Sixteen Months ago.
“Holy shit,” she said
softly. “That’s a nice car.”
“You like it?” he asked,
sounding proud of himself.
“Who wouldn’t?” The newest
model convertible Corvette Stingray was likely the sexiest car of them all.
She’d always had a fondness for sports cars, but she’d never been truly fond of
Corvettes. At least not until they recently released the Stingray again.
Max
stepped in front of the car, blocking her view of the car. “Happy Birthday.”
“How…?”
Confused she studied him. “How did you know?”
“What?
That it was your birthday or that you’d want that car?”
Courtney
peered around him. “That... That’s for me?”
“It
is,” he told her. “Now go check it out.”
Feeling
slightly off kilter, Courtney slowly moved around the car, her gaze darting
between Max and the sleek shark gray metallic car.
“Seriously,
Max. This is… Well, it’s incredible, but you know I can’t take this car.”
“Yes
you can,” he told her simply.
The
top was open so she peered inside, taking in the sexy jet black leather
interior. She wondered what it would feel like behind the wheel.
“Get in,” he told her as he opened the
passenger side door.
When
he slipped into the car, she grinned. What the hell. It wouldn’t hurt to take
it for a test drive, right?
And
then, when they got back she’d tell him she couldn’t keep it. Because falling
in love with him was one thing, accepting a car that likely cost him close to a
hundred grand was something entirely different.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Pull
over,” Max instructed when they were hidden by a copse of trees deep on his
land. He’d wanted her to test drive the Corvette, but admittedly he’d had
something else in mind as well.
Another
birthday present for her.
Courtney
stopped the car, frowning when she looked over at him.
“Don’t
look so upset,” he said with a smile. “Now get out.”
If
he wasn’t mistaken, there was a hint of concern in her eyes, but he shrugged it
off. He didn’t want to think that she’d fear him for any reason. She’d
surprised him earlier when she muttered for him not to hurt her and he had to
wonder where that was coming from.
Then
again, she knew him, knew what he was capable of. But in the same sense, if she
ever thought he would hurt her, she didn’t know him at all.
Once
she met him at the front of the car. Max turned to her, taking her into his
arms and crushing his mouth to hers, his hands trailing the thin fabric that
covered her. She’d worn a skirt, which had been his suggestion and again, he’d
had something in mind when he made the request. He had to wonder whether she’d
figure that out yet or not.
Easing
her back onto the hood of the car, Max pulled back enough to look at her.
“Kick
off your shoes. Wouldn’t want you to scratch the paint.”
Courtney
grinned, and her shoes hit the ground.
“Now
for my next gift,” he told her.
“And
that would be?” She asked, grinning.
“An
orgasm. On the hood of your car.”
Hmm.
I like the sound of that.”
Sometimes love isn’t beautiful...
Meet Max & Courtney is this southern mafia romance!
Blurb
Sometimes love isn’t beautiful...
Sometimes the only way to describe it is beautifully brutal.
If you think you know him… You’re wrong.
If you think you know his family… Wrong again.
If you think you know his story… You don’t.
If you did, you’d likely wonder how the hell a man like
Maximillian Adorite managed to make it to this point in his life. At
twenty-nine, he’s experienced more than most people could only ever imagine,
all thanks to his family. Organized crime they call it. Mafia.
No matter how they spin it, it comes down to one thing. Max
gets what he wants. Except for the one thing he wants most.
Her name is Courtney Kogan.
And now that he’s had a taste of her, Max knows he’ll never
be able to let her go.
The Southern Boy Mafia series is a spinoff from the Sniper 1
Security series. It has been set up to be read without reading Sniper 1
Security, however, the characters will frequently cross over.
