PleasureGames: A Games Novella Read online

  Just like in the past.

  Happily, I snuggled down under him, not minding his half-crushing weight. I loved being utterly covered by H in bed. Loved it. "So is the network going to be pissed at you that you're sleeping with me before the final decision ceremony?"

  "Fuck the network," he murmured sleepily, nuzzling my hair.

  I chuckled and held him closer. "They'll probably kick us out of the hotel if we're not playing their little game."

  "They can't," he told me. His fingers traced circles on my bare shoulder. "They weren't the ones invited here. I was."

  I frowned, not understanding. "What do you mean?"

  "Eden's...not like every other place," Heathcliff explained. "The master of the island is a pretty reclusive bastard, but a decent guy. Met him a while back. He invited me to come out here. Thing is with Eden, it's all about finding the thing you want most."

  "Like Fantasy Island?" I teased. That sounded...silly.

  "I guess," he said, and nestled his head closer to mine. "At any rate, I told him what I wanted, and he offered to let me rent this wing of the hotel out from him for the show. So yeah, they're here on my dime. They can't kick me out, but I can certainly boot them, and will in the morning."

  My fingers stroked Heathcliff's arm, processing these thoughts. I wondered what other fantasies people had come to Eden to act out. What other sorts of places this beautiful island had to explore. "So, what did you tell the master you wanted most?"

  "Isn't it obvious?" Heathcliff said, and kissed my cheek gently. "I wanted you back."

  Happy tears blurred my eyes, and I turned my head so I could kiss his mouth. "You got me, H."

  Epilogue

  "Repurpose your footage. Shove it up your ass. I don't care what you do with it. I got what I came for." -- Heathcliff Forester, the Billionaire Bachelor, Last Episode Interview

  Months Later

  * * *

  Dear Mr. Forester,

  After careful consideration, the network has elected not to air the footage of The Billionaire Bachelor. In light of the fact that the contest seems rigged from the start and there is a real lack of tension as to the outcome, we regret to inform you that the show is not what we are seeking at this time.

  We sincerely wish you and your new wife Juno the best of luck.

  Cordially,

  Simon Masterson, Network Head of Programming

  Delicious and Deadly by C.C. MacKenzie (Ludlow Hall, Book 8)

  * * *

  Emma Ludlow’s temperature is rising and it’s not because of the sweltering Florida sun. Her lucrative business is bloodshed and slaughter. All she wants is peace and quiet in Eden to plot her latest murder. However, a much-adored celebrity chef is in Eden, too. The man is insufferable with an overblown ego she’s dying to kill. His slow smile may be ‘Delicious’, but she won’t taste it, not again. Being famous and wealthy isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. Oscar Zamani learned that life lesson the hard way when he let the seductively mysterious Emma slip through his fingers. Now an Invitation To Eden has given him another chance to show her that this time he can be trusted. But little does Oscar know that Emma has a dark secret. A secret that might be ‘Deadly’ to his heart.

  HOW TO TEMPT A TYCOON – A Savage Interactive (excerpt)

  For the amount I moved away, Christophe moves one and a half times closer. His smile is so fucking seductive and knowing I want to kiss it right off his face. “Let me guess how it goes for you.”

  “Fine. Go ahead and try.”

  His nearness makes me quiver and I grasp onto my thighs to keep him from seeing how much he affects me.

  “You meet a lover, someone you haven’t seen in a while and the two of you can’t keep your hands off one another.”

  I shake my head and frown. Not because he’s wrong…

  “Kissing wildly, passionately.” He glances at where my legs are crossed. “Your pussy already dripping wet just from the thought of the reunion.” He shifts on the couch. “His cock hard the moment he sees you.”

  I raise my finger to stop him right there but he plows right ahead.

  “Your clothes fly off. Some get torn in the process. All that pretty lingerie, disposable. Barely appreciated.”

  How the hell does he know about my penchant for pretty lingerie?

  “Once you’re naked, he pushes you down on the bed. The act has become primal. The two of you functioning on instinct. Him needing to claim you. You needing to be pinned beneath his weight. Both of you needing to be joined and making it happen like wild animals. Hard and fast.”

  I stop trying to interrupt him.

  He takes my hand, unclenches my fist and gently caresses my damp palm while his gaze never leaves mine. “Fucking,” he whispers, his fingers weaving between mine.

  I lick my lips.

  “Hard. You like it hard.”

  A tiny whimper tickles up my throat.

  “Racing toward your goal of momentary bliss.” His fingers trail softly to my wrist and up my forearm, his touch in complete contrast with his words.

  “Needing to release.” His hand moves gently up my shoulder to my neck.

  “Needing to explode…” His words trail off as his thumb slides into my mouth.

  “And then you do.”
