Excerpt
I watch as Jax gets up and when he
returns he has every type of cream and sugar they offer. “I didn’t know what
flavor you preferred or if you were into real or fake sugar.”
“Real. Definitely real.” I start
dressing my coffee. “There’s nothing like the taste of coffee with real sugar.
My tongue is able to tell the difference for some reason.” I can’t believe I
just mentioned my tongue to Jax. My skin flushes, as I picture licking him with
it. Calm down, Trudy. He’s just a good looking guy.
He clears his throat and sits there
staring at me for a second. Finally he starts to talk. “How’s work going?”
I exhale with relief and relax. I
thought he was going to ask me why I’m so flushed. “Good. I really like working
there. Both Benji and Blaire are wonderful.” He growls and I don’t know why,
but ignore it and continue. “Did you know they’re playing tomorrow night on
stage? I can’t wait to hear them because everyone says they are phenomenal.
I’ll be working the bar, so I’ll have to listen from the back, but still...it’s
a free show and in a way I’ll be getting paid to watch.” I’m rambling but he
makes me nervous. My foot won’t stop moving under the table, and the table
starts to shake. Please don’t notice. Please don’t notice.
“Is the table moving?” he asks with a
smirk on his face. He bends down to look underneath, so I cross my legs and dig
my nails into my palms to distract myself.
I’m relieved I had it under control
while he was down there. “God, Trudy. Stop it.”
“Did you say something?” He pulls up
and smiles. “What do you need to stop?”
Well shit! I might as well get this
over with because I’m just making a fool out of myself. Plus, I keep digging
this hole of humiliation deeper and deeper by the second. I take a deep breath
and close my eyes. When I open them Jax is focusing on my mouth again. NOT
HELPING! Okay, here goes nothing.
Review

About the Author
My name is Robin and I live in Grand Bay, Alabama. I grew up an army brat and traveled a lot until we finally settled down along the Gulf Coast when I was 4. My husband is 9 years younger so I guess that makes me a COUGAR.
I have a little girl who is 9 and is blind as well as autistic. My life is not boring with them two in it. Believe me. I have always loved creating and I would constantly draw on my walls. I love painting and reading. Writing is something I wanted to do but didn't think I could, until I woke up at three a.m. a few months back and started writing. Life has a way of throwing rocks at you and putting cracks in your soul. Either you can duck and cover or you can make something beautiful from the cracks.
After that, the story took over. Even though some pieces of my life experience are within it, it is Tru and Jax’s story now. I have truly fell in love with this story and hope you all do too.
