Page 12 of Angry Lion’s Naughty Little Neighbor (Company 417 Shifters #60)

You’d better believe I fell in love with Aaron while I wrote Angry Lion's Naughty Little Neighbor . That isn’t going to surprise any of you out there who’ve read my other Company 417 books.

At the end of all of them, I just go on and on about how much I love the shifter men I write about.

Well, maybe I do that but I can’t help but fall in love with every one of these hot shifters!

I always imagine I’m the lucky girl involved, and you better believe I imagined I was Kelsey even though I was a bit timid and afraid to be rebellious and crazy the way Kelsey was. If being out of control meant a man like Vance would show up to get me back on the right track, you can bet I’d do it!

Do you love these two together like I do? What do you like about the characters? Let’s face it. When it comes to shifters, I’m a hopeless romantic! How about you? Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed reading about Kelsey and her lion shifter man. These two are going to have a wonderful life.

If you enjoyed this story, then I think you’ll love the next tale of paranormal romance in the Company 417 Fireman Shifters series.

On vacation in the tropics, Ashley Harrison enjoyed the best holiday of her life.

She spent her days on the beach and her nights in the arms of a complete stranger, a man named Nigel Winters.

She met him her very first night and this strong, stern, powerful man captured her imagination and her time.

She gave him her virginity hours after meeting him and lay with him every single night for a week before she got on the plane to go home.

She flew home with a heart full of happiness, a mind filled with excitement and romance…

And something else.

A year and a half later, she runs into Nigel at her office.

They see each other, and right away they’re back in bed together!

Actually, they don’t even wait long enough to find a bed but get together in the office!

But now things are complicated. This isn’t vacation.

This is real life. Last time she left with a heart full of happiness, a mind filled with excitement and romance, and something else…

a baby in her belly. What’s going to happen when Nigel finds out about the secret she’s kept from him?

Here’s an exclusive sneak peek:

Ashley

It’s possible I’m just losing my mind because as I turn the corner, I catch the scent of a particular cologne.

It’s very weak but that scent is etched in my memory, engraved in a way that I can’t ever miss it.

The cologne is made in very small batches in a little town on the coast a little east of Marseille.

I know about this French cologne because of a man who wore it.

It’s very rare, and it’s a shocking thing to smell right now.

All at once, I’m really glad that I have a private office here because (and I’m not proud of this) I am very likely going to masturbate in very short order.

The man who wore that cologne took my virginity.

That’s not a good description. Sure, it’s true.

But it’s not the most significant thing, and I never even told him I was a virgin.

And, of course, he took my virginity once but slept with me nine more times in a week.

At least I think he did. I don’t know if it just counts as one time if we never get off the bed for two times in a row.

I didn’t have any experience at all before my week with him, and I haven’t been with anyone in the almost twenty months since that week.

Seven days. Sex ten times. Four blowjobs.

More orgasms than I could count. That’s the sum total of my sexual experience, and I can’t say that I’m in any way unhappy about it.

Well, I’m not unhappy about the seven days in a row of sex and romance.

I guess it’s fair to say I’m a little unhappy about the rest of my sex life consisting of my big wand vibrator and my hand.

But I don’t think there’s any way for me to really explain to you just how powerful an effect that cologne has on me.

I can only smell it very slightly. I guess someone wearing it was somewhere around here and then left.

I hate to say this but if that guy works at this building, he’s got a girl who’s not going to be hard for him to seduce.

Not hard at all.

There are something like fifty businesses here.

Like me mostly, I guess, a one-person operation.

This building is an executive suite property.

You know what that is? I found out about it in college.

An executive suite?provides businesses with furnished, ready-to-use offices.

Or office space. You can rent a desk here in an open floor plan with fifteen desks.

It costs only a hundred bucks a month with more if you have an internet connection.

You also have to pay the phone bill for your desk.

Anyway, that’s how it is. There are shared things like a break room, a coffee machine, a water cooler, and regular office things like a copy machine and a fax machine.

You also get a receptionist answering the phone.

You can also pay an hourly rate for clerical work and…

All right, you don’t care. The point is I have an office of my own with a desk and a conference table.

I write business plans for clients and charge between three and ten thousand dollars to write them.

So far, not one of the plans I’ve written has failed to secure financing for the company involved.

But who cares?

Who cares about anything other than getting to my office and getting to privacy?I have a very comfortable desk chair, and I’m going to very much enjoy reclining and on it and… well, you get the picture.

I hurry to the elevator and step inside. I’m on the fourth floor and I press the button but I swear it’s like there’s some sort of conspiracy. I smell the cologne here, too! A little stronger. The elevator stops and I just want the doors to open so I can rush to the office and fantasize about…

“Nigel!” I breathe out his name and stare in shock. He stands in front of the elevator.

The man standing there in front of me is, by some miracle that I can’t understand, the very same man that made my vacation a taste of Heaven. I feel my entire body flush as he stares at me in surprise.

“Ashley, what are you doing here?”

I stare at him and see that he’s just as wonderful as all my memories of him. Tall and lean with dark hair and soft brown eyes that melted me from the very first.

I stand there in shock until the elevator dings and the doors threaten to close again.

Then, I step out and stand close to Nigel.

He looks down at me, still very obviously in shock. “Ashley.” He says my name again, as if he’s trying to test whether he’s awake or dreaming.

But I don’t bother to answer him. I just grab his hand and pull him along behind me until we get to my office.

A small, vocal part of me is screaming not to be so stupid and to just say goodbye to him. A stronger, louder part of me feels very aroused and also feels like this is some kind of gift from the gods.The stronger and louder part has no trouble overcoming the small and vocal part.

I pull him into my office and shut the door behind us. I drop my stuff onto the floor just to the side of the door, and then I turn and face my Romeo again.

I feel a hard shiver pass through me, and then, I step up to him, get on tiptoe, and kiss him hard.

I feel his reaction and it drives me wild. His body seems to come to life and his hands come up to grab me and pull me even closer. His mouth moves from mine, and he whispers my name as he kisses my cheek.

“Ashley.”

But it doesn’t stay all g-rated romance. I mean, that was never the objective right now, and he’s on board with the objective, too. I had one goal from the moment I saw that it was Nigel standing in front of me.I guess it was just a modification of the goal when I smelled his cologne.
