Stealing His Heart by Ella Jade

Will
the bad-boy pitcher strike out when it comes to love?
Shy music teacher Sophia Ballis has sworn off men. After a bad experience with a college jock she decided it was better to be alone than to get burned again. She focused on her education and now her new job at a local private school.
Professional baseball
pitcher Paxton Hughes is a player both on and off the field. He's signed to the
Kingston Crushers to bring home the coveted championship title. Nothing can get
in his way. Serious relationships don't mix with a life on the road and he
never loses focus on the game. One-night stands are his specialty for a reason.
While out jogging one
spring morning, the two collide, setting their course in motion. Pax is
immediately drawn to the unassuming beauty. Sophia is aware of his reputation
and decides one night of meaningless sex with the attractive Texas charmer is
just what she needs to get over her self-imposed dry spell. Pax has more than a
one-night stand on his mind, but will his bad-boy persona and demanding
schedule ruin any chances of a happily ever after?

"Can I walk you
to your car?" Pax asked.
"Thank you."
Sophia got up from the table and took his hand. "I'm parked right out
front."
He led her across the
dance floor, waving to the few people who were left, and then out to the
parking lot.
"It's that
one." She pointed to her beat-up car, the one she'd bought her freshman
year of college. It was used then but it still managed to get her where she
needed to go. "Probably not as nice as what you drive."
He leaned her against
the car and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her heart pounded hard against
her chest, strumming loud between her ears. She could smell the beer that
lingered on his breath. His hazel eyes narrowed as he swiped the tip of his
tongue along his top lip before tilting his head.
"I have a feeling
I'm going be seeing you in my dreams tonight."He sighed as he brought his
mouth to hers. "Give me something to remember these next few days."
She nodded as she
placed her hands on his broad shoulders and guided him to her, closing any
space between them. When his warm lips touched hers, she thought she would
explode. A burn coursed through her and settled between her legs. The mild
tingling she'd experienced when they danced was nothing compared to the
intensity she felt now.
As he deepened the
kiss, his tongue massaged hers. Increasing his hold on her hips, he pinned her
between the car and his massive thighs. She tightened her grip on him when his
erection grazed her center. Every nerve ending in her begged to be satiated.
The ache inside her stomach moved lower until the dampness invaded her panties.
Her nipples poked against the thin material of her silk bra.
When she moaned into
his mouth, he placed one last kiss on her lips before pulling away. He looked
at her for a moment, pressing his forehead to hers as he stuttered a few words.
"That was…well,
I've never…" He ran his fingers through his hair. "You have me
tongue-tied, sugar. That doesn't happen often."
Now she wanted to know
what else he could do with that tongue.
"You best get in
that car and drive away before I…"
She'd never wanted to
have a one-night stand more than she did at that very moment. Maggie had said
if there was ever a guy to have one with, Pax would be the one. He was a
no-strings-attached player. Why hadn't he asked her to go home with him?
"Be safe driving
home." He reached for the handle and opened her door. "You have some
sweet dreams. I know I sure will."
Sleep? That was the
last thing on her mind.
