With just a little over a week to go until the release of Salvation, here's the final excerpt (told from Seth's perspective). Release day is 5/13/2016.
“You didn’t want me three years ago,” I bit out. “I get that. But not one word – not one fucking word to let me know that you were okay…to ask if I was okay?” I snatched Ronan’s plate off the island and dropped it into the sink, uncaring that it broke. “Watching me from the woods like some stalker-” I didn’t get any further because Ronan grabbed me and spun me around and pushed me back against the counter. “You’re a smart guy, Seth,” he muttered even as his hands pinned mine next to my body. “You saw me in your bathroom,” he said as he dropped his mouth close to mine. “You felt me,” he nearly whispered against my lips. “Did it feel like I didn’t want you?” I cursed my body for responding to his nearness but I cursed the fact that I was so desperate to believe him even more. “You wouldn’t let me touch you-” “That’s about me, not you,” he interrupted. His lips actually grazed the skin next to my lips as he spoke. I wanted to ask what he meant but I was too stunned to realize what he was admitting to. But my fledgling hope died a quick death as what it was that he wasn’t saying hit me. He wanted me but he didn’t want to want me. “I…I think you should go, Ronan,” I managed to say despite the sudden tightness in my throat. Ronan hung there for a moment and I wished like hell he’d ignore my request and seal his mouth over mine. But then his hands fell from mine and he stepped back. “Not until I get some answers,” he finally said. I nodded because at that point, I was willing to do just about anything to get away from him for good.
