Mid Week Tease: HIS ~ Strength. Power. Experience. #MWTease @EvernigtPub

It’s that time again! 

This week’s tease is from my short story in the HIS Anthology. It’s only $0.99 this week on Evernight’s website! You can’t beat 12 super Alpha-sexy stories for under one dollar. 

Enjoy this scene from The Mobster’s Promise…

“The door won’t open any faster that way.”

“Leave me alone.” She kept her back to him as a tear escaped the corner of her eye.

“I’d forgotten what a stubborn streak you have.” His husky voice was so close, his breath tickled her cheek. “I’d also forgotten how fucking good you smell.”

Closing her eyes, she leaned her back against his chest. For a moment, just one moment, she was safe. The ding of the elevator jolted her back to reality. Hopping in before the doors opened all the way, she first pushed the button for the fifth floor, then pushed and held the close button. “Go back to your penthouse and let the commoners live in peace. Your money can’t solve everything.” She glared at him as the doors closed.

A scuff-free black shoe stopped the door, and he stepped into the car. “That’s what this is about? Because this isn’t about money. It’s about you,” he closed the space between them, “and me.”

Shutting her eyes, Julia’s senses filled with the familiar scent of fine whiskey and unadulterated man. His hands wound around her waist as she lifted her face to his. “Damn it, I trusted you, and look what happened. You betrayed me then you let me walk away,” she whispered.

Roarke’s thumb rubbed a circle under her ribcage. “It was the best thing for you.” His breath puffed against her lips, his mouth close to hers.

Julia slid her hand up his rock hard abs and breathed deep. Damn, she missed him. Groaning, her fingernails dug into his muscular chest as she pushed away. She lingered a second too long. His power coiled around her like a snake ready and willing to squeeze every ounce of common sense she had from her body. Strong but gentle, his fingers trailed up her arm and neck to the exact spot behind her ear that made her weak in the knees. He had a good memory, damn him.

Squeezing her eyes closed, she willed her tears to stay put. She couldn’t show him how much she wanted him. How much she needed him. Not now.

“We can’t do this.”

His grip loosened. “What are you so afraid of?”

Her will crumbled as tears ran down her cheeks. “You. This

place.”

“I’d never hurt you.” He cupped her face and wiped the tear with his thumb.
