Double Delight #midweektease #romance @sirenbookstrand Grab a coffee and enjoy


Simi hurried on past the huge fir tree decorated with bright white fairy lights. The seventh chime of twelve echoed out. A car suddenly sped by, sending a spray of icy water up onto the sidewalk and drenching her calves. The shock made her falter. One of her spike heels caught between pavers that had cracked in the summer. Simi fell as the heel broke off from the shoe and the last stroke of midnight faded away.

She didn’t reach the cold, hard pavers. 

Two strong male hands grasped her waist, lifted her, and set her on her feet. A deep, attractive voice asked, “Are you okay?—You’re not. You’re freezing and your shoe is broken. Let me help you. I’m here for you.” He held her shoulders, taking some of her weight as Simi limped to face her rescuer.

She looked up and into the eyes of a gorgeous man. Strands of his thick dark hair glistened in the light, thrown off by the strings of fairy lights threaded through the branches of the trees lining this part of the sidewalk. The sleet lent a sheen to these strands and lit him up as if he, too, was a Christmas decoration. Simi gazed at him. She drank in the perfect features of his face. Her eyes dipped to take in his obviously muscled body under his clothes. His overcoat hung open over a black suit. He wore a gleaming white shirt and a black bow tie. 
He’s perfect.

“I’m fine, thank you,” her voice scratched out.

He gave her a look just short of amused, but definitely disbelieving.
“I know otherwise. Please, it’s Christmas. Let me be here for you.”

18+ excerpt
Emily opened the door.
The sight took his breath away. She was dressed in a simple, short, dark-blue shift dress, but it touched her curves exactly right. His gaze strayed to her bare thighs, and then with a smile he raised his eyes to hers.
“Emily, you look beautiful. I’m early, I know.”
She nodded and smiled. “It doesn’t matter. It’s great to see you.” She opened the door wider. “Come in.”
Chris stepped into the hall. It brought them to stand very close together. His heart pounded. Will she see my jacket move with the force of this pounding? It’s probably loud enough for her to hear. He stared at her. Conviction she was meant to be his, that they were destined for each other, gave him courage. He held out his arms.
Emily went into them, molding her body against his, her arms sliding around his neck.
The move enchanted Chris. His hips surged forward against her. He pressed his erection onto her stomach. His arms around her waist, he bent his head slowly to hers. The sexual tension between them lent an air of unreality to the atmosphere. The moment his lips met hers Chris felt as if every muscle in his body had dissolved. The floating sensation was exquisite. He savored her mouth. He soaked up every brush of her breath, every inch of her body as she pressed against him, her soft lips kissing him, her hands gentle in his hair. Delight coursed through him. Low moans from them both added to the raw sexual connection. His cock throbbed. His balls pulsed. He ran his hands down Emily’s ass to cup her there, lift and hold her to his body as he thrust the bulge in his pants against her.
Emily broke the kiss to whisper a question against his lips. “Chris, did you book dinner anywhere?”
He took a breath. The loss of the kiss pulled his mouth back to hers. He kissed her between words. “Why? No, I was hoping to take you to a quiet place a friend recommended.” He kissed along her cheek to her ear and then down her neck. Her skin was like silk. He rubbed his lips, nose, and cheek against it, tenderly, loving the scent of her.
“I thought we might stay here for a while, unless you’re hungry…I…” Her murmured words against his ear sent ripples of sensation down his stomach to his cock.
He groaned. She wanted him. He sensed it. He scented her desire. The air vibrated, saturated with sexual longing. “I’m hungry for you. I want you badly. I can’t think straight for wanting you naked in my arms. I know we’ve just met. I’m sorry.”
She shook her head. “I want you, too.” She moved to take his hands. She led him down her hall to a room.
As they went through the door, Chris realized it was her bedroom. He saw the balcony window he’d stared through before.
She turned and offered her dress zipper to him. The movement of her hair released a clean yet heady perfume.
He fumbled for a second. The nape of her neck enticed him. He kissed her shoulder as he pulled down the zip. When his fingers encountered her panties he moved back to watch as she shook the dress from her shoulders, and down her arms. It slipped to the floor, past her hips. She stood before him, and his breath left him. Her bra was barely there, her panties like a tiny band of lace. He gathered her into his arms slowly, fighting down the urge to pull her to the floor and fuck her hard.
He merged his lips with hers in a kiss that closed his eyes with lust. His body heavy with desire, his cock painfully hard, strained at his clothes. The pressure of her fingers as she unfastened his pants sent a buzz of excitement over his skin. Tonight he’d worn a suit. The pants came undone easily, and her fingertips trailed over the head of his cock. A groan formed in his throat. He shuddered as she grasped his cock.
“You’ll make me come. I’m out of practice. That feels great.” His voice sounded strange. He shook as sweat beaded on his forehead.
Emily let him go carefully. “You’re hot.” She laughed. “I mean you’re warm. Let’s get these clothes off you.”

