WORTH THE WAIT

BUY:

Synopsis:

I like to think of myself as a man of pleasure…I enjoy a good pint of ale, being in the arms of a beautiful woman, and living by my own rules. The only thing I try to avoid? Commitment. And I’ve got a three-year success rate to prove it.

I wasn’t planning on Grace—the beautiful, funny, totally off-limits massage therapist who keeps popping up in my life. She’s on a six-month mission to rid her life of toxins. No alcohol. No red meat. And, yeah, no men. I’m talking full-on man cleanse.

I know I should walk away, but I can’t…and the only way to keep her in my life is to live by her rules. I’ll need to prove to a woman who’s lost all trust in men that I’m worthy of her love. And do it all without so much as a single kiss.

The only problem? If I win, I’ll lose the one thing I swore I’d never give up. My heart.

EXCERPT 

“I want it to be you, too,” she blurted, and he could hear the tremble in her voice. Because here they were, six days into their friendship, admitting it might not be enough, that there might be something more brewing beneath the surface.

She chewed her bottom lip, and then her expression broke into the biggest, most beautiful smile he’d ever seen, and Jeremy knew he was in deeper than he’d ever meant to go. Yet he had no intention of swimming back to the surface.

“I’d give my right hand to kiss you right now,” he said. He watched her neck as she swallowed and knew he was pushing the envelope, but he couldn’t help it. She wanted him, too.

“Are you right-handed?” she asked, her eyes sparkling now with a mischief he’d never seen before.

He nodded.

“Then don’t do that. Makes it harder to imagine what that hand could do to me in three months.”

Holy shit. He was hard as a rock in a millisecond. What was she doing?

“Do you have any obligation past your ten o’clock deadline?” he asked, wanting to whisk her from this place and then…what?

She shook her head. “Not really. I just have to post about my experience on the Facebook page—per the contract— then I’m free. What did you have in mind?”

Christ. He had a lot of things in mind, but he couldn’t do any of them.

“How about this?” she continued. “You go home and get comfortable. I’ll go home and do this little post thing. Then I’ll call you, and we’ll see if we can’t do something…together.”

Fuck. She was serious. He swallowed hard.

“Can you elaborate on that, please? Because if I let my imagination run with this and I’m misinterpreting you, there’s a certain vital organ of mine that will be really disappointed.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Your heart?”

He fought the urge to adjust himself right there in the chair.

“You’re not going to make this easy, are you?” he asked.

She shook her head slowly, leaning toward him over the table. “Why would I do that when it’s so fun to watch you squirm?”

And squirm in his fucking chair he did. “Do it now,” he insisted.

“What?”

“Do the post now. Then get in a cab and go home. Better yet, do the damn post in the cab. I’ll walk so it takes me a little longer to get to my place. Then call me the second you walk in the door. I mean, as soon as that door closes behind you, have my number up and ready, and then hit send.”

I can touch myself all I want.

He let her words play on repeat inside his head, not caring that his dick throbbed, that he ached like he’d never ached before. Because he was going to talk her into the biggest fucking orgasm she’d ever had. Even if it brought him to his knees.

And he knew it would.

They walked to the door together, wordlessly. He whisked Grace out the door and put
her in a cab.

“Talk soon,” she said, before he closed the door.

All he could do was nod.

Her voice and her words remained on loop as he made his way back to his apartment, though this time his limp had nothing to do with his leg.

It's fine. That accent won't get to me, no matter how sexy it sounds when he asks permission to do things professionals shouldn't do. On the couch. In the corner office I still wish was mine.
