Keeping The Virgin (The Virgin Auctions, Book Four)


Paige North - 2017
     That’s what I am. My virginity auctioned off to ice-cold, gorgeous billionaire Cage Bryant. He’s twenty-seven with thick, unruly brown hair, a pair of blue eyes that seem to penetrate my soul, and a luscious mouth that doesn’t seem very used to smiling. He towers over me, filling out his designer suit with his broad shoulders and thick arms. But as handsome and sexy as Cage is, he’s just as cruelly cool, seemingly without normal human emotions. When he’s near me, I can’t breathe. My heart can’t start itself up again. My belly tightens and the spot between my legs begins to ache, then pound. I can’t take my gaze off his body—and those muscles. Bunched, beautiful, sleek muscles that I want to reach out and touch. His chest is hard, his abs ridged, and my lust is immediate, getting me wet as I think of what he’ll feel like against my naked skin. After our first night together, he’s already got me hooked. Hooked on the dirty things he does to me, things I never imagined in my wildest dreams. Things I love way more than I should. I know I have to be careful not to get too close, because Cage Bryant is a man with darkness inside him. I see it every time I look deeply in to his eyes, and it chills me to the bone. One moment he’s pulling me closer and closer to that blue flame, and the next he’s pushing me away, those dark demons once again visible in his penetrating gaze. I need to be very careful, because it feels like I’m falling. Falling for this twisted, mysterious man, head over heels into the darkness… But I can’t help it. I don’t know how to stop this compulsion to move closer, to push the boundaries, to take our twisted desires to new and uncharted territory. And it’s too late to turn back. I’ll risk everything just to get one more taste of him…
