Teaser Tuesday
“If we keep on, dinner will not
happen.”
“I’m reconsidering my earlier proposition.”
I smile fully as I run my nose along his. “You want
me?”
He groans softly against my lips as he nods his head, his
nose moving along mine. We’re basically one; we’re so close, and I don’t think
I ever want him to go anywhere else. The air around us is sizzling, and I find
myself fighting for my next breath.
“I want you so bad I can’t see
straight.”
Boarded by Love by Toni
Aleo
Coming September 8th, 2014!
Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies
and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself,
but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to
take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because
of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to
stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships
beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you
that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain
redhead on campus.
She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.
She’s my game changer.
He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what
I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary
feeling.
I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even
that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung
out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her
were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of
my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of
myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go
without again, so I work hard for every penny.
Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying
sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and
a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no
clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it
may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?
Especially when you’re boarded by love.
