Alpha Geek by Milly Taiden




Lioness shifter Scarlett Milan hates that she wants her boss more than her next breath. All she thinks about is how his black-rimmed glasses and bow tie are sexier on him than any other man. But since he’s human, she’s afraid she could break him, even kill him, during a night of wild sex.


Knox Daniels, wimpy bean counter, has lusted after Scarlett since the moment he met her. The fact she’s his best friend’s little sister has stopped all dirty thoughts. Well, almost. After he breaks up with his girlfriend, getting his hands on Scarlett is the first thing on his to-do list. Being murdered was not.


A vicious attack almost kills Knox, but science comes to the rescue. Now he’s no longer the weak human Scarlett was afraid to touch. Actually, no one knows what he is except possessive, aggressive, and demanding she be his. They’ll have to team up to keep him alive while figuring out if he’s a deranged killer or just the most powerful alpha ever known.


Reader's Note: Hang on to your panties, folks. This is going to be quick, dirty and will have your ereader asking for a cigarette. As with all my books, adults only, please. That means if you're a prude and don't like hot sex or dirty talk, step away from the book. All others, I love you freaky people.

Prologue to Displaced

In an age where authors are releasing books faster than I can change a load of laundry, I have to admit that I am one slow writer.  Other than a short story or novella here and there, I haven't actually released a full length novel in years.  Despite this, I still have readers following me, letting me know they are rereading and rereading yet again The Chosen One Trilogy while they wait for my next book.  I love my Sweetlings.  They're the most patient fans turned friends ever and I feel blessed and lucky that they've stuck around.  
This post is to say thanks.  I'll be posting a chapter a week for the next little while until I FINALLY finish  up with Displaced.
For those of you new here, Displaced is the first book in the trilogy set after The Chosen One Trilogy.  Haven't read that one yet? Go to any ebook store and pick up the first book, Crossover, for free. 
Have a good one, Sweetlings, and stay safe.  

Prologue

“Run, Paul!  Run!”
The five-year-old boy wiped tears from his eyes, his feet stuck in place with fear.  His mother turned and drove her shoulder into the strange man’s chest, the impact sending both of them sprawling to the ground.  Paul glanced around frantically, hoping someone was close enough to hear the commotion. 
His mother grunted as the man’s large fist closed around her throat before slamming her head backwards into the ground.
“Momma!”  He pulled a rock out of his pocket and put it in his slingshot.  Pulling back like his daddy had shown him, he let the projectile fly.
The man cried out in surprise and let go of his momma to clutch at his cheek, the blood flowing freely where the rock had struck him.
His momma scrambled to her feet and sprinted to him, her arms wrapping around him so she could hoist him up.  He clung to her as she ran, his eyes wide as the man recovered and started chasing after them.
“They’re running!”
Paul tried to reach for another rock, but couldn’t manage from this position.  He heard his father’s bellow of rage, his deep voice echoing through the woods.  His mother’s sobs rang in his ears.
“Hang on, Paul.”
“Alright, Momma.”  Fresh tears pooled in his eyes and he blinked them away.  The man was catching up. 
His mother tripped and the pair fell to the ground just as four more men appeared.  She pushed him behind her, putting herself between the strangers and her son.
“Where’s the rest of the crew?” inquired the man who had been fighting his momma.
“Dead.”
“How, in the name of the moons, did he manage to kill three of you?”
Paul cowered as they started to move slowly around him and his mother.
“These ones aren’t like the ones back home.  They fight.  The bastards are crazy!”
The man with the cut on his cheek peered at them curiously.  “Did you take care of him?”
One of the men nodded.  “Tied him to a post and slit his throat.”
“No!”  His momma’s form blurred and almost completely disappeared before reappearing as a beautiful silver wolf.  She snarled, her teeth bared, the hair on her back standing on end.
“Bloody hell.” 
She lunged at the man he’d hit with a rock, the human’s surprise giving her the advantage.  Her weight knocked him off his feet, her teeth already clamped onto his throat as he fell onto his back.  Her head shook and jerked, the man’s scream turning into a bloody gurgle.
“Momma!”  Paul tried to wiggle out of his newest captor’s grasp, his teeth clamping on the man’s hand as he tried to silence him.
The man swore and adjusted his hold on the boy before running off.  “Settle down, little man.  I don’t want to have to hurt you.”
A sharp yelp was followed by his mother screaming his name.
“Moooommmaaaaaa –” Paul’s scream was cut short by a hard slap to the face. Spots filled his vision.  He gasped for air as he was dropped unceremoniously on the ground.
“Quick.  Give him the drink.  Even the little ones here are crazy.”
Paul coughed and sputtered as his nose was pinched and a warm drink was forced into his mouth.
“Did he swallow any?”
“I don’t know.  Give it a minute.”
Paul’s eyes focused on the man that had slapped him.  He fought against the men holding him down, the sound of his heart beating resonating in his ears.  His chest tightened with fear.  They’d hurt his momma.  He wanted his momma.  His sobs intensified.  He tried to blink his tears away, but found that once his eyes were closed he couldn’t open them again.
“It’s working.  Give him another swallow so he doesn’t wake up for a while.”
“Are you sure he’s young enough?”
“He didn’t shift, I’m sure of it.”
“You know they need the little ones before they learn to shift.’
“I’m not daft.  Of course I know that.”

The men’s voices started to fade and Paul yawned.  His last thought before he felt himself be lifted from the ground was of his momma.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the first in a sparkling new series about America’s favorite royal—the First Daughter.

 

Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.

Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.

When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.

EXCERPT:

The hand on the back of my neck tilted my head so he could kiss me better and I melted against him. I’d waited for this moment most of my life and I sure as hell wasn’t disappointed.

The kiss wasn’t rushed, wasn’t abrupt. It was slow, lingering brushes of lips, as our breaths slid over each other. It was an intense, raw moment as we tested unknown waters and what we found only increased our determination. When his tongue swiped across my bottom lip in a request for entrance I opened on a sigh. His free hand caressed my hip before sliding around to the small of my back, tucking me against him.

The feel of his hard body pressed against me made my head spin. Every delectable inch of hi was hard in just the right way. As his mouth danced over mine, fire ran through my veins. Everywhere that he touched me came alive and I wrapped my arms around his neck, hungry to feel more of him pressed to me. This was what I’d been looking for all these years. I felt alive and appreciated with each stroke of his tongue and touch of his hands.

His arm tightened around my waist and my feet left the ground. I gasped as he sat me on the unfinished kitchen island. Dark brown eyes drilled into mine as his hands slid down to cup my ass before gently spreading my legs so that he could fit between them. He pressed against my center and I couldn’t help but groan as he pulled me tight. Wrapping my legs around his hips I pushed even closer, trying to relieve the building ache.

He groaned into my mouth and I took the moment to nip his bottom lip. I’d wanted to do that forever; to feel it plump between my teeth. One of his hands squeezed my ass tighter and he grinded his erection into me, causing my head to fall backward on a gasp of pleasure. Each move against me made me gasp louder, and my eyes fell shut. With one hand he pulled my hair free from the rubber band before tangling his fingers in it.

“God, you taste good.” His voice was raw, harsh, and it sent shivers down my spine. He ran his nose along the column of my throat before nipping gently below my ear. “Should have done this forever ago.”
