Jackson dodged easily, suppressing a laugh.
“No.” She pointed a finger at his chest. “I’m not giving you my dirty panties.”
“That’s all right. I can get them out of the laundry basket later.”
“Ew, Jackson,” she said, wrinkling her nose. “You don’t seriously have a stinky panty fetish do you?”
“Would you still love me if I did?”
“Of course,” she said, without a moment’s hesitation, making his heart feel a little lighter even though he was only teasing. “But it would take some getting used to. I’m not accustomed to sharing that part of my life with anyone but the washing machine.”
He reached across the table, taking her hand and lifting it to his mouth. “I’m kidding.” He kissed the tips of her fingers one by one, loving the way she flushed in response. “I have no designs on your panties, just the woman who wears them.”
She curled her fingers, giving his palm a squeeze. “Harley’s going to be okay, right?”
“I think so,” Jackson said, knowing he had no choice but to be honest with her. They didn’t do lies or secrets, not even to spare each other pain. “I asked Clay not to hurt her and he said he wouldn’t, but I haven’t seen the man in years. I don’t know whether he’s still the kind to tell the truth.”
Hannah cocked her head. “You did? Really? You asked him not to hurt her?”
“I knew you would want me to.”
She sighed. “You are my favorite husband I’ve ever had.”
“I’m the only husband you’ve ever had,” he said, rising from his chair. “And the only one you’re going to have. Come get in the water with me.”
“What about dinner?” she asked, but she was already standing beside him, letting him lead her down the steps toward the beach.
“Dinner will keep. The sunset won’t and I want to fuck you in the waves with the sun in your hair.”
And so he did and it was even better than the last time he’d made love to his wife because every day with Hannah was better than the last, every moment more priceless than the one before.
She was all the proof he needed to believe that life was beautiful, nearly as beautiful as the woman in his arms.

About the Book
Warning: This is a dark enemies-to-lovers romance that contains violence, a damaged alpha male, and dirty twisted hate banging. Read at your own risk.
The first time CIA Agent Clay Hart fell for Harley Mason, she nearly killed him. But she won’t get another chance at his heart or his life. He’s going to take the son she’s hidden from him for years, send her to jail where she belongs, and never look back.
Harley isn’t the sick twisted person she used to be, but sins have a long half-life and rage an even longer reach. Now the only man she’s ever loved is back from the dead and determined to take away her reason for living. But she won’t give up her son without one hell of a dirty, twisted, sexy fight.
She won’t give up.
He won’t give in.
And neither of them is prepared for the sparks that fly between them or the shared enemy determined to destroy them both.
Dirty Twisted Love is the first installment in the Dirty Twisted Love romance series. It is a spin off of the Bought By the Billionaire series, but can be read as a standalone romance. This is a SERIAL story, with a CLIFFHANGER ending. If you don’t like being teased, steer clear.
