 Tease, she muttered as she stalked from the office, his chuckle trailing after her.
As she approached her desk, one of the other female employees came up to her. Marty was it? No,
Marly. She d never cared much for the other woman. Her catty gossiping in the break room had grated on
her nerves more than once.
 So, you and Jackson have been pretty hot and heavy for& what? Three weeks now?
Grace had no idea where this conversation was leading, but knowing Marly, it wasn t going to make
her happy.  Uh, yeah, I guess. Grace took her purse off the back of her chair and turned toward the
woman.
 So, that means you have about a week left before he boots you out of his bed.

Ah, here it came. Envy, and it was never pretty.  You think?
The woman looked down her nose at her. Grace had never actually seen someone physically do that,
but Marly was quite capable, considering she was six-foot-three.  He never keeps a woman longer than a
month, she sneered.  Hope you didn t give up your apartment. You ll probably need it again soon, hun.
Grace stepped forward and gave her anger free rein.  Be very careful what you say about Jackson. I
don t much care for people who trash my family.
Marly stepped back.  He s not even close to being your family.
Grace stepped forward again, noting the way Marly paled.  He s mine, remember that. I protect my
own.
 No need to get nasty. I m just giving you a friendly warning. It s no skin off my nose if you don t
heed it.
She stomped off, leaving Grace in a predicament. She could clock the bitch, but then that wouldn t be
very professional. Or she could do the adult thing and let it go.
 She s not worth it, baby.
The deep baritone behind her had her pussy throbbing. She turned to find Jackson standing several
feet away, his hands in his pockets. She couldn t read his expression. Had he heard the woman s caustic
remarks?  She deserved a black eye for what she said about you.
Jackson closed the distance separating them and took her in his arms.  I love you, Gracie. I m not
getting tired of you. Give me about fifty years and maybe that ll change, but I highly doubt it will even
then.
 And I love you, she said on a sigh as she wrapped her arms around his neck.  Now, let s go home.
It s my turn with the rope.
 Uh, baby, I thought we talked about that.
Grace let her hand travel down his back to cup his ass.  Chicken?
His grin lit her on fire.  Bring it on, pet.

Taking Chloe
© 2009 Anne Rainey
Vaughn Series, Book 3
Merrick Vaughn couldn t be happier with this life. His business is jumping and his marriage to the
love of his life is about as good as it gets. At least, that s what he thinks& until Chloe announces she wants
to separate.
Stunned doesn t begin to cover it, but it quickly becomes clear that s she s dead serious. And if he
doesn t take action, as in now, he s going to lose the only woman he s over loved.
The last thing Chloe wants is a divorce, but she can t go on living with a virtual stranger who spends
all his time and hers behind a desk. It s tearing her apart, and taking a break to sort out her thoughts
seems her only recourse.
Then Merrick offers a wicked proposition: go to Hawaii with him for one week s vacation. After that,
if he hasn t successfully changed her mind, he ll let her go. No questions asked. There s only one caveat.
She must agree to give him complete control.
Chloe s intrigued and scared. One week in paradise might bring them closer or be their ultimate
undoing.
Enjoy the following excerpt for Taking Chloe:
 Because I want to, damn it, that s why.
Chloe rolled her eyes at Merrick s reason for wanting to shower with her.  It would be faster if you d
just let me finish.
 I m not leaving, so deal with it.
 We re never going to get to dinner if you don t leave, Merrick.
 Fuck dinner. I want to wash you, so scoot over. Besides, let s not forget the deal. I m in charge.
 Yes, you re in charge& of our fun. This is a shower.
 And a shower can be mighty fun.
Chloe wasn t sure why she continued to resist. As husband and wife they d showered together
hundreds of times. This time it seemed so different, as if it were the first time. A virgin on prom night
would be less jumpy, for crying out loud!
 Fine, but if we don t make our reservations, don t blame me.
His grin was one of pure male arrogance.  Duly noted.
Chloe tried not to drool when Merrick yanked his shirt off and tossed it to the bathroom floor. As he
undid the fly of his jeans and slid them and his black boxers down his powerful thighs, she gave up on
maintaining control all together. God, he was gorgeous. His muscled behind faced her, and if she leaned
toward him a few inches, she could take a bite out of his delicious flesh. He straightened and turned toward
her. His cock was huge. As she watched, it seemed to get even bigger. As her gaze snared his, he grinned.
She lit up like a Christmas tree.
 Those pretty eyes are devouring me right now, babe.
She pushed her wet hair behind her shoulder and tried not to let his sweet, hard body get to her& too
much.  I can t help if I like what I see.
 I like what I see, too. A lot, he growled.
He stepped into the tub with her. Chloe moved to the side to give him room. He was twice her size
and he took up most of the tub. Not that she was complaining. She couldn t remember the last time her
husband had taken the time to shower with her. Too long. Much too long.
 You re so beautiful, Chloe. Inside and out.
His words and the sincerity behind them filled her heart with warmth.  You haven t told me that for a
very long time. It s nice to hear compliments from you.
He slid the backs of his fingers down her wet arm, leaving little goose bumps in his wake.  You make
me want to slay dragons and shower you with diamonds, he murmured.  I m sorry I ve been so wrapped
up in work. I need to explain about that, but first I want to show you how much I ve missed you. May I?
He d melted her completely. She d become a useless puddle of pudding at his feet.
 Yes, she capitulated,  I think I d like that very much.
He placed two fingers against her lips.  Shh, it s okay, baby. We re going to take our time, go real
slow. I have a need to experience my wife to the fullest tonight.
She removed his fingers and asked,  What about dinner? She didn t really care about food, but she
should at least ask, for his sake.
 Screw dinner, he muttered. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
