CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE is Now Available To Read 


CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
“Morgan, oh baby.” She was pressed against the wall with her legs wrapped
around him again when she felt his cock hard against her. She had a few seconds
of terror, but he touched her breast tenderly and ran his tongue along the curve
of her ear and she felt suddenly...safe. But they couldn’t, shouldn’t, do this. She
was sure there was a good reason, and as soon as he stopped touching her, she’d
remember what it was.
“I...I don’t know...this...this shouldn’t be happening. Nickolas, you don’t
want to do this, I’m...please...yes, no! Nick, stop now...oh yes, please.” She
couldn’t seem to make up her mind. Well, that wasn’t quite true. Her mind and
body knew exactly what they wanted. It was her mouth that kept trying to regain
control.
“I want you. I want you now, Morgan.” She felt the cool, air conditioned air
hum across her bared breast seconds before he laved it with his tongue. Her
nipple tightened and puckered hard against the roof of his mouth, the
combination of his hot, wet tongue and the vent making her ache with need. Her
body’s reaction to that was to arch into him.
Long ago, she thought she’d never want a man to ever touch her again.
Never want to feel one touch her in anyway whatsoever, for his body to come
over her, into her. Now, right now, she knew that she wanted Nickolas with a
desperation that she’d never felt before, nor would ever again.
Reaching between them, she cupped him, his cock against her hand. When
he pressed harder against her and suckled on her nipple, she felt the stirrings of
her first climax. Tightening her legs, using the wall as a brace, she moved up
around him. Their mutual groans of approval ran down along their skin and
throughout their bodies.
“Nick! Nick, open the door! We need to get in there.” She stiffened, as did he.
Morgan wanted to snarl at the man on the other side of the door, but froze in
horror. What were they doing?
“Just a...give me, us, a minute,” he yelled at the unseen man. He laid his head
against her breast and she whimpered when his breath moved across the now
sensitive nipple. He was shaking and it took her a few seconds to realize he was
laughing.
“This is not funny, you jackass. Let me down. I can’t believe...where are we?
You know, I don’t care. I want out of here, and don’t you dare touch...” His
mouth was on hers again and she moaned again as his tongue swept against
hers. Damn it, what was wrong with her? She was acting like a cat in heat.
When he pulled his mouth away, he moved to her ear again. “I want you.
And if Devin hadn’t have interrupted us, I’d be deep inside you right now and
we both know it. I didn’t intend for this to happen...well, yeah I did, but not in
the pantry of my parents’ home.” She watched as he gently pulled her blouse
back down. “Morgan, we’re going to have to walk out of here and they are going
to all be there, if I know them. Our best bet to get through this is to ignore them,
all right?” Nick moved her gently away from him and started to pull her top
back down, but brushed his knuckles across her nipple first. She arched into his
touch. “Ah, baby, this isn’t easy for me.” Quickly, he stepped back to re-snap his
jeans. She hadn’t even realized they’d gone that far.
When they entered the kitchen, with her once again in his arms, the room
was empty. Moving along the hall, they went back into the room where the large
TV was, and he sat her down on the couch. With a quick kiss and a “be right
back,” she was alone in the big room.
Morgan laid her head down on her hands. She had nearly had sex with him,
her boss, in the pantry of his family home. Were there even names for this kind
of conduct? Oh yeah, it was called stupidity.
Morgan jerked her head up when someone touched her arm. Meggie was
standing there beside her with doll and thumb. Morgan smiled at her, and pulled
her up into her lap to give and receive a hug.
“Hello, angel, how are you today?” The two of them conversed for several
minutes before Nick came back into the room with a plate and a glass. He set the
plate on the little side table next to the couch and handed her the glass of tea.
“Hey there, baby. How are my favorite girls doing?” He kissed his niece on
the head and sat down next to Morgan.
Morgan explained how Meggie wanted her to braid her hair back and asked
him if Spencer would mind.
“No, he’d probably be grateful for the help. He’s told me on several
occasions that he’d rather have his toenails pulled out than try and fix up her
hair.” Meggie’s long hair was thick and curly just like Morgan’s, with the
exception of the color.
Morgan didn’t have a lot of experience with kids, actually none at all if you
didn’t count the kids in the home with her. She turned the little girl around and
began combing the long tresses with the pink comb Meggie had brought to
Morgan. It took her about thirty minutes to get it in a reasonable order, and then
she began pulling the four strains together into a thick plat. When she reached
the end, she wrapped a band around the bottom and tied the bright, lemoncolored
ribbon around it. The second ribbon of the same color, she tied around
her thumb.
“This will be much prettier than it sticking out of your mouth, don’t you
think? I like it.” She kissed the tip of Meggie’s thumb and let her slip off her lap.
Morgan realized how tired she was and how badly her foot was thumping
about ten minutes later when Jacob and James came back in to resume their
game. She didn’t play much this time; her concentration was crap. She had made
the mistake, or not, of running her tongue across her lips and tasted him. Heat
built inside of her again. She could almost feel his body pressed against hers.
What the hell was wrong with her?

