Excerpt (I Remember You)
Samantha pulled up to
the pump at the gas station and got out. As she watched the numbers on the
pump, her mind started to wander. She sighed and crossed her arms as she
thought about a few weeks ago when she’d broke up with Jeff, the guy she’d been
seeing for about a year. What’s wrong with me? Jeff was a good guy. He was good
looking and a successful lawyer. He treated her like a queen. Most girls would
kill to date a guy like him. She didn’t feel anything with him – no passion or
excitement.
The pump clicked as it
stopped and Samantha put the gas cover back on. She’d forgotten her bottle of
water for yoga class, so she ran inside the gas station to get one. She didn’t
want to be late for class and not get a decent spot, so she trotted inside and
grabbed the first bottle she saw from the cooler. She took it to the counter
and paid. As she turned to leave, she ran right into someone else approaching
the counter and dropped her water on the floor.
“I’m sorry!” She bent
down to get her water as the person she ran into did too.
“Hello Samantha.” A
deep voice filled her ears as the stranger handed her the water. Her heart
started pounding. Could it be? She looked up quickly. It was Lance!
“Hey Lance. What’re
you doing here?” She asked nervously. She was surprised to see her old
boyfriend at this gas station, let alone in town. He was a successful rock star
now and she knew he lived in LA. She tried to casually look him over. He’d
filled out some since they’d been together. His shaggy blonde hair was cut
shorter now and he looked older, more mature. She had to admit he looked good.
Time had been very kind to him.
“I had some business
to take care of here for Mom,” he replied.
She smiled. Always
such a mama’s boy. “How is she?” Samantha had always liked his mom. She’d
always told Lance to treat her better and that the two of them were going to
get married some day. Boy did she get that wrong!
“She’s good. How are
you?” He looked down at her with those piercing gray eyes. For a second she
wanted to wrap her arms around him like old times. She’d never forgotten what
his hugs had been like.
“I’m good. Busy
writing. My first novel comes out in about a month.” She looked down at her
shoes nervously, shaking the thought of his arms around her from her mind.
“That’s great, Sam,”
he said with a smile. “I know how much you always loved to write. Congrats.”
She wasn’t sure why
his words of approval made her feel so good. She glanced at her phone. She was
going to be late for class if she didn’t leave soon. “I actually was headed to
yoga class so I should probably get going.” She looked back up at him. “It was
good seeing you,” she said softly.
He smiled at her, the
corners of his eyes crinkling in the way she’d always loved. “It was really
good seeing you too. Take care.”
She clutched her phone
and water and headed out of the gas station, her heart pounding hard in her
ears. Samantha took a shaky breath as she got into her car. Trying to get her
bearings, she sat for a minute before starting it. She couldn’t believe she saw
Lance after all of these years. She didn’t think she’d ever see him again here
in town.
Samantha started her
car and headed off to class. She was looking forward to yoga. Maybe it would
clear the mess in her brain that seeing Lance had created.

Excerpt (Home Sweet Home)
Later that night,
Samantha was in the bathroom getting ready for bed while Lance was performing
his nightly ritual of checking on Emma before coming to bed. She was going to
miss these little routines their family had.
She glanced at herself
in the mirror. She’d managed to slip on the sheer, lacy black teddy Lance had
bought her in Vegas when they got married. He had a thing for lingerie despite
the fact he couldn’t keep it on her for longer than a few minutes. Tonight
would probably be no exception.
She turned off the
bathroom light and climbed onto their king size bed to wait for him. They had
designed their bedroom to be a sanctuary, a place to relax after long months on
the road or in LA while he was recording. There was a fireplace and a small
sitting area and Lance had to have a big screen TV. There were times when they
would get home from LA and they’d spend days in this room. She loved it, but it
would be empty without Lance.
“Must’ve worn her out
at the park today; she’s out cold,” Lance said as he walked into the room. He
shut the door behind him and his eyes widened when he saw her. “Holy shit, Sam.
What are you trying to do to me?”
A shiver went down her
spine; the teddy had its desired effect. Lust and desire were written all over
Lance’s face. “Oh nothing, just getting ready for bed,” she stated
nonchalantly.
“What-the-fuck-ever,
woman,” he mumbled, pulling his t-shirt over his head and tossing it across the
room. He undid his belt and had his jeans and boxers off in record time. He
hopped onto the bed by her and pulled her under him. His erection was hard
against her thigh. That didn’t take long.
“You know I love that
thing on you,” he growled into her ear. “And I’ve been semi-hard since earlier
this afternoon. I’m not going to play around right now, Sam. I need to be
inside you.”
His words sent a spark
of desire straight to her womb. She reached up and cupped his face in her
hands, looking deep into his blue eyes. “Then take me, Lance. Make love to me,”
she whispered. She didn’t need foreplay tonight either; she needed to feel him
inside her. She needed to be close to him tonight.
He made a sound deep
in his throat and kept his eyes on hers as he thrust inside her. She moaned
softly and arched beneath him, savoring the feel of him filling her. She
wrapped her legs around him and ran her nails down his back.
They made love the
rest of the night, dozing on and off in between sessions. They touched and
kissed each other all over, sometimes taking their time, sometimes with a sense
of urgency.
