Title: Stalemate
Author: Lisa Suzanne
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 31, 2017
Emme Ford loves her job as a bar promoter. She runs in the same circles as musicians and socialites, getting paid to party with them. She’s content with life just the way it is, and she has no interest in marriage, kids, or growing up. But what happens when the party’s over?
Axel Jones wants to marry Emme, but she denied his proposal. They both pretend it didn’t affect their relationship, but it did. A wedge divides them, and now they’re stuck in a stalemate. What do you do when one person wants more and the other doesn’t?
I know you desperately need to clean this office, but I don’t think drunk Emme is the best maid for you. I giggle as he flips on the light then kicks the door shut behind him.
His eyes land on me, and it’s only when I feel their searing burn wherever they land on my body that I realize the real reason he brought me back here. We didn’t come back here to clean.
I want to sass him, but my words die on my tongue as his gaze heats me all over. “Oh?” I say instead of something more articulate. Then why are we here? He takes a step toward me, and my heart races. This man still gives me butterflies even though we’ve been together for six months.
Sometimes the haze of tequila gives those butterflies wings, and right now they’re flying around my stomach like they’re trying to find their way out. I think you know. He steps closer to me, reaches out his arm, and runs a knuckle from my cheek to my jaw. I look up at him.
God, Emme, when you look at me like that…and that tequila you drank…a man can’t even form a goddamn sentence. What are you going to do to me? I whisper. His lips lift into a smile, but his beard hides it. He leans in close to me, so close I can smell him.
His lips close in toward my ear. I’m going to fuck you on my desk. Just on your desk Maybe against the door, too. What makes you so sure of that? He leans back and grins at me. You had tequila tonight. I nod in confirmation. I did. A lot.
You know I love it when you drink tequila. Remind me why again? Panty. Dropping. Juice. He presses kisses to my skin between each word, trailing from my ear toward my mouth, and then his mouth covers mine and there’s no more talking.
