Ruthless Kings - Laura Lee Page 0,98
can’t tell if she’s wearing any undies, but she’s sure as shit not wearing anything up top.
Preston pushes his dick against her lips. “Good girl. Now, open up.”
Preston grabs the back of Peyton’s head with both hands and instantly starts shoving himself into her mouth, grunting as he roughly fucks her face. When she starts gagging and gasping for air, yet he makes no move to let up, I turn my head away, no longer able to stomach it.
“Turn it off. Please.”
Kingston reaches forward and slams the laptop shut. All three of us sit in complete silence for a few moments, processing the whirlwind of disturbing shit we’ve just learned.
“It’s all about money,” I whisper, turning to Kingston. “Your dad...Peyton...they almost killed me for money.”
Kingston’s eyes bounce back and forth between mine. “I don’t think it’s just about money, Jazz.”
My brows furrow. “What do you mean?”
Kingston’s jaw works back and forth as he seemingly tries to formulate words. Whatever’s running through his head, he doesn’t want to say it out loud.
Bentley clears his throat. “Baby girl, Daddy Davenport wants the money, sure, but he also wants...you.”
“What?!” I squeak. “That’s...that’s...”
“Royally fucked up,” Bentley supplies.
“Yeah, that.”
“And unquestionably accurate,” Kingston adds.
My eyes find his. “What are we going to do?”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Kingston look so furious. So...determined.
He swallows hard. “I’m going to fucking kill him.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LAURA LEE IS THE USA Today bestselling author of steamy and sometimes ridiculously funny romance. She won her first writing contest at the ripe old age of nine, earning a trip to the state capital to showcase her manuscript. Thankfully for her, those early works will never see the light of day again!
Laura lives in the Pacific Northwest with her wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and three of the most poorly behaved cats in existence. She likes her fruit smoothies filled with rum, her cupboards stocked with Cadbury's chocolate, and her music turned up loud. When she's not chasing the kids around, writing, or watching HGTV, she's reading anything she can get her hands on. She's a sucker for spicy romances, especially those that can make her laugh!

You can also find her “working” on social media quite frequently.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TO MY HUSBAND, TAD: 2020 has been an epic cluster fuck across the world. There’s a lot of uncertainty out there, but one thing I have never doubted is your love and support. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side in this crazy thing we call life.
To my beautiful children: You two are my world. I love you more than anything, despite how much of a pain in the ass you can be during distance learning.
To my friend and fellow author, Julia Wolf: Thank you for your brainstorming genius. Once again, this book wouldn't be out in the wild without you.
To my lovely betas Crystal, Julia, & Heather: Thank you for being the first to read Ruthless Kings. Your feedback, as always, was invaluable, especially when you encouraged that filthy scene. (You know which one I’m talking about.)
To April Wells: Thank you for answering all of my medical questions.
To my fellow bullymance authors and their PA’s, including, but not limited to: Tracy, Sara, Kristi, Dani, Leigh, E.M., Eva, Sheridan, Cassy, Josi, Shantel, Siobhan, Christina, TJ, and Danielle: Thank you for graciously welcoming me to the club and/or allowing me to pop into your Facebook groups.
To all the seriously awesome bloggers & bookstagrammers in the book world: Your tireless efforts to spread the love of reading romance do not go unnoticed. I think we can all use a little escapism in the world right now, and you help with that. I appreciate you so much, as a reader and a writer.
To my incredible ARC team and Loungers: Thank you for being so awesome, hilarious, and indulgent with my Chris Hemsworth obsession. My reader's group has grown quite a bit over the last few months, for which I am extremely grateful. I love being able to interact with my readers, and I look forward to getting to know all you newbies!
To my editor, Ellie McLove of My Brother's Editor: Thank you for polishing my work to make the final product so much better, even though I barely give you enough time because I'm always late. You're an absolute joy to work with. It should be noted that Ellie did not edit the acknowledgments section. If there are any errors, it's totally my fault.
Last but never least, to my readers: Your response to this series has been overwhelming. It's vastly different from anything I've written before, so I was terrified when Wicked Liars went live. Your positive feedback means the world to me. I personally read every review, email, or message, and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Sorry for leaving you on a cliff yet AGAIN, but this series came to me in three very distinct parts; hence, the trilogy. I will say there is MUCH more to come in the final installment. You may think you know where it's heading by now, but I can assure you, I have many more twists and turns up my sleeves! (Cue evil laugh)
If you found me through Wicked Liars, I'm incredibly thankful you took a chance on a new author. If you've been with me for a while now, thanks for putting up with my brain's randomness! Whichever category you fall under, I adore you. I couldn't do what I love for a living without you.
