Whitley
Hayes is an ordinary girl with a gypsy heart. College is the only constant in
her life. She’s made a lot of mistakes and she intends on keeping them in the
past.
Move on and
forget.
That’s her
motto.
Jennings
Cohen is no ordinary man—not at all. He would have never imagined his life
would turn into such a spectacle. The tabloids exploit him, fans stalk him and
the paparazzi are relentless. It’s not always fun being Jennings.
It doesn’t
help that he has a secret. One that comes at a price he’s not sure he can pay.
Relationships
get complicated and hearts shatter.
It’s not
easy living a lie, but it’s easier than telling the truth.
“I very
desperately want to kiss you.”
My mouth
forms into a line. “And that’s bad because…?”
He takes a
deep intake of air into his lungs and looks at me. I mean—really looks at me.
Deep into my being. “Because I’m afraid if do, I won’t be able to stop.”
I elevate my
body and collapse onto his chest. “Then, don’t.” If anything is like his
previous kisses, I’m in for a passionate road ahead.
His hand
reaches behind my head and I watch in slow motion as his beautiful face moves
toward mine. The moment our lips touch, all of my other senses go haywire,
feeling everything. Pleasure, need, hunger…want. So much want. I want
everything he has to offer. In this moment, I don’t care what the future holds.
I don’t care if he finds out about my shattered past and hates it. In this
instant, I only care about him and the feelings he’s unleashing in and on my
body.
His grip on
my hair tightens as the kiss deepens. We moan together, feeling the pleasure
poring from our bodies. His lips are sweet at first. Restrained and guarded.
Almost as if he’s willing himself to slow down. But, I don’t want him
controlled. I want him wild. I want him like the rain pours down. Taking no
prisoners. The rain doesn’t care who it drenches; it just comes down, down,
down. Soaking you. I want him forceful and firm, taking me how he wants. Just
like the rain.
The thought
of stopping makes me physically ill. This moment, being with him, in his warm,
comforting embrace might be the most beautiful moment of my life. It’s heated
and perfect. Stopping isn’t an option.
My hands
move down his torso, taut and hard. His muscles move and bend under my touch
and I feel myself growing wet as every second passes. The swirl of his tongue
sends me high and I bite his bottom lip.
“I don’t
think I’ve wanted anything or anyone as much as I want you, my Pretty Girl,” he
hums in between kissing up and down my neck. “Nothing is as good as being with
you. You have me soaring.”
He doesn’t have
much time to say anything else before I’m pulling him up by his shirt, lifting
it up and over his head. He grabs at my blouse, unbuttoning every button with
detailed precision. When he opens my shirt, he simply stares, eyes electric. He
puts his hand in between my breasts and just touches—feels.
“Come to bed
with me. As much as I want you. Here. Now, I’ve gotta have you in bed. Slowly.”
I nod my
head, unable to form any coherent words. It’s almost as if the hand that’s
resting on my chest is somehow digging into my body, willing my heart to beat
violently. He’s able to control me.
I wonder if
I do the same.
I gently
move off of his body and stand, watching him swing his legs off the couch. His
body lifts and like a peacock, he looks big and alarming. Proud.
Grabbing my
hand, he leads me up the stairs, stopping half way to pin me against the wall
to thoroughly kiss me.
Hauling me
to his room, he opens the door, turns on a small light on his nightstand and
the cool air whooshes against my face. The blindingly white down blanket shines
bright, but the dark, patterned pillows offset the brightness of the covers.
“Christ,
you’re beautiful.”

It makes her nervous and somewhat sweaty. So, she’s going to make this short.

happy place is sitting in her house with her husband and daughter while writing
stories about lovers who are meant to be together. She’d live in that world
forever if she could.
