S. K. Lessly's Book Excerpts

Excerpt

​

The moment I made it outside, I saw her standing by the driver’s side of what I assumed to be her car, and Casper was on the other side.

 

Is she really leaving with him?

 

Feeling my temper rising even more, I moved purposefully toward her. The moment her eyes fell on mine, they grew.

 

Yeah, I’m coming for you.

 

Her shock quickly wore off and was replaced with resentment and a bit of anger.

 

“You can’t follow simple directions, can you?” I asked her once I was close enough for her to hear me.

 

“Directions? Are you kidding me? Is that what you called them? They sounded more like demands to me, and you don’t have the right to demand shit from me!”

 

I watched her lips as she spoke and fought the urge to put something between them to shut her up.

 

She folded her arms and looked up at me. The need to kiss the shit out of her grew stronger. The way she was pouting, how defiant she was standing, those lips of hers; everything about her was turning me the fuck on.

 

I knew it would be any second that she was going to say something that will completely piss me off and the shit would be on.

 

“That’s your imagination Raquel,” I professed.

 

“Oh, so you do know my name then?” she rebutted.

 

I glared. “Of course I know your name. What kind of shit-”

 

“Yeah, that’s right! What kind of shit is that you sending one of your bodyguards over to me because you’re too busy with that skank you were with? Well, fuck you, Angel! I’m not that hard up for your attention.” She shook her head and chuckled. “No, all I needed was a simple acknowledgment from you. All you had to do was wave or nod in my direction, but no, you chose to ignore me. Well, I have news for you; I will not be ignored. In fact, Dirk has proven that he could give me all the attention I need. And we were just talking about whose place we were going to go to; his or mine.” She then looked over at him and smiled. “I think his. That way he can-”

 

Now do you understand what she does to me? Do you see what I mean? She pushes and pushes until now I am losing my shit, grabbing her face, pushing her up against her car and sticking my tongue down her throat.

 

She resisted at first, but a painful growl escaped my throat, and she instantly opened her mouth to me.

 

Shit, when her tongue touched mine, I was fucking gone. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

 

I kissed her as if I couldn’t get enough of her taste because I actually couldn’t. I wanted more. I needed more. She moaned in my mouth raked her hands through my hair and gripped it tight.

 

Forgetting where I was, I gripped her naked thigh, thankful as fuck that she was in a dress and placed it up on my hip. She moved back from my lips quickly, just as shit was about to get deep, and I knew she felt it.

 

We stared at each other.

 

I couldn’t fucking breathe. Every time I’ve kissed this woman, it’s as if she takes that ability away from me. It had been three years, and I craved her now just as I did then.

 

“Shit, I’ve missed you,” I said to her because, hell, what else could I say? However, the crazy thing was, I meant that shit. I’d missed the hell out of this woman; this crazy, smart-mouthed, beautiful, sexy ass woman.

 

“I’ve missed you too, Angel,” she whispered, and I had to say I was thrilled.

 

“Why don’t you show me just how much?” I hissed.

 

“Yeah and how do you want me to do that?” she asked, but I ignored her.

 

Next stop: my place and under my sheets.

 

She leaned against the car and we watched each other thoughtfully. I couldn’t wait to get to her body. I caressed her through her clothes, stroked the thigh that I still had against me before I released it, ready to taste her the moment we were in my apartment.

 

Hell, maybe I’ll let her drive my car and I get my taste on the way. If I push the driver seat back, I can…

 

“How long are you home for?”

 

“Indefinitely.”

 

It’s about fucking time!

 

“Welcome home, baby.” My voice was uncontrollably profound and full of a need that I’d held strictly for her.

 

My eyes traveled down the top of her dress, to my exceptions, and then went to her eyes. “Do you have any idea how bad I want to bury myself inside of you right now?”

 

Raquel leaned into me and said, sweet as saccharin, “Really? Was it as bad as you wanted to with that girl who had her tits all over you in the club?”

 

She tried to push me away, but that wasn’t happening. I felt my anger starting to rise right along with my dick. I kept a tight grip on her waist.

 

Again, do you see who she is now? Do you see what she does to me? She’s my worse fucking nightmare.

 

I heard someone clear their throat, so I looked up across the car and frowned when I saw “Casper.” This motherfucker was still there? What the fuck?

 

“Is there a reason why you’re still here?” I asked him.

 

“Angel…” I heard her whisper, but my eyes were on my new adversary and, wouldn’t you know it, Casper seemed to have some balls.

 

He frowned and folded his arms. “Yeah, I wanted to make sure Raquel was okay.”

 

“Well, you can see she’s okay,” I replied.

 

“Uh huh,” he shrugged. “I’ll just wait until she tells me.”

 

I raised my eyebrows at the now dead man. “Oh, you’ll wait? Is that what you just said to me?!”

 

I let go of Raquel, backed up from her and walked around the car.

 

This motherfucker must think I’m someone else.

 

Realizing his mistake, he backed up from the car, but it was definitely too late. I saw Darrell coming up behind the little coward just as I moved from around the car. My mind pondered on what I could do to the little fuck. The steel behind my back was heating up, itching for me to pull it and release every frustrated emotion buried in me.

 

If he didn’t know who I was, he would in just a few minutes.
