For Her Pleasure Read online

  “Not a chance,” she said. “If I think about you, I’ll probably burn everything I make. I have a job to do.” Annie had opened a kitchen for the poor six years ago when the economy had taken a dive. Though things had gotten markedly better, many people were still out of work and hundreds still needed her help. Six days a week one could find her at the storefront in the middle of town cooking—sometimes for upwards of a hundred people. Usually it took hours to complete, but she had plenty of volunteers and always managed to provide people with at least one good meal a day.

  He grinned “I feel like I’ve stepped into a wet dream. I never thought I’d ever touch you like this or kiss you or make love with you. I never imagined you’d be comfortable standing here naked with me. Damn, I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

  She smiled and leaned into him. “Next week, I’m going to need your help. Families come in with dozens and dozens of kids on Christmas. Most will find nothing under their tree. This year, I had Mortimer Department Stores donate a truckload of toys or games for the boys and dolls for the girls. Plus, there will be even more food than usual. Could you get a few of your hands to help me?”

  “Help you what?” he asked with a frown. “As long as it’s not a repeat of last night, I’d do just about anything for you.”

  Annie laughed and set his mind at ease. “I need help wrapping the gifts, silly. Last night was wonderful. Thank you for that. But I won’t be askin’ for a ménage again.”

  He nodded with a satisfied grin, dipped a little and brought her into his arms. He walked into her bedroom. “Just tell me what time, and I’ll make sure they’re at the kitchen, but for now, I need a little taste to hold me over ‘til tonight.”

  “Grady, we just did it five minutes ago in the shower. You can’t be ready for more so soon.”

  “I’m not, but I want to taste you just once more before I go. I want to think about you, while I’m herding cattle in from the north pasture today. Every time I lick my lip, I want to remember you.”

  “Oh, taste me,” she said with a soft giggle, as if she was suddenly clear as to what he was about. “I suppose I have a minute or so for that.”

  She cried out as he suddenly dropped her on the bed, her legs dangling over the edge. She laughed at his less than gentle treatment. On the floor, he knelt between her legs. “I wish I could tell you how beautiful you are. How beautiful these golden curls are,” he said as he fingered her pussy. He glanced up. “Can I shave it tonight?”

  She swallowed and murmured a low, “Oh boy.” Then thinking on his words, she asked, “You just said it was beautiful. Now, you want to shave it?”

  He shook his head in the negative. “You’ll scarcely know the difference. It’s so pretty, I just need to see a little more of it.”

  Her gaze widened as she grinned. “That sounds interesting.”

  “Just talking about it is getting you aroused,” he noted with a barely suppressed smile as his finger brushed against her hardening clit. “Look.”

  Propped up on her elbows she watched her body’s helpless reaction to his words. “I know,” she said.

  “I need a few licks then we can go.” He glanced at her window and the rising sun. “I should have been out of here an hour ago.”

  She nodded in understanding. He didn’t want to leave, and she didn’t want to see him go. It was then she realized she hadn’t been able to stop touching him since they’d hooked up last night. Doug had been a pleasant addition, enhancing a night she’d always remember with fondness, but it was this man who really held her interest.

  She’d come to him, her self-esteem shattered. Of course, it couldn’t be completely restored in one night, but Grady had clearly begun the process. She wasn’t about to rush into anything, but she had a feeling, he might be all a girl could ever need.

  Her eyes closed in pleasure as she leaned back and his tongue hot, thick and heavy slipped deliciously into her pussy. “Take your time,” she murmured. “Take all the time you want.”

  About the Author

  Patricia Pellicane lives with her husband on Long Island in New York. Her six children live in neighboring towns as do most of her sixteen grandchildren. Her favorite hobby is reading. Patricia insists her ideas for stories come while doing dishes. “Could anything be more boring? It’s nearly impossible to keep your mind from wandering.” In a recent interview she was asked. How hard or easy is it for you to write? Patricia returned with, “Someone once wrote. ‘Writing is easy. All you have to do is put a sheet of paper in a typewriter and stare at it until blood forms on your forehead’. Sometimes writing is exactly like that. And other times it’s a wondrous happening where words flow from mind to fingers to computer screen almost without conscious thought. It doesn’t matter which way it works for you. Once a writer begins the journey, they’re hooked. It’s a drug and you can’t stop looking for that next story, that next high.”

  Sassy’s Studs by Dakota Rebel

  Vegas Bound, Book One

  Sassafras Jones had been working as an architect in Los Angeles until the economy tanked and she was forced to move back home to Las Vegas to live with her mother. Taking a job as a cocktail waitress wasn’t exactly a lateral career move, but she was to the point that she would take what she could get.

  Sassy never could have guessed that she would find herself back in the company of her old college friends, and crushes, Ryan Ducheine and Colbie Hammond. But after a chance meeting with them both she begins to wonder if maybe moving back home was the best decision she ever could have made. And when their feelings for her become clearer, she realizes that no matter what ‘bad boy’ image they both managed to project to the rest of the town, she may actually belong firmly in both their hearts of gold.

  Untainted by Kris Norris

  What Remains, Book One

  Resplendence New Reality Signature Line

  The apocalypse has passed. The dead have risen. But what remains…

  Colby, Darcy and Barrett are hardened soldiers with a new war. A deadly disease has decimated the human population, reducing it to small pockets of survivors who fight daily again the raging hordes of undead plaguing the planet. The three men are part of a recon mission, scouting locations where humans have been reported still alive amidst the dead. But after ten months of searching, they're ready to give up.

  Abby Brennigan has been surviving on her own for half a year, hiding out in an old abandoned control tower. She hasn't seen anything remotely alive in what feels like forever, until the three men stumble upon her hideout and into her heart. She'd promised herself she wouldn't get close again…wouldn't put herself through the torture of watching another person she cared about slowly fade until they turn into a monster straight off the pages of a horror novel.

  But the boys aren't taking no for an answer and as they face one test after another, the big question is—how long can they all remain untainted.
