drew back to stare deep into her
eyes.
    “I want more,” she hissed, her
hungry hands enclosing his muscled shoulders and pulling him closer
still.
    These same hands rose to her lips
seconds later, to still their errant words.
    “What am I saying?” she shook her
head, struggling to clear it of its horny haze. “I have a
boyfriend, one who also happens to be your other manager
…”
    “And as far as I can see,” Landon
interrupted, rolling his eyes heavenward, “he reeks equally at both
jobs.”
    Beth laughed in spite of herself,
laying a playful slap across his bulging chest.
    “He can be a royal d-bag most of the
time,” she admitted, lips pursed. “Ah, but he’s my
d-bag.”
    She paused, wincing at the
awkwardness of her own sentiment.
    “Does that in any way qualify as a
romantic notion?” she pondered aloud.
    She grinned in spite of herself as a
laughing Landon pulled her into his strong arms, swaying her back
and forth as he pressed his lips against her forehead.
    “You are too precious,
Woman.”
    He tightened his hold on her waist,
leaning forward to whisper in her ear:
    “You could always have an affair,
you know. A fun, exhilarating little fling to take your mind off of
things. I could show you such pleasure, Bella. I’d do whatever you
want …”
    Even as her heart pounded and pussy
gushed with the effects of his provocative words, Beth’s heated
body stiffened in the arms of her brazen seducer.
    “This is madness,” she breathed,
more to herself than to Landon, “I barely know you.”
    She took in her breath as he seized
her plump chin between two tender fingers, lifting her head until
their gazes locked.
    “Oh I think you do,” he whispered,
searing her with a narrow-eyed gaze that made her clit throb from
want of him. “You knew me from the first moment you saw me—I could
see it in your eyes.”
    She gasped as her tempter pulled her
flush against his tall muscular frame.
    “I can sense your every desire, feel
your every need …”
    She inhaled his crisp, citrus-tinged
scent as he fingered her cheeks, their tips soothing the telltale
flush that betrayed her desire.
    “… I know your every fantasy when I
look into your eyes. And by God I vow to fulfill them.”
    “Criminy, where did you come from?”
Eyes widening in wonder, Beth ran her curious fingers across the
stranger’s face, her touch tracing the lines of his carved
cheekbones and his full, sumptuous lips.
    “I came from the waters of the deep
blue sea,” he whispered, cradling her in a sweet embrace as he
erased all distance between them.
    “Well the waters of the deep blue
sea just lost out,” Beth hissed. “I’m keeping you.”
    “I’m yours,” Landon growled in
return, swooping down to seize her lips in another passionate
kiss.
    For just a moment, she allowed his
lips to ravish hers, his tongue to plunder her tender mouth as his
hands ran like the waves themselves down the length of her
back.
    Then, with a heated sigh, she
stepped away from him, her body again stiffening as her mind raced
to justify her actions.
    “I-I can’t do this,” she looked her
tempter straight in the eyes, shaking her head from side to side.
“I’m not myself when I’m with you.” She accentuated a deep,
sustaining breath with the squaring of her substantial shoulders.
“It’s probably just because I haven’t been feeling
well.”
    She warmed in spite of herself as
Landon met her words with a concerned expression, one he’d never
seen grace the face of her longtime love interest.
    “You did seem in pain yesterday when
I met you,” he acknowledged, raising his hand to her forehead and
flexing his fingers across her skin.
    That was just what one would call
pained physical arousal, Beth trembled beneath his touch, just
managing the words:
    “I suffer from migraine
headaches.”
    Tsking his empathy, Landon drew her
to his side and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
    “Well, you know my dear,” he
whispered in her ear,
