knowing what I want and going after it. I never doubted myself until I joined the military. And after all the shit I saw, I thought I would be incapable of ever doubting myself again until I met you.”
She finally looks up at me. “What do you mean?”
I don’t want to say it, but I know I have to. I’ll lose her if I don’t. “You make me remember things I didn’t want to remember, and feel things I didn’t want to feel. It’s…hard sometimes. But it’s worth it, too.”
Her eyes narrow in on my lips, losing focus. There’s more I want to say, but it’s still too soon and I’ll fuck it up anyway. I can barely think with her in my arms.
I tuck her hair behind her ears. “Ever since your first letter—”
She smiles. “Not the first one you liar.”
Alright, she had me there. “Fine. I think it was the tenth or something.”
“That’s more like it.”
I take a deep breath and lean in. She sobers, noticing the change in my demeanor.
“Ever since your tenth letter, you’ve been the only girl I wanted. So yeah, I want you to be strong, especially when I can’t be.”
Her grip on my biceps tightens. “Okay.”
I lean in slowly until our lips almost touch, intentionally driving her crazy, but not nearly as crazy as she’s driving me.
“I mean it,” I whisper. “No more running and no more of this one kiss bullshit. Because once I start kissing you, I’m not gonna stop. There is no fade to black in this fairy tale, Lily. This is about me and you and all the dirty things you wanted to do but were too afraid to write in your letters.”

Excerpt
Marcus waited for her just outside the door. So, no escaping. Not yet.
She opened her mouth to say something, and froze, startled by the way he studied her. Like he was seeing her for the first time. He ran one hand through his hair, tousling the rare neat style, leaving him even more devastating. His hair always reminded Leah of raven's wings - so black it had blue highlights. She forced herself to stop staring at his long, graceful fingers, to stop staring at him.
"Damn me," he whispered. "Screw the rules." He grabbed her hand, dragging her across the wide, crowded foyer.
Rules? What was he talking about?
She didn't have time to think about his cryptic statement as he pulled her down an empty hallway, stopping at the far end of a side exhibit. Oh, God - she was alone with him, only the prehistoric dioramas as witnesses.
"Marcus-"
"Finally." He pinned her to the wall, his hands braced on either side of her, and leaned in until his breath warmed her lips. "I never thought you'd say my name."
He shocked the breath out of her when he slipped one arm around her waist, hauled her forward and kissed her.
She dropped her clutch and grabbed the lapels of his perfect tux, moaning when his tongue traced the curve of her lower lip before slipping inside and driving her crazy. Her tongue warred with his, her body straining to get closer. She wanted to remember this kiss forever, since she expected him to come to his senses any second now and remember who she was.
Instead he hiked her up and trapped her between his body and the wall, rocking his impressive erection against her. The kiss turned raw, and she arched into him, every inch on fire. God--the things he could do
She finally looks up at me. “What do you mean?”
I don’t want to say it, but I know I have to. I’ll lose her if I don’t. “You make me remember things I didn’t want to remember, and feel things I didn’t want to feel. It’s…hard sometimes. But it’s worth it, too.”
