We are thrilled to bring you the Release Day Launch for Lauren Blakely's AFTER THIS NIGHT! AFTER THIS NIGHT is the second full-length novel from her first Erotic Romance Series, The Seductive Nights Series!
About AFTER THIS NIGHT:
This is the conclusion of Julia and Clay's story that began in the New York Times Bestseller Night After Night.
"Why do you like me tied up sometimes?"
"Because the way I feel for you is so out of control that this is one way for me to feel in control again."
Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets.
Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can't get Julia Bell out of his
mind. He's so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can't
focus on work or business. Only her. And she's pissing him off with her
hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she's trying to stay one
step ahead of the trouble that's been chasing her for months now, thanks
to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. If only she can get out
of this mess, then maybe she can invite the man who ignites her back in
her life, so she can have him-heart, mind and body.
He won't take less than all of her, and the full truth too. When he runs
into her again at her sister's wedding, they have a second chance but
she'll have to let him all the way in. And they'll learn just how much
more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether
love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new
future, after this night...
Please note: This book is intended for 18+ due to dirty talk, light bondage, and lots of sexy scenes.
AFTER THIS NIGHT EXCERPT:
“I wish I were there wearing your clothes right now.”
He laughed. “That’s what you want to be doing? Because I’d like to be
fucking you if you were here.”
“Well, that too. But then I’d put on your shirt.”
“You like that, don’t you?”
“I know you do too,” she said.
“I do. Seeing you in my shirt and your heels is my kryptonite.”
“Oh, is that it? That’s your kryptonite?”
“Or maybe it’s just that you are,” he whispered, admitting more than he
wanted to.
“I think the same could be said here.”
There was a pause, and though they were three thousand miles apart, the
silence was heady. He was in a drugged-out state tonight. This woman was
his pill, and closeness with her was what he craved most even as he
feared she would destroy his heart. Smash it to a million tiny pieces
and eat it for lunch. But he had a built-in barrier in distance, and
with no trips to San Francisco on his immediate calendar he saw nothing
wrong with this temporary moment of relief from the pressure inside of
him from wanting her. They couldn’t be together in any meaningful way,
and he couldn’t get hurt if he didn’t actually see her. Right? Right, he
answered for himself.
“What are we doing, Julia?” he asked, and he was sure she could hear the
longing in his tone, but he didn’t care. There was no need to hide it
after they’d just broken down and pleasured themselves together.
“I wish I knew,” she said, her voice wistful and full of yearning. “I
really wish I knew.”
He heaved a sigh, trying to sort out his thoughts, but his brain was a
mixed-up mess and he didn’t know how to untangle all the threads. Or if
he wanted to remain tangled up with her instead.
“What are you going to do when we hang up?” he asked, changing
direction.
“Read a book.”
“What are you reading these days?”
“A crazy story about a guy who treks across Antarctica.”
“That does sound crazy.”
“Yeah. He’s kind of hallucinating and talking to penguins right now,”
she said with a small laugh.
“Can you blame him? I have to imagine if you’re stuck in the polar ice
cap that talking to penguins might be a rare source of comfort.”
“As long as he doesn’t eat the penguins I’ll keep reading it.”
“Here’s to no penguin meals in the books we read.”
“What will you do?”
“I suspect I will fall fast asleep and dream of a beautiful redhead on
the other side of the country.”
“She would like that dream very much,” she said in a sweet voice, the
kind that worked its way beneath all the hard edges in him, and settled
deep in his heart. “Will I talk to you again soon?”
He took a fueling breath, and put his armor back on, steeling himself.
“I don’t know the answer to that.”
Other Retailers Coming Soon!
