Fixed on You (Fixed, #1)

“Hudson Pierce.” Hudson’s smooth, low murmur had me clenching my thighs together, my panties pooling with moisture. And if I thought he’d claimed me with his eyes the night we’d met, the surge that ran through me as he shook my hand deepened his possession. Almost like an invisible handcuff reaching out to bind me to him permanently. “Good to meet you properly, Ms. Withers.”

Kitty purrrrrrr, this is why I 🌱💨 before I read.

“Don’t pussyfoot about it. You’re asking about sex.” His eyes darkened again. “I never pay for sex, Alayna. When I fuck you, it will be for free.”

“Neither. I was attracted to him because he’s hot. Though, I stayed with him because he’s fucking awesome in bed.”

For half a second, I tried to picture them having sex before I realized that once I thought it, I wouldn’t be able to unthink it.

When you can’t help yourself, talk to me.

“Good. Go get ready for bed.” He nodded toward the en suite bathroom door. “Don’t take too long. I’m eager to lick you senseless.”

“My counselors have said it’s probably about not feeling loved as a child. Aggravated by the early death of my parents. So I’m constantly seeking affection and doubting it when I receive it because I don’t know what it really feels like.”

Jack rolled his head dramatically. “Please refrain from reminding me I’m married to that woman.” His eyes twinkled mischievously. “We obviously don’t want to go in there. Have you been given a tour of Mabel Shores?”

Most of all, I hurt because I was alone and in love. And that was the worst combination of things to be.
