Being with Demetri wasn__ the absence of pain, it was the added presence of peace, making it easier and easier for that little part of my heart to heal again.--From Pull: A Seaside Novel

I didn__ have to look at him to know I__ just lost everything I__ ever wanted because I felt it. I felt the loss seep into bone and tissue. I felt it settle between the cracks in my heart and the empty holes in my soul.

Nothing has or will ever be weird with us Derrick. Now that I__e been touched by you things will never be the same.

So completely stunned by the force of that smile, Sam found himself helpless to do anything but watch as she quickly closed the gap between them. Her hands reached up to grasp his chin, and he bent down to her, not really knowing why he did it. It was like gravity, so natural that the compulsion was inescapable. Her heels helped.When she kissed him, every nerve ending in his body exploded into his awareness. No girl had ever kissed him like that. Hell, no girl had ever kissed any guy like that, at least not that Sam had heard.

I promise to keep my hands to myself. I'm too exhausted to make a move on you.

Don't see me as a girl. See me as a buddy of yours or something." He cast his eyes downward and didn't look back up to my face. I looked down and groaned. Such a guy. "My buddies don't have boobs, as far as I know." "Because you felt them up to be sure?" I chuckled, against my better judgement. Once again, his mouth dropped open.

He's an idiot for letting you walk away in that dress tonight.

Be myself. If only I remembered what it was like to be myself. I__ a fucking waitress in a crappy bar in a small town in the middle of nowhere. I was going nowhere. I had nothing to give him beside myself and my heart and he denied me.

Don__ cry,__ he breathed out so very close to my face. Just a little closer and I__ feel his lips ghosting against mine. __t__ like a punch in my guts when you cry.__ __ou shouldn__ touch me,__ I said, but despite my words, I didn__ try to move away from his touch. A tear ran to my upper lip and I tasted it with the very tip of my tongue. Nolan__ eyes darkened when he followed it, not straying from my mouth. I could see goosebumps over his skin on his neck and on his forearms. __olan?

This is Bourbon Street, isn__ it? Where__ the freakin_ bourbon?

The bats stop flying above and the moon stands still. He commands the air and the sky and my body.

He gently sucked on my lower lip, biting it carefully with his teeth. It sent tingles all over my body and I had to hold on to his strong shoulders, firm under my fingers. I opened my mouth and tugged once on his lip ring. What happened next was the best sound I had ever heard before. He groaned so deeply that I couldn__ keep my answering moan quiet.

I closed my eyes and immediately I pictured Brooklyn__ full lips parted on a moan, her eyes glassy and her pupils dilated, her cheeks flushed and her body_her smoking body bared only for me.

Quietly, under my breath, I mumbled a name and it wasn__ the name of the girl waiting in the other room. In my mind I pictured Brooklyn__ sounds as she came and I jerked in my hand, coming and coming. Something had to give.

I said nothing in my texts. You came up with your own conclusions and you were mad thinking about me being with someone else__ __top,__ he said, his jaw tightening. __ouching another man__ __top it.__ __leeping__ He ran to me and grabbed my shoulders, shaking me once, not hard, but enough to make me stop. __uit it,__ he whispered, his voice deep and dark.

Talk to me. Say something, anything," he pleaded quietly as if he was trying to tame a wild animal."There's nothing to say."He looked up and lowered his eyebrows on his eyes. "Why did you kiss me?

He brought his forehead against mine and we breathed the same air, slowly to try and find our composure. But it was impossible for me as long as he__ so close to me. __ou__e ruining me.

All I could think about was the heat of his soft lips, the way they fitted so wonderfully as I was coaxing him to open them some more, just enough to let my tongue slip in and taste him. I needed a taste, needed to complete this fantasy of mine.
