All That He Wants (9 page)

And for what?

To be blissfully, incredibly happy –

For what, another hour?

Another night?

Maybe another two?

“Take a chance,” Connor whispered. “Be that woman I made love to just now. Come with me.”

I shivered when he said ‘made love.’ I thought of us up there in the boardroom, his lips on mine, his body inside me.

The pleasure he had given me.

The amazing connection we had shared.

I could feel that again…

…or I could give it up and be miserable tonight and the rest of the weekend, lose my job anyway, and wonder what I’d missed out on for the rest of my life.

“Screw it,” I breathed. “Let’s go.”

Connor burst into an enormous grin.

He turned to the car by the curb and opened the rear door.

I had thought it was a taxi, or – actually, no, I hadn’t been thinking about it at all. I’d been too wrapped up in kissing Connor, and then in worrying about whether I should go with him or not.

So when I saw a black Bentley – apparently some sort of limo, since it was shorter than a stretch, but longer than a regular sedan – I was a little bit thrown, to say the least.

I looked over at Connor. He seemed incredibly pleased with himself as he opened the back door for me.

“What the hell is this?” I asked in shock.

“Just get in.”

This guy wasn’t just some mid-level executive at a consulting firm. Mid-level executives didn’t normally tool around in Bentley limos.

Who is he?

A stranger. A man I hardly knew.

I could feel the fear rise in me… but then I remembered his touch up in the penthouse. The way he had kissed me.

And the fear dissolved.

Who is he, though?

I didn’t know… but more than anything, I wanted to find out.

And I wanted what we’d shared up in the penthouse.

Again and again, as much as I could get, in whatever time we had left.

I stepped into the car, Connor got in after me, and he closed the door behind us.

Hello there! Thank you for reading ALL THAT HE WANTS!

If you enjoyed it, would you mind leaving a review on Amazon? It can be simple, nothing fancy. Good reviews really do help authors out – especially indie authors like me – so if you don’t mind, I would be very grateful!

Some of you may know me from a historical romance novel I wrote called
PASSION AND PRIDE
, which I wrote under the pen name Amelia Nolan. If you enjoy historical romances (especially Regency romances or anything having to do with the French Revolution), give it a try – I think you’ll enjoy it! And to all my readers who left reviews on PASSION, thank you, thank you, thank you!

ALL THAT HE WANTS is a very unusual project for me. Number one, it’s only my second book, and I’m kind of ‘learning as I go.’ Number two, I’m a bit of a control freak, and I tend to plot out my stories from beginning to end. As of right now, I have only the barest notion of where Lily and Connor will wind up. I can see the destination far off in the distance – I think – but I have no idea what roads will lead them there. It’s pretty scary (for me, anyway).

I guess what I’m trying to tell you is that this is a serial novel, meaning it will be published in parts – and not all of them are written. As of December 2012, I’ve only finished two installments, and I’m not entirely sure when the next one will be done.

ALL THAT HE DESIRES (The Billionaire’s Seduction Part 2)
is available right now. I’m hoping to have Part 3 ready in early 2013, but I’m not sure exactly when that will be.

If you would like to notified when the next installment is available, please email me at

and just let me know you want to be added to the mailing list. And if you just want to say ‘Hey there, Olivia,’ please do – I love hearing from readers! Trust me, when you slave over a keyboard wondering, ‘Is anybody ever going to read this?’ it’s a godsend to hear from people who enjoyed it. Like little messages in bottles washing up on the shores of my lonely writer’s island.

Thank you again for reading the book – I hope you enjoyed it, and if you decide to keep reading the next installment, I hope you enjoy Part 2 even more!
