Wild Rush: A Bad Boy Romance

“Justin, I—” But I wasn’t sure what to say. I don’t want to offend him. I loved him more than anything.
“Just open it. And then we’ll talk.”
“But I… I really love being your submissive. But not all the time. I don’t think—I mean…” God, this was hard. But this was the man I loved. If he truly wanted me to wear this, then I would do it for him. I’d try, at least. But I couldn’t even bring myself to raise the lid.
“Just open it,” he repeated. “That’s an order. Then we’ll talk about what it means.”
Okay. I could at least do that. I took a deep breath, set the box on the table, and lifted the lid. Inside was a layer of white cotton. I lifted it, expecting to see a gleaming necklace, but there was just more white fluff. Pushing it aside, I poked my finger around, trying to find the necklace. Finally, I felt something metal and saw a flash of light.
A flash of light coming from a small, silver object.
It was a diamond ring.
Oh.
My.
God.
Tears were already pouring down my face, so much so that I couldn’t even see Justin when I turned to him. Where’d he go?
But then I felt his hands on me, turning me to where he knelt next to the table, down on one knee. “It means I love you, Lily. It means I want you to be by my side for the rest of my life. Will you be my wife?”
“Yes,” I gushed, the word bypassing thought. Because this was not a decision for my mind, it was one for my heart. And that decision had been made a long time ago. Justin was the only man for me.
He stood and pulled me to my feet, embracing me. And then I was off the ground as he spun me around, holding me close. And my tears mingled with his as I whispered in his ear, “Best mindfuck ever.”
Justin laughed and set me down. Picking up the ring, he slid it on my finger. And then he kissed me again.
He held me tight, and I was exactly where I wanted to be. In his arms. In his home. In his life. And in his heart.
He was in my heart, too.
We were exactly where we were supposed to be.

Naughty Nights: A Bad Boy Romance
Luke Larson is friendly, funny, flirty, and off-the-charts hot. No surprise he's my favorite person in my new city. The problem? Luke is the only friend I’ve made since moving to town. I've tried the whole friends-to-lovers thing before. It ended badly.
Luke's the night manager at the hotel where I'm staying until I find an apartment. He's been kind, helpful, even protective of me since I checked in. Walking me to my room, claiming a cute single girl like me needs a hotel bodyguard. Ordering takeout from his favorite places for us to share. Talking with me late into the night. I don’t want to lose that, so my rule is - Friends Only. But the way he sometimes looks at me with those smoldering blue eyes makes me question my rule.
Like last night after his shift ended. It was supposed to be just pizza and a movie. Nothing wrong with that, right? Except we fell asleep, and if his boss catches him in my room, she’ll fire him.
It's hard enough to resist him when we're on opposite sides of the front desk. Now that we're trapped in a room with a king-sized bed, the temptation is overwhelming. And I can’t help but wonder if Luke is interested in exploring something real… or if he’s only looking for a few naughty nights.
