Excerpt:
I take a good look at myself in the
bathroom mirror. I'm not gorgeous by any means but I do find myself pretty. My
long dark locks hang loose before I throw it into a messy bun to get it out of
the way. There is minimal makeup on my face with just a touch of powder and
some mascara to make my eyes pop. The freckles splattered lightly along my
cheeks seem to make me look younger than my 23 years. However, as I stare into
my dark brown eyes, they tell a different story.
I grew up too fast after losing my parents
when I realized the world wasn't fair. My grandmother did her best to care for
me but she was old and frail. I always assumed I would have lost her years
earlier but I was lucky for the time I did have with her. I had to help care
for her though, just as much as she cared for me. I learned how to cook not
long after moving into her house, and I had to do every chore there was because
it was too difficult for her. I made sure she took her pills on time everyday
among other things. By the time I had been with her a year, I felt more like
her parent then she was to me.
When I lost her years later, I was
devastated just as much as I was losing my parents and at the time I only had
Sean and his family left. I had no other family as I took care of myself. I
went to college, got a great job, and was well on my way to living the life I
always imagined. But it had always felt empty somehow. Like there as a missing
piece and I could never figure out what it was that was missing from my life.
Until now.
I loved Sean. I still do. He will always
have a piece of my heart but Brad has always had my soul. Sean just filled some
of the void that Brad had left behind when we were younger.
I am shocked to realized that after all
this time Brad has felt the same. Now that he is here claiming me, making me
his irrevocably, and filling everything I never realized was missing in my
life, I am scared. It was one thing to lose Sean. I knew eventually I could
move on with my life and look back on the memories of him with a smile. If
something were to happen to Brad, I would become shattered. Forever broken and
I would wither away into nothing. I would only ever just exist.
Life has a way of taking everything that I
love and care about away from me. It is inevitable that I will lose Brad and I
cannot let that happen. As much as I want him, my need for him to remain safe
and keep me from being completely shattered is to push him away. I just hope I
am strong enough to do it.
Once I step back into the living room after
cleaning myself up and getting my emotions in check, Brad is already waiting
for me with determination in his eyes.
"I see the wheels turning in that
pretty little head of yours but I am not leaving here until we hash this out.
You're mine, Lainey. Every piece of you is mine; always has been and always
will be. I let Sean have you and that was my first mistake. I almost lost you
to him. I loved Sean. I would never want to disrespect him. But I know he would
want you to move on and be happy. He would want someone to love you just as
much as he had. I can guarantee that nobody, not even Sean, has ever or will
ever love you as much as I do. You're my only reason for living. After today, you
will know whom you belong to. I guarantee it."
Not once did Brad show an ounce of
insincerity in his speech. He meant every word and it sent tingles down my
spine with his declaration. I wanted him again. What's more is I wanted in his
embrace. However, I was still scared at the thought that I would lose him
eventually.
"I can't. If I lose you, I will never
recover. And I can guarantee that I will lose you. Everyone I love and care
about is taken from me."
"I'm not going anywhere princess.
You're mine and I am never letting you go and I sure as fuck ain't going
anywhere."
"You can't promise me that. Anything
could happen to take you away. It's just easier if I put distance between us
before I get too close."
"Let's say you're right. Would you
rather take the chance of losing me and regretting never taking the chance to
see what we could have been? I think you would regret never taking the chance
to make memories of us and missing out on everything you ever dreamed of."
I contemplate his words and know that he is right. But I am still fearful. He
doesn't get that I will become a shell of my former self if I lost him.
Brad stalks towards me with heat in his
eyes, but there is something more pronounced. Triumph dances along his features
as he realizes he's winning this battle of wills. As much as I hate the idea of
losing him, the thought of never having taken a chance to see where this will
go hurts even worse.
"Take a chance with me. Let me show
you how to truly live. You've hidden away in fear for far too long and it's
time to start living." He pulls me too him and I give no resistance.
What's the point? He's right that I need to stop living in fear all of the
time. Maybe this time I won't lose someone I love. For once in my life, fate
may give me mercy and let me keep this one man to live my life with instead of
taking him like my parents, my grandma, and Sean.
I close my eyes as Brad glides his fingers
along my cheek and jaw before gripping the back of my neck giving me chills
with his dominance.
"Ok.” I whisper. “I'll take a chance.
I'll live for you, for me and for everyone that has been taken from me. I'm
yours in every way. Promise me I will never lose you?" I chew my bottom
lip with nervousness.
Brads lips turn up in a smirk making my
insides quiver in anticipation. "You bet princess. I'm not going anywhere
now that I've finally got you in my arms." Pulling me into his embrace,
his hard body creating warmth and safety among other things, to flow through
me.
I suck in a breath from his words knowing
he means every one before he lands a soft kiss on my lips. Slowly he deepens
the kiss, applying more pressure before licking the seems causing me to open
for him before plunging his tongue inside creating a moan from deep inside my
chest.
Before I know it, he has me pinned to the
couch, stripped me completely for the second time and has me straddling him as
I set the pace giving long, deep strokes, chasing our release slowly before
finally cresting over into bliss. My heart soars and somehow I know I will
never get enough. I just hope fate doesn't swoop in and ruining everything.

About Whitney-
I am an author, blogger, and mom to the
best kid ever. On the days that are not hectic (which is hardly ever) I spend
my time writing what I can. I write mostly contemporary adult romance but I
think I will venture out just a little and write a few for teens to broaden my
reader spectrum. I have always been imaginative making up stories and friends
when I was younger, and once I had a teacher tell me how horrible a story I
wrote was, that I didn't write until just a few years ago. I realized I don't
care what her or anyone else thinks, as long as I love what I write then I am
happy. That doesn't mean I don't want readers to love my books, I am just
understanding that not everyone will love what they read and I am ok with that.
I also run a blog with two other awesome
ladies called The Club and I hope that you would take a look and see what we
have going on. I was just kind of thrust into it but I love exploring new
genres, finding new authors, and reading a range of books I might not have
heard of before then. It also helps I love to tell other readers about some
great authors.
I grew up in Southern California, and on
top of being and author, blogger and mom, I also love to watch movies, read
excessively, go to hockey and baseball games, and relax with just my friends
and family.
I hope you take the chance to check out my
books and hopefully enjoy them.
