Sweet Surrender Maya Banks Novels & Stories

For one impossible moment, nothing else existed. Not the investigation. Not the secrets. Not the past. Just us. Just Ethan. Just this. His gaze dropped briefly toward my lips. Then returned to my eyes. My heart practically exploded. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Then— “OH MY GOD.” Both of us jumped immediately. Maya stood several feet away. Holding three muffins dramatically. Her eyes were huge. Completely horrified. Completely delighted. “I WALK AWAY FOR TEN MINUTES.”

“You have a natural capacity for surrender. A beautiful strength in your submission.” He let her rest against him until her breathing was steady, her mind clear. “When you are ready, you may get dressed,” he said finally. “There is no expectation beyond tonight. But if you wish to explore further… my card is on the table by your purse.” Maya dressed slowly, every movement reminding her of the evening’s sensations, the pleasant ache in her muscles, the warm sting on her skin, the deep, satiated throb between her legs. She picked up the plain black card from her purse. Just a phone number and an email address.

“How so?” Maya laughed softly. “Let’s just say she’s not exactly… from our world.” A pause. “She’s sweet,” Maya continued, her voice dripping with false generosity. “But she’s had a bit of a colorful past, you know.

I say. "Wait, what? Did you say that you love me? Are you crazy? I'm a pregnant woman. I've just been divorced. You can have any woman in this town and choose a woman like me. Come on, Nike. I know you feel sorry for me. I do not believe a word you're saying. Perhaps it is your father that got to you. I do not think you are in love with me for one second. I know you have tried to protect me downstairs, but I don't believe you love me. I think that you want to become a father. And I believe that your father has gotten into your head. I want you to think straight. Think about it for a moment. Do you want to be with a pregnant woman who has just been divorced from another man and is carrying hi

RYDER'S POV Maya bounces up to Ryder, her bright smile lighting up her face with a calculated, practiced radiance. She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him down with a sudden, jarring force, and plants a kiss squarely on his lips. Her mouth is soft, tasting of artificial strawberry gloss, but the contact feels invasive, like a violation of the air he breathes. Ryder doesn’t push her away. He stands there, his body rigid, a statue trapped in a moment he despises, and kisses her back. It’s a mechanical motion, lips moving without passion, his eyes still locked on Adrian over Maya’s shoulder.

The large, tattooed man was puzzled by a beautiful but slender woman: "Sorry, it can't be impossible, this is an order from the superiors we just follow." "Then call your superior to see me, I'll talk to him." Gemma frowned furiously and sat down, she couldn't believe that just hearing her name these guys wouldn't lend her money.
