SAIGE POV As I stood in line, tears streaming down my face, I couldn't help but dwell on Collin's words. Anxiety filled my chest and I had this feeling that I should turn back and start over with Collin. But it was fear that held me in line to buy a bus ticket out of there. I was afraid of pulling Collin down and not being the type of woman he and Finn were so desperately trying to pull out of me. At first, I was beginning to believe that I was the woman they saw but then again, with a mother like mine and the way I've lived, there was no way that woman would stick around for long. I hated that it was the truth, but I couldn't and wouldn't hurt Collin. Or even Finn. They both deserved better than me."Hi. Where to?" The woman at the ticket booth smiled warmly at me.I looked at the destinations on the board behind her and chose the first one that stuck out to me. "Los Angeles, please. One way." I didn't know a soul out west but it was the land of dreams, right? Besides, if I end up h
SAIGE POVAs Collin drove home, I found myself snuggled into his side, sitting between him and Finn in the truck. No words were spoken between us after Finn chewed me out for trying to leave without a word. We all just sat there in the peaceful quietness of the truck, enjoying the fact that I was still with them. I didn't plan on being anywhere else. Not ever again.Collin's hand slid over and squeezed my thigh, making a familiar ache slide between my legs and I had to squeeze them tighter to block the urge to jump his bones right here. My hand quickly flew down to his, squeezing his back. A low chuckle erupted in his chest and I wanted to smack him. He knew exactly what he was doing and it wasn't funny at all."What do you guys want for dinner?" Finn finally broke the silence in the cab as soon as Collin pulled into the driveway. My eyes instantly went to the house and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about all of the things I wanted to do to Collin in those four walls."Um, fend
SAIGE POVLying in bed while Collin showered, I figured I'd be passed out by now. Except I wasn't. Instead, my stomach had other plans while I listened to it growl and basically yell at me for not giving it food. So, I got up and headed into the tiny kitchen that was basically in the same space as the living room. Surely, Bryan wouldn't be upset if I took a little food. I'd replace it or leave money for whatever I took.As I began going through the cupboards, I noticed the guy had nothing but healthy food; which is great, but when a girl is stressed and hungry, she wants something quick and easy."Hungry?"The sound of Bryan's voice startled me as I spun around and stared at him. He was coming out of his bedroom in nothing but briefs. The guy's entire body was toned and tanned. And I won't lie and say he wasn't attractive, because hot damn. Except, as I looked at him now, I didn't feel my normal urge to flirt with him. All I could think about was Collin.Shit, maybe I have changed aft
SAIGE POVStaring down at me, Collin slowly slid his hands up my thighs until he held the sides of my panties. He gripped them hard, digging the material into my flesh before he tugged them down, leaving me exposed to him. And after tossing them to the floor, he went for my shirt next. The cool air teased my nipples, making them tighten almost immediately.Collin dropped to his knees, spreading my legs wide open with his hands on the inside of my thighs as I intently watched his face lower. When his mouth hovered above me, a small whimper escaped my mouth, begging him to keep going. My core was tight and my pussy throbbed for his attention. He slid his tongue over me once, making my body buck and tremble, and then he stopped."I'm going to show you how crazy you make me," he rasped before his tongue began teasing me again. My hands clenched the sheets below me as I threw my head back and enjoyed the moment. His tongue expertly tasted my lips until he found my clit, slowly circling and
COLLIN POV"I think the train that will take us out of the city leaves in a few hours. We have a bit of time to kill," I rasped the last part, reaching over to trail my fingers over Saige's bare knee. She shivered beneath my touch and stared up into my eyes with the hottest gaze I'd ever seen. Last night was a night I'd never forget and we were just getting started. I love that she allowed me to claim her like that; to let my caveman fly and bang my fists on my chest.We're sitting at the kitchen table at the moment and no sign of Bryan yet, which only made me want to laugh. I heard him come in early this morning so I knew he was home. And there is no way he didn't hear us last night. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire building heard us."You didn't get enough last night?" She asked, batting her lashes at me.Shaking my head, I grabbed her knees and slid her towards me, right between my legs. "Never," I rasped against her neck before I lightly kissed her there. She giggled and the
SECOND EROTICA Harper had been my best friend for as long as I could remember. Our mothers were best friends too, and I think that made us automatic friends. Our brothers, though, hated each other. They were polar opposites in every sense of the word, and they butted heads like crazy. Most of the time they couldn't even be in the same room as one another.When Harper and I were ten, we made a pact not to date each other's brother. It made sense back then when boys were gross and had cooties, but have you seen Asher Creed now?! I couldn't help but look at her stupid hot brother and not wonder what it would be like to kiss him. I know. I know. There was only one rule between us, and I wanted to break it in the most delicious manner ever.You'd have to be blind not to notice Asher Creed and every girl, including me, had at least one fantasy that involved him. He was the guy no one could have, yet he could have any girl he wanted. He wasn't without faults and had probably screwed over ha
After school, I followed Harper back to her place as I parked in my normal spot along the curb."Do you want to swim before dinner?" Harper asked as she unlocked the front door.It was a surprisingly hot day for Portland today and I could use a cool down after another run-in with Asher. He'd be home later and God only knew what he'd do to piss me off again. A cool down was just what I needed."Yes, definitely."We went up to Harper's room and changed into our bikinis. I basically had my own dresser of clothes here and she had a dresser at my place too. We were inseparable and always together, so it only made sense that we had our own spot for clothes at each other's houses.The house was still quiet when we left her room and headed for the pool outback. I was glad that Asher wasn't home yet and prayed like hell that he wouldn't show up until later. I seriously didn't want to have another run-in with him so soon after the first one.Harper threw on some upbeat music and then we jumped
"Hey, relax," Jake rasped as he lowered his face to my neck and bit me. I squirmed but he held me tight before he sucked on my neck next. His free hand slid over my body beneath the water and I held my breath in fear."Jake, let me go," I hissed. I tried to get away again as I twisted and bucked in his arms. "Get off!""That's what I'm trying to do," he laughed as his arm tightened around me. I could feel his half erection on my backside and I froze.There was zero desire that ran through my body. Jake was always doing shit like this to me. Always. It was as if he felt like he could do whatever he wanted to me and get away with it."Jake," Asher warned as his eyes turned dark and menacing, "let her go.""What?!" Jake protested as he bit my neck again and tried to grab my breast.I cried out and dug my nails into his arm. I felt totally violated and right there in front of him."I said let her go!" Asher barked as he swam toward us. Jake immediately released me, but not before his arm
