Only One Man Will Do by Fiona McGier #ContemporaryRomance
This is book two in my Minnesota Romances. In the first book, For The Love Of His Life, Raul Roderick, a famous action movie star, gets threatened in a bar one night by a red-headed biker queen who says she rode in with her gang so she could get bragging rights for having sex with him. Unfortunately for her, he's already too drunk to even be able to walk without help. The police are ultimately called and she tells him she'll be back to collect what she wants from him, someday.
Raul wins the heart of the woman he loves, but he's still
afraid of his drug addiction, and of the biker queen's threat. Raul's good
friend Ivan was in the KGB back in the day.
Ivan offers to send one of his cousins, also ex-KGB, after the drug
dealers who keep plaguing the addiction-prone actor, as well as after the
fierce biker queen. Dmitri easily takes
care of the dealers, but he has no idea how to deal with the redhead who turns
out to be a respectable businesswoman by day, biker-queen by night. She makes him drool while he's watching her,
what with her red hair, her massive cleavage, and her long, sexy legs.
Blurb:
Tough-as-nails businesswoman on weekdays, Alexandra is a
biker queen on weekends. She's never been satisfied with just one man, enjoying
all of the men she hand-picked for
her gang. When a large Russian man
inserts himself into her life, she follows her instincts to some explosive sex.
Ex-KGB agent Dmitri has been wandering
across the USA for years. When the woman he's sent to deliver an ultimatum to
turns out to be his favorite fantasy come true, he decides to try to convince
her that he can be all the man she needs. But he's not willing to share her with her
gang, and she's not willing to give up other men. What starts as a fling gets serious quickly,
before it turns deadly. When two of her bikers are killed, Dmitri is the main
suspect. How far is he willing to go to
keep her to himself? And has she really
fallen in love for the first time ever...with a murderer?
Excerpt set-up--Alexandra
is an alpha female. I imagined Dmitri as
a beta male, but judge for yourself, in this steamy R-excerpt from when Dmitri
first walks uninvited into Alexandra's office while her secretary is out to
lunch..
The door was opened without anyone knocking, and a mountain of a man
walked through it without a word.
Alexandra's eyes narrowed as she watching him move casually over to the
chair on the opposite side of the desk from her, and sit down with the supreme
confidence of someone who knew he had been expected. "Who the fuck are you and what
are you doing in my office?"
The man studied her closely.
"Your voice is as low and sexy as I thought it would be, based on
how you look." He made this observation
casually, as if to himself.
Alexandra sat back and glared at him in silence to give herself time to
think. I don't feel threatened by
him, but he's definitely a force to be reckoned with. He's not that tall, but he's built so wide
that it feels crowded in the office with just the two of us in it. I'll bet there's solid muscle under his
clothes. She frowned with irritation
at her own reaction, as she felt her juices beginning to leak out of her to
soak her lacy black thong.
"I repeat, who the fuck are you?
I don't take any appointments at this time of day. I'm trying to catch up on paperwork. I don't have time to dick around with some
asshole who pushes his way into my office.
Should I call security and have you escorted out?"
His eyebrows rose and his lips turned up slightly. "You could try. That would give me a reason to come around to
your side of the desk." He looked
like he found that idea appealing.
Shit! He's got sexy dimples
when he smiles. His dark brown eyes are
so piercing, I feel like he's stripped me in his mind and he's got me bent over
the desk already! He must be putting out
some powerful pheromones to get me so hot so quickly. Either that, or it's been way too long since
I got laid.
He cleared his throat to get her attention. "We need to talk, Alexandra
Blackstone. I have a message for
you."
She leaned forward and rested her arms on the desk, steepling her
fingers together, tapping the pointer fingers against each other--a habit she
had learned from her dad, who used this gesture to show the speaker had his
full attention. "And what is that
message?"
"You need to stay away from the actor known as Raul Roderick. You're not to contact him or any of his
family, nor are you to attempt to collect on a threat you made to him that you
would find him someday and make him--ahem--make him have sex with you."
Alexandra leaned back and laughed in surprise. "I think you have me confused with
someone else. I don't know what you're
talking about."
He
leaned forward and Alexandra felt like the air was being pushed toward her,
like his tiniest movements were affecting her surroundings. "Oh, I think you do. You are Alexandra Blackstone, daughter of a
Thomas Blackstone who founded this marketing company. He had two daughters, no son. You are the elder, so you are the one he
groomed to take over his business when he retired, which he did last year. He still sits on the board when he's not
tanning in Florida."
She frowned. "All of which
is public record. None of which suggests
I know what the hell you're talking about."
He leaned back with a smile and crossed his legs, his right ankle
resting on his left thigh, giving her a good view of the large bulge in his
crotch area. She tried to ignore her
body's reaction as her inner muscles tensed in anticipation, her nipples beaded
against the lacy bra, the moisture continued to pour onto her thong, and her
breathing sped up as she imagined what was stretching the fabric. She looked up to focus on something--anything
else, and found herself staring at the wide fingers resting on the arms of the
chair. She blinked in surprise. Jesus, his cock must be wider than my
wrist! He looks like he knows what I'm
thinking. He's toying with me, damn him. And he's enjoying it.
