After bailing out of his fighter jet, Mack Bradley wakes up in a
luxury hotel with a bunch of guests who, like him, have no memory of how they
arrived. He’s drawn to one of them, Lily Wardman. But can he trust her or
anyone else in this strange environment where hidden dangers lurk? And what
happens when Mack’s brother, Grant, mounts a desperate search to find him?
(Mack and Lily left the hotel grounds and went into the
woods--where the world turned crazy. Pursued by fantasy creatures, they barely made
it out again.)
With every
ounce of strength Mack had left, he heaved himself up and staggered toward the
door.
“Come back,”
Lily gasped.
“Gotta close
it.”
He slammed the
wooden barrier closed, before staggering away from the wall again and sinking
to the lawn beside Lily. She rolled toward him and gave a dry sob.
“It’s okay.
Everything’s okay,” he whispered, reaching for her and pulling her into his
arms, clinging and rocking, so thankful that they had both escaped.
She clung to
him, shaking.
“What happened
to us in there?” she gasped. “I mean, everything turned crazy.”
“Yeah, but we
got out.”
“Where did
that loony stuff come from?”
“Loony.” He laughed,
then shook his head. “Yeah, Looney Tunes.”
He had no real
answers for her as he stroked his hands over her back, tangled them in her
hair. He only knew that they were lucky to have escaped alive.
But they were
safe now, and she was in his arms. He’d wanted to hold her like this, touch her
like this. It had seemed wrong before. Now it was the only thing that felt
right, as he focused on Lily instead of the terror in the forest.
What had
happened in the forest didn’t make sense. But they had escaped, and they could
celebrate that.
They were both
alive, and he needed to prove it.
The desperate
look in her eyes undid him.
“That was
impossible,” she whispered. “It can’t be real.”
“Maybe not,
but this is real.”
He cupped the
back of her head and brought her mouth to his. Perhaps in some part of his
mind, he had intended it to be a reassuring kiss, but the moment his lips
touched hers, he knew he wanted more.
Lily trembled
in his arms, running her hands over his back, his shoulders, gathering him
closer, melting against him.
He barely knew
her. Or was that even true? He wanted to ask what they had been to each other.
But he wanted to kiss her more.
She made a
small, needy sound that sent sparks to every nerve ending in his body. He
angled his head, first one way and then the other, greedy to give and take.
He lay back on
the grass, pulling her on top of himself so that her body sprawled along the
length of his.
With no
conscious thought on his part, one of his hands slid down to her hips, pulling
her lower body against his erection, knowing that would only make his craving
for her worse.
But he was
beyond rational decisions. Way beyond. He was all raw nerves and desperate
feelings that the crazy trip through the woods had unleashed.
In this
out-of-kilter environment, he’d been hanging on to the shreds of civilization
as he knew it. He’d lost that veneer in the forest when they’d been running for
their lives.
Needing more
of the woman in his arms, he clasped her more tightly, pressing her breasts
against his chest.
They had just
escaped from dangers beyond his wildest imagining. Now he needed to affirm
their escape—in this place where he couldn’t trust his own observations or his
senses—and where everything might change in an instant.
As they clung
to each other, it was only a small leap to the next step. The need to claim her
for his own, the need to be deep, deep inside her, erasing everything from
existence except the two of them and what they could give each other.
He had
forgotten where they were. Forgotten everything but the woman in his arms.
His hands
stroked over her back, then down to her hips while he feasted on her, with an
abandon that might have shocked him if he’d been capable of rational thought.
He worked his
hand between them and cupped her breast, then glided his thumb across the
beaded nipple.
Lord she felt
so good, and the small sounds she made only fueled his passion.
He was about
to pull up her shirt to give himself better access to her breasts when a bark
of a laugh made them both go rigid.
“Is this what
you consider exploring the hotel?” a voice said. “Looks like a more personal
exploration to me.”
