All Chapters of Breathe Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Love can hit you when you least expect it. It could be a soft easy wind that caresses you and gets stronger over time till it absorbs into your body and heart. Other times it can hit you like a gale-force wind and take every breath you will ever have, and breathe life into the person who took it in the first place. Laken stole my breath.

BLAKE Laken. I’ve never heard that name before, but it fits her. She makes me think of a cool wind blowing across the lake behind my grandma’s house on the hottest day of summer. A wind that makes you turn your face up to the sky and beg for more. She has an intensity about her that draws me in. She also has spunk and I like that in a woman. A soft woman can’t handle my brand of sex. I saw how she was checking me out, and I could tell that I was affecting her just as much as she was affecting me.

BLAKE She was the last thing I thought of before falling asleep, and she is the first thing I’m thinking of as I open my eyes with the sun shining through the cracks in the blinds.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to have my hands on her body and my tongue on her skin all while I’m pulling on that silky hair of hers. I’m dying to touch her.  

LAKEN Jesus, help me because I don’t know if my heart can beat any harder without going into cardiac arrest. Blake is doing a good job of ruining every other man for me.  As I sit next to him in the car I can’t keep my mind off of that absolutely mind-blowing kiss. Hell, it was more than a kiss. That was like the joining of souls. I have never been more consumed by a kiss in my life. I felt like my body was going to combust, and I was about to climb him like a tree right there in my front yard.
