The Dom Who Loved Me (Masters and Mercenaries #1)(97)

“Can’t pregnant ladies like cookies?” Adam snagged a chip and some dip anyway.

“I am not a pastry chef.” Sean said it like it was the worst thing a person could be. Sean had become a terrible food snob.

Grace was just happy Sean and Adam were friends again. “I’ll make some chocolate chip cookies tonight. We need some sweets. Savory boy over there would feed me protein day and night.”

Sean shrugged. “Practice makes perfect.”

Adam ambled off after enjoying a healthy portion of chips and guacamole. Grace sat back and enjoyed the view as her husband bent over to pull out the rest of her feast. Damn, he looked fine in a pair of jeans. He looked even better naked. The only thing she craved more than avocados was her Viking. She was just about to reach out and pat that hot ass when Ian walked by. He nodded at her on his way into the big corner office. He did not stop to talk to Sean, but she didn’t miss the way he looked at his brother. Ian missed him, but he wasn’t pushing.

She liked being the office manager of McKay-Taggart. She especially enjoyed going toe to toe with her brother-in-law. Sean had progressed. He was talking to Ian again. Oh, he was only using four letter words, but Grace had high hopes.

She had no intention of the baby not knowing her uncle.

“I’m going to go heat up the soup.” Sean kissed her again. He did it all the time. He always had his hands on her. “Don’t go anywhere.”

“Not a chance, baby.”

After a few minutes, she could smell the heavenly aroma of tortilla soup coming from the break room.

“Hello?”

Grace looked up. A pretty woman in a green sweater and blue jeans stared down at her. She had a mass of curly brown hair and clutched an oversized handbag in front of her. She was lovely in a very soft, feminine way. She had an hourglass figure and big green eyes. “How can I help you?”

The woman, who Grace pegged as late-twenties, early-thirties, bit her bottom lip nervously. “I need to hire a body guard. My agent recommended your firm.”

“And why do you need a bodyguard?” It wasn’t an unusual request, but it certainly wasn’t one they got from walk-ins. In fact, they almost never had walk-ins.

The woman laughed, but it was a nervous sound. Her eyes turned down sadly. “I know this is going to sound silly, but someone’s trying to kill me.”

It was a terrible thing to hear, yet Grace found herself smiling. She knew just how to play this one. “Oh, dear. We can definitely help with that. And why take one bodyguard, when you can have two?”

Sean was coming back in from the break room when she placed the call to Jake. She had a feeling about this one. Jake’s eyes widened when he came out to escort the lovely Serena Brooks to his office.

“Matchmaker,” Sean accused as he set the bowl in front of her.

His eyes were hot on her as he sat down. She knew that look. She was going to get pulled into someone’s office for a little play. Her pregnancy hadn’t slowed Sean down a bit. He still was her hungry Master. Thank God.

“You know what they say about newlyweds. They can’t stand for anyone to not be as happy as they are.”

He winked at her. “Then Adam and Jake should watch out.”

Yes. If they were anywhere near as lucky as she and Sean, they had better.

A LITTLE HARMLESS SUBMISSION


Melissa Schroeder

Copyright 2011 Melissa Schroeder




Coming October 25th, 2011 to digital, the next all new Harmless book from bestselling author Melissa Schroeder.



The following excerpt is unedited.



For a tough as nails Dom hunting a sadistic serial killer is nothing compared to losing his heart.

Rome Carino is hunting a predator. One who likes to hurt submissives and the most popular BDSM club’s patrons are being targeted. With each fresh kill, he gets more brazen. Rome knows he just needs one little break, but before he can make headway, the FBI shows up. Worse, the uptight, buttoned-down Special Agent Maria Callahan suggests a plan that is dangerous, but worth it because it might just catch the killer. If Rome can keep his mind on the case and off the beautiful FBI agent, he'll be just fine.

Maria is still trying to step out of her legendary father's shadow and knows just how to do it. Luring the killer by posing as Rome's new sub seems like a good idea. That is, until undercover becomes real life and she finds herself tangled up with a man who amazes and scares her at the same time. Her growing attraction to the Honolulu Police Detective is a little too much to handle. Even knowing that, she can't help falling in love with the tough Dom and losing herself in the games they play in the bedroom.
