Free Breathless In Love (The Maverick Billionaires #1) by Bella Andre, Jennifer Skully

in the car as they’d sped through the night. And now, as they explored a secret, off-limits place together, she was simply burning up inside.
    He turned to her then, and if he’d said something, anything, she might have found some control. But when he simply looked , with something sparkling in his eyes that felt like longing and desire entwined, Harper was lost.
    She had to taste him, had to see if his kiss would be as good as the fast ride he’d just given her in his car.
    Her fingers fisted in his shirt, and she yanked him close, chest to chest. Then she was up on her tippy toes, wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing his mouth down to hers. Angling her head, she licked along his lips, savoring him just as she had the caviar.
    But it was the moan she couldn’t keep inside that truly set everything in motion. An instant later, Will was holding her tighter and lifting her off the ground. His mouth came down hard against hers and she had to cling to his arms to steady herself. Seating her on the edge of the parapet, he cupped her face in his big hands and devoured her.
    Just the same way she was devouring him.
    She couldn’t get enough—the hard, strong length of him as he stood between her legs, the headiness of his kiss. In a matter of moments, he had taken control of the kiss she’d initiated, and she was stunned to realize that she loved the way he played with her, sweeping in, stealing her breath, then backing off to take her lips at another angle, before going deep again.
    He wooed her passion out and out and out, until it was inextricably tangled up with his. The stone was cold beneath her, a delicious contrast to the burning heat inside and the warmth of his mouth on hers.
    No one had ever kissed her like this—taking, demanding absolutely everything she had to give. Kissing had been a prelude with other men, but Will made it seem like kissing her was exactly what he’d been dying for, precisely what he’d dreamed of.
    And Harper realized she’d been dreaming about it all along, too. From the moment he’d stepped out of his car beside the hangar, she’d been hurtling toward this moment without even knowing it.
    He skimmed his fingers down her arms. “Hold on to me,” he murmured against her lips, bringing her hands up around his shoulders.
     His mouth consumed her all over again, his hands on the move, leaving trails of heat. His thumbs grazed the sides of her breasts, setting fire to all her nerve endings. Harper couldn’t breathe. She could only want. Could only need as his mouth owned her and his hands promised pleasures beyond her wildest dreams.
    Teetering on the edge, she knew she was going to fall. Not into the water, but into something far deeper. Right into Will. Into anything he wanted, right here, right now, with the water raging below them and the midnight sky burning above.
    And then nothing would ever be the same again.
    She suddenly pushed at him, slamming the brakes on with a squeal of her heart. “Wait, wait, wait.”
    She needed to stop, needed to breathe, needed to try and think straight. This was going too fast. Way too fast.
    All she’d wanted was a test drive. All she’d wanted was to see if he kissed the way he drove.
    But it turned out that kissing Will Franconi was a million times better than any fast ride could ever be.
    She never, ever took her eye off the ball. Never for one second forgot that her focus needed to be on taking care of her brother, with everything else coming a distant second. But tonight, for a few heady moments in Will’s arms, she’d forgotten.
    Forgotten so easily that it terrified her.
    “You okay?” he asked. His breathing wasn’t so steady, either, but that was no consolation.
    “I need a minute, just a minute.”
    But the truth was that she needed way more than that, needed to find a way to clear her head, her body, of everything Will had just done to her with only one hot kiss.
    “I got carried away.” There was a raw huskiness in his
