BOOK DESCRIPTION
When two broken souls come together, it's an exploding volcano of passion. Can they survive the intensity?
When I'm assigned to write about the football team's winning streak for our college's paper, I can't believe it. I want to write about hard hitting, thought provoking topics, not interview the biggest manwhore on campus.
And Cole James truly is an asshole, but he's also so damn sexy that it curls my toes. And there's more, something beneath the arrogant facade he presents to the world, something that calls to me, makes me ache. Makes me want to soothe his pain, kiss it all away.
Yes, he's an asshole but I have issues too. We might be each other's saviors... if we don't break each other first.
***Interview with the Bad Boy is a standalone bad boy romance with a little bit of football and a whole lot of sexy steam. No cliffhanger and a very happy ending.***
CHAPTER ONE
Becca
Pain roars through my body before exploding into an eruption of pleasure.
I groan, wanting more.
Needing more.
Craving everything.
I lay draped over strong thighs, inhaling a raw, manly scent as a callused palm soothes the flesh he just spanked. A small sound escapes my throat as the hand lifts, and I wait… wait. I can’t see, and only my ragged breathing fills my ears. The silk covering my eyes is a blessing and a curse as I anticipate his next move.
Thwap.
Sound and sensation are my entire world as his palm comes down once more, the pain morphing into a pleasure that heats my skin. I cry out as the furnace building inside me rises to meet the sting.
“What do you want, Becca?” he growls, the low, masculine tone of his voice causing something low in my belly to twist.
The hand comes down again, quick and sharp when I don’t answer fast enough.
“More, Sir,” I pant, the words tearing from my throat. “Please, more.”
Silence stretches out as I wait to discover if he will honor my request. He owns me, body and soul. I’m his to do with however he pleases.
Thwap.
My teeth sink into my bottom lip as beautiful pain gives me my answer. Then I smile. He wants to please me too.
I gasp when his fingers sink into my hair, and he wraps the long strands around his fist. He pulls, arching me, bending me backward until his lips are at my ear. Bound from wrist to elbow, my arms give me no leverage as I’m suspended at his mercy.
“I’m going to fuck you so hard you’ll feel me between your legs for days. Every time you move or even breathe, you’ll think of me.”
Even as the harsh whisper fills my awareness, his hand creeps up my thigh, the calluses scraping over sensitive skin. I whimper.
“Is that what you want, Becca?”
I don’t. I do.
“Yes, Sir. Please, Sir.”
I open my legs more, inviting him in. Pain shatters through me as his palm connects with my sore ass.
“Did I say you can move?”
“N-no, S—”
I wail as two fingers plunge inside me, twisting and curling, the knuckles sliding across my inner walls. The assault is so fast, so unexpected, so carnal and raw, I detonate, my orgasm hitting with such intensity that white explodes behind my eyes.
Then I’m up and on my feet, but not for long. As if I weigh no more than a child, he positions me on the bed, the hand in my hair shoving me down until my face hits the silk of the duvet.
“Mine,” he growls, his hand coming down again. “Understand?”
“Only yours, Sir.”
“Good girl,” he murmurs, and I smile at his praise. “Time for your reward, I believe.”
I sigh in relief as a finger trails down my slit, not stopping until he circles my aching clitoris. Pinching it between his thumb and index finger, he squeezes the swollen bud, tugging and twisting until I start to lose my mind. I’m no longer in control of my body as it spasms, and I buck and writhe, my hands digging into the mattress, the sheets balled in my fists. It’s the only thing I can hold on to with my arms bound as they are.
“So wet for me.”
I moan again, writhing face down on the bed, lifting my ass a little higher for him. He’s right. I’m always wet for him. I can feel my desire leaking down my thigh in a hot little river.
Please touch me, I silently beg. Please give me release.
He does.
Growling, he fills me with one long, hard stroke, his hips crashing into my still smarting ass as he stretches me wide, each thrust sending a new form of pain along my nervous system.
It’s everything he promised. Hard. Fast. Possessive. Passion in its purest form.
Our bodies slam together, filling the room with the brutal drum beat of our sounds. He leans over me, his sweat-slicked chest gliding over my back. Hands slide up my ribcage, then around to cup my breasts. He doesn’t break his pounding rhythm, even as he pulls and tugs my hardened nipples, twisting them until I cry out.
All I can do is grip the sheets and blindly follow where he leads me. The cliff of another orgasm approaches, and I’m powerless to do anything but fall.
“Is this what you want, Becca?”
I try to make my mouth work, try to answer, to tell him what he needs to hear.
“Becca?”
