Synopsis:
She hates him, yet she can’t get him out of her mind.
Female Bantamweight fighter, Gabriella Reynolds, has a bad habit of falling for forbidden fighters. Enter Paxton Emerson. He’s tall, tattooed, and the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Everyone wants a piece of him, and he only has eyes for her. Through no choice of her own, she’s fallen in his debt and he’s now demanding payment. Too bad it doesn’t involve currency. Gabby’s decision to fulfill her promise to him ultimately brings out her true feelings, but also spurs the unwanted attention of another.
Rage’s fixation on his newest obsession reaches dangerous levels. Unfortunately, Paxton Emerson has become a roadblock to his end goal and needs to be removed from the equation—by any means necessary.
Gabby will do anything to save Pax, but what happens when she’s the one who needs saving?
Paxton's Promise
by L.P. Dover
“So we meet again,” he
said simply. For a moment, his sea green eyes flustered me like they did every
time I saw him. This time, I couldn’t let that happen.
Throwing open the door, I rolled my
eyes and ventured back into the living room. He was going to come in anyway,
there was no reason to stop him. “It appears so,” I grumbled. “I was wishing
you’d forget about me. I guess the hundred pennies I threw in that well didn’t
work.”
The door shut and I could hear him
chuckle. “Sorry, love. No wish is going to get you out of our agreement. I gave
you a week of freedom, but now your time’s up. You’re not thinking of backing
out are you?” Instead of sitting beside me on the couch, he sat in the chair
across from me, his gaze boring straight into mine.
“No. I made a promise
and I’m going to keep it. I always keep my promises.”
“And the same goes for me,” he
murmured, voice smooth and deep. “Now, how ‘bout we get down to business?” My
heart sped up at the thought and a small smirk splayed across his lips.
“Fine,” I answered, clearing my
throat. “I’m sure it’s nothing I can’t handle.”
The deep chuckle in his chest
rumbled all the way down to my clit. “Oh, we’ll see about that, sunshine.
First, I need to know. What’s the status with you and the douchebag baseball
player?”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “I
don’t think that’s any of your business.”
“It is now, considering for the next
month you’re going to be with me and me only. You’re going to have to get rid
of him.”
My eyes went wide. “Are you
serious? What am I supposed to tell him?”
Nonchalantly, he shrugged. “I don’t
give a shit what you tell him, as long as he knows to stay away from you. If he
so much as causes a problem, I’m going to extend the month.”
“Don’t you think this is a bit
extreme? Wouldn’t a week suffice?”
His expression grew serious. “You
obviously have no idea how far out I put my neck on the line for you. I think a
month is being very generous.”
