Sneak
Peek Excerpt #1
Without
warning, his lips crash into mine. At first I fight it, pushing hard
against his chest, but he tastes like whiskey. Woodsy and smoky like
a campfire, matching the intensity of his kiss. He melts away my
anger with his mouth, leaving days’ worth of unrealized sexual
tension in its wake.
He tastes.
I lean into
him.
He sucks.
My knees go
weak.
He isn’t
something I wanted. Not three weeks ago. Not even three minutes ago.
But as his hands slide up my back, coming up to circle my neck, I’m
drowning in want. He tilts my head back to allow himself better
access. My tongue tangles with his. Never in a million years did I
envision this … how much pleasure I would feel from a simple touch.
I guess sometimes we have to have our desires at our fingertips to
realize their true depth.
When his lips
leave mine, his hands stay. We went from one extreme to another so
quickly … I’m not sure what will happen when he pushes the
brakes. His face is close, like he wants to kiss me again, but his
hands fall away from me instead.
“Don’t—”
One step back.
“Ever—”
Another step.
“Let me—”
Another step.
His back hits my bedroom wall.
“Do that
again.”
As he exits the
room, I’m left wondering what the heck just happened. That kiss
took all the cells in my brain and tangled them. I never imagined
this, and I hate to admit it but I liked it.

#2
When
the rustling continues, I throw my covers off and roll out of bed. My
bare feet pad against the cool hardwood floors as I make my way into
the living room. Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I focus in on a
shirtless Blake standing in front of the stove with his strong back
to me. His body is sculpted. Wide shoulders. Waist tapering in at
just the right angle … there’s probably not a pinch of fat on the
guy.
I
quietly walk up behind him, tapping my finger on his shoulder. “We
need to talk.”
He
spins around, his arm brushing against mine. His hair is mussed—a
look he wears well … too well, as much as I hate to admit it.
“I
only made enough eggs for me.” He smirks, and two stupid dimples
form. He’s cute—stupidly so.
“I’m
a cereal kind of girl,” I say, crossing my arms.
His
smile widens. “Fruit Loops or Captain Crunch? I’m guessing you
like the ones with the cute little cartoon characters on the front of
the box.”
“Wheaties.
I prefer to stare at a sexy athlete while eating my breakfast.” I
stop, moving my hands to my hips. “Look, can we make a rule? No
loud noises until at least nine. Some of us need our beauty sleep.”
His
brow lifts. “Now that you mention it, your eyes are a little dark
and puffy. It’s nothing a little make-up won’t fix.”
“You’re
an asshole!”
He
laughs, nibbling on a piece of egg at the end of his spatula. “That’s
nothing I haven’t heard before.”
“Are
you done? Because I’d really like to crawl back into my nice warm
bed.”
He
looks back to the stove. “Yep, breakfast is served.”
“Good.
I’m going back to bed.”
I
start to walk away, but his voice stops me. “Hey, Lila?” He says
my name with extra emphasis on the second syllable—in a way I
haven’t heard it before. I turn around, taking in his dark, hooded
eyes. “If you’re going to walk around looking like that every
morning, I might be okay with this roommate thing.”
Looking
down, I’m suddenly reminded that all I have on is a sleep shirt
that reads: “I don’t hate morning people. Mornings have nothing
to do with it.” It barely covers my ass, and the wide neck falls
off my shoulder. It’s certainly not something I’d want to be
caught in by him.
“Definitely
an asshole,” I groan as I hurry to my room and slam the door shut
behind me.

“I
don’t understand,” I finally say, my voice shaky.
His
hands still cupping my face, he walks me back until I’m against the
wall. His gaze is powerful, paralyzing me. No one’s ever looked at
me like that. Not Derek, not anyone. “I want to fuck you so good
that you’ll be begging me to fuck you again. Then tomorrow, I’ll
do it all over so you don’t forget how good my cock feels buried
inside of you.”
He
slides his fingers down around the base of my neck, then down my
arms, letting his thumbs brush against my breasts. “The way your
body curves into mine, the way you shudder under my touch; I feel it,
Lila. You want this. I know I want this.”
If
I could orgasm from words alone, I’d be clenching around every
single syllable that just fell from his lips. He grips my hips
pulling me into him. So big. I’m like an alcoholic that’s been
given a sip; there’s no going back.

Blurb
I
tried hard not to fall for the bad guy.
My
new roommate, Blake, is a jerk—an unemployed artist with a chip on
his shoulder. I can’t stand him unless his hands are on me. He
makes me desperate for him, and everything he makes me feel.
And
then there’s my new boss, Pierce--successful, charming, and
extremely good-looking. He goes after what he wants, but what does he
see in me?
I
try to stay away, but I end up in the arms of exactly who I was
hiding from. And when I find out what’s being hidden from me, my
heart twists in ways it never should.
I
thought I knew him.
I
didn't.
The
way he kissed me.
The
way his hands traveled every inch of my skin.
I
thought it meant something, but as it turns out, it was all lies
unspoken.
