I know you all have been waiting for this one for a long time. Planning the Naughty Mafia Rocks Vegas took up most of my time for the last two months, and my writing really suffered. Please just know I am working tirelessly to get this story ready for a late September/early October release like I stated before. Right now the story is flowing and, fingers crossed, I can make my September 10th deadline to my editor.
Thank you all for sticking by me and the Black Falcon guys. I love each and every one of you to tiny bits and wouldn't write if you all still didn't want to continue this journey with me. I have a few non-Black Falcon related contemporary, New Adult stories coming up too and I hope to share more about those in the coming months. But, for now, here's the beginning of chapter one of Rock the Beat.
This novel will be dual point of view like Rock My Bed and Rock My World. I can't wait to share the rest with you!

Rock the Beat
Chapter 1
Closer
Holly
Why are all the
really hot men either gay or taken? I swear, I don’t think there’s one decent
man left in Tucson
It’s nineties
night in one of the hottest clubs in town, and I love to dance. It’s the
perfect combination to wipe away the memories of a man that’s done me wrong.
“I told you this
would be great,” Max tells me as he dances with me to the beat of a Roxette song blaring through the speakers. “You’ll be saying
Jackson who by the time we leave this heavenly bar filled with hot men.”
I giggle and take
another sip of my Sex on the Beach compliments of Max and my fake ID. “This was
a great idea to celebrate the one year anniversary of getting dumped on my
birthday by the biggest jackass in the state.”
Max laughs and his
brown hair falls over the corner of his left eye before he takes me by the hand
ready to spin me. “That was the best thing that ever happened to you, Holly.
Trust me. He didn’t appreciate what he had.” He raises his glass of soda.
“Here’s to a new start in your twenties, may they be better than your teen
years.”
“I’ll drink to
that!” A tingle erupts in my hands, signaling I’ve nearly hit my limit, but I’m
not about to let this yummy drink go to waste. Plus, it’s hot in here. I down
the last of it and hand Max the glass. “One more?” I give him the best pleading
puppy-dog eyes I can manage.
I’m not ready to
stop having fun yet.
He sighs. “One
more, and that’s it. We’re leaving while you can still walk out of here.”
I throw my arms
around his neck, leaning up on my tip-toes and kiss his cheek. “Thanks, Max.
You’re the bestest friend and designated driver a girl could ever have.”
He laughs.
“Remember how much you love me when you’re praying to the porcelain god in the
morning cursing me for letting you drink so much.”
“Deal,” I tell him
as I release him and continue to rock my hips to the beat.
Before I know it,
there’s a body pressed up against my back, dancing in-time with me. The music
pumps all around us and the amount of drinks I’ve consumed has my head swimming
a little. I close my eyes and lean my head against the hard chest behind me and
breath in the spicy scent of the guy’s cologne. He smells mouth-watering, I
just pray when I turn around he’s as hot as what my imagination is running wild
with.
The song changes
and our bodies move in sync to the erotic beat of Closer
by Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor’s voice growling
through the speakers about fucking causes a strange flutter of arousal to come
over me.
The guy behind me
feels it too. Our dance turns slow and sensual as he grinds himself into my
ass. Both of his hands run down my bare arms then rest on my hips. He jerks me
against him even tighter and then brushes my hair to the side. I should stop
him, but it’s so long since I’ve been touched like this I don’t want it to end.
I like it too much. The feel of his nose gliding against my neck causes my
mouth to drift open and I allow myself to enjoy his close proximity.
“I want to fuck you
like an animal,” the stranger growls in my ear before biting my earlobe.
Normally, this guy
would be getting a fist to the face right about now, but because it’s been a
little while since I’ve been with a man, and I’ve been drinking, I’m going to
allow it—if he’s cute, that is.
Hell, if he’s as
hot as he sounds, I might just drag him into an empty bathroom stall and let
him do exactly what he wants with me.
I turn slowly with
my eyes closed, praying to the hotness gods to take pity on me. My gaze lands on a toned chest wearing a
tight, black t-shirt. Good so far. My eyes travel further up and I take in the
light beard on his face beneath his strong jaw-line before my gaze locks onto
his bright green eyes.
Not only is he
hot, and this may be just the booze talking, but he’s beautiful. He could be
possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. I lick my lips and allow him to
tighten his grip on my hips and mash me against his body harder. My fingers
dart out and run down his pecs before I wrap them around his neck and allow him
to rock my body with his to the sensual beat of the song.
The devilish smirk
he’s wearing draws my attention to his mouth. No man should have lips that
inviting. I bite my own to keep them from attacking his. This man would be the
perfect fling to take my mind off Jackson
The beautiful
stranger notices the expression on my face, and without asking permission he
leans downs and presses his lips to mine. I close my eyes and allow his greedy
tongue entrance into my mouth. Every inch of my body comes alive and goose
bumps erupt from my flesh as I open myself up to him.
I could do this
all night. Wait scratch that. I want to do more than this all night with him
and I don’t even care that I don’t know even know his name. Isn’t the second
person you sleep with supposed to be the complete opposite of the first one?
Where I’d known Jackson practically my entire life, this guy is a total
stranger that’s very capable of surprising me and then I never have to see him
again.
He pulls away and
leans his forehead against mine. “Come home with me.” My heart thunders in my
chest while his tongue darts out and licks my lips before my drunken brain even
has time to process his request. “I promise you’ll love the way I fuck you.”
I sigh heavily. If
his kissing skills are any indication of what sleeping with him will be like, I
have no doubt I’ll love it. This is exactly what I need.
Just as I’m ready
to agree to it, I’m jerked away and the stranger furrows his brow as I’m tugged
through the crowd. Once I’m out of the hot guy’s line of sight, I turn to Max
who has taken it upon himself to pull me away from a guy I was about ready to leave
with.
I jerk my arm
away. “What the hell are you doing?”
Max stops in his
tracks, and I stagger and fall into his six foot frame. “I’m saving your ass.”
I throw my hands
on my hips. “My ass didn’t need saving, it needs laid.”
Max laughs and
shakes his head. “Yeah, you probably do need that. You’ve been extra bitchy
lately.”
“Hey.” I smack his
arm.
He wraps his arms
around my shoulders and leads me up the steps to reach the bar overlooking the
dance floor. Once we’re up there he turns us around so we can watch the people
dancing. “When you give up your cookie again, don’t give it to a guy like
that.”
My eyes search the
crowd until they land on the beautiful stranger I was just dancing with who now
has that magical tongue in some blonde bimbo’s mouth. I roll my eyes and wish
my short legs were long enough to reach up and kick my own ass. “I’m such an
idiot. Thanks, Max.”
Max squeezes my
shoulder. “Of course, what are friends for? You’re too good for a guy like
that. Don’t ever date another biker jerk like Jackson or that guy. They don’t
understand how special you are.”
I sigh and lean my
head on Max’s shoulder. “Why can’t you be straight? You’re the perfect man for
me.”
He chuckles beside
me. “My life would be a whole lot easier if I was. Come on. Let’s get you home,
drunk-ass, before I have to peel you off another huge mistake with a penis.”
We turn and leave
the club, once outside of the loud music and away from the sexy man who had me
ready to chuck everything I stand for in order to have one sinful night with
him, I feel relieved. I have no idea how this guy had so much power over me,
but at least I’ll never have to see him again. Too much time alone with a man
like him would have me breaking every person rule I’ve ever set for myself.
Thank god that’ll never happen.
