Summary:
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 TWO
“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.”