From @sirenbookstrand and Silke Ming #menage 'Theirs for the Taking'

Eden Stone, owner and CEO of Stone & Stone Architects, has head-hunted and hired the renowned architect Cody Stretton for his company. They have their initial meeting one night in one of the town’s swanky clubs, where Eden is immediately attracted to the voluptuous and beautiful bartender, Chelsea, unaware that she is Cody’s wife.
The Strettons have been married for ten years and have been look a partner to rejuvenate their sex life, but are wary of the town’s sex clubs. When Cody sees the amount of interest Eden is showing in his wife, he convinces her that Eden is their man, but there is a small problem. Eden is Cody’s boss and he knows that mixing business with pleasure is a risk. However, when Cody reveals their intentions to Eden, he finds the idea appealing and can’t wait to join them, but things take a surprising turn when the three lovers finally get together in the bedroom.





THEIRS FOR THE TAKING - EXCERPT
Under the shower, Eden thought about his life. He was a happy man. There were two people in his life that he loved and he wouldn’t have it any other way. This kind of relationship he hadn’t expected, but he had grown used to being in bed with Cody and Chelsea together. He had been attracted to Chelsea from the first moment he had laid eyes on her and he knew that she and Cody had been looking for a third person to share their bed. He imagined getting together with the two of them now and again, but it had turned out differently and he had no regrets. He had fallen in love with Chelsea, and something else had happened that he hadn’t expected. He had also fallen in love with the temperamental husband, Cody. Robin had been correct with her assessment of the problem that had existed in the household.
Cody was jealous of the attention that Eden showered on Chelsea, leaving him out in the cold. Cody too had also fallen in love with Eden, but in the last few months, things had definitely improved by leaps and bounds after that hot and steamy scenario in Eden’s office. Things had returned to normal at home and Chelsea was happy to see that her two men had put their differences behind them. They were sharing and enjoying each other’s bodies, but Eden still wasn’t ready to allow Cody to make that final step. 
    **** 
When he came from the shower, he could hear voices coming from downstairs. Cody and Chelsea were laughing and talking, and he smiled. A few months earlier, he had felt like the outsider in the relationship, but he had proved to them, especially when Chelsea was ill, that he was an asset in their union and not a liability. Showing his love for Cody had also calmed the winds that had buffeted around in the home, causing discord. He heard footsteps coming in his direction, and in his nakedness, he turned around and saw Cody standing at the bedroom door.
“That was a long shower,” he said. “I needed it. I feel alive again. Strange what a warm shower can do to the body. Where’s Chelsea?”
“She’ll be up in a minute.”
“It’s still early. What are we going to do with the rest of the evening?” Eden asked. “All I want to do is spend it with the people in my life.”
“I was thinking that we could go to a club and kick our heels up.”
“When was the last time you went to a club? You wouldn’t know what the inside of a club looked like if someone set you down in the middle of one,” Cody teased. “You know me better than that. After a long day, the only exercise I want is getting between the sheets with my loves.”
“I like the sound of that,” Cody said softly. “Why don’t we get a head-start before Chelsea comes up? Let me help you get out of those clothes,” a now-brazen Eden said.
Eden stood beside the nightstand, his hand on the drawer, watching him.
“Should I do a strip-tease to get you in the mood?” Cody asked. “I’m already in the mood,” Eden said, pulling open the nightstand drawer and noticing the pink handcuffs. He stared at Cody. He had thrown his clothes onto the armchair and stood before him, naked.
“Get on your back,” he ordered Cody.
Before he had a chance to think about Eden’s intentions, Eden had both hands bound to the brass headboard. Cody looked up at him, desire filling his eyes. “Don’t you look delicious,” he remarked, running his fingers up and down Cody’s thighs, and watched his cock lift. Cody’s fingers flexed in the handcuffs and he lifted head, his lips parted in anticipation. They were so involved with each other that they didn’t hear Chelsea enter. She stood there with a smile on her lips, watching them. Cody stared past Eden and their eyes met. Eden turned and beckoned to her, and she slowly walked over, standing a little way from the bed. Forgetting that he was bound to the headboard, Cody struggled to get up, only to rest his head back onto the pillow. Eden ran a finger slowly along Cody’s erect cock and watched as his muscles rippled in response.
“Take your clothes off,” Eden said to Chelsea. “Very slowly!”
As he stroked Cody’s cock, his gaze remained pinned on Chelsea. She unbuttoned her slacks and let them fall to the floor, and stepped out of them. Next, she removed the blouse, revealing the swell of her heavy breasts, and a tightness gripped Eden’s groin, bringing a groan from deep down in his soul. Her hands moved to her back to remove her bra, but he stopped her.
“I am always aroused by the female breast,” he said. “But yours do something strange to me. I can’t stay away from them.” He stepped away from the bed and as if in slow motion, moved toward her.

