EXCERPT:
Sitting at the dinner table
surrounded by their friends, Nick squeezed Becca’s thigh. She turned to him
wearing a huge smile, a champagne glass in her hand. “Are you feeling frisky,
Mr. Rixey?” she asked.
Nick leaned in close. “No, I’m
fucking horny. I want to mess up your lipstick and tear off your panties and
make my fingers and cock smell like you.” He leaned back again, his face
carefully neutral.
Her eyes were wide—and full of
heat. “Holy shit. How am I supposed to be apart from you the rest of the night
after that?”
“Welcome to my world, Sunshine.”
He threw back a gulp of whiskey.
“Come here. I want to taste that
off your tongue,” she said.
“Jesus,” he gritted out, but it
wasn’t like he was turning down a kiss. She leaned in, giving him a great view
of her cleavage down the front of her sequined strapless dress, and grasped his
face in her hand. Her lips were warm, soft, and tasted like champagne and the
chocolate mousse cake they’d shared for dessert. Fucking delicious. Her tongue
slipped around his, and she pressed herself closer.
“Someone pull those two apart,”
one of the guys yelled.
Nick grinned even as they
continued to kiss. He wasn’t voluntarily giving up Becca’s mouth, that was for
goddamned sure.
“All right,” Kat said from the
other side of Nick. “We better get the rest of the night underway before we
lose the bride and groom.” Laughter all around as everyone got up from the
table.
“Do you think they’d notice if we
snuck away?” Becca asked, her face absolutely glowing.
Beckett grabbed Nick by the
shoulders. “Get up, Rix. The tables are waiting for us.”
“Apparently,” Nick said. “You go
have a good time, Sunshine. But you be ready for me later.” He arched a brow.
“Oh, I will,” Becca said, her
tongue licking at her bottom lip.
Shit, he had it bad for her. And
he fucking loved it. This woman was going to be his wife. How
fantastically lucky was he? A man who just months ago would’ve said he didn’t
believe in luck, unless it was of the bad kind.
Outside, they found two massive
stretch Hummer limousines waiting for them. Beckett had arranged their
transportation for the evening through one of the companies he had experience
working with—the cars were bulletproof and the drivers were prior military and
armed. Nick appreciated the hell out of the gesture.
As the men headed for one vehicle
and the women for the other, Nick pulled Becca into his arms. “Have fun, Sunshine.
I love you.”
“Love you, too, Nick.” This kiss
was softer, sweeter. Which was good, since all their friends started giving
them shit.
“Yeah, yeah,” Nick said, flipping
the guys the finger.
“Before you go, I have something
for you,” he murmured, then slipped a little wrapped box into Becca’s hand. “Wear
this and think of me.”
“What is it?” she asked.
“I’m not telling,” he said.
About Hard Ever After:

Now, for one last time, Nick and Becca must fight for their always and forever, because they know that when true love overcomes all the odds it lasts hard ever after.
