He hurt me
He broke me
He almost destroyed me
Nobody was ever going to do that to me
again. I learnt to fight back. I made myself tougher, harder, stronger. I
didn't want or need anyone.
Until Nate Masters.
Until he made me feel, want and need
Then my carefully constructed world began
falling apart around me. Secrets shattering my faith in those closest to me and
with the nightmare from my past pushing its way back into my present, I don't
know how much strength I have left to fight with....
Could I trust him? Give someone the power
to hurt me again? He's determined to break me free from behind my walls of
self-preservation.
I'm just not sure I'm ready or willing to
be Freed by Him....

EXCERPT 1
"I'm capable of
taking care of myself, you know!"
He smirked at me looking
amused. "Sweetheart, I've seen you in action so that's not up for debate,
but no fucker is gonna put his hands on you like that when I'm around."
I lifted my chin at him in
defiance. "What's it gotta do with you?" I sounded like a petulant
teenager, but he just grinned at me, his arrogance riling me up further.
"We'll see"
He pushed me back toward
the table before addressing Christian and Maddie, "I'm gonna take her home."
He indicated at me with a jerk of his head and I exploded, my temper finally getting
its release after the arsehole on the dancefloor.
"Excuse me! I'm right
here! I'll go home when I damn well please, not when you say, who the bloody
hell do you think you are!" He grinned at me and rolled his eyes,
infuriating me almost to the point of combustion.
Maddie pulled herself
upright into a sitting position, trying to extricate herself from Christian’s
grasp. "We're going now too. C'mon Lee I'll come as well" Maddie
tried to pacify me but Nate shook his head.
"You guys stay, or go
together. Whatever," He shrugged. "I'm taking Lena"
Maddie’s eyes flicked to
me uncertainly as I looked at him stunned, trying to think of a response more
eloquent than “Fuck off!”
Maddie started to speak,
but Christian whispered in her ear just as Nate cut her off. "It's not a
request. I'll have her text you"
His playfulness from
earlier had been replaced by a cool confident authority. I gaped at him as he
spoke to her. As he turned back to me I met him with a face like thunder, which
caused a huge grin to break across his face again.
I glanced back at Maddie
for help, expecting her to be outraged at Nate's behaviour but she was smirking
at me, looking somewhat impressed with him. Trust her to be taken in with the
caveman behaviour.
I felt like stamping my
foot and shouting. This is not how I was used to being treated. This was not
how I allowed myself to be treated. I was a grown woman of nearly 25; I did
what I wanted when I wanted. I was practically running a company for God’s
sake.
As if sensing my newfound
resolve Nate cocked an eyebrow at me a small smile playing on his lips as he
leaned in "Don't make me throw you over my shoulders Princess. There are a
number of ways you can make your exit but you should know every one of them
involves me" He winked at me looking relaxed, an arrogant smirk on his
face. I scowled back but allowed him to lead me from the bar.
The cold night air hit me
and I realised how unsteady on my feet I felt.
He was beside me in an
instant. "If I'd have known I'd be taking you home I'd have brought a
jacket" He said with a smile as he gently rubbed my arms before wrapping
his own around me in a warm embrace.
I stood tucked inside his
arms, my back pressed close to his chest while we waited for a taxi. "If
I'd known you'd be taking me home I'd have stayed in," I quipped back and
he laughed, a deep rumbling sound that had me grinning in spite of myself.
EXCERPT 2
He looked
over at me, annoyance on his features. "Last time you had sex with a
woman?" he demanded.
I spluttered "Gramps! You want me to tell you the last time I was with a woman?" I asked incredulously.
"I'm not interested in the last time you gave your wrist a work out!" He deadpanned, and I barked out a laugh at him,
"Jesus, Gramps! Can't you be like other old men?!" I shook my head at him but he still looked at me, waiting.
"Bloody hell" I cursed, cringing knowing that he wouldn’t let the conversation go.
"I dunno why you feel the need to know, 6 days ago. Satisfied?"
He fixed me with a stare. "You trying to be funny, boy? I've not been satisfied for nearly two weeks. I'm a grown man who fought for his bloody country, and if I want..."
I interrupted his rant. "Wait! How'd you get it two weeks ago?" I looked at him puzzled, and a slow grin spread over his face.
"Betty stays here quite regularly, boy. We were just unlucky last night, in that the silly old witch next door fell over."
I spluttered "Gramps! You want me to tell you the last time I was with a woman?" I asked incredulously.
"I'm not interested in the last time you gave your wrist a work out!" He deadpanned, and I barked out a laugh at him,
