No-nonsense businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He's headed to Connecticut for the weekend to attend his cousin's elaborate wedding. His whole family will be there in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer's brother, Ava has been telling her friends she's planning a magical reunion with her favorite ex-boyfriend.

He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the cash.

It was just supposed to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under the stars, and attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the illusion end when the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning?

Q&A with Spencer Cannon

I convinced Spencer to sit down and answer some questions to commemorate the sale of The Weekend Proposition. ​I hope you enjoy it as much I did.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First off, thank you for agreeing to this interview. I know how much you dislike things like this.

     Spencer: You are more than welcome, my dear. You know I can I never say no to you. Besides, sitting here on the couch with you is always an enjoyable experience for me.

Always the charmer! We have had lots of fun over these last 16 months. 

     I'll say. I think one of the best things to come out of all this is watching you get utterly possessive over me.

Guilty as charged! It's just, I know how great you are and therefore, I'm unwilling to share! I do try to confine it to the Team Ella group page, they seem to let me get away with it.

     For the record, I am forever entertained by your jealousy. You are just too cute for words.

Thanks, I'll be here all week. How about we get this interview started?

     Only because I do love you, let's get started!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First question, what annoys you most?

     Brody Callahan! I mean, seriously? The readers love me more, but he's Ella's favorite?

Yes, we all know how Ella feels; get over it. Now, will you please answer the question. 

     Commercials. Commercials annoy me.

Oh dear. I know that's not true since you are in advertising.

     Okay, okay. Stop glaring at me like that, you know you can't stay mad at me.

True, but can we get back to topic at hand so we can go do something fun! 

     Oh I like the sound of that! Hmm... I would have to say fake people annoy me. You know, the ones that are nice to your face, but stab you in the back the minute you turn around. Someone that pretends to have your best interest at heart, but really doesn't. I really don't have time for people like that. Luckily I have several around me that I can trust. 

What is your most treasured possession?

     Coda!

Other than Coda.

     You!

Boy, you're on a roll today! So, other than myself and Coda?

     I would have to say my father's music. I enjoy his classic collection, but I treasure those pieces he wrote himself. Playing those makes me feel like he's still here. 

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

     Skip.
No, you can't skip it.
     Yes I can. The readers must believe I'm perfect and it will not due to have them perceive that I may have some minor defect.
It's not a defect and we all have things we would want change about ourselves. Anyway, you are far from prefect, my love.
     Fine, have it you're way. Wait, what do you mean I'm not perfect?
No one is perfect.
     I think you are.
Thank you, but I'm not.
     Well, to me you are.
And this is why I love you so. Now let's back to the subject at hand.
     Yes ma'am. Happy now?
Yes, very.
     If I had to change one thing, not that I would mind you, would be...
Your stubbornness?
     Look who's talking... The Queen of Stubbornness.
Let's move on to the next question, I see this will lead to nothing but trouble.
     Yes, let's.


Do you think Ella portrayed you accurately?
     No!
What? Why not?
     Simple, if she had, then I would be her favorite.
Oh dear, let's not go there.... again!
     You asked.
Okay, other than not being her favorite, do you think she portrayed you accurately?
     Well, other than that sore subject, I would say yes. It got you to fall in love with me, so I'd say she did a spectacular job.
I would have to agree; she did a pretty great at capturing you.
     Awe shucks, thanks Sugar.
Now that is laying it on thick!

If you could have lived in another decade which would it have been?
     I'm pretty happy with where I am now. I've got the company, family, friends, Coda and you. What more could a guy ask for?
Perfect answer.
     What no commentary?
Not when you say the right thing.
     So noted. 


