Forbidden Men # 5

Let your hair down, Caroline, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

I know I've closed myself off in a major way in the past year, ever since “the incident” where I messed up my life completely. It's past time I try to live again or just give up completely. But this is quite possibly the craziest thing I've ever done. In a last ditch effort to invigorate myself, I'm standing outside Oren Tenning's bedroom, I just peeled off the sexiest pair of underwear I own, and my hand is already raised to knock. My brother would disown me for doing anything with his best friend, and he'd probably kill Oren. But if I play my cards right, no one will ever know about this. Not even Ten.

Maybe after tonight, I’ll finally get over this stupid, irrational crush I hate having on the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. Or maybe I’ll just end up falling for him even harder. Maybe I’ll discover there’s so much more to my crude, carefree hunk than meets the eye.

The entire notion was crazy. I would never in a million years actually go through such a thing.

An hour later, thousands of voices in my head shrieked. “For the love of God, Caroline. What’re you doing?”

“Shh,” I hissed at the annoying shits. “I’m doing this.”

I slipped inside the front door to Quinn, Oren, and Zoey’s apartment. If anyone caught me, I already had an excuse handy. I was here to see Zoey. To talk important girl stuff. Yeah. That sounded good. And I really would talk to her if I was caught...about the fact that I’d lost my ever-loving mind!

Pausing at the beginning of the hall, I took a moment to bolster my nerve. Oren’s bedroom was the first door on the right. Only ten feet away. Drawing in a deep breath, I started to step forward when an idea hit me. Scrambling, I reached under my skirt for the panties I’d raced home to change into, and I peeled them down my legs.

I know, I know. They were the nicest underwear I owned. Why was I taking them off before he could even see the goods? Well, probably because, if we stayed in the dark like we were supposed to, he’d never see them anyway. And tonight, I just wanted to be bold and promiscuous. If I was really going to do this, I was going to do it right.

Pantyless, I stopped in front of his door and lifted my palm, but instead of knocking, I set my fingers against the wood. He was on the other side of this door, waiting for me.

Okay, fine, waiting for some other girl. But if I knocked and went inside, it’d be me he took.

A thrill raced up my spine, and butterflies danced in my stomach.

I knocked


Five Facts about the Forbidden Men Series

1. The idea for the first book in the series came about thirty seconds after I read the blurb for Abbi Gline’s “Just For Now.” Loved the thought of a noble male prostitute, so I had to have one for myself!

2. I didn’t plan on making The Forbidden Men a series until I tossed Mason into Chapter Four of To Professor with Love.

3. There were no plans for a story for Ten until the very end of To Professor with Love when he met Caroline and the sparks instantly flew.

4.  Original names for the Forbidden Men came because I wanted them in alphabetical order: Mason, Noel, Oren, Pick, Quinn...but it ended up, their stories didn’t come in that order.  And since I’m adding more men (like Asher), my alphabetical scheme is all messed up!

5. My grand plan is to have nine books in the series before everything is said and done.
- Price of  a Kiss (Mason-Her POV)
-To Professor, with Love (Noel)
-Be My Hero (Pick)
-With Every Heartbeat (Quinn)
-A Perfect Ten (Ten/Oren)
-Worthless (Knox—he’s new!)
-Rhythm & Dudes (Asher—title will mostly likely change)
-Priceless (Brandt, Noel’s brother, and Sarah, Mason’s sister)
And then we’ll wrap the series up by revisiting book one with...
-The Price of Mason (Mason-His POV)