"You are also Alex, the red-headed biker queen of a group of Harley
riders based out of the Mille Lacs area.
You spend your weekends up there during riding weather, staying at a
farmhouse owned by your family, surrounded by the gang you recruited
personally. You fuck all of the men,
keeping everyone in line by the sheer force of your personality." He
studied her intently.
Once again she felt naked under his gaze. She squirmed as she felt herself creating a
huge wet spot that soaked through her slip onto her skirt. Damn!
I'll have to get my suit dry-cleaned after this!
She attempted to bluff. "I
don't know what you're talking about.
Now since I have work to do, I suggest you leave now, mister--what was
your name?"
"There's no need for lying between us, Alexandra."
Her name rolled off his tongue to caress her in places she was trying to
ignore.
"We are two of a kind. Like
you, I wear many faces, many names. I
don't have a public identity for you to search out. I make no judgments. I'm speaking to you plainly because I won't
insult your intelligence by pretending or lying. I've been sent by my cousin to do a favor for
the actor I mentioned. He's getting
married and has given up his former drug-fueled lifestyle. He's making a clean break with his past in
order to build a future with his bride.
I promised my cousin I'd make sure that the drug dealers who used to
supply him knew to stay away from him. I
used--shall we say--some carefully applied persuasion. Once they get out of the hospital, I don't
think they'll try to contact him again.
You are the last name on my list.
Once I've convinced you to drop any claim you might feel you have on
him, I can tell my cousin I'm done."
Her irritation was joined by more than a hint of disappointment. He's not here to seduce me! He's here to give me an ultimatum! What balls! Who the fuck does he think he is? She felt her anger rising, the familiar
redness rising in her face, her skin heating up as she realized the man thought
he could order her around. She forgot
that she wasn't supposed to know what he was talking about.
"What? Did he send you after
me? Is that big movie star too much of a
pussy to take care of business himself?"
He shook his head. "No. But as I told you, my cousin is giving him
peace of mind as a wedding gift. Once
you agree not to cause him any further trouble, our business is done and I will
leave."
Alexandra took a few deep breaths to force her anger and her raging
hormones under her control. I've done
this before. Negotiating a win-win
situation is one of my specialties. She
studied him carefully, making sure that he noticed her staring at the bulge in
his pants, that appeared to twitch under her gaze. Her eyes rose up his torso as she imagined
the muscular barrel-shaped chest under his shirt, and the wide shoulders that
looked like he'd have no trouble holding her down. She looked up and into his eyes and she was
gratified and excited by the naked lust on his face.
"Okay, Russian--you are Russian aren't you? Your Slavic accent seems to get more
pronounced when you're--um--excited."
She nodded her head towards his groin to show she'd noticed his
erection. She licked her lips and smiled.
He nodded, as his nostrils flared and his eyes narrowed.
He knows we're in negotiations.
Her nerves thrummed with anticipation.
He cleared his throat. "My
name is Dmitri."
"Okay, Dmitri. You're
right. I am the woman you're
looking for. And you're also right about
us being two of a kind. You'll have to
forgive me for trying to play games with you, but I'm wearing a suit and
sitting in my office. I have to pretend
to be all kinds of things to win the endless power plays involved with being a
woman running a man's business."
He nodded again, his gaze so heated she felt about to burst into flames.
"So--if I agree to your terms--and I'm not saying I will. But if I agree, what do I get in return? I presume you aren't going to put me into the
hospital if I don't."
"Why not?"
She shook her head. "Because
I don't get the vibe off of you that you would hurt a woman."
"I have. I might again. But continue."
She tried not to show how his words sent a tremor of excitement that
made her already primed body want to explode.
"I ask again. What do I get
if I agree?"
His nostrils flared again as he inhaled deeply. "What do you want?"
You bastard! You can smell how
excited I am, can't you? She
squirmed in her seat, feeling the wet spot spreading on her clothing. "I wanted bragging rights for having
fucked the famous Raul Roderick. But I'm
willing to forget the whole celebrity-whore thing for a good, hard
dicking from a big, powerful Russian man."
A slow smile spread across his face.
Combined with the lust already there, it made him look like a predator
about to spring.
She tensed her body in anticipation.

Author Bio:
I sub in high schools during the school year. Otherwise I'm writing and blogging about my books--and reading. Not only do I write erotic romance, I love to read it too.
I often read while camping with my long-time HEA. Our four adult kids sometimes join us. Shinrin-yoku is forest bathing in Japanese, and as long as there's no snow on the ground, that's where I'll be and what I'll be doing--as often as possible.
I also enjoy sewing--mostly masks these days-- crocheting
afghans to keep my loved ones warm, and baking--cookies, muffins, and
especially pies. I'm known for my never-fail pie crust, so I put the recipe on
my website under the pies tab, along
with some of my family's favorites, that I featured in one of my books that had
a heroine who baked lots of pies.
