Written Together
by Wendi Zwaduk
Genre: Contemporary Erotic
Romance (BDSM)
What if the woman he
needs is the one he thought was out of his league?
Adam Pallas knows what
he wants out of life—to teach history, to be happy and to have a hot woman by
his side. He’s got one out of the three. He should be happy, but he’s not.
There’s one woman who grabs his attention every time. The catch? She’s very
much out of his league. Can being himself actually snag him the woman of his
dreams?
Melissa Murphy isn’t
looking for love, but every time she sees Adam her plans go sideways. The
English teacher knows there’s a confident, hot man hiding behind the slightly
nerdy history buff façade. But her past and the things she wants between the
sheets tend to scare men off. She believes the odds may be stacked against
them. Could it be their lives are perfectly written together after all?
Excerpt
Her thoughts drifted to Adam. He tried so hard to please
people and deserved a happy ending. The image of him when he’d stood up before
the run remained in her brain. She shouldn’t be thinking about the outline of
his junk in those shorts, but damn. He sure seemed to be packing. She liked the
way she felt in his arms, too. The right height, the right build…and his smile.
He’d brought up her ex. Thinking about Kevin set her teeth on edge. Smug
bastard. He always seemed to think he knew the right thing to say and do.
Except he didn’t know a damn thing.
“You look lost in serious thought.” Adam stood in her doorway. “You okay?”
She jerked in her seat. “I didn’t hear you.” This time she blushed. “I’m fine.”
He nodded once, then folded his arms. For the first time, she noticed the muscle definition in his biceps. Given a tight T-shirt and jeans, he’d be darned hot. She shivered. Real hot.
“We’ve got a meeting in ten. Dennis wanted to introduce the new teachers. We just have to fill the space.”
“You don’t need the word just.” She took her glasses off the top of her head and stood, then stretched. “It’s redundant.”
“Thank you, Miss Murphy.” He unfolded himself. “Do I need to do time in detention?”
Man, did he know how to read her without even realizing he could. She crossed the room and stood face-to-face with him. “Mr. Pallas, are you coming on to me?”
The tips of his ears burned, but the grin deepened. “Yes, I believe I was. Is it working?”
“It is.”
