It all started with the invitation. To my ex-fiance’s new wedding.
I should have ignored it.Thrown it away. Set it afire. But I didn’t. I replied.
With a plus one.
And then my assistant accidentally mailed it.
Enter
Hayes Whitley. Mega-movie star. The man who has captured the hearts of
millions. But I gave him mine years ago. He was my first love. He was my
everything. Right until he up and left to chase his dreams without so
much as a simple goodbye.
When
he showed up out of the blue ten years later, I should have known to
steer clear. I should have rejected his offer to take me to my ex’s
wedding. I should have never let him kiss me.
But I didn’t.
And
now we’re left wondering if the pieces of the life we once shared still
fit together somehow. First loves are hard to forget. The question is,
do we want to forget? Or do we risk the chance and see what happens
next?
I
hear my name. I think I do anyway, and it distracts me enough
momentarily that Hayes is able to grab and pull me tighter into him, the
cupcake now inches from my face.
We
stare at each other in a silent standoff, hearts racing and eyes
daring. His gaze flickers over my shoulder and then back to mine as I
prepare myself for the smash.
But it doesn’t come.
Instead he eases up and only dabs the frosting against the tip of my nose.
I sigh in relief.
Then gasp out in shock.
Because Hayes’s lips are on mine.
And
not just a friendly peck. Not hardly. The hand that held the cupcake is
now empty. Chocolate fallen by the wayside for a kiss. His fingers,
sticky with frosting, are on my cheeks directing my face. But there’s no
thought of the frosting he’ll get on my face or how funny it’s going to
look when we walk back to our villa because all I can think about is
Hayes.
I could tell myself I part my lips—grant him access—because I’m winded and need to breathe, but that would be a lie.
Because the minute his tongue dances against mine, all I want to do is
drown in his kiss. In the familiarity of it. In the difference of it.
The unexpectedness of it. The comfort of it. In everything about him.
Hayes Whitley is kissing me. Again.
Finally.
His
fingers are possessive—on the underside of my jaw and the small of my
back—and the soft groan he emits communicates everything his lips are
expressing and more.
His
taste consumes me. The chocolate on his tongue. The spark of desire.
The lick of lust. The sense of calm riled up by an overload of emotion.
My
hands slide up the plane of his back over skin heated by the sun and
slick with frosting. His muscles bunch beneath my palms as he shifts the
angle of the kiss.
His
tongue tantalizes and torments. Begs me to want more with its tender
caresses and then switches gear and demands me to keep pace. To allow
him to possess and claim.
I feel in droves. Want. Need. Lust. More. Too much. Not enough. Don’t ever stop. What am I doing?
It’s just me.
And Hayes.
And
the singular sensation of rightness he is making me feel. A sensation I
don’t think I had ever realized was missing since he’d left, but now
know I’ll never be able to live without.
New
York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary novels
that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy and a
little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged
heroes who we love to hate and hate to love.
She’s
a mixture of most of her female characters: sassy, intelligent,
stubborn, reserved, outgoing, driven, emotional, strong, and wears her
heart on her sleeve. All of which she displays daily with her husband
and three children where they live in Southern California.
On
a whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing.
Since then she has written The Driven Series (Driven, Fueled, Crashed,
Raced, Aced), the standalone Driven Novels (Slow Burn, Sweet Ache, Hard
Beat, and Down Shift (Releasing 10/4/16)), and a short story titled
UnRaveled. She is currently finishing up Sweet Cheeks a standalone novel
out at the end of 2016.
Her
plans for 2017 include a sports romance duet (The Player (#1) and The
Catch (#2)) and the Everyday Heroes series (Cuffed (#1), Combust (#2),
and Cockpit (#3). She’s also writing a novella for the 1,001 Dark Night
series that will be out in February 2017.
