Bad Boys Online Series Books 1 and 2
Release Date Dec. 07, 2017
To Jared Kinkaid, the only way to keep his mind — and his hands — off his luscious co-worker Candy Appleton is to insult or ignore her at every turn. But his efforts at lust control have his boss convinced that the partners need a little help via online couples counseling. But when they’re mistakenly signed up for sensual couples counseling instead, Jared and Candy’s shock turns to pleasure as they each deliver some hands on therapy of their own…
Excerpt:
Jared waited for Candy to click on the first question. They
needed to make their way through this stupid counseling as fast as humanly possible.
Before he grabbed her, threw her on the desk and shot all his control to hell
with a taste of her.
If they rushed through the questions, he could be out of here
in an hour and run to the break room and toss ice cubes down his pants. It was
his only hope.
This was all Harold’s fault. Or Candy’s, for having the nerve
to walk around with an ass like that. He could blame Jessie, who had gotten him
fired from his last job. Which wasn’t fair, because he hadn’t exactly told her
no. Or it could be because he’d never been smart enough to get married and
indulge himself with regular sex.
Or maybe he was just a horny idiot.
With a soft spot for pouty doe-eyed women.
Candy leaned over the desk again. “Okay, keep your shirt on.”
Jared ground his teeth together.
Candy’s lips moved as she read the question silently.
“Well?” He waited for her to enlighten him as to what
embarrassing personal details they had to reveal.
“This isn’t bad at all, Jared. I think it’s supposed to
illustrate to couples how little they really know about each other. And to
rediscover their interest in one another.”
Whatever. Jared sat back down in the chair so Candy’s thigh
would stop brushing his arm. “So what does it say?”
“Question number one just asks where you’re from. You know,
where were you born and where did you grow up.”
Candy was right. It wasn’t as bad as he had suspected. And if
Harold wanted to pay him to talk about growing up in Skokie, that was fine with
him.
She glanced back at him with a smile, her long legs still
straight, her elbow resting on the desk. “Guess where I was born.”
He pictured her wandering around a wicker-filled bedroom with
louvered windows, wearing a satiny camisole and panties and biting a peach.
God, when had he gotten such a vivid imagination? And why did it have to
involve Candy in her underwear? “Georgia.”
She scoffed. “No, dead wrong. Tennessee.”
Oh, there was a difference? “Sorry, I’m not an expert in
Southern dialects.”
Her little pink tongue slipped out and wet her bottom lip. The
full one. The one that demanded he bite it. Jared shifted again, wondering if
it was possible to sustain an erection for three hours with no other stimulus
than dirty thoughts.
“You’re a Yankee through and through, aren’t you?”
She made it sound like that was slightly more desirable than
an ant infestation in her kitchen.
“I’ve lived in Chicago all my life.”
“Brothers and sisters?” Candy wasn’t looking at the computer
screen, but was just lounging there draped across the desk, looking mildly
curious with a little curving smile gracing the corner of her mouth.
He had no reason to answer. He should suggest they get on with
the damn quiz. Instead, he found himself saying, “Three older brothers and one
little sister. My parents were insane, apparently.”
She threw her head back and laughed, those blond wispy curls
tumbling down her back. “Your mother must have loved kids, that’s all.”
He fought a smile, but couldn’t stop it. “I’m not sure that
she did. She used to tell us that she was guaranteed a spot in heaven. That God
would never deny entrance to a woman with five kids as bad as we were.”
She laughed.
