Excerpt Reveal: FOUR LETTER WORD by J. Daniels
I showered and shaved,
slathered on my favorite sweet-smelling body lotion, slid into the dress after
deciding on a thong and no bra, thanks to the mesh, and curled and teased my
hair, giving it body and height that looked kick-ass paired with my outfit.
I also went to town on
my makeup job, keeping everything heavy but the kind of heavy that screamed
fierce concertgoer and not back alley hooker.
Dark, smoky eyes, false
lashes that flared at the ends, and warm cerise lipstick.
I felt pretty. Really pretty.
The kind of pretty a
girl had to commemorate with a selfie, and there was only one person in the
entire world I wanted to send that selfie to.
I bit my lip while
swiping my phone off the bed and pulling up the camera mode.
I was nervous.
Understandably so. This
would be the first time Brian was going to see me.
Like ever.
Heavy stuff right
there.
I’d thought about
sending him pictures before, but got sidetracked with conversation and his
sweet as warmed honey voice I wanted to taste, and all thoughts of pictures
would slip my mind. Considering he never asked to see a photo of me didn’t help
either.
Since he wasn’t
bringing it up, I was hardly thinking about it.
But right now, standing
in my bedroom with my makeup done up and my hair looking prettier than it had
on prom night, sending Brian a picture of me was suddenly all I could think
about.
And before I could
think or whisper talk myself out of it, I reversed the camera so I could see
myself on the screen, held the device out in front of me and off to the right a
bit, pursed my stained lips into a kiss, other hand poised at my chin to blow
it, and snapped the picture.
Then I attached it to a
text and hit Send.
Feeling WILD.
I wanted to put my
phone down. Really I did, especially since I had to snap on my studded cuff
bracelet and that required use of both hands, furthermore because Tori had
given me a fifteen-minute warning close to fifteen minutes ago, but I couldn’t
let the damn thing go.
I couldn’t stop looking
at it either.
My stomach was
clenched. I was biting my fist and pacing the length of the bed, head down and
eyes anxiously focused.
But when the little
bubbles floated in teasing intervals on my screen and I knew Brian had seen my photo, that’s when the real panic set in.
Would he like how I
looked? Would it be how he had imagined and confessed to imagining countless
times late at night to me, or better, would my photo exceed the limits of his
imagination and paint a more pleasing image in his mind?
Or would he hate it and me for sending it to him, shattering
his dreamed-up spank-bank material and ruining every orgasm I ever gave him?
Shit.
Shit!
Which was it and why
the hell was he taking so long to type? Didn’t he know this was killing me?
“Hurry up!” I whispered
against the screen.
It started ringing in
response to my plea, startling me and nearly slipping out of my hand.
Oh, God, he was
calling.
Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.
Which four letter word will
change their lives forever?
