Excerpt #1
Prologue
STANDING ON THE slick, damp rocks smoothed
over by centuries of wind tossed waves, my heart stopped. Piper wore nothing
but her swimsuit and the temperature was cool enough to make our noses blush
pink. Hunger lingered in her eyes, making my own desire burn through me, the
frigid air forgotten in the heat of a deep ache and longing pummeling me
unexpectedly. I ran to her, embracing her thin frame and attempted to stifle
the goose bumps flaring across her skin. We were on vacation on one of my
favorite beaches of the Oregon coast. A place to forget the insanity of college
life.
The alcove was a small private beach, free
from any barrage of tourists. Leading her over the mess of rocks and sand to
the blanket I had set out for our picnic, I carefully cradled her body as we
slipped down onto it, our lips devouring each other’s until they felt downright
bruised. Hers were bright pink, full and swollen from my assault as I explored
them. Our skins had turned from frozen to searing, the wind all but forgotten
except for toying with the ends of her long brown hair with unseen fingertips.
It lay fanned out underneath us, a warm pillow for her head.
I’d never met anyone like Piper. She was
the vision of my dream woman, the one I never knew I had wanted; always
spontaneous and filled with a vibrant life force so few possess. I reached over
and undid the ties to her bikini, raking my fingers down her sides, desperate
to devour every last bit. She was soft and her curves supple against the hard
rocks pressing on us. We didn’t care, we were lost to the world. We could’ve
jumped up and rushed into the aged beach house a few yards away, where the fire
burned warm and the bed creaky but comfy, yet even that was not a concern. All
that mattered was kissing her, everywhere, everyplace in every way to make sure
some sort of fiery warmth caressed the cold away and our wanting satisfied.
Shivering from my touch, she opened her
hooded eyes, glazed with lust and most definitely matching my own. Her fingers
curled around my blonde hair, as she whispered my name “Sasha…” before her
voice ebbed away and my lips found hers once more. It was there that I gave
away my heart, before all the wrong snaked into our lives back home. Before all
the flighty decisions and selfishness had sent us spiraling into oblivion,
leaving us broken. I wanted it back, all the ‘before’ and ‘once upon a time’s’.
I still did, now more than ever before. Salvaging our hearts made me determined,
it was the only way either of us could really live again.
