Vera will do anything to help her sister, and unfortunately that means she is
well acquainted with Jared, the most frustrating man she has ever met. Now she

greatest fears to save The Society and all the people they love.
Excerpt
“Then just
kiss me already. Get it over with.” “Kiss you? Are you kidding?” “No.” “I
already told you I’m not sleeping with you.” “Then just shut up.” She yanked on
my shirt pulling me toward her. Her lips were on mine before I could process
it. My lips responded immediately, greedily sucking on her bottom lip before
pushing my way into her mouth. She moaned, eagerly letting me in. My tongue
tangled with hers, as I explored every corner of her mouth. Before my hands
could do their own exploration she broke the kiss. “So much better.” She hopped
down from the bar. “Excuse me?” I was still spinning from the kiss. Had she
really stopped that suddenly? “Ok, let’s talk about the plan.” “Now?” I
asked with disbelief. “After that?” “You could say thank you.” “Thank you?”
“For easing the tension. It was thick enough to cut with a knife, but I
preferred your tongue.” “So that’s it? You just did that to ease sexual
tension?” “What did you think I was doing?” “Giving in to your desires.” My
eyes devoured her. Her tank top had pulled up when we were kissing, exposing
even more smooth skin I wanted to touch. “You mean our desires. There’s nothing
one sided here.” I glanced down at the bulge still obvious in my pants.“You’ve
got that right.” “You’re not a bad kisser.” “Not bad?” I raised an eyebrow.
“I’d say you’re a seven.” “A seven? I’m a ten. I’m a ten at everything
involving sex.” I had no confidence issues in that department. No matter how
pissed girls got at me, they never complained about the sex. “But that wasn’t sex.
Your dick wasn’t involved. I’m sure you rely on it to earn you points.” “I
don’t just rely on my dick.” “Oh yeah? Well your tongue seems a little bit out
of practice. Not using it much?” “I use it plenty.” “Oh. My mistake.” She
licked her lips. “Anyway back to that plan.”
