TAKING WHAT’S HIS
by Diane Alberts
Book Summary
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Some lines are meant to be crossed...
One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham from
ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he's still not over it. So when the
cute little strawberry blonde at the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can't
resist the temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she's blown
his mind...and then skipped out the next morning.
Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite that far, but
oh, it was worth it. After being far too good for way too long, she was ready
to be bad. Except that there's that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself-Holt
just spent the night doing naughty things...with his best friend's little
sister.
One night isn't nearly enough. But with his friendship on the line, how
far will Holt go in order to claim what's his?

Excerpt
FOUR
Her heart picked up speed, but she wasn't sure what from—the
desire his dominant words brought out in her, or the intimidation that he’d
managed to hold over her head.
He was good. “Why
are you dangerous?”
“Why would you think I wasn't?” His fingers skimmed over her
cleavage. Her neckline was chaste and high, so he had to dip his fingers under
her shirt to do so. “I went to that bar, looking for a good fuck, like always,
and you sat next to me. That makes me opportunistic, but it doesn't make me a
good guy.”
She lifted her chin. “I came looking for the same thing. I
sat next to you for a reason.” Liar,
liar, pants on fire. She hadn't, but then she’d seen him. She couldn't
think of a better guy to spend the night with than Holt. “So...there.”
“I don’t believe you. You said your boyfriend of two months
broke up with you because you didn't put out.” He gripped the tip of her chin,
latching onto her gaze. “That tells me you don’t jump into bed with just any guy.
You don’t even know me. And yet, here we are, and you’re ready to fuck me
without a second thought. I’m not usually one to question such things, but with
you...I am. I want to know you’re certain.”
“I didn't sleep with him, no.” Her cheeks heated, and she
pressed her thighs together. It was on the tip of her tongue to admit who she
was to him, and why that made her more comfortable to take a chance on him, but
she didn't want to risk it. “That doesn't mean I don’t want to do it with you,
though.”
“Why?”
“You make me want to. Okay?” She blew out a frustrated
breath. “You make me want you, so I’m going to take you. Is that such a
horrible thing? Does there need to be
more?”
His grip on her hands flexed, and he slipped his thigh in
between hers. His mouth pressed against her pulse, sending her BPM through the
roof. “Nope. But, squeezing your hot little legs together won’t make your pussy
feel better. You need me for that.”
