Title: Holding Aces (The Kingdom #1)
Author: Nikki Groom
Release Date: May 29th 2014
Genre: Adult contemporary romance
They say that time heals all wounds.
But mine are set in so deeply, they’ve taken on a life of their
own, lurking in the shadows at every turn and haunting my thoughts.
The girl I once was has been replaced by a stranger.
I don’t even know who I am anymore.
I run.
And I hide.
Pretending to be someone I’m not…
Until I meet Denham King.
My burst of color in an otherwise grey world.
And for the first time in my life, I find myself running towards
someone instead of running away.
But fate can be cruel,
and I can’t escape my past.
Can I?

“Don’t
run,” he says before releasing my hands
slowly, and I instinctively move to tangle my fingers in his thick dark hair.
Both his hands move to my ass, squeezing and pulling me closer as he kisses me
with a fierce tenderness I can’t explain. I vaguely register him flicking the
lock on the door as he walks us backwards,
never breaking contact.
He turns me as we reach his desk, and I hear
paperwork flutter to the floor and glass smash as he sends everything on the
desk flying before lying me down on the cold, hard surface, his body pressed
tightly against mine. I have a desperate need to touch him, to taste him, to
feel every inch of this man. I slide my hands in the waistband of his trousers
and pull out his shirt. I let my hands roam freely over his torso, realizing
I’ve wanted to do this since the very first time I saw him at the elevator.
He
runs his hands down the length of my body and pushes them back up again,
skimming my thighs and taking my skirt with them, exposing my lace underwear. “Stunning,” he says before bringing his mouth to mine.
Tasting…
Feeling…
Testing…
Our
teeth crash together as the desire grows, and we both know it’s impossible to
stop this now. “Arianna,” he says breathlessly. His chest is heaving and there
are little beads of sweat gathering on his brow.
“Yes…” I can barely form the word. I haven’t answered to my
real name for a very long time, but it feels natural coming from him.
“Tell
me you want this...”
It’s
a command, but I don’t feel threatened. I want this as much as he does.I nod my
answer.
“Tell
me, Ari. I won’t touch you until you tell me.”
“Yes,
yes I want you...”
THIS OR THAT
Ice cream or Cake? Cake, chocolate cake, coffee cake, carrot cake, lemon drizzle
cake. ANY cake!!
Sports car or motorbike? Sports car. Bikes terrify me.
Whips or Handcuffs? Can I choose both? If I had to pick it would be…Handcuffs
Top or Bottom? Bottom
Snow or Sea? Sea. Snow is too cold.
Lean or Muscled men? Muscled. Think athletic, defined swimmer!
High Heels or Flats? Heels are so sexy, and pretty! But I spend most of my time
in flats. Ironically, I have way more sexy heels than I do flats!
Batman or Superman? Batman, so much more mysterious.
Boxers or Briefs? Boxers.
Tattoo’s or Piercings? Tattoos. Although I do love a piercing in the right place.
Money or Love? Easy, Love, love, love.
Drummers or Guitarists? Always the drummer. I have no idea why. I want to learn to
play drums! I’d be like Animal off the Muppets!
Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate
Sausage or eggs? Eggs, yuk! Has to be sausage.
Bath or Shower? Bath.
Spanx or Spanking? Oh spanking, for sure.
Hugs or Kisses? Tough one. I love kissing my husband (He’s a great
kisser) but you can hug anyone so I’m choosing hugs!
Cats or
Dogs? Dogs. I love my
dog.
Smart
Suit or ripped jeans?
Gah! Such a tough one. Are we talking ripped jeans and nothing else? No tee? No
shoes? That athletic, swimmers body with a little nipple piercing and a tattoo
across those broad shoulders…what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Jeans it is!

The
ding sounds on the elevator, bringing me back to reality from my daydream and
when the doors open, I instinctively step forward, my feet thinking before my
brain, and walk straight into the person exiting. My hands fly up to correct
myself, landing on a hard, wide, chest, and I look up to apologize.
Time
stops.
I
take in the features of the very cute guy in front of me. Wrong. Cute is
not the word I’d use to describe him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of
handsome and I lived in freakin’ LA. This guy is not botoxed or
surgically sculpted, but he is chiseled—all natural. There’s something...just
something...
His
hands grasp my shoulders to steady me, strong but gentle at the same time. He must
be about 6’2 as he stands a head above me, and is dressed in a slate gray suit,
with a crisp white shirt which is unbuttoned twice, giving me just a peek of
his flesh at my eye level. As my gaze slowly travels upwards, I notice his dark
hair is damp and falls gently across his forehead.
His
lips curl into a sexy little grin, and that simple movement breaks the
trance-like state I seem to have put myself in. I blink twice and shake my
head.
