FINALLY
By Scarlett Metal
Lauren
broke off an engagement with her old boyfriend because she caught him cheating
on her. She's finally ready to move on, but work has been keeping her too
busy.
Marcus
is a player, never settling down with one girl. No one seems to meet his
long list of requirements in a woman.
Marcus
and Lauren have worked for the same company for years, but in locations across
the country from each other. They've been flirting for months. When
they are in the same city for a conference, they spend a few passionate days
together, both assuming this is just a fling. Once they each get home
though, they realize they want more. Can they make a long distance
relationship work? And when Lauren's old boyfriend come back to win her
affection, can Marcus compete with their history?
EXCERPT –
Lauren’s POV
The ten minute cab ride home seemed never ending tonight. What
should I wear? Should I change into some sexy lingerie? Light some candles? My mind was going a million miles an hour as
I looked out the window.
When it finally pulled up in front of my building, I quickly ran
inside. I got on the elevator, watching
as the numbers changed until it reached my floor. I got my keys out of my purse as the door
opened and walked to my apartment door.
I’d just left Marcus but I already missed him and couldn’t wait to see
him.
I flicked on the lights in my apartment as I walked inside and
kicked off my shoes. It felt good to get
my heels off after wearing them all day long.
I went into the bathroom to check my hair and make up when my phone
rang. I glanced down at it and rolled my
eyes when I saw it was Kyle. Wonder what he wants? I ignored his call, letting it go to
voicemail. I was in too good of a mood
and wasn’t going to let talking to him ruin it.
If it was important enough, he could leave a message.
I turned off the light and was about to go change when I heard a
knock on the door. My heart started
pounding in my chest. I had no idea why I was so nervous. We’d seen each other
all day and spent the previous night together. Maybe because now it was
reaching a more personal level since Marcus was going to be at my home. I checked myself one last time in the mirror
before walking over to open the door.
I barely had a chance to turn the knob before he flew into my
apartment. His eyes were dark as he grabbed my arms and spun me around,
pressing me up against the door. He fisted a hand in my hair and pulled my head
back with a jerk. Bending down, his lips traveled from my ear and down my neck,
pausing to nibble a little with the edge of his teeth.
He sucked in his breath and pressed his forehead against mine. “Fuck,
Lauren, I hated watching you talk to those other men tonight.” He turned his
head and bit my earlobe gently, eliciting a moan from me. “And the way my boss
looked at you,” he muttered in my ear. “I wanted to punch him.”
I had no idea where this possessive man had come from, but I loved
it. He released my hair and reached down, grabbing my blouse with both hands. “You’re
mine,” he growled and pulled my shirt apart, the buttons flying to the floor.
