Excerpt:
The door handle seems stiff when I realise its locked. What the fuck! I shake the handle and yell.
βOpen the fucking door!β I no longer contain my rage not giving whoever has the audacity to lock themselves in my bedroom time to comply with my demand. I step back and with one fierce kick I boot the door wide open. A sharp shrill scream competes with the sound of the cracking door frame and splintering wood.
Not what I was expecting. The trembling girl in front of me, her white knuckles fiercely gripping the handle but her hold is wobbly and she weakly waves my baseball bat at me.I instantly step forward and swipe it from her grasp. She yelps and jumps back against the wall. Her dark blue eyes are wide with terror and I get a sudden pang in my chest that I am causing this distress. I drop the bat and walk to my closet all the while keeping my eyes fixed on her. She looks scared shitless which is understandable. I guess I might look a little scared if some strange naked guy crashed into my room. But this is my room and Iβm not the stranger she is. But yes, I am naked and I need to fix that. I pick the first set of shorts I can find and slip them on. I can see her visibly relax and I like that I have done that.
βWho are you?β Her voice waivers but she coughs and straightens her shoulders in a display of faux confidence. It makes me smile which seems to irritate her.
βMy apartment darlingβ¦ I get to ask the questions.β My tone is clipped. Yeah I can be irritated too. I have had way too little sleep and currently have a hard on that wonβt go away. Her eyes keep dipping to take in my tenting crotch which honestly isnβt helping. βWhat are you doing in hereβ¦taking a break from the performance?β She is almost naked herself. Her slim bare legs peek below a skinny T-shirt that look familiar. Itβs mine or at least used to belong a girl I went to school with. She must have left it here when she visited from University. It has St Andrews University blazoned across the front and it is far too small to fit me. So apart from my clothing she doesnβt appear to have anything else onβ¦certainly no bra. Interesting.
βWhat?β Her shocked tone piqued with insult halts my wayward thoughts.
βAre you taking a break from the show I just broke up?β I speak slowly and I know my patronising tone is causing the fury to flash in her crystal blue eyes. I tip my head toward the other room, to the highlight my point and the scene of the crime.
βOh absolutelyβ¦and the locked door is all part of my foreplay!β She crosses her arms tightly around her chest which just lifts her breasts that little bit higher.
βItβs effectiveβ My face fails to hind my amusement. βRude to point.β I fail again to hold in a laugh but then Iβm not really trying. This is the most fun I have had in a long time. SheΒ instantly cups the offending nipples with her hands and flashes bright red.
βOh my God! Sky said you were cool but youβre actually an arsehole!β Her haughty tone, however, is my breaking point. I stride over to her and grab her elbow. She yelps at my tight grip and I easily drag her from my room. There is practically nothing to her, except delicately soft skin under my finger tips, masses of unruly jet black waves and fierce piercing blue eyes. I open the front door and deposit her outside on the landing in her bare feet.I go to close the door.
βWait!β She screeches. I hold the door and regard her cooly through the gap. βMy clothesβ¦all my clothes are in your washing machine.β
βWhy?β I am confused but she looks like I have just asked the dumbest question.
βI used you laundry facilities. Sky said I could. Iβll pay for the washing tablet but I need my clothesβ¦you have all my clothesβ¦.β She bites her words out and I fight back a grin. She is in no position to be snarky with me.
βNot all you clothes.β I casually glance at the T-shirt she has borrowed from one of my draws.
Her eyes dip to where my gaze is focused and she tugs at the material for emphasis. βThis is yoursβ¦I just used it while mine where washing. Everything I own is in your machine!β She is fighting her frustration. I can see the way she is biting her cheek that she is just itching to tell me all her deepest desires. No, sheβs itching to rip my fucking bollocks off but I like my internal fantasy better.
βYou are rightβ¦that is my T shirt.β I cup my hand in the universal sign language of βhand it overβ. The shock on her face is priceless.
βWhat? No!β She shouts out indignantly.
βMy T-shirt. You either give it to me or I will take it from you.β She takes a step back and crosses her arms once more. Itβs cute her tiny frame trying to emanate any kind of barrier.
βYou wouldnβt?β Her voice is a whisper and her eyes are wide like saucers, deep blue mesmerising saucers. I step up to her but donβt say a single word. I silently waitβ¦and wait. Her eyes narrow and she huffs. βYouβre an arseholeβ¦you know that?β I waitβ¦ βFine!β She steps away creating enough space to roughly pull the T-shirt from her body before flinging it with some considerable force at my face. Not the first time today I catch the missile aimed at my head but this time I hold it. She has cupped her breasts. I was right, no bra. My eyes flick down her body and my mouth slides into the smuggest smile I can manage.
βNoβ¦no please.β Her breathy pleas go straight to my cock which would be caged in a pair of loose fitted boxer shorts but she is wearing them. Well, she is wearing one pair of them at least. Even with the tight elasticated waste the oversized underwear hangs deliciously from her slender hips. Her delicate curves no match for the might of gravity pulling the shorts further down her body exposing even more skin.
βOh dearβ I say solemnly but with no remorse. βThose would be mine also I believe hmmm?β I tap my finger lightly on my chin as if pondering this great conundrum. βWhat to do? What to do?”
βPlease Ethan.β My name on her lips soundsβ¦strangeβ¦familiarβ¦sexy. I like it and fuck, I could get used to that pleading.
βIβm nothing if Iβm not a gentleman.β I offer but just as she steps forward misunderstanding the limits of my chivalry, I push the door closed in her face. I let her keep the pants.

Dee Palmer hates talking about herself in the third person so I wonβt. My husband had my iPod engraved one Christmas with βsing like no-oneβs listeningβ and I know my family actually wish they werenβt listening because I am, in fact, tone deaf but it doesnβt stop me and this gentle support has enabled me to fulfil a dream. This has been a truly brilliant experience, I wrote The Choices Trilogy back to back and released them this year just one month apart…Don’t you hate waiting for the next book in a series? The entire process has undoubtedly been made possible by my incredibly supportive family. I know this is very much an acknowledgment but I know I wouldnβt be writing even this single paragraph if it wasnβt for them so this is about who I am, I am because they let me be.