“Good morning, Diamond. And to what do I owe this pleasure—” 



“Don’t fuck with me and I won’t you.” He started to snap at her, but he simply nodded and sat down. “I’m here about my sister. She’s hurt, did you know that?” 



“I hurt her yesterday when I moved her away from…” Diamond was shaking her head. “Then I don’t understand. How else was she hurt? If you’re talking about the wound on her back, I didn’t cause that one.” 



“Jeffery Benetton did that and a great deal more to her. And yesterday trying to get away from you, she hurt herself even more. She had a broken rib and a gash on her left hip that I had to put fifteen stitches in after she went to sleep.” Diamond sat down across from him as she continued. “Did you know that she gave up everything to keep us safe from men like you?” 



“I’m nothing like Benetton, and I resent you coupling my name with his.” She only stared at him, and he shifted on his seat. “Why are you here?” 



“I came to see what kind of man you are. I’m not impressed.” 

Jeffery Benetton is the only other man that has ever shown an interest in Sapphire Erickson. And Sapphire had nearly killed him to protect her family from the sadistic bastard. She moves herself and her family into Blair Henson’s territory to hide protect her sisters from Jeffery. They are all she has in this world. Trust doesn’t come easy to her and the wounds she received from Jeffery won’t heal until she finds a new Alpha or a mate. Neither option holds any appeal to her. And the last thing she needs is another man ordering her around.

Blair Henson is the new Alpha in the territory. He has enough on his plate running his successful business, and doesn’t have the time or desire for a mate… When he meets Sapphire and recognizes her for who she is, his mate, the man wants to run in the opposite direction, but his wolf…he wants to dominate.

Blair tries to convince himself that he’s chasing after Sapphire because he feels an overwhelming need to protect her and she just won’t follow orders. When he comes across as a complete jerk, Sapphire really wants no part of him. Of course, leaving him isn't going to work…she's his mate. Now, if only he can get his head out of his ass, learn to treat Sapphire the way she should be treated, maybe, just maybe, there is a chance for them…that is unless Jeffery Benetton finds her first…




Thad moved slowly. For as much as he wanted her to tell him what was going on, the need to touch and be touched by her was driving him over the edge. Her scent, too, one he was sure didn’t come from a bottle or from soap. This time when he pulled her to him he didn’t let her pull back. 

“I want to taste you. Then I want to take you upstairs and fuck you. What better way to spend a hazy afternoon than getting sweaty between the sheets.” She pushed at his chest, but he didn’t let her go. “If I’m barking up the wrong tree, Nurse Ericks—” 

“I don’t bark, Mr. Galloway, I howl. And I’d appreciate it if you’d simply back the fuck up. I don’t want your attention or your speculations on what I should do with my spare time.” When she moved to walk away from him, he reached for her arm. He wasn’t used to people not doing what he wanted and she...intrigued him. But when he touched her, he hadn’t counted on her strength and found himself pinned against the wall, dangling a foot from the floor with a hand around his throat holding him there. 

