Hero: Rand Miller
Quote: “I’m not a good little farm boy from Ohio, Lucy. Like it or not, I am a street punk from Brooklyn. Know this. I will not give you up without a fight, sweetheart, and I fight dirty.”
EXCERPT
He placed his hand on her thigh and caressed her. She could barely see his midnight-blue eyes in the dark confines of the cab. His shaggy sandy-blonde hair and muscled torso had her body spinning out of control. He was incredibly rugged and so very male. Her pussy flooded with heat every single time she looked at him.
“I care about you, Lucy. More than any woman I’ve ever known.”
Her heartbeat accelerated. “It’s the same for me.”
He leaned toward her and Lucy’s flesh heated up at his nearness. When his lips were mere inches from hers, he murmured, “I want you. I wanted to give you some space, I swear I did, but that just doesn’t seem to be the smart thing to do anymore.”
It was now or never. In the two months she’d dated the wild man, he’d shown her things she’d never known existed. In her heart she knew he was way out of her league. He lived on the edge, always pushing the limits. When he wasn’t careening down the highway on his Harley, he was sky diving off some jagged cliff in Taupo, New Zealand. He was so worldly and she was just a girl from Ohio. She’d never understood what he saw in her. But questioning it to death had gotten her exactly nowhere. It was time to act like a woman, not a child.
“I think the only smart thing to do is kiss me,” she murmured.
“Mmm, yeah, good idea,” he groaned, then his lips covered hers and Lucy melted.
He was so tender, so warm, and she badly wanted it to last forever. As his tongue coasted over her lips, she let out a sigh and parted for him. He took his time, dipping and tasting her as if he had all the time in the world. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in deeper, edgy all at once for everything. He groaned and suddenly his warm palm was against her bare midriff beneath her tank, inching upwards until the caress of his thumb had her breast vibrating with need. Lucy whimpered and Rand lifted his head, his gaze zeroing in on the cabbie. Lucy flushed with embarrassment. She’d all but forgotten they weren’t alone.
With both of them trying to catch their breath, Rand was the first to recover. “I think we’ve gone as far as we can without being arrested,” he whispered for her ears alone.
Her cheeks heated over her hedonistic reaction to a simple kiss. Lucy straightened away and smoothed down her tank with shaky fingers. “I think maybe you’re right. I should get home, anyway.”
Strong fingers cupped her chin and coaxed her gaze back to his. “Home with me or home alone?”
This was it. Her chance to back out. That he was even willing to give her an out made her decision easier.
Instinctively Lucy knew he would never hold it against her if she left him hard and aching. The first night they’d gone out, they’d both gotten carried away, but he’d backed off as if content to let her come to him. For two months he’d been sweet and patient. She didn’t want him to be either of those things anymore. Lucy craved him in a way she’d never craved a man.
“Home with you,” she answered as a new determination filled her with strength.
Rand leaned over and branded her lips with his possessive heat. Neither of them spoke for the rest of the drive.
Lucy’s nerves fairly vibrated with the energy pulsing through her veins, and her mind reeled at what she was about to do. She knew by the way he clenched his fists that he was just as wildly turned on and that gave her the power to shove her last few worries away.
Within minutes, they were cocooned in the privacy of his apartment. She’d had sex with all of two men and neither of those experiences were anything to brag about. Anxiety welled up and threatened to consume her. Damn, she may as well be a scared teenager for all the experience she possessed. Rand didn’t appear to have the same reservations. The passion in his gorgeous blue eyes was all the evidence she required.
“I want you, baby,” Rand growled, “real bad.” He turned the lock on the front door and moved towards her.
“But I need to know you won’t regret a single minute of this. Tell me.” Rand came to stand only inches away. “I want to hear it from your lips.”
Hearing him say it and seeing the raw ache etched into his harsh features effectively caused her own daring confidence to surface.
“I do want you, Rand,” Lucy softly confirmed as she stared up at him, allowing the uneasiness to show on her face. “But I haven’t had a lot of lovers. I’m a little nervous.”
He closed the space between them and took her into the warm, solid comfort of his arms. “Don’t be afraid of me, Lucy, I’d never hurt you.”
