“There’s more to me than just the persona that the public sees. There’s darkness inside me that no one should have to experience, and that’s what I’m trying to protect you from. No one should have to live with my demons but me.”
- Phenomenal X by Michelle A. Valentine
Exclusive Excerpt: Meet Xavier and Ana!
Xavier’s heady stare bores into me as he approaches our table with a wicked grin. “Anna
Cortez.” He holds my purse out in front of him with one thick finger. “If I
didn’t know any better I would say you left this behind on purpose, just to see
me again.”
I roll my eyes at his cocky tone. “You wish.”
His grin widens even more at my snarky comment as I stand and reach for my bag. He
quickly wraps his fingers around it and jerks it just out of my grasp, teasing
me like one would do to a puppy with a toy. This is pure entertainment for him.
I grit my teeth as he holds it out again, only to repeat his silly little game
of “keep away.”The taunting causes a low growl to escape from between my teeth.
I throw my hands on my hips. “Give me back my stuff, you…you…big jerk.”
He throws his head back and laughs heartily which only pisses me off more. I’m not trying
to be funny. Can’t he see I’m being serious?
Those mesmerizing blue eyes twinkle with amusement. “Oh, a temper. I like that.
Careful, good girl, you’re going to lose that title soon if you get me all riled
up with your feisty little attitude. If I get too turned on, I’ll have no choice
but to take you right here in this bar.”
I curl my lip in a mock show of disgust, pretending like I wouldn’t love to know just how
worked up I’m getting him. I walk around the table to face him, determined to
get my things back. “Like I said, X, you wish.”
The easygoing vibe and boyish charm he exuded only seconds ago disappears as he
allows me to wrap my fingers around the strap of my purse that still dangles
from his finger. The moment I have a firm grip on it, Xavier grabs me by the
waist and pulls me tight against his body—the purse wedged between us is the
only thing keeping our chests from colliding. I stare up at his face, fully
aware of every point where our bodies touch.
Hands.
Hips.
Knees.
His hand pressing tightly against the small of my back.
The crazy idea of pushing forward a few inches and finding out what those sexy lips of his
taste like zings through me, and I bite my lip, causing his crystal-clear blue
eyes to drift down to my mouth before slowly moving back up to meet mine.
“You’re right, beautiful. I do wish.”
My mouth gapes open. Normally I would have responded with some sort of witty comment
telling him he didn’t have a chance with me, but I can’t deny the way I crave him.
I’m not sure how long we stay there like that, gazing into one another’s eyes, waiting
for the other to make the next move, or at least say something, but before I’m
ready Quinn’s voice drags me back to reality. “Anna, do you want to finish your
drink? The ice is melting.”
