~ Excerpt ~
What the hell am I doing?
I cling on to Dex for dear life: my arms wrapped around his waist, pressed
intimately against his body as the motorcycle weaves fast through downtown.
The city lights flash past us in a neon blur, bright and electric as the
adrenalin pumping through my veins. I can feel every rumble of the engine echo
up through my body as I hold on tight to the solid muscle of the stranger
between my thighs.
Not a stranger, I correct myself in disbelief. Dex Callahan. The rock-star. The
legend.
The man who wouldn’t let me walk away.
I take a shaking breath, the wind whipping around me as we speed through the
city. Under the helmet, everything sounds muffled, until I can only hear my
heartbeat pounding a scolding mantra with every mile, feel the contours of his
body through his leather jacket as I cling on for dear life.
This is crazy. I’m crazy.
No, a voice scolds me. You’re alive.
When Dex finally pulls the bike to a stop, I’m surprised to feel a flash of
disappointment.
“Pretty fun, right?” Dex laughs, lifting the helmet from my head.
I shake out my hair, wondering how much of a mess I look. “Motorcycles are dangerous,”
I say, instead of admitting just how good that just felt.
He smirks. “Welcome to life on the edge, darlin’. I knew it would look good on
you.”
I blush, looking away. Now we’re far from the party, and all the reasons I had
to run, I’m reminded just how far out of my depth I am with a man like him.
He’s probably used to groupies and daredevils -- rock chick girls who wouldn’t
think twice about leaving a party with a man they’ve never met before, not some
ordinary girl whose head is still spinning just from a motorcycle ride across
town.
“Where are we?” I take in our surroundings; an exclusive apartment block in the
arts district across town. There’s a marble lobby gleaming inside, and a
doorman poised to help us through the glass doors.
I catch my breath, feeling a sudden panic. He brought me straight to his place?
He thinks we’re going to...? “I didn’t mean--” I stutter. “When I said, we
should get out of there--” I stop, my face burning up with embarrassment.
“What?” Dex looks confused. Then realization dawns. “No, sweetheart. I wanted
to show you something, that’s all.”
He beckons me to follow him inside.
“Like your bedroom?” I ask cautiously, starting to follow. “Because I told you
before--”
“You’re not that kind of girl,” Dex finishes, smiling. “I know. But, I’m going
to let you in on a little secret.” He drops to a whisper, leaning in close
enough for me to feel his body, hot against mine.
“You want to be.”
~ Review ~
Huge fan of this series , so when I heard we were going to be meeting the Callahan"s starting with a tattooed rockstar named Dex I was all in! As usual Melody did not disappoint.
Dex Callahan......YES please!!! I wouldn't mind spending time in a dark alley with him AT ALL! This is a novella.....so yes, it is short....but jammed packed full of hotness and it will leave you wanting more.
Alicia is pining away for another but seems to lose herself in the moment with Dex. We get a hint that Dex is running from something in his past and I am sure it will all be revealed in Uninhibited coming in July.
