*Excerpt*
"I tilted my face under the
warm spray and leaned back as he wrapped his arms around me. He gently
kissed between my shoulder blades and ran his nose upwards to the base of my
skull.
“I missed you,” he murmured into my
skin.
Just when I was okay with resigning
myself to what we were, to being just fine with the lack of real emotional
connection, Cole had to go and do things like that.
He peppered me with soft kisses,
hugging me tightly.
“I really love you being here when I
wake up. I wish you could be here every morning.” I could feel him smiling
against my back and I wanted to bash his head in.
He really needed to shut the hell
up.
Emo mushy crap was taking things too
far. I didn’t need to engage my heart in this already sticky situation.
But this was Cole. He could be
this amazing, beautiful person when he wanted to be. In the aftermath of sex he
said things that sent me reeling. And I couldn’t help but allow my mind
to wander to possibilities.
I hated him for it.
“You smell and taste
unbelievable. There needs to be an AA program for this. Vivian Anonymous.
Sign me up because I can’t get enough of touching you.” Cole ran his tongue
along my wet skin and I couldn’t help but moan.
“Stay with me another night.
Please,” he begged.
I wanted to give in. God, did
I want to. When he was like this it was hard to deny him anything. But I
couldn’t pretend that what we had was something else. That the two of us
were ever destined for more than a temporary physical relationship.
If I started thinking like that, I
was setting myself up for a hell of a fall. And I wasn’t sure I’d survive
the impact.
Cole was an egotistical
manwhore. That was what I needed to remember right now. If I didn’t
stay, he’d have someone else ready and willing to take my place.
He may ask me to stay but he’d be
just fine if I didn’t. Our hearts were not involved here.
I snorted inelegantly. “What
would all the groupies say if I was here again tonight? I don’t want to
cramp your style,” I scoffed, leaning my head back on his shoulder.
Cole’s hands came up to cup my
breasts, kneading and rubbing in a way that made me weak in the knees. He
played my body against me each and every time.
“Why do
you have to say stuff like that, Viv? You know when you’re around,
there’s no one else. I don’t want anyone but you,” he admonished, his teeth
scraping along the side of my neck, making me shiver, despite the warmth of the
shower."