Thad Galloway is a self-made billionaire. He made his fortune the old fashioned way―he earned it. When Thad speaks people jump and don’t argue, so he’s accustomed to getting what he wants. When a sassy nurse barks orders at him he is impressed that she stands up to him. He’s a Dom and wants Diamond to submit in the worst way. 

Diamond Erickson is the best nurse the small hospital has. She is just coming off three straight doubles and is looking forward to three days off when she let the doctor con her into working another half shift. She is beyond tired and has no patience for a bossy overbearing jerk who is going to hurt himself if he doesn’t do as he’s told. She gets a taste of his blood and realizes the handsome jerk is her mate. The last thing she wants is a mate―especially one into inflicting sexual pain… 

Thad soon learns that the world isn’t what he thought it was. He’s horrified to find out that Diamond isn’t human at all, she’s a wolf, and half his staff is one form of supernatural or another. 

He can bask in self-denial or pursue the best woman to ever walk into his life… 

Thad and Diamond are capable of a deep passionate love. Can they get past their differences to find out? Will Diamond warm up to Thad’s games? Find out in the second installment of the Rare Gems Series―Diamond. 


Jade can’t seem to catch a break. Her last boyfriend was a loser who took her bank account for a joy ride leaving her with a heap of debt. Now, the flower shop where she works has been sold and more likely than not she’s going to have to find another job. Her life is in turmoil and having to go home and see her sisters happy with their new mates is almost more than she can stomach. 

Jade isn’t impressed with the handsome new owner, Quentin Witt. The man is too blind to see that that girlfriend of his isn’t nice to his little girl, and the little girl is terrified of the woman and her uncle. It is time to go, to move on and start over. 

Quentin can’t let that happen. There is something about Jade that sets his blood on fire―they’re mates. He knows about her kind and that she’s a wolf. He has to stop her from leaving, but Jade has no time for boyfriends or mates. The last one took more than she had to give. 

Quentin’s brother is a wolf and his so-called girlfriend, Debra, is his brother’s mate. Those two are teamed together to swindle Quentin out of a good deal of money. But when their plans backfire, Debra resorts to more desperate measures. 

Now, they’re all in danger. Jade’s past has returned to destroy them all, and he has targeted Quentin’s little girl, Angie, to be the first to die….

