“JOSH,” I scream and I shudder, releasing on his fingers and mouth. I hear him groan.
With my breath still labored, I open my eyes and look down at Josh, realizing, he released with me. God, that was so hot, watching him fist himself. If there’s a next time, I want to do that to him and maybe use my mouth. Something I haven’t done before.
Josh stands on wobbly legs to retrieve the wash cloth. He rinses the cloth again and washes himself, then after rinsing it once more, walks over to me. I smile and take the cloth from him. “I need to lie down, not start again. No matter how hot you make me.”
I stand up and wipe between my legs, throwing the cloth into the bath. Looking up to Josh my heart fills with dread. He regrets what we’ve just done. It’s written all over his face. Although I knew he would walk away; I’d hoped he wouldn’t. He’s been in my dreams for the past three weeks and after tonight he’s going to be in them for a hell of a lot longer.
“Grace…. I have a flight to catch to Texas soon.” He runs his fingers through his hair, “I didn’t come over here tonight to make love to you. I came to take you out to dinner, to get to know you some.” Laughing, he takes my face between his hands. “I’m going to blame you for screaming while fighting with the water in your shower when I arrived. If you hadn’t been naked, I might have stood a chance against you.”
Resting his forehead against mine, he runs his fingers down my back, “I want more Grace, but I can’t right now. I have a case waiting for me in Texas. Hopefully it won’t take long, but I promise to come back here as soon as it’s over, because this, me and you, is only just starting.”
Kissing my forehead, he walks out of the bathroom, returning with my robe. Helping me into it, he then starts to dress. I stand watching him cover up his sexy as sin body. Tight abs and buns – delicious.
I start to feel sad. Will Josh be back? Or is he just saying that to make his leaving easier on him or me? God, I wish I was more experienced.
“Grace. I can see the wheels turning in that pretty little head of yours.” Taking my hands, he pulls me close. “I promise to return to you as soon as I can. I can’t give you a date, because bad guys don’t always fall in line, but I’ll be back – make no mistake about that.”
“Okay Josh. I’ll walk you to the door.” Holding his hand, we walk to the front door. Taking my face into his hands he kisses me and kisses me. Finally pulling away, to breathe, we just look at each other.
“I need to leave.”
Opening the door he steps outside, “Take care Grace. I’ll be thinking about you.”
I shut the door as he walks towards, what I presume is his car.
Glancing at the clock, Josh had been here about an hour and in that hour I’ve lost my heart.

NEW BEGINNING
[Jackson Hole Book 2]
Josh Mitchell has resigned from his job with the DEA, having decided at 29 that it’s time to have a life instead of living out of a suitcase, like he’s done for the past 8 years. He buys a cabin in Jackson Hole, a place where he has unfinished business with a hot brunette, who he promised to return to seven months earlier. He’s back for her and he’s playing for keeps.
Grace Landon still has nightmares about the day Nick Lucas attacked her, trying to find the notebook of her brother’s that could put a lot of people in prison. Her brother, Tom, died because of the mess he was involved in.
She’s just started getting her life back together after the one night she spent with Josh. She has a new friend Jason, who’s been good to her during the four months they’ve been together.
Two of Tom and Nick’s associates arrive in town and want the notebook Nick was looking for. Having decided to pay Grace a visit, they don’t expect to come face to face with Josh.
Time is running out for Grace, but with Josh’s help, perhaps they will both get a chance at a ‘New Beginning’.