​What were the last three books you read?​
     I plead the fifth.
Huh? Why?
     I may or may not have snagged your kindle when you weren't looking. But in my defense, you have some of the best books on there. Seriously, some of those are even released yet.
Likely story, I'm sure. So, what exactly did you, hypothetically, read?
     Hypothetically speaking, I would have read Ella's Sliding Into Second because I had to check out the competition.
I did enjoy that one; Nic is pretty enchanting if you ask me.
     Not that I would ask, but overall, I guess he's okay.
Just okay?
     Must we really have a discussion about him? It's bad enough I saw your facial expressions while you read it, and let's just say I wasn't pleased.
But Nic is just so yummy. What's not to love?
     Moving on... I, hypothetically, read Confessions of a Chocoholic by London Saint James, which to truly decadent and I now know why you bought all that chocolate. 
I just adore London, wait until you read her new one.
     Oh the one based Peter Pan?
That's the one, Rise of the Lost Prince. Although what I am really looking forward to is the one about Ryker!
     I must move this conversation away from the Cage Brothers before I start to suspect you like them better than the Cannon Brothers.
Like that would ever happen. I have you reminding me, daily, how great the Cannon Brothers are.
     Guilty as charged, but you love it.
Yes, yes I do. So, what is the third book?
     I may have delved into the Submission Series by Roxy Sloane.
Are you telling me you got to know Cam?
     Let's just say, my admiration of Roxy just grew.
Another words, you liked this series?
     Heck Yeah! Those were very tantalizing to say the least.
Those are all very good books you chose to hypothetically read. You do know that I could get in trouble for letting you read books that aren't released yet. I think some sort of punishment is in order for you snooping.
     Whoa, let's not get hasty here. Besides, we all know that you are the one that likes spankings.
How about we finish this conversation after this interview?
     I see that gleam in your eyes, so yes, let's finish this topic later.


How about a couple of fun questions now. What is your favorite color?
     Pink!
Very funny.
     You mean to tell me that pink isn't my favorite color?
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying.
     But have you seen the amount of pink we have in this house?
Of course I have.
     So if pink isn't my favorite color, then why is there just so much pink round?
You know darn well that pink is MY favorite color and it's not all over the house.
     Ohhhh..... that explains it.
You're lucky your cute.
     Thank you. Thank you very much.
So, please tell your fans YOUR favorite color.
     Since you put it that way, green. And before you ask, there is no reason why. I just like it.


Okay, then what is your favorite scent?
     Pure Tiffany
Talk about random. Why?
     It's what you wear.
Seriously?
     You don't wear that?
I do. What I mean, is that seriously your favorite.
     Yes. Why? I'll go smell it when I'm stressed and/or having a bad day and it just puts me in a happy place. It reminds me how lucky I am to have you in my life. 
You really do amaze me sometimes.
     Right back at ya Babe.


What is your favorite item of clothing?
     Let's not go there.
Why not?
     My answer is not appropriate.
Oh?
     How about I show you later when we finish our conversation from before?
Show and tell? Deal on!


Let's make this the last one.
     Perfect.
It's a serious one.
     Hit me.
If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be?
     I would...
Wait, let me put a stipulation on that... It cannot have anything to do with Brody or Something More.
     Why?
A - We've already established your resentment at Brody being Ella's favorite. B - I'm ready to go finish that other conversation!
     Great points, especially that last one.
So with that in mind, what is the one thing you would change?
     Can I do two things?
If you must.
     Indeed, I must.
Then let's have it.
     First thing I would like to change is finally having a cure for MS, multiple sclerosis. Coda's mom is such a vibrate woman and having to watch her deteriorate is heartbreaking. She is good for now, but some days are harder than others. 
Second thing?
     Second thing I would like to change would be never having Alzheimer's disease exist. Having to watch someone you love forget you and ultimately giving up their will to live, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Standing by your side while this disease takes those you love makes me feel useless; I don't like it. The best I feel I can do for you is holding you while you cry. 
I can't fault you for either.


Well now that you've made me cry, I think it's time to end this interview.
     Sounds good to me, but you know, I didn't purposely set out to make you cry.
Yes, I know.
How about any last parting words?
     Buy my book! I want to thank all those that have already purchased my book, I cannot express my eternal gratitude. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for? It's a steal this month, so run, don't walk, and pick it up today.
Anything else?
     Buy my brother's book, The Weekend Surprise. You'll thank me later.
Always the sales man. Is that all?
     One more. I'd like to thank Ella Jade. She brought my story to life and for that, I'm forever appreciative.
Yes, I can never thank her enough.
     She can also make me her favorite, I wouldn't mind.
I'm sure you wouldn't, but don't push your luck.
     A guy can dream can't he.
And on that note, thank you Spencer. It's been fun!
     Yes it has. Now let's go finish our other conversation in the bedroom! 
And that, as they say, is all folks!

Review

It is no secret about my love for Ella Jade or The Weekend Proposition, so when I heard there was going to be a sequel, I was over the moon!!

