Blurb:
Amber Scott should be enjoying life as a college freshman.
She should be pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She should be
working hard to make sense of her precalculus math class.
She shouldn’t be waking up her college roommate with
screaming nightmares. She shouldn’t be flashing back, reliving the three weeks
of hell she barely survived last year. And she definitely shouldn’t be spending
time with sexy player Marcus Reid.
But engineering student Marcus is the only one keeping Amber
from failing her math course, so she grudgingly lets him into her life. She
never expects the king of hookups will share his painful past. Or that she’ll
tell him her secrets in return, opening up and trusting him in a way she
thought she’d never be able to again.
When their fragile future together is threatened by a
stalker Amber thought was locked away for good, Marcus is determined to protect
her. And Amber is determined to protect Marcus…even if that means pushing him
away.
I don’t know how long we’ve been chatting when Marcus glances over my shoulder, for a moment
lost in thought. He then closes the space between us, so less than a foot
separates us. His hand strokes up and down my hip, molding to my body. He lowers
his lips to my ear.
“If we’re gonna convince everyone you’re off limits, we need to do more than just stand here and talk. Unless you want people thinking I’m your cousin.”
“If we’re gonna convince everyone you’re off limits, we need to do more than just stand here and talk. Unless you want people thinking I’m your cousin.”
I swallow hard. “What do you have in mind?”
“Maybe this….” He brushes his fingertips against my neck and moves my hair back, exposing
my skin. His head drops and his warm lips teasingly caress my
neck.
Fortunately
if Jordan sees him kissing me, she won’t clue into what’s really going on.
She’ll think we’re hooking up after bumping into each other here.
Or at least I hope that’s what she’ll
think.
His
tongue flicks against the skin he just kissed. I jerk away.
Relax. Trent used to do that all the
time and you never freaked
out.
“Whoa, Kitten. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m not that asshole from the
party.”
“I know. It’s just…it’s just….” My voice fades away, drowned out by the
music.
“It’s just
what?”
I shake my head. “It’s nothing. I’m fine.”
Encouraged by my response, Marcus leans in and his lips meet mine, softly, sweetly. But
he’s not satisfied enough with that. His lips try to pry mine open.
His mouth presses against mine, hurting me, violating me. I want to scream for him to stop.
But that’ll make things worse. He always punishes me when I
resist.
My body tenses, heart beating loud and fast, breath equally fast and shallow. I squeeze my
eyes shut for a
second, fighting against the
memory.
Marcus pulls away and searches my face. “It’s okay, Kitten. I swear I’m not going to hurt
you.” His fingers
brush against my cheek. “You’re
safe.”
I can tell from his expression he wants to ask who
the hell
hurt me. I don’t want to tell him. This is my
secret.
