Damian (The Caine Brothers #3) (14 page)

Terrell looked up from the tangle of limbs, “Hey beast. How’s it hanging?”

“It’s not.”

Terrell glanced down at Damian’s pants then back up, a bright grin on his face. “You’d better do something about that.”

“I’m trying,” Damian said through gritted teeth.

Elena popped her head in and grinned. “Hey Hung. Looks like you hit the jackpot.”

The brunette said, “Other way around, Elena.”

“Okay, we’re outta here. Clean up before you leave,” Elena called over her shoulder as she hauled Damian out of the room. “Follow me, hotshot.”

She led him to the end of the hall and into her room. Thank God it was empty.

Once inside, he pushed her against the door and crushed his lips to her. He pressed his body to hers, trapping her against the door and ravishing her mouth. He could never get enough of her. Just when he thought, okay, I’m sated, all it took was another look at her and he needed her again. Talk about prisoner of desire. Sometimes he wanted her so badly it hurt.

“Get that dress off,” he said as he worked the buttons of his shirt, practically ripping the damn thing to get it off.

“I can’t reach the back.” She contorted her arms around her back as proof.

By now he had his pants undone. He let them drop the floor and kicked them away. “It didn’t occur to you to wear something easy to get out of? I’m ready to just tear the damn thing off you,” he growled. He stalked toward her, but the look on her face made him stop in his tracks. “What?”

She swallowed hard, her eyes wide, dark pools of desire. “I will never get tired of seeing that naked body. Holy shit, you’re gorgeous”

“And I’m all yours.”

“Damn straight, you are.”

He couldn’t wait for her to get out of the dress. They had the rest of the night and a two-week honeymoon they could spend rolling around naked in bed or wherever else they wanted. For now, he just wanted to be inside her.

Bracketing her waist with his hands, he pushed her to the bed, picked her up and threw her onto her back. He stood over her, fists on his hips and cock standing hard and tall. “You better not be wearing anything under that dress.”

Her gaze crawled up and down his body as real as a caress, leaving gooseflesh in its wake, but then she licked her lips and waggled her brows as she inched the dress up her legs in a slow reveal.

When the hem floated up past her naked pussy he just about shot his wad where he stood. Then something happened he hadn’t expected—his throat tightened and he had to swallow hard past a wave of emotion that almost brought him to his knees. She was his. She loved him, and wanted him. How had he got so lucky?

“You’re drooling,” she said, a wicked look in her eyes.

“Cocky much?” he asked climbing over the top of her.

“On no, hotshot, that’s your job,” she said reaching down to wrap her fingers around his cock. “Now, bring it…”

He had a billion reasons to be happy…until he met her. Then only one reason mattered.

When Hunter Caine takes over the CEO position at his father’s multi-billion dollar real estate development company, he also inherits his father’s sexy blonde personal assistant, Allison McDowell.

Allison doesn’t appreciate being passed around like property, but when she meets Hunter, sparks fly. Sure, he’s gorgeous, but if Hunter’s anything like his misogynistic father, Allison’s ready to resign.

Hunter’s considering the purchase of a resort in Costa Rica. It’s currently a couples-only resort, so he asks Allison to go undercover with him, posing as newlyweds. Allison’s skeptical, but it’s a free trip to Costa Rica, and Hunter’s easy on the eyes, so why not?

Those sparks turn into raging hot flames as Hunter and Allison explore the resort—and each other—and discover that what happens in Costa Rica may or may not actually stay in Costa Rica.

Falling for the daughter of his sworn enemy means making a choice between passion and peace.

When Xander Caine administers a little biker justice to a wife-beating scumbag from the rival Ravagers, he and his fellow Huntsmen walk a fine line between keeping the peace and breaking a long-standing truce.

Showing up at the Huntsmen’s tavern to confirm the job’s been done turns into an episode of hot—anonymous—sex when Gracie runs into the irresistible Xander. Horrified, Gracie bolts, only to run into him again—leading to more anonymous sex—at a local bike rally. The bigger problem is the instant—and deeper—connection that haunts them both. Once they finally reveal their identities, their fates are sealed.

The Huntsmen-Ravagers feud is the stuff of legends, and finally reaches a tipping point when the rivals learn of Xander and Gracie’s relationship, leading to an epic battle in the middle of the rally. When the dust settles the landscape of both clubs looks vastly different, but Xander and Gracie are determined to stand together in peace and celebrate their star-crossed passion.
