Tough Love (Hidden Secrets) (30 page)

“Further,” he snapped, on the edge of losing his composure. I happily obliged as I felt more fingers enter me and cried out in pleasure as my orgasm began to form deep inside. I braved a look over my shoulder and saw pure fire in his eyes. This was going to be fun. He plunged his fingers in and out as I moaned and praised him. He continued rubbing and circling me as he ripped a condom wrapper with his teeth and spare hand. As soon as he fit himself with it, it was over.

He bent me over completely, as if he was picturing me back at laundry mat. I gave a small smile knowing this was probably what he was thinking. I did not hesitate. I was about to get the best of Jace, probably better than the girl who claimed him as hers had ever had. I felt every hard inch of him as he buried himself inside. We both cried out in unison as he pulled himself out fully again, rubbing my center with the tip of himself before thrusting back in even harder. He took me down on all fours, ramming into me while caressing my ass and circling his fingers on my sweet spot with the opposite hand. This is how I loved it, this is how I craved it, but I needed a little more.

“I want to see your face,” I told him as he circled his hips to make sure I felt every inch of him. He quickly turned me over and laid me on the floor, my legs hooked over his shoulders.

There it was, the look I was after. His eyes were intense, dilated, full of longing, hungry, and perfect, the look only a man gives when he is completely and utterly aroused and wants only one woman.

He was mine.

His pace was quickening as well as his intensity and I gasped as he used his finger to steal some moisture from me and brought it to his lips. As soon as he had a taste he withdrew himself from me and buried his face between my thighs, licking me from one end to the other, lapping me up and pushing his fingers in. He lifted my entire lower half and devoured me, licking and teasing, moaning as he worked me over thoroughly.

That was definitely the best of Jace, I thought as my orgasm shook me. I made sure not to claw too hard at his shoulders, wanting to leave no trace.

He brought his mouth over mine and hovered as he adjusted himself back to my entrance.

“Nadine,” he breathed my name and covered my throat with his kiss. “God.” He thrust himself inside again and slowly stroked in and out, my name on his lips, his hands covering my breasts in a caress. He slowed his pace to almost a dead stop, grinding every inch of himself into me with his hips. It was so good. Perfect.

“I want to come all over you.”

“So do it,” I murmured looking at him, taking in every second of his undeniable lust for me.

He picked up his pace until my pulse was pounding in my ears. I saw nothing but white behind my eyes as the second wave shook me. I finished in time to see him rip the condom off and scream out to me. I pumped my fist around him and cupped his sac to milk him of every last drop, feeling the evidence of him falling in hot droplets all over me.

I saw it in his face. I had just given him the best orgasm of his life. He was thankful. I gave him a knowing grin and excused myself to the shower.

“You can see yourself out. Goodnight,” I called out from the bathroom before shutting the door.

Once out of my scalding shower, I fully expected him to be gone. At least I hoped he would be. But he was waiting for me on the couch.

“I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye. That’s kind of messed up, Nadine.”

“Look, I know it is. And I know I’m not your typical girl, but this was casual sex, which is all I truly wanted from you. So can we just call it what it is? Say goodnight and goodbye.”

“You know I have a girlfriend but—”

“But nothing, Jace. That’s what attracted me to you in the first place. I don’t want to see you again.”

“So this is over?”

“It was over ten minutes ago.”

“Jesus, you really are cold.”

“And you really are as good as I thought you would be, so thanks … and goodnight.”

He walked toward me as I wrung my t-shirt in my fists, irritated already and praying he wouldn’t try any harder. “At least let me give you a little bit more,” he whispered in my ear as his pawed me in all the right places. I toyed with the idea, but dismissed it. I had the best of Jace. There was no more to get from him.

“No thanks, but I mean it, it was great.” I stepped out of reach and turned sideways to give him a clear view of the door.

“Unfuckingbelievable.” He seemed slightly irritated but shot a small grin at me. “I’ll be thinking about you.” He kissed my lips softly and turned to leave as I exhaled a breath of relief slowly so he wouldn’t hear.

“Thanks, Jace.” I gave him a genuine smile for not pressing the issue further and watched him walk out, taking one last peek at me, grinning and shaking his head. I got that a lot. None of it bothered me. The minute they left I was sure they were more worried about the guilt they were sure to feel. I counted on it. I counted on the fact that their current girlfriends would soon be treated better than they ever had, that they dove back into their current safe place and left me the hell alone.

Jace.

