She loved
me.
I failed her.
She loves
me.
I'll break her.
Tristan Westdyke seems to have it all:
he's handsome, athletic, smart, and admired. What people don't
see beyond the façade, though, is the pain and guilt eating away at
his soul. Blaming himself for the loss of another person, Tristan trudges
through life not allowing himself to
feel.
But
when the beautiful and energetic Katelyn Sharp barrels into his life, Tristan
is helpless to resist emotions long buried. A connection slowly grows between
the two, yet secrets and deceit threaten to shatter the fragile trust and love
they’ve found.
Can two people who have been hurt and
betrayed open their hearts up once more? Can both accept that all may have
happened For a
Reason?

“You scare me.” I
decided to go as honest as I could. My heart was pounding with both my
admission and something else I couldn’t identify.
She
scoffed. “Uh, do you see me? How can this—” she gestured
to herself “—intimidate
you?”
I
slowly perused her from her sandal-clad feet, up the short black dress, and all
the way to her now flushing face. “Yeah. I see you,” I
whispered as I peered into her deep brown
eyes.
She was
dumbstruck at my words and let her guard down for a second. Then she seemed to
snap out of it, shaking her head as if to clear her thoughts. “Screw
this.” Kate turned, breaking our stare down to jam her key into the
lock.
So
quickly that even I didn’t
know how it happened, I moved and suddenly I had her pinned against the wall next
to the door. Her purse and keys clattered to the floor.
“Hey!” she started to protest, but she trailed off as she
realized that our faces were inches away from each other—a fact that
I was now also painfully aware of. I had her hands restrained above her head
with both of my own, and my lower body was against hers so that she
couldn’t move. “Tristan, what—” she
started to ask.
“I don’t
know,” I managed to get out before my lips crashed into hers. I
moaned when her mouth immediately opened to me. And she answered me back with
her own sweet whimper as our tongues tangled together. She wiggled until she
was able to hook one of her long legs around my waist. I let go of her hands to
grab both of her legs, running my hands up and down her smooth thighs before
resting my hold under her ass so I could grip her tighter against me. I
couldn’t stop—I needed to explore all of her mouth,
memorize the sounds she made, and show her all the things I couldn’t
say with words.
After
I had released her hands, Kate ran them over my chest, causing me to groan and
push her harder against the wall, and then she tangled them in my hair. She
anchored me to her, and I was too far gone to care about what any of this even
meant anymore. Kate, Kate, Kate. I want you. But I know I
shouldn’t. I don’t want to hurt you, beautiful girl. Give
me what I don’t know I want.
Both our phones started to ring, the
piercing tones shattering the moment. And I wanted nothing more than to stay in
that moment—wrapped up in Kate. Kate was the first to break away,
breathing heavily. I leaned my forehead against hers, still holding her up. Her
eyes remained closed, but I kept mine open to watch her. I didn’t
know what to say to her now. No words could convey what had just happened
between us. All I knew was that I wanted more—more of her taste, more
of her moans, more of her pressed against me—but I didn’t
know how to tell her that. “Put me down,” she commanded
softly as she opened her eyes.
