Excerpt
âSeriously? I thought youâd be all over that.â The woman was one of the most tenacious I knew. No way sheâd just roll over and hide her head in the sand. That wasnât Sabrina.
âYeah, I guess itâs taking me a minute to come to terms with the fact that my whole life has been a lie.â She swiped suspiciously at her eyes. But she couldnât be cryingâher voice sounded too flat and matter of fact. âI thought you of all people would get that.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
âOh come on. Youâve spent the better part of two years pushing everyone you know and love away from you because you survived when most of your crew didnât. It doesnât take a psychologist to see that you have a serious f*cking case of survivorâs guilt.â
âF*ck you.â She didnât know what the hell she was talking about.
âAlready have.â Her smile looked more like a snarl. âWouldnât mind having one last throw though.â
âYouâre nuts.â
âTakes one to know one.â
I snorted a laugh. Christ, how could she be so cute while being all angry and plastered?
âIâve heard that angry sex is hot. Maybe we should try it.â
I about swallowed my tongue when she said that. While I was busy sputtering, she leaned over and kissed me. Her hand cupped the side of my face as her lips covered mine.
Contrary to her angry words, she was just as soft and delicious as I remembered. She moaned deep in her throat, and I lost it. I took control of the kiss, moving my lips over hers, relearning everything I forgot I knew about her.
I pulled her onto me until she straddled me then pulled her face down to mine so I could kiss her some more. While I was busy kissing her, our hands roamed. I had my hands full of her amazing tits and was thinking about the best way to get her bra off. Because I loved her breasts. They were gorgeous and soft and just everything. I had to have more.
Sabrina mustâve thought the same since her hands raked down my back, her nails scoring my skin under my shirt.
I stiffened.
That used to be something I loved, but not anymore. I couldnât bear to even look at that part of me in the mirror, let alone touch it. I sure as hell didnât want her to feel my f*cked-up skin.
A prickling sensation swept over my scalp and my body heated in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with the alcohol or the gorgeous woman on my lap. I pulled back and gulped to keep the champagne down.
Sabrina slumped into me with a moan. âIs the room spinning, or is that just me? Or maybe itâs you.â
F*ck. I held her a little bit away from me, wary she was going to puke. She blinked blearily back at me and smiled.
I sighed. âYouâre wasted. We canât do this.â
What had I been thinking? Everything about this was so f*cking wrong.
But I still really wanted to. My dick throbbed impatiently under her round ass.
We hated each other. Or something. I couldnât remember exactly. Something else held claim to the majority of my blood flow.
