Here’s the first scene from Sinful Rewards 12 (releasing June 16th)
A head-splitting droning sound wakes me. “You’re breathing too loudly,” I mumble, my mouth feeling as though I swallowed a bag of cotton balls. Hawke doesn’t answer and the droning continues. I sigh. This is a struggle. A weight bears down on my chest.
A furry, purring weight.
I open one eye and then the other. Gisele, our cat, is staring at me, her cute little face a whisker away from mine, her yellow cat eyes not blinking. “You’re not supposed to be a morning cat.”
Is it morning? I turn my head toward the window. The sun is shining, rays of light coming from high in the sky. “Shit.” I frown. “How long did I sleep, Gisele?”
She jumps off my naked body onto the mattress and then leaps gracefully to the hardwood floor. A selection of cat toys surround the bed, the mess making my fingers twitch. A glass of water, two Tylenol capsules, and what appears to be the contents of a man’s pockets are on the makeshift nightstand. Gratefully popping the Tylenol and swigging the water, I chase this combination with a mint I find in a small black tin.
I should wander to the bathroom, wash my face, brush my teeth, comb my hair. Judging by the makeup and glitter left on the pillowcase, I must look like hell. This effort is beyond my capabilities right now. A transport truck filled with pain is driving its way through my brain.
Hawke’s presence soothes some of my agony. Although the door is closed, I know he’s in the main room. I hear his deep voice. A smile curls my lips. He’d never leave without telling me. I touch the dog tags cradled between my breasts. He realizes how that freaks me out.
Waiting for my headache to dissipate and my man to return, I prop a pillow against the headboard and tuck the cotton top sheet around my body. The only regret I have about last night was the amount of alcohol I drank.
I remember arriving at the Road Gator, the bikers lining a green-tarp carpet, the boisterous and overwhelming welcome when we entered the bar. Hawke had to leave me, a situation demanding his attention. Ellen ordered whiskeys. We drank and after the second round, my memory of the evening grows blurry.
I tilt my head, searching my memories and not finding a hell of a lot. We had a good time and the happiness lingers, a warm fuzziness in the pit of my stomach. I belonged. I was accepted, one of them.
