stand" written all over him.
After one night with Meredith, Charlie needs more. She's intoxicating, and shockingly willing to give him total control of her body. When she agrees to spend an entire week with him at the lodge where he works, it's more than he'd hoped for. But Blaine Bridges, Charlie's best friend and boss, has his own secrets.

Excerpt
“This vein running along the top of
your foot is your heart line. You have secrets.”
The ache in her chest throbbed, but
she ignored it and said brusquely,“Everyone has secrets.”
He cocked his head and studied her
face, not her feet. Although her feet were very happy with the attention his
hands were giving them. “Yours are deeper than most. That’s why this vein is so
prominent.”
She tried to make her voice light
and teasing. “What kind of secrets?”
“Sexual.”
She laughed and relaxed. Everyone
had sex secrets.
“You like a little kink.”
She stiffened. “No.” Not anymore.
That hadn’t worked out well for her.
“Have you ever tried it?”
“I thought you were reading my feet,
not playing twenty questions.”
He chuckled. “So that’s a yes.” He
lifted one foot and peered at the bottom. “You don’t like being short.”
She rolled her eyes. “My feet didn’t
tell you that. My shoes did.”
His thumb pressed into her arch
again, sending her protests skittering. “You have a high arch, which means you
like to be in control.”
“Actually, it means I’m missing a
joint in the top of my foot. But never mind that. Don’t you like control?”
“Depends on the situation.”He
lowered her foot back to his lap and began that bone-melting massage again. He
looked thoughtful but didn’t speak for a while, long enough that she relaxed.
“What didn’t you like?”
“Hmm?”
“About the kink?”
She sighed. “The way the guy dumped
me after.”
His hands stopped. “He couldn’t
handle it?”
“I guess hypothesizing that your
girlfriend is a whore is more exciting than the actual experiment required to
prove it.” No, that wasn’t right. Dylan had loved the actual experiment. He
just hadn’t loved her afterward.
Charlie blinked. Perhaps she should
have put it in layman’s terms. Something like,My boyfriend dumped me after I simultaneously fucked him and his
roommate.
“Kink doesn’t make you a whore.”
“Depends on the kind of kink.”
“As long as it’s consensual.”
She shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. It’s
not like we’re in this for the long term. One hookup. If it’s good, a few more
before you leave town. Then we move on.”
He leaned toward her and touched her
chin with the tip of his finger. His calluses were rough and warm, comforting.
“Whoa. Slow down. Is that what you think this is? A hookup?”
She hadn’t wanted to discuss it, but
maybe it was better to get it out there. He’d probably be relieved to know that
she had no expectations beyond sex. “Charlie, I’ve had a nice time, but let’s
not make this into something more than it is.”
His eyes narrowed as if he was
studying her. What was he thinking? Was he deciding if she was worth the
effort? Huh. What effort? She was easy. Maybe he was thinking about the fun he
could have with the sexual deviant. Two weeks of no-strings-attached sex?
A slow grin spread from his lips and
crinkled the corners of his blue eyes. Oh yeah, he was definitely thinking
about sex. One finger drifted down the side of her neck, over her breastbone,
then veered left to the swell of her breast before circling her nipple and leaving
behind a tingling heat. She watched and wondered how long before he got to the
good stuff. Not that his hands didn’t feel nice. But she wanted her clothes
gone. She wanted his fingers teasing her bared nipples. He had sexy hands.
Darker than the rest of him, lean between the prominent knuckles. She liked
watching them.
Desire warmed and dampened her
panties. She wanted them gone too. Wanted his mouth on her clit, then his cock
inside her. She hoped he wasn’t one of those men who liked to draw things out.
Waiting wasn’t her strong suit. She didn’t understand women who wanted
prolonged foreplay. It didn’t make the orgasm any better. What was the point?
“You’re thinking too much.”
“I’m just waiting—”
“For?”
She almost said “for the good part,”
but that didn’t seem like the best idea. She didn’t want to deflate his, uh,
interest. On the other hand, if she told him she wanted a
slam-bam-thank-you-ma’am, he might be flattered.
As she wrestled with her answer, he
said,“Waiting’s good.” He swept her feet from his lap and they landed on the
carpet. “Stand up.”
