Free Lusted in Las Vegas by Sandra Bunino

Prologue
     
     
    It should’ve been a savory little morsel of a memory she could tuck in the “once in a lifetime” section of her life. However, she wasn’t able to file it away and move on. She just couldn’t get him out of her mind. She needed a second helping of Jason Royce. That’s how Stephanie Thomas ended up in the swanky La Luna Lounge on the Las Vegas strip, waiting for the same man she met five weeks ago. The same man who was still under the impression that she was married. That was her shield. It was her way of not getting too close. After all, Jason was a confirmed bachelor. He had the looks and resources to play the field. Stephanie was sure he left a trail of broken hearts in his path and she sure as hell wouldn’t be one of them.
    She closed her eyes and savored the first sip of her sugar-rimmed pomegranate martini. It was just one night, but what a delicious night it had been. She smiled and recalled how he brought her to sexual peaks she never knew existed. Her body hummed with thoughts of his touch and the last thing he said to her, “I haven’t tasted you yet.”
    Her heart raced at the thought of seeing Jason again. But as quickly as the panic set in, it dissolved the moment she sensed a presence from behind. His warm hand caressed the bare skin low on her back sending sparks from his touch to the nape of her neck. The vibration of a husky voice rumbled from her ear to the tips of her toes.
    “Stef.”
    With a flick of her foot against the bar, she swiveled in her chair to meet Jason’s gaze. God, it was good to see him. Masculinity exuded from his rock hard body under a perfectly tailored black suit. His dark skin and features made him look almost dangerous, but his eyes sparkled as they seared into her flesh. Taking a deep breath, she instantly relaxed. She had been anxious to see Jason, but all doubts melted as he stood before her.
    Slipping off of her seat, Stephanie reached for his chest, fingering the edge of his jacket lapel and tracing the planes of his strong shoulders with her fingertips. Enjoying the electricity coursing through her body, she moved closer to Jason until the heat of his mouth melded with hers.
    “I’ve missed you,” she whispered.
    Cupping her cheek with one hand, he encircled her waist with the other and pulled her close. Their lips touched and she kissed him slow, savoring every second. The contour of his mouth was instantly familiar and intimate. Memories of their Miami night flooded back as the tip of her tongue found his bottom lip.
    Jason pulled away from their kiss and placed his forehead against hers. His growing black pupils awoke a garden’s population of butterflies within her stomach.
    “I’ve missed you too, Stef.”
    Raking her fingers through his hair, she wanted to take his hand and lead the way back to their villa.
    “Let’s go,” she smiled and winked.
    “All in good time,” he said while kissing the inside of her palm. “We have five days and five nights together, besides, I have a few surprises up my sleeve.”
    “Okay. We’ll play it your way, but I need to tell you something.”
    “Anything, Stef, you can tell me anything.”
    Stephanie tilted her face to his ear and whispered, “I don’t have any panties on.”
    “Damn, I knew it.”

Chapter 1
     
        
     
    Las Vegas. Sin City. A place known for glitz, glamour, excitement and fantasy. IT was a premier adult playground where one can pretend to be anything or anyone because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
    Jason held her hand and gestured toward the lobby with his other. As he escorted her through the hotel to the waiting limousine, people stared as they passed. By herself, she was exposed and vulnerable, but at Jason’s side she was strong and empowered. Yes. She was in Sin City and Stephanie was going to play the part and enjoy every minute.
    “Where are we going?” she asked sliding into the limo.
    “One of my favorite restaurants and I have a surprise for you
