Free The Mermaid and her King by Scarlet Wolfe Page B

such a shame to see all these rooms do nothing but collect dust.

    I hate that she’s angry at me, but damn, her feistiness turns me on. I slowly stalk toward the family room. Her back is to me, and all I can focus on is her cute ass shaking back and forth.
    She must really be enjoying her music. I’m really enjoying watching her ass move to it. Could those shorts be any tighter? She turns around, and shit, she catches me.
    “Are you enjoying the show? ” she asks as she yanks out her ear buds.
    I start laughing. I can’t hel p it. There are a number of things I could do with that smart mouth of hers and that cute ass. “It’s quite entertaining.”
    “Was it as entertaining as you pacing around the kitchen, talking to yourself?” She throws her free hand to her hip.
    I’m going to devour that mouth and fuck her senseless. “I’m sorry I was rude again the other day. It was difficult to wake up with you in my bed.” I’m serious now.
    She cocks he r head to the side. “What does that mean? Never mind because it’s not like you’ll tell me. I can’t keep up with your erratic personality and inept ability at conversation.”
    She grabs her stuff an d walks right past me. The need to be near her is too strong for me to resist, so after a few minutes, I creep my way up the stairs to find her. I paid a hundred thousand dollars to stalk my housekeeper in my own home. I think it’s time for some professional help.
    Q uietly, I walk down the hallway until I hear her. She’s in my damn bedroom! What the hell is she doing? Did I fail to tell her not to clean in there? The door’s cracked, so I look in, and damn she’s close to my bed. I don’t believe I’m going anywhere good when I leave this earth, so I’m going to enjoy myself beforehand. I’m kissing her.

The Tide Turns

    I’ll show him. I go into his bedroom on purpose. I hope he finds me in here and is thoroughly uncomfortable with it. His room is huge, and the furniture is massive. I don’t even want to know how many women have been in that king size bed, and I hate that I’m jealous.
    I’m about to spray wood cleaner on his dresser when I feel the tap on my shoulder. Practically jumping out of my skin, I turn around. I can’t believe I let that happen again, but I didn’t expect him to ever touch me.
    His dark, hooded eyes gaze at me intensely as he takes out my ear buds. He steps forward, way into my personal space, and the next thing I know I’m being backed against his bedroom wall. One hand goes up into my hair, and the other squeezes my waist, all while his lips slam against mine. He forces his tongue into my mouth, pulling me to him in every way.
    I drop the woo d polish and paper towels that are in my hands and wrap my arms around his neck, my fingers sliding up into his hair. I kiss him back lustfully, savoring his tongue that’s sweeping my mouth. His hair slides right through my fingers like silk. What is it about this man’s hair?
    His powerful, fit body presses against me, pinning me harder against the wall while his tongue assaults my mouth. I shove my hips against him and whimper, my body begging for him to put me in his bed. After a couple of minutes, he slows our kiss. Letting go of my lips, he gazes down at me like he’s a starving man.
    “You’re not supposed to clean my room,” he says in almost a whisper. I feel his sizzling breath on my skin.
    “No one told me, but if this is my punishment , then I’m doing it again.”
    “Fuck.” H e groans and grabs my face, putting his hungry mouth on mine once again. I run my hands up under the back of his shirt, my fingertips gliding along his tense muscles. He halts and releases my lips, allowing me to see the quick rise and fall of his chest as my hands make their descent down his back.
    He leans his forehead against mine and brushes the back of his hand down my cheek. “It was difficult to wake up in bed with you, Skyla because all I wanted to do was
