  She looked back up, his gaze meeting hers. “Nick…”

  “What’s going through your mind, baby? You look so sad.”

  “I-“ She licked lips that had suddenly gone dry. “I believe you,” she finally found the courage to say.

  A smile formed on his face, a smile that disappeared almost instantly at the look in her shuttered eyes. “That’s great. Right? Leah?”

  “I don’t know what to do,” she admitted, lowering her face so she was contemplating the floor.

  “What about we start by getting into my apartment and then we can discuss it some more?” She nodded, following him inside and sitting where he told her to sit. She remained silent as he busied himself around her, offering her a drink, something to eat, anything. But she only shook her head, her back held up straight as if she didn’t trust herself to relax. He sighed inwardly at the sight. She was still holding herself back.

  Thinking up a plan of action, he sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She stiffened as he tugged her against his side, and it’s only when he forced her head into the crook of his neck that she allowed herself to start enjoying his embrace. By the time his hand had started an up-and-down motion on her back, she was considerably closer than at first. Smiling at the softness surrounding him, Nick closed his eyes and inhaled her scent. “I think we should start over.” He felt her tense once again and added, quickly, “Hear me out, baby! Don’t you think it’d be best if we forgot what happened? Just start over, you and me. Go on a few dates, have fun, make love.” He cupped the back of her head and forced her to look at him. “Please, Leah. I need you in my life. These past weeks have been hell. I didn’t know how much you mattered to me, until I couldn’t see you or talk to you.” He spotted the tears glistening in her eyes and added, his voice soft, “I missed you.”

  “Me too,” she whispered, fighting the urge to cry. “So much. I hated you for what you’d made me go through, but I still missed you.”

  He smiled at her admission. “So, what do you say?”

  She gazed at him, unable to ignore the way he was staring back at her. Emotions were swirling in his eyes and even if she couldn’t decipher them all, she still understood something quite clearly: he needed her. So, she said yes.

  And as they hugged and kissed, as they fell onto the floor and clothes went flying in all directions, as their bodies joined and they started losing themselves in each other, love hung in the air above them…ready to land, whenever they were.

  LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

  By Emma Hillman

  Mia Adams keeps bumping into her fantasy. Literally. From crashing her car into his to ramming his shopping cart at their local supermarket, each encounter brings her closer to the man she’s always dreamed of: Kevin McIntyre, a former pro football player with an attitude and a propensity for swearing.

  He seems perpetually angry but she has to admit the look suits him. She’s pretty sure experience makes perfect too because the man has some serious skills. Let’s just say she’s been screaming his name a lot lately. Although, sometimes, it’s to shout at his disappearing back. She shouldn’t care, however, that he doesn’t seem to remember her name or that he keeps leaving as soon as he gets what he wants. They’re just having some fun after all.

  Then why is he inviting her to his house? Did he change the rules and forget to tell her about it? The sex must have gone to his head, there is just no other explanation.

  Excerpt From LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION:

  She gasped, her finger slipping out of her mouth with a wet sound. “What is it? Did you find them?”

  “No!” He turned back to the desk and clasped its edges with both hands. He willed his erection down but he couldn’t get her out of his head. She was messing with his mind, damn it! “Did you spike my drink?”

  “What?” She sat up. “You think I drugged you?”

  “Yes!” He whirled around. “You did, didn’t you? What did you put in my Coke? GHB?”

  “Man, you are crazy.”

  “What did you do?” he roared as he grabbed her armrests and loomed over her. “Tell me!”

  “Nothing! And don’t you think you’d be feeling impaired right now if I’d put something in your drink? You drank it down in one gulp!”

  He pushed himself upright and started pacing. She made sense, damn it! He was feeling fine, except from the way his jeans were tenting. So maybe she wasn’t at fault there. Maybe it was just his body’s way of reminding him he hadn’t had sex in a while. Why now though?

  He’d told her the truth earlier: she wasn’t his type. He usually went for the long-limbed, fake-tanned-and-boobed women that seemed to always be around football players. Groupies, bunnies, whatever they called themselves. He didn’t care as long as they were hot and ready to fall in his bed.

  But this woman was different. She wasn’t thin or tanned. Oh, she was curvy as hell and her ass was round just like he liked them. He could definitely do something with that ass. Oh yeah. Fuck, McIntyre, get a grip! She was crazy! He didn’t need the aggravation, that was for sure.

  She watched him rake his hand through his hair. He looked agitated and angry and just plain hot. God, she loved this look on him.

  Hearing her sigh, he turned to face her and spotted her half-closed eyes. “What now?”

  “Mmm?” She blinked. “I was just thinking how hot you look when you’re angry.”

  He felt his teeth snap together. She was unbelievable! “So you like it when I get angry?” His voice was deceptively soft.

  YES NO MAYBE

  by Emma Hillman

  MAN FRAME

  by Emma Hillman

  Lucy loves her new neighbor. One, because he’s seriously hot; and two, because he leaves his window open while getting himself off. What she doesn’t know however is that Nate can see her too. Every evening, he watches her undress, the blue film covering her window not enough to mask her silhouette. He’s already half in lust with her body and that’s before he knows what she looks like, apart from her round breasts and even rounder ass.

  Things accelerate when Nate takes matters into his own hands and invites her to his condo. It was only supposed to be some fun between two consenting adults but suddenly there’s another man with them. A man who’s invited himself to the party and who seems to really enjoy looking at her. Rodrigo likes it even more when he’s touching her, making her lose control in a way she’s never experienced before.

  He’s not duped though. He can see how his best friend is acting with her. There could be something good between these two and he pushes them further and further, until…

  A THIN LINE

  by Emma Hillman

  Kate finds herself locked up in her apartment building’s laundry room. It’s the middle of the night and there’s a man with her. Which would be the great start of a horror movie, except this is real and thankfully the man isn’t that bad. Actually, he’s quite nice. Oh, and hot. He’s a neighbor she’s seen a few times, the playboy with the golden looks. And as they find themselves sitting increasingly closer in an effort not to freeze to death, hands bump into parts of her body that haven’t been touched in years.

  It could have stopped at that: one night of pleasure, albeit in a weird location. Except it doesn’t. Even though she knows Jace has another girlfriend, she still opens her door to him every night. He is addictive. And sometimes, he’s even nice. But what happens when the drama finally takes its toll and she bars her door to him?
