 Excerpt for Very Wicked Things 
Book #2 of the Briarcrest Academy Series
by Ilsa Madden-Mills

 I got out of the shower and dressed hurriedly, anxious to get back to Cuba.
The door opened, and like he did it every single day, he stepped inside the steamy bathroom.  
“Think I need a shower, too,” he said, his fingers easing off his football practice shirt. 
What? Now?
Trying to play it cool and failing miserably, I moved my eyes off his naked chest and checked out his track pants and the obvious bulge he sported. 
Oh. Did his lower body match the rest of him? Was it all sinewy muscle and big? 
Just, yeah. That thought got stuck in my head and went round and round.
 “You staying?” he asked, a grin working his face. Pleased at my open admiration, probably.
“No,” I said, but made no move to go. ‘Cause I had no shame when it came to catching a glimpse of his muscular body.
“Good,” he said, his smile broadening.
He pivoted to turn on the shower, and my eyes betrayed me again, admiring the muscles in his back, checking out how they twitched and rippled when he moved. Football and rowing had been good to him.

Synopsis:
Being pulled in different directions, Amara must choose what she wants to believe and whom she'll trust.

 EXCERPT:
“That’s Mr. Wolfe’s.” Lisbeth said, pointing to her left. “That’s Mr. Underwood’s, though I think it’s temporary. I don’t really know.”

 “Who is Mr. Underwood?” Amara asked. She tried to keep her voice calm. 

 “He’s one of Mr. Wolfe’s assistants. The large accounts go through him.” 

 Amara swallowed and gripped on to her purse, trying to keep her head from spinning. It was only a name. 

 “What’s his name?” she asked, despite herself.

 Lisbeth stopped walking and turned to her, confused. “Excuse me?”

 “Mr. Underwood. What’s his name?”

 If a pin dropped during the pause, Amara would hear it and point exactly where it fell, that’s how anxious she felt. 

 “Brandon…” Lisbeth said, her brows crinkling. “Do you know him?”

 She shook her head lightly and cleared her throat. “Nope. Just sounded familiar.”

 Lisbeth shrugged and turned back around, pointing at the desk in the center of the room. “This is your desk.”

 “That would be correct,” she heard Colin say behind them. Amara closed her eyes momentarily, until the heat that his voice produced began to wash away. “I’ll take it from here, Liz. Thank you.”

 “My pleasure, Mr. Wolfe,” Lisbeth responded as she walked back to the elevator. “Let me know if you want to do lunch, Amara.”

 “I will. Thank you.” Amara smiled, turning around to watch her go, though she refused to look at Colin head on. 

 “Perhaps another day, Liz. Amara needs to accompany me to my lunch meeting today at twelve. Please remind me fifteen minutes prior.”

 “Sure thing.”

 The elevator closed and Amara finally tore her eyes from it to look at Colin. He was running his tongue between his teeth as he assessed her body and her face. 

 “You look…” His eyes traveled down her body one last time before he cleared his throat. “Very professional. Let’s get started.”

 Amara frowned and shook her head. She knew what he wanted to say, she could see the desire flickering in his eyes as he stared at her, but she played along. Amara pivoted around and swayed her hips a little more exaggerated than usual as she rounded the desk and sat in the chair. When she looked up, Colin was still standing in the same spot. Coincidentally, the suit he wore matched her skirt. It fit him as if it was made for him. He always bought the athletic fit tailor that hugged his strong back and arms. Colin’s dark gaze was glued to her as he strode over to her. 

 “Did you get a chance to see my office?” he asked casually as he walked toward it.

 “Nope.”

 “Well, come take a look. You’ll have to know where the files go when you bring them to me, in case I’m on the phone or not here.”

 Amara pressed down on her heels and stood, following him into the large corner office. She brushed past him, directly to the floor to ceiling windows and looked for her apartment building. She was sure she could see everything from there. 

 “It’s a beautiful view.”

 “It is,” he agreed. She heard his chair sliding against the hardwood and let herself enjoy the view for a moment longer. He was looking at her when she turned around to face him. 

 “So, the files.”

 “Yeah, the files,” he said, placing his hand on the right side of his desk. “I want them here. Anything I sign and is ready to be sent out, I’ll put on this side.” He signaled the left side of his desk. “I don’t think you can fuck that up.” 

 Biting her tongue, she looked away from him, back to the city, and reminded herself to breathe. “I think I’ll be fine. Anything else?”

 “You’ll be in charge of my schedule. You’re on call all the time, anything I need you’ll have to take care of.” 

 She cut her eyes to him. “How did I end up here?”

 “I shelled out a fuck load of money, that’s how.”


About the Author:
Claire Contreras graduated with her BA in Psychology from Florida International University. She was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Miami, Fl, where she currently resides with her husband, two boys, and two American Bulldogs.

Synopsis

**This is a full-length Adult Contemporary Romance that contains mature sexual content and language and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.** 

 It all started with a simple phrase. 

 Love Sucks 

 The moment Vanessa Hilliard walked into the tattoo shop uttering those two words was the day my life began its downward spiral. 

 Or maybe it’s the day my life began. 

 My name is Rex Grayson. 

 And this is my story. 

 *** 

 The day I met Rex Grayson, I got a hell of a lot more than I bargained for. He sparked something inside of me -- possibility. A word that never existed in my world before. He caused me to question who I was and made me want things I never dreamed were possible.

 We’ve both got a mountain of shit in our past. 

 My name is Vanessa Hilliard. I have an affinity for the unusual and seriously twisted. 

 He thinks this is his story. 

 But it’s really mine.

Buy The Book

Rex cover


Excerpt
I subtly open my legs, hoping he might take the hint and move his hand where I really need it.  Instead, he continues to drive me crazy with his calloused finger circling just above my knee.

His warm breath fans my neck, and I bite back the noise that wants to escape when his tongue makes contact with that sensitive spot behind my ear.  “You taste so good,” he murmurs, “and I bet you’re already wet for me.”

“Beyond wet,” I whisper back, not wanting the taxi driver to hear and think that I’m a sex-crazed freak, even though I feel like one.

Rex inhales a jagged breath, his hand finally wandering higher up my thigh.  “I can’t wait until my tongue can find out just how much,” he says quietly.  And when I glance up at him, his eyes denote a hunger that lights a flame inside of me.  One that’s been buried for quite some time.

I press my lips together, staring out the window in an attempt to distract myself.  My skin tingles with anticipation as I try to rein in my breathing that is currently out of control.  But I don’t have to wait too long.  Within minutes, the taxi pulls up in front of his building.

Rex pays the driver and practically jerks me from the seat, latching onto my hand as we fly into the building like two sex-starved lunatics.  He hesitates the moment we enter the glass door, glancing up at the flight of stairs then back to me.  With a devious grin, he scoops me up under my knees and I let out a yelp of surprise.

“Ahh!  What on earth are you doing, Rex?” I laugh, my head dropping back.

He continues striding up the stairs with purpose.  “What does it look like I’m doing?”

“Why are you carrying me?  I can walk, you know.”

“Blondie, shut up and kiss me,” he demands.  “I need motivation for climbing.”
