She was mine before I ever laid eyes on her.
LeVan
It took an instant to know we were meant to be.
She wanted an escape and my arms were wide open.
She endured a life of pain. I could give her solace.
She saw baggage. I saw hope and connection.
But most of all, to her, I was forbidden.
I wanted her more because of it.
And just when I thought I had her, we were ripped apart.
One innocent act to escape forced our families onto a collision course.
I was fooled into believing she could risk everything for me.
Her hands were tied.
She was more of a prisoner than I'd ever thought possible.
She was just out of reach.
And watching, waiting and wishing wouldn’t bring her back to me.
But people like us never got lifetimes of happiness.
Moments, maybe.
We didn’t get fairy tale endings.
Our love story seemed destined to end in tragedy.

EXCERPT
Everything
happened in the blink of an eye.
Less than a
week after LeVan and his mother walked into the boutique where I worked, he and
I were together.
A couple.
In secret.
Although
there were few secrets in this small town, we tried. And probably failed. It
could’ve been that the rumor started right there in the boutique when I took
his hand and held on for too long. It didn’t matter. For one week, I spent
every spare moment with LeVan. I’d sneak out of the house every night Mother
was on one of her continual drunken benders.
The cat was
away, so this mouse got out, and boy did I ever play.
But it was
more than that.
What LeVan
and I discovered was that we weren’t just playthings to each other.
We were in
love.
Love at
first sight.
Love at
first touch.
And our
first kiss was nothing but magic. Then I gave myself to him completely. And he
did not take the gift for granted. LeVan treated me like a princess.
Tonight, it
was our one-week anniversary since the day in the boutique.
“Pretty
lady.”
I loved it
when his voice got all rough like that. LeVan Vanderbilt had a voice like sweet
cocoa, thick and rich, almost excessively so. It only got rough like this
because of one thing…me.
I absolutely
loved what I did to him—and what he did to me.
I loved him,
period.
The weight
of his dreads fell toward me, rubbing against my bare chest as he kissed a path
lower, lower, lower…
When he
pressed a kiss to the short, neatly-trimmed hair at my mound, I closed my eyes
with a moan and reached for him.
“Not yet,
pretty lady,” he said, nuzzling me.
“You’re a
tease.”
“And you
love it.” He bit my clit. I shivered at the sensations, hot and cold chills
licking their way up my spine as he licked his tongue straight into my core.
He growled
against me and I knew—I knew—that if I could just touch him, he’d
stop this and put his hands, his weight on me, thrust inside me and put an end
to this never-ending ache.
But he’d
pinned my wrists to the bed and now, as I arched my hips up to meet his mouth,
I moaned again, need driving me to the edge.
“Come for
me, baby doll. Come on, Thea…let me feel it.”
I came. It
wasn’t like he gave me a lot of choices.
When it came
to my body, he owned me completely and there wasn’t anything he couldn’t coax
out of me.
And just
when I thought I had everything I could ever need, we were ripped apart.
