip while his thumb brushed back and forth teasingly along the string of my thong. "That is so. Fucking. Hot." "What's hot?" Will suddenly appeared beside us and asked. Dylan and I both jumped like we'd been shot. "Pizza rolls. Burn the shit out of my mouth every single time," I told him quickly, while Dylan's hand eased away from my hip and he took a step back from me. He not so subtly reached down and pressed his palm to the area of his sheet that covered his groin. Huh. What the hell had gotten into him tonight?"Yeah, the delicious bastards do that, don't they?" Will agreed with my quickly made up "hot" pizza roll diversion. "Dylan, did you tell Jules how slutty her 'toga' looks, and that she should be ashamed of herself, wearing so little in public?" "Those were pretty much my exact words," Dylan nodded and lied, refusing to look at me or my brother.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Maybe I should just give up on guys and become a nun.""You could try being gay, cause that technique is working really great for me," he said, and I couldn't help my smile. The tall man was incredible, and it was hard to believe he didn't have women all over him. He always did in high school. Well, he did now too, but they all thought he was gay. He was going to have to come out of the closet if he ever wanted to get laid. That thought made an imaginary light bulb go off over my head."If you help me, then I'll help you," I told him. "What?" he asked with a crinkled forehead, running a hand through his messy hair. My hands, currently on my hips, twitched, wanting to do the same. "I'll pretend to date you and help you come out of the closet, if you'll help me … figure out how to be sexy and more … adventurous." There were lots of things I'd never done sexually… well okay, basically everything. If Dylan agreed then maybe I could figure things out gradually and not look like such a prude with a guy I was trying to hook up with. I knew he had been with a lot, and I mean a lot of girls in high school, and that he was an amazing kisser. I bet he'd be pretty amazing at everything else too. "What do you mean?" he asked raising an eyebrow suspiciously. "I mean, I'll help you show the Sigs that you're not gay with PDAs or whatever, if you'll show me how to do … things ... in, ah…bed." I was barely able to croak out the last word. "In bed?" he repeated the two words slowly, his green eyes going wide in shock. "I need someone to show me how to … be with a man in ah, more ways than just plain old missionary."

She has her doubts, since Dylan made it clear that he doesn't have any plans of telling her brother the truth about what the two of them have been doing behind his back.
Despite their sneaking around, Will eventually catches Dylan and Jules in the act. He's quick to call bullshit on Dylan's confession of love, and is sure he'll end up breaking Jules's heart sooner rather than later. Will's prediction comes true when a secret Dylan has been keeping from Will and Jules is uncovered and made public, leaving Jules crushed beyond repair. Dylan suddenly realizes that the most important things in life can never be bought, even with his millions. Now he'll have to figure out a way to beg for forgiveness after hurting the one person he'd give away his entire fortune to have.

Excerpts
Whereas most guys standing around the big crowded room looked rather dumpy in their white togas (like my brother), Dylan somehow made the white sash work with his gigantic, lean, six foot four frame. Well, his frame wasn't as lanky and lean as it used to be, I couldn't help but notice. He was showing a lot of smooth, muscular, tan skin tonight. Finally filling out all his height, and with his short sandy blonde hair, sensual pouty lips that begged to be kissed, and strong golden jawline, he looked like a Greek god. Or even better, Kellan Lutz. I suddenly understood the Tri Sigs mischaracterization - Dylan looked too damn good to be straight. Of course, I couldn't look at the man without thinking about that night with him in Vegas almost a year ago. We'd all flown in for our friends Tyler and Jess's wedding. Since I had been a last minute edition, I had to share a room with Will and Dylan. Dylan "accidentally" climbed into my bed with me, instead of his own. Reaching out in the darkness, his big, seeking hand had felt me up, startling me awake. At first I was certain it was just one of my more realistic dreams about being with the man I’d lusted after for the better part of my teen years. Then, Dylan’s deep soothing voice interrupted the quiet silence of the night, so close to me that I shivered when he said, "Oh shit! Sorry, Jules." For some reason he continued lying beside me, which confused me until I woke up a bit more, and realized that despite his words, he still hadn’t removed his hand. In fact it began taking a slow, caressing expedition up my leg, with a layover on my ass. His hand was so warm it felt like it could burn a hole in my pajama bottoms. Not wanting him to move his hand, or ever cease touching me, I'd responded with a quiet, sleepy, "Don’t stop." When Dylan breathlessly asked if I was sure, he sounded as if he was just as affected as I was at our first intimate encounter. I didn't even hesitate with my barely audible, "Yes."