EXCERPT #3:
Lexi wasn’t sure what woke
her. Her eyes blinked open. For a few seconds, she couldn’t work out where she
was. The room was pitch black, the bed hard and unfamiliar, and a woodsy scent
permeated the air. A cicada chirped outside and a frog croaked. She forced
herself awake, waited for the fog to lift, and then she remembered.
She was with Adam, in his
cabin. In his bed, where they’d made love long into the night.
So what had woken her?
A muffled sound like a soft
cough echoed through the house. She rolled over and reached for Adam. He wasn’t
there.
The sound grew louder. A
painful, drawn-in breath followed by a moan had her sitting bolt upright. Then
came the sobbing, like cries wrenched from a tortured soul.
She threw off the covers and
slipped out of bed. Holding her hands in front of her, she made her way through
the inky blackness. The tormented cries guided her down the passage and into
the lounge.
It wasn’t quite so dark in
there—the moon shone through the open windows, bathing the room in pale light.
Adam lay on his back on the couch. One hand was raised above his head, the
other arm flung out over the edge of the cushion. Tears fell uninterrupted down
his cheeks, and his face was contorted in an agonized mask. Harsh, barking sobs
jarred the stillness around him.
Lexi’s stomach clenched.
Tears filled her own eyes. She watched helplessly as once again, Adam endured
his unspeakable grief alone.
“Adam?” she whispered but
received no response. She edged nearer, crouched before him on the carpet.
“Riley?” He didn’t move. She peered closely at him and realized with a start
that he was asleep. “Oh, Adam,” she breathed, her heart close to breaking. She
took his hand, cradled it in hers and let him cry. Her own tears spilled over,
and she wiped at her cheeks.
Time passed, how much Lexi
wasn’t sure. Slowly, the distressed sobbing subsided. His cries became more
subdued then turned into soft and steady weeping.
Careful not to wake him, she
retrieved a roll of toilet paper from the bathroom and used it to blot his
tears. The knot in her stomach eased as his weeping gradually diminished,
leaving only the ragged breaths that rattled his body.

But the sexy woman he had an unbelievable night with causes cracks in his emotional defenses as well as cranks up his libido. One night should have burned her out of his system, but this kind of heat comes with strings…
