From USA
Today bestselling author Julie Brannagh comes the next fun and
incredibly sexy novel in her beloved Seattle Sharks series.
When Daisy Spencer wrote an erotic
novella about the Seattle Sharks' backup quarterback and her #1 crush, Grant
Parker, she never expected it to become a runaway bestseller. If anyone
discovers she wrote the sexy story, her days as a flight attendant for the
Sharks would be over. But once she gets to know the real man behind the
fantasy, her heart may be in more danger than her job.
Having Seattle fans think squeaky
clean Grant is wild in bed is the last thing he needs-even if it might be
closer to the truth than he will ever say. As he spends his days, and nights,
with the gorgeous Daisy, he's not interested in going back to the lonely life
he once led. But when the real author of the novella is finally outed, Grant
and Daisy must both reveal the secrets they've hidden away or risk losing a
love that's better than any fantasy.
Excerpt (Very Sexy)
Grant Parker heard a loud crack as
he rolled over in his date’s bed and onto something buried in the sheets. He
looked at the sleeping form next to him and sighed in relief when she didn’t
stir.
He extracted an e-reader from under
one of his hips as he sat up and stared at a large horizontal fracture in the
screen in the dim light from her bathroom. Crap. Grant couldn’t remember her
name, but he was willing to bet she remembered his. Even more, she was probably
going to be pissed about the broken e-reader.
Shaking his head to clear out some
of the cobwebs, he knew he needed to get his ass out of here. He had a hundred
bucks in his wallet. He’d leave the money to replace the e-reader (along with a
note) ten seconds before he walked out the front door of her apartment. Still
too drunk to drive, he would call Uber as soon as he got outside.
He’d met her at a bar last night.
She was exactly what he’d wanted: a woman who wanted one night with him. They’d
had a lot of drinks, and they’d taken a cab to her place. Minutes later, they
were naked. He’d had her twice before they both fell asleep from sheer
exhaustion. He wondered what the biggest aphrodisiac was for the women who
fucked his brains out on a regular basis: that he played pro football or that
they were delighted to discover he was an excellent lay. She’d have several
orgasms to remember him by.
The Sharks’ PR department worked
overtime to craft his squeaky-clean image. Grant had arrived in Seattle as a
result of being drafted out of his small, conservative Christian college’s
football team. The Sharks had cut their former backup QB after a DUI and a
sexual assault arrest. Grant was in the right place at the right time. Grant’s
parents were also the nationally known pastors of a megachurch in Texas, which
seemed to seal the deal for the Sharks.
It was clear in Grant’s combine
interview with the team’s head coach and the general manager that any hint of
bad behavior in his personal life would not be tolerated. The team believed
Grant’s background and football skills would go a long way to smoothing things
over with angry fans. Grant wanted to play for Seattle. It was the perfect
situation.
The Sharks’ PR department circulated
pictures of him to the local media with approved dates—girls from the local
Christian college, for instance. He’d take them to dinner and a movie or a
game. He’d walk them to their front door by ten pm,
kiss them on the cheek, and make sure they were safely inside before he got in
his car and went looking for what he really wanted: raw, anonymous sex with
someone he knew he had no intention of seeing again.
He didn’t lie to anyone he was with.
He had told each woman before they went
to her place that he was in for one night and one night only. He told them he
didn’t have sex without protection, which he provided. They nodded, smiled, and
tried every sexual enticement in their arsenal to change his mind. It seemed
that the women he dated always wanted what they could not have. If he met
someone who boinked his brains out and told him to leave as soon as he got
dressed, he’d be back for more. So far, it hadn’t happened.
He knew he was
playing with fire for being so public. He knew he should find a woman who was interested in a
mutually beneficial (and highly confidential) arrangement. He wasn’t callous or
cavalier toward anyone else’s feelings. He just wasn’t interested in getting
tied down to anyone, at least in the short term. If he got caught having
multiple one-night stands, his carefully constructed image would blow up in his
face, and any chance he had of succeeding Tom Reed, the Sharks’ starting QB,
would be gone.
He understood his behavior could be
chalked up to doing the forbidden, to the idea he was getting away with
something he shouldn’t do. What kind of idiot would jeopardize eight million
dollars a season for standing on the sidelines with a clipboard sixteen Sundays
a year by taking such a risk? The Sharks organization wanted their fans to
believe Grant spent his evenings with his playbook and turned in early. Alone.
