Dear amazing readers, Crossed Lines is here! NSFW Excerpt: He stares at me then, his gaze intense. His blue eyes are the color of the noon sky on a summer day in Boulder. His hair the color of wheat. But his gorgeous granite jawline is tense. “Are you sorry?” I finally ask. He doesn’t respond. Good. He’s not sorry. Neither am I. Crack! Another lightning bolt and thunderclap in unison. This storm isn’t ending anytime soon. And I can’t bring myself to feel bad about that either. “Fuck,” he says again. “Fuck what?” I raise my eyebrows at him. He glares at me, his jawline going even more rigid. “Fuck you, Tabitha. Fuck you.” I gasp and step backward. He’s angry. Really angry, and I don’t have the slightest idea why. I draw in a deep breath. “Well…fuck you too!” He steps toward me, grabs me, and leans down to my ear. “That’s exactly what I want to do,” he whispers. “I want to fuck you, Tabitha.” My body goes cold. Both in a good way and a bad way. Then hot. How do you feel hot and cold at the same time? It’s a little stifling in the barn, although it’s raining outside, the water pelting on the roof in a discordant rhythm. My body is humming with desire, and all I want is more kisses. And more… More of what he wants. Part of me wants to say, “Yes, take me right here. I’m yours. I’m willing to do whatever I need and whatever you need.” But the other part of me knows this isn’t a good idea. Henry is still dealing with the fallout from Ralph’s death, and Angie has told me he’s having a hard time coming to terms with it. I don’t mean anything to him. This would simply be an escape. “Did you hear me?” he whispers. “I want to fuck you. I want to rip your clothes off right here and fuck you in the barn.” GRAB CROSSED LINES TODAY!
