On the Ropes
by
Dania Voss
Ten years ago he let her get away. Does he
have what it takes to make her his for good?
BLURB:
By all accounts Luke “Strike ‘em Out”
Stryker lives a charmed life. He’s won 4 World Series Championship rings and is
the Chicago Cobras star pitcher. He’s gorgeous, wealthy and is dating one of
Hollywood’s biggest A-list actresses.
But things aren’t always as they appear.
Abbey Jayne has been nursing a broken
heart since Luke Stryker betrayed her ten years ago. She’s spent the last ten
years focused on her career and education, trying to get over him.
Forced to see him again at her sister’s
wedding, Abbey vows to not let Luke ruin her weekend.
An accident days before the wedding has
Luke re-evaluating the harsh realities of his life and future. A future that
must include his one true love Abbey.
A terrible misunderstanding drove them
apart ten years ago, but Luke is determined to win Abbey back by the end of the
wedding weekend. He’ll do whatever it takes to convince her they belong
together. Failure is not an option.
EXCERPT:
Abbey
remembered Luke’s talented tongue. He’d spent hours using it all over her.
Kissing her senseless with just the right amount of firmness. Licking her
nipples relentlessly until they ached so good. And when he used his tongue
between her legs, it hadn’t taken many swipes against her throbbing clit to set
her off like a rocket ship.
For the next
few minutes, he continued to feed them from their dessert plate. Although Abbey
enjoyed the delicious treats she was being fed, she enjoyed watching Luke’s
mouth as he ate even more. She imagined his mouth, lips, and tongue on her, and
by the time they’d had their fill of dessert, she was hot and aching. Her
panties were damp and she desperately needed relief. The kind only Luke could
provide.
She was
practically vibrating in her chair and her breaths reduced to quick pants. Luke
licked his lips and she couldn’t wait another minute to get a taste of him. She
leaned in and he met her halfway.
Abbey startled
and quickly pulled away at the amplified sound of the DJ’s voice. “All right,
everyone, we’re going to get the evening’s festivities underway. The
photographers have set up in the corner next to the gift table for anyone who
would like to have pictures taken. Jake and Cassie, come on up for your first
dance as man and wife.”
Abbey
shivered and tried to calm down. She looked over to Luke and saw him frowning.
“Bad timing, DJ dude,” he mumbled.
She giggled
at him as she joined the guests and applauded while Cassie and Jake went to the
dance floor for their first dance. Luke reached over and held her hand, and
they both watched, hand in hand, as the newlyweds danced to “The Way You Look
Tonight” by Tony Bennett. From the way Jake was looking at Cassie—with love,
lust, and contentment—it was the perfect song. Abbey teared up. Once upon a
time, Luke had looked at her the same
way.
She felt his
warm fingers brush away a stray tear on her cheek. His simple touch made her
insides sizzle. This is so unfair. He
turned her head, so she faced him. “No tears, princess.”
Luke leaned
in and her eyes drifted shut. She should have pulled away but didn’t have the
will left in her to do that. The soft, warm brush of Luke’s lips on hers left
her reeling. The world around them fell away. She’d missed Luke so much. Missed
everything Luke. Abbey’s head was
swimming. She wanted him, needed him so badly.
Luke licked
the seam of her lips, seeking entry, and Abbey opened her mouth, happy to let
him inside. The first taste of him was a sweet mix of the delicious desserts
they’d just shared—chocolate, tart apples, cheesecake, and more. His big warm
hands cradled her face as their tongues tangled and danced. More decadent than
any dessert.
Abbey lost
herself in him. Her heart raced and her skin felt hot and tight. Her breasts
were swollen and heavy and her panties were soaked. Luke moaned sexily and she
was ready to toss him under the table and—
“If the
bridal party and parents of the bride and groom would like to come to the dance
floor now, please.”
