Grant
Osprey just had the hottest sex of his life. Sure, they were both in
costume, and yes, it was anonymous, but he never expected her to bolt
in the middle of the night without so much as a good bye, let alone
exchanging numbers. Or names. All he’s left with are her panties
and some seriously X-rated memories...until he meets his business
partner's little sister.
Only
Chloe Talley isn't the bold, sexy vixen he remembers. And she wants
nothing to do with him.
Cosplay
is Chloe’s only chance to leave her boring, socially awkward world
behind. To forget that she’s failing at life and can’t be with
anyone, let alone a single-father like Grant. But the raw hunger
between them is undeniable. With him, she can be a misbehaving maid.
A sexy call girl for hire. Each scene pushes Chloe beyond her strict
boundaries, until Grant demands the one character she can't play.
Herself.
Excerpt
Chloe
craned her neck and moved to go around the man, but the he
sidestepped, right into her path. She glared at him. Or rather, she
glared at…Doc Ock.
A
Doc Ock who was leering at her.
For
God’s sake.
He
twisted at the waist, so his metal octopus arms clanged together.
Leaning into her, he pulled a string near his head so a claw snapped
in her face. “Need a hand untying that corset, baby?” He held out
his hands so that all four of his metal arms lifted. “Because I got
six.”
This
was what was keeping her from Breck? A Spider-Man villain? She raised
her eyebrows, emboldened by her costume so she could say what she
never could without it.
“Seriously?
That’s your come on?”
He
blinked at her. “Uh, yeah I guess so.”
“That’s
the best you could come up with?”
His
lips twisted to the side. “Well, uh, how about, are you afraid of
spiders? Because I can protect you.”
She
rolled her eyes. “Spiderman already beat you once and—”
And
then her world tilted as someone gripped her waist and slung her over
a hard shoulder. Then she was moving as the body who held her began
walking. She protested with an umph and raised her head, watching Doc
Ock stare after them with wide eyes, his metal arms clanking.
Chloe
tried to get her wits together, remembering this was cosplay and she
was Sari and how dare this guy pick her up? She turned her attention
to her kidnapper. Or rather, his back. His blue-shirt-clad back.
“Hey, put me down.”
He
did with a thunk, and once she righted her skirt and brushed her hair
out of her face, she got a good look at Breck. Her Breck.
Her
incredibly hot rescuer.
She
placed her hand on her hips and tried to keep the breathiness out of
her voice, because damn. “I was doing just fine back there.”
“I
know you were,” he said in a deep voice that skittered down her
spine like fingers. “But I wasn’t. Had enough of watching that
guy trying to hit on you.” Those full lips, so full they were
almost feminine, twisted into a smile. “I wanted your attention.
Because you’re the best Sari I’ve seen today.”
Chloe
sucked in a breath. Oh yes, he’d do.
