Why did I wait so long to read this?! It truly defines the enemies to lovers trope, as well if not better than any other book I've come across. Watching Ilya and Shane's relationship develop as they age shows their character growth, th ...more "

“Duchess, tug the top of that dress down just a little. Just enough that I can sit here and imagine sucking your nipples.
Then there was the one accompanied by his hand squeezing the front of his jeans. Sit on my lap, baby. I just need your weight right here.
Or the one that had nearly melted her into the seat. If I slipped my hand under your dress right now, no one would know but us. Think you could stay quiet long enough to come?”
― Tessa Bailey, Asking for Trouble
