Title: Riske and Revenge
Author: Natalie E. Wrye
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 17, 2017
I knew hate. Had known it since I was seventeen. For me, it was love turned on its head, a product of hurt and fear—twisted, tied up…and placed on the sculpted shoulders of Ethan Riske.
***
Dayton, Tennessee.
Home to the best cow-tipping in the world, the biggest hot dogs, and the lousiest sex.
Or so I'd heard...
They were right about the first two. Ethan Riske proved them wrong about the third and at seventeen, he and I spent a summer under the stars, squeezing our way out of trouble, sweating and panting among the haystacks.
Until he left.
Nine years later, when a huge publishing house tries to buy my small press, I storm into the office of the CEO to find him.
Same cocky grin. Different name.
And suddenly all I can think about is exacting revenge on Ethan Riske for breaking his contract...and my heart.
But there's someone who wants revenge even more than I do. As I begin to fall for the new Ethan, will the sins of the old one come back to haunt us?

“I hope you taste as good
as you smell.”
The sound drifted through
the air. A slow, sensuous melody floated with it, and as both made their way
through the room, the beat of the song and the quiet statement I just heard
rattled the bourbon in my hand, making the ice cubes shake.
Or maybe I was the one
shaking.
I couldn’t help it.
Griff was poking a hole in
my ribs with his elbow, and as the lips that had just whispered in my ear
withdrew, I could see the look on my “best man’s” face. He was essentially
salivating, his tongue practically swinging as he took in the vision of the
woman who was speaking in my ear… and laying a seductive path in my open lap.
She stood, her long legs
stretching, her bare torso twisting as she rolled the shape of an “S” in the
air with her body, swaying seductively to the music. She was toned… that was
obvious. A tight package with tits too big to be real, the buxom blonde in
front of me was the object of every man’s wet-dream, star of every
cock-swinger’s fantasy…
Except mine.
But she was doing her best.
Clad in a piece of cloth that barely covered her clearly cleanly-waxed
pussy, she ground her pretty ass two inches from my face while every other man
in the room fought the urge to put their fingers all over her. My best friend,
included. He nudged my side for the ninetieth time.
“Fuck me, man,” he slurred.
“If she was doing that to me, I’d be two seconds from putting my finger in her
ass.” He smirked widely and wildly.
“Good thing you aren’t me,”
I shot back quietly, leaning over to look into his face. “That’d be a felony,
you crazy ass.” I finally smiled. “And the last time I checked you didn’t fuck
strippers because ‘and I quote… ‘Who
knows how many other items have been in those goddamned holes?'"
I threw Griff’s own words
back at him with a silent grin.
“Doesn’t matter,” he
declared, staring at the stripper in front of me for the thousandth time. “For
her?” He swallowed another mouthful of scotch. “I’d make an exception.”
I glared at the beautiful
blonde again. Because Griff was right. The exotic dancer… She might have been
one of the best looking I’d ever seen. Maybe the best. She was
tall, long-legged. Gorgeous… in the porn star sense, of course, with a wide,
luscious mouth made for licking and sucking in only the most erotic of ways.
She licked her lips at me
as if she wanted to make good on the promise she’d just whispered, and I had no
doubt when she looked at me, her brown doe-like eyes wide, that—if she could,
she would devour me until nothing was left. Until she drained every drop.
Unfortunately, for her, I
wasn’t interested.
She tried to drag me to my feet,
her tiny fingers wrapping around my own, pulling as she walked backwards in the
direction of the edge of the room. The overhead maroon lights illuminating the
space in our black-curtain closed boudoir made her look as naughty as every
word dripping from her blood-red mouth, and Bambi the Bimbo was putting on her
best pout to entice me into joining her towards whatever dirty fun lay in the
dark room beyond this one.
All of the men—friend and
foe—whooped as I slowly dragged myself to my feet, stumbling and fumbling over
the discarded decorations that littered the floor. Streamers and
“Congratulations” ribbons ran the length of the room, taking up space between
the cloth-covered tables, and I staggered past them, barely holding onto my
Bourbon as I followed stolidly behind the too-excited dancer who nearly bounced
on her platform-covered toes.
With the push of another
curtain, we fell into another room, and I let my body flounce on the
dark-colored couches beyond it, slumping into the padded cushions. I took a
healthy swig of my drink and sank my fingers into the seat beneath, wondering
how many stains these comfortable sofas had really seen.
