Synopsis:
Desperate to keep him...
I've finally gotten everything I ever wanted: love, freedom, happiness, and, most importantly, Finn. Our love is everything I expected it to be and more. We've finally found each other, but the world seems determined to tear us apart. We thought my father was the only obstacle between us, but now it's the military. With Finn’s departure looming, we’re squeezing in every moment together before we run out of time.
Trying to make every moment count…
Being Carrie’s bodyguard was one thing. Being her boyfriend is another. Every day she’s mine is a day the sun shines in my life. Yet our time together is running out. Her father will never think a tattooed Marine will be good enough, so I’ll do whatever it takes to be worthy of her love. But the road will take me away from the girl who makes me feel alive--the girl I can't live without.
Time only gets us so far...
Out Of Time

When
he closed his mouth over mine, I shut off my mind and stopped thinking. He’d
already told me all he could tell me about the call, so focusing on it wasn’t
the healthiest choice. We had to wait until this weekend to hear anything more.
Until then we were just sitting ducks.
And
if I was going to be forced to wait, then I’d do it my way.
He
picked me up and carried me to his bed. He was so hard and solid and it drove
me insane every time he moved his tongue over mine like that. His teeth scraped
my lower lip, and I whimpered into his mouth. His fingers moved over my butt,
slipping between my legs and rubbing against the spot where I needed him most.
As
he lowered me to the mattress, he started to climb on top of me, but I broke
the kiss and shoved at his shoulders. “No,” I said, locking gazes with him.
“It’s my turn. Just stand there.”
He
stilled, instantly giving me what I wanted. “Your turn for what?”
“Control,”
I said, my cheeks heating. “I want to undress you. And then I want to wrap my
lips around your...your...”
When
I drifted off, uncertain what to call his penis, he chuckled. “Cock. It’s a cock, Carrie. Say it.”
My
cheeks heated. I knew what it was called. It just sounded so dirty and wrong.
“Around your cock,” I said in a rush, my cheeks getting even hotter.
“Okay.”
He fisted his hands at his hips, watching me from beneath his lowered lids.
When he looked at me like that—like I was his dessert or something—it made
everything inside me quiver and beg for his touch so much it hurt. I licked my
lips and crawled to the edge of the bed on all fours. He twitched and took a
step toward me; as if he couldn’t hold himself back anymore, but then he
stopped.
He
stood there because I’d asked him to.
I
ran my hands over his chest, then up over his shoulders. Just touching him made
me feel like the luckiest girl in the world, and I wanted to do everything to
him. Everything in the romance books I read at night, and then more. Even though my mother had never
figured it out, I used to sneak them out of her library after she was finished
with them. I’d started it in sixth grade. Now I bought them with my own money.
And
I had a lot of ideas stored away in my mind that I wanted to try out on
Finn.
