Illicit Monster (Discreet Paperback)

Don't let her get under your skin. I'm the one in charge.

I step toward her, reach around her head, and take a handful of her hair in my fist. I gently tug it, and she inhales sharply. Her eyes widen. I lean over her so our mouths are only an inch apart, studying her perfectly plump lips.

"Stare much?" she mumbles.

"How old are you?" I ask.

"Twenty. How old are you?"

"Thirty-eight."

"Do ya always go after younger women? Ones you can take advantage of?" she asks.

"Tell me how I'm taking advantage of ya, Maeve."

She says nothing, keeping her intense glare on me.

"I gave ya a choice. Ya made your decision. Ya could have told me to kill your da, but ya didn't. Ya chose to marry me."

More hatred fills her. "Ya know I would never let ya kill my da."

I insist, "But that's your choice. We all have choices, lass. I make mine, and you make yours."

She shakes her head, not that she can move it a lot. I have a firm hold on her.

Father Michael comes in and clears his throat. "Sorry, am I interrupting?"

I wait a moment, release Maeve, then turn to face him, sliding my hand around her waist. "Not at all. Let's get this show on the road."
