Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo Sequel to: Amazon / B&N / iBooks / Kobo — EXCERPT: Suddenly, I felt a cold sensation on my upper shoulder, just below my neck. I turned, and Ryan was right behind me. “What was that?” “I think I accidentally spilled frosting on you.

He was licking and sucking, getting every last bit as his hands traveled down my arms, clamping around my elbows to hold me still. “Accidentally, huh?” I rasped, my voice sounding al...
