Synopsis
I've destroyed everything in my life and
now I'm left with nothing.
Alone and scared.
Broken and shattered.
But I’ve found a way to deal with it.
Instead of all the pain being on the
inside, I make the outside ache too. Anything to make it easier to breathe.
Until one beautiful morning when I look
outside and see her.
She tries to help me…
But I’m lost.
And I'm not sure I can ever be found
Excerpt
August was winding down.
School had started and I was spending some time with Will and Jax before my
night class.
Well, that had been
the plan.
Jax ended up leaving early
to go hang out with his girlfriend, which left me alone with Will, something I
avoided at all costs. I couldn’t fight my feelings if I were alone with him. He
had offered to leave with Jax, but it wasn’t his fault that I couldn’t control
my feelings, so instead, I sat by the pool while Will swam laps. I loved
watching the way his muscles flexed under his skin. I could watch him move all
day.
I felt like I was baking
in the sun, so I moved to the side of the pool, dangling my feet in the water.
I didn’t want to disturb Will, so I bent over and cupped some water in my hand,
then rubbed it over my skin to cool off. Pouring some water over my
neck and back, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the cool water against my hot skin.
When my eyes opened, Will was standing in the middle of the pool, staring at
me. His eyes were heated as he watched the water drip down my skin. I bit my
lip, not wanting to break his trance. I liked the way his eyes felt on me. I
liked that I didn’t have to pretend that I didn’t want him.
“Hot?” he asked. His voice
was huskier, sexier.
“Yeah, a little.” He swam
over to the side of the pool and put his hands on my thighs. My breath caught
in my throat.
His eyes never left mine
as he rubbed his thumbs over my skin. “I could help you cool off.”
“Oh, yeah?” I asked
breathlessly. I didn’t recognize my own voice.
His hands moved further up
my thighs until they were on my hips. He moved me closer to him until he was
standing between my parted thighs. “Yeah.”
Our eyes never left each
other. Chills raced over my skin even though the sun was intense, but when his
hands moved behind me, I realized what he was trying to do.
“No, no, no!” I squealed,
attempting to get out of his grip. He overpowered me and threw me in the pool.
I resurfaced, spitting and wiping water from my eyes. Will smirked as I tried
to swim away, but he caught me and pulled me closer, tucking a strand of hair
over my shoulder. My entire body was pressed up against his. I could feel his
breath skating over my skin … his heart pounding … his muscles moving…
It took my breath away.
He brushed more hair out
of my face and ran a finger down my cheek. “Are you cooled off?” I nodded and
leaned closer to him, wanting to curl up in his arms and never leave. “Good.”
His eyes studied my lips
as they parted. I wondered if he would kiss me. I wanted him to. God, I wanted
him to kiss me so badly it had become a physical ache. His arms tightened
around me and I found it harder to breathe. I was dizzy with the closeness of
Will and how incredible it felt to be in his arms. I had never felt this way
before.
I didn’t want it to end.
The
sliding glass door opened, pulling Will and me
out of our trance. Jax and his girlfriend Lindsey stood on the deck. Lindsey
was smirking, but Jax had his arms crossed over his chest and his eyebrow
raised, a slight scowl on his lips. Will dropped his arms and moved away. I
missed him immediately. I wanted to move closer to him and tell Jax to leave,
but I couldn’t.
I had to be strong.
