**EXCERPT**
I
burrowed into my delicious rocker’s side, breathing in his manly scent,
a mix of leather and grapefruit body wash. I reached up to carefully brush a
long, chocolate-brown wave from Tyson’s full lips while he slept deeply. His
long, silky hair cascaded over the pillow; his square jaw was covered with the
beginnings of a beard because he hadn’t shaved in a few days. It made my sweet
rocker look slightly dangerous. Gazing at the three small scars nearly hidden
in his thick, dark eyebrows, I still couldn’t fathom how tough his childhood
was and how anyone could hurt such a beautiful soul.
My breath
hitched. I tried to memorize everything about him, to soak in every detail of
my gorgeous man. I knew I was about to hurt him, and it destroyed me. When I
traced my finger over a smattering of his rough stubble, he sighed in his sleep
and pulled me in even closer. I held him tightly too, resting my head on his
lithe but defined chest and gripped his hip, careful not to rouse him. I wished
I could gaze into the pools of his deep-blue eyes one more time.
If only I
didn’t have to leave him.
I was
moving to Bellingham to embark upon my new normal, living with a roommate in a
dorm and working toward my college degree in social services. Ty’s band
departed for their first tour in a few hours, traveling cross-country in a
small van for six months. Letting him sleep was important. It would be grueling
enough spending long hours in such cramped quarters without the added weight of
heartbreak. The least I could do was let him get some rest now.
So I laid
for as long as I could against my love and listened to his heartbeat. My mind
was a hamster wheel. Second-guessing. Third-guessing. Then—resolved. I had been
asked by possibly the most influential person in his life to do something for
Ty. For his future. As much as I didn’t want to, leaving him now was the right
thing for me to do. But it didn’t make it any less devastating.
When my
tears wet his chest, I knew it was time to go or I’d wake him. My heart seized
in agony at the thought of never seeing him again. I wasn’t sure how I’d
survive. Yet, I knew that I had to set him completely free, without any ties to
me, so he could embrace his shot at fame.
Maybe
someday Ty would understand why I left him.
Maybe someday he’d forgive me.
“I want you
to be sure about us. You should have a chance to follow your own dreams without
me holding you back, so you don’t regret anything.”
“Don’t be
ridiculous, Ty.” She kissed me, keeping her grip firm on my cock. “My only
regret would be if we waste any more time.”
“I’m not
sure what I’m doing, Z. I mean, you’re a virgin. I’m afraid that I won’t know
how to make it good for you.” My mind whirled, I was overcome with so many
emotions.
“I’m fairly
certain we will be able to figure it out, together,” she assured me. “I know
it will be good, there’s no way it won’t be.”
I couldn’t
help but sigh with relief. “Do you really love me?”
“So much! From the moment I met you.”
“Me too.” I
moved her so that she was straddling me, then gripped her ass and pulled her
core flush against my hard cock. Her heat surrounded me like a warm glove.
“Ohhh.”
Zoey braced herself with her hands on my shoulders, her eyes clamped shut as
she ground against my erection, trying to find the right spot. I brushed my
fingers lightly up under her top, stroking her sides before pushing it up over
her white, cotton bra to expose her stomach. My mouth caught hers and our
tongues danced again.
Tracing the
undersides of her breasts with my fingertips, I continued my exploration of her
beautiful body, cupping her heavy mounds and stroking up over the top of her
breasts to her creamy cleavage.
“Jesus.” My
dick swelled against the seam of her cutoffs when she circled her hips against
it. I licked and sucked the soft swell spilling over the top of her bra. My
thumbs strummed over her nipples, hardening them to bullets poking through the
cotton. I had to taste them. I couldn’t wait.
“Ty,
please,” Zoey begged.
Her
beautiful eyes were half-mast with desire when I clicked open the front clasp
to expose her luscious mounds tipped with taut, dusky-pink nipples. Fascinated,
I pinched each bud gently, alternating between pulling and stroking to watch
how she responded. Her little whimpers let me know that I was doing something
right. Groaning, I sucked each delicious nipple into my mouth one after the
other and swirled my tongue all around each taut peak. Lost in my worship of
her perfect breasts, I didn’t hear the door open.
“Oh shit,
sorry,” Connor shouted and immediately retreated. “I thought you took Zoey
home.”
