Bad Wolf (Wild Men 4)

I groan.

Dammit, it’s so much better than I remembered. Hot, impossibly snug, perfect. Always better, every time, every second I spend with her, every day and every night.

I rock into her, and she rocks with me. We move together, her legs wrapping around my hips, her arms coming around my neck, and we’re kissing once more, swallowing each other’s moans as everything in me grows tight and urgent.

Oh shit. I break the kiss and try to pull out of her. “Gigi. I can’t…” I can’t stop the orgasm from rushing through me, but her legs tighten around me, and she cries out, clenching and coming on my cock.

Fuck. My vision sort of goes white as I let go. My dick jerks. I bend over her, slamming into her as I come, the pleasure crushing me. Our bodies rock together, drawing out the aftershocks, the release not only physical.

It feels like all my fucking pieces have come together. The past. The present. The future. For the first time in my life, I feel whole.

I roll beside her and gather her in my arms, so close that nothing can get between us, time or distance, problems or lies.

“I love you, Gigi,” I whisper against her hair as she curls against my chest.

And even that is too weak a word. I need her. I’m happy with her. So damn happy. She’s all I could ever want.

I know I fucked up way too many times. But I’ll do better. I’ll be who she needs. The one to take care of her and love her like she deserves to be loved.

And that’s a promise.

I hope you have enjoyed reading BAD WOLF

Damage Control 2

Returning to Madison hurts. I thought I’d left my past behind, but the past goes on living. I carry it inside of me, it’s a piece of me. People have marked me in indelible ways and I drag the shreds of my soul behind me, trying to put my pieces back together. I’m not the Amber I used to be. I fly under the radar, try to be invisible.

It doesn't always work. Drawing attention scares me. It always spells trouble. Returning to my home town is a last ditch effort to lay my demons to rest and start anew, for good this time.

Meeting Jesse Lee wasn’t in the plan. Yet here he is with his heart-stopping, sexy grin, handsome like a god, shining bright. He’s full of life, full of heat, packing the energy of a thousand suns in his gaze and muscular body. Jesse burns, and the pain of being near him is sweet.

But he’s foiling my plans. It’s hard to remain a ghost when he’s around. Hard to avoid his attention, to remain invisible. He sees me, really sees me, and behind his bright radiance, I can see shadows from his own past crowding in. He’s swimming hard to stay afloat even as he reaches for me.

What is he afraid of? And how can he save me from drowning when he can’t even save himself?

A good talisman is one you have for yourself and offer freely to another.

The greatest talisman of them all is your heart.

Part One

“Fucking retard!” Nick backs me up against the lockers at school where everyone can see and hear. “Who has problems reading at the age of sixteen, huh? Only you, dumb bitch, making the whole class look stupid like you. You piece of shit.”

I cower and shudder, the words echoing in my ears, robbing me of my confidence and self-esteem. It’s not happening now, it was more than three years ago, and yet…
