It's got gorgeous, shiny new cover art by Laura Harner
A polished, updated blurb:
When Malcolm Jenner’s
sex-on-the-side turns into more,
he isn’t above begging for a second chance.
High profile attorney Malcolm Jenner is looking for a bit
of fun, nothing serious. He's got duties and responsibilities, after all. Though
he's not one to choose his lovers from the office, Jacob Renault is an
attraction too compelling to resist.
However, Jacob isn't interested in temporary. He wants it
all—Prince Charming, the castle, the happily ever after. There's no rule that
says the younger man can't have fun while he's searching for his prince,
though…
At first neither is willing to compromise on their stance,
but an agreement is reached, with each man planning to do his best to subvert
the other to his viewpoint. Lust turns to love, and what’s impossible becomes
merely improbable, but is it going to be enough?
EXCERPT
Malcolm
stood in the hallway, gritting his teeth and reminded himself that an office
fling with a man who had to be at least ten years his junior was out of the
question. He and Penny had long since relinquished any pretense of monogamy in
their marriage and reached an amicable agreement to conduct their affairs
discreetly out of respect for their son and their friendship. Fucking purple-eyed
twinks in the elevator at work? Not discreet.
He
kept his gaze focused on the gleaming silver metal of the doors as the elevator
made its excruciatingly slow way up to the third floor. His glance flicked to
the reflection beside his. The younger man stood casually, shoulders propped
against the wall, licking pink lips. His purple gaze in the hazy reflection was
focused…fuck…on Malcolm's obvious erection beneath his dark dress pants. Discretion. Discretion, he snarled at
his libido. There will be no casual
hookups with people from the office, he warned his eager cock. He shifted
to the side slightly, hoping to hide the evidence of his arousal from the other
man. Damn it. That kid had the sexiest eyes he'd ever seen. He wanted like hell
to see them glaze over as he fucked the tight ass hinted at by the khaki pants he
wore. He didn't go much for the intimacy of face-to-face encounters, but for
the sight of those eyes and that mouth in the throes of orgasm, he'd make an
exception. His tendency toward quick casual encounters disguised his preference
for male partners and kept word of his homosexuality from getting back to his
parents, his partners in the firm, and out to the public.
A
law office, like any other place of business, was a microcosm of the world at
large. Malcolm knew from being on the receiving end of gossip from his
secretary, Marge, that every action and interaction between employees was
fodder for the gossip mill. Being the subject of water cooler gossip lacked
appeal and offended his sense of dignity, as did the knowledge that he
apparently couldn't control his urges around the tech guy.
He
threw in the towel and gave up the fight against his attraction to the young man
from the technology department when he caught that sultry purple gaze on his
cock for what must have been the hundredth time as the slight young man brushed
against him in an intentional teasing slide while he tried to exit the elevator
on the second floor.
Impulsively,
Malcolm grabbed Jacob's hand and pulled him back inside the otherwise-empty
space. He kept that small, soft hand locked in his own as he allowed the heavy
metal doors to slam shut and the elevator to rise to his own floor. There he
slapped his palm against the button that prevented the doors from opening. He'd
had all the titillation he could stand. Malcolm swept the young man into his
embrace. He tilted Jacob's head upward with one hand and dropped his mouth
passionately, almost brutally, to kiss the other man. His other hand tangled in
the black curls that had taunted his senses over the past weeks. He forced the
soft pink lips apart, then swept his tongue inside. Instantly he was absorbed
in the heated, slick haven of Jacob's mouth. The honeyed sweetness drew him
further in and his tongue eagerly sought the textures and flavors that had been
hidden there. Fuck. He could drown in
the wet heat he found behind those soft lips. It was addictive. Jacob didn't even
try to escape the kiss; he seemed to be doing his best to encourage it. He
brushed his tongue against Malcolm's, sweeping it gently along the roof of his
mouth, seeking and finding the sweetest spots. Both men were panting heavily
when their lips parted.
Malcolm
pulled back and spoke harshly. "Is that what you're after, little boy? You
want a quick fuck in the elevator to start the week off right?"
Jacob
gasped and tried to pull away, but Malcolm wouldn't let him. "No! Well,
yeah, but that's not all I want." The young man seemed a bit dazed and
shook his head as though to clear it. His shaking hand rose to push through the
tangled black curls that Malcolm could picture so easily coiling around his
cock while Jacob knelt on the dull gray carpet sucking him, as he had every
intention would happen very shortly.
"Well, that's all I'm offering. Take it or leave it." Malcolm drew his hand down the length of his cock, which had pulsed to aching life during that elevator trip. Jacob wore light spicy citrus cologne that seemed to linger in Malcolm's nostrils long after any encounter between them had ended, and being in the elevator with the sexy younger man had a predictable effect on his dick.
"Look, I'm very busy. I have a few minutes for you now, but…" He let his arousal-roughened voice trail off, waiting to see if Jacob took the bait. Jacob's purple eyes locked on his hand gliding up and down, pressing against his throbbing cock behind the zipper of the black dress pants he wore. That gaze was an added caress that fired his blood even hotter, and he swore softly. "Fuck. You want it. I can see it in your eyes, feel it in you every time you come near me."
