Excerpt © C.A. Harms 2015
It’d been two days.
Two days of unanswered calls, unanswered texts. Two days of driving by her
house day and night, only to find it empty. I spoke with her boss at Spencer’s,
and he too said she had taken some time off.
With each day my
heart sank a little more with the thought that I had thrown away the best thing
that had ever happened to me. This was on me, completely. I acted like the
biggest dick when I should have just talked to her.
“Hey, numb nuts,
you still pouting?” Kade shouted as he exited the French doors onto the back patio.
“I need to change
my locks,” I grumbled. Resting my head back against the chair, I closed my
eyes, attempting to block him out.
“Don’t blame me for
your massive amount of shit. I’m just here for the pool—oh, and the free beer.”
He chuckled as he pulled his shirt up and over his head, then took off and
jumped, cannonballing into the pool. “Whew,” he yelled out just before hitting
the water. The cool splash flowed backward, drenching the entire patio.
All I could do was
shake my head at the ass. He was doing everything possible to pull me from my
slump. I picked up my phone and checked once again for any response only to
come up empty. “Give the girl some time. I know it’s driving you crazy, not
being able to fix this, but you need to try to give her some space.” Kade
climbed out of the pool, shaking his hair, once again spraying water in every
direction. Cocky son of a bitch chuckled as I jumped from my chair and stepped
back.

Harper Jameson, had
built the necessary walls to keep her heart safe. Never again would she allow
herself to be weak and vulnerable.
Confident and full of attitude. A mask she wore that many fell for. Except Easton Black. He was equally confident, cocky and knew what he wanted. Determined. Things he wanted rarely escaped his grasp. He was immune to the façade Harper had created. She was intriguing. It was inevitable and Harper could sense that there was no way out. Easton Black would no doubt be the man who could change everything. People aren’t always as strong as they appear to be on the outside… |
Inevitable Excerpt

The moment I
knocked on her door, I think my heart jumped in to my throat. A deep vicious
bark had my nerves on high alert. The bark didn’t sound like any dog I had ever
been around. I know she had one, I remember the day she brought it by Jett’s
place to show him, the day she picked him up. But that bark, the one that was
still flowing out from behind her door, I had to admit had me a little worried.
I wasn’t an animal
guy. I had never had one and had no desire to change that.
When the door came
open and I looked down to see a head the size of a car looking back at me, I
swallowed hard. Okay so maybe the size of a car was an exaggeration but in
panic mode everyone tends to do that.
“That is not a
dog,” I stated. “That’s is a tank.”
Harper laughed. “No
actually this is Brutus, and I promise you he isn’t just a dog.”
I looked up at her,
cocking my eyebrow.
“He is my best
friend, my cuddle buddy and the protector.” She explained as she rubbed his
head in a motherly way. “He may be big.”
“He’s fucking
huge,” I corrected.
“Okay he may be
huge, but he is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. Don’t let him fool ya, he’s
a big baby.” I still wasn’t convince. The idea of a dog being almost as big as
most motorcycles, had me convinced that I should wait in the car.
“Will you stop
being such a pussy,” Harper stated as she placed her hand on her hip. “He won’t
hurt you. In fact he is scared of his own shadow on a good day.”
She opened the door
and I took a step inside, still leery of the dog that could stand on his hind
legs and be taller than me. She led me toward the couch and directed me to have
a seat.
“I just need five
minutes.” She rushed off before I could say another word.
I was tense and
afraid to move, Brutus, watched me from the left end of the couch. I continued
to stare straight ahead, thinking if I avoided eye contact, maybe he would walk
away.
My actions had the
opposite effect. I felt his head nudge my knee and I stiffened, this shit was
messed up. Dogs were supposed to be small and cute. Never should a dog be
larger than their owner…never.
I strong nudge
against my leg once more, made me sweat a little. Then Brutus went one step
further and placed his paw on my thigh, laying his head next to it, letting out
a loud, humph.
“Hey there big
guy,” my voice vibrated with tension. Harper was right, what the fuck. I was
acting like a damn pussy.
I lifted my hand
and began petting the top of Brutus’s head. “You’re not that scary are ya?” It
was definitely more of a question than a reassuring statement. I still wasn’t
completely convinced that he wasn’t going to eat me before Harper finished
getting ready.
“Okay, this isn’t
so bad is it?”
I let out a breath
I had been holding since Harper left me alone with the grizzly. His big puppy
dog eyes looking up at me as they sagged in awe. Apparently he liked it when
you scratched behind his ears.
So for the next,
what felt like ten minutes, I continued to pet him in the place he enjoyed the
most. Yes I still silently prayed that I made it out of here with all my limbs
in tacked but I may have been able to relaxed, just a little.

