A jolt of heat shot straight to her core, and she instinctively arched against him. Mason growled; his mouth worked magic on her neck while his fingers set her on fire. She whimpered, her head falling back against the wall as his touch turned her brain into mush. His arm tightened around her, pulling her lower body against him, and the feel of his erection pressed against her belly made it obvious what he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>And at that moment, she wanted it too, wanted to feel his cock pounding deep inside her, driving them both to oblivion. But in a flash, her pleasure turned into panic at the sound of a car pulling into the parking lot. It was enough to snap her back to her senses, reminding her why this was wrong. Why they were wrong. How could she possibly think about giving herself to a man who wanted to bulldoze her family\u2019s farm?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Stop!\u201d Eyes heavy-lidded, he pulled his head back and shot her a confused look. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d She didn\u2019t answer. Mortified by her actions, she shoved him away and tugged her clothes back into place. Unable to meet his gaze, she rushed out of the tack room and into the stable.<\/p>\n<p>Mason\u2019s footsteps thudded close behind. \u201cWait. Talk to me, Kayla. What\u2019s wrong?\u201d Quickly, she scanned the area to make sure they were completely alone. Once she was certain they had privacy, she whirled around to face him. \u201cI can\u2019t do this.\u201d The confusion on his face gave way to irritation. \u201cYou can\u2019t, or you won\u2019t?\u201d \u201cDoes it matter?\u201d \u201cIt does to me.\u201d She blew out a frustrated breath. A few heartbeats passed while she stared up at him, desperately trying to untangle the knot of conflicting emotions inside her. When she finally forced the words from her mouth, her voice sounded small and unsure to her own ears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can I know you\u2019re not just doing this as some kind of end game for winning the bet?\u201d His frown tightened to a scowl. \u201cOh, for fuck\u2019s sake, is that what you think this is? Some kind of diversionary tactic?\u201d She squared her shoulders, even though uncertainty gnawed at her insides. \u201cIs it?\u201d \u201cOf course not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In two long strides, he closed the distance between them, moving deep within her personal space.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2016 by Lori Sjoberg Lori Sjoberg (2016-04-01).

His attorneys had been trying to get in touch with the owner for weeks, and he\u2019d finally decided to take matters into his own hands and contact the woman himself. Open fields banked each side of the tree-lined road, with one side sectioned off into what he assumed were paddocks for horses.<\/p>\n<p>The Phillips family had owned the property for close to a century, one of the last farms of its kind in the area. All of the other landowners sold out long ago, accepting generous cash payoffs in exchange for the deeds to their properties.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