About Silke

 I have always loved writing. I started out with poetry and then graduated to novels. Not a day goes by that I do not do some form of writing. I started out with romance novels two years ago, and have so far written seventeen of them.
I also try to read at least two books each month, thanks to the convenience of the E Reader which makes it easy to shop the bookstores from the comfort of one’s home.
In addition to my love of books, is my love of travel. Although my career was in travel, I am still bitten by the travel bug, and travel whenever I can. I have lived in The Caribbean, Italy, India and Germany, and now make Canada my home.
My other passions are travelling, gardening and cooking, and I consider myself a gourmet cook.

Free a wolf shifter in #teaserThursday #PNR #suspense from @sirenbookstrand



Evie freed her hands from his and ran her fingertips up his chest. She caressed his jaw.
“Do you want dinner now or after I make love to you?”
Ryder’s eyes widened at her. “Here? Can anyone see us?”
Evie smiled. “Ah, so if no one can see us you’d like that?” She’d worn her hair loose, and it fell down over her shoulder in dark waves.
Ryder reached out and wound a length around his hand. He brushed her breast with his fingertips and her nipple peaked through her fine cotton T-shirt. He flicked his gaze to hers and traced her nipple with his thumb.
Evie’s body went into melt down. She closed her eyes and sighed with pleasure, trailing her fingertips carefully down Ryder’s body. She wanted to make love to him, but not hurt him.
Evie moved the quilt and opened her eyes to see what she’d revealed. She ran her tongue over her lips and traced the shape of his erection, over the head and down the rock-hard column with a trembling fingertip. She bent and kissed Ryder’s lips.
Ryder murmured against her mouth, “Evie, this feels so good. I want you so badly.”
She sat up and pulled off her T-shirt. Her breasts pushed out, the nipples hard and she brought his hands to hold them.
“I want you, too.” Her voice reduced to a whisper, she grasped his cock as he gently kneaded her breasts. Evie savored the feel of him, and acutely aware of the torture he’d endured, she softened her touch as her fingertips reached his balls.
Ryder opened her jeans and Evie stood to let him push them down her thighs.
She took them off and stood before him in her panties. A tremble went through her. The desire welling up inside her was so strong her clit buzzed and her pussy throbbed. She could hardly wait to feel him inside her.
He took a deep breath. “You are lovely,” he whispered. He leaned to her and kissed along her stomach and hips, his hands gentle on the sides of her body.
Evie drifted in the pleasure of his touch. Her stomach tightened under his lips. She angled her hips to him wanting, needing his fingers inside her. Her pussy clenched and cream drenched her panties.
Ryder made a soft sound and plunged a hand down inside them. “I can sense your need. Your scent’s beguiling.” He ran a finger around her folds, and then he pushed two cream-coated fingers into her. “Fucking hell, you feel like heaven.” He nuzzled her breasts as he fingered her, making low sexy sounds that sent tingles racing over every inch of Evie’s body.

