She clamped down around my cock, bucking against me with such ferocity, I followed her orgasm with my own.
Holding her to me, I planted soft kisses along her jawline as we caught our breath. After what felt like too short a time, I gently pulled out of her, adjusting her clothes and mine until we were back to where we started.
She walked toward her car and turned as she opened the door. The tears were back, but I’d given her something that made her look a little less broken. Lucky for her she couldn’t see what was happening inside my soul.
“I’ll see you,” she said, her voice a combination of breathy and sad.
“See you,” I responded the same way I had every time we’d had to say goodbye over the last seven years.
This time, the words flayed me to the bone. My heart seared until it crumbled and turned to ash in my chest.
I watched her drive away—taking my future and my heart along with her.
YOU KNOW I always thank you first, dear reader! Thank you for going on this journey with me! I absolutely loved getting these guys together and I hope you love Wade as much as I do! He’ll be coming at you next!
To my husband, thanks for understanding the demands of this insane writing schedule. Thank you for always acknowledging the hard work I do, and then telling me when to take a break. Thanks for shipping me off to a hotel to finish a book as the deadline approaches, and thanks mostly for loving me like you do—you are every hero I ever write.
To my family, thank you for your continued support and love!
Rebecca thanks for literally everything—the calls, the chats, the books—you’re an inspiration and I adore you!
Mindy and Sam thank you for reading things at the drop of a hat, and for giving me honest notes that only push me to be better. You both are incredible!
Molly, my awesome friend, the coolest half of #MollySquared, I don’t know what I’d do without you! Every call, every chat . . . you make me smile every single day. Thanks for all the help, all the laughs, but mostly thanks for Jentry and the Devil, LOL.
To Esther, my bestie. I don’t even know what to say, you are simply the greatest and I love you and miss you and I still want to buy that multi-house property where we all live super close to each other! Maybe if we keep telling the boys it’ll eventually happen!
Cindi, Cora, Jay, Kim, Rachel, Megan, Micalea, Rebecca . . . thanks for being such amazing authors I strive to be as cool as you!
To Karen, my incredible and awesome editor. Your faith in these characters and these books . . . and in me . . . means the world to me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you and I can’t thank you enough.
To Linda, my PR rockstar, thanks for handling all the hot-mess that is my life!
To Tina Lynne, thank you a million times over for answering ALL the questions I threw at you about the Amazon Rainforest. Seriously, you answered so graciously and openly I felt like I was really there. You are simply the best.
To the amazing bloggers who do ALL the things, you all are my heroes. The hard work you do and the sacrifices you make for this community ARE noticed and so deeply appreciated! Vilma, Natasha, Captain, Tina, Megan, Stephanie . . . my list could go on and on and on! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Jillian, you know why I adore you and I can’t wait to squeeze you at RT!
Liz, I want to thank you for all the advice, for the phone calls and emails and messages. For all the time you’ve spent helping me navigate this world, this genre, and this business. You are such a light and brighten every single room you walk into. I also can’t wait to squeeze you at RT!
To Steve, for the kind words. You are the king of adventure and thrillers and all the books and I’m not sure if you know how much your words mean to me . . . but I will treasure them forever and can’t thank you enough!
Mayhem Members! All of you rock and have made my reader room such a super fun and awesome place to be! Thank you!
Regina and Yuli over at Mae I Design, y’all know how much I adore you. You both create magic from just a few words of description on my end, and I still don’t know how you do it . . . but I’m so overjoyed that you do! Thanks for bringing all my books to life!
To Ripp, thanks for bringing Dash to life, and for continuing to go on fun adventures for these covers.
And finally, again, to you . . . awesome reader. Thank you. You make all things possible.
