Synopsis –
*This is a crossover novella featuring characters from both the Seaside and Ruin series*
Lead singer of AD2 Demetri Daniels only wants one thing...
To marry the love of his life and make the day perfect for her.
Nothing is going right.
And it's about to get worse.
EXCERPT:
“What?” I
tilted my head. “Chicken out? No striptease? Man, not even any boob. It’s like
you’re too afraid to show me—“
She shoved
something into my right hand.
Something
lacey.
I looked
down and almost passed out into the seal tank.
A black lace
thong.
Her black
lace thong.
Holy shit,
it was still warm from her body.
“Ah—“ My
voice cracked like I was twelve.
“So…” Alyssa
wrapped her dainty arms around my neck. “…I gave a little. Eat the damn fish,
Demetri. That’s how these things work, don’t they?”
I nipped her
lower lip then pressed her against the closest wall, ready to strip off her
jeans and lay claim to what had been just out of my reach. “If I eat two fish,
what do I get?”
With a
sultry grin, she leaned up and whispered in my ear. “Use your imagination.”
“My
imagination tends to be graphic.”
“Good.” She
winked. “Mine too.”
“So maybe
I’ll eat three just to be safe.”
“Depends on
how many surprises you want in the next few hours.” She lifted her shoulder and
examined her nails like she didn’t care what I did.
I freaking
downed the rest of the cup of fish — swallowed them whole — then almost died a
slow death as the taste of fish permeated my mouth.
When I
looked up through teary eyes, Alyssa had her phone pointed in my direction,
laughing.
“Tell me—”
My voice was hoarse. I had to hit my chest to keep from gagging. “Tell me it’s
just a picture and not recording.”
“Say hi to
your Instagram followers,” she said cheerfully.
I flipped
the camera off.
She frowned.
I forced a
smile then gagged again. “The things I do for sex.”
“That’s the
best part, Dem.” Alyssa laughed. “You were getting it within a few hours
regardless. Duh, we’re getting married.”
“But…” I
shook my head. “…I thought this meant I skipped ahead a few steps, like when
you get the free-pass card in board games.”
“Name the
board game, and I’ll say yes.”
“Er, shit.”
I was a total blank. “Monopoly.”
She gave me
a thumbs-down. “But look on the bright side! You made me laugh and, honestly…
taking me back here, one of the most romantic things you’ve done in the last
few days. It’s where we argued, made out, talked—“
I nodded my
head. “It’s where I fell for you.”
She giggled.
“It’s where
my obsession with those eyes started,” I whispered. “It’s where I decided I
wasn’t going to go another day, live another second, without learning
everything I could about my taffy girl.”
“And so the
whore married the pimp,” she teased.
“I’m the
whore in this scenario, aren’t I?”
“Well, I’m
the supplier, so technically, I’m the pimp, right?”
We both
burst out laughing as an elderly lady walked by us and glared like we were
sitting in church talking about prostitution.
“Clambake.”
I held out my hand. “Then tomorrow…”
“Married.”
She clenched my fingers and let out a happy sigh.
