Cady is still reeling from her one-and-done night of passion with a sexy guy she met at a bar—she’s still overwhelmed just thinking about it!—when she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with him again. It’s bad enough that Mick lied about who he was, but now Cady discovers he’s about to become her…what??!

“I technically can get a taxi myself,”
Cady said, shivering. “If I couldn’t do that, I’d really be
hopeless.”
“Of course,” Mick agreed. “I just
wanted to walk out with you.” Predictably, the night had grown
colder, and now the wind was biting. Mick boldly put his hands on
Cady’s upper arms and gave them a rub through her jacket. “Let’s
warm you up,” he said.
Appearing cautious, Cady asked, “After
I go, are you going to meet Quinn and your friends at that party?”
“No. Definitely not.”
“Not your scene?”
“Nope,” he told her truthfully.
“Yeah, actually I’m surprised your
friend, Quinn, wants to go,” Cady mentioned. “Those parties are
usually BU and BC people. Since he’s twenty-four…” Again she
shivered and Mick put his arm around her. She seemed momentarily
flustered. “I, um, guess I assumed he’d be over hanging out with
college students.”
“Quinn’s very immature,” Mick
said—also the truth. “Listen, Cady, there’s something I want
to say…”
Before he got to tell her that he wasn’t
really twenty-four and that he didn’t work in private security—that
it was a stupid line Quinn used and could they just start over?—he
got distracted by Cady reaching up and placing her hand on his chest.
She did so tentatively, and didn’t retract when Mick froze for a
second. His pulse sped up and his chest tightened as she curled the
fabric of his shirt into her fingers, silently inviting him closer.
The action sent a signal straight to his
cock, which was already stiffening in anticipation.
“This is probably a mistake,” she
whispered, obviously trying to talk herself out of what she wanted.
Mick let her talk—though he inched slightly closer, and she didn’t
back away. “It’s just…” she began, her soft voice drifting
off for a moment as the wind loudly tousled the trees.
Mick waited, not sure where she was going
with this. And definitely not expecting her to say:
“It’s just that I have no fun.”
After a careful pause, he said, “Are
you saying that you want
to have fun?”
“Yes.”
“With me?”
She dropped her eyes toward the sidewalk,
but clutched his shirt a little tighter. “Yes.”
He could see a shy grin tugging at the
corner of her mouth, so he slid a hand under her jaw to tilt her face
up. When their eyes met, Cady gazed at him for a moment, almost
fascinated, then murmured, “Let’s just kiss first and see how it
is.”
He might have been mildly amused by her
awkward seduction style—if only she didn’t have him totally
aroused instead. “Sure,” Mick agreed, stepping even closer and
lowering his head. Soon both hands were on his chest, gripping the
front of his shirt, as their mouths came together…
Q&A with C.J. Lake
What
makes Mick & Cady from The
Allnighter
such a great couple?
For
them it’s very basic: he’s generally laid back and she’s a bit
repressed. That might sound like a clash, but actually it’s
perfect, because Mick can get her to relax. To lighten up—and even
be uninhibited. They are physically attracted to each other from the
beginning, and Mick has a way of drawing out Cady’s hidden passion,
and disarming her with his confidence.
What
should readers know?
The
Allnighter is a continuing
story. You will definitely want to stay tuned to see how Mick and
Cady’s intense relationship evolves. What starts as a passionate
hook-up, turns into a tension-filled “platonic situation” as they
face their parents’ upcoming wedding and try to stay away from each
other...
What’s
next?
My
new book, Sky High,
was just released!
Sky
High
is Book 3 of my Attraction Series. It’s a standalone novel - an
upbeat, sexy story that features Jamie Bardo (a lovable secondary
character from Books 1 + 2), and his new neighbor, Sky Dirente, a
cynical girl who has had her ski career cut short. To say sparks fly
between them is an understatement! amzn.to/1FH4O3u
Next
up is Part 2 of The
Allnighter,
coming this summer!
