Excerpt from Second Chance:
“You little flirt!” Jae trapped her
between the door and himself. “I was informed you have a thing for Korean men.” His voice lowered seductively. “I naturally
assumed you would get bored and move on to flirting with…” He placed a hand on
her right thigh and moved his lips to her ear, “…other men.” He nipped her ear
lobe as his hand moved up her silky thigh, caressing her. “How many have there
been since me? Looks like you have been practicing by the way you’ve just
kissed me,” he said, placing kisses along her neck.
Sue’s hands clenched into fist as
he spoke.
Practicing?
Whore. Slut. Did he think that of her, too? She hadn’t let any man touch
her besides handshakes. Anytime anyone went too far, she reacted as if she’d
been scorched. Stiff, she’d been
called. She could tolerate insinuations from others, but not from the man whom
she had given herself to so freely. Stupid,
stupid girl.
All these years and the slightest
touch from him still made her knees weak. One kiss and she submissively
surrendered her body to his groping. Slut.
Whore. Shame, shame, shame.
“You arrogant—” she bellowed,
pushing his hand away from her and kicking him in the shin. He stepped back and
gave an obscenity. “Insufferable—” she punched him, aiming for his jaw but got
his shoulder, “—excuse for a man! How dare you!” she roared. Her chest
tightened, her throat burned and she fought back the tears taking another swing
at him, hitting him in the jaw before he caught her hands. She pulled her hands
free and went for the door. She shouldn’t have let her guard down. Stupid girl.
Pain radiated from her right ankle
and she cried out in pain as his strong arms took hold of her waist, turning
her to face him one brief second before hoisting her onto his shoulder. He
carried her like a sack of rice toward the bedroom. “Let go of me!” she
screamed. She let out another cry of pain as he took hold of her ankles to stop
her from kicking him. “You’re hurting me!” she cried out louder. Her ankles
throbbed from the pressure of his grip. She reached for his bottom and pinched
him as hard as she could.
“Ow!” he bellowed. He released her
ankles and shifted her body in his arms in such a manner that her arms were
pinned to him, restricting their movements.
“Serves you right! Let me go, you
big oaf!” she shouted as loudly as she could in his ear.
Scowling, he tilted his head away
from her. He finally released her by tossing her onto the center of his bed,
ripping her dress strap.
Sue landed on her back, her
strapless bra exposed, and her dress scrunched up, just barely covering her
underwear. Tears she could no longer fight back trickle down the side of her
face, dripping into her ears. “Jerk,” she painfully said in a low, raspy voice.
She wiped her tears and turned away from him, not caring that her underwear was
now fully exposed. She curled onto her side and cried. “God, I hate you,” she
whispered brokenly. (End of Excerpt)