CHAPTER TWENTY is Now Available To Read 


CHAPTER TWENTY
Morgan stood there for several minutes just staring at the wallpaper. It was
pretty, she thought, mauve flowers with tiny little blue and pink buds. He kissed
me. There were pictures on the wall of what appeared to be family members. One
looked like it could be Damon and Spencer as small boys. He kissed me on the
mouth. She’d never seen a toilet that was any other color than white, but both it
and the sink were a deep mauve. The light fixtures had the same pattern of
flowers wrapped around the glass domes that covered the blub. Right on her lips,
he kissed me.
Morgan realized that she had been standing there leaning against the counter
for too long when she heard a voice. It sounded like Mr. Parker asking Nick if
everything was all right.
“Yeah, Morgan just needed to go to the bathroom. I’m waiting to take her
back. I think maybe she might be hungry though.”
There was a mumbled response, but she had turned on the tap to cover the
noise of her going to the bathroom. Moving slowly so she didn’t bump her foot,
she stood up to wash her hands and then dry them. She had just turned off the
water when there was a short knock at the door.
“Almost finished. I’ll be out in a sec.” Morgan ran her fingers through her
hair and started to reach for the knob.
“Morgan, will you let me in, please?” It was Nick—Dr. Grant. She turned the
little tab and then opened the door to come out. He shouldered his way in before
she took a step.
“I...I’m finished. I was just...” His mouth covered hers and cut off her
sentence, her breathing, and her thought process.
Nick pulled her closer to him as she shifted around so that she was resting
on the counter. With a slight lift of her bottom, he lifted her injured foot by her
calf and wrapped it around his hip as he stepped between her legs.
“Morgan, give me your mouth. I want to taste you, please?” She felt his
tongue trace the seam of her lips and she opened them slightly. His tongue swept
inside and tangled with hers. She felt his groan rumble through his chest and his
hands tightened on her hips.
Morgan pulled back slightly and heard him growl before he allowed her to
pull back further to look up at him.
“What...you kissed me. You can’t just...I’m mad at you. I don’t want you to
kiss me.”
Of course, that would have been much more believable if she didn’t
currently have her ankles hooked around his hips, she thought with a grimace.
Apparently, he thought so too, because he grinned in response and kissed her
again, a short but no less heated one this time.
“I can tell. And you do mad very well.” With another grin, he scooped her
up into his arms and waited by the closed door until she turned the handle so
they could exit. She was really getting tired of being picked up all the time. By
the time she felt like she could say something to him about being mad at him, he
was putting her down in a kitchen chair where all the women seemed to have
gathered.
“Mom, I think Morgan could use some lunch. I know I can.” He ruffled
Jacob’s hair and kissed his mother on her cheek. He started introducing Morgan
to his aunts.
“Aunt Pea, Aunt Mary, this is Morgan Becky. She works for me and is our
guest. Morgan, these are my aunts Peabody and Mary, my mom’s sisters. Their
husbands, Thomas and Mike, respectively are in the living room with Dan
watching football. My two cousins, Tom and Janie, are Aunt Pea’s kids; they’re
watching the game as well. You’ve not met my brothers Jamie or Devin, but
they’re in there too, I think. I am a man on a mission and have come to rescue
and feed my poor injured damsel in distress.” She knew she was looking at him
oddly, but she couldn’t help it.
“Who are you, and what have you done with Nickolas Grant, the guy with
the rod for a spine and a pain in my ass?” It was out before she could stop it.
Startled with herself, she looked around the room.
His Aunt Pea was bright red with tears streaming down her cheeks and her
hand clamped tight over her mouth. Ms. Parker was staring at her with her
mouth opened and mirth evident in her bright eyes. But his Aunt Mary was
gulping in large gulps of air and braying with laughter. It wasn’t long before the
other aunt was hysterical too. Ms. Parker finally gave in and had to be lead to a
chair to try and gain control of herself. These people were nuts, Morgan thought.
Certifiably.
It wasn’t long before the boys were back with the other members of the
household and regaling the story for them. When Morgan chanced a glance at
Dr. Grant, she knew the true meaning of payback if his look was any indication.
And, oh boy, he was going to make her pay.
Morgan watched as he stalked toward her from across the room. She looked
around desperately for a way to escape, but there was nowhere to go. Standing
up and hanging onto the table, she started moving toward the little door to the
right of the sink. Almost there, she felt him snake his arm around her waist
seconds before he brought his mouth to her ear.
“I think not.” She felt his breath hot against her neck, his lips moving along
the shell of her ear. Had he of not pulled back when he did, she was sure she
would have leaned back into his chest and...she didn’t know what, but he felt so
good.
“Let me go. I’m sorry I want you to let me go.” Her voice sounded strange
and heavy. She was nearly panting by the time he picked her up with his arm
around her and turned her to face the room. They were still laughing when he
started nuzzling her neck, nipping at her tender skin. Before she could stop
herself, she was leaning into his embrace and turned to his mouth with hers.
“Please...?”
This kiss was different, it was...hungry. She was hungry for his mouth, his
taste. She was barely aware of him turning her in his arms and tightening his
hold on her, less aware of them backing into the room where she’d been headed.
The other people in the room disappeared with the closing of the door, the world
gone with the flick of the lock.
