Excerpt:
I sneak closer to the bed, my heart pounding as I
throw the pillow at him. The guy shifts in his sleep, and his breathing slows,
but a beat later the snoring starts again and I have to resist the urge to
scream. Instead, I raise my poker and jab the sheet covered body. It’s not
hard, just a quick jab or two, but he still doesn’t stir.
“Hey, asshole!” I shout, and whack him hard in the
butt with my poker.
The giant freak jumps up and seizes my hand. His
grip forces me to drop my weapon. He yanks me toward him—on top of him—and this
is how I find myself eye to eye with the beast. He breathes his heavy, stinking
breath on my face, and I wince and wrinkle my nose.
Leo’s eyes crinkle in the corners as he laughs.
“Morning, Pop Tart.”
“Get the hell out of my bed. And brush your
goddamn teeth. What are you doing in my house, Nass?”
“Ah, still feisty, huh? Is this like an all-day
thing with you, or do you eventually turn from an angry sea witch into a
person? Would coffee help?”
“Fuck you, Leo.”
“Darlin’, you wish.”
“You’re disgusting. I wouldn’t touch you if—”
“Yeah, yeah, if I were the last man on Earth. I’ve
heard it all before, sweet cheeks, and I don’t buy it for a second.” He flips
us so suddenly my head spins. I’m beneath him, my wrists pinioned to the bed
above my head by just one of his strong hands. The other glides up my side. My
sheets have twisted up around us, but from this angle it looks as if Leo Nass
is very much naked in my bed.
“Goddamn it,” I complain once I find my voice.
“I’m going to need to burn these sheets after you leave.”
His eyebrow quirks, and the grin he gives me is
all-out salacious. He shifts his weight between my legs, then he drops his hips
and grinds his erection against me. I’m stunned, speechless. I have no words.
They’ve all left me because my brain has turned to mush and my vagina is the
only one thinking, and I’m really not okay leaving her in charge. “Why burn
them when we’re not done messing them up?”
