EXCERPT:
My hands wander down to his forearms. “You want me now
today, or forever? Or maybe a time in between those two?”
“Always. Always, Fast Lane. I want you forever. This is hard
for me, too. Sharing isn’t a word in my repertoire.” It shouldn’t be in mine
either. His gaze darts to the water on the side of my house. My island doesn’t
feel as safe as it did five minutes ago.
Focusing on the task at hand, I lean my head against his
chest. “I need to break up with Dax.” I don’t need to explain. I owe it to Dax
to keep the explanations for him. I feel Cody’s hand in my hair and his kiss on
the top of my head.
“I’m sorry for this.” His voice is low and coiled with
control. “I’d deal with it if I could. I’d make the pain go away if there was a
way.”
I shake my head. “It’s my fault. I never stopped loving you,
Cody. I should have. My, God I should have.” I look up to meet his gaze, ice
blue, so much like Dax’s.
“He saved me, but you own me.”
With the hands that are still in my hair, he brings my face
up to meet with his, our lips touching in the barest flutter of a kiss. Not
enough to taste him, but enough to know he’s mine right back. “Be mine again.
All mine.” There’s that word again. I think of Dax.
“That’s the problem,” I say, my lips touching his as I
speak. “I’ve never not been yours, Cody.” He kisses me madly, profoundly,
passionately. Cody takes my hips and pulls me against his erection. It throbs
into my stomach, causing my core to clench with desire. Every nerve ending in
my body fires. I feel tingly. I feel warm. I feel him.
