Zach let’s out a
low whistle as we pull onto my street. “Wow, looks like I’m dating a spoiled,
little, rich girl.”
“I’m far from
rich. The Judge is the one that’s loaded, not me,” I remind him.
He shrugs
nonchalantly. “Maybe so, but I guarantee you never went without.” When I don’t
immediately have a snappy come back to argue that I didn’t have a childhood
like that, he smiles. “That’s what I thought.”
The truth is I had
it made as a kid as long as I played by my parent’s rules. I was never one
really to step outside the perfect child role they expected my brother and I
to play, but I didn’t fully embrace the uppity lifestyle, either—which probably
explains why in college I started dating the bad-boys. They were so different
from the guys I grew up with in high school. They typically hate rules and love
their freedom, and deep-down I discovered the same thing about myself once I
was out in the real world and could make my own decisions.
Zach pulls into
the drive and cuts the engine before turning his head my direction. “Anything
else I need to know before I walk in there?”
My mind wonders
through a few scenarios of how this first meeting is going to go down. The last
boy I brought home was clear back in high school, and he was nothing like Zach.
While my mother knows I tend to get my heart crushed by loser men, she’s never
had the pleasure of meeting my new type. She’s used to seeing me with uptight
jerks like Isaac, so I’m not sure how she’ll react. I pray they remember their
manners and are polite to him, whether they approve of our relationship or not.
Not one piece of
advice to give to Zach flits through my mind, but I want to reassure him. “Just
be your charming self and they’ll love you.”
He flicks his eyes
towards the large, two-story, brick home in front of us. “I can’t get over the
size of this place. Lawyers really make that much?”
“The good ones
do.” I touch his hand on the gear-shift. “Remember, my dad takes his job pretty
seriously, so don’t crack jokes about it. My father actually prefers that my
brother, Gabe and I call him The Judge like the rest of this town.”
Zach raises his
brow. “Maybe I should have you start calling me Guitar God. Might be kind of
fun, especially in the bedroom. What do you think?”
I smack his arm.
“I think you better keep dreaming, because that’s so not happening.”
He laughs as he
opens his door. I take a second to appreciate the view when he walks around the
front of the car. His jeans hang low on his hips, but yet hug his butt perfectly,
accentuating the curve, making it almost yummy enough for me to want to take a
nibble. The white t-shirt he’s wearing gleams against his toned, tattooed
forearms as he reaches up and tugs on the hat that’s hiding his trademark
hairstyle. He’s so freaking hot. How did I get this lucky?
Lost in the
thought of how sexy he is, I jump when he opens my door and clutch my chest.
He stares down at
me with those sparkling, green eyes with a perplexed expression. “You alright
there?”
A blush fills my
cheeks as I stand up. “Never better.”
Zach wraps his
arms around my shoulders and grins. I inhale the spicy scent of his cologne mixed
with the soap he uses. “You were thinking naughty thoughts about me again,
weren’t you?”
I bite my lip but
never look away from the challenge in his eyes. “Maybe I was.”
A growl escapes
his lips as he pushes his hips against me, allowing me to feel the growing
erection in his pants against my belly. “Damn it, Kitten. See what you do to
me. I swear to God I’m on like a fucking light switch whenever the thought of
you and sex enter my head at the same time. You’ve ruined me for life.”
I laugh and run my
hands up and down his back. “I’m glad I’ve ruined you for all other women. I
want to keep you all to myself.”
“You don’t ever
have to worry about that, babe.” He reaches up and tucks a strand of my auburn
hair behind my ear. “If I have it my way, you’ll be stuck with me forever.”
His thumb traces
my chin and he leans in and presses his lips softly to mine. My legs below me
instantly turn to jelly and I sink further into him. It’s amazing the affect a
simple kiss from this man can do to me. It was one simple kiss from him that
first night backstage that turned my world on its head and changed everything
in my life. For him—for this love we have—I would do anything. This man is my
world.
On their own
accord, my lips part and I allow his tongue to slip inside my mouth. I grip his
shirt in my hands, holding on tight as I get lost in how much my body craves
him.
Lean muscle pushes
against me and I steady myself against the car for support. Zach’s fingers
thread into my hair and a small whimper escapes my lips when he pulls away and
kisses the corner of my mouth before working his way across my cheek to the
spot just below my ear that drives me crazy. My head falls back as he runs a
hand down my side.
We probably look
semi-pornographic making out in my parent’s driveway, but I don’t care. Zach
brings out a wild side in me even I didn’t know existed—a true rebel willing to
risk anything for the man who makes me feel this good. His touch is pretty damn
addictive.
He sighs against
my skin. “We should probably go in before someone reports the tattooed man
mauling The Judge’s daughter to the cops.”
“To hell with the
neighbors,” I breathe, not wanting to loose this feeling.
Zach chuckles. “As
much as I would like to give the neighbors a hell of a show by fucking you on
the hood of this car, I don’t think it’s the best idea. I actually want your
family to like me.”

***FULL BOOK BLURB***
Rock My World (Black Falcon, #2.5)
After Aubrey Jenson is wrongly dismissed from her job at
Center Stage Marketing, she seeks legal advice from her father, The Judge, to
see what grounds she has to get her position reinstated. Her surprise visit to
her family doesn’t go as smoothly as she hopes when she brings home her new
boyfriend, Zach, Black Falcon’s lead guitarist. She soon discovers that father
doesn’t always know best when it comes to matters of the heart.
When Zach meets Aubrey’s family, he’s immediately faced with
his deepest fear: The love he so desperately wants, he doesn’t deserve. The
Judge makes no attempt to hide his disdain for Zach, and will stop at nothing
to keep him away from his daughter. But an unexpected twist turns everyone’s
plans upside down and no one’s world will ever be the same.
Outside forces attempting to pull them apart are strong and
it’s going to take every bit of Zach and Aubrey’s love for one another to
withstand the fall-out. Soon, they discover making love last is harder than
finding it to begin with and sometimes you pay the ultimate price for true love.
