~ Synopsis ~
Jaxon
is the guy she’s supposed to avoid.
K.C.
is the girl he won’t let get away....
K.
C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves
her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes
crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to
complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse,
trouble is living right next door.
Jaxon
Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to
stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl
who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has
brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of
luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As they grow closer, he discovers
that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing
the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible.…

“You’re afraid of yourself,” he said
flatly. “Not me.”
And then he backed up, looking down at
me." And that’s why you’re gutless, K.C." All the softness from his
voice was now gone. “Now I have to shower, and you need to leave.”
And he turned around and strode for the
men’s locker room.
I shook my head.
He was wrong. I wasn't gutless. Why did
he keep saying that?
I sniffled and cleared my throat,
standing tall. “Maybe I just don’t want you,” I blurted out and damn near
smiled when he spun around, looking surprised. “Maybe I just don’t want you,
Jax. Did you ever consider there might be one woman in this world that doesn’t
pant after you?”
And I breathed out a small laugh as I
spun around and headed for the door.
But before I even reached the handle, an
arm circled my waist, yanking me back into a warm body, and I gasped just as my
hair was swiped to the side and a hot mouth was on my neck.
Everything fell apart. My knees buckled,
but he held me tight as my eyes closed, and my neck fell to the side, inviting
him in.
Oh, my God!
It felt so good. I couldn’t think. I
couldn’t pull away. I couldn’t stop him. His mouth was like hot water pouring
over me, creating a blanket of heat. His teeth grazed my skin, rough but not
hard, and he slid his lips and teeth over the sensitive area under my ear, and
I wasn’t sure if he was kissing me or getting ready to eat me.
He left short but deep kisses across my
neck, at the base, and under my ear. His tongue flicked my ear lobe right
before his other hand reached around and turned my chin to him.
And then his mouth was on mine. I moaned
and gasped, probably sounding like I was in pain, but I couldn’t help it. The
tornado between my legs made my skin tingle.
Jax’s tongue found mine, and I groaned
into his mouth, inhaling his scent that reminded me of summer. Of sweet cotton
candy on a Ferris Wheel and cool water on hot skin.
The heat, the wetness, the taste,
everything was hard and fast as his lips worked mine.
Keeping the same arm around my waist,
his other hand left my face and dove straight under my skirt and into my
panties.
“Oh,” I whimpered a muffled groan into
his mouth that still held me hostage. What was he doing? I needed to stop this!
But my eyes fluttered as his smooth
fingers dipped into my center, swirling the wetness already there around my
clit.
And then his mouth left mine, and he
yanked me up off my feet and growled in my ear.
“You’re so wet for me, K.C.” His voice
was hard and threatening. “You're gutless, helpless, and a fucking liar, too.”
And then he dropped me on my ass, and I
fell to the mats, shaking with confusion.
All I heard behind me was a door open
and close, and I knew I was alone.
Bringing a shaky hand to my mouth, I
sucked in air like it was going out of style. “Holy shit,” I whispered.
