Enjoy the following excerpt for FROM THIS MOMENT ON...
Marcus Sullivan was
known for his patience. After helping to raise his seven siblings,
he’d learned to wait out tantrums, fistfights, even tears.
But tonight, he was
all out of patience.
He’d come to the
club tonight to find a woman, to proposition her, to claim her for
one no-holds-barred night, but he’d been watching the dancers for
long enough to know that he wasn’t going to take a single one of
them to bed. None of the women who’d walked in through the thick
red curtain in the past thirty minutes had been contenders, either.
Until, suddenly,
the curtain parted…and she walked in.
Marcus felt like a
fist had slammed straight into his gut.
The woman was
young, mid-twenties probably, and so beautiful it almost hurt to look
at her. Her black leather dress left nothing to his imagination,
fitting her like a second skin with wide cut-outs that ran down the
side of her insane curves.
She was the one.
As she stood in the
doorway and slowly scanned the crowd, every eye in the room was on
her. She was magnetic, had that special something that made it
impossible to pull your eyes away from her.
And then her eyes
met his, illuminated by a beam of light in the dark room, and
although Marcus hadn’t drunk nearly enough at Chase’s engagement
party to be unsteady on his feet, one look at those clear blue eyes
had him fighting for balance.
What was wrong with
him?
He needed to
remember, at all times, what tonight was about. Pleasure. Not
emotion. Not a relationship. It was okay for certain parts of his
body below the waist to react like a match had been lit from nothing
more than looking at the woman. Everything else was off-limits. He
wasn’t looking for a woman to respect.
And he definitely
wasn’t going to fall in love.
The dangerous
curves began to shift beneath the thin layer of leather as she moved
straight toward him, never once breaking stride, even in impossibly
high heels. Marcus couldn’t miss the challenge in her gaze, a look
that asked if he was man enough to handle her.
He’d always liked
his women tall and slim, not barely coming up to his chest like this
one. A voice in his head told him she was way too young for him,
young enough that if this were any other night, he’d walk away from
her now.
But he wasn’t
planning on walking away from whatever this woman offered. Not until
first light.
And definitely not
until he’d had his fill of those curves.
