Bulletproof (Songbird #2) by Melissa

Release Date: November 20,
2014
Morgan Pritchett doesn't need anyone.
Strong-willed and confident, she's the master of organizing and looking after
everyone around her. In her mind, she's bulletproof. But she has one weakness –
men. She can't seem to live without them, yet is unable to find her perfect
match. After yet another break up, Morgan promises her sister and best friend
that she'll write off men for the rest of the year. But then she meets Sean
Tate.
Sean Tate has worked hard to become a Hollywood
actor, scoring minor roles and slowly making a name for himself as an action
sidekick. After a chance encounter with the stunning Morgan Pritchett, he
decides to take a risk and put his dancing skills to the test by signing on for
the lead role in Superstar, a TV musical. He never thought he'd reconnect with
the girl who urged him to ignore his manager and be honest with himself, but
when Morgan shows up on the set as a production assistant, he realizes he's
found his ultimate weakness — her.
Their passion for dance and music will bring them
together, but will their relationship be able to withstand the forces
determined to pull them apart? As Morgan comes face to face with her demons and
Sean decides just how much he's willing to risk for love, these two lovers
discover something... they're not as bulletproof as they thought.

EPILOGUE:
~SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t read Fever~
ELLA
The shower was hot and divine, the droplets hitting my skin
made me want to melt. I was exhausted down to my very core. Gutting the old to
make room for the new was hard work. Every muscle in my body ached, but I was
so ridiculously happy it didn’t even matter. A smile crept over my lips as I
reached for the shampoo, squirting a healthy amount into my palm. I had
callouses on my hands and my knuckles were indented with various nicks and
scrapes. They stung a little as I rubbed the shampoo into my hair, but nothing
could wipe the grin from my face.
A song filtered up my throat as I spun to wash out the
shampoo. I went for Frank’s Fly Me To The Moon, belting out the song as my mind
wandered towards the man I wanted to kiss. Lathering up my loofah, I scrubbed
it up my arms, washing off the grime from another hard day’s work.
“Please don’t tell me that loofah is stealing my job again.”
Cole’s deep voice made me giggle.
“It’ll go into early retirement the second you get into this
shower.” I kept humming as I listened to him undress, my body already zinging
in anticipation. It didn’t help that Cole had joined in the song and was now
singing about how I filled his heart with song. I tipped my head back and
sighed, still reeling in the awesomeness that my life had become.
After Cole’s grand entrance back into it, he’d given me a
weekend of heaven before flying back to Chicago. I’d then had to wait until
after we’d both finished out our school year. I didn’t want to fly over for his
graduation, knowing David would be around. I couldn’t rub his face in it. I
just couldn’t. I was so incredibly happy with Cole; it was impossible not to
show it.
June 18th had been the happiest of my life. Cole had flown
across the country, I’d flown down and we’d run into each other’s arms at
LAX.
“Hmmm.” Cole’s large hands ran around my body as he pressed
his naked torso against my back. Ripping the loofah from my hands, he chucked
it out of the shower and took over, running his soapy fingers over each and
every one of my curves.
A soft moan formed in my throat, whispering out of my lips
as I rested my head against his shoulder and wrapped my hand around the back of
his neck.
He rested his chin on my head.
“So I just got a call from the architect.” His voice was
liquid soft and sexy, in spite of the fact he was talking business. I would
have ignored it if he hadn’t said the words I’d been desperate to hear all
day.
My eyes popped open and I spun in his arms. “What’d he
say?”
Cole grinned down at me, his eyes buzzing with the same excitement
I felt. “He’ll be here at nine tomorrow to show us his initial
ideas.”
I let out a squeal. Cole laughed at me, capturing my lips. I
went on my tiptoes and ran my fingers into his hair, loving the way his body
responded to my touch.
We’d basically spent the second half of June holed up in my
room...much to my aunt’s disgust. I hadn’t cared. I was with Cole and we'd had
major catching up to do, but as July rolled around we knew it was time to get
on with it, so we’d excitedly contacted a few real estate agents and the hunt
had begun. I still had five months until I was granted full access
to
my trust fund, but Cole’s was plenty healthy and was able to
get us started. We’d already received pre-approval from the bank and it was
just a matter of finding the perfect place.
Three weeks later, we did. It was an old store with a studio
apartment on top. It’d been abandoned years ago, but the rights for sale had
not been available until the owner passed away. For us, the timing couldn’t
have been better. After being handed the keys, we stood on the sidewalk in
giddy silence gazing up at what would soon become Reynold’s.
We were both getting a taste of our dreams. I was living
back in a place that felt like home. Our little apartment was just under five
miles from Pasadena Community College. I was cutting back to part-time classes
and would complete my degree over four more years. I wanted to be able to help
Cole with the pub. I would have quit college then and there, but Nina had
talked me out of it, convincing me that I could handle both.
“It’ll be busy, but you’ll never regret having a college
degree,” she’d said. “You guys are gonna be great. I’m so proud of you.” Her
eyes had welled with tears as we talked over Skype, making me want to
cry.
I still couldn’t believe Cole had left Chicago...and
them...for me. But he told me as long as I was there, he could live
anywhere.
“Ella, you’re my home and no matter where you go, I’ll
follow you. I’d walk a thousand miles, remember?” He'd leaned his forehead
against mine and I'd nearly died, but then he'd taken it one step further, his
expression softening to mush. “I want to marry you.”
My lips parted, my heart freezing still.
He’d grinned at me. “I don’t have a ring yet. Every penny I
have is kind of wrapped up in our future plans right now, but there’ll be one
coming, Miss Simmons...I just wanted you to know.”
I'm pretty sure I haven't stopped smiling since that day. We
might not be officially engaged, but our hearts got hitched a long time ago and
for now I’m happy to wait for my wedding day.
Cole’s tongue was burning as it slid into my mouth. He
pressed me back against the cool tiles, his lips working over my chin and down
my neck. I ran my fingers across his hard shoulders as his tongue traveled down
my body, hotwiring my brain and making coherent thought impossible.
“How much time do I have?” Cole murmured against my belly.
“Time? What’s time?”
He chuckled, blowing a raspberry into my belly button. I
gently yanked his hair as I giggled.
“Jody’s picking me up at seven.”
“And where are
you going?”
“We’re taking Morgan out for karaoke.”
“Again?” He looked up at me. “She’s not looking for that guy is
she?”
“The actor?” I chuckled. “No, she just needs some cheering up.
She still hasn’t found a
job and since her big break up with Brad she's been working
her way through a very lousy dating pool."
"I thought she was swearing off guys."
I shrugged, my insides pinching with worry. "Me too."
Cole's expression mirrored my disquiet, but I forced a smile, not wanting
to take my
concerns into the evening.
"Anyway, we have
to celebrate as much as we can tonight. Jody leaves next week. It’s
gonna be sad. We have to have as much fun as we can while
the trio is still together.” I tipped my head, water running off my hair and
splashing into his face. I laughed, brushing his slick curls off his forehead.
“I’m so glad I’ve got you.”
Cole ran his hands up my sides, squeezing my hips and giving
me one of his megawatt smiles. I leaned down and kissed it, pressing my body
against his. “So in answer to your question...” I softly bit his neck before
working my way up to his ear and nibbling on the lobe. “I’ve got as much time
as we need.”
Cole’s deep chuckle reverberated in his chest. “When it
comes to you, my love, there is never enough time.”
I grinned as his lips got back to work and I was sent to
heaven, the tune of Cheek to Cheek whistling through my brain as Cole and I
danced to our own shower song.
