Fighting My Affections
Page 22
I feel his movements quicken and he places his thumb over my clit, rubbing gently there until my body explodes. I feel myself clench around him, throbbing with each wave of release that courses through me. Moments later Striker grabs my hips, pushing me onto him until he’s buried in me. I feel the pulse of his release as I come down from my own.
We lay there both sated, exhaustion settling in. My breathing starts to slow. I look up to the evening sky, trees high above me. Smiling to myself, I run my fingers through Striker’s short hair. I’m glad he took the risk of ending our friendship, without it we wouldn’t be here today. Sweaty, naked, and lying on the ground in the woods, after what I can only assume will be one of the best sexual experiences I will ever have. Our spot in the woods has always been special to me, and I could not have asked for my first time to be in a better place.
Striker leans up on his elbows, brushing his hands through my hair. “I love you more than anything in this world, Alma. You are my heart and soul.”
My throat clogs with emotion. I can’t even return the words. Pushing him off of me, I stand and move our location, so that he’s sitting in the spot where I always find him, with his back against our fallen tree. Instead, I climb onto his lap, using my body to show him how much I love him in return.

Acknowledgements
I remember the release of my first book baby like it was yesterday. I had some amazing people behind me but with each book I write, I gain new friendships and my support system grows. It has been such a blessing and humbling experience. I am thankful to be part of an amazing group of indie authors and readers.
To my readers; where do I begin? It wasn’t long ago that you gave a newbie author a chance and I am more than grateful. I thank each and every one of you for reading my books. No words could ever describe how much your support means to me. Keep being the rock stars that you are!
Karen Hrdlicka, my editor and friend, thank you! You have been the best over the past several years. I’d recommend you to any author that comes my way looking for an editor. You not only do a tremendous job but are always willing to lend a helping hand.
Brittney Green, cousin by marriage and friend by choice. I hope you know how much you mean to me. I know I can come to you with anything, even my 70K manuscript and you help me. This time around you busted it out with a new baby at home (I love him to pieces by the way). Thanks for helping edit FMA. I always value your opinion. The support you show my work is amazing. Now that it’s finished, tequila shots!
To my beta readers, Jen, Lisa, Karen, Vanessa Dana and Jessie, I appreciate each of you. Thank you for sparing the time to not only read but help to make FMA the best that it can be. You guys make my work look good.
To all the bloggers who work so hard to get my work out there, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I can’t say it enough. You guys amaze me every day and your love for the written word is inspiring and keeps pushing me forward. Way to make the Indie world go ‘round!
