PROTECTING PAIGE
(No Easy Task)
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Cole Barrington, a sexy dominant and a movie producer with a
reputation as a player, has been haunted by one particular young lady who
unexpectedly tugged his heart strings during a five-day romp on a tropical
island. Why she ducked his calls on their return he has no idea, and the
question still shadows him.
Paige Brooks is a publicist, and when she learns she must
accompany Cole to an annual charity event at the same Caribbean island where
she’d spent an idyllic week
with him, she grits her teeth and clenches her fists. The man broke her heart.
How can she possibly get through it?
Thrown together on a tiny seaplane, as they fly to the private
island where the event is to be held, fate throws them an unexpected curve
ball. Forced to land near a tiny uninhabited island, they suddenly find
themselves completely stranded and alone. Their intense attraction soon fires
their passion, and when they’re drawn into a wild treasure hunt, Cole must
use his dominant skill to control the impetuous woman from the perils
surrounding them.
If you enjoy a suspenseful romance starring a take-charge alpha
male, and a feisty young woman with a sharp wit and impetuous nature, look no
further than this panty-melting page-turner from Maggie Carpenter.
EXCERPT
Rising to his feet, he leisurely
stripped, then returning to lie at her side, he slid her panties down her legs
and popped the front fastener of her bra. As it sprang free he slid it down her
arms and tossed it aside, then kneeling over her, he gazed at her in wonder;
the huge setting sun was cloaking her skin in a golden glow.
“You’re even more
lovely than I remember,” he crooned, then straddling her body, he sent his grasp
back to her wrists, lowered his lips, and began kissing her neck.
“That makes me crazy,” she bleated. “I love it. I love it so much.”
“I know,” he purred, traveling his lips across her shoulders
toward her breasts. “I remember the
things that make you crazy. I’ve relived them
many times.”
She moaned in response, and as he
drew in her nipples, sucking hungrily, she raised her chest to meet his mouth.
“Remember what I said?” he murmured, lifting his head and
locking her eyes.
“Ooh, don’t stop.”
“Does that mean you don’t remember?”
“I can’t stand it,” she complained. “Remember what?”
“My promise to spank you. I promised when we were
together before, and I promised you a few minutes ago. I think it’s time I kept that promise.”
“You’re going to do
it now?” she gasped. “Right now?”
“Seems as good a time as any,” he said with a wicked grin, and
releasing her wrists, he quickly flipped her onto her stomach and yanked up her
hips.
“Oh, my gosh! What are you doing?”
“You do have an incredibly spankable ass.”
“I can’t believe this!
Why do I feel so—”
“So what?” he asked, smoothing his hand over her backside. “So embarrassed?”
“Yes, and, ooh, I feel so weird.”
“That’s natural, but
I’ll bet…” he said, his voice trailing off as he
slipped his fingers between her legs, “uh-huh, you’re soaked, and
in a few minutes you’re going to be
even more soaked. Now keep still, and don’t shout out like that again.”
“I didn’t mean to, I
was just shocked.”
“I know you’ve been craving this.”
“How could I be craving something I’ve never had?”
“Now you’re just being
coy. I think I’ll add a few extra slaps for that.”
“Okay, I have,” she said quickly, “but it’s weird and I
don’t know why.”
“There is no why. It’s just how God made you, and I’m the other side of that coin. Are you ready?”
“I guess.”
“Nope, I need more than that.”
“Good grief.”
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, I’m ready.”
Though her voice had been filled with
trepidation, he’d also heard
excitement, and raising his hand, he brought it down with several quick slaps,
not hard, but carrying a sting that would not disappoint her.
“Ow!”
“I said no shouting.”
“Sorry.”
“Here, bury your head in this,” he suggested, reaching for her dress
and handing to her.
“You mean I’ll need to?”
“You might. I won’t spank you too hard, but it’s still going to hurt.”
“Ooh.”
“Unless you’d rather I stop. Do you want me to stop, Paige?”
“Uh, no… no, I don’t.”
“Right then, roll up your dress and bury your head.”
Though he didn’t think her yelps or the sound of his smacking hand
would carry around to the rocky point to Jack’s ears, having her muffle her squeals in her dress added some extra spice
to the moment, and waiting until she was settled, he began to land his slaps in
an easy rhythm as he traveled his flattened palm across her cheeks. When she
began to squirm, he moved his slaps lower, and after adding a few good swats to
her sit spot, eliciting a series of mewling cries, he paused and ran his hand
over her warm pink skin.
“How are you feeling?”
“Please, will you touch me?” she begged, turning her head to look
at him over her shoulder.
“That was not the answer to my question,” he said firmly, delivering a solid
smack to the center of her bottom. “How are you feeling?”
“Ow, did you have to do that?”
“And again,” he declared, landing another hard
slap.
“Oww.”
“How are you feeling?”
“My ass is stinging, how do you think I feel?”
“I can’t believe you
just said that,” he muttered, shaking his head and grinning at her nerve.
“Anything else?”
“Yes. I feel…”
“Go on, everything. Tell me everything.”
“Cole, I love it. I mean, I don’t but I do. I really do, I just don’t know why.”
“We don’t always need
to know why we like something, now close your eyes and feel my hand rub away
the burn. That was your introduction.”