Spencer Cannon's little brother Tyler has been growing up and taking a bigger role in the family company; putting his partying ways behind him had been a great thing. So when he meets a very attractive lady at the bar where the wedding reception is taking place, he is taken aback. He knows he wants to get to know her for more than just for the night, so he does the unexpected and asked her out. Sammy is drawn to the wedding for personal reasons but when she meets Tyler, everything changes for her.

Tyler and Sammy have a whirlwind relationship and things are looking up for both of them, but alas there is always is trouble that they must face. Sammy's secret comes out and Tyler must decide if his relationship is worth saving or throwing it all away.

This was a great read and the chemistry between these two stunning individuals. They must work through life's ups and down; but at the end of the day what doesn't break up, makes you stronger. If you've loved Spencer and Coda, then you'll love Tyler and Sammy!

Excerpt

“I have a proposition for you,” Spencer said.

“A proposition?” What could he possibly have to offer her?

“I have to attend my cousin’s wedding this weekend. Actually, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. I don’t want to go alone for reasons I don’t wish to discuss right now. I need someone to accompany me. I’m offering that to you.”

“And you think I’m ‘to the point’?” Coda shrugged.

He smiled but didn’t say anything. She couldn’t stand the silence. She wanted to figure out his game. There had to be some sort of catch.

“You want me to go to a wedding with you?”

“It’s in Connecticut. I would require your services until Sunday afternoon. All of your expenses would be paid, including a wardrobe which would be yours to keep after the weekend.”

“You need a date?”

“I would need you to appear as my girlfriend.”

“Is this a joke?” she asked.

“I wouldn’t joke about something like this. I’ve thought the entire thing through.”

“A man who looks like you should have no problem finding a real girlfriend to buy clothes for and flaunt in front of his family.” She thought for a moment. “Unless there’s something wrong with you.”

“There’s nothing wrong with me.” He raised his voice a bit. “I had planned on attending alone but circumstances have changed. I’m in a bind and from what I gather, you are too.”

Her instincts screamed to run in the opposite direction. She’d never been the type to fall for a scam. “I’m not interested in—”

“I’ll pay you two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your time.”

“What?” Apparently a side of crazy came with those good looks.

“One hundred and twenty-five thousand today, if you agree.” He pulled out a check from the inside pocket of the jacket he had draped on the back of the chair. He slipped the mint green paper across the table. “You’ll get the rest on Sunday afternoon.”

“That’s fifty grand a day.” She studied the check. It would take her years to make that kind of money working these shit-end jobs.

“I’m aware.” He nodded as if the money meant nothing. “I’m asking for your time, a commodity I believe should be well compensated.”

Too good to be true.

“Do you make it a habit of paying women to be your girlfriend?”

“Pretend girlfriend,” he reminded her. “You would be the first.”

“Why me?”

“Does it matter?”

“What exactly do you expect me to do for that money?”

“I told you.” He narrowed his eyes. “I need a date for a long weekend. Everyone needs to think we’re a couple.”

“You’re willing to pay me to go away with you for four days. I’m supposed to take your word we’re going to a wedding in Connecticut? How do I know you won’t kidnap me and want to do all sorts of kinky stuff to me? You could be some sex-obsessed lunatic.”

“Kinky stuff?”

“Yeah, you know, like bondage and blindfolds.”

“Do you like that sort of thing?” He tried to conceal his smirk.

Review

This was my first Ella Jade book but defiantly not my last. When I first heard of this concept, I thought, wow now that sounds interesting. Therefore when it was released, I grabbed it right away. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down because I was head over heals in love with Spencer Cannon.

This story is about the very handsome and extreme workaholic, Spencer Cannon. He's cousin is getting married this weekend and his ex-girlfriend, Ava, has been going around telling people that they are getting back together. He's brother, Tyler, advises him to either be strong and tell Ava no or bring a date. Spencer is at a loss as to what to do until a brief encounter with the lovely Coda, who happens to be part of the cleaning crew. After their meeting, he makes a decision that will not only keep Ava at bay, but also change his whole life.

Spencer and Coda try at first to fight their attraction to each other, but after spending so much time together, it is inevitable that they will get together. All the flirting was just a tease compared to the electricity these two cause when they finally give into their desires. Although there is some angst that could drive these two apart, neither is willing to give up and will fight to find a way back together. 

