Fire and Ice (Firemen do it Hotter Book 1) Read online

  “Come, baby.” He gave a hard thrust.

  It drove her into a climax powerful enough to cause stars to whirl behind her eyes when she closed them.

  “Open your eyes.” His voice sounded hoarse as he ordered her.

  She obeyed. The moment their eyes met, his features tensed and he shouted out his climax.

  His cock throbbed within her as her core squeezed him. They way he pulsed inside her made her own climax carry on.

  When the last strains of their orgasms died down, he slipped out of her and brought her into the circle of his arms.

  He squeezed her to him. “What do you say about not taking the pill anymore, and having a baby?”

  She looked up at him in surprise, a different kind of warmth flowing over her. “Yes. I want a child with you more than anything.”

  He looked like he could burst with as much happiness as she felt. She shifted and felt his cock growing hard against her belly.

  She smiled, pushed him on his back, and straddled him. “I think we could use more practice.”

  “Practice makes perfect,” he said as they fitted together once again.

  She laughed. “I love you, Grady.”

  He caressed her cheek with his knuckles. “You’ll always be the love of my life.”

  “And you are mine.” She smiled and he kissed her as they became one again.

  Excerpt…Point Blank

  “Lawmen” series

  By Cheyenne McCray

  Brooks held Natasha close, whispering soft words as his arms enveloped her. “It’s going to be all right,” he murmured, but she only cried harder.

  It was clear she was in a hard place, and she felt she had nowhere to turn, and no one to talk to.

  If she wouldn’t share now, maybe he could get her to later. Maybe she needed time to trust him. For a long time he held her, feeling the softness of her body pressed to his, breathing in her scent so that it filled his entire being. The thud of her heartbeat matched his and it was as if he could feel the rush of blood race through her.

  Her body trembled even as he held her. He nuzzled the top of her head “Everything will be all right, sweet Natasha.”

  “If only I could believe that.” Her voice cracked.

  He slid his knuckles over her cheek. “Know that there’s nothing we can’t face together and triumph against.”

  His own words caused him pause. Where had that come from? He was talking as if they were together, a unit. As if he would be at her side, every step of the way, beyond that of being a Federal agent determined now to protect her.

  Maybe it was his weakness for vulnerable women that made him to feel so protective over Natasha. The strength of his belief that she was innocent floored him. Was it his weakness for women in distress that caused him to come to that belief?

  Despite the turmoil churning inside him, he relaxed as he felt tension drain from her body. She clung to him, appearing almost limp from exhaustion and turbulence that had clearly been raging through her.

  When had she begun to face alone whatever it was that had happened? “How long?” he said softly. “How long had this been going on?”

  “I can’t talk about it.” She clung to him. “Just stop.”

  He had no doubt it had happened sometime before he went to the tradeshow to pick her up. She’d changed from a vibrant joyous woman, to one filled with fear.

  Anger rose within him and he wanted to lash out beat the shit out of whoever had terrified her and threatened her. It had to have something to do with Mark Okle. Brooks wanted to kill the bastard.

  Her eyes were glossy with the tears she held in when tilted her head back. He hid his anger as their gazes met. He brushed loose strands of hair from her face and into the wind-tangled mass tumbling around her shoulders. “We won’t talk about it…for now.”

  She buried her face against his overshirt again. “You smell good.”

  “Not half as good as you.” He pushed his hand into her hair and his fingers caught in the tangles. He cupped her head and held her to him.

  She looked up at him, the back of her head still in his palm. Her eyes were wide and searching. She appeared confused yet certain, a combination he didn’t understand.

  Every thought fled as her inner glow, the person she was despite whatever had happened, shone like a beacon to his heart.

  “Kiss me.” A light burned in her eyes like a kindling fire. Flames of desire, need, and longing grew with every passing moment. “Please, Brooks.”

  He couldn’t refuse her. He lowered his head, gently brushing his lips over hers. She sighed into his mouth and raised herself on her toes as she pressed herself tighter against him and slipped her tongue into his mouth. She slid it out and lightly bit hi
s lower lip.

  A groan rose inside him. The fire he’d seen in her eyes turned into flames within his own body. The heat expanded as their kiss grew more intense and they demanded more and more of each other.

  The way her hands roamed his body—it was like she couldn’t touch him enough. She pressed her lithe body to his, stealing and lending warmth at the same time.

