Excerpt
Justine put her fists on the bed and dipped her head until
they were cheek to cheek. Turning to face him, she let her lips skim across the
stubble on his cheek. A short sound escaped him at the touch. So like a growl,
it inflamed her. She’d wanted to experience all of him, to touch and taste, a
savage need to possess him took over. To take his mouth, to take him inside of
her, until she drove all thought from him, the way he’d done to her. His scent
flooded her senses, leaving her breathless, as she sought his kiss.
He pulled back to look at her, his eyes as unreadable as
ever. He lifted his hand to her cheek and stroked her bottom lip with his
thumb. “What is it?” she asked, her breath still coming in uneven bursts.
“I don’t want to give you the wrong idea.” His hand dropped
and he eased himself from the mattress.
“About?”
He crossed behind her, to the door, and she twisted on the
bed to look at him. Her robe gaped open with the movement, and she yanked it
together with a hand, exposed now. But he wouldn’t meet her gaze, wouldn’t look at her at all,
so it didn’t much matter. He looked at the TV, the window, the floor.
Everywhere but at her. “About us.” Finally, he let his gaze rest on her.
Justine flinched slightly, and she hoped he hadn’t noticed.
She forced herself to maintain eye contact.
“You should go now.”
Sawyer spoke her name, his voice soft and full of pity. For
her.
“Don’t. Don’t say it like that. Pathetic Justine, so unwise
when she chooses a lover.” Justine climbed off the bed and walked the ten steps
across the room to stand in front of him. “You know, I never thought I’d meet
anyone more emotionally broken than me.”
“I’m trying to do the right thing here, which is a pretty
novel experience for me, so…give me a break.”
Justine whirled away, grabbed his jacket off the chair where
he’d dropped it earlier, and threw it at his head. “Get. Out.”
Sawyer caught the jacket before it slapped him upside the
head, which disappointed her. He opened the door and then wrenched back around
to look at her. “This is twice I haven’t taken advantage of you when you threw
yourself at me. Next time, I’m using you for sex. You couldn’t possibly be more
pissed by that.”
“There won’t be a next time!”
The door slammed behind him, and she jumped, staring at it
for the longest time. She couldn’t get back in that bed, not now. She’d been so
foolish, attributing feelings to him he didn’t have, to rationalize her own
desires were getting the best of her.
