Always on My Mind Excerpt

Climbing from the car, she walked with a sense of purpose to the house. Once she stepped
inside, she spotted Ethan walking around, talking on his phone. He took one look at her and
seemed to know something was up.
“Listen, Mom, I need to go. I’ll talk to you soon,” he said before saying goodbye. He placed
his phone down on the kitchen island but didn’t make a move toward her. “Do you want to talk
about it?”
Parker shook her head and tossed her purse on the sofa on her way over to him. “I do not.”
He got that heated look in his eyes that she loved so much. His hair was a bit messy–as if
he’d been raking his hands through it–and even his glasses were a bit askew. And yet he still
turned her on.
When they were toe to toe, she reached up and gently pulled his glasses off, placing them on
the island next to his phone. Her hands skimmed his stubbled jaw before running them through
his hair.

“Something I can help you with?” he asked gruffly. He hadn’t touched her yet–not
physically–but the way he was watching her was almost as potent.
“As a matter of fact, you can,” she whispered.
“I’m all ears.”
The heat pouring off of him pulled her in until Parker simply wrapped herself around him. “I
want you to come upstairs with me and let me have my way with you.”
He arched one dark brow at her–probably because up until now they’d been spending their
nights in his room. Tonight, however, she needed things to be on her own turf, even if it was just
up the stairs.
“I’m all yours,” he whispered, and Parker stepped back and took him by the hand and led
him up to her room.
And then said a prayer of thanks that it was clean.
At her bed, she gently pushed Ethan down onto the mattress before crawling up and over
him. Together they got him undressed before Parker stripped herself down. Her hands wandered
of their own accord and she loved hearing his hiss of breath and feeling him jump when she did
something she knew he really enjoyed. There was power in this–power that she desperately
needed tonight. And as she touched and licked and kissed just about every inch of him, she
realized how much this man was coming to mean to her. He wasn’t just her roommate or her
lover; he was her friend and possibly the only real friend she had right now.
Ethan’s hand gripped her hair and gave a gentle tug, getting her attention. He was breathless
and there was a fine sheen of sweat on him and she’d never wanted him more. The look on his
face told her he was right on the edge with her and, as much as she would have loved to continue
to dominate for a little longer, she loved the way it felt when he took control.
In her mind, she still had the power.
She was simply letting him temporarily take the lead.
Leaning in close, she nibbled her way up his jaw. “Take me, Ethan. Take me now.”
And he did.
