Synopsis: Lola Winters’ heart already belongs to Johnny, but for him, she’d sell the devil her soul. Unfortunately, the devil wants something else.
Beau Olivier is the kind of wealthy that buys anything—even people. When he makes Lola a proposition, she finds herself tempted into a seduction that will have her walking the line between comfort and humiliation, desire and resistance. He would own her—for one night. She would be his—for a price. It was wrong. It was scandalous. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.
Sex, music, neon on the Sunset Strip—right in the middle of it all, he would have her. Come sunrise, he would let her go. At least, that was the plan.
Exceprt
On the sixteenth floor of the Four
Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, Beau and Lola exited a gold elevator.
They’d been quiet since the car. At the end of a long hallway was a single
black-lacquer door with a knob in the center. Her heart beat faster. It’d been
nine years since she’d been with a man other than Johnny. And about that long
since she’d wanted to.
When they reached the door, Beau pulled
out his key and unlocked it with a click.
Lola’s stomach was beyond butterflies—she
was sure an entire zoo had been released inside her. She stared at the doorway,
which was a threshold, a point of no return, a choice plain and simple. Sweat
beaded on her upper lip.
“It’s too late to turn back now,” Beau
said.
She didn’t look away. “Not if I give back
the money.”
Beau let the door close. “I know what
you’re doing.” He walked to her, his steps deliberate. “If I force you into
that room, then it isn’t your choice.”
“Nobody forced me here,” she said. “I
made every decision. I had to. That doesn’t make my choices right.”
“Lola,” he said. “You don’t have to put
on a show. Tonight is about you and me only. Take control of what you want.”
She glanced up at him. “You think you
know what I want?”
He moved forward until the wall was at
her back. He pushed a hand in the neckline of her dress. “You’re right,” he
said. “I have no idea what you want. Since your nipple isn’t hard between my
fingers. And you weren’t wet earlier as you sucked me off.”
“Just because you manipulate my body’s
reaction,” her voice wavered, “doesn’t mean I want this. You can’t control my
mind or my heart no matter what you say.”
His hand stilled. The muscles in his jaw
flexed. “You’re so fucking concerned about your heart? Keep it. I’ll use your
body. I won’t be gentle. And when I’m finished, you can have it back.”
He could take what he wanted. It wouldn’t
mean anything to her. It shouldn’t. But his words were even more erotic than
his touch. Her legs trembled from them, threatening to give out.
Lola tried to push him off, but he
grabbed her wrist with his free hand and pinned it above her head. “This is
what you want, isn’t it?” he asked. “For me to take your choice away? Then no
one will have to know that you want this just as badly as I do. That you wanted
it the night we met.”
She shook her head rapidly. His nearness
smothered whatever sense she had left.
“Let me help you out,” he said when she
didn’t speak. “You say, ‘Yes, Beau.’ Then I open the hotel room door. And every
time I tell you what to do, you say…”
She fixated on his bowtie, breathing hard.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Can you
speak up?” he asked.
She looked up at the sharpness of his
tone. “Yes. Yes, Beau.”
