Page 138 of The Romance Library

I just wanted Theo.

Just three more weeks.

By then the library would be running smoothly. Then I could call him.

No. The library was opening on Friday, so maybe Saturday or Sunday would be much better. I’d be exhausted, but I didn’t care. Anything would be better than this constant heartache.

Jane came back in the room clutching a red A5 envelope.

‘Here you go.’ She handed it to me.

‘Thanks,’ I said. ‘Now time for you to head home!’

‘Okay, okay.’ She picked up her jacket and bag. ‘I’m going. See you tomorrow! Can’t wait.’

‘Me too! And thanks again for all your help and hard work.’

‘Pleasure.’

When Jane shut the door, I picked up the envelope and my phone, then crashed onto the bed.

I opened it quickly, then scanned the contents of the letter.

It was from a publisher who’d got in touch with a sample of a brand-new steamy romance audiobook that hadn’t been released yet called The Grovel that they thought I might be interested in.

I was intrigued and too exhausted to read a physical book right now, so this was perfect timing. Maybe listening to this would help me unwind and give me the energy I needed to go downstairs and get something to eat.

After picking up my phone, I scanned the QR code included on the letter, which took me to a website.

Luckily I didn’t have to enter any details and the page looked legit, which helped to calm the thought that just popped into my head that it could be a scam.

I pressed play.

‘Eavesdropping Productions presents The Grovel…’

I bolted up from the bed, my eyes like saucers.

That voice.

I recognised it instantly.

Smooth like velvet.

Deep and sexy.

‘Fucking you on the rocking chair, on the desk and in my bed was incredible, Angel,’ he growled, flicking his thumb over her sensitive bud. ‘But next time I’m not going to fuck you. I’m going to make love to you. I want to know about every fantasy you’ve ever had. I want to know what you like. How you love to get off. I want to give it to you so good that every sex scene you read in a book will be a disappointment and you’ll know that you’ll need to come to me because I’ll be the only man who can satisfy you.’

OMG.

Those words were almost identical to what Theo had said to me after he’d fucked me on the desk. But this time, he’d spoken about us making love.

Hearing him say those words in his deep, hypnotic, sexy audio-narrator-worthy voice almost made me come on the spot.

I was just about to replay the audio when a message popped up on the screen.

Eavesdropping Productions hopes you’ve enjoyed this sample.
