Hush (Just This Once 1)

I tilt my chin toward the bed. “Do you have to ask?”

She props up on her tiptoes to give me a soft kiss. “We should send everyone home now.”

“Patience, Mrs. Scott.” I place my hand on the center of her back. “I have the night off. I plan on spending every second of that showing you how much I love you.”

The baby cries out and we both laugh.

“I’ll take what I can get.” Chloe sighs. “I don’t care if it’s ten minutes or ten hours, being in your arms is where I want to spend the rest of my life.”

It’s my dream come true and every day only gets better.

Preview of BARE

From the Just This Once Series

The first and last one-night stand I had ended with zero orgasms for me and my wallet gone.

I fell asleep after the man who called himself Kent rolled off of me and out of my life.

The only thing he left behind was a business card on the floor next to the bed.

Griffin Kent. Attorney at Law.

Since I don't know a soul in New York, I head straight to the jerk's office on Madison Avenue to get back my wallet and reclaim my pride.

I'm not prepared for what happens when I arrive at the prestigious law firm of Kent & Colt.

I doubt that the real Griffin Kent would leave a woman unsatisfied in any way. He's tall, dark haired and dangerously handsome. He's also the complete opposite of the imposter I spent the night with.

The arrogant attorney orders his assistant to help me, but he's the one who enrolls in the art class I came to Manhattan to teach.

He may be my student, but something tells me that Griffin is going to be schooling me in the art of seduction.

Author's Note: This sexy standalone novel contains a dirty talking attorney, nude male models and a HEA the hero will do anything to fight for. BARE is part of the Just This Once Series. Each book features a different couple and since the books are not connected, they can be read in any order.

Chapter 1

Piper

"Griffin Kent is the worst lover I've ever had." With tears welling in the corners of my eyes, I stare at the woman sitting behind the sleek wooden reception desk. "I can't believe I slept with him. I called the p

olice. They're going to be here any minute."

She looks past me to the frosted glass doors at the entrance of the law offices of Kent & Colt. "If it's a crime to be a dud in bed, my ex-husband would be serving twenty to life right now."

I scrub my hand over my face, mascara staining my palm. "I didn't call them because of that."

"Can I get you a glass of water?" The kind-looking woman is on her feet now. "You look about ready to pass out. Why don't you sit down? We can discuss this."

Discuss what? I went to a hotel with a man last night, we had really bad sex and when I woke up an hour ago, he was gone along with my wallet and my smartphone.

"I don't want to talk about it." I look beyond her to the massive, exquisitely designed space that obviously houses a number of offices. "Where's the asshole? I need to see him now."

Her lips curl into an unexpected smile. "He's not here. He never gets in until at least nine fifteen."

My gaze drops to my wrist but the silver watch I always wear isn't there. "He took everything from me."

The middle-aged woman rounds the reception desk until she's next to me, her arm slung over my shoulder. "You listen to me. I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Kent, but there's not a man on the face of this earth who can take everything from a woman."