I’m falling… exploding…
“Becca!”
Needing him to…
“Becca!!”
I jerk upright, lost as the images before me dissipate, blow apart like the florets of a dandelion. Where am I? Startled, I whirl around as my name is shouted again.
Reality hits, and I’m face to face with my ex-boyfriend.
“Are you okay?” Rob asks
, and I’m torn out of my daydream as suddenly as if cold water has been dumped on my head.
Daydream?
Holy shit.
Where had it come from? Me… tied up, being spanked. No, abused. And liking it. Loving it. Craving it.
I press my thighs together. Craving it even now.
“Are you okay?” Rob asks again, and I blink, forcing myself to focus on him. My ex-boyfriend. My boss. The editor of our college newspaper, a man who is looking at me as if I’ve lost my mind.
“Sorry,” I say, feeling my cheeks heat with embarrassment, “totally zoned out for a few minutes.”
He smirks, his handsome face twisting in scorn. “Zoned out, huh. Is that what that was?”
God, how I wish this jerk had never seen me naked.
Taking a deep, calming breath, I attempt to pull us back to neutral territory. “What do you need?”
His eyes flick down to my breasts but meet mine again just as quickly. I don’t allow my expression to change, just sit patiently waiting.
“Um, oh… I’m just dropping by to see if you got my email about the new story.”
I turn to my laptop and tap the mouse pad, bringing it to life. Clicking my email, I find the message from Rob.
“Football?” I murmur as I read it. Slowly, I turn to him. “You want me to do a feature on our football team?”
The smirk returns as Rob leans his shoulder against my office door. Well, office is being generous for the six-by-six-foot cubby I use to research articles for my college’s newspaper. The janitors’ supply closet is bigger than my office.
“Is there a problem?” he asks, ogling my breasts again. “Or are you suddenly too important to cover our football team’s winning streak?” The way he phrases the question makes it not really a question at all. He knows this isn’t the sort of assignment I want.
I stare up at Rob, my thoughts churning. Sure, it’s stupid to sleep with my boss; dangerous for my future too. His father owns the big paper in town I want to work for when I graduate. Fat chance of that after I broke up with Daddy’s little boy. In addition to sabotaging my career, our breakup makes the job I once loved a living hell. Where I used to write thought provoking editorials and front-page stories for my college, I’m now relegated to fluff pieces and lifestyle articles on where to get the best mani-pedi. I’m not dumb. I know it’s because we aren’t together anymore.
But football?
I sigh. In reality, it isn’t that bad of a story, and I know it’ll end up at least on the second page, maybe even the front. The students love their football heroes, after all. Sure, it beats covering the cat show that’s coming to town next week, but I don’t relish talking to some meathead jock, not when I’m passionate about politics and in-depth investigative reporting.
I pick up my pencil. “Well, tell me about this quote-unquote winning streak.”
As Rob rattles off percentages and win-loss averages, I take notes, but most of what he’s saying means nothing to me. And the bastard knows it. He knows I don’t like sports. He knows I don’t like arrogant players. This entire assignment is motivated by childish revenge, I’m sure of it.
“On top of that,” he continues, “the quarterback is on track to break some records this year. He has a .628 completion percentage so far this season with nineteen completions per game.”
What the hell does that mean?
“On top of that, he passes almost two-hundred yards per game, and the mother can run, rushing close to seventy-five yards most games.”
That doesn’t seem like much. And where is he rushing to?
“The guy’s a beast, scoring nearly two touchdowns per game himself.”
Isn’t that what he’s supposed to do?
Rob barks out a sound that could have been a laugh. “Why am I telling you all this, Bec? It’s your story. You research it. I can’t hand feed you everything.”
I stifle the growl burning in my throat, swallowing it down to answer in my sweetest voice, “Yes, I’m an excellent researcher and an excellent investigative reporter, if you’ll remember from the time I was actually assigned anything newsworthy.”
He narrows his eyes at me, another reminder of why I had to end our relationship. His arrogance.
Our breakup took place a few months ago, after a year-long relationship. It wasn’t ugly, but I could tell he was pissed and disappointed, and that he clearly didn’t understand. Rob not understanding things is a big part of the reason the breakup happened in the first place. At least, it’s part of the reason. There’s more I just couldn’t tell him. A lot more. Things I couldn’t admit to myself. The breakup took him by surprise, but for me, it had been a long time coming.
I break eye contact with him and stare back at the email, feeling dread and annoyance squeeze around me, tighten my throat. Rob even used his old pet name for me. Bec. It doesn’t matter that I’ve asked him to refer to me as Becca now that we’re no longer we. Rob does what he wants. I just wish he wanted to assign me a really important story.
