This book took a lot of turns I was not anticipating. There were a few parts that had me on the verge of tears. I cannot wait for the next book. This book blew my mind and had me on the edge my seat in parts and had me wanting to knock some sense into these guys.
~ Excerpt ~
Pretending to be a reporter getting
the inside scoop on Dr. Kayla Saradon’s life was turning out to be very
enjoyable for Trey. They had finished the meal. Kayla declined dessert, so Trey
ordered coffees, reluctant for their time together to end and sure it would
when they left the restaurant.
They had settled into a silence
that Trey was unsure how to break. He was thankful when Kayla took the
initiative.
“Why don’t we continue the
interview in your room, Devon? We could talk more privately there.”
He was both surprised and pleased as
he met those extraordinary green eyes.
“That would be perfect. I would
have suggested that, but I didn’t know what you would think. I wouldn’t want to
compromise your—ah—reputation.”
Kayla laughed. “I don’t care what people say, Devon. I deal
in truths, not innuendoes or rumors, and I have no patience with those who
cater to that kind of subtle slander.”
Damn,
she’s a woman after my own heart! “Good to know.”
He paid the check and they left the
dining area. Kayla excused herself briefly in the lobby, walking away to make a
quick phone call before rejoining him at the elevator.
Once in his room, Kayla immediately
kicked off her shoes. She curled comfortably on the two-seater couch while Trey
watched in utter fascination.
“Now, why don't you sit down beside me and get comfortable,
as well, and let’s really talk,” she suggested, patting the place next to her.
Trey sat down but was far from
feeling comfortable. Having her this close, he couldn’t help but visualize her
on the bed, naked and inviting. He hoped his thoughts, growing warmer by the
minute as he inhaled her enticing flowery perfume, wouldn’t become an
embarrassment he couldn’t hide.
“I take it you had the proverbial
perfect childhood, Kayla. All the luxuries, the right schools and so forth?”
“It wasn’t perfect by any means.
But yes, I did have the opportunity for the best education. So it was probably
better than a lot of others. My parents expected me to do well in school, and I
did because I didn’t want to disappoint them. And actually I always strove for
academic perfection for my own sake, as well, because I wanted to accomplish
things and knew the proper education was the way to do that.”
Trey inwardly flinched, remembering
those years when he had determinedly stayed in school, regardless of his hand-me-down
clothes and the way some of the kids made fun of him in his younger years and
then later, regardless of the times he had to go with his back and butt raw and
sore from a beating. He had, however, managed to live through it and get that
diploma that he, too, had felt was important, before he left to join the army.
“Tell me about your parents,” he
said, to cover up his own bitter memory flashes.
“They were very socially conscious
and expected me to be ever aware of how my actions reflected on our good name.
If I could fault them for anything, it might be their overzealous desire for me
to walk a social-acceptance line. That’s hard to do when you really want to
‘run with the bulls,’ if you know what I mean. But I was a dutiful daughter.
“I believe I read that they were
killed in a car accident.”
“That’s right. Right after I
graduated from university. You know, Devon, I’ve noticed that you aren’t taking
notes. Do you have a photographic memory, by any chance?
Trey silently cursed his lack of
judgment and decided to add yet another lie to the pile. “Yes, I do.”
“How interesting. We share that
trait and I know that, at times, it becomes a nuisance, doesn’t it?”
Add to the pile! “So you are
blessed, or maybe I should say cursed, the same way? And yes, it does
sometimes.”
“From experience I know that those
of us with photographic memories usually have total recall, yet in some
instances not. So, tell me, do you recall every detail of practically
everything said to you?”
God, it’s getting deep. “Not
really. I’ve learned to block some things out, as I’m sure you have. But I
assure you I will recall your every word, Kayla,” he said it in a soft,
inviting tone that he hoped said more than just those words. He held her eyes
as he smiled. She returned the smile and for a minute, they didn’t speak. There
was no need for words. That electric current was vibrating between them
again. Feeling drawn to her,
overwhelmed by her nearness, Trey leaned toward her, his eyes holding fast on
those inviting, luscious lips. Simultaneously, she leaned toward him and their
lips touched, lightly at first. Then he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss,
his tongue seeking hers, delving into her open and receptive mouth.
When their lips parted, he expected her to pull away, but
she didn’t. He stood, pulling her up, and melded her against his rock-hard
shaft wedged against her yielding body.
“I know this is unprofessional, but
damn, Kayla, I want you.”
“I can tell,” she said bluntly, her
green eyes alight with a mischievous gleam as her hand reached to touch him, to
fondle and explore his turgid length.
“My heavens, you’re impressive.”
she chuckled.
“God! You know what you’re doing to
me? But since I’m not sure what I’m doing to you, I guess the ball is in your
hands,” he said as he kissed her again, hungrily and imploringly.
Trey could feel her trembling, with
what he hoped was desire as they parted.
“You could write a very revealing story about me if I gave in to what I
really wanted to do right now. You don’t write exposés, do you, Devon?”
“Story be damned! This is a private
time, between the two of us and nobody else,” he assured her.
“So what happens from here on is
off the record?”
“Absolutely.”