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"So, Jules," Dylan started, and I gasped when his big hand grabbed the side of my body that was hidden from the room full of people. "What's underneath your sheet?" His voice was deep and growling, sounding even lower than normal as his thumb brushed over the outside of my breast before it slid down. It finally came to a stop at my hip, like he was searching for bra and panty lines. "Nothing on top, and barely anything on the bottom," I said, without breaking eye contact. It was amazing I could form words, much less a full sentence, with the way my body was freaking the fuck out at his sexy question. It was impossible not to notice that Dylan's eyes had darkened from their normal grassy green to a hazy, lustful, army green during our verbal exchange. "God. Damn," he muttered under his breath. His grip tightened on my hip while his thumb brushed back and forth teasingly along the string of my thong. "That is so. Fucking. Hot." "What's hot?" Will suddenly appeared beside us and asked. Dylan and I both jumped like we'd been shot. "Pizza rolls. Burn the shit out of my mouth every single time," I told him quickly, while Dylan's hand eased away from my hip and he took a step back from me. He not so subtly reached down and pressed his palm to the area of his sheet that covered his groin. Huh. What the hell had gotten into him tonight?"Yeah, the delicious bastards do that, don't they?" Will agreed with my quickly made up "hot" pizza roll diversion. "Dylan, did you tell Jules how slutty her 'toga' looks, and that she should be ashamed of herself, wearing so little in public?" "Those were pretty much my exact words," Dylan nodded and lied, refusing to look at me or my brother.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Maybe I should just give up on guys and become a nun.""You could try being gay, cause that technique is working really great for me," he said, and I couldn't help my smile. The tall man was incredible, and it was hard to believe he didn't have women all over him. He always did in high school. Well, he did now too, but they all thought he was gay. He was going to have to come out of the closet if he ever wanted to get laid. That thought made an imaginary light bulb go off over my head."If you help me, then I'll help you," I told him. "What?" he asked with a crinkled forehead, running a hand through his messy hair. My hands, currently on my hips, twitched, wanting to do the same. "I'll pretend to date you and help you come out of the closet, if you'll help me … figure out how to be sexy and more … adventurous." There were lots of things I'd never done sexually… well okay, basically everything. If Dylan agreed then maybe I could figure things out gradually and not look like such a prude with a guy I was trying to hook up with. I knew he had been with a lot, and I mean a lot of girls in high school, and that he was an amazing kisser. I bet he'd be pretty amazing at everything else too. "What do you mean?" he asked raising an eyebrow suspiciously. "I mean, I'll help you show the Sigs that you're not gay with PDAs or whatever, if you'll show me how to do … things ... in, ah…bed." I was barely able to croak out the last word. "In bed?" he repeated the two words slowly, his green eyes going wide in shock. "I need someone to show me how to … be with a man in ah, more ways than just plain old missionary."

Cover Reveal: Something For the Pain by Victoria Ashley
SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN BY VICTORIA ASHLEY
Blurb
Tempting, inked and highly addictive. Alex is all that and more…
I’ve made a lot of mistakes – ones I’m not proud of, and definitely ones that have left their marks both mentally and physically.
Things got lonely; I got lost in my own fucked up mind and in the end it left me fucked out of my mind and unable to fight – or at least win. That life’s over for me and I’ve moved on.
Six months into tattooing at Blue’s and already I’m the most wanted and sought out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women.
They come into the shop, end up in my bed and we both come out happy. It’s been my release since I’ve stopped fighting. It’s become part of the “new” me.
But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can’t deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl.
So when she asks me to move in with her and her ‘boyfriend’ – our other childhood friend – I never expected for things to get so fucked up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn’t me.
