Today’s snippet theme is Risky Business. Enjoy a look from one of my books.
An snippet from Body Cravings…“Thanks for all your work on this.” Jacques signed the papers and stood.
Pushing aside the thoughts, she focused on business. Standing quickly, she put out her hand. Jacques accepted it in a firm grip. Goosebumps raised along her skin. Biting her lip, she cursed her attraction to him.
Jacques spoke again. “Sampson was correct about your discretion ... and tenacity.”
Pleased with his compliment, Amara came around her desk to escort him out. “Thank you. Congratulations on acquiring Tevron Corp. I’ll forward the copies to you at Falcone International in Milan and give Sampson the original when he returns.” At the door, she waited for him to step through and leave.
Jacques stopped and studied her, an unfathomable expression on his face. “Amara, I want to give you a gift for all of your hard work. What do you want?”
The words tumbled out before she could even think about them. “I want you naked on a chair and ready to do whatever I want.”
The shock on Jacques’ face mortified her. Amara turned and went quickly to the window. She prayed that he would just leave without saying anything. Misery ate at her. She laughed harshly. Who was she kidding? She wouldn’t know what to do with him even if he agreed. Visions of her riding him filled her head. Her body clenched in reaction.
The sound of his shoes on the floor as he left the office deflated her. She dropped her head against the windowpane and hoped he wouldn’t tell Sampson about the forward woman who’d propositioned him.
For a few moments she stared at busy Caspain Avenue. The people below hurried on their way for their Friday night plans. She vowed to forget ever laying eyes on Jacques Falcone. She turned and her breath stalled in her chest.

Jacques sat in the chair in front of her desk, calm and naked except for the condom on his semi-erect member. With a glance at his feet, she saw he had removed his shoes. That’s why she hadn’t heard him approach. He had a look on his face daring her to come touch him.
She clenched her fist to resist temptation. “Why?”
A devilish smile flashed across his face. With a casual shrug, he stood, seemingly unconcerned with his nakedness. He walked toward her with a sleek grace that made her mouth water in anticipation. A glance at his penis made her mouth drop open. He was huge, slick and very aroused. He stopped just before her, raising his hand to her face. He stroked a finger down her cheek, making her shiver.
“I want you and if you want to be in charge, I have no problem with it.” His voice deepened, going hoarse as he leaned closer and whispered “I would enjoy being at your mercy.”
Closing the distance between them, he leaned in and kissed her. It was bold, without the tentative touch of a first kiss. Amara moved forward to meet him, and gasped as he groaned when their bodies touched. The contrast of her fully clothed body against his nakedness made her feel powerful yet vulnerable all at once.
