It’s all a game until they’re betting with their lives. Alaya Matthews is in search of freedom. Tired of her mundane life, she packs everything she owns into two bags and heads for Europe. Her plan is simple: see the world and be adventurous, don’t get tied down, don’t settle for less than her heart’s desires, and never fall in love. However, Alaya didn’t plan for Cole Ashford. Drawn to her love of life, Cole wants to know how to live again. For seven years he’s been dead inside, and the numerous threats hanging over his head have finally caught up with him. What Cole doesn’t realise is accepting Alaya’s help will mean confronting every part of his tainted past. Alaya is desperate to know what haunts him, and she’s so certain he’ll reveal it she invents a bet he can’t refuse. One is never enough though, and as they grow closer together, the more daring their wagers become. Neither of them will back down from a challenge, but the stakes are being raised. Gambling on Cole may cost Alaya her heart, or even worse, her life.

I leaned in, desperate to feel him. Finally, his lips grazed mine in barely a whisper of a touch. A moan of protest slipped from my lips when he parted and the musical sound of Dustin’s husky laugh caused me to shiver. “We shouldn’t be doing this,” he murmured, shocking me when his lips scraped my ear. “I really don’t care.” Dustin cupped my jaw, his thumb swiping over my cheekbone. The touch drew my eyes to his. “I should though.” I rested my head further into his palm and covered the back of his hand with my own to keep him there. Turning, I pressed my lips to his palm. “What’s the worst that could happen?” “You could break me.” I nipped at the tip of his finger when he trailed it over my bottom lip. “Aren’t we both already broken?” “You could shatter me like no one else, Taz.” Rather than meet my eyes he stared off into the distance over my shoulder. “You could destroy me.” I reached up, taking his jaw between my fingers and forcing his attention back to me. “I don’t want to.” “That doesn’t mean you won’t.” “No, but it means I’ll do everything in my power to try not to.” The resolve in his eyes wavered. He couldn’t meet my gaze for long. He exhaled heavily, and his jaw kept tensing beneath my palm. “Dustin,” I said, drawing his focus back to me. “It’s only a kiss.” It wasn’t. We both knew I was lying and if we started down this road it would lead to more. Regardless, Dustin pulled me into him. Pressing on the small of my back, he didn’t stop until I was flush against his chest. With his other hand he swiped back a lock of hair to slide it behind my ear. He lowered his head, dipping until his forehead rested against mine. “I’m trusting you, Taz.” I responded in a whisper, “Me too. You’re not the only one who stands to lose, Dust.” Finally, he closed the gap between us and his lips met mine slowly, but forcefully. He claimed and possessed me, marking me as his with his mouth. Every ounce of pain and fear was shared through our kiss. When I parted my lips Dustin’s tongue immediately swept into me. I moaned, raising my arms to encircle him. I ran my fingers through the shaggy locks of hair at the back of his neck, pulling on them until he grunted against me. Even though no space remained between us, Dustin forced me against him harder then dropped his head to my shoulder. He placed a tender kiss directly over the pulse point in my neck and mumbled against my skin, “Please don’t break me, Taz.” |