Interview with @SilkeMing as she visits with new #menage #eroticromance from @sirenbookstrand


INTERVIEW WITH SILKE MING
Q.     Who is Silke Ming?
          She is a lady who loves to laugh, and enjoys having her friends around.

Q.     Why did you choose the romance genre for your writing?

         I had always thought that erotic romance novels were written by older men hiding in closets, and was surprised to find out that most of the romance authors are female, who are proud of their craft. I really wanted to write Barbara Cartland type novels, but got a rude awakening when I submitted my first novel to several romance publishers.

Q.     Why do you say that?

          They had no interest in sweet romance novels, or as they so politely put it, they were not interested in purple prose.

Q.     How many romance novels have you written so far?

 Right now I’m on my seventeenth manuscript.

                Q.    And what are you working on? Or are you superstitious, Silke?

        Let me put it this way. I will not walk under a ladder, nor will I allow a black cat to cross my path and I am always wary of Friday the thirteenth. However, I don’t mind sharing my WIPs. I am writing my first MM, and it surrounds a defrocked priest, and the second WIP is about a homeless girl who just happens to meet Mr. Right on a street corner.

Q.     They both sound yummy. I can imagine how sinful they will be, but I’ve noticed that your books aren’t all about love and sex. You tackle some very trending matters.

 A.    Yes, I do. I’ve touched on subjects like female genital mutilation, a brutal practice of circumcising young girls, which is still being done in many parts of the world.



Q.     Silke, what are your pleasures in life?

A.     I am an avid gardener. As soon as the spring thaw is gone, I am one of the first persons out there trudging through the slush in the back garden. Traveling is my number one passion, gardening comes in a close second and lastly, cooking.


Q.     You seem to have traveled extensively. Is there one place you haven’t yet visited, but would like to?

A.     Bora Bora and the islands of the South Pacific.


Q.       Have you any regrets about your life? Or is there anything you wanted to do or wished you had done?

 A.      I wish I had learned to play the violin. I envy people who took the time to learn to play the instrument, and are so good at it.

Q.     Who is your favorite author and why.

 A.    I love the Austen sisters, Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens. I have been reading these authors’ books since I was a little girl and I have lost count of the times that I have read Jane Eyre.

Thank you, Silke. It was a pleasure speaking with you, and I wish you continued success on the path you have chosen.


Thank you, Elodie.

