Excerpt
"That’s the whole point of doing this trial period—to see how well we can play ball together before committing to a team-up. I’m doing my best to become friends with you, so . . .”
He tilts his head with a half smile. “Just friends? I’ve got my sights set a little higher.”
Gee, I never would have guessed, what with his constant attempts to steer the conversation toward sex.
I quirk one eyebrow in skepticism. “Friendship is all we need to pull this thing off. And we’re pretty much starting from square one . . . I would call us acquaintances, at best. Don’t you think you’re being a little overambitious?”
“Nope,” he replies, cocky smile still firmly in place.
I roll my eyes. “Wow. Your arrogance truly has no limits.”
“If I can put my money where my mouth is . . .” His lustful smirk makes it clear exactly where he’d like to put his mouth. “Then it’s not arrogance. Just confidence.”
“What makes you think I would want more with you, anyway? You aren’t exactly my type.”
I expect him to just give me a knowing look, or maybe toss back some mild innuendo. What I absolutely did not expect was, “Because I have a nine-inch cock.”
I almost choke on my martini for a third time. I splutter, “Is that number supposed to impress me?”
I give him a skeptical look. “You want to show me your dick?”
“If it’ll help convince you.” He drains the last drops of his Scotch and stands up. “Come on, let’s go.”
I stare after him as he walks away.
Is he serious? He’s just going to whip it out? I look around to see if anyone is watching me, then I get up and follow him to the bar’s back hallway, near the restrooms, unable to comprehend why the hell I’m humoring him. This is ridiculous.
Once we’re safely in a private corner, Noah undoes his belt, opens his fly . . . and pulls out a fucking fire hose.
Holy mother of God. My hands fly to my mouth. I want to gasp in shock, but there’s no way I’m giving him the upper hand.
He was right. His cock is nothing short of massive, and it’s not even fully erect right now. Nine inches may actually be a conservative estimate of what it might look like hard. He must destroy men’s egos every time he walks into a locker room. And I don’t even want to think about what he destroys with women . . .
“Meh. I’ve seen bigger,” I force out, fighting to maintain my composure.
Noah chuckles. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.”
“Well, th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer to keep my organs intact.”
Noah’s grin widens. “I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll ease it in nice and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you’ve got good health insurance, right?”
“That is not funny, Noah. Now, put that thing away or I’ll remove it.”
I try to sound stern, but my shaking voice and bright red cheeks surely give me away. Why the hell can’t I stop staring?
He chuckles—yeah, the jerk can definitely see right through me—but he obliges, tucking the beast back into its lair.
Review
Holy Cannoli, what an intriguing start to a sensational series!
Noah Tate is the man that makes women weak in the knees and plays to the playboy image everyone thinks of him, but there is more to him than what you see. His heart and soul is in the family business and he'll do anything to keep it in the family and protect the employees' livelihood. His father's will is specific and he'll rise to the occasion.
Olivia Cane once had a crush on Noah, so much that she throw herself at him so many years ago. Now though, she can't stand to be in the same room with him. So when the details of her father's and Noah's father's wills are revealed, it takes a lot of soul searching to agree to the obligations.
The more time she spends with Noah, the more she starts to understand the man behind the image. The man that her childhood crush has become, and it's getting hard to resist him. But what happens when she learns of the lasted bombshell the wills stipulate? How will she react to it? Can she handle it the implications?
Oh wow, I really loved this book. It's fun, exciting, and very seductive. I love the dynamic that Noah and Olivia have, the relationship that develops as they get to know each other better. They spent a lot of time together growing up but so much in their adult life, so seeing them reconnect is splendid.
The sexual tension that grows between Noah and Olivia is scorching. The little things they do for each other is rather touching.
And the ending? Oh my!! I can't wait to see what is going to happen in volume two!
