Will she ever find a way to overcome the guilt?
The anger.

Excerpt
It’s nearly dark when I wander out onto the porch
and find Linc packing up his tools and loading up his truck.
“I won’t be here tomorrow so make sure you bring
water and your lunch.”
He chuckles, the sound soothing and warm. “I
will.”
Slamming the tailgate of his truck, he walks to
the foot of the steps. The porch light illuminates his face as a smile teases
the corners of his lips.
I fold my arms across my chest.
I’ve never had to fight so hard at it. When Dean
was here it was easier to mask. But now that he’s gone, it’s taking everything
I have to cover it up.
He props a booted foot onto the bottom step.
“We’ll be finished tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Step.
“Doesn’t mean I’m finished with you though.”
Step.
“Told ya I ain’t goin’ nowhere.” Linc plants his
feet on the porch, standing directly in front of me, eyes gleaming with
affection. The green irises set my body on fire and build an inferno of heat,
raging in my heart and between my legs.
“What’s for dinner?”
I smile because, damn it all to hell, when it
comes to him, I can’t help myself. “Fish sticks and macaroni and cheese.”
He smirks. “You know that’s my favorite.”
One minute I’m standing on my front porch, trying
desperately to resist him. And the next minute, I’m in his arms…
Giving in.
His lips claim mine, soft yet hard paired with
unmistakable determination. His warm tongue tangles with mine, tasting of deep
longing and strong desire.
The kiss of that desperate boy long ago pales in
comparison to that of this unyielding man.
I throw my arms around his shoulders as he backs
me into the door. “I’ve waited a fucking lifetime for this?” he whispers across
my lips before seizing them once more, renewing his passion.
I’ve dreamed of this moment for so
long, to feel his touch, to taste his lips once more. The possessive manner in
which his fingers brand my skin, the way his tongue greedily slides against
mine.
Linc begins to slow the kiss but I’m not ready for
it to end, so I dig deeper and pull tighter, in my vain attempt to soar higher.
I don’t want to let this moment go.
Ever.
His hands cup my face and I can sense him trying
to pull away, so I let him, because otherwise I’ll beg him to take me right
here and now. His forehead rests against mine, and I take this opportunity to
breathe him in.
“God, I’ve missed you so much.”
“I’ve missed you, too,” I say, still trying to
grasp the reality of what is happening. “I still can’t believe you’re here.”
His eyes meet mine as confusion settles on his face. “Why?”
“Because of everything that’s happened between us.
Because of everything I said to you. I thought you would hate me forever. It’s
what I wanted.”
“I could never hate you.”
“I would hate me,” I whisper.
His hands move to my back, pulling me into his chest. “Know what I hate? I hate what he’s done to you. I
hate what he took away from us, and most of all, I hate that you’re still
letting him.”
God, I hate it, too.
“It’s time.”
“I know.” I agree, because even though I don’t
deserve him, I need him in order to survive this.