STORY EXCERPT

Katie waited nervously in the coffee shop for Bridges to arrive. Her long, red hair, cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, swayed each time she moved her head. After waiting for close to ten minutes, she saw him approaching from the east side of the street, hard hat in hand. She remembered those broad shoulders, the sway of his hips, and the hollows his dimples formed when he smiled. Her heart flip-flopped in her chest and her palms became clammy.
Oh, God! One glance and she wanted him. The last time she’d seen him had been a few months earlier, and he’d had the same effect on her.
He seemed to be looking for the coffee shop, and when he saw it, he paused, waiting to cross the street.
Watching him from afar, she noticed the similarities between him and Mason. When they walked, it seemed as if they were the only men on the earth. She never took her eyes off him, and when he had the opportunity to cross the street, his pace quickened and he smiled, perhaps to a polite driver. He opened the door of the coffee shop, and she felt as if her heart had ceased to beat. Here was the man she had loved for most of her life, the man who had taken her virginity and had shown her the ways of the world. Here he was again, about to reenter her life.
Spotting her, he strode directly to her and sat down, not trusting himself to touch her. He gazed into her eyes and she into his.
“Hello, Katie,” he crooned.
Her panties were immediately creamy and wet. Moving uneasily in her chair, she greeted him.
“Hello, Bridges,” she replied, rubbing her sweaty palms on the knees of her jeans. She was nervous and it showed. “How are you?”
“I’m very well. No need to ask how you are. You are still as beautiful as the first day we met.”
That voice sent thrills up and down her spine. God, the man didn’t have to do too much to get her going.
“And you’re still as charming. I’ve already ordered. What are you having?”
“You,” he whispered softly. “Unfortunately I can’t have you, so I’ll have a double espresso. What are you drinking?”
“Mint tea,” she said, unable to tear herself away from his gaze.
“I miss you, Katie. I asked you this before when I saw you in Chapel Hills a few months ago. Why did you disappear from my life without a word to me?”
“Everything happened very quickly. My mother sent me to take care of Agatha. One thing led to another, and it all just progressed from there.”
“Do you love him?”
“If you are referring to Mason, the answer is yes. I love him very much.”
“Do you love him as much as you loved me?”
“I know what you want to hear, but it’s not a fair question, Bridges. You’re trying to paint me in a corner.”
“Yes, I want to get you in that corner, but right now I want to know how you feel about me, because I still love you as much as I did three years ago.” He reached across the table and held her hand. “Tell me that you still love me.”
“Yes, Bridges. I have always loved you, and will always love you.”
“Does that mean you’ll come back to me?”
“I’ll never leave Mason. I love him too much. You should get to know him. He’s a beautiful man.”
“I don’t understand where that leaves me.”
“Mason knows I still love you, and he advised me to talk to you about it.”
“I can’t live without you, Katie. The last three years have been hell on earth.”
“Why didn’t you search for me? Why did you marry someone else?”
“What was I to do? I thought you didn’t love me anymore.”
“Oh, Bridges,” she replied, squeezing his hand. “After I left, I was sure you didn’t care for me, and my heart ached for you. I thought how stupid I was to allow your brothers to take advantage of me because it was the only way I could get close to you.”
“Precious Katie. Is that what you did?” he asked, his voice making her panties wetter.
“It was the only way I could get into the Ridley ranch. Rock took advantage of it, and Jeff always seemed to follow him to get his share.”
“I’m so sorry, Katie. If there is anything I could do to undo all the wrong, believe me, I would.”
“There’s no need to worry about all that. The past is behind us, and I’ve found a man who loves me in spite of everything he has heard about me.”
She stared into those cool blue eyes and saw Mason’s face. It seemed as if she was doomed to spend her life attached to one or more of the Ridley brothers.
Their conversation was interrupted when the waiter arrived with their coffee and tea and an afternoon snack.
“Do you like working with Mason?”
“Yes, I do. I have responsibilities, but not as many as I had working with my brothers.”
“Why did you really leave the company?”
“There are two reasons. It became more and more difficult working with Rock and Jeff. They’ve really never grown up, and it was too much for me to shoulder the business alone.”
“And what was the second reason?”
“I thought of leaving on more than one occasion, but this time, I got word that another company was interested in me. When I found out it was Mason, I jumped at the opportunity because I knew a partnership in his company would bring me closer to you.”
“And now that you’re here in Wilton Park?”
“You tell me, Katie. I’m willing to settle for whatever you can offer me.”
“You’re a wonderful human being, Bridges. You deserve only the best.”
“I wish polygamy was legal in this country. I’d marry you at this very moment.”
“Don’t say that, Bridges. It’s not healthy to think that way. You deserve better than that.”
“Give me hope, Katie. No matter how small.”


