STAY
A Bleeding Stars Stand-Alone Novel
Coming January 23rd
His hands slid across the
slope of my cheeks. He gripped me there and let his forehead drop to mine as he
panted for a breath. “Pretend with me, Peaches. Pretend with me.”
Confusion distorted my
already clouded judgment, and I clung tighter to his wrists to keep from falling
to the floor. “What?”
“Pretend with me. Pretend
that everything that article said was true. Pretend that you’re mine and I’m
yours. That you tamed the ultimate bad boy. Let’s show up at your reunion and
show that bastard exactly what he lost. What he’s missing out on. Let him know
he’s the loser at his own game.”
He swept his tongue over
his swollen lips. “And after two months, when you finish this job, when you
leave your mark on my house with your amazing talent, you can publicly break up
with the world’s most notorious rock star. Because you and me both know he
doesn’t come close to bein’ good enough for you. Let’s go. Let’s show Bates and
that bitch they can both go fuck themselves.”
He squeezed his eyes closed
and nearly begged it. “Pretend with me.”
What if you hurt me?
What if I fall in love with you?
What if I want you to stay?
All my reservations howled
and roared.
All I’d ever wanted was to
be loved.
This man was offering me a
counterfeit version of that.
“That won’t change the fact
those pictures are a lie.” The words were tight when I forced them from between
my lips.
“So it’ll be our lie. Ours.
I want to try. Let me try to put some of those broken pieces back together again.
Make you remember who you are. Shake you out from that battered shell so you’ll
be ready when that guy comes looking for you.”
The last of those
reservations screamed.
What if I want him to be you?
His lips touched mine.
Soft. Sweet. Fire.
“Please,” he said.
“Okay.”
