I also wouldn’t mind kissing him, just to shut him up. And then he sends me a note: “When you bite into a cherry, just know that I’m imagining the same. Your legs over my shoulders. My mouth tasting your sweet heat. Your fingers tugging at my hair. I want you, Claire. But you already know that, don’t you?” Under all that sex appeal and swagger is a man who won’t stop until he’s left me breathless... From the author: BREATHLESS is the first of my Love Serials, a reader-based novella that took place on my website over the course of Summer 2017. Each week, readers cast their votes for what they wanted to happen next in the story. I didn't know what would happen. My readers didn't know what would happen. What transpired were ties, blindsides, and a good dose of sexy-times. I hope you will enjoy Jake & Claire's story, and I hope to see you in the voting during the next Love Serial...which begins on December 14th! Happy reading. xoxo
