Wrapping my arms around his neck and grabbing fistfuls of his hair, I find his mouth with mine and sweep my tongue against his lips. His beard is rough against my face and it’s scratching it, but I don’t care. It’s been way too long since I’ve felt this man’s mouth on mine.
Pulling back, he grabs my hips and lifts me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. His hands cup my ass and he squeezes. He kisses me hard. “You’re going to marry me, Alexia Sloane!”
I look at him, shocked. “Are you asking me to marry you?”
He shakes his head no. “No, it’s not a question. You are going to marry me. Not today, but soon. Very soon!”
Laughing, I say, “Yes, Sir.”
He swats my ass. “Good answer. That’s always the proper response.” He drops me on the bed. I bounce. Climbing up on my knees, I grab for his belt. Slapping my hands away from him, he smiles at me. I frown. What the hell?
He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out something. He leans over me. “Give me your hand, Lexi!”
“Huh?”
Impatiently, he pushes me back, and I lose my balance falling onto my back on the bed. He reaches over and kisses me gently. I hear a box open and he slides something onto my ring finger. Pulling away from him, I look at my hand. A gorgeous, huge pink and white diamond ring is sitting on my finger. My mouth opens wide, and I stare at him. He smirks and rubs my finger, where his ring is sitting pretty.
“I told you we were getting married. I never intended to let you go, Lex. You always have been and always will be… MINE!”
I throw myself at him and pull him into me. “I love you. I love you. I love you!”
“Well, duh. I love you, too you frustrating female! Now you need to plan a wedding. Just make it snappy! I’ve been patient long enough!”
Jude
It’s full night now and I look over at the gorgeous woman sleeping next to me.
Lexi. My love. My life. My fiancée.
Things are not easy, but we’ll make it. Her beside me is the only way I can exist…
I lift her hand and kiss my ring on her finger. This is the first day of the rest of our life.
One thing is absolutely certain; things will never be boring…

A Note from the Author
Thank you so much for reading my debut novel.
Lexi and Jude have been in my head for a long time, but it has taken quite awhile for me to have the courage to pursue my dreams and actually put their story out there.
I hope you loved the book as much as I loved writing it and I hope that you’ve fallen as in love with my characters as I have.
If you DID in fact love the book, please:
*Leave a Review
Reviews help Indie Authors sell books.
*Recommend the book to others.
*Lend the book. One time lending is enabled on Alluring Turmoil.
I have much more to tell you about Bayou Stix and some other books as well, and I pray that you allow me to share my stories
Thanks…
