Blurb:
Surrender is the only option she desires.
Taming the Beast,
Book 3
No
one believes that under the tough attitude and schoolgirl fashion sense,
reformed
demon
Zoe burns for a man, love, and sex. She keeps those urges on ice and well
hidden.
She
sold her soul for a guy once, and all it got her was a one-way ticket to Hell.
Her
job, keeping supernatural creatures in line at From Crud to Stud, is all work
and
no
play. Until she’s saddled with a trio of new enforcers who ooze so much sexual
heat she’s
afraid
to be on the same planet with them.
Stefin,
Anatol, and Taro try to contain their laughter as their adorable new boss tries
to
lay down the law. Apparently, no one told her they don’t take orders. They give
them.
And
they’re determined to smooth her rough edges and tame her beast with acts so
wanton
they’ll
make her scream—for more.
Talk
about all hell breaking loose. Surrender won’t come easily, but given their
devilish
charm
and her aching need, her journey to submission is one done deal.
Warning: Contains an unholy trio
of demons who don’t like to take turns. Break room…
snacking. After-hours…training
sessions. In other words, a sensual ride on the pleasure express. Features
m/f/m/m sex in every flavor except vanilla. Bring. It. On.
Excerpt #1:
Becca
stopped fingering the edge of her short red hair. “I don’t want you to keep
killing yourself by working so hard.”
“How
could I do that?’ She frowned. “I’m immortal.”
“That’s
not what I meant.” Becca waved her hand dismissively. “I want you to enjoy your
work.”
That
funny feeling returned, making Zoe queasy. “Who says I don’t? Oh, hey, is this about
Daemon horning in on more of my stuff? Uh-uh. He’s already keeping the clients
in line for the other staff. I don’t need him to do that for me. I’m capable.
Hell, I’m a better enforcer than him. I do not want—”
“No
problem,” Becca cut in and then blurted, “Stefin, Anatol and Taro will be here
for that from now on.”
Footfalls
suddenly rang in the hall. Three men who looked to be in their early thirties
strode into Becca’s office, their movements fluid and assured, each of them
dressed in black, their shirts made of silk, their boots and pants dressy, like
bouncers at an elite club.
No
one was boogying in here, especially Zoe as she caught the unholy trio’s faint
sulfur scent. Oh shit. Pinpoints of flame flared briefly in their eyes, proving
they were demons. The trouble she’d sensed earlier.
Too
stunned to speak or to move, she simply stared.
The
guy in the middle was easily six-three and nicely muscular with blond
shoulder-length hair, his rough good looks, bronze complexion and stubble
virile to the extreme. There was a hint of sin, dangerous and predatory, in his
light gray eyes.
Her
belly fluttered at the thought of him on top of her, his strong legs pushing
hers apart, his hand sliding up her—
She
stopped before completing the smutty thought, noticing the ornate tat on the
back of his left hand. A stylized goat’s head…the mark of the devil.
He
winked.
Zoe’s
legs went watery, disquiet and lust rolling through her. Ignoring both, she
turned to the guy on his right and had to lock her knees again to keep
standing. Equally tall and powerfully built, he was simply beautiful with
rich-chocolate skin, dark eyes and long hair worn in dreadlocks that would feel
awesome gliding across her naked boobs and thighs.
Stop it.
Zoe
tried to push her X-rated fantasies away and steel herself against his allure.
He
smiled. A freaking dimple dented his right cheek. His grin was an unusual
mixture of boyish mischief and raw sensuality that creamed her pussy.
Tearing
her attention from him, she studied the last guy. Hot didn’t begin to describe
his masculine features, deep-blue eyes and thick, wavy hair a dark shade of auburn.
Those locks trailed past his ears and curled at the base of his neck. His
stubble called to everything female within Zoe, the same as his height, big body
and the assured way he regarded her.
Beneath
the enticing fragrance of sulfur, she caught their musky scents, wanton and
unashamed, surely the same fragrance as their cocks. She imagined their shafts
jutting from nests of blond, black or auburn curls, their balls meaty and
lightly furred.
The
room spun.
“Guys,”
Becca said, “this is Zoe.”
Becca’s
introduction seemed to have come from miles away. Zoe tried to respond but only
managed a noise somewhere between a grunt and a groan.
Becca
edged closer. “Zoe, this is Anatol.” She gestured to the black hunk with the
dimple. “Stefin.” The blond god in the middle winked again. “And Taro.” The
blue-eyed hottie continued to regard her intensely. “They’re our new
enforcers.”
Each
of them looked as if he’d been in charge forever and wouldn’t budge one damn
inch for anyone, especially a female demon.
“You’ll
be working with them from now on,” Becca added.
Working
with or for, as in taking orders, yearning helplessly and then losing out as
she had with the last man in her life?
Like
hell.