I truly loved this quick yet captivating story; Ella knows how to tell a story that touches your heart. Spencer Cannon is by far my favorite Ella hero; he's smart, talented, caring and handsome both in and out of a suit. Next to the definition of swoon worthy, you will find Spencer Cannon! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Spencer can proposition me any time he chooses and I will gladly accept.

How Ella Jade Came Into My Life

The lovely author, Ella Jade, first came to my attention when  The Weekend Proposition was published. I had been scrolling through Facebook when I noticed a post about it. I thought, well this sounds intriguing and very sexy, I will have to remember to get it on release day. 

I remember it like it was yesterday; I fell head over heels for Spencer and decided that I just had to let her know. Really, what author doesn't want to know that a reader loved their work? Anyhow, I sent Ella a little tweet saying how much I loved Spencer and The Weekend Proposition and you know what I got in return? A big fat nothing! Yup, a woman I love more now than I did then, didn't even respond! You would think that would stop me from consuming all her work, but I just kept right on stalking her. Frankly, I think she is better for it! ;)

So now I wait, impatiently at times, for her latest WIP to be completed and published. Okay, I'll be honest; I harass her on a near daily basis. Like I said before, and I'll say it again, I love this woman. And although I enjoy all her work, Spencer will always be my favorite; he brought Ella to me!

