Masterpiece (12 page)
Authors: Juliette Jones
We got married right there in the backyard of his family’s house, exactly one month after we met. It doesn’t matter that our love
affair was a whirlwind. We kne
w we were meant to be together. He tells me he loves me about a hundred times a day.
“I love you,” he says, sneaking up behind me, kissing
my neck. I’m cooking him
dinner, still awed by my view of the city from my kitchen window
.
I love our apartment. We’ve been taking our time, decorating with finds from the stores we wander to on lazy Sunday mornings.
He’s been painting a mural on the wall in the baby’s room, of a Montana landscape. All I’m wearing is an apron, with nothing underneath. We made love all afternoon, like we often do on weekends. He turns me around and lifts me, so I’m sitting on the marble counter. He pulls off my apron and tosses it aside. He starts kissing my belly, which is getting rounder
now. “I love you, baby,” he whispers against my skin.
He kisses my breasts, sucking on my nipples.
Then he
kisses my lips, always hungry for me, as I am for him. He
reaches to turn off the burners on the stove.
“Hey,” I say.
“It can wait. I want my
dessert first.” He
unzips his jeans and pushes my legs apart and I’m already wet for him.
He pulls my hips forward and slides his big cock deep inside me. I wrap my arms and legs around him and he carries me to the bedro
om, where he makes sweet love to me all night long.
Sometimes dreams do come true.

Jake Wolfe has a dark past and criminal record. He's also drop-dead gorgeous - and incapable of committing to more than a one night stand. But when a strawberry-blond chef who looks like an angel serves him a slice of her warm apple pie, he notices an unmistakable bruise around her eye and knows exactly what caused it. Can Jake handle this new obsession and control his lust long enough to save her without destroying her?
Sugar Malone spends every waking moment cooking, baking and working to make her new restaurant among the best in New York City. But when her mother's fifth husband makes an indecent proposal and assaults her when she refuses, Sugar runs – literally – straight into the arms of the gorgeous dark-eyed stranger who could turn out to be either the devil or a saint. Is Jake Wolfe the playboy she’s read about, or the white-knight lover she never expected to find?
* JAKE stars some of the same characters as the BILLIONAIRE series and HONEY GIRL but is a safe, stand-alone novel with HEA, alpha male obsession,
true love and ultra-hot sex.

I’ve held back my rage for a long time but today I feel like slamming someone – anyone – into next fucking week. When I find out who screwed me over … I just hope I can control myself long enough not to kill the fucker and end up in a goddamn jail cell. Then again, getting convicted for a crime I actually
did
commit might be a whole lot more satisfying than getting burnt for one I didn’t. I walk through the door of my penthouse office and shut the door. What I feel like doing is slamming it, smashing the place to smithereens and punching up the asshole who put me in this mess. But those days are long gone. I’m not an amped-up punk any more. I’m a grown man, with a
number of Ivy League degrees under my belt, five luxury properties to my name and a net worth of almost a hundred million dollars. I am –
was
, until earlier this afternoon – CEO of a Fortune 500 investment company and Chairman of the goddamn Board of Fucking Directors.
