More than Temptation by Taige Crenshaw Page A

close, making her gasp. He held her while he moved faster and she stiffened as need overcame her. Shaking, Bella moaned as her release slammed into her sending her over the edge into bliss. Morgan groaned then he too climaxed. His grip tightened and he shook under the power of his orgasm.
    “Bella,” he moaned.
    “Morgan.” She kissed along his lips then to the side of his face, nuzzling into the crook of his neck.
    Morgan slumped against her, pinning her to the wall. Bella rubbed her hands up and down his back. His harsh breaths vibrated against the side of her face.
    “Whoohoooo for adrenaline.” Bella chuckled.
    “Yep, you are a strange, strange woman, Bella Locke.” Morgan snorted. “Most women would be whispering sweet nothings.”
    “I know I am. But it’s what makes me who I am.” Bella leaned close to his ear. “How’s this for sweet nothings… Take me to bed and let’s get started on round two.”
    “Those are my kind of sweet nothings.” Morgan changed his hold and held her firmly.
    Bella tightened her legs around him and held on as he pivoted and did as she had bidden.

    Bella stared out of the one-way glass onto the sidewalk outside her office at Bella’s. People were shopping in the area of Duquesne Place that was open during the day. Since Bella’s wasn’t, she and her employees used the time before they opened to prep the club for the night ahead. Usually when she was working, she enjoyed the view from her office window that covered one wall. With her being able to see out and no one in, she could people-watch as she worked and make up stories about the people she saw outside. Yet today, the view wasn’t keeping her interest. Bella put her hand under her chin. If she were honest, lately her mind had tended to wander to Morgan and what they had done together or were planning. She smiled, recalling the night before. They had skydived during the day then they had gone back to her place and worked off some adrenaline. She laughed softly, remembering how fierce Morgan had been in his taking of her then after she’d again asked about bungee jumping. He’d said no, but she figured it was a soft maybe. Bella loved pushing his boundaries and getting him to go on adventures with her.
    “There’s that goofy smile that’s become really familiar,” Michelle said.
    Bella jerked in her chair, startled. “Mike, you almost gave me a heart attack.”
    “I always wondered about that saying.” Mike propped her hip against the edge of Bella’s desk. “Who came up with it and why would they even think of it?” Mike scrunched up her nose.
    “No idea and don’t care.” Bella tilted her head to the side. “Now why are you bothering me when I’m working?”
    “Is that what you’re calling it?” Michelle made a dreamy, lust-filled expression. “Staring off into space and thinking of Morgan.” She changed back to her normal expression. “I wish I had a job like that. But my dreamy man would not be Morgan, because he’s like a brother to me.”
    “Now you have me thinking what kind of man you would consider dreamy.” Bella pursed her lips. “I’ve never seen you date, or even show interest in someone.”
    “He has to have a big”—Michelle spread her hands—“you know.”
    “Mike. I am shocked you would let the size of a man’s package influence your attraction.” Bella grinned playfully.
    “See now, Miss Mind in the Gutter, I didn’t say anything about his dick.” Michelle gave a wicked grin. “I was talking about his intellect. He has to have a big”—she spread her hands again to show a wide area—“imagination, and know how to use it so he can keep me stimulated.”
    “Sexually. Many say that the best way to seduce a woman is through her mind.”
    “That’s true.” Michelle leaned towards her. “Although, a man having a good-sized package as well as a big mind would be a plus. Ohhh, and he has to know how to use both effectively.”
    “And with lots
