Excerpt 

I switched Foster’s direction and lunged him counterclockwise.

Another flashback suddenly hit me out of nowhere. It brought me back to when Paige and I were thirteen years old.

Hidden behind the corner where the fence posts met the side of the barn, I knelt on the ground in my grass-stained jeans next to Paige. She was studying my father’s every move while he lunged our newest colt out in the round pen. I should have been watching, too, so I could learn Dad’s techniques, but I was too mesmerized by the glow in her captivating brown eyes and the way her smile seemed to make time stand still around us.

The colt bellowed out a loud neigh, sounding as though he wasn’t in the mood to cooperate. My father responded with a low command from a distance, respectfully cuing the horse to do as he’d been previously instructed.

Paige giggled softly and leaned forward as if trying to get a closer peek between the boards of the fence. Then, she tilted her head over at me. “Someday, I want to be a horse trainer.”

I could picture Paige doing just that. She was already a great rider, and she had a natural ability with horses that very few had. Even as gentle as horses could be, the untrained young ones didn’t know any better, and that could put a new trainer at a risk.

I frowned. “Paige, you might get hurt.”

“No, I won’t.” She adamantly shook her head. “I’ll be really careful.” She pointed at my dad. “And I have two of the best dads in the world to learn from.”

I smiled at hearing the love and respect she had for my father.

“Who’s there?” My dad’s sharp voice cut in from afar. “You kids had better not be distracting my horse!”

Paige gasped. “Oh no! He heard us!”

“Hurry!” I jumped to my feet while grabbing her hand. “Run!”

Hand in hand, we ran behind the brown-and-white barn and barreled straight for the thick tree line. I took the lead, never letting go of Paige. The multicolored leaves of the fall season hit my clothing as we weaved in between the tree trunks, our feet pounding against the dirt path.

At the break of the trees, we reached the prairie on the other side. The normally bright green grass was now a striking shade of gold mixed with yellow.

Paige came up to my side, laughing, and the captivating sound stopped me in my tracks. She spun around before facing me, her smile still perfectly in place. Her long brown hair was windblown from running, and a tiny streak of mud was smeared across the bottom of her left cheek, but she was still so beautiful.

My heart thumped unevenly in my chest. I didn’t know what it was about her, but since I was five years old, she had been my best friend and the only one who could make me feel this way.

I stepped closer to her and slowly lifted my thumb to her cheek.

Paige’s laughter suddenly broke off, and her expression searched mine as if she were trying to read me. “Colton, what’s wrong?” she asked.

I wiped the mud from her cheek. “Nothing’s wrong,” I said while digging deep for courage.

“Oh,” was all she had time to say before I placed my hands on either side of her face and kissed her.

After the slightest moment of surprise, her mouth softened, and she kissed me back, the tenderness of her lips moving perfectly with mine.

It was an innocent kiss back then, but nonetheless, that very kiss had forever changed me—no, that was not entirely true. Paige had changed my fate the day she walked into my life. I was hers, and she was mine. Paige and I had just been too young and innocent to know it yet.

I set my hand over my heart as I let Foster come to a stop. My chest ached as I remembered the heavenly sweet taste of her. It had been too damn long since I kissed my girl and held her in my arms.

I had respected Paige’s request and given her time away to sort things out and heal—but no more.

Foster affectionately nudged me on the shoulder, seeming confused and concerned with my behavior.

I set my hands on the sides of his ears and gave him a good scratch. “Foster”—leaning forward to show my boy some love, I lightly kissed his nose—“it’s time to bring my girl home.”

Synopsis

Your first crush isn't normally the man who ends up dating your best friend, nor is he the man you end up wanting to marry. But my inexperience on how to handle such a strong reaction to one guy nearly cost me everything back then. They say you can't control when you first fall in love or who you fall in love with. So when I found myself in love for the first time at seventeen, it was a bit shocking. Not for the reasons you think, but then again, maybe it was.

His name was Johnathan Pierce, the one who drove me insane with lust, and frustrated me to no end. How could I not fall for him? How could any girl refuse his green eyes, experienced touch and intoxicating words? I knew that he was no longer the seventeen year old boy who had taken me for the ride of my life, he was a man now. It's been six years since my heart was taken by Johnathan, a man who was now a CEO of a billion dollar empire. A man who has taken all that I had to give, and hurt me in the worst way imaginable, causing me to give up everything and run away. The indescribable pain I felt has consumed me for six long years, but now the time has come for me to return home. Home, where it all started for a girl name Kathleen Toth-Chamberlin. 

