DIAMONDS IN THE RAIN

Featuring Ethan Archer & Ava Chestain

CHAPTER ONE

“Hello, Rock.”

Ava Chestain made sure to issue the greeting beneath her breath even though her fiancé, Ethan Archer, was still all the way across their suite at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay. He wouldn’t be happy to hear her talking to her engagement ring again. And he’d be outright seething, in a not-so-yummy-Dom kind of way, if he learned what she was calling the thing. But she couldn’t help it. The ring had at least twenty clear diamonds arranged in a burst pattern around a four-carat yellow diamond that had been custom-cut for the setting. Ethan had slipped it on her finger just three days ago, proposing to her—for a second time—on the Santa Monica pier at sunset in front of a cheering crowd.

He’d been holding the ring when he did it, rendering Ava more speechless than the first time he’d asked. That was quite a feat, considering that first time had occurred when they were inducting each other into the Mile-High Club on Air Force One. When she’d finally found her voice on the pier and gawked at the ring, Ethan only slung back a smirk and said declared his sunshine could now wear the sun, too.

“Caramba,” she whispered. Sergeant Archer, you’re hell-bent on spoiling me.

If only that musing didn’t tangle the pit of her stomach in abject anxiety.

“You’re talking to your ring again, aren’t you?”

She jumped. Ethan had seemingly teleported across the room and now pressed up behind her. Just her luck; she’d fallen in love with a man who was half ninja. “No,” she retorted. “It’s ignoring me today, anyhow.”

He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head atop her chin. “Do you blame it? Engagement rings get inferiority complexes, too.”

The knot in her gut tightened. Something in his murmur told her he wasn’t referring just to the ring anymore. “Ethan, I—”

“Ssshh. It’s okay. If you don’t like it—”

“No! Ay dios mio, I love it!”

“But…?”

She swallowed hard. His Dom tone, a low cadence of command, had entered the word with undeniable force. Despite his gentle hold, he expected an answer to his hard question.

His really hard question.

It was time to address the giant elephant in the room.

Ava stepped gingerly from him. There was a seat built into the window that allowed for enjoyment of the sweeping cliff and ocean view. Right now, she was just grateful for its presence in helping her trembling knees.

As she lowered to the cushion, she tugged at her lip with her teeth. She doubled the pressure when Ethan settled next to her. She was seriously in trouble. The man took her breath away in normal circumstances. But here, with his eyes nearly matching the sea and his broad chest sheathed in a thick Irish sweater, he was male decadence—and dominance—defined.

He reinforced the point by reaching and curling his hands around her wrists. He used the unconventional hold on purpose, sending an undeniable message. She was in his care now. Everything she said from her heart was safe.