He brushed his lips over the top of her head. The gentleness of his touch stirred her clear to her toes.
“We’ll take it real slow. All you have to say is stop, and we stop. You have my word on that.”
She felt childish in the face of his confidence. “The very last thing I want is for you to stop.”
It was way past time for a man like Rand to come into her life and teach her how to feel like a woman. She wanted his touch, his all-consuming desire. Lucy was no fool. She knew their relationship was probably temporary. She feared she had already fallen in love with Rand, but that didn’t mean he felt the same way about her. Did she want to waste another minute worrying over it tonight? No, all that mattered in that moment, all she craved was to feel him sinking inside her, filling her, bringing her to the very brink of ecstasy and beyond.
Pushing her fears aside, Lucy stepped out of his arms, gripped the hem of her tank and yanked it over her head. She dropped it to the floor and stood perfectly still, resisting the urge to cringe and cover herself while his dark gaze roamed greedily over her torso. It hadn’t been the first time he’d seen her breasts, but it was the first time she’d taken the initial step.
Her nipples hardened as the cool air hit her and she shivered. She’d gone without a bra because she hadn’t intended to do anything more than work on her finances, until Rand had shown up at her apartment insisting they celebrate their two month anniversary. Now Lucy was grateful she didn’t have to gracefully and seductively wrestle with straps and hooks. And the heated look in her lover’s eyes was enough to have her insides fluttering.
“Damn.” Rand couldn’t move or even breathe. She was perfect. She was his dream woman and then some. Her breasts were like large, soft, round pillows of creamy flesh. Christ, he could get lost for a decade playing with Lucy’s bountiful swells. He ached to taste her rosy nipples. Lick and bite and suck until his heart was content.
His hand reached out of its own volition and stroked over one turgid peak. Her breathing hitched and she arched into his palm. He lost it. Rand stepped forward and wrapped an arm around her lower back and drew her against his chest, pressing and flattening her pretty tits against his t-shirt, driving himself crazy with the feel of her as he took her mouth. At the sweet flavor of her lips, his sense of calm scattered.
He drank in her moan of excitement and licked at her full lower lip. He’d never get enough of her taste. He went to bed thinking of her. He woke tormented by the hottest dreams he’d ever experienced. Holding back, waiting for the right moment hadn’t been easy, but it had been worth it. Since the moment she’d strolled into his studio, she’d been his temptation. Like a gentle lamb teasing the big nasty wolf. Now she was here, in his arms, clutching at him with eager abandonment. She trusted him with something special. The thought gave him a possessive kind of pleasure, even while a trickle of fear rose up. He didn’t want to disappoint her. He wanted to give her nothing but pleasure. Satisfy her every which way he could. Bring her to the very brink of orgasm, before pulling back and doing it all over again until she begged for release. He’d touched her several times over the last two months. He’d sunk his fingers into her tight little pussy and he’d wrung cries of need from her. Now, knowing just how tight she’d be when his cock stretched and filled her instead made him swell painfully hard.

“Rand and Lucy are completely different characters from their upbringing, but both are confident and successful. Their differences make them such a strong couple. This is the first of this series I have read, but it will not be the last.”–Hollie, Coffee Time Romance–4 cups
“This is a short, fast romp into the lives of three strong characters. Each will make an imprint on your heart as you struggle along with them in hopes of a happily ever after. All three characters caught and held my attention and my emotions.”–Orleander, Whipped Cream Reviews, 4 cherries –read the full review here
“As much as I loved Trey and Lucy, Rand was my pick of this trio. His past is typical of a bad boy, but he has prevailed over his past and become a successful, kind, and caring man. He is still holding onto just a little bit too much of his past, and I felt for him during his struggle to let go of the pain so that he could hold onto Lucy. He was as awe aspiring with his emotions as he was with his possessive, hot, alpha attitude.
This is the first Anne Rainey book that I have read. She writes with a smooth flow and captivating voice. I enjoyed her work and would happily read more of her titles.” – Melissa, Dark Diva Reviews, 4 1/2 divas –read the full review here