Oh and one last thing, when you see her, tell her Gavin says, "Please tell my story. I'm begging you!" She will laugh and tell you no, he can't be redeemed, but I'm on a mission!! I may not win, but it sure will be a fun journey and I may need to enlist the help of a certain young man named Robert. After all, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

~~~ Tessa’s Temptation ~~~

What happens when the siren becomes the tempted?

College student Tessa Burke is on the verge of eviction. Her life changed when her dad was in a bad car accident. He’s been in the hospital for months and making little progress. Desperation is setting in. They’re about to lose everything.

Successful architect Chase Carlisle has made a name for himself among the rich and famous. His work keeps him busy, leaving little time for a social life. When an old family friend contacts him and asks him to care for his vibrant, sassy daughter, Chase feels obligated to take her in. Patrick Burke had helped him when he was a troubled teenager, heading down a path of destruction. If not for Pat, he would have never become the man he is today.

The wild child turns Chase’s world upside down, tempting him in ways he can’t resist. The sexy younger woman shows him what he’s been missing the past few years. Their attraction is obvious from the beginning despite Chase’s apprehension to getting involved with Pat’s daughter. Tessa wears him down but gets caught in her own trap when she becomes the object of his deepest, darkest desires.

Contains adult content and graphic sex

*** Excerpt ***

Tess took off her clothes, tossed them in a pile in the corner of the bathroom, and stepped into the steamy shower. Through the steam she could make out Chase’s muscular back and tight ass before he turned to face her. All or nothing.

“What are you doing?” His hungry gaze traveled down her now wet body.

“Joining you.” She moved toward him, flattening her palms against his chest. “I didn’t think you’d mind.”

“Tessa.” He shook his head before kissing her. “What am I going to do with you?”

Anything you want.

“Stop trying to fight me.” She nipped at his bottom lip when his erection grazed her center. “Let’s just go with it.”

He twisted his fingers in her hair, pulling her to his lips and kissing her hard. She gripped his shoulders for support when he lifted her and pressed her into the cool tiles opposite the shower door. When he thrust his hips forward she thought she might come from that action alone. She’d spent weeks thinking about what it would be like to feel him – all of him – inside her.

“Baby.” His voice was low. “My plan was to take you out today. You know, maybe do things in the right order.”

“Fuck order.” She reached in between them, taking his cock in her hand. “I don’t like to follow the rules.”

“Fuck,” he hissed as he tightened his hold on her. “I like it when you talk dirty.” He ran the tip of his tongue along the seam of her lips as he lowered her to her feet. “I thought we agreed to take this slow. How am I supposed to think when you have my dick in your hand?”

“You said you wanted to take this slow. I never agreed to that. Would you like it better...” she dropped to her knees, “if your dick was in my mouth?”

“Ahh...” he moaned when she swirled her tongue around the head of his cock.

She looked up at him, waiting for his approval as she licked her lips. She rested her palm on his upper thigh. “You’re not going to stop me are you?”

“I’d be an idiot.” He took her chin in his hand, holding her still as he pressed his cock to her lips. “I did say I wouldn’t fight this anymore so open up.”

“It’s about time.” Opening her mouth, she took him in, inch by inch, slow and steady. There was so much of him to take and she wanted it all. Once she had as much of him as she could handle, she grasped his base in her hand, pumping in time with her mouth.

“Oh, God...” he mumbled as he threaded his fingers through her hair, pulling it tight as he thrust his hips forward. “You make me crazy.”

With each pass of her tongue on the underside of his shaft she felt his control diminishing. His surrender made her drunk with desire. The tingling between her legs intensified almost to the point of pain. She’d never touched herself there before, but his moans fueled her lust. She had to relieve the ache. Without releasing him from her mouth, she slipped her hand between her thighs, running her finger along her slit as she continued to suck him. Her nipples tingled as she pleasured herself. Finding her clit, she massaged it between her thumb and finger as the heat of the water streamed down her neck and back. The sensation of the powerful shower heads pulsing over her flesh, the feeling she created between her legs and the taste of his cock threw her into a frenzy. His legs tensed as he gathered her damp hair into a makeshift ponytail, jerking her head back.

“Tessa...” He placed his hand over hers at the base of his shaft and removed himself from her mouth, spraying his warm release all over her neck and breasts.

With each labored breath she took, she increased the pace of her own fingers until she pushed herself over the edge and joined him in the bliss of the moment. He let go of her hair and held out his hand for her. She took it and shakily got up from the floor, cuddling against his wet chest.

He tilted her chin to look into her eyes and wrapped his other arm around her waist, cradling her in his strong hold. “That was amazing.” The corner of his mouth curved into a smile. “But from now on,” he released her face and raised her hand to his, sucking two of her fingers into his mouth. Her stomach fluttered and her pussy pulsed with need when his warm tongue flicked over her fingers. “I’m the only one who makes you come.”

Heat filled her cheeks as she tried to defend herself. “I-I’ve never done that before. I got caught up in the moment and...”

