Excerpt
Excerpt - Chapter 8
Dina
By the next day, Maggie seems much better. After work I am
relaxing in a bubble bath with my Jacuzzi tub jets running when my phone rings.
It is Ryder.
"Hey, misterman." I answer.
"Hello, beautiful!
It’s good to hear your voice after phone tag yesterday. What are you
doing this evening?"
Well, we are on the phone and I am feeling brave so I answer
in almost a whisper, "I am in the bath tub, covered in nothing but
bubbles, relaxing, thinking of how I wish it were you covering me
instead."
He is quiet for a
moment. I think I hear a low growl from him.
With his voice deeper than I have ever heard before,
"Damn, Dina you are killing me over here. Oh how I wish I was there. I
would be happy to wash your back for you."
I smile and add,
"Just my back, huh, what about my front?"
I hear him groan, "Oh baby, you don't want to start
something, you can't finish."
I stay quiet for just a brief moment, "Ryder, I will be
glad to start and finish anything with you, anytime, anywhere. The question is
am I what you really want?"
There I said it, now
am I really ready for an answer?
He then shocks me to my core with his admission, "Dina,
it’s been you and only you I have wanted since the first night I met you at the
restaurant. Since the night we found you at the bottom of the stairs, when I
beat the shit out of that bastard, I haven't been with anyone. I have been
waiting for you to get over that situation and feel comfortable and safe again."
He pauses and sighs,
but continues, "Dina, you are one of a kind special. I am far from a
perfect man, I am not even a good man, but for you and because of you I want to
be. I have treated women wrong in the past; I have used them, lead them on, and
dumped them in some harsh ways. I have never laid a hand on a woman, but I have
left some completely and unintentionally broken, and for that I am sorry.
I don't want to lead you on or treat you
wrong. I want to be your safe place, Dina. I never want to see you sad, or
hurt. I want to hold you close and call you mine in all ways for always. Baby,
I have messed up big time in my past and I am paying for it even now. I don't
deserve someone as strong and beautiful as you. I have tried to stay away from
you, but you just draw me in. When you look at me, I feel like you can see the
potential and goodness inside me. One kiss from you, is enough to make me weak
in the knees. Dina, I want to see what we can make of the electricity between
us.”
He sighs, “I wish I was there, I didn't want to do this by
phone."
I take a moment because I don't know what to say. Finally, I
stammer through, "Ryder, you mean so much to me. You saved me when I was
at my lowest. I want to see what we can make of us. I won't lie, I am scared, but
I trust you with my insecurities. I trust you with every part of me. My body
craves your touch, Ryder; my mind craves your conversation, and my heart craves
your safety. I trust you, Ryder, to help restore me."
I hear a voice in the background, then Ryder says, "Oh
baby you have just made the whole situation here so much better. I would love
nothing more than to tell you exactly how I would wash every inch of your body,
but I have to go, I am needed. I will call you tomorrow. I will see you as soon
as I can get back home and we will make this work, Goodnight, my
sunshine." Before I can respond, he is gone.

About the Author
Chelsea Camaron was born
and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern
Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina
day dreaming. Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let
fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was
going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her
own advice. Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from
that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which
just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading
has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in
the works. When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing
with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of
her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any
movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is
still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and,
Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to
embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the
simple things in life and how to always have fun.
