She stared at the closed door and felt her hands tighten into fists at her sides. Damn man! She took a step forward and started banging on the heavy wood, her skin feeling bruised not long after. “James! Open the fucking door!”
It whooshed open a second later, revealing an angry man with hurt-filled eyes. “What? And since when do you swear?”
“Since you’ve made me so damn angry!” She stormed past him and came to stand in the middle of the consoles. “You didn’t let me respond to your tirade, didn’t you realize?”
“So what? I told you, I need some time to myself. How much clearer can I be?”
“At least give me the right to respond!”
“Why?” He crossed his arms over his chest and stared back at her. “By the way, have you looked at yourself? Couldn’t you even put something on before chasing after me?”
She gritted her teeth when she realized he was right. She’d been so upset she’d forgotten all about her state of undress. Taking a deep breath and praying it was all true, she retorted, “Who cares? You’ve seen it all after all.”
James’s mouth gaped open. “What the hell? Who are you?”
Chloe’s eyebrow rose. “Who am I? I’m your PA. Remember? I was under you an hour ago?”
“Chloe!” He hurried to her and grabbed her shoulders in both hands, shaking her back and forth. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?”
“Because you’re driving me nuts, that’s why!”
“What? Why?”
“You’re not letting me speak for one!”
“Then talk!”
She took a deep breath and blurted it out, “I love you too, you dumbass!”
Chapter Ten: In The Open
“You do?”
“Yes!” Her hands were clutched so tight she could feel her nails digging into her palms. “I’ve been in love with you for years.”
“You have?” Chloe nodded back at him, wondering what to do. He appeared in shock and she just didn’t know if that was good news or not. He had told her he loved her first after all. But then…“Fuck,” James growled just before he grabbed her hands and pulled her forward so fast she bounced against his chest.
“J!”
“Kiss me. Just shut up and kiss me.”
He could have said that in a more romantic way, she thought as he claimed her lips. Their tongues met, sparks flew and before she knew it, she was clinging to him.
He pulled her down to the carpeted floor, the whirs of the consoles around them merging to create strange background music.
“I love you, Chloe,” he repeated as he made her lie down and moved on top of her.
Her thighs automatically spread open under his weight, her legs tangling around his. “J…” she sighed as he nuzzled her neck.
“I’m so happy I feel as if I could burst,” he whispered against her skin.
Chloe closed her eyes as tears threatened. She’d never believed this day would come. Oh, she’d imagined the scene countless of times in her mind but this was it and it was incredible. James loved her! He really did! “I love you.”
He moved until their mouths merged into one once again. His hands traced the edge of her bra, her breasts hardening against the silky material.
Her hips started to thrust back as she felt his erection against her core. She wanted him. So much. So as soon as he drew back, she told him.
“Fuck, baby, you’re going to kill me,” he replied, his eyes wild. He quickly unclasped her bra and dragged it off. Then he stopped short. “Is that okay?”
She blinked. Was he kidding? “Yes!”
“Oh, good, good. It’s just…it’s still daylight and you’re nearly naked.”
“Oh,” she said, taken aback. He was right. She hadn’t even noticed!
“Sorry! Forget I said anything!” He quickly went back to his earlier task, too scared she’d want to stop while he was feeling he could burst any second now.
“It’s okay, J.” She caressed his hair with tentative fingers.
He gave a quick lick to her left nipple and looked up. “It is?”
“Yes.” She nodded. And to prove it, she pushed him off her and sat up. Before he could even guess what she was going to do, she pulled her panties down her legs and threw them somewhere behind them. Then she lied back down on the floor and motioned him over.
“God.” He gulped. “That’s the sexiest thing I’ve seen in a long while.”
The reverence in his voice and the heat in his eyes transformed her into someone worthy of him. He really thought she was sexy, she could see it in the way his body reacted. And for the first time, she believed it herself.
He loved every part of her body with his hands, his mouth, his tongue. She was panting by the time he pushed into her, a groan rising in her throat. The carpet burned her back and shoulders as he began thrusting but she couldn’t care less. She held onto his shoulders and gazed into his eyes, love blossoming between them as if it’d always been there.
And maybe it had…
They came back to themselves when the cold air hit their feverish skin. James was lying on his back, his hand slowly caressing her hair as she snuggled against his side.
“J?”
“Yes, baby?”
“Are you okay?”
He smiled at the world. “I’m just fine.”
“What about your cravings?”
“Oh, I’m pretty sure they’re gone.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” He twisted until he was looking at her face. “I think my idea of swapping cigarettes for you was brilliant. How do you feel about being my last vice?” He pressed a soft kiss to her lips and smiled down at her.
Love brightened his eyes and she smiled back. She’d never seen him so at peace and she realized everything was all right for the first time in forever. “Your last vice?”
“Yes, you, me and some interesting positions.” He smirked as he pulled her up until she was straddling him. “And love.”
“Don’t forget love,” she murmured as she bent down, their mouths nearly touching.
“Never,” he replied before kissing her.

