Synopsis

The calm before the storm…

I lived in the quiet stillness.    
I felt the wind rustle, warning me, telling me to get out of its path.

But I didn’t.

I never stood a chance.

A series of weather and road mishaps leaves me trapped in the middle of a blizzard with a complete stranger.  In the back of a pickup truck. For forty-eight freakin’ hours.

A stranger with long hair, tattoos, and rippling with muscle.  
A stranger with an insanely sexy voice and a wicked smile that turned my insides to jelly.  
A stranger who held me in his arms, calmed me, and then set a fire in me that I couldn’t put out.

Storm lives up to his name. Beautiful. Dangerously inviting. Tumultuous. Dark. A clash of hot and cold.

He’s used to getting everything he wants.

And now he wants me.

Some people chase storms for the beautiful thrill. What happens when the storm chases you?





Excerpt 
(unedited)

He shifts beneath me a bit and leans his head against mine.  Being so close to him feels both strange and exhilarating.   Part of me wants to get as far away from him as possible but then a seemingly bigger part of me wants to stay right where I am, enveloped in the warmth of him, and keep feeling this strange tingling that is running through my body.  It’s a welcome distraction right now, to feel this instead of the fear that keeps creeping up on me.   I begin to slowly glide my fingers up and down his, my small fingers sliding in between his large, then slowly over the back of his hand.

His face is bent down besides mine, his mouth near my ear.  “No one’s ever touched my hand like that before.”  His voice is soft and raspy, just slightly above a whisper.  I freeze, not moving, not breathing.   Shit.  What am I doing?  “Don’t stop.  Please.”  His grip on my hand tightens a little, not wanting me to pull away, which I am definitely thinking of doing. Our hands began a dance of silent caressing, our fingers tangling, traveling slowly up and down the length of each other’s.  To be honest I’ve never felt anything so sensual in my life.

I couldn’t stop if I wanted to.   

He moves his leg slightly and my body moves with him and that’s when I feel his cock pressing against my ass.  A tiny gasp escapes me and I freeze for a moment but he gently pushes against me, his head still bent down against mine, brushing his nose gently against my ear.  He feels huge and hard against me and I can’t stop myself from arching back slightly and rubbing against him.  The faint erotic groan that comes from this massive muscular stranger behind me ignites something in me I do not even recognize.  His left hand moves slowly down my side and rests on my hip, gently pulling me against him as he grinds against me.  I can’t lie….he feels incredible even through his jeans.  I close my eyes and lean back further, my head resting on his right shoulder, the side of his face still buried in my hair.  Our right hands are still clasped together, and he slowly guides our hands between my legs to gently rub against my pussy through the thin material of my slacks.  Holy damn shit.  A surge of a thousand tiny lightening bolts races through my body.  He slowly moves his hand away from mine.  “Touch yourself.”  He whispers in my ear as he rests his right hand on my other hip, slowly pulling me back against his cock to meet his subtle thrusts against me.  I am so turned on that I feel delirious and dizzy.  I unbutton my slacks, pull the zipper down and slide my hand down under my panties and begin to rub my clit in slow circles, all the while arching my back against him and pressing his hard cock further against my ass.  My mind goes blank as we grind against each other, my finger lost in the wet folds of my sex.  I feel his lips on my ear, brushing a kiss against me, his breath becoming more ragged.  I have never touched myself in front of someone before but knowing he is watching me actually turns me on rather than humiliates me.

“Come for me, Evie…”

His words send me over the edge, and within seconds my entire body is shaking and quivering as I explode into orgasm, my free hand digging into his leg as I arch back against him, wanting to feel more of him.  He moves his hand back over mine and cups both of our hands over my wet mound as he grinds harder, his cock wedged between my ass cheeks.  I push my body slowly up and down his just a tiny bit, feeling the length of him.  He finally shudders beneath me, his hands gripping me tighter, his breath hot and heavy against my ear.  

We sit in silence in the dark, panting against each other.  I have no idea what the hell just happened.  I feel like I am slowly coming out of a trance.  I try to sit up but he pulls me back against him, his arm across my chest.  “No.”   His voice is still raspy.  It’s sexy as hell.  “Don’t move yet.”

As I come down from my orgasmic stupor, I am utterly ashamed of myself.  How could I have done such a thing?  It all happened so fast.  Shit.   I just dry humped a random strangers dick with my ass.  I really need to get out of this truck fast and get away from this guy before he completely undoes me.  I have never, ever touched another man.  There has only been Michael in every way.  I feel completely sick to my stomach.    I push his arm off me and sit up, disentangling myself from him like he’s an octopus on fire.  I move across the seat and button up my pants, not looking at him.

“Well that was one way to keep you quiet and non-sarcastic.”  He finally says.
“You’re a dick.”
“Ah, there’s my girl.  I knew you’d come back.”