“It’s okay.” He kissed her wrist. “I couldn’t take my eyes off you. That was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“Really?”

“Really.” He kissed a path from her jaw to her lips. “I was jealous it wasn’t my fingers inside you.”

“It’s early.” She ran her lips across his stubble. “We still have time.”

“You have no idea what you’ve unleashed within me. The things I’m going to do to you all night. Every night. The ways I can make you scream. I tried to keep it at bay, sweetheart. I really did, but after today there’s no going back.”

“I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you. When I close my eyes, it’s your hands I want to feel on my flesh, your lips all over me. You already do things to me that no one else ever has.”

“I’m going do all kinds of things to you that no one ever has.” He stared deeply into her eyes as he pulled her to him. “You’re mine now, Tessa.”

“Hey.” Sophia gently closed the door behind her and walked over to him. “Miss me?”

“Maybe.” He reached for her, tossing her into his lap. “The guys dropped me off after we went for some food. I couldn’t unwind so I came over here.”

“Why so restless?” She traced her fingers down his cheek before pressing her lips to him.

“I’m always restless without you.” He ran his hand through her hair. “What am I going to do when I’m in New York?”

“I’ll call you.” She hated to think about him having to leave again. They were just getting into a routine. They felt like a real couple.

“That’s not the same as touching you. I need you in my bed.” He kissed her jaw, working his way down her neck, lingering at her collarbone. “I want you with me.”

“I still have another month of school,” she reminded him. They’d discussed her traveling with him throughout the summer but they hadn’t made any solid plans.

“Have you thought about coming with me on the road?” He slipped the strap of her sundress over her shoulder and placed a soft kiss there. “Some of the guys’ girlfriends come with them.”

“Are you sure you want me around all the time?” She shifted to straddle him. “I might cramp your style.”

“Did you go out like this?” His gaze traveled down her body, totally abandoning their conversation.

“Like what?”

“In this skimpy little dress?” He focused on her breasts as he rested his hands on her thighs. “Don’t you know how tempting you are?”

“Show me.” She nipped at his earlobe. “Do I tempt you?”

“What do you think?” He moved her hand over his erection. “Let’s go back to my house.”

“I can’t wait that long.” She reached for his belt buckle. “I have an early morning meeting and my parents aren’t expecting me to sleep out. I don’t want them to worry.”

“Leave them a note.” He watched as she lowered the zipper on his jeans. “What are you doing?”

“Showing you how tempting you are.” She slide her hand inside his boxer as she slithered down, kneeling in front of him. “Maybe I can help you settle down. Help you get a good night’s sleep.”

“Here?” He looked around. “What about your parents?”

“You don’t strike me as a conservative guy.” She leaned forward and swirled her tongue around the head of his cock. “You seem like the adventurous type.”

“You keep that up and you’ll see how daring I can be.” He slunk back and closed his eyes as she took him into her mouth. “Hell...” he hissed when she grazed his shaft with her teeth.

The few times they’d been together, she learned what he liked. She may not have been experienced in the sex department but Pax proved to be a good teacher.

“Stop,” he moaned.

“Why?” She glanced at him. “My parents won’t come out here.”

“As much as I adore that hot, skilled mouth of yours, I want something else.” He gripped her hips and pulled her into a standing position.

“Anything.” She bit her lip as she waited for him to tell her.

“Let’s take these off.” He reached under her skirt and pulled her panties down her legs.

She stepped out of them and kicked them out of the way. “These cowboy boots are what did me in, sugar. We’re leaving them on when we fuck.”

“You’re so dirty.”

“I know my good girl likes a bad boy.” He lifted her skirt, glancing at her bare, exposed pussy. “I’m as bad as they come.”

A chill swept over her when she realized they were going to have sex outside, on her back porch. She’d never done anything like this before. With Pax she wanted to do everything. Pulling out his wallet, he retrieved the purple foil packet. He tossed the brown leather wallet on the ground by her feet before lifting his hips and pushing his jeans and boxers over them.

“Come here.”

*** Trailer ***

*** Excerpt ***

When Claudia made her way outside, the limo was there, but the driver wasn't. She looked around, but didn't see him. She decided to get in and wait for him. He'd have to come back for the car sooner or later.

She opened the door and slipped inside, placing her bag on the floor. She was grateful the air conditioning was on in the car, another perk the bus didn't have.

"Hello, sweetheart."

"Brody?" She looked up and saw him sitting next to her. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you." He moved his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. "I missed you." He freed her hair from her ponytail and shook it out with his fingers so that it fell down her back and over her shoulders. "Much better, princess."

She laughed because she had just thought of him as The Prince. If he only knew.

"What is it?"

"I'm happy to see you." She giggled. "You make things much better."

"Hard day?"

She leaned closer to him, took his face between her hands, and kissed him. At first, she moved slowly, but the way he looked at her with those smoldering eyes told her everything she needed to know. He was just as excited to see her as she was to see him.

