Excerpts:
I
make it back to my dorm without any further mishaps. Shutting the door behind
me, I kick off my heels and pad barefoot over to my bed. I throw my bag onto
Freya’s bare mattress and lie back, my head hitting the pillow with a soft
thump. I’m exhausted. I close my eyes for a second and take a couple of calming
breaths, in and out. I need a few minutes to get my head together.
As soon as my eyes close, flashes of
seductive golden-green eyes and broad muscular shoulders invade my brain. Alec
Hawthorne. Holy hell. I let my mind
wander for a couple of minutes, imagining the feel of those strong hands exploring
my body, sliding slowly up my inner thighs. That big, hard body pressing into
me, pinning me to the mattress. My skin flushes as one hand reaches below my
waist, the other making slow circles around my nipples.
Just when the tension begins to build,
my phone rings. I jump, startled out of my daydream, and sit up clumsily to
reach for my phone. I don’t recognize the number.
“Hello?”
“Emma.” The deep, sexy voice washes
over me and I have to bite my lip to stop from crying out. Did he know what I’d
been doing? I shake my head to try and clear it. Of course not, how could he
know?
“Yes?” I try to sound normal but my
heart is suddenly racing.
“I just wanted to make sure you made
it back safely.” In the background I can hear traffic noises, like he might be
in the back of a taxi.
“Yeah, thanks, no more problems.” I
smile into the phone. It feels good to have someone worry about me.
“Let me take you to dinner.”
The offer is tempting. My stomach is
empty and the only thing I have are some stale peanut butter crackers from the
vending machine. But . . . the effect he had on me was a little intimidating.
Do I trust myself around him? I don’t want any romantic complications.
“Say yes, Emma. I’ll pick you up at
seven.” His tone is confident, commanding even. It didn’t leave a lot of room
for debate.
“Sure, okay. Where are we . . .” The
phone clicks before I can finish my question. He cut me off! But I can’t stay annoyed; I’m going to see Alec
again.
