~Excerpt~
John stepped in and
closed the door. “That isn’t the reception I was hoping for.” He locked the
door.
“And what reception
was that? I couldn’t get the parade together for you since you never called to
tell me you were ever coming back.” I never looked up while I talked, but I had
heard him lock the door and my excitement grew. If I looked up, he would’ve
known I wanted him—despite how indifferent I was trying to be.
I should’ve kept my
eyes on him. He was next to me before I knew it, and he startled me as he
twirled my chair around and knelt down in front of me. “I like you in skirts,
Abs.” He slid his hand up my thigh.
“Jo–John.” I stopped
his hand. “You don’t get to ignore me for ten days and then come waltzing into
my office expecting me to drop my panties for you.” I turned back to my desk,
proud that I had stood my ground. I hadn’t done that before.
John sighed and got
up to go back to the chair in front of my desk. “I’m sorry, Abby. I’m a fool
that had to figure out a few things, but I figured them out, and I’m here now.”
He watched me work in silence for a few minutes. “When can you get out of here,
so we can have a proper celebration?”
“And just what are
we celebrating?”
“Us.”
I didn’t know if I
had heard him right. I wanted to jump over the desk and onto his lap, but I was
scared that I had misunderstood what he was saying. I swallowed. “Us? What do
we have to celebrate?”
“Why don’t we talk
about that over dinner? So, when can you go?”
“Why do you
automatically assume I’m free for dinner—or anything else, for that matter?” I
was still pissed he hadn’t called for ten days and came in as if nothing had
happened.
“You’re pissed. I
get it, and I deserve it. I’m in town for a few days, and if you change your
mind, give me a call.” He was up and had the door open before he finished.
“Are you going to call
me back this time?” I was still hurt, but didn’t want him to leave.
“No, I’m going to
answer and not let it go to voicemail. I really am sorry, Abs. When you want
me, call me, and we’ll talk over dinner.” He turned and walked out.
I stared at my
phone. I wanted to call him back to the office desperately, but I didn’t want
to seem too desperate. Who was I kidding?
I picked up the phone.
He didn’t answer the
phone, but stepped back into the doorway with a huge smile. “I thought you’d
never call.” He locked the door again and was back by my side with just a few
large steps. He lifted me out of my chair and put my arms around his neck.
“This is the greeting you will greet me with from now on.” He slapped my ass
and kissed me hard. “Understood?”
I grabbed the bulge
in his jeans. “Keep ordering me around and slapping my ass like that, and I’ll
never touch your little friend here again.” I squeezed. “Understood?”
A slow smile spread
across his face. “Completely.”
I tried to not
smile, but failed. “You just took that as a challenge.” I turned back to my
desk.
John grabbed me and
pulled me to him. I placed my hands on his chest to brace myself for impact
before I slammed into him. “I’m not finished with you yet.” He cupped my face
and brought it to his. He kissed me so softly and sweetly that I had trouble
catching my breath. I was glad to finally have something good steal breath from
me. I gripped his shirt, trying to pull him closer.
He stopped kissing
me, but still held my face and looked in my eyes. He whispered, “I love you,
Abigail Hughes.”
My eyes shot open
wide as I tried to push on his chest. I needed to be out of his grip, but he
wouldn’t let me go. “You can’t love me. I’m no good for you.”
He pulled me to him
and wrapped his big arms around me. “It’s scary, isn’t it? To let yourself be
this vulnerable with someone again takes a lot of trust—and I’m very happy and
honored you decided to trust me.”
~Review~
I read “Liv’s
Existence” and I when I found out that she was writing a book about Abby I knew
that I had to jump right on board to help promote it. When we met Abby from the
first book we see her as having everything all together, but there are deep
dark secrets to her that we get to see this time around. We also get to see Liv
try to get back her life after her run in with Adam. There were so many twist
and turns and secrets that was reveal that you will not want to put this book
down. I loved what BL did this time around with the story, she made you see
that even though Liv and Abby were only strangers they had a lot in common, not
just the evil that they both had to endure with Adam. I have this book sitting
on my kindle for a while and I was planning on reading it once the blog tour
was close, but I couldn’t do it because I was putting the cover reveal together
and read an excerpt from it and knew that I had to read it I couldn’t wait to
read it. BL did an excellent job with writing a very full filling and gripping story,
I cannot wait to read from her.
~About
Author~
B.L. Mooney started writing when the
voices and storylines in her head ran out of room. They were getting too
cramped and neither B.L. nor the characters could take it anymore, so she did
the only thing she could do--she made room. She always knew she wanted to
write, but vowed to make time for it later. Now that she's made time for
writing, most everything else falls to the wayside. That seems to suit the
characters that keep popping up just fine.
B.L. lives in the Midwest and her
other talents include in-demand cookies, a very dry sense of humor, and stealth
eavesdropping. Some mannerisms, attitudes, or twists come from random sentences
picked up while passing by strangers. So speak up the next time you have
something to gossip about. You never know, it may just end up on the pages of
the next book you read.
