fight Ella’s demons—and face her own.Shelly throws light on the shadows of Chicago’s underworld, challenging everything she knew and the man she’s come to love.

Excerpt from Selling Out by Amber Lin
I opened my mouth another degree,
and he took full advantage, sweeping his tongue against mine. His hand touched
the back of my neck in a mirror image of my gesture, except instead of a
caress, he tilted my head back, deepened the kiss. He put me at a disadvantage.
Yes, I want that too.
His other hand fumbled briefly at
my jeans before slipping them down to my thighs. I felt helpless, blinded by
the dark, pinned to the wall by his body and my own clothing. Even my hearing
was altered, flooded by my harsh breaths and his. Any number of men had held
full control over my body before now, but this was Luke, and how quickly he had
done it, how easily he had rendered me willing and my consent irrelevant. I
moaned my approval.
“You’re doing it again,” he muttered.
“Doing what?”
“What you think I want.”
“How do you know it’s not what I
want too?”
He paused. “Is it?”
I didn’t know. A soft, almost
inaudible sob escaped.
“Shit.”
He pulled away, and I was sure it
was over. Just like in his apartment, he didn’t want me anymore. But in seconds
he returned, fierce, pulling at my clothes, tugging them down and away.
“Tell me to stop.” Harsh.
Guttural.
“No, no.” Against the wall, I
spread my arms like some sort of sacrifice, letting his hands and his curses
crash over me. “Don’t stop.”
His hands parted my thighs.
“You’re going to come for me, unless you stop me.”
I’ll make him want me. Both of us
so determined. He would fuck me, and I would come, and then where would we be?
Right here. No future, just sex. Broad fingers opened me for his tongue, pumped
inside. I pushed back, halfway there.
I discovered that he swore during
sex. I clenched every time, and God help me, he noticed, using it to bring me
closer. “So fucking wet,” he muttered. “This can’t be fake. You didn’t lube
yourself up before coming to see me, did you?”
That gave me pause, but then his
finger reached a spot inside me, and I cried out.
“Shh.” He stood up, though his
fingers stayed inside me, pressing right there, pushing and pulsing and oh
Jesus right there. His hand covered my mouth, muffling my cries and catching a
pool of tears on my cheeks.
“Let go, let go,” he muttered
against my ear, and I didn’t understand. I had come, what more did he want? He
explained with his hands, massaging my clit through the aftershocks until
suddenly lights burst behind my eyes, and I came weakly against his palm.

I can't wait to read this! Loved Giving it up!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! It was definitely different but I absolutely loved it. I think with Shelly as the heroine of this book we're in for a special story.
