Olivia Shaw-Clayton’s life revolves around her job ever since her husband was killed eight months ago in Iraq. She slaves away at her desk in hopes of numbing the pain of her loss and the guilt of longing to fall asleep once again to be joined by her phantom lover.
Excerpt:
Olivia
was out waiting for her friends at Vipers after work, when in walked the most
gorgeous man that she’d ever seen wearing an Army uniform. He was tall and
built like a god. She watched as he took off his coat and placed it over his
shoulder. She licked her lips at the sight of him in a t-shirt. His
huge arms were covered in tattoos. She knew she was staring, but couldn’t tear
her eyes off of him. Finally, she turned away and took a sip of her almost
empty drink. When she looked up again, she found the most amazing hazel eyes
gazing at her. She thought her heart was going to stop right there. He smiled
and began to walk toward her.
“Hello,
my name is Aaron Clayton and I was wondering if you’d do me the honor of having
a drink with me?” He extended his hand.
Olivia
bit her lower lip and took his hand in hers. He smelled just as good as he
looked. It was a mix of amber, musk, and spice.
“Hi,”
she finally sputtered out as he brought the top of her hand toward his mouth.
She cleared her throat. “My name is Olivia.”
“Nice
to meet you, Olivia.” His smoldering eyes never left hers as he placed a gentle
kiss on top of her hand.
Her
heart fluttered and a warm jolt rushed through her body. A feeling she’d never
had before. All her senses seemed at that moment to be on fire. All she could
think, smell or breathe was this stranger that stood in front of her. She
cleared her throat again, in hopes of snapping herself out of the trance she
was in. “I’m meeting my friends, but I’m early, so a drink sounds great.”
He
smiled. My friends are in the back playing pool, but they can wait.” He winked.
“What are you drinking?”
“Gin
and tonic, please.”
He
leaned toward her. “I’ll be right back,” he whispered in her ear.
A
shiver went down her spine and her stomach fluttered as she watched him walk
toward the bar. By God his ass is fine! Her mind swirled with all the things
she would like to do to that body. Get a grip. Olivia. You just met him and you
already want to jump his bones. Olivia looked around the bar and noticed that
most of the girls’ eyes were on Aaron. Jealousy spiked through her veins but at
the same time she felt a little smug that he'd walked up to her. Now all she
needed to do was figure out how to get to know him better. If she had her way
she would be underneath him by the end of the night.
“Here
you go,” he said as he handed her a drink. “So, Olivia, tell me about yourself?”
She
quickly glanced around at all the other females glaring at her and a large
smirk crossed her lips. Ladies, eat your heart out! He’s talking to me. She
quickly focused her attention on the god in front her, smiling at her with the
sexiest dimples she’d ever seen, and she melted.