ADULT EXCERPT
“You like that?”
“It tickles,” she said softly.
He ran the feather over one nipple, and it immediately rose like a mountain peak. Circling it over and over again, he watched the heightened arousal on her face. He moved the feather to the other breast and she moaned, her hips moving gently in his direction. He ran it along her neck, down to her breasts, and up again.
“Still tickles?” he asked.
“No,” she said, shifting from side to side. “Feels like a creepy-crawly moving across my body.”
“And you don’t like it?” he asked, running the feather along her navel and above her curly mound.
This elicited only a groan from her.
He stepped back and stared at her, laid the feather down, and disappeared. Katie writhed, trying to free herself.
“Mason? Where are you?”
There was no answer, and after waiting for what seemed like ages, she called out to him again. “Where are you, Mason?” she shouted.
“Missed me already?” he whispered, putting a small container onto the floor and a shaving brush and razor onto the bed.
“Where were you?” she asked, trying to move her head to the side.
“I was looking for something.”
“Mason, please tell me what you’re doing.”
“You’ll soon find out, my love,” he replied, dipping the brush into the container and lathering her mound.
“What are you doing?”
“Just wait and you’ll see when I’m finished.”
“Are you going to shave me?”
“How did you know? Does it turn you on? I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time,” he said, pushing aside bits of red hair that clung to his fingers.
When he was through, he wiped away the remnants, removing any evidence of the fiery-red hair that once existed there.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he said, moving his fingers feather-like across her cleanly shaven mound.
He once again picked up the feather, his new instrument of torture, and ran it from her breasts, over her navel, and down to her velvety mound, his hard cock grinding all the while against her naked thighs.
“As smooth as a baby’s backside,” he said.
Katie squirmed and moaned as he returned the feather to her tortured nipples.
“No man can love a woman as much as I love you,” he whispered, laying down the feather and claiming her lips. “You’ll always be mine. Forever! I’ll share you, Katie, but I’ll never leave you.”
While he stroked that magnificent cock, he ran one finger over her bare mound, descending to her swollen nub of pleasure. She gasped as he possessed it, circling it agonizingly slow. She cried out as the euphoria overtook her body, and she begged for release, but he wasn’t ready to ease her suffering. He continued his torment, and she rotated her hips, clearly trying to get as much satisfaction as she could from the solitary finger that would conquer that elusive orgasm. His warm tongue lapped against her pert nipple, finally sucking it into his mouth, pulling it and extending that scarlet peak to its full length, and that single finger coated in her nectar found its way between her lips.

Rename #SexySnippets 'Scorching' as Eden and Liberty can't resist each other #erotic 18+ #PNR


Sexy Snippets are seven sentences, taken from a work in progress, or published book, brought to you every Sunday.
When a stranger arrives in town, he instantly captures lonely Liberty’s attention. Drawn to him by a deep undeniable instinct, Liberty loses her heart when Eden Farrell flirts with her.
Will he be the lover she’s begun to long for?
Eden Farrell, PI, wolf shifter, gorgeous, goes after what he wants, and now he wants Liberty. He recognizes the wolf in her long before she knows what he is. He ignites a passion in Liberty and she delights him with her response.
As a deep bond forms between them, danger follows Eden. He’s in love with Liberty, and believes nothing will keep him from her. Trouble is; danger is out to find them both.
#SexySnippet 7
 He lifted her ass with strong hands and leaned over her, kissing up her stomach to her breasts, and his cock slid into her, filling, stretching, until the hard length of him was deep inside her pussy.
Liberty gasped at the first thrust. It was so incredibly yummy. She held him against her body and wrapped her legs around his hips, digging her heels into his ass to keep him close.
His throaty moans in her ear as he fucked her gave her goose bumps all the way down her neck, and her nipples peaked so hard they grazed deliciously against Eden’s muscles.
Her eyes closed heavy with lust and pleasure, she grabbed his hips and pushed up to meet his thrusts. When another orgasm hovered deep inside her pussy, she craved release again so badly she whimpered for it, grasping at Eden’s dark hair, holding his face to hers so that she could suck his tongue into her mouth and kiss him deep and hard.

Elodie Parkes does a great job carrying over issues from the first book, Surprising the Alpha.... Her characters are well-developed and believable. Liberty is a fun heroine. She had been lonely until Eden enters into her life. I had a lot of respect for Eden.... He is brave and determined. The two make a magnetic couple. I loved the mystery in the plot. I thought the case that Eden was working on was fascinating and tied in well with the series. Some interesting things come into play toward the end of the story that I’m looking forward to reading about in the next book. This is a great series. I enjoyed this book even more then the first one. Thank you for writing it!

She’s beautiful. She’s mine. Who is she? I have to know. I have to meet her. #ScintillatingSunday #PNR

Welcome to the weekly Scintillating Sunday Showcase, The Mile High Muses' permanent blog hop for eight paragraphs, sentences, or words from a romance novel.

