Deception by Jordan Silver Read Free Book Online

thought and sense of being as the kiss consumed me I felt
the heat of his need against me and mewled. His answering groan was loud, and I
guess that's what broke the spell. He drew away from me abruptly and without
another word turned and left the kitchen. I was left catching my breath and
wondering what the hell was happening to my life.

 
    Colin

 
    What, the fuck,
was that? Was I so desperate that I'd wade in that pool again? Didn't she burn
me badly enough before? Fuck. My heart was still racing and my body refused to
obey me. I knew I still wanted her, but not like this I wanted her on my own
terms. Not with the same old passion with which she’d ruled me.
    I spent the rest
of the day holed up in my office. Face it Colin you're hiding out. I peaked in
on my son in the afternoon but apart from that I stayed the hell away from her.
When it was nearing Anthony's bedtime I snuck into my room heading to the en
suite bathroom to have a shower. I heard her on the monitor, I couldn't quite
hear what she was saying so I turned it up, and got my second shock of the day.
She was singing some slow sad melody about love abiding and loving me for a
long, long time.
    Fuck me, oh my
fucking hell, what the hell is she trying to do to me? She sounded so sad, so
alone; why was she singing those words? What the hell did it mean? I pulled my
hair in frustration as tears ran down my cheeks. I dared anyone to listen to
those words sung in her sweet, melancholic voice and not break. The saddest
part was that she was singing to herself, that was no lullaby for my son and
she had no idea I was in my room listening in. That was a woman's broken heart
put into song. How many times had she sung this shit to herself?
    She broke my
fucking heart for the second time.

Chapter 12

 
    Almost One Year
Earlier

 
    After our second
full day together Colin insisted I move out of the hostel where I was staying
and move into the villa with him. Separate rooms of course. There was no
hesitation on my part. I'd fallen madly and completely in love with this man.
    For someone
who's usually overly cautious I threw caution to the wind and jumped right in
with both feet. It was the first time in my life that I'd relaxed my guard and
allowed myself to be free.
    After losing my
mom and dad in a car accident at fifteen I was pretty much alone in the world.
Melissa's family had been awarded guardianship since they were my godparents,
but I 'd never felt like one of them, though Melissa and I were pretty close.
The proceeds from the insurance was in trust until I turned twenty one, but the
executor said they were stipulations that allowed for a graduation gift among
other things, I chose this trip.
    Melissa was
supposed to join me but had to cancel at the last minute when Keith her
boyfriend of three years got hurt and was hospitalized.
    So that's how I
came to be alone on the Isle of Greece. It was very badly done of me but I was
very happy that I was alone, now there would be no one to distract from my time
with Colin.
    We spent our
days getting to know each other. Our likes and dislikes. What our dreams were.
I was amazed to find that he was so down to earth. A rich, gorgeous young guy
who was, if not exactly shy very laid back.
    He treated me
like the proverbial princess, always holding my chair, opening doors for me,
making me walk on the inside. He was so attentive and sweet that he captivated
me. I was so taken with him and the way he made me feel that there was no
remorse when I gave him my virginity one week after meeting him for the first
time. He made that experience so memorable, so special. With candlelight and
strewn rose petals, soft words of praise, those things that most took for
granted but meant the world to me. I was so in love, we were so in love. It was
magical.

 
    Present Day

 
    After putting
the baby to bed I wasn't sure what to do with myself, it was too early for bed,
and Colin had been missing since this morning, hiding out in his
