Book Excerpt
I found
myself wanting to impress him, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. He was
a client, not my boyfriend. I resented him for it, and irrationally, I wanted
to hate him. At the end of the day, I’d always be what I was, and he’d always
be him. We were two different people from very different walks of life. It was
ignorant to think otherwise.
I grabbed
my purse and flew down the stairs to meet Vince outside. I wanted to get the
date over with so I could come home and sulk. Alone.
I opened
the door, and was surprised to see Flynn standing on my steps instead of Vince.
He looked peeved, and that just set my back tight and defensive.
“It’s
past five.”
I pressed
my lips together and bit my tongue. I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself,
but that was the last thing I needed to do. He’d paid to fuck me, or not fuck
me if things went the same direction as the last time we met. So, instead, I
took a deep breath, relaxed my hips, and gave him Jayne’s winning smile.
“Beauty
takes effort, Mr. Maguire. I wanted to look special. Just for you.”
His eyes
danced. He gave me a quick glance, up and down, and then cocked his lips into a
small smile.
“You do
look beautiful, as always, Miss King.”
He held his
arm out for me, and I tucked my hand into his elbow, tightening my grip as he
turned to walk down the steps. I could feel the muscles underneath his coat,
and the warmth from his body sent shivers up and down my spine.
I looked
side to side, hoping to spot Vince. I wanted to make sure our plan was still in
place without Flynn catching on.
“Your
friend is waiting in his vehicle across the street.”
I laughed
nervously. “He’s protective. It’s just a precaution.”
He hummed
but didn’t comment. Collins opened the door for us and stepped aside while
Flynn helped me inside. Sliding across the leather seats, I noticed right away
that Flynn’s scent permeated the space. Delicious and spicy.
He moved
in next to me and immediately threw his arm over the back of the leather seat,
letting it settle on my shoulder. I moved in closer, enjoying the way it felt
to be tucked under his arm.
I liked
the way he took charge. It wasn’t so much arrogance as it was confidence. There
was something very attractive about a man that knew what he wanted. It was even
better when he took it.
Once the
car began to move, Flynn turned sideways, facing me. I smiled at him, batted my
lashes a bit, and adjusted myself so I could see him better. He was so
devastatingly handsome. The line of his jaw was cut so sharp, and the smooth
skin of his lips was so inviting.
I’d had
my share of handsome men, but there was something so raw about his beauty,
something wild. It danced in his eyes and played in his smile. There was
darkness underneath, but I could definitely see some tenderness in him.
He was a
player, same as me. His game was different, but not by much. He was well known
for the high-stakes card games he played, a proud member of the Millionaire’s
club. He may have been born into money, but he probably never had to touch it.
A night at a table would set him ahead for years.
That was
sexy to me. He was smart, a challenge. Pretty boys with brains were hard to
come by, and it was refreshing to have someone that I could actually have a
conversation with.
