Blurb: Fool me once, shame onyou. Fool me twice…
Drew is the lastperson Skylar wanted to see across from her at a local bar. A month ago he'dwined and dined her all weekend, leaving her feeling fully in love, but thenshe awoke alone in an empty hotel room and she hadn't heard from him since.
The weekend Drew spentwith Skylar was phenomenal. There had never been anyone who made him feel ascomplete as she did. He shouldn't have disappeared, he should have called, buthis feelings for her scared him, so he distanced himself. But when he saw heragain, he knew he couldn't stay away any longer.
Skylar's determinednot to give Drew another chance to hurt her, but he's just as determined to winher back. Although it won't be easy, he's up to the challenge, and he's willingto do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal.
Excerpt:
What the hell was he doing there? Skylar was finished with her aerobics class. Grabbing a bottle of water and squirting some in her mouth, she checked her schedule. She had an hour before her next class. That meant she had an hour to figure out what he was doing at this gym.
Taking a towel, she wrapped it around her neck and wiped off the sweat. She headed out of the room, intent on finding him. He was easy to spot. He was in the cardio area, in the back row like a typical man, watching the ladies' butts jiggle as they worked out. Rolling her eyes, she started his way.
"Hi, Drew," she said sweetly.
He turned off his machine and grabbed his water bottle. She watched as he touched it to his full lips, taking in a long sip.
"If you're done, do you mind following me so we can talk a minute?" she asked. She knew a confrontation in the middle of the gym wouldn't look good for either her or the business.
"Sure."
Spinning around, she headed toward the staff only break room. Once there she stepped aside so he could come in. Luckily the place was empty. She shut the door and locked it.
"What are you doing here?" She placed her hands on her hips, trying to portray she was irritated by him, when all she really wanted was to feel his mouth on her again.
"Honestly, I had no idea you would be here."
"Yeah, and I should believe that. I haven't seen you in a month until last night and then today you show up at my work place."
He took a seat, clearly worn out from his run. "My company just switched gyms. I was having a tough morning, so I wanted to blow off some steam by taking a run."
"Sounds convenient," she retorted.
"Shit, I didn't know you would be here. It's a plus though." He eyed her belly, and she imagined his tongue there, licking her sweat off.
Silence filled the room. She didn't know whether to believe him or not. His explanation sounded logical, and she would hate to think fate worked this out. Fate was what she first thought brought him into her life to begin with. He seemed so perfect for her. When they made love, it was so hot it almost seemed like sparks were flying off their bodies. At least at the time she considered it making love. Now she knew it was just sex to him, nothing more.
"Come here." He motioned to her.
She snickered. "I don't think so."
"Please, I just want to feel you again."
"Ain't happening, buddy. You had your chance." She knew all she had to do was resist him; that was the hardest part.
He reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to him. Yanking away from him, she took a step backward.
"Come on, Sky, I know you still have feelings for me."
"Oh, I definitely have feelings for you, just not the ones you're hoping for."
He chuckled. "You know, there's a thin line between love and hate."
"That line is pretty thick for me."
"I'm not so sure."
"I am." At least she hoped.
He stood, closing in on her. As he stepped toward her, she found herself once again flat against the wall. Shit, how does this keep happening? His mouth was too close for comfort. Her eyes drifted to it for just a second, knowing it was a mistake.
"This is not a good idea," she whispered. Desire stirred in her.
"I want to have you. I need to have you. You're all I have wanted."
Placing her hands on his toned chest, she pushed him back. "You're not doing this to me again, got it?"
"I will win you back," he said.
Tasty little excerpt wouldn't you agree?
I received Fool Me Once for my honest review.
Fool Me Once is the first short novella in Lacey Wolfe's Hot Bod Series. This little ditty of a novella is an erotica, and with a high heat level. The dialogue between Drew and Skylar were perfect, as was the dialogue between them and Skylar's roommate Amy. I felt both Drew and Sky were nicely fleshed out, the conflict and resolution to them were right on time and overall it is a good read.
It is a short read, you'll finish it in one sitting and be left wanting more, which is perfect because Fool Me Once is only the first novella. And I can't wait to read Amy's story in More than Useful.