#ScintillatingSunday


The huge gray wolf skirted the perimeter of the orchards, and then, dropping his pace to a dogtrot, he sniffed the air, and followed the new scents. They were human and something else, some sweet herbal scent he didn’t recognize. There was just the merest hint of wolf, too, but he dismissed it. Perhaps Lucas has been to see Becky in the last weekvague though for a scent that should be familiar to me…too vague…I could be mistaken… Intrigued by the scents, Joshua dropped the thought and went to investigate.

He leapt the low hedge that separated the orchards from the land where the owning family’s house stood. A shiny blue SUV with California plates stood on the drive. The new scents swirled around there. Joshua picked out one and breathed it in. Female—delicious. The perfume enticed and beguiled him. He dropped to the ground in a patch of giant white daises. I want to see her. The need to set eyes on the female drove all other thought from him. The herbal and the female scents filled his head. He swallowed down a surprising urge to howl.

Dani Cruz ran down the steps from the veranda, her glossy brown hair streaming out behind her. The top four buttons of her white cotton shirt were undone and as she moved, the warm breeze flattened the fabric against her breasts. She strode to the SUV.

Mesmerized by her loveliness, the wolf froze to watch her. The way her slim hips moved, her thighs in the tight denim jeans, and the tilt of her head showing her slender neck trapped him in a spell of desire the like he’d never felt before. Joshua snuffled, a sound somewhere between a whimper and a growl. He bathed in her scent. He soaked up the sight of her. She’s beautiful. She’s mine. Who is she? I have to know. I have to meet her.

Enchanted, he gazed at her as she got into the SUV and drove away. Joshua rose up on his powerful hind legs and leapt after the vehicle. At the end of the long driveway, he came to his senses and stopped chasing the SUV. He sat down for a moment his breath strangely stolen from him. He panted, and shook his huge head to rid himself of the captivating female perfume. Joshua’s blue gaze raked the surrounding countryside. The noise of the car engine was faint now. The gray wolf stood again, trotted along the path, and then changed direction to head for home. Thoughts traveled through his head as he crossed the lush terrain. Maybe she’s visiting the family before they move. Maybe she’s come to help them move. Maybe she’s the person who’s buying the orchards…Lucas might know. Hell, but she’s gorgeous, so sexy. I want her…

As he hurtled up the drive to his house, he shifted, and then came to a skidding standstill on the gravel in front of the porch. His clothes were neatly piled on the step, so someone had been home. He checked the scent, Ryder. He dragged on his jeans and T-shirt before looking around for his boots. They remained strewn by his truck. Joshua walked over and slipped them on. He opened the truck door and brought his cell phone out of the glove compartment. A missed call displayed—Liberty. I’ll go see her.

The high street shimmered in the heat of the late afternoon sun. Joshua counted another two closed-up shops, their windows covered with brown paper, and then he saw two sold signs on shops close to Liberty’s café. That’s hopeful at least. I wonder who’s bought them?

He brought his truck to a halt on the road outside the café and jumped out.
Ryder must have seen him coming because he opened the door wide and grinned at Joshua. “I just fixed this, Josh, so I’d appreciate you simply walking through without touching anything. Did you hear the news, is that why you’re back?”

The cage door opened and Ryder raised his head. Astonished, he saw Evie dressed only in a tank top and lace panties, dragged into the arena on a chain behind Doug.

The man marched Evie around the arena to the cheers of the crowd.

Fury rose in white-hot spears through Ryder. He longed to tear Doug’s head off.

Doug stood before him, a club in one hand that had spikes embedded in it and the length of chain with Evie handcuffed to the last links in the other. Brutality, bordering on madness, glinted in his eyes. His face contorted with hatred and power, he taunted Ryder.
“Look what I got for the hungry dog, a tasty little traitor—a sexy little bitch for it to feast on.” Spit flew from his twisted lips as he spoke.

Ryder flicked his gaze to Evie. She had fingerprint bruises all down each arm. Livid wheals lined her upper thighs. One of her cheekbones sported a huge bruise.

She gazed at Ryder forlornly.


Ryder lost it. He charged at Doug, barreling into the man, but all he succeeded in doing was catching a hit from the spiked club.
