person she’s desperate to hide.

discovers losing control may be exactly what he needs. Her blossoming
sensuality occupies his every thought, consuming him with the need to possess
the most intriguing lover he’s ever encountered—until he walks into the
boardroom and sees Heather on the other side of the negotiating table.

his grasp.

Word HOT Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Vanilla on Top
I
smirk with a confidence I’m not completely feeling. “Nice of you to join me,
Tony.” I relax against the brick and check him over from head to foot, making
sure he knows with just my eyes exactly how desirable I find him. You can do this, don’t panic. He won’t laugh
at you.
I nod toward the stacked chairs. “Take off
your coat.” He slips the expensive garment from his shoulders, pulling the
starched fabric of his shirt across his defined chest. I nod my approval and
his eyes glint with desire in the dimming light.
He
smiles, seemingly eager to play whatever game I’ve got in mind. “Anything else?”
I
push down my inner anxiety and grin, in what I hope is a teasing manner. “Your
tie.”
His
eyebrows shoot up, but he loosens the knot and pulls the material free. The red
silk slides over his shirt, and then is tossed carelessly toward his coat.
Holy
crap, he’s doing it. He’s listening to me. What now?
“Unbutton
the top two buttons of your shirt.” The command springs unbidden to my
thoughts.
He
complies and reveals the golden skin below his throat, with a few stray chest
hairs visible near the neck of his undershirt. He looks so good I’d like to
grab his shirt and rip it open, licking the skin as it’s uncovered.
Holy
cow, where did that come from? I’m not this aggressive woman I’m pretending to
be.
“How’s
that?” he asks.
My
pulse pounds so loudly in my ears I can only nod, afraid I’ll give too much
away if I answer. I clear my throat, reaching for nonchalance. “It’ll do.” My
hands slide to my hips and I take the plunge, pouring every ounce of courage I
possess into my next actions.
I
grab my skirt’s black material and work it slowly up my thighs. Tony’s eyes grow
round as he follows my movements.
“Get
down on your knees,” I say, forcing out my voice in a firm tone. Keep it together, girl! He looks like he’s
game. Keep going.
I
tug the fabric up, until my skirt scrunches up around my waist and my black
lace underwear is bared to the night air. The handsome man’s breath rushes out
and I worry he’s going to balk, leaving me here with my skirt rucked up like a
fool.
The
intensity of the sexual moment overwhelms me a bit and I slide a finger over my
heated mound, teasing the aroused flesh underneath. Desire pushes me to be
bold. “Did you not hear me, Tony?” Strength pours into my voice, making me
sound more sure of myself than I feel. God, if he laughs at me now, I’ll die.
Tony
steps closer and sinks to the cobblestone terrace, reaching with two eager
hands toward my hips. He buries his face in my crotch and breathes deeply. “You
smell so good.” He rubs his cheek back and forth against my panties. “What do
you want me to do?”
A
shudder ripples through me as the breath of his whispered voice warms my skin
through the thin lace. He wants me to
tell him what to do. I can do this.
“Kiss
me,” I rasp, my voice barely above a whisper.
His
soft lips press against the thin garment as the heat from his flesh teases me
higher. My every sense feels on high alert during this encounter. I’ve never
done anything so daring in my entire life. The next kiss presses harder and
little shocks of arousal dart through my core.
“That’s
nice,” I say, resisting the primal urge to grind myself into his face. “But I
need more.”
I
glance down into Tony’s light brown eyes and see an intensity I’ve never seen
on a man’s face. To know it’s directed toward me feels even more amazing. “Tell
me what you want.” His hot hands skate up my thighs to rest near the aroused juncture
between my legs.
I
feel the wetness pooling in my panties, my body eager and ready to be with this
man I just met. More than anything I want his fingers teasing me to a release.
“Slip your thumbs under my underwear and stroke me.”
He
pulls his hot lips away from the damp cotton panel of my panties and breathes
deep. “Yes, ma’am.”
A
prickling ignites my skin, sending the hairs on end when he calls me ma’am. I like it.
I
like it a lot.
Two
thick digits slide under the delicate fabric, one angling for my aroused bud
and one slipping deeper toward my waiting wetness. A jolt of pleasure rips
through me the second his thumb makes contact with my clit. An instant later,
his other thumb presses against my tight opening.
“You’re
very wet.” His voice rumbles into the evening, almost reverent, like I’m a
precious object he’s not sure how to handle. “I want to taste you.”
“Not
yet.” There’s no way I could handle his mouth right now. I’d lose it completely
and my credibility on driving the bus in this scenario would blow up in my
face. My breath hitches and I gather myself, aiming for calm, cool and
collected. “Only when I say.”
A
moan of protest echoes into the night, cutting off when his hungry kisses
pepper my thighs. My legs widen of their own accord and I slide down the cool
brick a fraction of an inch, heedless of the snags my clothes will receive. The
stiffness of his thumb pushes deep inside me and after a few plunges a small
groan erupts from my lips.
It’s
been months since I’ve been with anyone. I’m so turned on by this man doing
exactly what I want, what I told him to
do, that I fear I won’t last long. The slick pressure on my clit starts to
circle, driving me even higher.
“Come
here and kiss my mouth,” I say. His hands pull away and I feel bereft of his
touch. I hastily add, “Don’t stop touching me. Use your fingers instead.”
In
a flash, the sexy businessman stands, ravaging my mouth with a passion I’ve
never had directed toward me. A deep rumble sounds in his throat while his lips
cover mine. The frenzied action reveals his pent-up arousal and desire, and I’m
almost giddy with the power surge I feel. He truly wants me. Not just what I
can do for him, but wants me and what I’m making him feel. What a rush!
Two
slick fingers pump into my sex while Tony sucks on my bottom lip, nipping it
once in his haste. He leans in to deepen the kiss and the length of his erection
presses against my hip. I want nothing more than to tell him to take me right
here—to beg this gorgeous man to do me until I scream his name—but a part of my
brain still holds on to the act.
I
bet he can have any woman he wants any time. I need to stand out from the others. For once, I want to be the
desired one. My mind empties as exquisite waves of pleasure build and spill
through my limbs.
I
break the intense kiss to focus on what I need to do. “On your knees,” I
whisper. “Now.”
