Book Excerpt
"It's okay
to care..." I whisper, as he
slightly shakes his head side to side -but it isn't saying no. Its saying
something else. Before I can contemplate anything further, his hands rush
toward my cheeks and he presses his lips urgently to mine. Its intense. I can
feel his fingers grip tighter into my flustered face, grasping them so tight
they felt numb. Perfectly numb. We are all tongues, and lips. His kiss is urgent.
Desperate. And oh-so amazing! Who knows how much time passes, but eventually,
once we are both completely breathless; we stop. Separating just so our lips
are no longer touching and our hot, steamy breaths cascade before us.
"I can't
risk you. I won't."
I pull back
slightly so I can see his eyes - the master key to our connection. I am flawed
every time I look into them. They are no longer closed off and rigid, but
fragile and vulnerable; and it stirs something deep inside me.
About
the Author:
From the earliest age I was a born storyteller.
Ask my parents and they will tell you I had a gift for making a simple event seem like an elaborate one. Purposely? No. Innocently? Yes. It was my imaginary world that initially led me to believe I wanted to be an actor. All of that role playing and living in fantasy… it was an obvious direction for me. However, becoming quite uncomfortable with the limelight quickly saw that dream diminish.
Over the years I turned my world of fantasy into stories, and eventually began writing them down. Before I knew it, ‘Cut’ had been completed.
