STORY EXCERPT

Sophia studied the man as she made her way through the milling crowd. He was at least six feet tall, with a head full of sleek, long ebony hair. She wasn’t close enough to see the shade of his eyes, but the face was to die for. Strong lines, high cheekbones, full, sensuous lips. Beyond that, he was built. The t-shirt he wore was faded and clung to sculpted pecs. Lord almighty, the man was a god.

“Ah, no. In fact, I would say he was about the best in-shape man in the area. Which is saying a lot considering where I am.”

“Well, you never know. People think that serial killers are stupid, but they are not. They’re just bat-shit crazy.”

“Listen, let me find out what he needs, and get to my hotel, then I’ll call you back.”

“But—”

Sophia ignored her protest and turned off her phone. She drew close enough to the man that she gained his interest. His gaze moved over her with the type of study that had her blood singing. Damn, how long had it been since a man—who wasn’t trying to get a promotion—had looked at her with that much interest? Too damned long. Since it had been almost two years since she had sex, there was a good chance it had been at least that long.

Why the hell was she thinking about sex? As she approached him, his gaze moved to her face and she finally saw the shade of his eyes. Light blue, the same shade of blue of the ocean she had just flown over. They widened slightly as she stepped in front of him.

“Ms. Cantwell?” he asked, his voice deep, resonant, with a hint of the lyrical Hawaiian accent. It made her curl her toes inside her shoes.

She nodded. “And you would be?”

Something close to disgust shifted in his eyes, but nothing showed in the rest of his expression.

“I’m Maleko Akaka. I’m here to take you to your villa.”

A loud buzz sounded from the carousel starting up, heralding their bags. She glanced over in that direction, then back to her new friend. She put on her best professional smile, the one Eddie said was her kiss my ass smile.

“I think there has been some mistake. I’m staying at the Oahu Nouveau.”

She glanced over and saw her luggage, the purple ribbon tied to the handle easy to spot. She turned to retrieve it, but Mr. Akaka stayed her with his hand.

Sophia looked down at his hand on her arm, the dark, honeyed brown against her fair flesh, and had to fight the shiver of awareness that hit her. Slowly, she raised her gaze to his.

“I think you might want to take your hand off me.”

Cynical amusement shifted over his face and his lips quirked. “I’ll get your bag. Which one?”

He didn’t remove his hand.

“Black, purple ribbon.”

“Figures.”

Then he handed his sign to a man off to his left. Good lord, there was another Hawaiian god with him she did not even notice. His smile was genuine. This one was just as gorgeous as his friend, but a little different. Short brown hair, green eyes, but he had the same excellent body. He was dressed much the same way, but his clothes were not as scruffy.

“Since my cousin didn’t introduce me, I’m Jake Akaka.”

He offered his hand, and her built-in business manners took over and she accepted it. His larger, dark hand swallowed hers and against her palm, she felt calluses.

“I’m Sophia Cantwell.”

“I gathered as much. Sorry for my cousin. Our grandmother likes to say that I got all the charm.”

His smile widened and two dimples appeared. Holy mother of God, this one was even more beautiful. She realized then she was still holding his hand. She twisted her hand and finally got it away from him.

“As I was saying, I’m not staying at your condos. I have a room at the—”

“I told you, you’re staying with us,” Maleko said.

“But, my room—”

“I cancelled it. You’re staying at our condos.”

With that, the irritating man strode ahead, her suitcase in his hand. He never looked back.

“Is your cousin insane?”

“Nope, just a pain in the ass. It’ll be best to just play along, because he can be a bit of a pighead.”

She huffed. “Great. Christmas in Hawaii on a business trip and a Neanderthal for a chauffeur. This just keeps getting better by the minute.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Sophia gasped as Mal took her mouth in a hard, needy kiss that had her head spinning. Lord, both of these men could kiss. His tongue danced over hers, inviting, tempting, pulling her into the kiss.

Jack pushed her hair to the side and undid the top of her halter dress. Mal pulled back and let the fabric fall to her waist. Cool air brushed over her hot flesh as he bent and took one nipple into his mouth. Heated pleasure danced over her nerve endings as he sucked then scraped his teeth over her nipples. God, he was insane with his mouth. She did not even notice that jack was pulling at the rest of her dress until it slipped down her legs.

“Oh, my, Mal. We have a very naughty girl on our hands.” Jack’s voice deepened, desire threading through it. He slipped his fingers over her slit.

Mal pulled back. His gaze traveled down her bare body, stopping briefly at her shaved pussy, then down the path to her sandals. By the time his gaze moved back up to her face, she was red with embarrassment.

“Definitely naughty,” he said, his mouth kicking up on one corner. “Wearing no panties, no bra, going out with two men…I think you’re a dream come true.”

Even in her embarrassment, she felt a sense of pride. It wasn’t like her to go without lingerie, but tonight, for some reason, she did it. She had told herself that it was because of the heat and the style of the dress, but she knew that to be a lie. She had wanted to be bad, without any thought that anyone would know. She thought she could have her little naughtiness and only she would be the person to know. But then, she had not expected to come back to her condo and agree to bed two men.

“I think we are in for a hot time tonight, cuz,” Jack said.

Mal nodded, then bent over, slipping one arm beneath her knees, the other at her back, and picked her up. Her sandals slipped off and clattered against the tiled floor, but she paid no attention. Mal was watching her as he carried her, his eyes so intense she was afraid to look away.

He laid her on the bed gently and followed her down. It felt odd being completely naked and having a man on top over her who was completely clothed. But she wasn’t given time to think about it. Mal moved down her body, his mouth moving over her flesh, nipping and teasing her until he settled between her legs.

She rose to her elbows to watch. He slipped his hands over her thighs and spread them further apart. Damn, she wasn’t a prude by any standards, but she could feel the blush rushing over her skin. She would be ever cursed with the damned fair skin.

“I love that you shaved down here,” he said, while he slipped his fingers over her sensitized flesh. “Damn, these pretty pink lips are wet.”

Jack had pulled off his shirt and was only in his jeans. He kneeled on the bed by her stomach and slid his hand down to her pussy. He slipped a finger into her at the same time Mal did. She collapsed on the bed as the sensations moved over her. Both of them fingered her, in rhythm. Wet heat pooled there. She knew it was dripping over their fingers.

“Fuck,” Mal said as one of them added another finger, bringing the number up to three. “I can’t wait to sink my cock into this tight little pussy.”

“Hmm, yeah,” Jack said and someone rubbed against her clit. Without warning her orgasm was on her, shooting her from aroused into a vortex of heated pleasure as it blasted through her.

“Holy shit!” Mal said.

As she was drifting down from the orgasm, she felt Jack move off the bed. Before she could even open her eyes, she felt Mal’s hot breath on her cunt. She lifted her head and looked down at him. His eyes were closed as he set his mouth on her. A look of sheer pleasure moved over his face as his tongue pierced her pussy.

She heard a chuckle from Jack and she glanced at him. He was naked, his entire body there for her to see. She had been right about his build, about the way his long muscles would look under that light brown skin. Her gaze traveled down to muscled chest, sculpted abs, to his erection, which curved up to his belly. She swallowed.

“Are you ready for a taste?” he asked as he crawled beside her on the double bed.

She nodded. “Oh, yes.”
