Is this love or just a game?
Tori Rivera thinks Jamie McCade is rude, arrogant, and worst of all . . . the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on. His reputation as a player is almost as legendary as his surfing skills. No matter how her body heats up when he’s around, she’s determined not to be another meaningless hookup.
Jamie McCade always gets what he wants. The sickest wave. The hottest women. And Tori, with her long legs and smart mouth, is definitely the hottest one. He knows Tori wants him-hell, most women do-but she won’t admit it. After months of chasing and one unforgettable kiss, it’s time for Jamie to raise the stakes.
Jamie promises that soon Tori won’t just want him in her bed, she’ll be begging for it-and he might be right. Somehow he’s found the spot in her heart that makes her open up like never before. But with all she knows about his past, can she really trust what’s happening between them? Is Jamie playing for keeps or just playing to win?
This book can be read as a stand-alone.

EXCERPT
Tori froze a foot away, blinking at me. She didnโt speak. If she had a reason for coming in here, it looked like that reason just left her. She seemed lost.
โLegs,โ I probed, when she kept with the staring and not speaking routine.
โMm?โ
โWhat are you doinโ in here, babe?โ
I had no fucking idea what was going on, but unless Tori wanted to watch some chick grind all over me, she needed to get what she came for and step out.
She wet her lips. I watched her neck work with a swallow.
โYou showed me your dick,โ she stated.
I felt my mouth twitch. Fuck yeah. Breathing a laugh, I relaxed back onto the bench, arms spread behind me and hands gripping the black leather cushion. I tipped my head to the side. โSee that impression is stickinโ,โ I said. โWhatโs that got to do with this?โ
โYou showed me your dick after I flashed you. That was your move.โ
โYeah.โ I nodded. What the fuck was she getting at?
Tori smiled. Her sin-colored lips stretching slow. โThis is mine,โ she said, lifting her shoulders as if this shit she was declaring wasnโt a big deal, which it sure as fuck was.
This is hersโฆOh, fuck me.
Fuck. Me.
Tori moved closer. Whatever smirk I was wearing pulled from my mouth. That pressure built again, in my chest and lower. I shifted on the bench.
โLegs,โ I warned, my voice vibrating in my throat as I watched her walk toward me. โWhatโd I say about takinโ this shit places you can handle? Did you think this through?โ
I was willing to bet she didnโt. If she had and knew how this could play out, with her bent over and me buried deep, she wouldnโt be back here.
โShh.โ Tori stopped in front of my knees. โIf we talk, I wonโt go through with this,โ she admitted, sounding anxious. โAnd I doubt youโd be chattinโ up the girl who was supposed to be in here, so quit it. Just sit there. Shut up. And keep your hands to yourself.โ
โYou know what youโre doinโ?โ I asked, looking up at her. โโCause in this room Iโm allowed to touch, babe. Rules are out there.โ I tipped my chin at the door, keeping her gaze. โNot in here. In here, Iโm participatinโ. You donโt like that deal, you better quit now and think of another move, โcause the second you start takinโ shit off, Legs, Iโm on you.โ
โThen I guess I donโt need to worry,โ Tori shot back, speaking with confidence and smiling again. The fuck did that mean? My brow tightened. โSay again?โ
โI donโt need to worry โcause Iโm not taking anything off, meaning you wonโt be on me. Iโm just dancing.โ
I stared at her for a beat. Then a laugh rumbled in my chest as I thought about how fucked she was.
โWhat?โ she asked, tilting her head all cute. โThis is a really good move.โ
โKnow it is. Not laughing โcause of that.โ
โThen why are you laughing?โ She brought her hands to her hips and studied me, looking on the verge of an attitude. Her eyes narrowed. โIf you think I need to take my clothes off to win this bet, then you are mistaken, Jamie McCade. I know how you feel about me in this uniform. This is gonna kill you.โ
โLegs, hate to tell you this, but youโre wrong, babe. You gotta worry.โ
โAnd whyโs that?โ
I dropped my arms and sat forward, elbows resting on my thighs. โYou start dancinโ on me and Iโm touching you,โ I promised, watching her blink. โYou start dancinโ anywhere in this room and Iโm touching you. You donโt gotta strip, babe. I just threw that out there โcause thatโs where I thought this was headed. Telling me youโre makinโ a move and youโre makinโ it in a strip club, figured youโd be taking shit off, but honest to God, it donโt matter. Like I said before, rules are out there. Not in here. Only way Iโm keeping my hands to myself is if Iโm fuckinโ dead.โ
โThese are my rules,โ Tori countered, bending down to get closer. โAnd unless you want me to holler out for my new friend with the gold tooth who looks like he eats narcissistic assholes for breakfast, I suggest you follow them, Jamie.โ
I chuckled, knowing who she was talking about. Dude made sure I was clear on a few things before letting me back in here.
Something I wasnโt sharing with Legs. โAnd what are these rules, babe?โ I asked.
She straightened and snapped, โI already told you. Sit there and shut up.โ Tori put her hand on my shoulder and shoved, pushing me back until I was pressing against the bench again. Then keeping her grip there, she swung her knee up, braced it on the leather, and lowered herself onto my lap, lifting her other knee and boxing me in with it.
I pulled in breath through my nose and curled my hands into fists on the cushion. โAnd the touching?โ I asked, voice strained as I stared at the shape of her tits.
They grew closer as she leaned forward, her hands shifting to hold on behind me, and my gaze snapped up to meet hers when her face got an inch away.
โBeg for it,โ she whispered.
My eyes flickered wider. Hers brightened with impending victory.
No shit. Tori was gonna let me touch, but I had to call it. I had to let her win.
I had to fucking beg.
Jesus.
Whyโd she have to be so good at this shit?
I steadied my gaze, telling her as my head tilted back, โThink Iโll just enjoy the ride.โ
