Captive Lover by Patricia

(Westburg #1)
First Published 18th of July

Contemporary Romance
Author’s Note: It was published in 2011 but when I released
it in French as L'amant Captif, it went to number one in France last year on
Amazon.
Dylan Yates isn’t a bad
person but he’s fallen in with the wrong guy. Marcus Tucker is a big, bad and
beautiful biker who runs a huge criminal empire. Dylan hooks up with Marcus for
a night of all out hot sex and only realizes after it's too late that Marcus is
into young boys, kids in fact. Worse, Dylan backs out of their planned evening
together after meeting up with one of Marcus’s very young lovers. Fearful that
Dylan will expose him for what he is, Marcus embarks on a plan to make sure
Dylan doesn't expose Marcus' dark side. Marcus kidnaps Jared Yates, Dylan’s
nine-year-old brother and threatens to “break him in” if Dylan doesn’t do
exactly what Marcus wants.
Dylan’s assignment is to
kidnap and guard a man named Connor Black until Connor’s very wealthy family
can pay to get him back. What Marcus doesn’t suspect, however, is the
attraction Dylan and Connor feel for each other the instant they meet. While in
Dylan’s custody, Connor is at first afraid and then becomes angry and who
better to take out his rage upon than his kidnapper? What surprises Connor is
that Dylan, his big, tough kidnapper, refuses to fight back. Dylan is
powerfully attracted to Connor but won’t allow himself to become attached to
the man because he fears that he'll eventually be ordered to kill Connor if he
wants to get Jared back safe and sound.
Little by little Connor
realizes that Dylan is reluctant in his task to guard him and he begins to
trust Dylan. Even more powerful than trust, Connor finally realizes his own
deep attraction to the beautiful man. Is it just Stockholm Syndrome or is it
something more? As the two men are forced to live together in the cramped
surroundings of Marcus’s hideout, the walls between them crack and finally
fall. Dylan gives in to his longing and he and Connor become lovers. When
Connor finds out the truth of who’s behind the kidnapping and the hold Marcus
has over Dylan, he's determined they face the menace together. The men plan
their escape keeping in mind that not only must they get themselves out alive,
but they must see to it that Jared isn’t harmed in the process. It turns out
that trying to get away from a man like Marcus Tucker and his armed guards
isn’t an easy thing to do
Excerpt
“Can I help you with somethin'?" The older man drawled loudly.
Dylan's gaze shifted reluctantly from Connor's face to the glowering look on
the face next to him.
"Yes, but not from you sweet pea," Dylan said
nonchalantly, looking the older guy right in the eye in a direct challenge.
"I was just gonna ask this sweet thing if he'd like to dance." Dylan
forced himself to breathe through the dazzling smile he sent Connor as he
returned his gaze to the shorter man's face.
Connor batted his long lashes and smiled back, locking eyes with
Dylan. "I'm not much of a dancer," he said quietly while Dylan's
heart skipped another beat. "But I can make an exception for you, beautiful,"
he finished.
The feel of Connor's compact body against his own hardened Dylan
almost instantly. He'd never felt such instant and powerful attraction to
someone before. When Connor sighed and moved into Dylan's arms so sweetly,
Dylan nearly exploded with lust. Connor laid his head on Dylan's chest and
Dylan felt the smaller man's hands on his back. A fragrant light scent rose to
his nose. Dolce & Gabbana, fuck, his absolute favorite aftershave. Connor's
soft hair teased the bottom of Dylan's chin and without thinking, Dylan ran his
hands up Connor's back and pulled him in tight, resting his stubbled cheek on
the top of Connor's head. The warmth of his hair bled into his body.
"Dylan. Dylan Yates. Yours?" Dylan asked, leaning down to
say the words into Connor's ear.
Dylan groaned as Connor lifted his head from his chest and gazed
into Dylan's eyes.
