Blurb
The
fourth in the Inside Out erotic romance series by New York Times
bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, this steamy novel resolves Chris
and Sarah's relationship and leads into Mark's story.
"Chris
and I have faced our demons and bared our souls to one another in
Paris. Now that we are back home in San Francisco, I want to believe
that nothing can tear us apart. Not Ava’s accusations against me to
the police, or Chris's fear that he will destroy me as he feels he
did Amber. And not Mark, who was once too intimately a part of our
lives, and who I can see crumbling inside out. He believes he is
invincible, just as I want to believe Chris and I are invincible. We
have to be invincible. We need each other too much for any other
ending.
Excerpt
The
elevator dings, and I jerk around to face the exit that leads
directly into our apartment. Like the first night I came here, I have
an inescapable sense that once I pass through the door, I’ll never
be the same again. Life will never be the same.
I
realize Chris isn’t touching me anymore. He wasn’t touching me
that night, either. It’s as if he feels I have to make the decision
to move forward on my own, and some part of me knows why. He needs to
know now that home with him is still home to me. It reminds me of why
we connect, why we are those missing pieces of a puzzle that have
found a perfect fit. No matter how perfect his being imperfect makes
him to me, he will never see himself as I do. He will never feel he
is not flawed. He will always need me to be his eyes, and he is mine.
I
walk into the apartment, the glossy, light wood beneath my feet. Our
suitcases are already sitting by the entryway, brought up from the
service entrance. Intentionally repeating what I’d done during that
first visit here, feeling that’s what he wants, I travel down the
steps to the sunken living room. I drop my purse on top of the coffee
table as I pass and keep going until I stand in front of the
floor-to-ceiling window. Flattening my hands on the glass, watching
the orange glow of the sun fade into the water, I see the stars begin
to illuminate a city as shrouded in secrets as Chris and I once were.
But now our blank canvas is inked with colors, not fears, and love
has blossomed where there was once only passion.
Music
begins to play and I smile when I hear “Broken” by Lifehouse,
amazed that Chris would actually remember the song he’d played that
first night we were together. I’m
falling apart,
the lyrics say. I’m
barely breathing.
I’m not falling apart, but as Chris steps behind me, his heat
radiating through me, I am definitely barely breathing.
He
caresses my coat off my shoulders, and this replay of the past sends
an erotic thrill down my spine. As his hands fall away from me my
lashes lower, my breath hitching as I anticipate his touch, waiting,
wanting, until finally his hands settle possessively on my waist. He
leans into me, and the feel of the thick ridge of his erection
against my backside is impossibly arousing. A delicate, enticing
brush of his fingers sweeping hair from my neck follows and rolls
over me like a warm sun expanding through a newly open blind.
“Put
your hands on the glass above you,” he orders softly.
The
command thrills me, and the temptation to do as he bids, to relive
our first night together, is a powerful one. Yet I have the unnerving
sensation of also reliving the uncertainty I’d thought we were
beyond. I don’t understand this feeling, and I don’t like it.
Desperate
to drive it away, I turn to face him, momentarily overwhelmed by how
tall and broad, how perfectly male he is. And as I blink instead of
speak, he claims control again. He presses me against the window, his
powerful thighs frame my legs, his hands brand my hips.
His
head tilts, the stubble of his jaw rasping deliciously on my skin, as
he announces, “I’m going to fuck you against the window again.”
Please.
Yes. Don’t make me beg,
I think, and the rest of the world begins to slide away. There is
only this man, the blistering heat he creates in me, and the foggy
certainty that I’d had something important to say. He nips my
earlobe, erotically licking away the pinch he’s created, his hands
traveling upward, over my rib cage, his fingers brushing the curves
of my breasts.
My
nipples tighten and the low thrum he’s created in my sex, over
hours of verbal teasing, blossoms and intensifies. “Chris,” I
whisper, a plea for more in my voice. For him. I want him, all of
him.
“Hands
over your head,” he orders again.
I
want to obey. Being at this man’s mercy is the biggest adrenaline
rush of my life, but that feeling is clawing at me again, the sense
that all is not right. Leaning into him, I ball my fingers around his
shirt, and search his handsome, unreadable face. “Are we okay?”
Surprise
flashes in his eyes, followed by that indefinable emotion again that
I want to call vulnerability but isn’t. I don’t know what it is.
He cups my face. “I need you too damn much for there to be any
other answer.”
