Chapter 11: Pleasure Games part 1

A tremor rushed through her limbs. Oh, God, he was magnetic. She was torn between latching onto his unyielding lips and running for her life. "I will... of course I will," she breathed. A cloak of stillness settled over her. All she was aware of was his hand. As he trailed his thumb down to graze her shoulder, sweeping a strand of hair back with the ghost of a touch, he swallowed audibly. "Look at me like you always do." "How?" "You know how." There was a deep-seated need in his eyes—a thirst she didn’t know how to appease, calling to a throbbing, aching void inside of her. "Like you care for me. Like you need me." "I do." She shook her head, trying to straighten her thoughts. "I mean—I am. I will." She shut her eyes tight, fearing he would see the truth in them. She was terrified Henri would realize she’d been secretly enamored of him since the first morning she’d stepped into his office. He was overwhelming—so dark, so masculine, so utterly out of her world. And now,

Chapter 12: Pleasure Game part 2

Cautiously, as though petting a lion, she turned his hand over and set her cool, small palm against his. She gingerly laced her fingers through his. At the unexpected touch, a violent ache tightened low in his gut. His head fell back against the seat, a groan welling deep in his throat. Paralyzed by a sudden, sharp arousal, he dragged in a terse, uneven breath and squeezed his eyes shut.She inched closer, tightening her grip until her lips came within a breath of his ear. "Does that satisfy you, Your Highness?"He didn't let the emotion show, but the surge of heat made his limbs tremble. "Come closer," he said, his voice thick.I want her. The thought was a roar in his mind. He wanted all of her—right here, in the dark, right now.He inhaled deeply, his chest near bursting with her scent. Clean, womanly, sweet. "Closer," he repeated, hearing the predatory growl in his own words.When she hesitated, he glanced down at their joined hands. She was tiny and fair, her hand nearly eng

Challenge 13: The boss and the forbidden kiss

"Kiss you."She absently fingered his cross where it peeked through the collar of his shirt. Henri went utterly still. The gesture was too sweet, too unexpected—and far too painful. Her fingers reached his throat, tracing the heavy links of the chain.Too aware of her touch, he dropped her hair and squeezed her elbow, a silent plea for her to stop or to go further. Elizabeth. Your mouth. On mine. They had been engaging in foreplay for a year—in every lingering glance, every flick of her hair, every accidental smile.She drew back and laughed, a choked, strained sound. "Now?" She looked at him as if she couldn't believe her own ears, searching for the right words to deny him.He had never wanted to feel a body as much as he wanted to feel hers. And her mouth—he would give anything to taste it. For the first time in his life, he felt a desperate need to be reckless. Her lips promised a world of innocence and affection he had never known.Without another thought, he pulled her clos

Chapter 14: A mesmerizing kiss

Elizabeth had meant for a quick kiss. Only a taste. A taste to satisfy her curiosity, her need. A taste because she could not—could never—deny this man. But when he pulled her down and his mouth, strong and fierce and hungry, touched hers, there was no stopping the tide that crashed over her.They’d been panting and laughing; he’d been teasing her and had pulled her onto his lap. Pretending had been so easy, but now… now her mouth, this man, and the hand gripping the back of her head were too real. Rough. Raw. Devastating.She moaned helplessly as he slanted his head, murmuring something indiscernible, his hot tongue tangling with hers. His hard need grew more insistent against her, and the realization that he truly, desperately wanted her battered through her defenses.He began to take little nips, his lush, sure lips moving against hers until flutters erupted in her stomach and fireworks exploded in her mind."Tu as le goût du miel," he whispered—an aroused rasp against her lips

Chapter 15: Pretense and desire

Not good, any of it. Not the blender her emotions were in, not her tilting world, and certainly not the fact that she was already anticipating—wondering—what it would feel like to kiss him again. Freely. Wildly. Without restraint. She would have to stall. Abstain. Ignore him. If she did something to compromise her job, she would never forgive herself, and nothing compromised a career quite like sex. And if she compromised her heart? She stiffened, firmly putting a lid on the thought. Her mother had loved her father with a quiet, steadfast devotion, and Elizabeth wanted that same kind of love. She had promised herself that if she ever gave away her heart, it would be to someone reliable and devoted—someone who valued her more than his games or his ego. No matter her shockingly visceral response to Henri, he was still everything she should be wary of. Worldly, sophisticated, and ruthless, he was a man enamored of the challenge, the risk, and the job. The last thing she could imagi

