Baiting the Maid of Honor by Tessa Bailey

So you finally manage to slip away from the crowd you've been handling and will continue to handle for the next six days, and when you finally let your hair down (literally) and sigh and just want to relax for a few minutes before going back in again, this dude just comes out of the shadows and starts hitting on you with no subtlety whatsoever.
“I don’t do hair, pixie,” he rasped against her ear. “Unless you’d like it pulled.”
THAT escalated quickly. For a first meeting Reed Lawson sure did come on strong, and he was unapologetic for it.
Now ladies I'm sure in real life this would have gone a different way; a way that include running the hell away screaming and/or calling 911.
ANYWAY.
REED LAWSON.
He reminds me of another fav Tessa alpha male of mine, Derek Tyler, but he gives out darker vibes though. I like how he notices everything about Julie and calls it out. And I kinda enjoy watching him pursue her; dude's relentless.
"I’m going to let you get away with the lie tonight, pixie, since I made you come hard enough that I’ll be able to relax. For now. But I need to make one more thing crystal clear before you leave." He traced her ear with his tongue. "If you need servicing while we’re stuck in this fancy-ass hotel for a week, I’m going to be the one to do it. No one else. Not Golden Boy. Not even your right hand." He let go of her arm and she swayed, frowning when he laughed under his breath. "And when you slip between your sheets tonight, think about this. I will service you so hard you’ll be booking another week here just to recover."
WELL THEN.
(I obviously enjoyed this too much)
(I feel obliged to add that I love Julie too--she's a darling--but Reed stole the show for me)
(Damn it, Tessa Bailey)
