This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales
is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.
Warning:
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been
rated S-ensuous by a minimum of three independent reviewers.
Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-
rotic), and X (X-treme).
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall
word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find
objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated
titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as
“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,
stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Dangerous Intentions
Prologue
The old man looked like a gnome.
Scott imagined Reginald Casey Chapman with one of those ridiculous green hats
and a costume that made him resemble one of the Seven Dwarfs. Dopey. Yeah. That
was the one.
Sitting behind a huge mahogany desk, the Chief Executive Officer of Chapman
Enterprises could have looked like Yoda and it wouldn’t matter. The man possessed
more money and power than almost anyone in the whole damn United States and then
some.
Lightning illuminated the room, and Scott glanced out the colossal penthouse office
window. Towering thirty-five stories into the atmosphere, the office complex
challenged the Denver skyline and nature itself. He shifted in his seat across the desk
from Chapman and watched the weather outside.
Thunderheads reared to the west, heralding another Rocky Mountain June storm.
He wished he could be in the mountains when the rain came, smelling the ozone and
the danger. Instead, the patriarch of a family of two gazed at him with anticipation.
Expecting him to accomplish something he didn’t feel like doing now or any other time
in the near future. Incredibly boring, but necessary.
“I want you to stick to her like glue,” Chapman said, leaning on the green leather
desk blotter in front of him. His voice didn’t match his diminutive stature. It rumbled in
his chest with command.
“No problem, Mr. Chapman.”
“Call me Reggie.” Twitching up one snowy white brow, Chapman snatched a
Montblanc fountain pen from the green leather pencil holder on his desk. “This should
cover clothing, living expenses, and any other supplies you might need.”
Scott glanced down at his own charcoal, double-breasted suit. “Something wrong
with the way I’m dressed?”
Chapman scribbled without pausing or looking up from his checkbook. “No, no.
There may be other supplies, however, that you wish to obtain.” He finished his
signature with a flourish and ripped the check from the book. Handing the advance to
Scott, he plastered on a wide smile. “Consider it a down payment to secure your
services.”
Scott stared at the astronomical amount and felt a flicker of unease. “Taggert
Security Team pays me—”
Chapman waved one small hand. “Nonsense. I know quality when I see quality. Do
you often underrate your talents?”
