Bad for Business (Pembroke Hills, #2)

by Kat Singleton

“Plans are good. I love plans.” I laugh. “Oh, I’m well aware. Tell me, do you plan every single second of your day? Or do you just get off on planning mine?” “I don’t get off on anything that has to do with you, thank you very much.” I smirk as I cock my head to the side. “Really? I remember you loving the thing I did with my tongue.”

“Martini, extra dirty, just a splash of vermouth, and six olives instead of three. That’s your order, is it not?”

His gaze stays pinned on mine. I can’t move. Not with the way he’s looking at me right now. His eyes search mine, and I can’t help but wonder what he’s looking for.

“Hey, Camille?” I ask, my voice tight and hoarse. “What?” she whispers. “Tell me to stop if you don’t want this.” “Want what?” “This.” And before either one of us can say anything else, I grab the back of her neck and yank her face to mine. All of the fighting and hot and cold of the last few weeks feels worth it the moment my lips crash against hers.

“For being so insistent that you don’t like me, your pussy is absolutely soaked for me, princess.”

“Nothing happened. Nothing can happen between us. I’m your publicist, and you’re my client.” “And you were my publicist last night when you fucked my fingers so greedily you were practically screaming my name. It didn’t seem to matter then. Why’s it matter now?”

“I didn’t think I’d have you on your knees for me, but I have to admit, I don’t hate the sight of it. It’s hot.”

“Princess, I’ll get on my knees for you anytime you want me to. All you have to do is ask.” “Be careful what you promise me, Ryker,” she responds, her mouth so close that her lips almost move against mine. “I might just have to ask you.”

“And when I woke up alone and thought you didn’t like me, it strengthened a fear I didn’t even realize I had.” “And what is that?” “That even after letting someone in, no one could ever like me…let alone love me.”

“The easiest thing I’ve ever done is like you, Cami. Even when I thought I hated you, I liked you.”

“So then you came right here?” I ask, pointing out the obvious, but I can’t help it. I’m in disbelief that she’s here. Camille nods. “When you realize you’re falling in love with someone, you want to get back to them as soon as possible.”

“I’m falling for you, Ryker Davenport. It’s terrifying and exhilarating and so many other things I’ve never felt before. But this is me trusting you to catch me.”

“I really thought you might argue about that one with your history of loving to fight with me.” “We can fight later about what we’re going to order for dinner. I’m not fighting about being your girlfriend. I want to be yours just as badly as I want you to be mine.”
