Promise Me - Sexy Excerpt © Hilary Wynne 2015 “You trying to dunk me with that sexy little body of yours. You know that won’t happen, right? I’m all about you wrapping your strong legs around me and rubbing yourself against me though.†Julian’s eyes are sparkling with amusement. I put my lips to his ear and respond seductively. “I can’t wait to get out of these wet clothes and rub my body up and down yours. But if you want to fuck me right here, right now, I’m all about that.†I’ve felt Julian’s erection against me since I wrapped my legs around him, but I can feel him harden even more with my offer. When I pull back and look at him, I see the amusement is gone, and lust has taken over. Julian keeps one hand wrapped around my waist and moves the other under the water. He slides my shorts and panties off, balls them up, and sticks them in his shorts pocket. “Don’t lose those. I need to be able to get out of the water.†Julian winks at me and kisses me sweetly as he slides his fingers into me. I grind my hips into him and he thrusts inside of me. I whisper in his ear as I reach below the water, pull his shorts down, and take him in my hand. “I want this.†Without taking our eyes off of each other, Julian guides his shaft into me. The water makes it a little more difficult and a little uncomfortable at first but, as soon as he’s all the way inside, my body begins to relax. His movements are slow and easy, and as I enjoy the feeling of fullness he has created, I hear voices behind us on the shore. I glance backward and see a couple walking near the water with their dog. They try not to look, but they can’t seem to help themselves. I look down and see the lower halves of our bodies are completely covered. There is no way they can see what we’re doing, but I imagine they have a pretty good idea. I look at Julian, who is now rubbing my clit with the hand that’s underwater. I must have a naughty look in my eyes. “That turns you on, doesn’t it? You like that those people wonder if we’re fucking, don’t you? If they’re wondering if my dick is inside of you.†I grind myself into his hand; I can’t help but moan as his fingers work their magic. “Yes.†“That’s so fucking hot, baby. I want you to cum for me. I want you to look at me and let go, sexy girl.†I wrap my legs tighter around Julian and contract all the muscles in my lower body as my orgasm starts racing through me. I don’t take my eyes off him, and just as I’m about to finish, I feel his thrusts speed up a little as he unloads into me. His orgasm surprises me a little. I didn’t know he was so close. “I didn’t know you were ready to get off.†That makes him chuckle a little. “I’ve been turned on since you put those tiny shorts on. Watching you run makes me hard. Seeing how your body moves, and thinking about it under me moving like that. Watching and feeling you get more turned on when you thought we were being watched. Listening to you tell me you were going to tie me up. Are you kidding me? I could’ve cum an hour ago.†      
  Have you ever woken up one day and said, “Today’s the day I’m going to do (insert thing here)?†Well, I did, and the result is my first novel, Stay. I always thought of myself as a decent writer, and then a trip down memory lane through my ninth grade book of poetry confirmed it. I realize that I have always had a romantic side and a way with words. With support from my husband and kids (and an unspoken agreement to leave me alone for a few hours every night), I embarked on this incredible writing journey. I’m originally from sunny Southern California and spent my summers in South Florida. I attended college at FSU and received my Masters in New Mexico. I finally settled in the Washington, DC area. My happy place has always been anywhere near the water. When I’m not writing, I help run a business with my husband, watch an inordinate amount of sports (my kids play something 365 days a year), indulge my competitive spirit on the tennis court, and spend time with my awesome family and friends. I am an avid reader, but find my characters feel neglected when I hang out with other author’s characters for too long. When I do read, historical fiction is my favorite genre. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures, places, and times. I feel so blessed that my love of books inspired me to finally do something that I forgot I had always dreamed about doing. My someday has arrived!        HOSTED BY:  Review by Brittany Julian and Alexa continue their story in book number three. At the end of Hold On, Julian and Alexa have talked and decided they were going to try again. But there’s one giant problem that could make or break this relationship… Luke. Alexa has grown throughout this series and now stands her ground when her and Julian start to argue. She believes in their relationship and wants it to work. But things come to a crashing halt one morning as Julian was making breakfast. Imagine your life and everything you know it to be changes in an instant. One sentence, one admittance just breaks it all. The person whom you thought would love you unconditionally turns their back on you and you’re just cohabitating. There’s no love, there’s nothing worth fighting for. Except Alexa knew things could be better. She stuck around, waiting for Julian to realize that what they have is epic and extraordinary. Will Julian finally come around and realize that love is enough? AHHH. I LOVE Hilary Wynne. I remember the first time I read Stay. I fell in love with the story, with the characters. I became captivated and enthralled. I was raptured by Julian and Alexa. In Hold On, Hilary had my heart racing, my butt on the edge of the chair. My knuckles were white from gripping my Kindle so hard. Hilary knew what it would take for the readers to feel suspense. And she does the exact same thing in Promise Me. Every turn of the page, you wonder if that’s the page where it all comes out. And then once that happens, you turn each page, hoping it’s the page where Julian realizes he’s being an ass. I know a lot of people that read Stay and Hold On believed that Lexie was stupid and annoying for running all the time. Well, when you experience what she has and find the strength to stay, let me know how you do it. But that’s not the point here. In Promise Me, you can tell a HUGE change in Lexie. She’s strong, she’s a fighter. She’s grown in so many ways! There were moments where I mutter under my breath “Punch her!†And Lexie, being the strong woman she is, resists the urge and instead makes a witty comeback. This book is definitely the best out of the three that Hilary has written so far. It’s suspenseful, definitely steamy and hot, and one that will keep you from sleeping at night. It’s a definite page turner! I highly recommend this book! You will not want to miss out on the conclusion (or is it?) of Alexa and Julian! Video Review by Brittany
