He stood there with his focus directly on her, trying to figure out what attracted him to the point where he wanted to strip her naked, right there in his kitchen
But not before he got to taste her again, to see if the flavor of her mouth had changed, and to see if she could still work her tongue as she had before.
His eyes slowly shifted lower to her chest, to the top she was wearing. He pulled in a choppy breath. He saw her nipples start to harden, right before his eyes. Hell, if just a look could do that to her, he wondered what would happen if he were to touch her, taste her.
He could feel his own eyes darkening with heat and knew the moment she saw it, as well. She continued to hold his gaze, then asked, “Is there something else?”
He couldn’t help the smile that touched his lips, a predatory one at best. She could ask the damnedest questions. This time he would give her an answer and he hoped she was ready for his response. “Yes, there is something else,” he said, walking toward her.

To the love of my life, Gerald Jackson, Sr.
To all the members of the Brenda Jackson Book Club.
This one is for you.
Apply your heart to instruction,
and your ears to words of knowledge.
—Proverbs 23:12
Dear Reader,
I love starting a new series!
I can recall when I wrote the first books of my Madaris, Westmoreland and Steele series. It felt wonderful introducing my readers to a family I had created in my mind and held in my heart. I am proud to now introduce to you six men whose ties that bind them forever were created by their fathers, best friends in college.
I envisioned six men, close friends, deciding their lives would be connected forever through their offspring and making their firstborn sons godbrothers to each other. What also would be unique was that their first names would be taken from the last six letters of the alphabet.
I would like to introduce you to Uriel Lassiter, Virgil Harrison, Winston Coltrane, Xavier Kane, York Ellis and Zion Blackstone. Xavier was introduced in my Steele series book four, Risky Pleasures, and Uriel was introduced in Steele series book six, Intimate Seduction. These six guys, for various reasons, are members of the Bachelors in Demand Club, and are determined to stay single for as long as they can. It will be fun to see how many will retain their membership when the right woman comes along.
Book one, Bachelor Untamed, is Uriel Lassiter’s story and his leading lady is someone from his past, Ellie Weston. And although Uriel wishes otherwise, she is also someone for his future.
I hope you enjoy reading Uriel and Ellie’s story.
Happy reading!
Brenda Jackson
