......Been there, done that – there wasn’t much that Eli
Walker hadn’t experienced as a cop. Even working in one of the better precincts
in New York City didn’t help dispel the depravity he saw on a daily basis. It
was all part and parcel of his mantra of living life in the now, not worrying
about the future.
And especially with women. No strings, no attachments, and
he made that perfectly clear before he ever bedded them. Relationships were not
on his agenda – not now, not anytime in the near future. Women flocked to him
and he could take his pick; himself exiting the encounter with what he’d wanted
and leaving them aching for more, left dreaming of his curly locks and bronze
body.
A chance encounter pulling a mugger off of a woman changed
his whole world. She was blonde and beautiful – Eli didn’t care about any of
the interracial politics that would surround any serious relationship. He just
knew he had to have Ainsley, like an alcoholic needs his next drink. This was
all new territory for Eli and could he stay to the path, all the way to its
end? Or would she be like all the others in his life ?…...
Relationships were something I ignored. I couldn’t remember what started me down that path –it probably had something to do with some weekend liberty when I was in the Army, as we would all go down to the local bar, get shit-faced drunk, and pick up women. Now I was having all sorts of thoughts. Before, getting married and having kids, like my partner, was far from my mind. That was, until I pulled some asshole off Ainsley and she came to the station to thank me. So … what did I want with her? Did I want something forever and go down the white picket fence lined road? I wasn’t sure, but what I did know was I didn’t want to ever see her with anyone else. I’d kill anyone who touched what was mine. And maybe it was a temporary thing and wouldn’t last. But I was certainly going to put forth some effort into exploring these feelings were which were causing my mouth to go dry and my heart to race whenever I saw her look at me with those crystal blue eyes. I wanted to keep her wrapped in my arms so I could protect her from everything evil. I never had those kinds of feelings before I met her.
Jeanine Binder grew up in a small town in California on the outskirts of Palm Springs, where the Hollywood celebrities liked to vacation. After thirty years, she packed up, moved to Arkansas where she still lives today. Her hobbies include her writing, reading good books, and seeing exotic places (loves to go on cruises).
Writing has always been a passion and hoping the next twenty years will bring many enjoyable books for others to read.
