Caught in the Axe (Maine Lumberjacks, #1)

by Daphne Elliot

She was gorgeous and kind and intelligent, which meant there was no way I’d escape the next couple of weeks without developing a full-blown crush.

Because there was no denying it. I was now lusting after my little brother’s ex-girlfriend.

And when she did, it was like standing in the sun. Her attention was warm and comforting, and it created an ache inside me, one I’d never felt before and couldn’t identify.

While snack food might not mean much to the average person, to someone like me, for whom food could be dangerous, it was huge.

“And regardless of how painfully gorgeous you are, your mind, Lila, your mind is magnificent.”

“How dare you, sir! I was Maple Sugar Princess 2008.” He laughed, the skin at his temples crinkling. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea I was in the presence of royalty.”

Damn, I’d never been so attracted to a woman in my life. Lila could completely destroy me. And I would gladly let her.

“Since the moment you first walked into that office building, I’ve been thinking of your naked body under mine. I’ve waited so long for this moment. You’re going to be a good girl and let me play.”

“God, this view,” he said, his blue eyes ablaze. “You. Lying on my bed, naked and spent. Dream come true.”

“You can have whatever you want. I’m all yours. For tonight, this year, or forever. I’m here if you want me.”

“Good. Because no one ever will. You’re mine now.” I grunted. “This pussy, it’s mine.”
