From the USA Today
bestselling author of the Bliss series comes a new spin off series featuring
your favorite Bliss series characters who are yet to meet their match. This
time it is Zach and Danika's turn.
I’m a gamer by
nature and by profession. I’m all about strategy, performance, and coming out
on top.
Five months ago I
threw caution to the wind, and in the first miscalculated step of my
twenty-one-year life, I made a move on my brother’s best friend.
The first mistake
we made was keeping our relationship secret. The next was going off half-cocked
when a train wreck of epic proportions hit us.
Now our secret is
secret no more. As I struggle to deal with all of the swirling emotions,
conflicted feelings, and the multitude of burned bridges that I need to mend,
the one person who can help me through it all is the same man I need space
from.
To fix it I’ll have
to pull on my big-girl panties, focus on what I truly want in life, and put
everything I have into winning the most important game I’ll ever play.
Life is a game, and
it is what you make it.
Coming out unscathed is a whole other matter.
Prologue
Danika
“Yes,” I moan,
grinding down against him.
“Fucking
beautiful,” he says gruffly against my skin, his lips brushing my neck. His
breath comes hard and fast in time with the upward thrusts of his cock, and I
feel my orgasm barreling toward me.
“Feels so good,” I
pant. His hand tightens around my back and his fingers zero in on my wonder
button, stroking with expert precision and making my pussy clench around him.
My body contorting as if it’s possessed.
“Jesus. Fuck,” Zach
growls, planting his feet on the bed and thrusting up one last time before following
me over the edge as he pours himself inside of me.
We collapse
backwards, my legs falling limp on the way down, and together we lie there,
chests heaving, bodies stuck together, struggling to catch our breaths.
“Every time is
better than the last,” he murmurs in my ear, sucking my earlobe into his mouth
afterwards. I whimper and my muscles spasm as aftershocks course through me.
Shifting sideways, I stay draped over him, my fingers drawing mindless circles
in the smattering of hair on his damp chest.
“What’s on the
agenda today?” he asks, his hand running through my hair, roots to ends.
“Team meeting at
eleven, lunchtime conference call with the west coast programmers at one, then
I get to go play.”
“Such a geek.” He
chuckles. I jerk my head up and I narrow my eyes at him. He just smirks, and my
twitching lips give away how uncommitted I am to the death stare aimed his way.
“Your geek.”
“You better fucking
believe it,” he replies with conviction, his arm hooked around my waist, giving
a meaningful squeeze.
“I know it,
firebug.”
Now he out-and-out
grins. “Never going to live it down, am I?”
I push up with one
hand on the bed so that my head hovers over his, our lips just an inch apart.
“Never,” I whisper. “But that’s okay. I still love you.”
His entire body
goes still and my eyes go wide as realization hits me. Way to go, Dani. Freak
him out why don’t you.
My brain catches up
with my body and flight mode kicks in. I move quickly, rolling backwards and
scrambling off the bed. Making a smash-and-grab attempt, I scoop up my clothes
scattered over his bedroom floor, but the first step toward escape is hampered
by an arm wrapping around my waist.
I fall back and
slam into his naked chest, my entire body going still at the contact.
“Wait a minute,
Dani. You can’t say something like that then fly out of here like a bat out of
hell.”
“Bats like hell.
They live there.”
“They live in
caves. Stop trying to change the subject.”
Deciding that
redirecting this inevitable conversation is the best plan of attack, I
continue. “I really have to go, Zach. I’ve still gotta go home, shower, get
dressed, and then get to work.”
“It’s only six, and
you just told me your first meeting isn’t till eleven.”
“I’ve got a lot of
stuff to do before then.”
“I’ll drive you
home and to the office if it means you’ll turn around. I wanna look in your
eyes when I tell you I love you back.”
For the second time
in as many minutes, my heart stutters to a halt. There’s no way in hell I’m in
flight mode now.
Seven years ago, I
fell in teenage girl love with Zach Cooper, my older brother’s roommate and
best friend.
Five months ago, I
fell into adult insta-lust with him the night I told him what I wanted. I’d be
lying if I said I hadn’t imagined what it would be like to hear him say those
three little words.
What I didn’t know
was that just a few days after one of the best moments in my life—one of those
ones you know you’ll remember forever—everything would be turned upside
down.
And there wasn’t a
damn thing I could do about it.
