EXCERPT: Waiting To Score

I slid my hand into his before I knew what I was doing. His palm was warm and solid and unexpectedly large. I dared a glance over my shoulder searching for that mop of dirty blond hair I didn’t want to see coming through the crowd. “Can I help you?” the guy beside me asked, glancing down at our joined hands, then at me. I turned to face him, my eyebrows shooting up my forehead.

My Block Universe Theory

Somewhere, in a parallel universe,
It’s still just you and me.

‘Getting a bit hefty there, babe.’
Tony’s words, still fresh, knocked around in Cecily’s mind like a rogue apple in a car boot. It wasn’t as though she didn’t know she’d put on a little weight – her recent wardrobe refresh was a testament to that – what she couldn’t fathom was what the hell it had to do with him.

Just Roll With It (18+)

“Oh my God, Tyler. Don’t stop,” Corinne panted in my ear, her tight body wrapped around me.
