Island Bound
by Kiru Taye
Blurb
Marriage has stripped their relationship of its thin, rose-tinted
coating, and bared their monochromatic existence for what it was. Will Joshua
and Christy get a second chance this holiday season?
When Christy
Inemi-Spiff discovers that the man she vowed to love and honor has no such
feelings for her, she’s determined to cut her losses and move on with her life.
A quick, quiet divorce is all she wishes for Christmas.
However, Joshua has other ideas. He’s not
ready to walk away yet, especially when he doesn’t understand why Christy wants
out of their marriage. So he demands she agree to spend a quiet Christmas on a
remote African Island with him, hoping
they can salvage their relationship. If she still wants a divorce after these
two weeks, he will let her go. But not before he’s had his fill of her.
But with the sparking tension between them,
and the secrets behind the disintegration of their marriage threatening to
explode, will either of them get their wish? Or will this season of good will
show them what really lies at the bottom of their hearts?
Excerpt
“Why are you doing this?” she challenged. Her emotions rolled, making
her feel unbalanced. It had been a long three months. And it seemed like today
was only going to get worse.
“Christy, you know the reason. If you stopped
long enough and thought about it hard, in your heart, you’ll know.”
“You can stop this.” She struggled to contain
her anger. “You started this; you can end it.”
“I know, but I won’t.”
“You, you—” Enraged, she lifted a hand to
slap him.
Joshua caught her hand midair, held it tight.
Before she could react, he pushed her back against the wall, pinning her to it
with his rigid body. Christy felt every bit of him, his strength, and his
physical nature that he never bothered to hide.
“I think I have the perfect answer for all
your bottled-up rage,” he said as he parted her thighs with his leg.
“Move,” she ordered, her throat dry and
croaky, betraying her increasing apprehension.
Joshua had it easy. He was a man at home with
his masculinity. She had never been able to resist him. He could have any woman
he wanted. Sometimes, she wondered if he had, especially during their
separation. She shouldn’t care if he’d been with anyone else. After all, her
goal was a divorce. Still, she couldn’t suppress the intensity of her feelings.
Perhaps her anger and hatred drove the concentration of her emotions.
“We have to get a few things sorted out
first,” he replied.
He moved closer, his body flush against hers;
his chest crushed her breasts, his thighs pressed against hers. Though she wore
cotton trousers and a tank top, all of him stroked her.
“What are you doing?” she asked as she pushed
against him.
He didn’t budge. “Just trying to relieve some
of your frustration. That’s what all your aggression has been about, isn’t it?”
“Rubbish!”
“Such vehement denial, when the evidence is
so obvious.”
Her face stung with revealing heat as warm
blood rose in her body. Mortified, she tried to move to shake him off, but only
managed to get her body even more entangled with his.
Her breathing came in short snatches. She
became more aware of Joshua, his hardness and heat.
“I hate you.” Her voice sounded strangled.
Blistering white rage swept through her.
“You lie, sweetheart.”
He lowered his head, trailing his lips
against her cheeks in a tormenting caress.
“You love me.”