  “You feel so good.” She let out a sigh. “I feel safe with you. I could stay like this forever.” She snuggled even closer so that her body was flush with his.

  Need rose inside him. He couldn’t hide his desire as his cock hardened and pressed into her. His breathing grew more ragged. He couldn’t think clearly. All that would come to mind was burying himself deep inside her, the two of them intertwining in every way possible.

  She parted her lips from his. “I love how hard your body is.” Her hands didn’t stop moving. She caressed his chest and slid her palms over his clothed body.

  “You’re so damned soft.” He cupped her ass and pressed her tightly to him. “You’re so beautiful inside and out. Every inch of you is perfect.”

  “You need to take your shirts off. I want to touch your skin,” she said a moment before her fingertips brushed his holster. She went still and looked up at him. “I keep forgetting who you are.”

  “Being an agent isn’t who I am.” He slid his arms out of his overshirt and tossed it aside. “It’s what I do.”

  She traced her fingers along his shoulder holster strap. For a fraction of a moment, he wondered if she was using him and if she would go for his gun and pull it on him. He dismissed the thought at once. That wasn’t Natasha.

  He unfastened the holster and removed it before he laid it on a nightstand beside the bed and moved his hand away.

  When did he decide he was going to go to bed with her?

  Christ. It was a bad idea. A very bad idea.

  Especially since he hadn’t told her why he was really there. He couldn’t take another step without telling her everything, and now was not the time.

  He started to reach for his holster to put it back on. He would tell Natasha that spending the night together would be a mistake they both might regret.

  Before he could complete the movement, she pulled her blouse over her head and dropped it to the floor.

  Excerpt…Zack: Armed and Dangerous

  By Cheyenne McCray

  Frankly, Zack wanted to get out of the restaurant and out to his truck. He’d never screwed in the cab before, but at the moment it was looking real good.

  Sky glanced up from the dessert menu and licked her bottom lip. “Why don’t we share a piece of chocolate cheesecake?”

  Zack could hardly form a coherent thought, as all his blood had settled in his groin, so he settled for a quick nod.

  In a few minutes, the waiter returned with the slice of cheesecake and set it in front of them with two forks. Raspberry sauce drizzled down one side of the dessert.

  Sky dipped her finger in the sauce and sucked it off. “Mmmm, this is heaven.”

  Zack thrust his fork into the cheesecake. “I know what’s even better.”

  She gave him a seductive smile. “Oh, you do?”

  As he held the bite of cheesecake in front of her lips, Zack’s right hand glided up her thigh, over the silky stockings, and to the bare flesh above

  She gasped as his hand traveled beneath her dress to the wisp of satin thong beneath. “Zack,” she whispered, but he slipped the bit of cheesecake into her mouth.

  “Better than cheesecake.” He skimmed the crotch of her thong, and smiled when he felt how damp it was.

  Excerpt…Taken by Passion: King of Hearts

  “Wonderland” series

  By Cheyenne McCray writing as Jaymie Holland

  Jarronn stroked Alice’s long blonde tresses from her eyes. “You are lovely beyond any woman I have ever known,” he whispered, and her smile dimmed. He cupped her chin and frowned. “Why do you not see your own beauty?” Her lower lip trembled and he witnessed a thousand heart-wounds in her eyes. Anger at those who had hurt his future queen roared through him and he bit back a snarl of rage. Who dared to make his precious Alice feel as though she were anything but the beautiful, sensual woman he clearly recognized her to be?

  Alice must have seen the fierceness in his eyes and thought his rage was directed at her. She swallowed, then hurried to answer. “I’m fat. I’m not slender and gorgeous like Kalina, or even my sister, Alexi.”

  Jarronn had to rein in his anger. He stroked his knuckles down her cheek and she shuddered with obvious desire from the contact. “I do not understand,” he murmured. Very slowly he began touching her body, stroking the firm flesh of her arms, caressing her beneath his callused palm. “You are so enchanting, your body so lovely, that I fail to see why you do not recognize your gifts.”

  Pink tinted Alice’s cheeks. “Where I come from, a woman is only considered beautiful if she’s thin and has a perfect figure.”

  “It is clear your world is not deserving of you.” He scowled at the thought of anyone treating his future queen with anything but the utmost respect and awe. “You are perfect,” he murmured, and before she could argue he lowered his head.
