What if the person who stole your heart wasn't who you thought they were?
When my parents passed away, I grew up fast. Learning to stand on my own two feet has been a challenge, but I'm making it... my way. I make no apologies for the path I've chosen. My choices have served me well, but no one knows the real me.
Except one man.
He's a mystery to me. He's controlling, demanding, and he has me wrapped around his little finger. Anything he wants, I'll give it to him. The hours we share together aren't about love. It's just sex. Hot, dirty, passionate sex. It was never supposed to be anything more than that.
Until everything changed.
Now, I'm more confused than ever. The more I learn about him, the less I seem to understand. What I do know is that I'm falling, and I have the feeling when I land, it's going to hurt.
~*EXCERPT*~
I rap my knuckles on the door twice—two quick, rapid taps. It’s
our signal. Sometimes, I pretend that this is a little game we play to keep the
intimacy alive, but the reality of it is that the man behind the door is more
concerned with secrecy. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to guess why.
I don’t know what possessed me to accept His
invitation, but I’ve been coming here every second Thursday and every first
Sunday for months, ever since he’d taken an interest in my routine. He knows
nothing about me, and I know nothing about Him, except that he likes
control, an occasional glass of scotch, and he fucks like a god.
If I had to explain it, it’d sound
crazy. The truth is, I have no idea how I got here. It just happened one day,
and it keeps happening. And I’m not inclined to
stop anytime soon.
He could be married. He could have kids. He
could be a drug smuggler. I have no way of knowing, but I know
that the few hours I spend in his bed are some of the best, most
exhilarating moments of my life. At least when I am old and gray, I’ll be able
to say I had lived.
The door cracks open revealing nothing but
darkness and I am sucked inside by a strong, unyielding arm. A squeak of
excitement leaves me as I am whirled around and my back is slammed up against
the door.
Hard, punishing lips crash down on mine, and a
hot, wet tongue forces its way past my teeth. Imoan shamelessly as my
purse drops to the floor and my hands find the short fine hair that I
know to be as black as the midnight sky.
My mystery man is always hungry after watching
me dance.
Ripping the button on my jeans free, he
plunges his hand into my panties and groans as his fingers part my moist folds.
“Jesus fucking Christ. Always so wet,” he mutters as he nips my jaw, and then
begins moving down my neck.
I am always ready for this, for
Him. Maybe it’s because he’s my only source of sexual release besides my
fingers since I broke it off with Eli last semester, or because he is so
talented in the sack. But the truth of the matter is that a part of me gets off
on the mystery. Our sex is just that—sex. It’s wild and dirty and passionate
and honest. Strip away the mystery, and you lose all of that. Maybe
not right away, but one day.
Relationships almost always have an expiration
date. I’m not naive enough to think our arrangement doesn’t, but at least I
know I won’t lose anything in the process. When my mystery guy gets bored, I
figure I simply won’t see him again.
~*REVIEW BY ASHTON*~
I'm rating Dance For Me by J.C. Valentine
FOUR strip me down LEAVES!
Dance For Me is a story about Josephine (AKA Joe). She's a college girl by day, stripper by night. She has been seeing a "mystery man," one of the club's patrons, casually for a few months. He's hot one minute and cold the next. Definitely not Mr. Forever.
The story takes an interesting turn when Joe attends the first day of a new Art class and in walks her mystery man from the club. But it's not another student; it's Professor Ransom Scott.
Let me state for the record, I'm always down for a hot-for-teacher romance novel. It's cheesy, it's predictable, and I devour every single page like an innocent school girl. However, this story has little twists of its' own to keep the reader's attention from page one to the very end.