Wrapping my
arms around Zoey and making sure she was flush against me, so her breasts
weren’t exposed, I held up one hand with my finger pointed to the ceiling and
demanded. “We need a minute.”
“Uh, yeah.”
Connor kept his eyes to the ground but held the door ajar about an inch.
“Everyone is coming to jam, dude, so get yourselves sorted.”
“Oh, God.” Zoey looked mortified. She had already redone her bra and pulled her top back down. “Did he see my boobs?”
“You’ve
come a long way from that run-down apartment, Tyson Rainier.” I beamed, proud
of him as we walked through the grand entryway into the open-plan
living/dining/kitchen revealing a wall of glass overlooking the entire city
skyline including the landmark we had spent the evening in. “Wow, just wow!”
“I guess
so.” Ty seemed a little reserved about the house. “Are you thirsty? I don’t
drink anymore, but I probably have some wine somewhere.”
“No, I’d
rather have some tea if you have it.” I sat at a stool at the expansive granite
island in his pristine chef’s kitchen, and my stomach growled embarrassingly
loud.
“What’s a
singer without tea?” He laughed and put the kettle on. “You’re hungry. I’ll
cook something for us.”
“No, I’m
fine.” My stomach protested with another growl and Ty arched a brow.
“Let me put
my line cook skills to the test, I can make us grilled cheese sandwiches.” Ty
opened the double-sized fridge and took out some cheese and pulled a loaf of
bread out of a drawer.
“I guess my
belly can’t say no to a hot guy cooking.” I nervously tried to cover up my
anxiousness with sass.
“I’ll just
be a minute. Please go sit down and make yourself comfortable, that couch is
fucking amazing and the view is something I never get tired of.” Ty busied
himself with the sandwiches as he waved me over to the living area.
I crossed
over to the living room, taking in the dark hardwood floors, plush, oversized
gray couch, and the gold and platinum records decorating the walls. Sinking
into the cushions, I looked out at the city, my mouth watering at the smell of
melting cheese. God, was I really here alone with Ty at his house? My heart had
been beating fast all night with adrenaline, and now it was in overdrive.
Despite how incredibly comfortable the couch was, I couldn’t stop fidgeting and
ended up sitting on the edge of the cushion watching Ty cook.
“Here you
go.” Ty walked over and handed me my tea and grilled cheese, then went back to
the kitchen to retrieve his and plopped down next to me, blowing on his own
cup. “So, you’re here.”
“I am.” I
blew on my tea too, looking up at him over the cup.
“I’m so
fucking nervous.” His cheeks reddened adorably.
“Me too.” I
blew out a breath that I didn’t realize I’d been holding.
“Should we
talk?” he asked.
“I guess we
should.”
“Eat
first?” He motioned to the sandwich.
“Yum.” I
took the plate and nibbled at the sandwich, licking the dripping cheese from my
lips.
Ty stared
at my tongue flicking against my lips, his mouth curved into a grin and then
expanded into a bigger smile. I couldn’t help but let out a burst of anxious
laughter. He let out a guffaw, and we just laughed for a few minutes, which
broke the tension completely.
When our
chuckling subsided, Ty’s expression changed, like he was hungry for something
more than a sandwich. I swallowed and licked my lips again; his eyes followed
my tongue, almost enraptured. The sexual tension was crackling between us and I
put down the sandwich on the coffee table.
Ty set his
empty plate down and sank back into the cushions. His arm skimmed the top of
the couch. Resting his head on one hand, he reached over to trace my lips with
his finger then caressed my cheek with his whole palm.
“You’re
still the sweetest and most beautiful woman in the world, Zoey. I’m not proud
of how I behaved over the years, I haven’t been a good man. An honorable man.
I’m not sure what to say to you, other than you were right to leave me back
then,” Ty said solemnly. “I would’ve been such a disappointment.”
“Oh, Ty,
that’s not true. You made it against all of the odds. But, as I’ve said before,
how I handled things will always be the biggest regret of my life.” I looked
down at the cushion, unable to look him in the eye. “I’m so, so sorry.”
“Zoey.” Ty
had other ideas and tipped his finger under my chin to make me look at him.
“Don’t you
think we could have made it?” I asked the question I’d asked myself every day
for eight years.
