I
rubbed my chest, feeling the crack in my heart spread, shattering it into a
thousand pieces. How could I make her understand that I wanted to be with her,
but I wasn’t what she needed? I just had to tell her. Tell her how I
really felt and hope she’d
understand.
“Lexi, it’s
not that I don’t want to be with you, because I do. I want that more
than anything. It’s just
that…”
“It’s okay,
Raven, I get it.” She wiped her cheeks. “I’m not
what you want.”
Damn. She had it all
wrong.
“Hell,
you’re everything I want and more.” I cupped her face with
both hands. Using my thumbs, I wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks. I
couldn’t keep holding on to her. Either I needed to be with her or
walk away forever. But I couldn’t stand to think of Lexi being with
another man. Giving her virginity to another guy, even if he was better than
me.
“But you said you
didn’t want to be with me,” she
sniffed.
“Just because I said
I’m not good for you, doesn’t mean that I don’t
want to be with
you.”
She stared at me.
“I’m so confused, Raven.”
I grinned.
“It’s really not that complicated.” I took a deep
breath and lowered my head. Every force of nature couldn’t keep me
from being with her. Lexi was all I wanted and needed. I couldn’t
fight it any longer. The effect she had on me was like nothing I’d
ever experienced.
And I wanted more of
it.
Everything she had to
offer.
And
more.
Looking up at her, I said,
“You see, because not only do I want to be with you, but I also want
to make love to your body until you can’t stand it. Until your
begging for me to
stop.”
“What?” she
muttered.
“But not like this.
Not while you’ve been drinking.” I stroked my fingers along
her cheeks and her body shivered against my touch.
The need calling from within us
was strong. So strong I was ready to forget about everything I just told her.
But I couldn’t. I had to do this the right way. She at least deserved
that from me.
“Raven,
stay with me…please,” she pleaded and I almost said yes.
“I don’t want to be alone.” She released the
covers, exposing herself to me. Even with a strapless bra on, she had the most
perfect breasts I’d ever
seen.
“If I stay with you
that could be dangerous.”
“I like
dangerous.” She bit down on her lower lip, pulling off an erotic look
that revved up my hormones.
The rise in my pants told me to
get on with it or get out. “No, you like stupid and that’s
me.”
She let out a soft laugh.
“You’re not stupid, Raven.”
“Well, I’m
stupid, crazy for you.” It took all my strength to peel my eyes from
her body.
“Will you show me
just how crazy you are for me?”
Lexi knew how to tempt me. No
question about that. I kneaded my fingers through her hair and rested my head
against hers. I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself. The exchange of
energy between us was agonizing. Never had I wanted someone so badly before. My
soul called out to Lexi’s, dying to be connected with the piece that
had been missing. Lexi held a piece of me I couldn’t function
without. I needed her to be
whole.
Opposing Sides
(#1):
College senior, Lexi Thompson,
finds herself in a relationship to be wed to the university’s star
baseball pitcher, Collin Norris. Collin’s damn hot, but his lack of
spark has Lexi thinking twice before she says ‘I Do’. When
she’s forced to tutor bad boy football quarterback, Raven Davenport,
she soon discovers all the things she’s missing in her relationship
with Collin. Will she succumb to the temptations enticing her, or will Collin
be able to convince his sweet, innocent fiancée that his love for
her is genuine despite his lack of affection?
The Same Side
(#2):
The engagement’s off
and with Collin behind her, Lexi has decided that the temptations of Raven
Davenport are too strong to be ignored. It doesn’t take long for Lexi
and Raven to find themselves wrapped in each other’s affection, but
not without the challenges that life poses. But can she withstand the world
he’s created or will the forces that are against them rip them apart?
Love, faith, betrayal, and heartache ripple through their lives as they fight
to be on the same side.
The Winning Side
(#3):
Lexi’s determined to
keep her word and stand by Raven’s side because her love for him is
too strong to deny. As Raven learns to deal with the issues that are
destined to destroy him and their relationship, their love is taken to a new
level. As doors are closed and new ones are opened, Lexi and Raven find
themselves in a heavenly bliss, but not without the challenges from
Raven’s past. With a true test of love, Lexi and Raven have to decide
if they are willing to do whatever it takes to be on the winning
side.
