“Do you like my dress?” She asked him.
He nodded.
“Do you like my underwear?” Elizabeth pushed.
His lips parted.
“Oh, wait,” she murmured as happiness bubbled inside of her. “I forgot…I’m not wearing any underwear.”
The darkness of his gaze grew even more intense. “Sweetheart…”
“I’ve missed your desk.” Her hand trailed down his chest. “You’re all healed now, right?”
He was already pulling up her dress. When he saw that she was, in fact, not wearing any underwear, Saxon let out a rough curse.
She smiled.
And he lifted her onto the desk.
“To be honest,” she told him as her hands went to his waist. “It wasn’t the desk I missed.” But she’d known that he needed time to recover.
His hand was on her sex. His fingers were in her. Her moan came fast and hard, the same way that she knew her climax would be hitting soon. She was already wet for him. One touch, and she felt as if she were close to exploding.
His cock was out. Fully erect. She wanted to take time and stroke him, to caress him with her lips and tongue.
He moved between her thighs. Positioned the head of his arousal right at her sex. His hands caught hers. Their fingers threaded together, and he drove into her in one, long, mind-blowing thrust.
Then a knock sounded at the door.
Elizabeth froze. I forgot to lock the door!
“Go the fuck away!” Saxon snarled. His gaze never left her face. His cock filled her completely, stretching her, and she had to arch against him.
Then he groaned.
And she moaned.
And the footsteps padded away.
“Now where were we?” Saxon withdrew, then plunged back into her. “Ah, yeah, I think…” Another thrust and retreat. “We were right…here.”
He kissed her.
She came a few minutes later, her whole body exploding with pleasure, and he was there, right there with her. Holding her tight.
Loving her.
Epilogue
Victor hurried away from Saxon’s door. He knew the sound of a man who was busy…and a huge part of Victor envied his brother.
Saxon was a lucky bastard. Elizabeth knew all of Saxon’s secrets, and she didn’t care about his past. The darkness he carried didn’t bother her at all. In fact, she seemed drawn to him because of it.
Maybe one day he’d find a woman like that.
Instead of the women who just tried to kill him.
A waiter walked by and Victor snagged a glass of wine. He hadn’t told Elizabeth or Saxon about Luther, well not about the fact that the psycho was Elizabeth’s father. He figured they’d both been through enough hell without dropping that particular bombshell into their lives.
And finding out that her father had been the one to cause her mother’s death? No, that was shit that Elizabeth didn’t need to know.
Elizabeth was family now. Soon to be his sister-in-law. It was Victor’s job to protect her.
She doesn’t need to know. The truth will only hurt her.
So he’d add that secret to the dozen others that he kept, and he’d hope that those secrets never, ever made it to the light of day.
Because if they ever did, he knew there would be hell to pay.

Mine To Take (Book 1)
Sometimes you want someone so much…
Sometimes you need someone so much…
Lust can become love.
And love can turn into a deadly obsession.
***
Skye Sullivan knows that someone is watching her. Not just watching—stalking her. Months ago, Skye was involved in a dangerous car accident. The accident ended her dancing career and sent her fleeing back to Chicago. Skye is convinced that her stalker caused the crash, and she fears that he won’t stop pursuing her, not until she’s dead.
When someone breaks into her apartment in Chicago, Skye turns to the one man she believes can protect her—Trace Weston. Once, Trace was her lover. Two lost souls, they’d come together in a firestorm of need and desire. But then Trace had pushed her away. He’d joined the military, vanishing from her life. She’d put all of her emotion into dancing, and she’d tried to forget him.
Now Trace is one of the most successful men in the United States. Rich, driven, and carrying dark secrets, he agrees to help Skye. He’ll protect her from the danger that lurks in the darkness, but Trace wants more than to just be a guard for Skye.
He wants her. And he’ll take her. The years have changed him, hardened him. He’s not just a poor kid from the streets any longer. Now, he can have anything—or anyone—that he wants. And the one woman he has always wanted has just come back into his life. He won’t let her go again.
But with the threats mounting against Skye, she suspects that her stalker may be intimately close. He’s a man who knows her too well. As his attacks grow ever more dangerous, she realizes that if she trusts the wrong man, she could be making a fatal mistake.
Lust. Love. Obsession.
Just how far would you go in order to possess the one person you want the most?
Mine To Keep (Book 2)
Love is the most dangerous obsession…
Skye Sullivan is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. She survived a brutal stalker and escaped his abduction, and now she is looking to the future—a future that includes Skye’s lover, billionaire Trace Weston. Skye thinks the danger is finally over for her.
She’s dead wrong.
When Trace’s past comes back to haunt him, Skye discovers that the man she loves isn’t quite who he seems to be. Trace has been leading a double-life. An ex-special forces agent, his military training turned him into the perfect killing machine. He made more than his share of enemies during his time in the military—and as he built his security empire—and one of those enemies is striking back.
He won’t lose her.
Skye is the one weapon that can be used against Trace—his only vulnerability. But he won’t let her go—he can’t. Trace will do anything necessary to protect Skye. Anything. Yet when she discovers the secrets that he’s tried to keep hidden, Skye’s pain and rage may send her running directly into the cross-hairs of a killer…
Mine To Hold (Book 3)
She was one man’s obsession…
Nine years ago, Claire Kramer’s lover brutally killed her family, and he tried to kill her. She escaped, but she’s been haunted ever since that attack. Too afraid to trust another man and too worried that her past will catch up with her, Claire never gets too close to anyone. But then she meets Noah York.
He must have her.
Noah York is a man with secrets. The world sees him as a billionaire hotel tycoon, but Noah has a dark and dangerous side. For years, he worked covert military operations before he built his fortune. When it comes to death, Noah is a master. He knows that he should steer clear of Claire, but the white-hot attraction Noah feels for the delicate beauty is instant—and consuming.
He will never let her go.
Someone else is just as consumed by Claire—someone who will kill to possess her. And if Noah can’t stop the hunter in the darkness, he may just lose the one woman that he can’t live without.
Mine To Crave (Book 4)
HE TAKES WHAT HE WANTS.
From the
moment that billionaire casino owner Drake Archer sees Jasmine Bennett, he’s obsessed. Consumed by desire for the mysterious redhead, Drake will do anything necessary to claim her. Yet as desire rages between them, danger is stalking ever closer. Drake’s past isn’t dead, and the ex-Special Forces agent will soon have to face the ghosts he left behind.
SHE’S HIDING SECRETS.
Jasmine isn’t who she pretends to be. She’s a woman on a mission—and she’s supposed to be stealing secrets from the mysterious Drake. Falling for him isn’t on her agenda, but when lust and love tangle together, all the rules get broken.
AN ENEMY IS CLOSING IN…
When Drake learns of Jasmine’s betrayal…all hell breaks loose. He knows that he should turn his back on her, but it’s too late for him. He can’t let her go, but he can teach her a lesson. No one betrays him…not without paying a heavy price. Drake will destroy all of the enemies on his trail, he’ll bury his past, and he’ll teach Jasmine to want only him…just as much as he craves only her.