I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest – to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing.
What I didn’t expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp’s eyes when he asked.
One night of free passion could change our lives forever.
I never said that was a good thing either…
Excerpt
He looks at me, smiles and then walks past me and into the room. “Hell yes,” he groans. “It’s fucking hard now, Tripp.”
I feel my stomach flutter and my heart rate pick up from his choice of words. I can’t tell if it’s because I am happy that he’s going to agree on moving in or because the thought of him hard makes me want to jump on him and take him for a ride. He’s my best friend. I shouldn’t even be questioning myself but I can’t help it.
“Umm . . . good, I guess,” I say in response as I step up beside him in front of the water.
When I look down at his hand, I notice him adjusting the crotch of his jeans. I give him a shove and he looks over at me with a grin. “Damn, Tripp. Are you trying to make me wrestle you? You know it’s been a while but you’ve been pretty damn pushy today. I still have the skills to take you down.”
I can’t help but to laugh. “I pushed you because you were playing with your dick. Are you seriously hard right now?”
He pulls his hand away from his jeans and sure enough I see a huge bulge. I can tell it’s not fully hard, but damn! “Well what the hell do you expect when you call this the sex pool? Am I not supposed to get aroused at the thought of fucking someone in here?” I pull my eyes away from his crotch and punch his arm. “Oh come on, Tripp. Don’t be ashamed to look. We’ve known each other our whole lives. You don’t think I have sneaked peeks at your body from time to time. You know you’ve imagined how big it is before. I’ll let you have a peek if want. What’s mine is yours,” he says huskily.
He bites his bottom lip and reaches for his belt as he steps closer to me in a teasing way. The thought of his erection being so close to me gets me so nervous that I reach out with both hands and push him into the pool. My hands instantly go up to cover my mouth as he falls in with a huge splash.
I burst out in laughter as he quickly resurfaces the water and jumps out of the pool while wiping his face off. His shirt is clinging to his muscular body and water is dripping down his face and lips. It’s the most glorious site I have ever seen. Just when I think he’s about to yell at me, he yanks his shirt over his head and reaches into his pocket to toss his phone aside. He grins and closes the distance between.
“You’re getting it now.” I take in a deep breath as his, cold firm chest presses against my breasts. “You ready for me to get you wet, Tripp? I’ve been waiting for this for a long, long time.”
He’s too quick for me to even attempt to make an escape. He picks me up, wraps my legs around his waist and walks over the edge of the pool. I instantly take notice of his partial boner pressing firmly against my clit which only makes me wish we were naked.
We sink to the bottom with his hands gripping into my bare thighs while he holds me close. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he pushes up with his muscular legs and we both swim back up to the top.
I fight to catch my breath while pushing water from out of my face. “Dammit, Alex!”
I hear him laughing behind me so I turn around to yell at him, but he’s too quick and is already back behind me again. “What’s the matter? You didn’t expect me to get you so wet?”
I lean my head back and bite my lip in frustration. Him and this damn teasing. He’s really getting a kick out of this. “You’re lucky I love you so much,” I bite out.
I feel his body press up behind me before he wraps his arm around me and starts pulling me back to the edge of the pool. Once there, he picks me up and gives my ass a boost until I am on my knees, catching my breath on the smooth, wet ground. My body gets heated from the skin to skin contact and feeling his finger so close to being able to slip inside me. It’s the closest it’s been before and it steals my breath away. I chose to wear a thong today so not only did my dress ride up, but I’m sure he just got a full on view of my ass in his face.
I quickly get back to my feet and turn around to face him, now embarrassed. He’s just standing there staring up at me, his eyes unreadable. “Aren’t you getting out?”
His eyes quickly scan over my breasts before moving down to my exposed thighs and staying there. “Yeah. I’m coming.” He smiles and I give him the middle finger. “No, I didn’t mean it like that.” He laughs while pulling himself halfway out of the pool. “You have such a dirty mind,” he says in a serious tone. “I’m not sure I can handle living with someone with such filthy thoughts. You just might corrupt me.”
