Secrets, Sex and Scandals …
Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy… Get ready. The storm is coming.
Marisol Moreno has spent her youth taking care of her younger siblings. Now, with her sister, Ginny, in crisis, and her brother in the throes of his first real relationship, she doesn’t have time for anything else. Especially not the overtures of the incredibly compelling Patrick Murphy.
* * * *
Marisol’s mouth opened in surprise, and Patrick took full advantage, sweeping his tongue inside. Warmth and sparks lit through her, and her mind spun. The grip on her neck was gentle and yet somehow firm, holding her in place.
The feeling of somebody else taking control, of having just a minute to feel and not think, swept through her along with need. Definite need that went way beyond want. Sitting on his lap felt right, and for the first time in so long, she felt protected.
He took her mouth, kissing her like he’d never stop. Her hands flattened against the strong muscles in his chest, while the firm thighs beneath her held her safe. There was so much hardness to his body that his gentleness seemed all the more impressive. Sexy and sure, he took the kiss deeper.
Her nipples peaked, and heat burned through her. She kissed him back, free for the tiniest of moments. All of a sudden, she wasn’t an overworked businesswoman or a struggling older sister. She was all woman.
Patrick Murphy’s woman.
A low groan came from the back bedroom, jerking her from the moment. She yanked her mouth free and listened, trying to hear above their ragged breathing. Nothing. Luis was all right.
She’d forgotten her drunk brother in the moment of passion. What had she been doing? Embarrassment straightened her spine one vertebra at a time. She drew away, and Patrick let her.
Lust glittered in his light blue eyes, and desire darkened his skin. A question, almost a demand, lived on his chiseled face.
If she said yes, they’d be in bed in a second. Naked and learning everything about each other.
God, her body wanted her to say yes. But she knew better. Her sister was pregnant, her brother was now drinking and driving, and she was responsible for them. For raising them. Frankly, she was doing a pretty shitty job.
She pushed against his chest. “I––I––can’t.”
He lifted an eyebrow. “It feels like you really can.”
She snorted a laugh. How could he be funny when they were both in pain? Taking a shuddering breath, she pushed away to sit next to him. “Patrick, I can’t start something romantic right now.” It wasn’t like he was asking for marriage, and she couldn’t blame him, but she couldn’t just start sleeping around. Not when she had her siblings to take care of. What kind of example would that be?
“You want me.” No ego and only fact leveled his tone.
She nodded. Why lie? “I do, but I can’t afford the complication right now. I mean, I don’t know.” Could she be any more wishy-washy?
He turned and lifted her chin.
Okay. She was liking this new take-charge attitude of his, and her girly parts needed to calm the hell down.
“Ah, Marisol. This feels so right, don’t you think?” He ran a thumb over her bottom lip.
The words caught in her throat because nothing had ever felt better. The idea of what he could do with his entire body for a whole night sent a shudder through her.
