Doughnut Darlin' (Plus Size Romance 4) Read Online Free PDF Page A

After her romance novel comment, he could imagine her sitting in this room writing it, surrounded by books.
    “What do you think?” he asked.
    The look of amazement on her face would have been answer enough, but he was tickled when he heard the excitement and pleasure in her voice.
    She walked from one wall to the next, running her hands over the bindings.  Her breath was soft and fluttery.  “It’s heaven on earth.  I could stay right here in this room forever.”
    “Darlin,’ havin’ you here is heaven.  Spend the night with me, Raven.”
    She pulled her gaze from the books and gave him a questioning look.
    “Are you that anxious to put a notch on your new bedpost?”
    He shoved his hands deep into the pockets of his jeans.  “What the hell’s that supposed to mean?”
    She answered him with another question. “Have you looked at yourself, Ronan Dark?”
    He was getting more confused and pissed by the minute.  “Like in a mirror?”
    “Yes.  You’re so hot and perfect.  You can have any woman you desire.  You can have one of those skinny, sexy biker chicks in your bed.  You can’t honestly want a chubby girl like me.”  Her voice came out in a whisper. 
    Her insecurities clenched his heart.  Before the night was over, she would understand she was the most beautiful woman in the world to him—the only one he desired.
    “There’s only one woman I want, and I don’t care for mirrors.”
    “Why not?”
    “They never reflect who I really am.”
    She fidgeted with the hem of her T-shirt.  He could sense her nervousness. 
    “Who are you really ?” she asked, timidly.
    He blew out a hard breath and knifed his hands through his thick, black hair.  She was giving him an opening, a chance to tell her the truth.  But he couldn’t.  Not yet.  Not until he had tasted her again, all of her.  “I’m a selfish, lyin’ asshole who happens to be a helluva good kisser.”
    “Tell me something I don’t know,” she said, smiling that thousand-watt smile he loved so much.
    He closed the space between them, effortlessly scooped her up as though she weighed nothing and carried her to the bed.
    She draped her arms loosely around his neck.  “I didn’t say I’d stay the night.”
    “No. But you will.”
    She giggled.  “You also said I’d beg you to take me for a bike ride, but I didn’t.”
    “This is different.  You’ll stay because leavin’ would be unbearable.” 
    Laying her gently across the bed, he stepped back and stripped naked.
     
    RAVEN LOST HER BREATH at the sight of the bad boy standing in front of her.  Ronan Dark made Michelangelo’s  David look like it was sculpted from Silly Putty. He was right.  It would definitely be unbearable for her to walk away from such a fine specimen.
    Her heart pounded painfully against her ribcage as she took in his massive erection.  Now was probably a good time to tell him she was innocent and sexually inexperienced.  But she couldn’t find the words while her eyes roamed over his perfectly-carved hairy chest and flat abs.  He was a real-life Adonis.  His skin was flawless, marked only by a single tattoo—a black panther on his right shoulder.  The wild animal was poised to pounce.  Ronan had the same expression on his face.  It was powerful and predatory, making her wet and horny.
    Maybe her confession could wait a little while.
    His voice was husky and gave her goosebumps.  “Slide over darlin.’  Let me lie down beside you.”
    She inched over just enough for him to lie on his side and face her.  “Shouldn’t I take my clothes off, too?” she asked shyly.
    “Do you want to?”
    “I—I don’t know.  Maybe.”
    He smiled sweetly.  “Why don’t I kiss you first, then you can decide.”
    Raven nodded.
    He rested a big hand on her hip.  Dipping his head, he took her mouth in a passionate kiss.  He parted her lips with the expertise of a man who had a way with women.
    Moaning, Raven put her hand in his hair and
