Sweet
Affection
by Grace Henderson
Synopsis
You can
choose your friends…
When Laurel
Matthews had a one night stand with self-confessed ladies’ man James Dawson,
little did she know that in him she’d find the type of relationship she thought
only existed in fairy-tales. They’ve gone through a dark tunnel filled with
exes, drama and heartbreak, and are now firmly basking in the light at the
other end. Having to navigate the world of a committed relationship, something
neither of them are used to, provides it’s challenges though. Especially when
both their careers seem to be reaching heights they only dreamt of. But James
and Laurel have the love and support of their friends and family, and love can
conquer all, right?
…But you can’t choose your family.
Tyler Reid is a drifter.
Drifting carelessly through bars, women, and life in general ever since he was
fifteen. If there’s anything life’s taught him, it’s the only person he can
rely on is himself. So when he gets the call from his mother, summoning him to
a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere, his first reaction is to blow
straight through on his Ducati, leaving as much destruction in his wake as
possible. That is, until he meets the blonde haired angel who seems like she
wants to make it her mission to save him. Determined he can’t be saved, he
pushes back, his mind set firmly on keeping his distance. But fate has other
ideas, and he quickly becomes entangled in a close-knit group of friends who
will ultimately see everything he’s tried the past ten years to hide. James and
Laurel’s story started in Sweet Reflection (to be read first) and as their love
continues to grow so does their circle of friends and family. But how will they
react when everything they’ve built together comes crashing down around them?
One thing’s for sure. Their lives won’t ever be the same.
Excerpt
-Laurel-
The door
opens and I don’t bother looking at who it is whilst I’m busy touching up my
make-up. Then the lock clicks and I swing round to see why whoever’s here has
locked it. Other diners may need to use it.
“What are
you doing in here?”
James is
leaning back with his arms folded over his chest, and his knee bent, shoe flat
on the wall behind him.
“You’re
here.” He shrugs, like it’s the most obvious answer in the world. My heart beat
speeds up as he walks towards me slowly. I lean my hip against the sink and
watch the way his shirt moves over his muscles. Every inch of him is toned and
strong. And those arms? I need them wrapped around me.
When he
gets within touching distance, his hand covers my stomach and he gently pushes
me back against the wall. My breathing stutters; it always does when he’s so
close. The smell of him and his aftershave wraps round me, making me feel
light-headed.
“For the
past year and a half, it’s been you.” He drops his head down to the crook of my
neck and ghosts tender kisses across my skin, the type that send shivers all
over my body, then shoot straight down to my core. “Doesn’t matter where I am
or who I’m with, you’re all I ever think about.” I bite my lip to prevent the
moan falling out, but when his hands move up the side of my body and graze
against my breasts, I whimper quietly. His fingers tighten their grip on me and
he pulls me closer to him.
“You have
such sweet skin.” He murmurs against my neck, then sucks it into his mouth.
Marking me no doubt, the ass. But those words don’t come out as he continues to
trail hot kisses down my chest, lingering on the swell of my breasts. I thread
my fingers through his hair, playing with the strands, and tilt my head back
against the wall, enjoying the way his stubble is tickling me.
His hands
travel up the back of my thighs, going underneath my dress, and my pussy throbs
the closer he gets to it. He squeezes my ass before moving his hands round to
the front and pulling my thong to the side. He looks down at his hands and
swipes one long finger straight through my centre.
“Fuck,
you’re soaked.” He says on a whisper.
I draw in a
sharp, shuddering breath, hands clinging to his arms in case my legs decide to
give out.
“Let’s go.
I need to feel you inside me.” I whisper back and his eyes flash with lust,
with need, but more than that, love.
“By the
time I’m through with you tonight, you’ll have no doubt.” He scrapes his teeth
over my earlobe then sucks gently on it. “No doubt that you’re everything.”