Chapter 16: Amorous Thoughts

His silence was so prolonged she felt deafened. Was she here for another reason? A reason other than what he had requested of her? An intimate, wicked, naughty reason? She could tell by the set of his jaw that if he had a hidden agenda, he wouldn’t be admitting to it now. "At what time should I wake up tomorrow?" "We have a late lunch; no need to rise with the sun," he said. She gestured toward both ends of the hallway, needing to get away from him—and wishing she could get away from herself. "And my room?" "Pick the one you like." She felt his gaze on her, sensing it like a fiery lick across her skin. She stepped toward the first door and peered inside: a large four-poster bed draped in white and brown linens. It was beautiful. She moved toward the other room, feeling his eyes follow her every move. The lamplight cast his face in a mellow, golden glow. He looked like an angel who had just escaped from hell—the kind of angel she wanted to sin with. "I guess ei

Chapter 17: The boss bold proposal

"Good morning." "Sleep well?" "Of course. Wonderfully well. And you?" "Perfectly." That was the extent of their conversation the next morning over breakfast—until Henri began folding his newspaper. "A favor from you, Miss Stone?" Elizabeth glanced up, her heart hammering at the sight of his clean-shaven face. A kiss, she thought, a sudden tightness knotting her stomach. A touch. God, just one more kiss to overwrite the memory of the first. With her mind conjuring the image of Henri Gagnon’s lips on hers, she flushed so deeply her skin felt scorched. She toyed with her French toast, trying to keep her voice steady. "Nothing too drastic, I assume?" she asked, though a hint of giddiness slipped through. "Drastic?" he repeated. She shrugged. "Oh, you know… murder, blackmail. I don't think I could get away with those." His eyes glinted with amusement as he shook his head, though his smile quickly faded. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "What kind of bo

Chapter 18: Business, Pleasure and Past Secrets

"I—I can't do this."His hands slid down to the small of her back, his fingers splaying wide as he pulled her into the warm, solid length of his body. "You can," he countered, his voice a low vibration she felt in her own chest. "Your body speaks to me, Elizabeth. It molds to mine. Say the words."There was no escaping his stare—dark, demanding, and entirely too knowing. "I can’t, Henri."With a low growl of frustration, he jerked free. For a blinding second, she thought he might storm out. Instead, he paced to the window, his large frame silhouetting against the light, radiating a restless, magnetic energy that seemed to make the walls of the room close in. He leaned heavily against the frame, staring out at the city."The first moment I set eyes on you, you planted yourself in my mind," he said, his back still to her. "I am going insane because once, Elizabeth, I was sure you were crazy about me. I see it in the way you look at me—perhaps others don't notice, but I do. Why do y

Chapter 19: The meeting

She shivered in a primal, feminine response to the smooth touch of his lips and impulsively grazed her fingers down his face. "You didn't see your father before he died?" she asked quietly.His eyes darkened with emotion. "No," he said. This time, when he kissed the back of her hand, he did so lingeringly, holding her gaze. Her temperature spiked; how did he do this to her?His pain streaked through her as though she’d adopted it as her own. She ached to make him feel better, to draw the darkness from his eyes, to kiss him… to kiss him everywhere. She brushed her fingers against his rough jaw instead, unable to stop herself."Perhaps he knew you loved him, and he understood you kept to your pride—just like he did," she suggested."Henri? Love? He wouldn't know love if it trampled him," Marie scoffed. She frowned at Henri, then sobered quickly when he swiveled around to send her a chilling look. "It's my fault anyway. That you left. I've paid dearly for my mistake, I guarantee it,

Chapter 20: Passionate Confrontation

Elizabeth had changed. She was different, and yet, it was all the same for him—that familiar, coiling hunger in his gut.As they reached their rooms, his spirited assistant seemed to be struggling to process the scene they'd just left. They’d had such an enjoyable morning that he’d been certain he knew where they were heading tonight. Now, he wasn't sure of anything—a feeling entirely unlike a Gagnon.He led her to the center of the room and simply stood there, his gaze devouring her. Every muscle felt stiff, his pulse thrumming with a merciless ache. The slightest movement sent a lance of arousal through him. Was she disappointed in him? Had he lost her admiration because of his father?His insides twisted. He stepped toward her, his thoughts tangled and congested. He eyed her in silence as he yanked at his tie, stripping it from his neck with a harsh breath."I'd say that went well," he rasped.She tilted her head, her eyes tracking the heavy rise and fall of his chest. He watc