She ran her tongue along his lips, begging for entrance. He eagerly accepted as he parted them and slipped his tongue inside her mouth. His breath was hot and his lips were hungry as he kissed her with more force than she expected. She moved her hands up and twisted her fingers in his hair, moving him closer to her.

He pulled her onto his lap, pushed her hair to the side, and kissed her neck. She could feel his excitement pressing against her hip. His erection was trapped between his stomach and her side. He shifted his hips and rubbed himself into her.

She sighed against his mouth, but then he pulled away.

"Claudia." The sound of his voice was both desperate and breathless. "I could take you right here, but that’s not what I want."

"It isn't?" She didn't mean to sound disappointed.

"Let me rephrase that." He moved her to sit beside him. "I would want nothing more than to have my way with you right here, but I don't think either of us intended it to be that way between us the first time."

"You think about our first time?"

"Every second of the day." He shrugged. "I'm a guy."

She laughed, but realized he was right. She'd gotten carried away. It was the way he looked at her, the scent of his body wash, all spice and cinnamon that drove her crazy.

"It's your fault," she said. "You're irresistible."

"I was thinking the same thing about you."

She shook her head and looked down. She felt his fingers on her chin in an instant, and then she was gazing into his eyes. She loved those blue depths. They were soothing and made her forget everything she had on her mind.

"You really need to take my compliments better. I speak the truth." He kissed her.

"I'll keep telling you how perfect you are and eventually you'll believe it."

She would never believe it. A perfect woman wouldn't lead a man like Brody on. A perfect woman would tell him the truth. She was far from perfect.

*** Excerpt *** 

Ari lay on the massage table, indulging in the aroma of the scented oils. The strum of the music in the dimly lit room almost lulled her to sleep. Her muscles were still relaxed from the massage she’d just had. The massage therapist, Emma, told her to take a few minutes to unwind and rest before getting up. Her eyes were closed but she could hear the door of the small room open and close. She thought it was Emma leaving, but the sound of footsteps coming toward her made her aware that she wasn’t alone.

“Did you enjoy your massage, kitten?”

Ari opened her eyes to find Martin standing over her. She tried to sit up, but he placed his hand on her shoulder, effectively holding her down. He wasn’t rough, but his touch made her stop and obey. His subtle smile told her she had pleased him. He turned his attention to Emma.

“Did you take care of my girl?” He didn’t remove his hand from Ari’s shoulder.

“Yes, Sir.” She nodded, keeping her gaze set on the floor.

A submissive.

“Good girl.” Martin took his free hand and tilted Emma’s chin so she had to look at him.

Ari found the fact that he touched them both at the same time strangely erotic. The room was small and intimate, and Martin’s presence had somehow changed the tranquil atmosphere. “How are things going with you and your Master?”

“Very well, Sir.” Emma swallowed hard, her voice softer than before. Martin made her apprehensive. “You matched us well. Thank you.”

“I’m glad. I’m eager to hear about your progress. I’ll be observing the two of you very soon.” Without looking at Ari, he removed his hand from her shoulder and ran it along her throat. “I’ll set it up.” Martin released Emma’s chin and turned his attention back to Ari. “So beautiful.” He moved his hand to her face, running his fingers along her lips. “Isn’t she, Emma?”

Martin smirked when Ari’s breathed picked up. He could read her so well. Mesmerized by his presence, she didn’t speak or question what he wanted.

“Yes, Sir, she is.” Emma moved closer to the table.

Ari should have been uncomfortable with another woman in the room with them, but it didn’t seem wrong. She never would have entertained the idea of having someone observe them, but with Martin she wanted to explore and push limits. She wanted to become everything he needed.

He trailed his fingers along Ari’s jaw and down to her neck, stopping just where the sheet covered her breasts. Her nipples hardened when he hooked his finger under the cloth.

“I’d be happy to serve you, Sir,” Emma timidly spoke. “I’d be honored to please you and your sub.”

Please me?

Ari wasn’t sure she was up for that. Having Emma watch them was one thing, but playing with them? Could she take things that far? Would Martin ask her to? She tried to calm her mind.

Objection, she reminded herself. If she used her safe word, he’d have to stop. She had the power.

“Hmm.” Martin pulled the white material down, revealing Ari’s breasts. “That’s a generous offer. One I’m sure your Master will reward you for.” He circled the pad of his finger over Ari’s nipples, causing her to stifle a moan.

Ari closed her eyes and squeezed her legs together, trying to stop the throbbing between them. She abandoned any thoughts of using her safe word. She lost herself in Martin’s touch. “I don’t think my pet is ready for that.” He continued to pleasure her with his fingers. “You may leave us.”

“Yes, Sir.” Ari heard Emma quickly exit the room.

“Look at me.” Martin kneeled down next to her face.

Opening her eyes, she stared directly into his.

“I’m very pleased with your trust in me. You were quite receptive with Emma’s presence in the room with us. You didn’t even panic when she offered to play with us.” He pressed his lips against her shoulder. “Would you entertain that idea?”

“I’m not sure.” She wanted to say yes, but she wasn’t certain. “Not yet.”

He nodded as he ran his fingers through her hair. “I appreciate your honesty. Perhaps you’ve mastered rule number one after all. We’ll never do anything you’re not comfortable with.”

