Excerpt:

Sawyer

My throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart didn’t know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. β€œDid you leave me all this to show me the life you could’ve had, but didn’t? Why!?” I pounded the wheel again and then again, and again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was the redness of my own heated rage. β€œYou’re a fucking coward! You fucking COWARD!” I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my fingers.

Strong hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. β€œI like it when you swear,” he said, pressing close.

β€œFinn, get off me! Get off me! Let me go!” I wailed, struggling to free myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the air as he evaded my every move.

A growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.

β€œLet me go,” I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. β€œI don’t have time for your broodiness right now.”

Finn held my wrists together with one hand. β€œNo, of course you don’t. You’re too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.”

β€œLet me go,” I repeated.

β€œNo,” he said between clenched teeth.

β€œJust go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!” I wailed as I pounded against his stone chest.

β€œYou don’t want to hit me,” he warned, his eyes hardened.

β€œThen let me go.”

β€œWhy?” He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him. My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs. Β 

β€œBecause she did!” I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue gaze. β€œShe could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldn’t make the right decision and I love her. I love her…but I hate her. I hate her so much…so…” I was interrupted when Finn’s lips pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to fight him off, but I didn’t need to, he pulled his lips from mine.

β€œStop doing that,” I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt the conflict had everything to do with me.

And kissing me.

β€œIt’s your fault that I do it,” Finn said, his voice deep and smooth against my chin and then my neck.

β€œSo that’s your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?” I asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my core. β€œThank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate it,” my voice cracked. β€œBut you can just leave me alone now. And please, STOP kissing me.” My words a whisper.

β€œI’m going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,” Finn stated as if I didn’t have a say in the matter.

The early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each other’s air.

β€œWhenever you want to kiss me?” I laughed. β€œI don’t understand you. I don’t understand any of this. You’re always mad at me. Why did you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when you’re always mad at me?”

β€œIt’s when I’m pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,” Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning with confusion.

β€œDo you always kiss everyone you hate?” I asked, yanking my lips from his.

β€œDoes this feel like hate to you?” he growled pushing his hard length between my legs.