Rob shrugs and pulls on the sleeves of a preppy-assed sweater that probably cost more than I make in a week. Good looking and clean cut, he comes from a wealthy family. Beside him, I’ve always felt second class, and he never seems to take me seriously.
“I’d like this by the end of next week so that it comes out a week before homecoming.” With that, he walks away, leaving the spicy scent of his expensive cologne in his leather loafered wake.
Slumping in my desk chair, I sigh loudly and try to think of how I can turn this article into something more important than fluffing the team’s ego, which is clearly what this is. Sure, even if it makes the front-page and is better than the fluff I’ve been writing, this is how these stories usually go. I don’t expect to get any hard-hitting, political articles in my small university paper, but I want to at least feel like I’m being challenged.
I shoot off a quick email, thanking Rob for the story as I’d forgotten to do that while he was standing at my door. I try not to roll my eyes too hard. I hate being disingenuous, but again, it isn’t a story I can turn down. And I refuse to let his bad manners affect mine. Closing my eyes, I rub my temples. He’s testing me.
I go to my Friday morning classes, jogging across Syracuse’s sprawling campus, and try to put my failed relationship and story deadline out of my mind. I need to focus. I have some big tests coming up, but all I can think about is how annoyed I am. I don’t have an angle for the story, and it’s eating at me.
The rest of the day slips out of my fingers like smoke as I think about it all. I’m about to cave and ask Rob if he has a specific angle he wants for the story when an idea comes to me.
I’ll do a focus piece on the quarterback. Whoever that is.
After class, I go back to the paper’s office and do a quick search of the archives to make sure a story hasn’t already been written about the quarterback. There have been several articles interviewing the coach and a few of the other players, but nothing other than a scant few quotes from Cole James.
A twenty-two-year-old senior from rural Tennessee, Cole was the star of his small town’s football team and received a full athletic scholarship. His image stares back at me from my laptop screen. Gorgeous. Clear, baby blue eyes are framed by a heavy brow and square jaw. He’s smiling in the picture, flashing dimples, and I’m suddenly thinking about my X-rated daydream from this morning.
I cross my legs, but the friction only makes heat rise to my cheeks before trailing a winding path to my core. I need to focus and try to laugh this off, but I’m aroused… really aroused, I realize with a sigh.
He doesn’t look like the guys I usually date. I prefer educated men. Older men. Though lately, I’ve been too busy to date. Not that I’m short on male attention; I’m short on time. I’m trying to get all my basics out of the way so I can move on to my major, journalism. Men just aren’t my passion, but writing is.
My best friend, Mia, is always saying that I’m a twenty-one-year-old fuddy-duddy, much to
o serious for my age. But I’d gotten a late start with school and feel like I’m playing catch-up all the time. First with my classes, and now with the stories I want to write.
Seriously… football?
I huff. Nothing front-line about that.
It often surprises people when I tell them my ambitions of being an investigative journalist, and that I want to be on the front lines of the action. When people look at me, I know what they see. A good girl. Vanilla. Pretty and young, but naive. They can’t be more wrong. I just don’t have the desire to explain myself. Not to people who judge me too quickly. I don’t owe anyone anything, which is what I told Rob when I broke it off.
Letting out a long breath, I try to put it out of my mind and focus on my computer screen again, which is a mistake.
Wow.
Cole James may be the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. Reaching out a finger, I trace the square line of his jaw, then snatch it back. What the hell am I doing? Creaming over some football jock I don’t even know?
Starting to feel like an internet stalker, I close the picture and click out of the archives, then stare at the ocean sunset picture on my screen. Hmm… that beach would be the perfect place to have sex with Cole James. Would he like it rough like the guy in my dream?
Gah!
I slam the laptop shut and press the heels of my hands into my eyes.
Think, Becca. With your head and not with your vagina.
Lowering my hands, I reach for pen and paper and begin to jot down notes. First thing first, I need to find the quarterback. How in the hell do I find the quarterback?
Inspiration strikes, and I pull out my phone, tapping my best friend’s number.
“Hey, Becca.” Mia’s happy voice makes me smile.
“Need some information. Is this a good time?”
“If good time means saving me from studying, it’s an awesome time. Whatcha need?”
I give her a brief summary of the story I need to write.
“Mmm… Cole James is incredibly yummy.”
I’m surprised by the flicker of jealousy that hits me and ignore it. “He’s probably also an incredibly giant dick.”
Mia laughs. “Well, I’ve heard he has a giant dick.”
