Excerpt:
My
throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart
didn’t know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. “Did
you leave me all this to show me the life you could’ve had, but
didn’t? Why!?” I pounded the wheel again and then again, and
again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was
the redness of my own heated rage. “You’re a fucking coward! You
fucking COWARD!” I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until
the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my
fingers.
Strong
hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around
by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. “I like it
when you swear,” he said, pressing close.
“Finn,
get off me! Get off me! Let me go!” I wailed, struggling to free
myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the
air as he evaded my every move.
A
growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the
back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself
between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.
“Let
me go,” I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. “I don’t have
time for your broodiness right now.”
Finn
held my wrists together with one hand. “No, of course you don’t.
You’re too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.”
“Let
me go,” I repeated.
“No,”
he said between clenched teeth.
“Just
go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!” I wailed as I pounded against
his stone chest.
“You
don’t want to hit me,” he warned, his eyes hardened.
“Then
let me go.”
“Why?”
He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him.
My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs.
“Because
she did!” I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue
gaze. “She could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead
she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldn’t
make the right decision and I love her. I love her…but I hate her.
I hate her so much…so…” I was interrupted when Finn’s lips
pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my
toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my
legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to
fight him off, but I didn’t need to, he pulled his lips from mine.
“Stop
doing that,” I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my
legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt
I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in
his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt
the conflict had everything to do with me.
And
kissing me.
“It’s
your fault that I do it,” Finn said, his voice deep and smooth
against my chin and then my neck.
“So
that’s your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?” I
asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something
else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my
core. “Thank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate
it,” my voice cracked. “But you can just leave me alone now. And
please, STOP kissing me.” My words a whisper.
“I’m
going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,” Finn stated as if I
didn’t have a say in the matter.
The
early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from
his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his
defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each
other’s air.
“Whenever
you want to kiss me?” I laughed. “I don’t understand you. I
don’t understand any of this. You’re always mad at me. Why did
you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when you’re always mad at
me?”
“It’s
when I’m pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,”
Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He
slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as
if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed
my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning
with confusion.
“Do
you always kiss everyone you hate?” I asked, yanking my lips from
his.
“Does
this feel like hate to you?” he growled pushing his hard length
between my legs.
REVIEW:
Oh my gosh! You won't be able to not fall in love with Sawyer and Finn. These two both have had bad things that happened in their lives. He's living the only way he knows how now. Sawyer is trying to find her footing in this new way of life for her.
The author always draws me into the story where I'm almost biting my nails, giggling, and talking to my kindle. Oh and holding my breath too....especially at the end! I was like oh heck no!!! I couldn't believe what was happening!!! I cannot wait for the second part!!! Oh and did I mention the sexy times? Oh yeah, there's that in there too! *wink, wink*
