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 life: kicking extreme-sport-ass!
I base jump, snowboard, bungee jump. I do anything for
the rush.
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!
