back!
    That look across his striking face, was the exact look he flashed every woman and had them uncrossing their legs. He liked women. He had sex with all women, any woman who batted an eye of interest in his direction...and any woman who didn’t.
    Susan...Kelly...Hello Violet.
    Violet had already made up her mind not to let the idea that was rousing in her head go anywhere in the same vicinity as her filter. If she did, her filter would have knocked the idea that had her blood boiling, right out of her head and on its ass. Violet’s filter hadn’t been helping her all morning anyway, and right now she needed a distraction. 
    Violet hands pushed her away from the door. 
    What are you doing? Where are you going? Oh, you know.
    Women threw themselves at Ryder Carlex all the time. He was rich, he was handsome, he loved women and he took them. Right now, Violet wanted to be taken. She wanted to be distracted from the situation she’d put herself into and she needed a release.
    Ryder Carlex was the perfect man to give her a distraction, a release, and he would walk away from her without any expectations.

    RYDER STOOD LESS than fifteen feet away from the ice queen as she started toward him, and he didn’t see a single shred of ice in those deep blue eyes. He saw a bottomless, malicious fire as she sauntered her seductive hips toward him and it was causing a sudden burning bulge in the front of his pants. 
    Seductive hips? Seductive hips! Damn right this woman had seductive hips, and they were heading in his direction.
    Why, in all the time that he’d known Violet Caliendo, had he never noticed she had a stunning body? It was like a revelation slapped him across the face and time froze, so he could fully take in her exterior in a whole new, much more, exciting perspective.
    Violet was tall, equal to his height when she was wearing those sexy black heels. She was slim, with a delicate frame posed under the thin, but crisp material of her blazer, continuing down her silky throat to the ivory skin across her collarbone. Her white, silk blouse was tucked perfectly in the high-waist skirt hugging her lower body and showing off captivating curves in all the right places...and long legs. Violet Caliendo had long, lean legs that disappeared under the skirt just above her knees.
    His fingers suddenly had a mind of their own, wanting to inch up that skirt, and follow her thighs to the warm area that...
    Whoa! What? No. Back up! 
    What are you doing allowing your thoughts in that direction...a lusting direction...for Joel’s ex-wife?
    Wasn’t there some sort of bro code he had to follow? Follow? It wasn’t like Violet was heading toward him to have sex with him, demanding that he dip into the bro code. Was she? No, that was ridiculous.
    Ryder had seen Violet at least half a dozen times since her divorce from Joel, and she hadn’t given Ryder a second glance. He wasn’t sure that she’d given him a first glance, so there was no way she was heading his way for sex . But she was heading Ryder’s way and he was allowed to look... appreciate how attractive she was.... wasn’t he?
    Violet Caliendo was definitely not the grab-a-man-in-the-bathroom-for-sex type of woman...although at the moment, he wished she was.
    No, you don’t. Yes, I do. Do you know who you are talking about? Ice Queen. Ring any bells?
    Oh, Violet was ringing bells alright, but they weren’t warning Ryder of who she was, but rather what she could offer.
    Why the hell was she sauntering right toward him? And why did her eyes look ready to dive into him? And why was the thought that maybe she would dive into him the most exciting feeling he’d had in years?
    As he noticed the full, round mounds of her breasts pushing through the white button-up... move your eyes back to hers ...he wondered why he hadn’t ever taken her beauty in. First, she was your best friend’s wife and then she was the ice queen...that was precisely the reason why he’d
