“Oh, my god …” she mumbles as I open the box and a sparkling ring appears.
Some would probably say I’m crazy and that I should take it slow. I say they’re all crazy. I’ve known her long enough to realize that what we have is precious and I need to seal the deal. Fuck taking it slow. It’s not every day you meet a girl like Emily.
“I can’t exactly go down on one knee, seeing as I’m a wheelchair and all, so I figured I’d get you on my lap instead. It’ll have to do for now, so I hope you aren’t mad,” I muse.
“Mad? Mad?” she says. “I can’t believe it!” she squeals.
“I hope that’s a good thing,” I say, laughing a bit.
“Yes!” she screams, hugging me tight. “Yes!”
With a stupid grin, I nudge her back. “I haven’t even asked yet.”
“Oh, right,” she says, wiping away a few happy tears.
I smile. “Emily … will you marry me?”
“Yes,” she says, nodding, barely able to hold back the tears.
I take the ring from the box and grab her shaky hand, putting the ring on her finger. Right where it belongs.
“Now you’re mine forever,” I say.
She throws herself on top of me, knocking the box from my hand in the process as she squishes me with a hug and kisses on my cheek. “Always.”
“I love you,” I say. “That won’t ever change.”
“And I love you just as much,” she says, rubbing herself against me while hugging me tight.
We’re both half-naked, hugging with happy tears, and beaming smiles plastered on our faces. I don’t think it can get any better than this.
“Mine …” I whisper in her ear.
She’s mine, just as it should’ve been.
All mine.
Fuck, I am one lucky man.

Liked Bastard? You’ll probably enjoy The Possessed Trilogy too!
My boss is an asshole.
I’d take off my heels and throw them at his face, if they weren’t so expensive.
Why? Because my boss, the sexy, billionaire bad boy Leo King, wants me to be his wife.
That’s right. His wife. Except, it isn’t real. It’s all pretend so his family believes it, and I’m supposed to go along with it.
Asshole doesn’t even begin to describe him, and it’s only going to get worse. Especially because his cocky attitude and sudden interest in my private life make it difficult to concentrate on something other than his sexual innuendos. I always do what he wants, and we both know it. It’s not like I have a choice. Agree or get fired.
I’m going to need a drink … Or twenty.

Excerpt of Possessed
He bites his lip so seductively it makes my head spin. “Screw the rules.” And then he plunges in to kiss me again. He presses his body to mine, sucking on my bottom lip as he drags me even closer. His hot kisses take the air from my lungs while he grabs my ass tight and cups my face with spread fingers. They drift to the back of my head to grasp my hair and push me even closer.
“Fuck …” he whispers as our mouths unlatch to breathe. “I can’t stop. I won’t.”
He’s smothering me with kisses, not giving me an inch to breathe. He lets go of me, only to take off his own shirt, dropping it to the floor. Only his tie is left hanging around his neck. What appears underneath has me gasping for air. He’s ripped, six-pack and all, a delicious V-shape disappearing into his pants. He’s muscular as hell, and it’s making me even more hot and bothered.
“Holy crap …” I mutter.
He flashes a cocky smile, smashing his lips onto mine again. He pulls me along toward his bed, tugging the zipper on my back. The dress falls down, but I don’t even realize it because his kisses are just that good. It’s hard to admit because I hate how he treats me, but at the same time, I can’t get enough of this. Fuck no, I don’t want it to stop, either.
Next thing I know, I’m on the bed in just my bra and panties, and he’s crawling on top of me like a real lion.
“I don’t understand …” I murmur as he starts kissing my legs. I look down at him, getting flustered when I realize he’s looking at my partially naked body, which isn’t all that flattering.
“Isn’t it obvious?” he says, dragging his lips up my thighs, making me moan. “I want you.”
He leaves a trail of kisses up my stomach and to my chest, hovering close to my face. I feel myself getting red again.
“Oh god, but why? I don’t understand. I thought you said—”
“Shh.” He places a finger on my lips. “Enough talking for today.”
Leo removes his finger and replaces it with his mouth.
Well, that shut me up all right.
I don’t know why I’m letting him ravage my body and talk to me like this, claiming me as if I can’t say anything back … oh, who am I kidding, I can’t. This is what I’ve wanted all along, ever since he started teasing me, and oh boy, it’s so not what I expected. It’s even hotter than I imagined. I’m not prepared for the exquisite sight of his rippling body as he leans up to unbuckle his belt.
“You’ve been such a fucking distraction all this time … I’m not going to hold back any longer.”
“Hold back?” I whimper, as he loops his belt through the holes.
“And you call me an asshole?” He raises a brow. “I’ve seen the way you react to my flirting. You want this. Badly. So bad, you’re even angry at me for not giving it to you.”
“What?” I exclaim.
And then he grabs my wrist and pins it above the bed. “You heard what I said.”
He wraps the belt around my wrist and pulls it tight. “What are you doing?” I ask, my heartbeat rising.
“Doing what you want,” he says. He bends over until his forehead touches mine, his fingers grasping the bed tight. “Your emotions are all over the place, Sam. I think it’s time I got them under control.”
