yet Cass has never considered him as anything other than that. Rob is the
school sports star and becomes obsessed with Cass when he loses a bet because
of her. As the relationship between Cass and Flynn develops, Rob's interest
becomes increasingly malevolent. One night changes Cass's life and threatens to
destroy her relationship with Flynn, as well as her future.
Book Excerpt
After dropping down to plant a soft kiss on my forehead, he sat back on
his knees. “I can’t take any more tonight, Cass.” As much as I wanted to continue, I didn’t
want to push him: partly out of fear, as this was so much further than I had
expected to be three days into a relationship; partly because I knew how
embarrassingly close I was to completely letting go at that moment.
“OK. I guess I’ll go to bed then.” I tried not to sound too
disappointed.
“Cass, I want to carry on more than anything right now but we would end
up regretting it. Trust me, you, and that, is all I’m going to be thinking
about for hours.”
“OK.”
“Don’t just say OK. Tell me what
you’re thinking.”
“Why? I agree. We should
stop.” I think frustration was making me
stroppy.
“Really? Because stopping then
took every ounce of self-control I have and, if you had done the same to me, I
would be doing whatever it took to change your mind.” Maybe it was frustration that was pushing
Flynn as well.
“What do you want me to say, Flynn?
That I am so turned on right now I am struggling to even string a
sentence together? That, even though we
probably would regret it, I don’t want to stop?
That there is no way I’m going to be able to sleep in your bed tonight without replaying every second of that? I’ve never so much as kissed a boy before and
you have got me ready to give you everything so quickly – it’s scary how much I
want you. So sorry if it’s not the
response you were after. I’m doing the
best I can.” Although we were talking in
whispers, there was an angry edge to my voice.
“You’re amazing. And that’s so what I needed to hear. I haven’t felt like this before either and I
need to know that you feel the same. I
don’t want to push you but I don’t want to be the one making all of the
decisions either.” He took my face in his hands and kissed me. “And, yes I’ve changed the sheets, but you
should know that I lay in that bed last night thinking of you…” The raised eyebrow that accompanied this
remark was an obvious sign that he expected me to respond in disgust.
“Yeah, well that will probably be me tonight so, if I were you, I’d make
sure to change them again tomorrow!” I
returned the eyebrow raise, blew him a kiss and left him laughing.
“’Night, Cass.”
Night, Flynn.
About the Author:
I am a new British writer.
Obviously, I love reading and reading about reading. My taste goes from
Shakespeare to John Green...and much of what lies between! Dickens, check. Austen,
check. Atwood, check.
Over Christmas 2012, I discovered the joy of new adult fiction and, inspired by Colleen Hoover and Tammara Webber, I decided to try my hand at writing my own NA novel.
I love the friendliness of the Indie writer community and have been overwhelmed by the support of followers interested in my journey. Please feel free to monitor my publishing progress via my Facebook page :-)
