“That should never have happened,” Jason said.
Megan nodded, trying like hell to grasp the situation. What was she thinking? She loved Dari. Missed him. Lived for his texts and phone calls. So what, then, was she doing practically devouring Jason? It didn’t make any sense. And yet it made perfect sense.
“Look, what just happened doesn’t have anything to do with us. It’s about physical need.”
She bit her bottom lip, trying but failing to quiet the pool of desire in her lower stomach. “But the kiss…”
“The kiss was too intimate,” he said.
She released a breath. “Oh, boy, you’re not lying there.”
The side of his mouth inched up in a smile. “So let’s not kiss.”
“Good idea…” She relaxed and started to walk away.
Jason caught her arm, his grip soft but insistent.
“Let’s just sleep together…”
Dear Reader,
Sexual need is a purely physical condition easily remedied without emotional attachment…right? Going without can lead to heightened stress levels and impact job performance. So what’s a simple sack session between friends? Not just friends, but fellow ex-marines involved in an important case on which the success of their newly formed company, Lazarus Security, rides?
In Reckless Pleasures, we put this theory to the test. Of course, a Tori Carrington book wouldn’t be complete unless we further complicated the issue: What if Megan McGowan was already involved with a third marine, Darius Folsom, currently posted overseas? And if the other participant, Jeremy Savage, was Darius’s best friend? And what if it just so happens Darius returns unexpectedly right after the dirty deed is done?
We hope Darius and Megan and Jason’s sizzling story keeps you riveted long after you’ve reached the end…and moved onto books two and three— Wicked Pleasures and Undeniable Pleasures—in our Pleasure Seekers miniseries out in July and August.

Eighteen months…
MEGAN MCGOWAN LAZILY rubbed her calf against Darius’s leg and curved her body close against his, finding it impossible to swallow the amount of time he’d be away.
A year and a half…
Seventy-five weeks…
Five hundred and sixty-three days…
A long, long time until she’d be able to feel his skin against hers again… His breath teasing her ear… His thick, hard length stroking her wet softness… Filling her… Making her whole…
