"What lies beneath my veiled perfection is the ugly
truth—my truth, my reality, my destiny."
Vivian Graham has an acceptance letter
into Harvard, a badass tattoo, loyal friends, ties to marijuana, a penchant for
Dunkin’ Donuts, and her pesky V-card.
Everyday she takes the Red Line to her
job at The Green Pot in Boston while her friends enter the coveted, black iron
gates to higher learning. The ramifications from a tragic accident have put her
life on hold while time marches on for everyone around her.
After graduating from Harvard Law, Boston
native, Oliver Konrad, moves to Portland to start his career and his life.
Three years later, after a horrific discovery, he returns home to trade in his
three-piece suit for leather work boots and his suburban home for a condo in
Cambridge.
All he brought back to the East Coast was
an aversion to pillows and secrets he keeps hidden behind a mysterious locked
door. Oliver’s days are predictable and his nights are lonely until he meets
Vivian on the subway. Her long raven hair, green eyes, and mile-long legs are
achingly sexy, but the way she "innocently" fingers and licks her
Boston Kreme doughnut can only be described in two words—complete torture.
When their paths cross at every turn,
laughter is abundant, friendship is easy, and love is unintentional. However,
their future seems improbable.
Excerpt
“I don’t need panties.”
“I disagree,” he says with his back to me
as he signs for the purchase at the counter. He takes the bag in one hand and
grabs my hand with his other. “Shall we?” He leads me out of the store.
“A,
I have plenty of panties. B, I
told you I don’t wear them sometimes because it makes me feel sexy.”
He opens my door and sets the bag by my
feet after I get in. Then he leans down and brings his face a breath away from
mine as his hand slides up my leg. His thumb eases past my shorts. He stops and
shakes his head as the pad of it meets my bare sex, no underwear.
My face contorts into a grimacing smile
as my shoulders rise into a guilty shrug. He presses his thumb to my now wet
center. My mouth relaxes as I suck in a breath and try to close the distance
between our lips. He moves his head back just enough to deny me. He grins then
moves his thumb a little higher. I moan as he rubs slow circles.
“How do you feel?” he whispers.
“G–good.” I grip the side of the seat and
let my head fall back.
“What else?”
“Turned … on.” I close my eyes.
“What else?”
I tilt my hips up as he works me up so
high I fear my own reaction to the impending fall.
“Oli …”
He speeds up, pressing his lips to my
neck, and when his teeth graze over my sensitive skin I lose it.
“What. Else?” he whispers in my ear as
the blinding sensation rips through me.
“Sexy … I feel … sexy.” I try to catch my
breath while my head’s still spinning.
He kisses me hard then shuts my door.
I hate that I have no self-control to
deny him giving me an orgasm while parked with the door open on a public
street. Now he’s sporting a ridiculously smug grin as he pulls out into
traffic.
“What was the point of that?” I break the
silence.
“I wanted to prove that I make you feel sexy. Now that you know
that, you can start wearing underwear.”
“What does it matter if no one else can
see that I’m not wearing underwear?”
“First, some of the dresses you wear are
awfully short. Second, I know you’re
not wearing underwear and I don’t like walking around saluting everyone I
pass.”
“Saluting?”
He shoots me a you-know-what-I-mean look.
“Whatever, you’re just being weird.”
“I’m being a guy.”
“That’s what I said. You’re being weird.”
