Excerpt:
Sawyer
My throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart didnβt know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. βDid you leave me all this to show me the life you couldβve had, but didnβt? Why!?β I pounded the wheel again and then again, and again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was the redness of my own heated rage. βYouβre a fucking coward! You fucking COWARD!β I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my fingers.
Strong hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. βI like it when you swear,β he said, pressing close.
βFinn, get off me! Get off me! Let me go!β I wailed, struggling to free myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the air as he evaded my every move.
A growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.
βLet me go,β I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. βI donβt have time for your broodiness right now.β
Finn held my wrists together with one hand. βNo, of course you donβt. Youβre too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.β
βLet me go,β I repeated.
βNo,β he said between clenched teeth.
βJust go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!β I wailed as I pounded against his stone chest.
βYou donβt want to hit me,β he warned, his eyes hardened.
βThen let me go.β
βWhy?β He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him. My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs. Β
βBecause she did!β I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue gaze. βShe could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldnβt make the right decision and I love her. I love herβ¦but I hate her. I hate her so muchβ¦soβ¦β I was interrupted when Finnβs lips pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to fight him off, but I didnβt need to, he pulled his lips from mine.
βStop doing that,β I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt the conflict had everything to do with me.
And kissing me.
βItβs your fault that I do it,β Finn said, his voice deep and smooth against my chin and then my neck.
βSo thatβs your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?β I asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my core. βThank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate it,β my voice cracked. βBut you can just leave me alone now. And please, STOP kissing me.β My words a whisper.
βIβm going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,β Finn stated as if I didnβt have a say in the matter.
The early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each otherβs air.
βWhenever you want to kiss me?β I laughed. βI donβt understand you. I donβt understand any of this. Youβre always mad at me. Why did you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when youβre always mad at me?β
βItβs when Iβm pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,β Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning with confusion.
βDo you always kiss everyone you hate?β I asked, yanking my lips from his.
βDoes this feel like hate to you?β he growled pushing his hard length between my legs.
