Exclusive Excerpt:
The sound of voices gets louder as I make my way through the
now dark guesthouse to the bedroom. Leaning against the doorway into the room,
I can just catch the last few sentences exchanged between the women sitting on
the big bed. It's obvious from the tearstained faces that some emotional stuff
has gone down and I feel guilt eating at my insides. But then I hear Katie say
that me walking out earlier meant I must have regretted what happened between
us, I have to set her straight. She can't be further from the truth and it's
time she knows it.
The moment her head swings around and her eyes meet mine, everything
else disappears. I barely notice Emma leaving. In a few steps I reach the bed,
lean in and pick Katie up.
"Whoa!" she calls out, scrambling to hold onto my
neck. "Whatcha doing?"
"You in my bed means I can't think, and I'm having a
hard enough time thinking around you. We need to set some things
straight." I tell her, trying not to get lost in the feel of her soft body
against mine, her subtle scent teasing me and her restless fingers playing
against the short bristles in my neck. My dick, however, is a goner, and there
is no way to hide it when I sit down on the couch with Katie in my lap.
"Stop squirming, you're making it worse,"
When she throws me an irritated look I'm glad to see the
fire back in her eyes. There she is.
"Okay, enough of the manhandling, Caleb," Katie
bats at my hands as I shift her around so she faces me. The old tank top and
shorts she wears as PJs aren't doing much to cover her and I can't help the
tortured groan that slips from me. Fucking hell, this is gonna be torture, with
her nipples poking through the threadbare material. Right in my face.
"What the hell is this? I honestly don't know whether
I'm coming or going with you."
"Shhhhh, don't get upset," I try to settle her
before the tears I hear wobbling in her voice start flowing. "I just
needed a minute."
Cupping her face between my hands, I tilt her head so I can
look her in the eye. "This I have wanted and waited to do for so long, I
need to make sure I don't miss a thing."
Her eyes are big and a little uncertain and her lips are
perfectly parted when I brush my nose along hers, breathing in the soft pants
of her breath. A light brush of my mouth over hers, barely skimming, and then I
taste the length of her full bottom lip with my tongue before sucking its plumpness
in my mouth. Fucking heaven. Her taste is heaven and I need more. Katie's
fingers rubbing against my scalp is all the encouragement I need and I finally
let go of my hunger for her and take her mouth. Jesus.
Delicious wet heat meets me when my tongue plunges between her lips. Someone
groans... and in the now furious tangle of lips and tongues I can't tell
anymore. I want inside her. In one twist
and without my mouth ever leaving hers, I have her below me on the couch, and
I'm grinding my painfully throbbing cock between her legs. It isn't until she
wrenches her lips from mine and murmurs, "Caleb..." that I realize I
am fucking humping her like some deranged rutting animal. I shoot back upright
and move to sit on the coffee table, my head in my hands.
"Fuck!"
Why? Why does she make me lose all control when control has
always come so easy?
"Are you gonna walk out of here again?" The amused
tone of Katie's voice tells me she may be a little more attuned to the struggle
I'm waging than she was before. "Because, that would seriously mess with
my self-esteem, you know; getting rejected based on my abilities for giving
head and kissing?"
I throw my head back and laugh. "Oh sweetheart, you
couldn't be further from the truth if you tried."
Against Me Synopsis:
Patience has always been Caleb Whitetail's
strength. Quiet and unassuming is what you see with the GFI investigator, but
the blood boils hot right under the surface. He kept his distance for years
only to see the woman who has held his attention almost lose her life not just
once, but twice. He is done standing in the shadows.
Katie Acker, once a tough and athletic security specialist
now struggles daily to walk. The closest to family she has are her colleagues
at GFI. Especially the man who saved her life and always has her back. So when
she unwittingly becomes the focus of a Mexican cartel, it’s no big surprise she
finds him right by her side.
With the combustive change in their deepening bond, Katie
and Caleb do not see the oncoming danger - until it surrounds them.

Freya Barker Bio:
Freya Barker has
always loved being creative. From an early age on she danced and sang, doodled,
created, cooked, baked, quilted and crafted. Her latest creative outlets were
influenced by an ever-present love for reading. First through blogging, then
cover art and design, and finally writing.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, she packed her two
toddlers, and eight suitcases filled with toys to move to Canada. No stranger
to new beginnings, she thrives on them.
With the kids grown and out in the world, Freya is at the
‘prime’ of her life. The body might be a bit ramshackle, but the spirit is high
and as adventurous as ever. Something you may see reflected here and there in
some of her heroines.... none of who will likely be wilting flowers.
Freya craved reading about 'real' people, those who are
perhaps less than perfect, but just as deserving of romance, hot monkey sex and
some thrills and chills in their lives – So she decided to write about them.
