His Every Fantasy
Page 25
Her mind reeled. The amount he proposed was ridiculous. And tempting, despite the fact she knew she’d have to refuse. “Why me?”
“Why not?” His gaze crawled down her body slowly, and then flicked back to meet hers. He gave a careless shrug, but the hand still cupping her elbow squeezed. “You’ll do.”
Her gaze narrowed. She was glad he’d done that. Sized her up like a meal. Anger flushed through her, replacing the tingling awareness and sickening fear with something sturdier. She jerked away her arm. “I’ll need a day.” She could take forever. The answer would still be no.
“Take two. I’ll be leaving shortly for a platform on the gulf. When I return, I’ll send around a car.”
“You’ll need my number. My address.”
“I’ll find you.” At her widened glance, he shrugged. “It’s a small town.” He gave her a smile, and then bowed his head and turned.
Tilly watched his tall, straight back saunter away, and wondered if there was any possibility he knew what she’d found.
If he’d come back to avenge Celeste’s death, he’d picked the perfect person to begin with.

For fans of Sylvia Day and E. L. James, comes New York Times bestselling author Delilah Devlin’s first book in her sensual erotic romance Sultry Summer Nights series.
A Sultry Summer Nights Novel
The moment Tilly Floret sees the sleek Bentley driving down Main Street, she knows trouble has arrived in her sleepy little town. A mysterious job posting keeps appearing at the diner where she works, and she can’t resist applying. No matter that the entire town of Bayou Vert is whispering about the wealthy, powerful man behind it all and his scandalous return home. The moment his ice-blue eyes meet hers, he ignites an all-consuming desire she never imagined possible, one she can’t deny.
Ex–navy SEAL Boone Benoit never thought he’d set foot in Louisiana again. As soon as Tilly starts her new job in his pleasure club, he senses a kindred soul. One who has carefully guarded secrets of her own—and a simmering hunger for the taboo rites of mastery and submission. The only difference is she doesn’t yet know it. Now as Boone tutors Tilly in the tantalizing world of leather and lace, she will shed her every inhibition and surrender to him, body and soul.

As a gifted opera singer, Allegra Orsini’s only obsession is music—until she meets him.

She craves Davison’s touch—his possession—endlessly. Even though every fiber of her being is telling her to stay away, that it’s best for both of them, she can’t. As his passion consumes her, Allegra can no longer deny Davison’s hold on her. He’ll never let her go. But as much as she wants him, Allegra can’t surrender to his love—not until she faces a painful secret from her past that could destroy them both…