Preferably after reading a few pages of the Bible and saying his prayers. He
was a normal, healthy guy with a normal, healthy sex drive. Was this a crime?
Grant wanted to watch the Sharks’
starting QB Tom Reed on the sidelines holding a clipboard as Grant threw TD
after TD. He wanted to be the guy in the hundred-foot-tall mural screen painted
on the side of Sharks Stadium. He also wanted to be the guy who’d get his pick
of twice as many women who all wanted to do him. After all, the ladies wanted
the real thing: a starter.
He clicked on the small button that
activated the e-reader. It still worked, despite the cracked screen. He saw the
title of the last book she was reading, Overtime
Parking; a picture of him crossing the tarmac at an airport to get on the
Sharks’ team plane was on the cover.
He’d been the subject of a lot of
press, but someone had written a book about him? He hadn’t seen this yet. He
was surprised his agent or the team publicist hadn’t told him about it. He’d
have to call them both tomorrow. Maybe he should take a look at a page or two
to figure out if this was an unauthorized biography.
He touched the unbroken part of the
screen with his fingertip, and the text appeared.
And I
shoved Parker’s football pants down with both hands. He was naked beneath and
sporting a gigantic erection.
“Want it?”
he said.
“Yes.” I
unzipped my jeans and wriggled until both jeans and underwear slipped to my
knees. I unhooked my bra and pushed my sweater up around my neck. I lay back on
the hood of his car in the team’s parking lot, spreading my legs, entirely
exposed to him. In full view of anyone walking past. The parking lot was full
of cars; it was a matter of time before we were discovered.
I reached
down to touch myself, to move my fingers in the wetness I felt dripping out of
me. I wanted to show him I could come from staring at him and stroking my clit.
I wanted him to see it all and to want me as badly as I wanted him.
“Fuck me,”
I said.
He yanked
my jeans and my panties off and pushed my legs up over his shoulders. I
couldn’t concentrate on anything besides his arms caging me, his mouth on mine,
his hard, massive dick entering me seconds later. I arched into him, my nipples
scraping against his rock-hard chest. He grabbed my ass to pull me into his
pistoning hips. Somehow, it was even more thrilling to know we might have an
audience, and I ground into him as a result.
“Oh, God.
Fuck me! I have to have you!” I told him as I moved against him. He pounded
into me, over and over. I heard flesh slapping against flesh and the muffled
groans of satisfaction deep in his throat. I wrenched my mouth from his, raked
my nails down his back, and let out a loud cry.
“More!” I
cried out. “Harder!”
“Oh, I’ll
give it to you harder,” he growled as he thrust again. I wrapped my legs around
his hips as tightly as I could. My clit rubbed against his pelvis as I moved
against him. The hood of his car was cold but slippery against my back. It was
going to be covered with our juices by the time we were done. There was nothing
like the smell of sex; it surrounded us in the cold night air. I reached down
to grab his ass with both hands, pulling him closer.
“Faster,” I
cried. “More!”
“I’ll give
you more,” he said roughly. “I’m going to fuck you, and then I’m going to fuck
you again. Right here. Where everyone can see us. They’ll know how dirty you
are, how badly you want it. How you’d fuck them too.”
He was
breathing hard. He thrust faster, and I could feel myself coming, lust and
adrenaline coursing through my bloodstream as I reached between us to rub my
clit. “That’s it,” he said. “You want it. You want everyone to see you coming
all over me, don’t you? Come for me. Come now.”
I let out a
scream as my entire body convulsed around him. The waves of pleasure and
release went on and on. I must have blacked out for a few seconds; I could hear
applause and whistles as I came to. I saw a knot of guys a few feet from us; I
was beyond caring that I was laid out like a naked, panting feast in front of
them. I was limp in his arms, and he grinned down at me. He turned, made a
slight bow to the onlookers, and turned back to me. His dick was already
getting hard again as I watched.
“Ready for
round two?” he said. “I’m going to do every nasty thing to you you’ve ever
dreamed of. In front of them. And you’re going to love every minute of it.”
Grant stared in shock at the broken
e-reader’s screen. What the hell was this?
