1, Chapter 1: Secrets

Melissa

In the cool darkness of the semi-crowded

bar, I study the glass in front of me and consider my journey. Memories of my

old life fade like smoke in a glass. The shame that held me so tightly now

dances at the edges of my mind like the whisper of a bad dream, a flicker of

shadows that no longer make sense in my world.

Young women in their shiny slip dresses twist and laugh on the dance floor, but

instead of resentment, my lips melt into a smile. My old self—cynical, bitter,

defeated—is a memory I have to work to recall. These days I could dance all

night with them, but I’d rather spend my energy on other activities.

The slim glass holds a pale amber liquid, and I can’t resist taking a sip. An

involuntary wince pinches my eyes as I put it down. Seven and seven. Refreshing

citrus dragged down by the heavy undertone of whiskey. So gross.

Sliding my palms over my thighs, I realize my outfit isn’t much different from

those girls on the dance floor. The deep red silk is fitted at my waist, and

drapes loosely over my torso. My long dark hair is swept over one shoulder

revealing a thin spaghetti strap. I lightly touch the delicate gold chain

around my neck leading to the floating heart pendant that sits between my

collarbones, and light glances off the thick gold cuff on my wrist.

Unlike that first night, I’m alone here. My best friend Elaine is miles away

with her new husband, most likely indulging in that blissful honeymoon period

of early marriage. Make that, most certainly indulging. I know those two very

well.

I came by myself to the bar in Princeton after finishing my business with a

client in town. My infant son is back in Wilmington, spending the weekend with

his grandmother. Studying my hands, I admire the deep blue sapphire ring on my

finger, but I have no wedding band.

At thirty-two, I’m an unmarried mother of a beautiful little boy, and I

wouldn’t change a thing… Yet. The tiny silver scar at my hairline reminds me of

what a bad marriage is, and with my successful marketing business and the

gorgeous cottage at the beach that I own, I’m satisfied with my life, calm. Not

desperate. I’ll take my next steps deliberately, with confidence.

All these thoughts preoccupy my mind when I blink up and catch him watching me

from across the square-shaped bar. Blue eyes, strikingly blue because of the

way they stand out beneath his dark brow, coupled with collar-length thick dark

hair.

He’s massive, at least six-two, and elegantly dressed with a thick stainless

watch on his wrist. I can spot his type a mile away—rich, powerful, accustomed

to getting whatever he wants… I know what he wants. A smile teases at the

corner of my mouth. No coincidence I happened to look up at that exact moment

to catch his gaze.

He starts to move, but his eyes never leave mine. I don’t look away either. I

also know what I want. Thick cords of muscle ripple beneath the thin black

sweater he wears as he glides past the oblivious patrons talking and laughing.

Some are more animated than others, waving their arms and putting their drinks

in peril. A close beard shadows his face, and the muscles low in my pelvis

tighten at the thought of how it will feel brushing the soft skin of my inner

thighs...

About the Courage

Anthology Charity

www.avonwalk.org/goto/50shadesofpink

All proceeds from sales will benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer via the Fifty Shades of Pink team.

FIFTY SHADES OF PINK team is made up of a group of girlfriends who raise funds annually to participate in the Avon 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk in Santa Barbara, CA.

For one weekend in September, we wake up before the crack of dawn, dress in as much Pink as humanly possible and prepare to walk for 39.9 miles.

We suffer and laugh through:  

•       Torn muscles which require surgery

•    Blisters that are almost covering your entire foot and body parts you never realize you could get a blister on (ButtCrackGate 2013)

•        Passing out in the triage medical unit

•        Sleeping in a tent on the grass

•        Taking the best mobile showers EVER

•        Limping like old ladies

•        Cursing at the curbs to get onto the sidewalk (Walk 39 miles and you will be cursing at them too).

We do this all in the hopes that no other Mother, Sister, Aunt or Friend will have to deal with Breast Cancer.

***Money raised from the anthology will go towards the 2015 Avon Walk***

*** UPDATE BY AUTHOR...I have some EXCITING news. I decided to write a new novel under the pen name, K.A. Hunter (will add links when they become available). I'm not hiding behind the name but this novel, and others that will follow, is more raw and definitely grittier than my Intertwined Hearts series. The first 4 chapters have been written into a short story that will appear in an anthology in February 2015 and I anticipate publishing the full novel around July 2015. Those that have read it confirm that it's nothing like what I've written before and they were blown away. Can't even tell you how happy that makes me :D

Insatiable Hunger & Will You Be My Valentine (Two Stories) by Jade C. Jamison

For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more "literary" fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today--sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light stories--but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn't confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance.

She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.
