The Bad Boy Calls Me Kitten
HessianKills
"Dude, you just got freaking stabbed! You're letting out more blood than a girl on her period! You are not going to be fine! I have to call the police. No wait, I have to call an ambulance! Oh my God, why didn't I think of that before? Stupid, Genevi-""Shut the fuck up!" he yelled, turning away. I wrung my hands together in panic, trying to calm myself down. "I can take care of this, kitten. Leave me alone. It's just a small wound. Not like I haven't been stabbed before." he muttered the last part."What?!""Leave." he growled. I stared at him, unable to close my mouth. I had never seen someone get stabbed before. Heck, I had never seen someone get into a fight before. Ever. The only violence I had experienced was in movies. It was unfortunate for me that I found out how I would react in a danger situation like this. And by react, I mean to completely flip the hell out.*LANGUAGE WARNING*
Call My Name
Barbara Delinsky - 1982
Daran Patterson is passionately dedicated to children’s causes—so dedicated, in fact, that she’s taking her campaign directly to Senator Drew Charles. He may be one of Connecticut’s most popular and powerful politicians, but she is prepared to put up a fight. Unfortunately, she’s not prepared for how handsome and charismatic he is—how he can wrap a woman around his finger with a look and a smile. The Senator is impressed with the doctor as well. He’s never met an advocate so engagingly persuasive—or irresistibly sexy. So far, their encounters have been civil. But when their mutual attraction leads to one molten-hot kiss, the political becomes the personal…and there’s no turning back. Previously published as Whispered Promise by Bonnie Drake