The drunker I got, the more
it didn’t matter. Ignorance truly was bliss.
And so was the sensation
making its way down my crotch—a gentle rubbing that circled the length of my
cock through the fabric of my suit pants. From the tip to the very base. I
groaned, closing my eyes as I saw a vision in my mind. A vision too good to be
true.
A vision over ten years
old.
Waves of dark hair fell to
a waist too tiny to be anything but touched. Shiny and soft, the beautiful
brown mane swept across my chest, against my shirt, as two eyes, a
crystal-clear blue, peeked from beneath the strands, as round and as large as
saucers. In my mind, they met mine, saying things that couldn’t be vocalized,
voicing words that need not be said.
They seduced in the most
innocent of ways, waylaying me, pulling at a possessiveness in me I didn’t know
existed. The blue eyes smiled. The smile beneath them was even better—wicked,
as it dipped to my abdomen and pressed there, making me ache, causing my cock
to strain against the inconvenient zipper located there.
How many times had I
imagined those lips doing exactly that? That tongue licking out beneath those
straight white teeth to lap at my skin, the edge of her mouth nipping at the
most sensitive parts of me? It was torture—letting her tease me, taking me to
the brink and back again as she swept that sheet of auburn locks over my body
as she bent to her knees. I sucked in a breath soaked in desire as I waited for
her to place her mouth where it mattered most.
And then it stopped. The
teasing. She stopped.
And before I knew it, she
was pulling—no, ripping—at my pants. The top button popped, and suddenly my
cock was between her hands, her lips. She sank her mouth around it with a sigh,
sucking with delight. The sexiest slurp ever made to man escaped from between
her teeth, and I nearly lost it, grinding my own teeth as I gripped the back of
her head, my eyelids squeezing tight enough to ache.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck…” I
muttered. Over and over and over again.
It was fucking amazing.
Something so simple—someone so simple, sweet and secretly naughty
could bring a stubborn fucker like me—CEO and all—to his Giorgio Armani-covered
knees.
I came… with my cock in her
mouth and her name on my mind. I leaned back even further, letting my head fall
into the cushions.
“Fuck, Kat…” I mumbled,
feeling way too fucked up to move, the liquor coursing through my veins as I
came down from my high, my fingers reaching out to touch her once more.
But she backed away.
“Kat?” she said, rising to
her feet. “Who the fuck is Kat?”
I opened my eyes, staring
at the figure fumbling around in front of me. It was the blonde vixen—the
stripper. Standing on shaky legs, she wobbled between my legs, locking me with
a stare, her eyes hard and unblinking. She placed her hands on her tiny hips.
“Who the hell is Kat?”
As if she was outraged. As
if she had any right to question whatever the fuck I was doing anyway. I
ignored her with a shrug, stowing my dick back in my pants with a loud zip! I
finished my drink and sat it down.
“Ohhhh… I get it,” the
blonde blower hissed. “She must be your fiancé. Well… I guarantee you that
she’s never made you come like that. That was epic, baby,” she sighed, trying
to straddle me. Her pussy was peeking completely out of her barely-there
panties this time, and she tried to rub it across me, sliding her pink slit
across the front of my pants with a slow grind.
I almost pushed her off. I
stood.
“There is no fiance,” I
rumbled.
“But I thought…”
“My friends,” I
interrupted, “thought it’d be funny to celebrate my new position. They said it
was fitting… seeing as how I’m now married to my job. This isn’t a real bachelor
party. And that wasn’t a real blow-job…”
She raised an eyebrow.
“Certainly felt real to me.”
I pulled out my wallet,
taking out a couple hundred dollar bills and putting them in the palm of her
hand. I folded her fingers around them, looking into her eyes.
“Can’t be real… Not when
you’re thinking about someone else the entire time.”
I turned just as the
fair-haired, breathing blow-up doll gaped. I pulled the black curtain aside,
exiting, attempting to avoid the curious gaze of every onlooking employee that
came to the party to usher me into my new executive role.
My smile was weak, as I
tried to shake off what just happened to me in the other room… and who I was
imagining it happening with. Somehow, it was the brunette in my head, and not
the blonde on my lap, that felt as if she were still on my skin.
I was in so much fucking
trouble.
A fan of the beautifully polarizing anti-hero, she crafts sexy stories about hard-bodied, complex men and the strong-willed women who crave them.
