Eight Ways To Ecstasy – Jeanette Grey

Sort of.” She frowned. How much did she really want to get into this? “We had a—a fling, over the summer. We ran into each other a couple of weeks ago and decided to see if there was anything more to it.” He paused for a second, and then his voice dropped.

“You could have told me.” She’d felt like shit every time she hadn’t. “I wasn’t sure how much there was to tell.” She hadn’t really thought it would last even this long. “Anything would’ve been nice. Here I was, thinking…” He trailed off. There was a bitter, wry slant to his mouth. They hadn’t exactly spoken about Liam’s interest in her out loud, but there it was, on the table between them now.

They’d might as well get it all out. “I thought so, too. Maybe.” She took a deep breath. She’d resisted putting a label on what was going on between her and Rylan, or apparently even acknowledging it at all. But she couldn’t lead Liam on. Even if she had seen some potential between them, Rylan had walked back into her life and reclaimed this piece of her heart she hadn’t even realized was waiting for him.

The piece he’d crushed, but which had started to beat again the second she’d seen his face. She was working to guard herself harder this time, but there were some things she couldn’t deny. “But I’m with Rylan.” If it fell apart again tomorrow, it still wouldn’t leave any room for anyone else. Not for a long time. Maybe not ever. They sat there in silence for a minute.

Finally, he sighed. “He seems…intense.” With a half laugh, she agreed, “You have no idea.” It was hard to believe their original affair had been as brief as it was. She’d fallen in with him so quickly, had been swept under by his looks and his charm and the way he touched her. The things he taught her body it could do.

But for all of that intensity, he’d never acted quite the way he had the other night. She chose her words carefully. He’s not usually like that had abuse victim written all over it, and she didn’t want to paint this in the wrong light. “For what it’s worth, he didn’t really know about you, either.”

“I may have gotten that,” he said, desert-dry. “Guy has a jealous streak a mile wide, huh?” “Apparently.” She took a sip of her coffee. Rylan’s possessiveness had taken her by surprise, opening her eyes. He’d always been so in control of himself before.

OceanofPDF.com chapter ONE “Then you had better make it count.” Rylan Bellamy’s heart pounded as he stared up at Kate, scarcely daring to believe what he was hearing.

He’d come to her prepared to beg—of course he had. She’d changed his life, made him want things he’d forgotten he could have. He’d do anything he had to for the chance to win her back. And yet somehow, a part of him had honestly never believed that she’d say yes. He remained there, literally on his knees for her, palms on her thighs and lungs burning as he waited for the catch.

But nothing about her expression changed. This was real. She was giving him his shot. Seven more nights together. Seven nights to prove he was the same man she’d fallen into bed with in Paris. Damn right he was going to make them count. Darting his gaze from her eyes to her mouth, he released his breath and licked his lips, flickering images of all the things he wanted to do to her heating his blood. Resolve made him firm up his grip.

He’d prove to her exactly how good they could be together. With his flesh, with his body. The only way he was sure he could.
