Just Between Us...

Just Between Us...
Tori Carrington

When Mallory, Layla, Reilly and Jack became best friends, the three women agreed that their tall, gorgeous male buddy was offlimits. Only, Mallory ended up toppling into bed with Jack that very night.And she hasn't been able to keep her eyes–or hands–off him since. But little does she realize that their blazing secret love affair is quickly burning out of control….Nothing can describe how good Jack feels with Mallory hot and wanting in his arms. But illicit sex just isn't cutting it for him anymore. Jack wants to bring their relationship out from under the covers. Mallory, however, likes keeping him–and everybody else–in the dark. Still, with the heat the two of them generate, something is bound to be exposed soon. And Jack can only hope it's Mallory….

“Damn, you’ve got a great butt.”

On all fours, Mallory gave Jack a “come hither” look over her shoulder. “And what do you want to do to it, Jack?”

His surprised gaze flicked to her face. “As in?”

She reached back and gave an experimental smack to her left cheek. “Do you want to spank it? After all, I’ve been a very naughty girl.”

And she had been naughty. Jack clearly wanted more out of their relationship, yet she had told him that as far as she was concerned their relationship was nothing more than sex. Even though she knew that wasn’t entirely true.

She heard his low, primal growl as he knelt on the bed behind her. “I don’t know…do you want to be spanked?” he rasped.

“I might be interested in a love tap or two.” Mallory wiggled her bottom and he grasped her hip, his fingers denting her flesh.

She felt a light, stinging smack to her right cheek and gasped.

“Hold still, then, naughty girl, and take your punishment,” he said wickedly. “But don’t worry. I promise I’ll kiss it all better….”

Dear Reader,

Sugar ’n spice and everything naughty has been the theme of the first two books in our KISS & TELL miniseries, and we see no reason to stop now! Not when the two remaining characters, Mallory Woodruff and Jack Daniels, have been indulging in some, um, under the covers activity without telling their friends…or anyone else!

In Just Between Us…documentary producer Mallory Woodruff figures she has the best of both worlds when she and newspaper columnist Jack Daniels become lovers. But when Jack suggests they let the world in on their little secret, Mallory balks, making him feel as if he’s being used simply for sex. What happens when he refuses to give her what she so desires? The battle of the sexes has never been so hot….

We hope you enjoy Mallory and Jack’s sassy adventure! We’d love to hear what you think. Write to us at P.O. Box 12271, Toledo, OH 43612 (we’ll respond with a signed bookplate, newsletter and bookmark) or visit us on the Web at www.toricarrington.com for fun drawings.

Here’s wishing you love, romance and happy reading.

We wholeheartedly dedicate this book

to our fellow dreamers:

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their

mind wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the

dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams

with open eyes, and make them come true.

—T. E. Lawrence

Hollywood Confidential—December 13, 2003

“…THE BIGGER THE BUDGET, the better the bang. Or so this reporter believed until I recently viewed a documentary by up-and-coming producer Mallory Woodruff on the U.S./Mexico border war. I, personally, look forward to more from this talented filmmaker. Just think what she could do with a real budget!”

Oh, I don’t know, Mallory Woodruff thought caustically as she downed her second cup of coffee. Pay my rent, maybe?