By Emma Hillman
Mia Adams keeps bumping into her fantasy. Literally. From crashing her car into his to ramming his shopping cart at their local supermarket, each encounter brings her closer to the man she’s always dreamed of: Kevin McIntyre, a former pro football player with an attitude and a propensity for swearing.
He seems perpetually angry but she has to admit the look suits him. She’s pretty sure experience makes perfect too because the man has some serious skills. Let’s just say she’s been screaming his name a lot lately. Although, sometimes, it’s to shout at his disappearing back. She shouldn’t care, however, that he doesn’t seem to remember her name or that he keeps leaving as soon as he gets what he wants. They’re just having some fun after all.
Then why is he inviting her to his house? Did he change the rules and forget to tell her about it? The sex must have gone to his head, there is just no other explanation.

Excerpt From LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION:
She gas
ped, her finger slipping out of her mouth with a wet sound. “What is it? Did you find them?”
“No!” He turned back to the desk and clasped its edges with both hands. He willed his erection down but he couldn’t get her out of his head. She was messing with his mind, damn it! “Did you spike my drink?”
“What?” She sat up. “You think I drugged you?”
“Yes!” He whirled around. “You did, didn’t you? What did you put in my Coke? GHB?”
“Man, you are crazy.”
“What did you do?” he roared as he grabbed her armrests and loomed over her. “Tell me!”
“Nothing! And don’t you think you’d be feeling impaired right now if I’d put something in your drink? You drank it down in one gulp!”
He pushed himself upright and started pacing. She made sense, damn it! He was feeling fine, except from the way his jeans were tenting. So maybe she wasn’t at fault there. Maybe it was just his body’s way of reminding him he hadn’t had sex in a while. Why now though?
He’d told her the truth earlier: she wasn’t his type. He usually went for the long-limbed, fake-tanned-and-boobed women that seemed to always be around football players. Groupies, bunnies, whatever they called themselves. He didn’t care as long as they were hot and ready to fall in his bed.
But this woman was different. She wasn’t thin or tanned. Oh, she was curvy as hell and her ass was round just like he liked them. He could definitely do something with that ass. Oh yeah. Fuck, McIntyre, get a grip! She was crazy! He didn’t need the aggravation, that was for sure.
She watched him rake his hand through his hair. He looked agitated and angry and just plain hot. God, she loved this look on him.
Hearing her sigh, he turned to face her and spotted her half-closed eyes. “What now?”
“Mmm?” She blinked. “I was just thinking how hot you look when you’re angry.”
He felt his teeth snap together. She was unbelievable! “So you like it when I get angry?” His voice was deceptively soft.

MAN FRAME
by Emma Hillman
Lucy loves her new neighbor. One, because he’s seriously hot; and two, because he leaves his window open while getting himself off. What she doesn’t know however is that Nate can see her too. Every evening, he watches her undress, the blue film covering her window not enough to mask her silhouette. He’s already half in lust with her body and that’s before he knows what she looks like, apart from her round breasts and even rounder ass.
Things accelerate when Nate takes matters into his own hands and invites her to his condo. It was only supposed to be some fun between two consenting adults but suddenly there’s another man with them. A man who’s invited himself to the party and who seems to really enjoy looking at her. Rodrigo likes it even more when he’s touching her, making her lose control in a way she’s never experienced before.
He’s not duped though. He can see how his best friend is acting with her. There could be something good between these two and he pushes them further and further, until…

A THIN LINE
by Emma Hillman
Kate finds herself locked up in her apartment building’s laundry room. It’s the middle of the night and there’s a man with her. Which would be the great start of a horror movie, except this is real and thankfully the man isn’t that bad. Actually, he’s quite nice. Oh, and hot. He’s a neighbor she’s seen a few times, the playboy with the golden looks. And as they find themselves sitting increasingly closer in an effort not to freeze to death, hands bump into parts of her body that haven’t been touched in years.
It could have stopped at that: one night of pleasure, albeit in a weird location. Except it doesn’t. Even though she knows Jace has another girlfriend, she still opens her door to him every night. He is addictive. And sometimes, he’s even nice. But what happens when the drama finally takes its toll and she bars her door to him?
