Inescapable (18 page)
It was a risk. Perhaps they wanted her to choose one or the other, but she couldn’t do that.
Adrian’s smile grew.
Seth’s eyes were filled with hope, but his eyebrows were still drawn together. “Thing is, I want to see you again, real bad. But I can’t be there all the time for you like Adrian can, not in my line of work. You’d have to say you’d accept that, up front.” She could see how hard this was for him, and as she considered her response she drew his hand to her lips, kissing it gently. “I understand that.” They closed in, both of them, enfolding her. She shut her eyes, savouring that feeling of being surrounded by them, of being loved by them both, wanting them both.
“You’re sure?” Seth whispered against her ear, as he kissed her cheek.
The arrogant policeman who needed to be reassured.
Adrian squeezed her bottom, making her smile.
The sensitive accountant, who didn’t need to ask.
Deep in her heart, she’d always known that this was truly inescapable. She nodded at them both, her emotions soaring. “I’m sure, very sure.”
About the Author
I’m British by birth, but because of my parent’s nomadic tendencies I grew up travelling the globe—an only child with a serious book habit. I dreamt of being a writer since the age of 12 and finally began writing seriously in the late 1990s. By that time I’d got myself a BA in Art History, a Masters in Literature and the Visual Arts, and I’d worked in all manner of diverse careers—but the stories in my head simply had to be written.
My first erotic short story was published by Virgin publishing’s Black Lace imprint in
‘97 and things really took off from there. Every spare moment was spent on the stories that bubbled away in my imagination. I’ve now had work published in over forty anthologies, including Best Women’s Erotica, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica and the Black Lace Wicked Words series. It was such a thrill for me to find that readers enjoyed my stories. I started working on longer projects around 2003, and since then I’ve had work published by US publishers Harlequin Spice, Red Sage, Penguin Heat, and the Juno Books fantasy line. I’m very happy to be part of the team at Total-e-Bound.
Nowadays I live in the north of England—close to the beautiful, windswept landscape of the Yorkshire moors—with my real life hero, Mark. Mark supports my work through all its ups and downs, and somehow manages to keep me sane and grounded when fiction threatens to take over.