Every story has a beginning... and an end.

Excerpt

“I think someone wants to talk to you.” Blair muttered close to me, while grabbing my arm. But it was too late. I was in a foul mood, and there was nothing or no one, who could break me out of it.

“Yeah, but I don’t want to talk to anyone, but you.” I stated proudly.

“Well, I hope I can be an exception.” A voice startled me, and I jumped and turned around to see him standing there. He was standing in front of me, up close and personal, yet again. Johnathan Pierce was here standing next to us, staring at me. Me. “Kathleen?” Blair nudged my side. I looked at her, and she was biting her bottom lip, moving her eyes towards him, desperately trying to break me out of my brain freeze.

“Yes, Blair?” I muttered.

“I think someone wants to talk to you. I’ll get you something to eat for later, okay?” She smiled.

“Of course, sure.” I muttered, and turned back to see he was smirking at me. I reached out my hand to introduce myself. “Hi, I’m Kathleen. Kathleen Toth-Chamberlin,” I stated, he took my hand, stepping closer to me, and shook it while squeezing it softly.

“Hello, Kathleen Toth-Chamberlin, I’m Johnathan Pierce, but I assume you knew that already.” He smiled.

“You shouldn't assume Johnathan, it can turn into a very bad habit.” I released his hand, and glanced over at the table of tramps, to see them all staring at us.

“Care to join me?” He asked.

“Join you? Your fan club over there looks as though they may be lost without you. Are you sure you want me joining you?” I smiled sweetly at him, as Blair started to giggle.

“Oh, I’m sure I want you… joining me, that is.” He stated quickly, adding that last part just in time, but I caught it. He wanted me? He grabbed my hand and started walking towards the exit door. I followed him, or for use of a better word, I was being pulled by him. We exited the double doors, all the while I’m chanting in my head, don’t believe anything he says… he has many options compared to your one... he is nothing to you… don’t let him make a fool out of you. I wondered where he was taking me, and I hoped it was behind the bleachers. Oh no, wait… no I don’t.

“Johnathan, where are we going?” I breathed. He kept quiet and pulled me along. The halls were empty because everyone was at lunch or class. We turned a corner and came to a stairwell, and he opened the door. He led me down the stairwell, all the way to the bottom, near an old radiator or generator. It looked like a huge motor, and it was fenced in for protection, but the sound while it ran was like a motor cycle running. No one would see us, and no one would definitely be able to hear us. How did he even know about this place, when I didn't? He just got here today, and I've been going here for the last four years.

I turned back to him, and he was staring at me, his eyes darkened, and his tongue slowly licking his lips. I watched his tongue slowly curve to cover his thicker bottom lip, while his eyes devoured my body, and I began panting. I gasped as he pulled my hand roughly towards him, the hand he was still holding. My body smashed into his, and I instinctively raised my hand to push back from his chest, but he wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me in place. We were face to face, our breaths mingling. He smelled so good, and I knew in that moment that I wanted him to kiss me. I had never felt like this and now I knew what it felt like to actually want someone. I mean really want them. “Kathleen?” He whispered, close to my mouth, and I shuddered in his arms, not being able to control my body’s reaction to him.

“Yes?” I uttered, feeling as though the breath was being taken away from me. I closed my eyes for a moment, and opened them to see his filled with desire.

“I want to kiss you, taste you, and claim you as mine.” He muttered, close to my mouth. I gasped, as his words took my breath away, and in the sudden movement, my breasts rubbed against his chest. I could feel the friction, of my now hardened nipples, making me feel sensations all over my body, causing a soft moan to escape me. I balled my hands that laid on his chest, into fistful of his shirt silently showing him how much I wanted him right here and now.

“Oh Johnathan...” I breathed his name, and it sounded almost like a moan. I never heard this tone of my voice before, I could tell that it was laced with yearning.

“Shh…” He uttered. Our lips were so close to connecting, I could feel the warmth of his breath. I could feel the hardness of what was between his legs, as well as the moisture of my panties. I needed this, I wanted this kiss. It would be a first for me, and I wanted it to be from him, right now.