“I don’t want to share you.” She smiled. “Would you touch her the way you touch me?”

“Of course not,” he said. “She is in a monogamous relationship with her Dom. The same way you and I are.”

“But?”

“Shh.” Martin pulled the sheet the rest of the way down, exposing her nakedness to him. “We’ll discuss it later. Right now, I’d like to play.”

“Here?”

~~ Sexy Excerpt One ~~

"I have a proposition for you," Spencer said.

"A proposition?" What could he possibly have to offer her?

"I have to attend my cousin's wedding this weekend. Actually, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. I don't want to go alone for reasons I don't wish to discuss right now. I need someone to accompany me. I'm offering that to you."

"And you think I'm 'to the point'?" Coda shrugged.

He smiled but didn't say anything. She couldn't stand the silence. She wanted to figure out his game. There had to be some sort of catch.
"You want me to go to a wedding with you?"

"It's in Connecticut. I would require your services until Sunday afternoon. All of your expenses would be paid, including a wardrobe which would be yours to keep after the weekend."

"You need a date?"

"I would need you to appear as my girlfriend."

"Is this a joke?" she asked.

"I wouldn't joke about something like this. I've thought the entire thing through."

"A man who looks like you should have no problem finding a real girlfriend to buy clothes for and flaunt in front of his family." She thought for a moment. "Unless there's something wrong with you."

"There's nothing wrong with me." He raised his voice a bit. "I had planned on attending alone but circumstances have changed. I'm in a bind and from what I gather, you are too."

Her instincts screamed to run in the opposite direction. She'd never been the type to fall for a scam. "I'm not interested in—"

"I'll pay you two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your time."

"What?" Apparently a side of crazy came with those good looks.

"One hundred and twenty-five thousand today, if you agree." He pulled out a check from the inside pocket of the jacket he had draped on the back of the chair. He slipped the mint green paper across the table. "You'll get the rest on Sunday afternoon."

"That's fifty grand a day." She studied the check. It would take her years to make that kind of money working these shit-end jobs.

"I'm aware." He nodded as if the money meant nothing. "I'm asking for your time, a commodity I believe should be well compensated."
Too good to be true.

"Do you make it a habit of paying women to be your girlfriend?"

"Pretend girlfriend," he reminded her. "You would be the first."

"Why me?"

"Does it matter?"

"What exactly do you expect me to do for that money?"

"I told you." He narrowed his eyes. "I need a date for a long weekend. Everyone needs to think we're a couple."

"You're willing to pay me to go away with you for four days. I'm supposed to take your word we're going to a wedding in Connecticut? How do I know you won't kidnap me and want to do all sorts of kinky stuff to me? You could be some sex-obsessed lunatic."

"Kinky stuff?"

"Yeah, you know, like bondage and blindfolds."

"Do you like that sort of thing?" He tried to conceal his smirk.

~~ Sexy Excerpt Two ~~ 

Coda opened the door and walked into the bathroom as he shaved. His towel hung low off his hips. The whole bathroom smelled of him. It made her insides quiver. When he caught a glimpse of her in the mirror he dropped his razor into the sink.

“You dropped something,” she said as she reached for her makeup bag. “This bathroom is big enough for us to share. You don’t mind, do you?”

“You’re practically naked.” He gawked at her lacy silver bra and matching thong.

“If we were on the beach, you’d see me in my bikini.” She took in his damp skin, mesmerized by the drop of water that trickled down his chest. She watched as it disappeared into the towel just above his...

Stay in control. I need to seduce him.

“We’re not on the beach.” He picked up his razor and rinsed it off under the faucet. “If we were, there is no way in hell I’d allow you wear something like that.”

“Really? You wouldn’t allow me?”

“No.” He growled.

“Why not? Don’t you like the way I look?”

“That’s not the point.” He struggled not to look at her but she saw his gaze make contact with her body in the reflection of the mirror. “I’d have to kill anyone who looked at you.” 

“You did pay for this underwear, so I figured you should at least get to see it.”

“That was very kind of you.” He concentrated on shaving.

She applied her makeup, hoping he’d make some kind of move to let her know he was interested in her. He’d admitted it the night before. She had to get him to act on it.

When he finished, he wiped his face with a warm washcloth but missed a spot just under his left earlobe. She shimmied her way in between him and the counter. He looked down at her lips. She used that to her advantage as she slowly ran the tip of her tongue along them.

“Let me help you.” She reached up and swiped her thumb across his jaw and to the small spot of shaving cream he’d left behind. “You missed some.” She held out her thumb to show him before using his towel to wipe it off. She squeezed his rock hard thigh. “You’re so muscular.”

“What are you doing?” His words were controlled but clipped. “I thought we decided—” 

“You decided.” She closed the space between them. “I bet your chest is just as toned as your legs.” She trailed her fingers along his pecks and down to his stomach, tracing each of his well-defined six pack abs during her exploration. The lower she went, the harder his breathing became.

“Stop taunting me.” He lifted her up and sat her on the cool tiled counter, spreading her legs as he stepped in between them.

“Or what?” she challenged him.

“You’ll find out just how aggressive I can be.” He gripped her inner thighs. “But you probably like it rough.”