Feeling the Moment (Stand Alone) – Aug. 2014

Life ran by faster than I could blink it seemed. So many tears were shed, pain felt, and loneliness consumed. Now here it is another day that I don’t feel. Another day that I don’t live. Another day that I will wish I could have back.

Over the course of my life, I’ve learned a few things; disappointment, anger, loss… Loss I understood like no one else could possibly understand. But most of all, I learned that I can only rely on myself.

Life is not really what I have. It’s more of an existence. For so long, I longed for nothing, but to make it through a day. Then I meet River Monroe. Suddenly, thoughts I’ve never dared to think about were all that was on my mind.

My name is Kim Rose. This is my story on how one impulse turned my world upside down and inside out. For the first time in a long time, I was

Acknowledgements

This journey has been such
and amazing experience for me. I have learned so much, but nothing has been more important than finding belief in myself. Belief that if I work hard enough anything is possible. This lesson was not an easy one for me to learn, but the people that I have come across along the way have been such amazing support that it became easier.  I want to take this time to thank a few of them. They deserve to be acknowledged.

First, I want to start off with my girls
Kayla, Kristy, Leanne, Renee,
and
Mechelle.
The endless support and help with making my books polished has been amazing, but it is your friendship and our endless conversations, full of laughter, that have meant the most to me. If I could say one thing to each one of you that you remember it would be this:

We all fight our own demons and struggle down our own paths, but with amazing people to light the way makes even the darkest days seem bright.

Thank you so much ladies, truly from the bottom of my heart, you guys are aces in my book!

To
Vicky
, oh girl what can I say to you that I have already said a million and one times? You have been walking right along side me from the very beginning. Our endless chats about books and book boyfriends to your encouraging words with each of my books. I can tell you right now that Jake will not be enough thanks for everything you’ve done for me, but I think he’ll keep you occupied enough. HA!! I love you girlie!

To
Kylie
and
Ashley
, oh Lord what dare you say to to two crazy chicks? How about I lubbers you both so much! Yeah I think that’s a safe topic. Haha. You girls are like the best friends that a girl could ask for! You’ll be forever in my heart and I will always be there for you!

To
Allison
, Man girl what can I say… You are one of the best freaking people I have ever met. I’m so grateful to call you a friend. Our conversations cover such random topics, but we bonded over books and you entered my heart because of the amazing person you are. Don’t change. I’m always here no matter what. <3 Hugs! <3

To
Shannon
, we’ve been walking the same path, but at different times, always seeming to miss each other. Behind you, you leave a trail, a brightness, from your beautiful heart and loving personality. From the moment I met you until now, you have made an imprint on my life and on my heart that will forever remain. I don’t know what I can say to show you how much you mean, but from every text or message…the light you give grows brighter. I love you girl! *psst*

To
Kaylie,
My dear sweet, loveable Kaylie. You are just…simply…I’m at a loss for words. You’re friendship has been a guiding light as I weaved my way through my path and there is no way I can thank you for that. The strength you carry about you day in and day out is astounding and even more inspiring. Girl you are one cool chick! I love ya! Here’s to more time with laughs and inspiration.

To
Isa,
You are a driving force in getting my name out there. Without your constant support and ability to make me laugh even when it’s the last thing I want to do, I’m not sure I’d be this far. You are simply amazing and soon you’ll have your own book with your own book boyfriend hehehe. <3 Hugs! <3

To
Jennifer, Shawna, Kimberly, Kia, Amber, Kim B., Michelle, Kerry, Jamie,
(crap I know I’m forgetting someone), you girls are simply amazing. Each of you sprout wings and share you beautiful personalities with the world on a daily basis. Don’t let anything dim your lights. You are ALL in my heart and I’ll always be here when you need me and even when you don’t. <3 you all bunches!

To the
Beta Ladies
, you girls are one hell of an amazing group of women. Each of you so unique and talented, I’m winded by your support and guidance. I wouldn’t be here without each of you. So from my heart to all of you, Thank you so much!

To my
Readers
, what can I say. Without you guys, I wouldn’t be writing this out to begin with. I’d still have all these books sitting in a notebook on my shelf never to see the light of day. Because of all of you, I continue to type them out and thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to do something that I love. Each of you have touched my heart in a way I can’t describe. Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3 Hugs! <3

I am sure there are people that I’m missing and I’m so terribly sorry if I did. Please know that you are still important to me and always will be (even if I spaced and didn’t get you on the list). Thank you for reading another one of my books…Here’s to the next one y’all!!! *waves*
