Faking It with Damian
DJ Hunnam
Publication date: January 23rd 2017
Genres: Contemporary, Erotica, Romance
I don’t do relationships… especially not with egotistical jerks like my new boss, Damian Wood. The man is vile, arrogant, condescending… and scorching hot. If he weren’t my boss and a grade-A a*&hole, I would turn on my world-famous charm and seduce the pants right off the man. But giving in to his undeniable allure might just cost me my job. Or worse yet, my heart.
I’m a prick…and Janice Holder’s new boss. Which means I should stay away, but I’ve never claimed to be a nice guy. If I don’t get my twisted fascination under control, it will only be a matter of time before I bend her over my desk and screw her. Hard. The way I’ve imagined no fewer than a thousand times since we met. I’m playing with fire and neither of us can afford to get burned, but landing in hot water might just be worth the risk.
Faking It is a full-length, standalone office romance. It contains steamy scenes with a ton of heat and strong language intended for mature audiences.
Excerpt:
I gripped her elbow and
forced her into a narrow alleyway. She
shook my hand off with a grunt and turned on me with chest heaving.
"Don't touch me!"
I put both hands up and took
a step back. "Calm down."
"Stop telling me to
calm down."
"If you aren't capable
of handling yourself with professionalism, then you need to go back to the
hotel."
"Oh, that's rich,
coming from a man who forced his employee to share a room with him and then
accosted her while she slept."
"Enough," I
boomed. “I didn’t know you were asleep.”
I backed Janice up against
the wall until our chests nearly touched. Her breathing shallowed and the vein
in her neck throbbed. She gazed up at me with eyes dilated and lips parted. I
saw what she was trying to hide with all of her bravado-laced anger. It lurked
in the depths of those dark, emerald eyes, like a beacon drawing me in.
Pure lust.
"This is the last time
I will allow you to insinuate that I took advantage of you. Understood?"
"Or what?"
I traced my finger along her
jawline and across her plump, bottom lip, relishing the way she trembled under
my touch.
"Or I'll be forced to
prove a point."
"And what's that?"
I leaned closer so that our
lips almost touched. Janice's eyes fluttered shut and her mouth parted, her
pink tongue glistening in welcome.
"That you want me to
fuck you so bad, you'd beg for it."
Her eyes snapped open and
before I could stop her, she slapped me.
Hard.
Hard enough to send me back
a step.
The sharp sound reverberated
down the alleyway with her shocked gasp. I dragged in several measured breaths
before turning to face her. She ducked her head down and stared at the ground,
shaking out her hand with a wince. Clenching her chin in my hand, I forced her
to look at me. Guilt tore through me at the raw anguish I saw there. I had
pushed too far. Again.
Before I could apologize,
she masked the pain and spoke with quiet resolve. "I'm sorry for hitting
you, but you deserved it." There was no way I could argue with that, so I
stayed quiet, watching as she struggled with her next words. "And you're
right. I do want you."
"Janice…" I said,
stepping closer, but she stopped me with her raised hand.
"But it doesn't matter.
This," she said, gesturing between us, "can never be." I opened
my mouth to argue, but she stopped me with a shake of her head. "When we
get to the office, you and I are going to do the job we came here to do. That's
it. No more flirting. No more touching. No more getting to know each
other," she insisted as she stabbed me in the chest with her finger,
driving me back with each one of her statements.
She hitched her laptop bag
higher on her shoulder and pushed past me with a huff. I watched her retreating
backside with awe. That had not gone as expected. Instead of clearing the air,
I had managed to make things ten times worse.
"Oh, and Damian,"
she sang out with a cool smile as she came to the end of the alleyway.
"Yeah?"
"Don't let what I said
go to your head. I may want you, but mark my words. You'll be the one on your
knees before it's all said and done."
