"Kinky, Luke."

"Necessary, babe."

"Why?"

Kissing her on the lips I run my hand down her body and give her a saucy wink and a smirk. "Because I want you to writhe in pleasure. I want you to call my name and no one else's, never again to fuck anyone but me. I want you to think of me every time you get wet, to have myself imprinted in the depths of your mind until you can't live without me, and I want you out of your mind as I fuck you back to reality. I want you, Iris Morris."

*******

Drama and attachments. These were the two things Iris Morris never wanted to occur in her life. 

However, when Lucas Andrews pops up and ruins her interview, both of them unfold in all the wrong ways—like him suddenly filling her small circle of influence. . and her mind!

For Lucas Andrews, getting the Adder magazine to be number one on the bestsellers chart is his top priority, even if it costs him his social and romantic life. 

So when Iris comes as both the perfect magazine editor and the remedy he needs to ward off the girls who keep bugging him, he takes the chance and never lets her go.

But what starts as a way to avoid getting stalked soon turns to lust, and every minute they spend together soon becomes agony because the two begin growing the last thing they thought they would for each other—feelings.

Add a dating deal to the mix and you have the perfect recipe for trouble.

Will the two be able to hold on to themselves and their values, or will their lust win and lead them astray on a path they never imagined they would ever take?

Flip the pages and find out how it will all end.

I toss and turn in bed, the sheets tangled around my legs, offering no comfort. The clock on the nightstand ticks away, each second amplifying the turmoil in my mind. I'm trying to shake the image of Iris's face from my thoughts—the hurt in her eyes when I had tried to reach out, the way she had asked for space as if it were a lifeline. How did we get to this point? The fight erupted so suddenly, and now the silence stretches between us like an unbridgeable chasm. I miss her fiercely, a constant ache in my chest that no amount of distraction can alleviate. The success of the magazine feels hollow without sharing it with the one person who matters most to me.
