Escape From Reality (15 page)
The confusion
on his face deepened, his dark brows furrowed.
“Oh…”
“I came to ask
you…I don’t have my keys.” He tilted his head, suddenly hesitant. “I’m sorry, I
know this is going to sound crazy.”
He took a step
toward Leila. She held her breath.
“I…have you
ever have that feeling like you know someone, even though you just met them?’
Leila nodded.
“I have.” Her voice was nothing more than whisper.
Sebastian took
another step. Leila could feel the warmth of his body, and she waited.
He reached out,
tentatively, then dropped his hand. His eyes searched hers and in that moment,
she saw a flash of emotion. “It’s like I know you…more than just know you. I
mean, like I’ve met you before. It’s like we…” His voice was low, intense.
“It’s like we
were together, somehow…somewhere.” He shook his head. “I know. That all sounds
crazy. I sound crazy…”
“No…” She
reached out, her hand on his arm. “Do you believe in fate, Sebastian?”
Leila took a
step forward, reached up, and touched Sebastian’s cheek. Wordlessly, he folded
her into his arms, the truth hanging heavy in the air around them.
His lips found
hers, and they felt just as she remembered, warm, strong, and just as
possessive. The kiss deepened and every emotion she’d felt on the island came rushing
back, and she poured it all into their kiss, giving herself freely to him.
Sebastian finally
tore his lips away with a growl, holding Leila at arm’s length, eyes searching
hers.
“Fate, you say?”
He shrugged, smiled, and in that smile, Leila saw the confidence she’d known in
Sebastian on the island. He pulled her against him once again, his arms banding
tightly around her, and pressed his lips to her ear, his voice a low growl.
“In that case, there’s
no sense in fighting it.”
He brushed her
hair back from her neck, his mouth lowering to hers. This time his kiss was
soft and slow, nipping at her lips and stroking her tongue.
Leila moaned, losing
herself in his powerful embrace. She wasn’t sure how their story would
end, but she had a feeling that she’d have a lifetime to figure it out.

Yours Truly,
Taddy by Avery Aster
The year is
2002 and eighteen-year-old Manhattanite Taddy Brill is booked on a Candy Land
inspired photo shoot at the island of Eden’s Licorice Castle. Three famed
French photographers working the set want her to be sexy and playful for the
camera.
Sounds easy, right?
Not for this glamazon dressed as Princess
Lolly—she’s a virgin. Luckily she jetted into this paradise with her two
besties Lex Easton and Vive Farnworth for lights, camera and…candy?
Reader warning:
This stand-alone full length novel contains raunchy, new
adult humor, sugar-kink activities with three men at the same time, underage
champagne consumption and psychedelic drug use. It’s a trip. For fans of The
Carrie Diaries and Gossip Girl comes
The Undergrad Years
, a coming of
age prequel series offering readers a glimpse into the lives of
The
Manhattanites
as they graduate from boarding school. Taking place a decade
prior, each stand alone novel is cliff-hanger free and features a happy for now
(HFN) ending.
Random Acts
Of Fantasy by Julia Kent
You ever really
think that you'll win the lottery? Meet Mr. Right? How about two Mr. Rights?
Somehow the
universe is handing me everything I want (except for that lottery part...), and
I don't like it. Not one little bit. Because just when you get all your dreams
handed to you on a silver platter, that's when an airplane dumps its sewage on
your house. Or your mama's diabetes takes a bad turn. Or your mobile phone gets
stuck in your hoohaw.
(What? It
happens…)
Boring old
average me got everything I wanted already, moving from small-town Ohio to
big-city Boston to follow my heart. So when the fancy invitation offering me a
pile of money to come with the band, Random Acts of Crazy, to perform on an
island resort and be their manager arrived, I thought it was a cosmic joke.
Enough money to help my mama get what she needed, five days in sunny paradise,
and a shot at greatness for the band? Unreal. One big shoe was waiting to drop.
On my head.
Just like no
one really ever finds a naked man wearing only a guitar standing by the side of
the road hitchhiking and ends up falling in love with him and his friend and
moving halfway across the country for true love, no one gets an invitation to
come to what turns out to be a resort where people make what me and Joe and
Trevor do together look like a chaste peck on the cheek. But...
Well.
I guess these
things do happen.
To me.
