Synopsis:
CAMERON
Life’s the shit!
Chicks squeal over how wild and yummy I am, play
their silly games trying to tie me down. But I’m free as a bird, doing what makes
life : kicking extreme-sport-ass!
I base jump, snowboard, bungee jump. I
do anything for
the
Then, Ingela blows
into town for college—a cool Swedish blast of trouble. Foulmouthed and runway-
gorgeous, the girl seeps in like poison and melts the freaking brain.
To Ingela I am what chicks were to me: pastime,
leisure, entertainment, pleasure. She’s killing me, and I’m digging it.
There’s
a new rush in town! Yeah, I hunt down my highs,
and now the chase is on. I’ll catch her soon enough, just, what’s the
deal with her ex?
BO
With Ingela, sex is a dance. A
slow tango where skin flows over skin. It is slick readiness, a quiet welcome. It’s
smooth, warm, right, and all wrong.
On and off. On and off. Again, she’s wrecked
with grief. It’s a reminder of how I destroy her, how crushed
relationships shouldn’t be revived.
We’ve done this for years, now, but clearly we’re in
for more.
Excerpt:
BO
Sex is a dance with her. A slow tango where skin
flows over skin. It is slick readiness, a quiet welcome. It’s smooth, warm, right, and
all wrong.
There’s no move she makes I don’t preempt. When
it’s new, I follow. When I’m different, she forms to me. She was the ground I walked
on. The air I worshipped. The first years together she was my everything.
With Ingela, sex is love. It is guilt over not giving her
what she’s worthy of.
This girl. She deserves so much. And I?
I don’t have it all.
The way she looks at me. It’s knives sharpened and
twisting in my gut because the extent of her love is beyond my capacity. I tell her
again, for the seventh time in five years, what the answer always must be:
“Ingela, I can’t. You are the best person I know. You
deserve someone with the chops to love you hard and forever. I’m not that
man.”
Again, I’ve reduced her to this; her body, the one I
just took to the skies in ecstasy, wrecks with grief. This is why tonight is the last
time we break up. I hate myself. I have to accept that I can’t make her
happy.
It’s time I quit chickening out, quit running back to
her over a bleak fling and whenever I need solace. To me, she’s comfort and
familiarity. I’ll never stop loving Inga.
But to her, I’m still everything.
About The
Author:
Originally from Norway, I moved to the United
States twelve years ago. I hold a Master’s degree in languages and taught Spanish at
college level before settling in at the Savannah College of Art and Design as an
adviser.
I write New Adult fiction, sometimes with a
paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in
February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” estimated release date, November 2014. The
first book I’m self-publishing is the New Adult Contemporary novel “Pandora Wild
Child,” which will make me a proud indie author in October 28th 2014!
I specialize in impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and
good-boys running amok. Then, there’s the intense love, physical and emotional
attraction beyond reason—sensory overload for the reader as well as for the
characters. Like in real life, I hope you’re unable to predict what comes next in my
stories.
Yes, so I write what I love to read, and depending on
the reader, you’ll find my books to be a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster—or
disturbing because the struggles of love aren’t your thing. Here’s to hoping you have
the same reading vice as me!
