Rain

A sudden rainstorm while she's out jogging sends Sophie racing for whatever shelter she can find. There, she meets Patrick, and their instant chemistry soon leads to most public--and the hottest--encounter of her life...

Excerpt:
The clouds gathering overhead were ugly, but I ignored the warning and set out. I couldn’t stay in my apartment. My roommates—all three of them—had brought their boyfriends over for the weekend and if there weren’t the active sounds of fucking, then there were half-dressed, sweaty men moving about the place as if they belonged there.

It was distraction.

One I couldn’t afford.

I’d made the conscious decision not to date while at college. I knew my personality and my heart. If I fell for a guy, I could be consumed by my need for him. I’d nearly flunked a year of high school because of my first relationship. Because I’d been too interested in my then-boyfriend to care about studies.

Alec had been everything to me, and he had been my first in so many things. My first kiss. The first guy I’d ever given head to. The first to fuck me.

And the first to break my heart.

Yes, he was the one to break up with me, after we’d been together for nearly a year. That was like a whole lifetime that I’d dedicated to him, when seen in the prism of high school.

In the end, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I had thrown myself in my studies as a way to distract myself. It was my senior year. My last chance to do anything in school. By staying in the library at every opportunity, I didn’t have to be out in the halls, where I would have been certain to see him making out with his new girlfriend.

It was the first and only time in my life that I achieved a perfect set of grades in all of my classes. Which had raised my GPA enough to get me into the college of my choice.

Far away from Alec.

Who, I had been told, had flunked out of our local community college and was now living off his current girlfriend. A slightly older woman who worked for his father.

I had used the same focus here in college. I intended to use it to start my career.

So that I would never find myself dependent on a man. So that I could make something great of myself.

Maybe, in a way, I wanted to show Alec what he had thrown away was worth more than he could ever have dreamed.

That didn’t mean I didn’t have the same physical needs that everyone else did. Most of the time, my vibrator was enough to take care of it.

But when my roommates were ‘entertaining’ their boyfriends, the atmosphere became so heavy with lust, I needed to get away. Made me want to run from my arousal, even after I’d made myself cum more than once in a morning with my favorite toy.