KADE
“Here’s the
address,” Easton said as he passed the paper over the top of the table toward
me. “Bennie said they live in a ranch-style home at the end of the lane.”
Vermont. They stuck
around for a few months after the funeral and then picked up and moved
thousands of miles away. Running from the place where they saw their daughter
everywhere they looked.
“You sure about
this, Kade?” Jett asked as he sat down in the booth next to me.
“Yeah, I am. It’s
something I have to do. It’s the last step before I can say good-bye to Jenna,”
I explained as I twisted the paper between my fingers. “I’m ready to move on
with Avery, and I can’t do that until I do this.”
My stomach was in
knots at the idea of facing Jenna’s parents. I had no idea what to expect, but
I wanted to close this chapter.
“I’m gonna need
something from you, Jett,” I said as I looked up from my hands.
“And what would
that be, brother?” he asked.
“Keep an eye on my
girl,” I said, and he grinned widely and nodded as Easton chuckled. “Yeah, I
know. You never thought you’d see the day, right?”
Jett placed his
hand on my shoulder and patted it.
“Nope, I didn’t,
but it looks good on ya.” “What does?” I asked.
“Love, infatuation,
whatever you wanna call it,” Easton said.
“Pussy-whipped,
henpecked, does it matter how you refer to it?” Jude flopped down in the seat
next to Easton, chuckling. “Avery has you wrapped around her pinky, and you are
sunk to the deepest depths, brother.”
I smiled. “Where
the hell did you come from?”
“I’ve been quietly
observing this exchange you three were having.” He leaned back, waiting for me
argue with what he had said. But he was right. It was pointless. Avery had me
tied up tight, and there was no coming back.

“Hello.” I froze as
Jude’s voice carried up the stairway, then jumped up from my position on the
floor in our bedroom and scrambled for the door. Before I opened it, I turned
back to face the kids, who were playing tug-of-war with the unnamed puppy.
“Stay here.” They
both nodded, and I slipped out of the room, closing the door behind me. Jude
had just reached the top of the steps, and he looked up with a smile.
“Where are the
kids?”
“They’re playing in
our room,” I said as I approached him.
“What’s wrong?” he
asked.
“Nothing,” I
assured him as I continued to walk. He cocked an eyebrow at me, and my stomach
dropped. He was seeing right through me. I was such a bad liar.
“The kids are busy.
Wanna sneak downstairs and have a quickie?” I wagged my eyebrows, but his
facial expression did not change in the slightest.
“Now I know you’re
full of shit. You’re actually attempting to distract me with sex,” he said with
a grin. I was just about to argue when the puppy barked.
“What was that?” he
asked.
“Uh…”
My stomach was
flipping around anxiously, and I didn’t even get to figure out a way to break
the news before everything broke loose. The bedroom door came open behind me,
and I heard the puppy’s claws tapping against the hardwood floor as Zoey and
Matthew followed him. Squealing and laughter filled the hallway as I remained
locked in place. I avoided looking at Jude. In fact, I stared down the floor
instead.
“Are those my
boxers?” Jude asked, and I looked up. He was pointing at the puppy, who was
sitting back on his butt looking up at Jude. Hanging from his mouth were a red
pair of Jude’s Calvin Klein boxers I had just purchased last week.
“Warrior likes to
play tug-of-war with them,”
Matthew announced
as he pulled on the other end of the red material.
“See, you just hook
your hand through this handle, and he pulls back.”
Matthew slipped his
little hand through the front opening in the boxers.
“His name is not
Warrior,” Zoey argued.
“We still have to
draw for his name, remember? Callie said so.”
I could feel Jude’s
eyes boring in to me. I knew he was waiting for me to look up, but I was
avoiding eye contact.
“What do you think
we should name him, Uncle Jude?” Matthew asked.
“I like Warrior,
but Zoey said Buddy or Charlie. I don’t like those.”
The kids began to
argue over the name of our new puppy, and of course I continued to keep my head
down as my heart raced with the idea that Jude may be angry.
“Callie,” Jude
said, and my stomach lurched. He didn’t sound mad, yet he didn’t sound happy,
either. Silence set in, and I knew all eyes were on me. I took in a deep breath
and closed my eyes tightly.
“I never should
have let them convince me to go into the pet store, but before I knew what hit
me, they were laughing and playing with this cute little guy.”
I looked up and
found Jude staring back at me, an unreadable expression on his face. “They
ganged up on me, and they gave me that look. You know the one.”
t was then I
noticed the smile tugging at his lips. “Are you ever going to be able to tell
them no?” Jude asked as he stepped around the puppy. I shook my head. I knew
the moment they turned on me and gave me those big, sad eyes, I was putty in
their hands. I was unable to disappoint them.
