Unspoken Truth Series
Synopsis:
"They say, the truth will set you free. My truth is
killing me."
Amber is starting over in a new state where no one knows
her. New roommate, new college and most
importantly new freedoms.
Away from home for the first time, Amber isn’t above using a
guy for one night and leaving it at that. She doesn't want to get tied down
with one person. She just wants to experience the college life and take
advantage of being on her own. So, when Amber’s new BFF Renee invites her to an
underground drag racing competition, Amber sets her sights on driver/playboy
Layne… and their attraction is mutual.
With his good looks and boyish charm, Layne is popular with
the ladies on campus, but Amber thinks one night with him is all she needs to
get him out of her system. Little does Amber know that Layne sees things
differently, and after their hookup he wants something more. Will Amber open up
and let Layne in, or will she run away?
Will the unspoken truth be too much for either of them to
handle?

Book Excerpt:
“So, are you ready doll face?” Renee asks, as I walk in just
after my last class.
“Do I have time to freshen up quick?” I ask, throwing my bag
on my bed.
“Sure, just make it quick. I don’t want to miss anything.”
“Actually, would you
mind if I drove myself? I was thinking of tracking Layne down after the race. I
haven’t seen him all week and I want to know why.”
“Okay, but I’ll tell you, you are asking for trouble,” she
states. “I’ll see you there then.” She walks out the door before I can even ask
what she meant by her comment. Shrugging my shoulders I rush to get freshened
up.
Ten minutes later, I’m ready and already headed to the
location. I punch the location into my GPS and let it guide me there. I finally
make it to the location and spot my red haired bestie. “I made it,” I say, as I
nudge her elbow. I see Dylan standing on the other side of her and he nods his
head at me.
My eyes immediately scan for Layne. As soon as I see the
gaggle of girls, I know he is near them. I just roll my eyes. Oh shit, he sees
me. The look he is giving me is intense
as his gaze lingers on me. I’m not sure what that means, but fuck. I watch as
he makes his way over toward me, and suddenly I’m nervous as my palms start to
sweat. I wipe them over my pants. Renee turns her head and wiggles her eyebrows
at me as she watches the scene unfold with me.
“Let’s go,” Layne says, tugging on my shirt sleeve. Oh fuck,
fuck, fuck, fuck.
I almost stumble a few times as he walks too fast for me to keep
up. Finally, I realize we are within walking distance of the garage he took me
to the other day. Once inside, I realize we are alone once again.
“Where the fuck have you been? And why haven’t you been in
class?” I finally manage the courage to ask.
“Shut up,” he states sternly. Instead of answering me, his
lips crash against mine as he presses my body against the wall and I wrap one
leg around his waist as I go with his lead. His kiss is intense, and his grip
on my leg is just as hard. Even though I know this is a bad idea I want him and
I want him now. I fumble with his belt, trying to get his pants off as quick as
possible because my panties are about to drop at any second. He kisses me with
such intensity that I’m having trouble catching up.
He breaks from the kiss and his eyes are filled with lust.
“I swear to god, if you don’t stop me now I will take you against the wall
right here, right now,” he says, breaking from the kiss and pressing his
forehead against mine. I contemplate my options, and know that the only option
is to do it one more time. Right now it feels right, and I’m sure one more time
is all I’ll need to get him out of my system. So, come on Layne, give a girl
what she wants. No regrets here, I think. I press my finger against his lips to
shush him. His lips crash with mine again and our bodies entwine with each
other. “I’m giving you one last chance to back out, because you deserve better
than this,” he says.
“If you’re not going to fuck me now then what am I doing
here? This is what you wanted, right?” I ask, finally having enough of his
game.
I unbutton my shirt, taunting him with the sight of my bare
skin. He takes a few steps back, and I watch as he runs his hands over his
short hair. His eyes turn and now his face is full of anger. I’m frozen in
place, because I’m not sure what he’s going to do. He pulls his arms back and
slams his fist into the wall not far from where I am, causing me to jump.
He walks over to me and gets as close to my face as
possible. “I don’t know if you are blind, or just plain spiteful. Can’t you see
I want you and possibly something more if you would just let me in? I’ve been
fighting with these feelings for long enough and it’s time to just get it out
in the open.” He places a hand on the wall on each side of me so I can’t
escape. Tears start to escape my eyes, because I know we could never be, even
if I wanted.
“I can’t do relationships. There is a reason beyond my
control and no matter how I feel, it’s there.” The words come out in whisper
and the tears continue to fall freely. I duck underneath his arm, surprised
that he lets me and make my way out of the garage and toward the crowd at the
race. I look back to see the look of defeat on his face. I’m sure he’s not used
to it and it starts to break me, but I know I have to walk away. He could have
any girl he wants, and he chooses the one he can’t have.
